SEVEN SAFE FROM WAR
Why Congressman Longworth Would
Not Take Ford Mission

While engaged in recent political
manoeuvring in Southwestern Ohio,
Congressman Nicholas Longworth
engaged in considerable storytelling
among his constituents, and in doing
so revealed certain incidents IN his
political career. According TO Long
worth. il became known in 1920 that
Henry Ford had fallen out with presi-
dent Wilson and was a possible con-
vert to the Republican way of think
ing. Longworth's story is that he was
called upon by the Republican Natl
onal Committee and requested to act
as messenger to the stronghold of
Ford with an offer to exchange certain
favors for Ford's support Of Harding
for the Presidency.
The Ohioan, while expressing him
self as very anxious to aid the Repub-
lican Party and the candidacy of
Harding, demurred. His hesitation
caused decided curiosity on the part
/ Of several National Committeeman,
and this anxiety took the form Of a
question as to why he feared success
in boarding Ford in his den. Long
worth's answer was
We'll, its this way, gentlemen. II
so happens that during the war a
speech was made by member Of
Congress, who said that there were
seven and only seven persons in the
whole world who were sure not 70 be
injured by the fighting. These were
the six sons of the Kaiser and Edsel
Ford, and. gentlemen, / am the Con

Children TO Sell Seals

As before. the seals will be sold by
school children, and also by local mer-
chants Also as in former years. il
is expected that the commercial de
partment al the high school will assist
in the sale OF the seals by getting out
the usual written appeals. In the past
school children. especially at the high
school, have sold large numbers Of the
stamps.
Miss Byrne has also received a num-
Der Of so-ealled Health Bonds"
which are priced at IS, and will prob

them contributes that sum to the
health Of his community. and will
doubtless benefit in the end The
bond itself is handsome piece of pa
per. with an appearance a good deal
similar TO that Of Liberty Bond.

MEANS sl27, 900 900 TO THE FARMERS

Unless the railroads block the order of the Interstate Commerce Commission reducing freight rates 10 per cent by tying up the matter in the courts the reduction will mean $l27 000000 to the farmers of the country The shippers have neted 100000 as result of the tempo ray reduction agricultural commodities granted for temporary period of six months result of the Amcr- can Farm Bureau Federation protest Another 39 000 COG saved to the shippers the reduction made Ill the Western Hay and Grain Other reductions show ta; since the farmer pays 5 per cent of the freight he will in all get the benefit of $220000000, and ninetythree millions have already been saved there would be bal ance of $127 000000 the credit of the farmer This is splendid justification for the work of the Farm Bureau It clear demonstration of its advantage every er of the soil.
 It remains to be whether the railroads will cept the decision. Naturally they will squeak and make out telling paper. The plain fact, however is that still greater leveng process must be passed thru before equity is established Summed up, the American railroad must either show competent management, or face the agitation for government ownership The business of the country has been hurt mmeasuraby and the public badly injured by the preposterous passenger rates and needs argument to prove that business adjustment has been held back consistently by the bur den of freight charges the railroads wise they will accept the finding of the commission without contest Is time the farmers came into little of their cwn
