AMERICAN VALUATION.

An active, organized, well financed
propaganda against the American val.

and kilograms opposing the adoption Of
the American system of valuation No

IL is propaganda of mere wild assertion,
with nothing back of it but the selfish
financial interests of the importers,

retailers and bankers interested in alien
rather than domestic production They
are carrying on this campaign for the
money that is in il for them, without
any thought or care for the welfare Of
American productive industry.
What is the American valuationlsys-

value in the country of production. 1t

Spirits that once were gay in the sun
Fast huddle about the feet of me;
Their days of joy are over and done.
Their faces are Scared with bloody

Their forms are worn and wrnkled

The frost and the VIM and sleety rains
Have left them only the boon to die.
How sorry are they that once were

How lightly they danced upon the
bough
A blithcr sight never have seen:
Alas how beggared their fortunes

Yet, winter vanished, It's here III come
To look for the early anemones;
For every leaf that autumn makes

BURCH'S FATHER
 TAXES THE STAND
 IN SONS DEFENSE
Says He Believed Defendant to Have Been Insane at Time of Kennedy's
 Death
By Associated Press

Los Angeles, December 27-Actions of Arthur c. Burch, on trial on charges of murdering J. Belton Ken nedy both before and after Kennedy was slain was related at length to- day by the Rev. William A. Burch of Evanston, III, father of the defend ant. in support of the opinion, he said. he had formed that his son Is insane.
 Rev. Burch said he reached that conclusion August 1a. last, when he saw Arthur in the Los Angeles coun- ty iail for the first time after the voung man had been charged with the staying.
 The fathers testimony took up the greater part of the sessions today. Other defense witnesses were called in an effort to impeach testimony of prosecution witnesses. They moulded Ralph R. Obenchain, former husband of Madalynne Obenchain, co-defend- ant of Burch. Obenchain testified Mrs. Elizabeth Besanty and Mrs. Mary A. Bailiff had made statements to him at variance with those they made on the witness stand.
 Rev. Burch gave history of the life of Arthur. to whom he referred AS my only son declaring the lat ter was a quiet. studious youth, de- voted to his parents and interested in church and Sunday school work up to about three years ago when he became interested in ranching ven- ture in Montana. The father said the first change he noted in his sons be- havior was deception in regard to money matters"
 Before the Montana venture, the elder Burch testified. Arthur never used alcohol or tobacco, or talked in a prOfane manner.

WEEKS ID SUBMIT
 A QUESTIONABLE ID FORD'S AGENTS
Secretary of War Wants to Act With Men of Authority and Asks Agents to Get
 Power of Attorney
By HUGH W. ROBERTS Bureau, The Age Herald,
 800 Davidson Building.

.cN 500 Davidson Building. ,,sw shington, December 27.-Spe-
 .i.)-Questionnaires calling for specific information relative to all features of the offer of Henry Ford to buy the governments properties at Muscle Shoals is prepared by the Secretary of War for submission to either MT. Ford of his agents this week.
 It is announced at the office of the secretary this afternoon that Ford s representatives, W. B. Mayo and J. w. Warrington. have not asked for another appointment with the sec retary since they were advised last Friday to secure from their employer power of attorney
 The secretary. it is reported, is very anxious to act with those au- thorized to make guarantees. The questionnaire is, in fact the letter which Secretary Weeks wrote for transmission to Ford. When the agents of the Detroit manufacturer suggested that they be permitted to reply to the letter they were advised to secure power of attorney. This they are endeavoring to do, it is eNl- dent.
 While the great hitch in the nego- tiations concerns a discrepancy in cost estimates approximating sio,- 900, 900, it Is evident that in several other respects regarseu as vital the secretary wants a definite state ment which can be weaved into a contract. It is said that the seCre- tary is very anxious to secure de- tailed statement regarding the plans of Ford to make fertilizer. He will ask Ford 1t is understood, if he plans to produce fertilizer for year or during the life of the lease. Other questions will seek light on processes tiltzer to be produced per annum. The secretary will also ask Ford, it Is reported, how he will estimate costs in arriving at his s per cent profit to be made from fertilizer.
 There is an indication that as soon as this questionnaire Is satisfactorily answered, the secretary will be pre-. pared to send the offer to Congress with or without recommendation.
 While there is no disposition to pre-judge the offer which C. c. link Ter of California will probably sub init for Muscle Shoals next week, it is understood that high officials are not deeply impressed at the present moment.
