 Ganzey, N H-A terrific wind storm which swept through the val ley almost demolished the town yes terday and practically the only build in gnot destroyed was the Old Home stead, on the farm belonging to Joshua Whitcomb. Seemingly, it was proof against the fury of the ele- ments, and while its neighbors suf- fered great damage, 1t remained al- most unharmed.
 This was particularly noticeable and was commented upon by all be- cause 1t was simultaneous with the return of Reuben Whitcomb who had been arrested for the theft of $2,5oo from the safe of Ephraim Holbrook's store, a year or more ago, and hav- ing escaped jail in company of a tramp named Happy Jack, had been lost to his family and the authorities ever. since. With him came Rose Blaine, formerly of this place, whom he discovered in destitute circum- stances in the city.
 It has just developed that Reuben. was guiltless of the crime for which he was arrested and the, money which his father had been able to return to Holbrook, the latter will restore. It IS rumored that Reuben Whitcomb will shortly marry Ann, an adopted daughter of Joshua's and who was saved from death at Lovers Leap in the height of the great storm by her suitor.
 Happiness has come to the old homestead and even Ganzey will soon be restored But the more serious ly inclined attach spiritual signihc- ance to the fact that the home of the Whitcombs refused to surrender to the seemingly stand ing as a symbol of the greatest in stitution of civilization-the Home

This Banker Is Funny;
 Fears Minority Rule

New York, Oct 6.-In a speech in Long Island, Vice President Sisson of the Guaranty Trust Company op- posed labor's plan to limit the su- preme courts veto on legislation pass ed by congress.
 The banker declared this was an attempt to "seek the undermining or the constitution in the interests of government by a minority"
 Not a semblance of smile accom- panied this statement. MT. Sisson was as unruff1ed as when he demands 10 per cent and a 30 per cent com mission, backed by a United States bond, for 6o-day loan.

127,24o FORDS
SOLD IN APRIL
Ford Retail Sales Hit New High
Mark.

According to report just received
from the Ford Motor Company
Detroit, daily average of 5,2Io re-
tail sales of Ford cars and trucks
had been reached by the close of
April in the United States alone.
Ford sales of cars and trucks for
the month, including both domestic
and foreign, totaled I27,24o. This
establishes new high record, ex-
ceedng the largest previous month,
june, 1921, by 15,467.
The sale of Fordson tractors has
also been steadily climbing. A total
OF II,ISI Fordsons were sold during
April in the United States, daily
average OF 400 having been reached
by the end OF the month. This gives
the tractor a new high sales record,
and shows 100 per cent increase over
the best month in 1921.
The Ford Company is enjoying
banner year in all departments.
Output of Ford cars and trucks for
the year, according to present esti-
mates, will exceed 100000 which
represents ten per cent increase
over 1921.
The Ford factory at Detroit is now
operating at full capacity, having a
force of more than 10000 men on the
payroll. The scheduled output for
May will probably reach $4,000 cars
and trucks, which will be applied
against orders approximating 10000.

Look for These Diseases.

Word has been received from the
Agricultural Experiment Station at
Columbia, OF the threatening danger
OF the two new wheat diseases. Cases
have already been discovered in parts
of Illinois and in all probability these
same diseases will make their appear
ance in Missouri wheat fields. Wig
liant watchfulness on the part of the
Missouri farmers and the prompt re-
port Of the first appearance of the
disease will assist very materially in
control methods. Where the disease
once gets Roadway, it is very difficult
to control, and very destructive in its
effects. These diseases are described
as follows:
Two new wheat diseases. Flag
SMUT: Black stripes running length
wise in the leaf blades and sheaths
are typical OF flag smut. These black
stripes are dine to the spores produced
by the fungus TIL. disease is conf
| monty more injurious to the upper
leaves of the plant. The stems are
also intee ted to some extent. In
fyted plants are usually more or ITS
dsvarfed, and they rarely head out or
produce seed. Commonly all the
stalks oHi the diseased plant arc
sinutted, but occasionally one or more
stalks show no Infection Flag smut
attacks the leaves and therefore. is
easily distinguished from the other
wheat smut which attacks tie head.
Take-All: symptoms; Badly
dwarfed plants occurring in distinct
patches OF varying size and shape or
singly among the healthy plants, are
typical OF the diseases These synp-
toms first become evident in the
.rring after growth OF the healthy
p!aartS is we'll started.
Diseased plants show the following
characteristic symptoms: /, dwarf
ing and little later, 2, abnormal dark
green celebration of the fall leaves, 3,
dying of outer leaves and fall tiliers
ard browning o; crown and roots, 4,
excessive development of spring tillers,
Or 5. some plants may be killed en-
tEely while in the dwarfed stage.
Badly infested fields may have only
l few healthy plants, but where the
nfes4ation is slight, it may be very
iifficut to find the more or less iso-
ate1 diseased plants scattered among
he healthy ones. More commonly,
catches or spots of diseased plants
how here and there without regard
o the type or condition of the soil.
Host Of the plants in these spots are
diseased and stunted, thus giving a
harpiy defined margin to the area.
