STRATFORD WINS
SEVERAL PRIZES

"Stratford has every reason to feel
proud over the splendid showing made
by enterprising live stock breeders of
the community at the County Fair. 1t
certainly did much to strengthen
Stratford's place in the sum- in Mar
athon county," writes F. G. Swoboda,
county agent.
"The Chester White men almost
made clean sweep in their depart
ment taking all the sweepstakes and
most of tn first prizes. In the club
competition they come second Hol-
stein breeders also made good show
ing. They ran against the hottest
kind of competition in nearly every
class. When it is known that the ex-
hibit Of Dairy cattle was according to
Geo. McKerrow the best he had seen
at county fair in all of his many
years experience. To win a place in
any class was decidedly an achieve
ment. Much favorable comment was
aroused by the town of Eau Pleine
exhibit put on by the Marathops
Pride Community Club. Credit is due
officers and members of the club who
worked hard to gather and put on the
exhibit.
lone who never has had anything
to do with fitting cattle or gathering
farm produce for an exhibit little
realizes the amount of work involved.
Fortunately, the community with
farmers of sufficient pluck get up and
go to prepare and put on an exhibit
The following farmers exhibited Hol-
stems: j. l.. Chrouser & Bro; Jacob
Spindler and Hughes Bros Stratford
Chester White Breeders: Pete LEIGH;
Louis Winzenried. o. Bolen; Joseph.
WenZel, Jake Spindler, Fred Klum;
H. M. Laessig.
Another year should see Stratford
represented not alone in the live stock
and township booths but also in the
farm crops, poultry, and women's
work departments.

EXPRESS COMPANY
HORSE RUNS AWAY

Yesterday afternoon the delivery
horse of the American Express COM
pany became frightened for some un-
known reason and started from the
office, running east on Scott street. A
man grabbed the horse by its bride
which was torn loose from the ami
mails head. The frightened horse
turned onto Third street and escaped
by a hairs breadth from colliding
with several automobiles. The animal
continued at breakneck speed and
turned the corner of Third and Nc
Clellan streets, going west. The ex-
press rig had large covered top and
it went over, making a racket which
could be heard several blocks. The
horse stopped for moment and was
caught before getting under way
again. The wagon was filled with
merchandise, but no damage was
done.

LOUIS A. PRADY. JR..
REPLIES TO LETTER OF
STATE PROGRESSIVES

Louis A. Pradt, Jr., last week ans
wered the circular letter mailed to
ex-service men by J. H. tombstone,
secretary and treasurer of the Service
Mems Progressive association in
which it was requested that Wiscon-
sin service men support the Progress
sive Republican ticket The letter fol-
lows:
81 have today received letter
from you urging me to vote for the
progressive candidates on the state
ticket, on the ground chiefly that they
will exercise their best efforts to pass
the soldiers bonus bill. You state fur
Their that the stalwart republicans
under the leadership of Gov. Philip
oppose and have publicly opposed this
bill. his statement strikes me as
containing a note of dubiety, mas
much as l cannot recall offhand any
public speech of Gov. Philip or of
any of the stalwarts to that effect.
However, We will let that pass. I also
have considerable doubts as to the ad-
visibility of the soldiers bonus bill,
even though it would mean some
$500 in my pocket if it were passed.
| have thought that burdening our ma
tional treasury with a debt of over
$1,000, 100000 was somewhat imprac-
ticable
Calls ii a Joke
But on reading your letter over
again | am convinced that it is mis-
take for me to indulge in such objec-
tons, because I see now that the let
ter is merely most delicate and sub
tie Jest-something found only too
rarely in the midst of political cam
paigns. The spectacle of Robert NJ.
La Toilette and his henchmen in the
new role of the soldiers friends is one
that must bring sparkle to the most
tired eyes and refresh the most faded
soul. | have to thank you, sir, for
giving me hearty laugh, and that is
worth great deal in these trouble
some times.
Even so, | am afraid that | can
not quite persuade myself to vote for
your ticket, but let that not deter me
from proffering you my hearty thanks
for having thus enlivened busy day
for me. You have my permission to
use this letter in your campaign if
you think it will prove helpful to

Color and Disease,

Color really does fight disease Take
for example the ultraviolet ray. Here
we have most convincing proof OF the
healing force that resides In color.
This famous ray exerts a very po-
tent curative effect upon certain dis
eases Of the skin. A ray of ultra
violet light Is concentrated upon the
diseased part, and Immediately q new
process is set up by which the disease
Is eventually Destroyed.

