FORDSON TRACTORS CAPTURE
FIRST PRIZES

Fordson Tractors captured the
three first prizes of the day at the
forty-seventh annual Wheatland
Flowing Match, held recently at Ma
perville, H., and considered to be the
most important blowing contest held
annually in the country.
Glenn Wright, of Plano, ILL.,, rep
resenting the Yorkville Motor Com
pany, with his Fordson Tractor and
Oliver pillow won in the manufactur-
er's class, with a score of 80 points.
Walter Erickson, of Naperville,
H., driving a Fordson and GAINESVILLE
pillow, won first honors and silver
cup in the Farmers Glass, with a
score of 92ls points.
First place was captured in the
only other event, the Boys Glass. by
Forrest George, IS years old, scoring
SO " points with Fordson Tractor
and Oliver pillow.
The victory of the Fordsons was
well received by the 600 or 700 en-
thusiastic farmers who cheered the
contestants, since by far the great
majority of them were owners of
that type of tractor.
Fordson success was not a surprise
to the practical farmers who witness
ed this blowing contest. Factors
which gave the Fordson first honors
in every class were, its flexibility,
its short turning radius and ease of
steering. one wheel running in fur
row. This makes for better uni
formity and straightness of burrows,
both of which were points considered
in computing the scores.
The farmers, at the Wheatland
Contest, were over-joyed because one
of their vocation in winning scored
slightly better than the victor in the
manufacturers event with his brand
new equipment. Considerable amuse-
ment was afforded by the difficulty in
finding horses to pull the only two
walking plows" which also took a
part in the blowing exhibition.
Miss Alice Virginia Wilson, for
years teacher in the Martinsburg
public schools. died Tuesday, Septem-
Der 20, at the home of her brother.
Mr.. Frank E. Wilson, in that city.
Her death was said to have been due
to injuries sustained six years ago.
when she was struck by a motorcycle
ridden by two boys, while she was
crossing the street in Martinsburg.
She was an invalid the remainder of
her life. Miss Wilson, who was a
cousin of the late Governor E. Will
son, of this state, was born at Har-
per's Ferry. rs years ago. =

CHICAGO, Jan. SIC olo n
Charles r. Forbes and John w.
Thompson, found guilty in Federal
court of conspiracy to defraud the
Government, will carry their fight
on ito the supreme court IL neces-
sary," their attorneys have an
nounced.
Forbes was once chief Of the
Veterans Bureau and a trusted
friend Of the late President Hard
ing. while Thompson is wealthy
st. Louis and Chicago contractor.
Following the reading Of the YER
dict by the jury late yesterday, both
men were stunned. For several
minutes there was absolute silence
in the courtroom and court was
adjourned to allow them to gain
their composure.
Forbes, who insisted all through
the trial he wanted to take the
stand, but who didn't, sat at the
table facing the jury, visibly trem-
bling, his face flushed.
Thompson, gray-haired, immacu-
lately groomed, was plainly moved.
Forbes, now facing sentence OF
two years in prison or a $4,000
fine, or both, is only half through
with Government prosecutors. He
is scheduled to go on trial in Balti-
more the latter part of February
on a charge of footing the Perry
vile, Md, supply depot Of the
Veterans Bureau.
Sentence will not be passed on
the men until the motion for q
new trial is heard February 4.

fO6 Per Cent Increase
Over 1922

NEW YORK, Jan. 31.-Reflect-
ing the tremendous growth of the
radio industry in 1924. the Radio
Corporation Of America in its
annual statement Of earnings,
which is being issued to stock
holders today, reveals that Gross
income from operations last year
reached the new high record total
of $64 ,848 ,131. This represented an
increase OF $2S,453,341, or approxi-
mately 108 per cent in the amount
of business handled over 1922.
The company reported gross
sales of only 81 ,46S, 800 in 1921, a
year when few were able to visual
ize the potentialities OF the wire
less for entertainment purposes.
Although operating under heavy
expense last year in developing the
radio, the company was able to
maintain fair ratio Of increase in
net, compared with the gain in
gross. The amount carried to sur
plus on December 81, was 1885,
651, compared with $685. 1S at
the close OF 1928. In terms OF. per-
centages the company earned the
equivalent last year OF $3.50 a
share on 1855 400 shares OF COM
mon stock Of no par value, COM

 Second base, the keystone of the intield, has varied possibilities for the 1925 world series.
 Stanley Harris of Washington is one of the greatest players that has ever held down that position in the American league.
 As age starts to take its toll on Eddie Collins. premier al second base, in not only the American but the majors as well, lIarrlS is all set 10 wear his crown.
 Harris bats and throws right handed, Jio is clever, brainy and courageous. While he doesn't | loom up as the style of batsman who would some day lead the league, he is always q menace at the plate.
 A good hitter, Harris Is the poSScssor of an uncanuy eye that forces every pitcher 10 the limit. The members of the New York Giants staff can testify as to his ability 10 hit in the pinch. While not Paddock for speed, Harris gets q great break and Is rated q very good hase-runner.
 It is in the field that Harris is at his best. No chance is too daring.
