being wagcd throughout Italy.
More than one hundred are known
to have been killed and at least 1000
wounded il the past year, and the
toll is growing us street fighting and
anti-Commrnists uprisings continue.
Disorders at Milan, Ancona, Leghorn.
Venice and Genoa are reported. Nor

tanned over the extent Of the fighting,
but it is known that outbreaks are oc.
curing continually.
The civil war, which is an outgrowth
of reprisals on the part of Fascist fol.
lowing their early anti-Communist ac-
tlvities shortly after the end of the great
war; finds the government q non-parti-

currences throughout the greater part
of Italy.

During the past year wolves have
been so bad that stockmen have COM

Remarkab BILE Henry Ford

Roger Babson, the eminent
econ' mist, and business Z Wis
er, spent part of the recent
Christmas holidays with Henry
Ford at the latter's home in
Detroit. He says that one
day during his visit he heard
Mr., Ford say to his wife: "Do
you remember how seventeen
years ago we tramped the
streete of Detroit trying to find
someone who would credit us
for a chicken for our Christmas
dlnner?" And then he added,
thoughtfully, almost to himself
"And last year I paid the Unit
ed States government more
than seventy six million dol
lars in taxes"
A!add' \ s lamo t!l: " ,ndcrs
"E"n ru' bed; bu. Ford's little
tin machine has the lamp ba dly
beaten. He stated in an inter-
view since Christmas that he
had about $140,00O,0O0 in the
bank-probably the largest sum
of cash that anyone individual
ever commanded.
1t used to be said that no man
could honestly make a million
dollars, but no thoughtful man
would say this now. An inven
tive or creative genius can Gre
ate many things, for it is brains
that counts.
Mr. Ford states that his busi-
ness could now be capitalized
and sold for billion dollars
If that is true, he is our first
millionaire and the richest man
that ever lived. And yet he
has stolen nothing from any
body.
If he has created a billion
for himself. he has created ma.
ny more billions for persons liv
ing in every country of the
world. The tenant farmer to-
day rides with a swiftness and