 IF TREACHERY
Twelve Men Secured for the Jury in Murder Trial
 At Montesano
(speciaI to the Revlewl

COURT HOUSE, MONTESANO, Wash, Feb. 6.-Removal or a special bailiff sworn to guard the jury in the trial of Il men for the So-called l. w.. w. murder at Centralia Armistice day, was ordered tonight by Judge John M. Wilson. The defense had objected to the attendant on the ground that he was in the employ of the prosecution. The discussion over the bailiff was held in the chambers at the afternoon recess and had not been fully adjusted at the close of court day which re- suited in the seating or one alternative juror. Final selection of two alterna- tive jurors will be made by noon to- morrow and will be followed by the states opening statements.
 The executive conference between counsel was heated. Defense Counsel George F. Vanderveer charged that the special bailiff, J. H. Pittinger, was "a st pol pigeon for the state"
 "He has been running a few CT rands for me since the trial began" responded Special Prosecutor w. H. Abel, who did not object to the re- movai.
 Another bailiff will be selected to- morrow Bailiffs H. A. Hildebrand, A. J. Jackson and R. Shelly, with the new bailiff to be appointed, will guard the jury.
 ''The defense suggested another bailiff who was not satisfactory to the state, and so we left it to the court" '" explained Prosecutor Abel, after the conference.
 Vanderveer declared Pittinger had been regularly engaged as detective for the state. 'It is natural and req sonable," he added, "that we should desire impartiality in the men who are to be with the jurors constantly, eating and sleeping near them, their only company"
 When the final panel is completed, the IA jurors will be kept under lock and key, until the end of the trial The 12 jurors were placed in- comunicado today.

POLICE CHIEF

(SpeciN to The Review )

TOMBSTONE, Feb. 6.-Tompstone today had a population several hun dred less than during the week as the result of the adjournment yesterday, until Tuesday of the superior court, in which the case of H. W. Wootton, one of the 210 defendants in the Bis bee deportation case, had been on trial since Monday
 Last night and this morning wit messed an exodus of attorneys, wit nesses, defendJnts and their friends, who have been making this city their headquarters since the Wootton case was called.
 In spite of the decided difference of opinion regarding the cases. no trouble of any kind occurred during the week and Tombstone, once a min ing camp where the language of the siX-shooter and rope were understood by all, is rapidly coming to the con clusion that it is now the most law abiding town in the southwest.
 Issues UItimatum.
 Porter Mcdonald, the police de- partment" of Tombstone, however. is taking no chances. Chief Mcdonald says he has seen too much action around Tombstone to go to sleep just because everything seems quiet. The following notice was issued by Nc Donald today:
 "A few days ago 1 heard some talk about it not being right for me to search certain persons for firearms, so I want to tell everybody that if any persons attending the trials are in the habit of carrying firearms without a legal permit they had better leave their guns off when they come to Tombstone. and if anyone wants to avoid suspicion they had better re- move from their pockets all Ford cars and Wobbly magazines or anything else that will cause a suspicious bulge under their coats"

SAYS FARMERS
 NEED GUARANTY
w h at Director Protests Against Withdrawal of
 U. s. Pledge

NEW YORK. Feb .. Julius H. Ea-res. r';ited States wheat director. tonight made public a letter to Sen atcr Groupa. in whicl hc terms th. latter's hill for the repeal of tfe
 .heat guaranty act in1 the abolition Of tGe grain corpor 1tion as a direct rcpu6lation of the nle1Ss mado ny congress to the wheat producers for the crGp of 1919.
 Senator Gronna's bill. which has been favorably reported by the sen- ate agriculture committee. repeals all government control over the price of wheat and requires the grain corpo- ration to wind up its affairs without delay
 Mir. Barnes asserts that at a time when no one can accurately predict tho trend of prices, Senator Gronna apparently feels such confidence in his own judgment that the farmer will benefit by the withdrawal of gov ernment stabilization that he would immediately take from the wheat pro- ducer the protection of the billion dollar guaranty. which congress has pledged itself to give until June 1. The wheat director gives warning that by abolishing the government guaranty congress may precipitate still further decline in the price of wheat even below that of the guaranteed price. He adds that ''only the most colossal egotism would pre- sume to forecast the course of prices in the face of worldwide unsettle- ment. which within the past few days has wrecked the United States export trade by total collapse of over seas finance"
 If congress should repudiate Fs own pledge to the farmer, MT. Barnes adds, the possibilities of depreciation in value after the withdrawal of the government guaranty arc such that six million farmers will ask congress "by what right it repudiated the pledged national guaranty on the un- deriving foundation of which the in- fluence of supply and demand has built an average premium of 30 cents per bushel."

