By The Associated Press
 St. Joseph. Mich. May 3.-Charles F.. Ruthenberg is the first man con- yicted under the Michigan anti-syn' dicalism law. After deliberating four hours and 80 minutes a jury returned a. verdict of guilty in his trial as result of the raid on the communists party convention near Bridgman last August. It was alleged his attend ance involved criminal syndicalisln through advocaton of governmental reform by sabotage, force and Nio- lence.
 Sentence will be pronounced June 1. Ruthenberg's attorneys having un- til then to prepare an appeal. The maximum penalty Ruthenberg faces is ten years in prison. s5.ooo fine or both.
 His trial followed that of William z. Foster of Chicago on the game charge. The Foster jury was dis missed after B hours deliberation when it was deadlocked. Attorneys said that Ruthenberg's conviction assures a retrial of Foster.
 The iury's verdict increased Ruth enberg's convictions for radical &C., tivities to three. On a former con- viction he served a sentence in the Ohio workhouse for obstructing the draft. He served IS months in Sing Sing prison before he was released pending retrial on conviction of hay ing written the manifesto that divided the socialist party.
 Ruthenberg's defense was that he attended the Bridgman convention for the sole purpose of presenting and advocating the adoption of plan legalizing the communist party, form ing 1t into the workers party of which he is executive secretary.
 Ruthenberg is a native born Amer ican of German parents.

 She took great pains to shoo Cuffy out of his fathers sight. But If Cuffy was out of the den, his father was sure to call for him. And when he came his father would stare at him and wrinkle his forehead, and shake his head now and then.

 It is remarkable how many cases have been reported similar to this one. Many mothers are left in a weakened and rundown condition after the birth of the child. and for such mothers the care of the baby is well-nigh impossible. Not only is it hard for the mother. but the child itself will indirectly suffer.
 Lydia B. Pinkham's Vegetable Con- pound is an excellent tonic for the mother at this time. It is prepared from medicinal roots and herbs, and does not contain any harmful drugs. It can be taken in safety by the nursing mother.

Under the present law a list
price Of $500 is the highest that
will permit minimum tax Of
$l2. Under the new law $435 is
the highest list price that will
allow a minimum Of S12. This
viii result in change of classif-
cation for 1924 so that many cars
that have carried the "A" number
plates this year will next year
carry "B" plates.
Under the new law, the 1924
tax will be based on the factory
list price in effect November /.
1923 for all corresponding models
similar to those still being manu-
featured. Through this change
on account of the 1879 deprecia-
ton allowed for each Of the first
seven years Of the motor vehicle
life. there will be a gradual de-
crease corresponding with the
age of the car. The effect Is
well illustrated in the following

farmers have every right to ex-
pect a reduction. The farmer
is not concerned with the reasons
for the high freight tariffs.
He knows that he has to foot
the bill and he knows that in
creases were placed upon his
shoulders without consulting
him. Now, with the war period
passed and the farm price level
far below the peak, he expects
relief. The problem of ways
and means is one that must be
solved by the same factors that
brought about the increases"
