Scandal in Auto Circles

There have been a lot of jokes sprung about the Ford car but it re- mains for a Mena humorist to con- meet the name with scandal. Just who is responsible has not been as- certained but it is possible a islander suit will result. The story was first heard in a local garage when a me- chanic asked fellow worker if he knew about the couple that had been found behind locked doors at rival shop the night before. Scenting something good the F. W. asked who the couple was and received the startling answer: Lizzie Ford and one of the Dodge hrothers.n

Dumped Ashes, Home in Danger.

Dangers of dumping wood ashes fresh from a stove too close to the house, were emphasized at the home of J. G. Jackson one day this week. The ashes contained enough hot coals to set fire to some wood and in a short time the pile was blazing mer- rily. The fire was located close enough to endanger the splendid home of the Jacksons, and it not been for the discovery of the danger by a passerby it is possible the house would have suffered heavy loss

Two field examiners of the state board
Of accounts have recommended to
their chief examiner Jesse E. Esch-

here with unusual force, for Earl H.
Crawford is a member of the state
highway commission, and Karl l. Han
son also of this city is superintendent
of a large area embracing this and
contiguous counties, under the said
commission.
Mr.. Crawford was asked as to the
report. which severely criticises the
commission upon some points. He
thought it unnecessary to make a
formal statement, but he did express
clearly the conviction that. some

He also declares that the highway
commission. being new body. has
been at some original expense. for es-
adjustment, which will take effect for
years to come, and which cannot with
any reason or justice be charged up
as ordinary Overhead expense" All
in all, Mr.. Crawford regards the re-

GERMAN PROPAGANDA
FLOODS NEUTRALS

GENEVA, Feb. 19.-Germany has
begun to flood Switzerland and other
neutral countries with very expensive
propaganda, both in book and pamph-
let form, such as the memoirs of Lu-
dendorff, Won linden burg, Won Spree
and other naval and military lea ders
in the war. The books cost between
two and so Swiss francs each.
These, together with experiences of
the former Emperor William and
Crown Prince Frederick are sent to
Swiss citizens free of all cost without
anything to show where they origin,
ated. All classes of persons receive
them, and the Swiss newspaper are
asking who is behind this unwar-
ranted propaganda. The German min
lister at Berne has denied any official
knowledge of it.
The Journal Democratic says that
while Germany is plea ding poverty in
order to obtain exemption from repa-
ration payments and provisions of the
treaty of Versailles, and that while
she is sending to Switzerland many
children for charitable care, she Is
spending large sums for useless propa
ganda through which it is hoped to
create favorable neutral pressure on
the allied premiers.

LABOR PRICES
SHOW DROP IN OHIO
(By Associated ,Pressj

COLUMBUS, O., Feb. 19.-The price
of farm labor is skiddiDg, a reaction Of
the low prices of farm produce, accord
ing to George F. Miles, chief statis-
tician of the state industrial commits
sion. In "a report on rural wage
conditions, Miles said that the average
of farm wages does not exceed $40 a
month with room and board, whereas
six months ago, it averaged around
SIS.
Continuing the report said:
Farmers of Ohio need help, and
the free employment bureaus have
many calls, but the farmers cannot
afford to maintain the high wage
standards while the price of everything
they have for sale declines.
Last summer the highest wages
ever paid for help on the farms failed
to attract workers, and the farmer de-
clares it is easier now to secure COM
petent help at the reduced wages Of
fered than it was at the high standard
maintained when crops were ripening
and the call was more urgent that 1t
is today. Requests for farm help. how
ever, outnumber the registration at
this time, and with spring work. there
is bound to be an increased demand
for rural workers. and probably a cor
responding increase in wages. But
they never will be as high again as
they were in the past. At least there
is no prospect of such condition
now"

ell in the trial of Craig Gilmore,
charged by Miss Amy Won kanel,
school teacher, with criminally attack
ing her, announced just before the
close of court Friday afternoon at
) o'clock that the state would require
about an hour Saturday morning to
complete and rest its case.
Judge A. C. Risinger, trial Judge,
was to announce Saturday his de-
cision of an objection on the part Of
the defense to Deputy Sheriff c. R.
Wehrley testifying for the state. upon
the ground that he had been in the
court room much of the time and had
heard much of the state testimony.
The nature of the testimony he was
expected to offer was not divulged by
the prosecution. The officer was not
permitted to testify, pending decision
on the defense's objection.
Sheriff Jones was then put upon the
stand. A key alleged to have been in
possession of the defendant, that had
been introduced early in the trial, was
identified by the sheriff. The officer
was not cross examined at length.
The first witness Friday morning
was c. c. Foos, brother of Mrs. Mich
del. I1t w do lOllo"Cu oi tlC otoAu
by his brother, S. B. Foos. Both are
lawyers. Their testimony practically
was the same. c. c. Foos told of go
ing into a passageway along side the
house to look for tracks, as snow had
fallen, but the wind was high, and
he saw some tracks.
S. B. Foos testified that in company
of Clarence Kehr an investigation was
made for tracks,
Judge Elan Fisher, lawyer and for.
mer judge of the local court of com
mon pleas, was the next witness. He
was called to the Michael home the
morning Of December 16.
John O'Leary, superintendent Of the
local schools, was next called to
testify.
The state has made several efforts
to get into the records Of the case
sta ements or declarations made to
witness by Miss Won Kanel, but the de
defense has blocked the way SO far
upon contention that such evidence is
not competent. The court has sus
tanned the defense objections in each
instance.
Counsel on both sides were to de
eide this morning whether or not tc
continue the trial throughout the day
or recess at noon until Monday
nlorning.