 CONSPIRACY BY
 NEW YORK REDS
Attorney General of State Says Half Million Are
 Active Plotters

WASHINGTON, Feb. 6.-Stringent laws and strict enforcement of them will not curb radicalism. but educa- ton must walk hand in hand with law, Charles D., Newton, attorney gen eral of New York, today told the house judiciary committee, which is considering anti-se4ition legislation.
 Though differing with the New York attorney general in the extent and seriousness of the radical move ment, Francis H. F. Kane, who re- signed as district attorney for eastern Pennsylvania, because he differed with the department of justice in it's campaign against the reds" agreed that education was needed be- cause many members of the commun- ist, communist labor and other radi- cal parties were ignorant of the pur- poses of the organizations and signed membership cards under false as- sumptions.
 Former District Attorney Kane told the committee there was no menace to the country whatever in the way of radicalism, much of that which is said and written on the subject being "mere bunk" From the New York attorney general. however, the com mittee got a different view. Five hun dred thousand radicals had organ iZed fin New York with the plan Of overthrowing the government, he said, adding that unless congress and the American people soon awaken to the danger 1t will be too late to stop their activities.

PLAN AIR RACES
 AROUND OCEAN
Aero Club to Give Prizes For Airplane Event Over
 Atlantic Course

NEW YORK, Feb. 6.-Plans for an aerial circuit of the Atlantic ocean were announced by the Aero Club of America. The Aero club of the IS countries represented in the nterna- tional Aeronautica1 association will cooperate in promoting the event in which the worlds noted aviators are expected to be contestants.
 The plan is to have the competitors start from New York and fly south ward. stopping at the main cities on the Atlantic seaboard and then con- tinuing by way of Cuba. Haiti, Porto Rico, across the Carribean sea to Ca racas and along the coast to Pernam- buco. then across the Atlantic to Da- kar on the west coast of Africa. The course will then be northward along the coast of Africa touching Magador and Casa Blanca, then across either Portugal or Spain to Biarritz and along t5e French coast, stopping at several French cities, thence to Lon don and other cities of the British isles then to Christiana and other cities of Norway. Denmark, Sweden and The Netherlands.
 The north Atlantic will have to be crossed in flight. butt he competitors will be permitted to fly either by way of Ireland, Cape Farewell and St. Johns or by the way of Ireland direct to St Johns. From the latter place the competitors will return to the starting point stopping at Halifax Portland and Hoven.
 There will be two classes of con- petitors, the piloting and the non pilotfng class. The latter class are entered as passengers on aircraft pi- lOted by others, and can travel by heavier. or lighter-than-air craft. but must make the entire circuit of the Atlantic by air. The entrants of the piloting class are permitted to use any number of aircraft, but only to change from an airplane to a dirigible if the crew of the airplane is used also to pilot the dirigible. The At lantic may be crossed either with air planes or dirigibles. The prizes for the event, it is stated, will amount to more than S1O0,0000.

Milerand Declares Treaty Terms on Coal Have
 Not Been Obeyed

PARIS, Feb. 6.-The chamber of deputies voted confidence in the cab inet today upon an interpolation with regard to it's foreign policy. The vote was SIS to 6S. Premier Miller and asserted that the government was determined to execute vigorously and fully the peace treaty and serve no- tice upon Germany that "all that she owes we will exact"
 The premier said he considered that the Germans had flagrantly failed to execute the delivery of coal, which was most important to France, while burning more coal than the French to warn themselves.
 M. Millerand declared he regretted that the United States had not yet ratified the treaty. but remarked that the reparations commission was func- tioning and i've have no disquietude concerning the final decision of the United States"
 Discussing the Franco-American military pact the premier said it was reassuring because both countries want it. except that one wants it to be perpetual while the other wants it terminated if the league of nations is later deemed to afford adequate protection.
 The premier pointed out that the anti-bolshevik armies had been checked, but declared that nothing justified the belief that their reverses were final.

 America" said Mir. Bush, lis re garded abroad as a land flowing with milk and honey and unlimited wealth. whereas actually the country's finan- cial machinery is suffering from an attack of acute indigestion owing to the glut of Liberty bonds.
