Kicking About Low
Price Tractors

st. Paul, Mimi, Feb. Henry
Ford turned the tractor market up
side down when he recently announc
ed radical price cuts on the Fordson
tractor. statesmen at the National
Tractor and Power Farming Exposi-
tion said here today. j. B. Bartho-
lomew, chairman of the show, de-
clares that price cuts such as made
by Ford, the International Harvester
company and ]. l. Case Plow works
were not justified by manufactur-
ing conditions and had serious ef-
feet of the market. He charged
that those companies which are not
participating in the exposition are
heavily stocked with tractors and
are seeking a price that will move
them regardless of losses.

AUTO SPEEDERs
LAND IN PRISON
DETROIT JUDGE LAYS DOWN
LAW TO IOLATORS-MlLL
AIRES GO TO JAIL.

Detroit, Mich, Feb. Jail or
prison sentences for automobile
speeders who endanger the lives of
others, with no distinction between
truck drivers and millionaires.
This is the system that has been
put into practice here by Judge C.
l.. Bartlett, who presides over the
traffic division of Recorders court.
Judge Bartlett recently sentenced
dozens of men convicted of speeding
to the Detroit House of Correction.
The Jail sentences ranged from three
TO ten days. Fines from $25 to 800
also were assumed.
Judge Bartlett announced his rea
son for the action was to protect
lives of Detroit residents on the
streets.
Judge Bartlett classes speeders
in three divisions, and issues punish
ment accordingly.
1.-The first class is the hurried
business man." the court said. HE
is an intelligent man who has been
found guilty of speeding. He has
been derelict in his duty, it is true
but if the violation of the ordinance
with which he is charged is minor
and il no accident has resulted l am
inclined to be lenient.
''The second class Is composed oi
speeders who are ignorant, not vi
cious. This class has made no study
of traffic rules and regulations and
seems to have no care for human
| life.
| Unto the third class falls those
persons whom / believe to be insane
They delight in the wanton takinf
| of life. This class leaves its helpless
victims lying bleeding in the stree
and attempts to escape from thu
scene of crime. For these there II
no leniency.
ST have been criticized for sendint
millionaires to Jail. In my opinion
a millionaire is no better than Other
citizens"
Since Judge Bartlett announced
his crusade against speeders offens
es of this type have been reduced b!
half in Detroit, police records show
Street accidents also have been few
er.
AS the latest step In the figh'
against speeders the judge has an
nounced penalties after February ]
! will be twice as great as at present

She Could See the Man.

When Grandmother Burch was be-
yond her three score and ten, with
uncertain eyesight, she amazed and
perplexed her married daughter, with
whom she lived, by declaring that she
intended TO marry an old man living
nearby who had been coming to see
her
But, mother" said the daughter
in protest, you are not very we'll and
your eyesight is failing SO you can
not see so rods away"
The old lady protested that she
could see real good" and her daugh-
ter said:
I'VE will put it to the test. If
that old man comes around today
will have him stand near the barn
and see if you can really see him.
Be honest about it,"
The old lady agreed to do this, and
the aged sutton appeared a few h 5uis
later. He was asked to stand at one
corner of the barn, and the old lady
came out to be put to the test. Stand
ing in the door of the kitchen, she
shaded her eyes with one hand and
finally said:

Education in Prohibition.

Even after the States in overwhelm-
ing numbers ratified the dry amend
ment, the liquor mind found il hard
to grasp the fact that a majority OF
the nation had turned against the liq-
uor traffic. This condition Of mind
has made fertile field for the prop
uganda disseminated by the liquor in
terests that prohibition was put over
on the country by trick Of some sort.
The idea has been encouraged by I'M
reconciled newspapers and politicians
that have always served the liquor in
terests.
In some of the larger cities where
the opposition to prohibition is strong
est, the people have been constantly
deceived by many of their newspapers
and political leaders as to the status
Of anti-liquor sentiment in the coun-
try, and to these untruthful and fire.
quently vicious agents must be charg-
ed encouragement of the ignorant to
violate the prohibition laws. The at
titude of some of the New York pa
pers in particular has been purely an
archistic.
Because of the state of mind that
prevails in some of the centers which
have Jagged behind the country at
large in the development of anti-liquor
sentiment, a campaign of education as
| to the history of the prohibition move
ment and of the present state of SEN
timent in the country would be help
/ full, in connection with the enforce
ment Of the act. There are, Of course,
great many who have no respect
! for the dry law or any other law, but
it is apparent that there are thousands
of people who are hostile toward the
law because of transformation con-
corning its inception and its purposes.

LICENSED WAREHOUSES;
ENABLE PLANTERS
TO HOLD COTTON

More than 100000 bales of cotton
were received during last season, up
to May 81, in cotton warehouse licen-
sed under the United States ware
house, act, the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture reports. The
number of bales on hand May 81 in
these warehouses was 268,345.
"These figures indicate increased
recognition of the value of warehous-
ing cotton in Government licensed
warehouses;" says II. S. Yohe, in
charge of the Federal warehouse
work. "The receipts issued for cot
ton stored in these warehouses are
readily acceptable as collateral for
bank loans. The value of these re-
ceipts for collateral purposes enables
growers to market their cotton order
ly."
There are 271 cotton warehouses
now under Federal license as COM
pared with $50 warehouses May 81,
1921. While the number of licensed
warehouses during this period has in
creased by only SO, great many
small warehouses were dropped from

IMPETUS GIVEN TO FIGHT
ON CATTLE TUBERCULOSIS

AS the possibility of eradicating
tuberculosis in cattle becomes appar-
cnt to greater number of people,
the campaign against the great live
stock plague gains impetus. States
and counties that had given little
thought to this work from the eco
nomic standpoint are now taking it
up in a businesslike manner, says the
United States Department of Agri-
culture, because they can see the pos
sibility Of ending for all time this
drain upon their livestock resources.
The latest State to fall into line
for practical tuberculosis eradication
work is Louisiana. On June 20 the
Legislature passed a bill authorizing
the State Live Stock Sanitary Board
to cooperate with the United States
Department Of Agriculture, and pro-
viding an indemnity fund of $4,000
year for two years. A small
amount of eradication work had been
done there before, but because no
money. was provided for paying in
IDENTITIES for slaughtered animals al
most no progress was made. Since
the State has only light infestation
of tuberculosis, estimated by the Bu-
reau of Animal Industry at 1 per
cent, it should require only a few
years of sue appropriations to free
the cattle entirely.
Massachusetts, State that has
been spending money to fight tuber-
culosis of cattle since 1894, recently
passed law enabling the State Bu-
reau OF Animal Industry to cooperate
with the United States Department
of Agriculture. About $6O,OOOO
year will be provided to pay indemni-
ties on the cooperatives basis with the
Federal Government.
