ecutive committee within five days

cy, and it shall be the duty of the

qualified under the law to fill the va
cancy, and the person so named by

DELENDA EsT-JUNIPERUs
VIRGINIANA.

1t takes my breath away-to hear
them say:
"The cedars must--all these--be cut
away.
The buds Of May
As if they would outlaw, or thorny
spray,
Or in dumb spite. stars on the grass
-or April birds at play.
The lordly Cedars: these that from
old time
Have lured the cedarlbirds. with ber-
ries blue.
Have kept away the cold. and frosty
rime.
Have lent majestic glory to the view.
Virginia's cedars: honorable. stark,
Stalwart as that old race
That owned these meadows once. or
ere the dark
Urge of an alien race
Began the hill and forest to deface.
Go, stately Cedars: Hurry We from
hence:
Stay not nor cry:
What though your parting bring the
hordes immense
Buzzards and kites. the crows Of
opulence
To blight the morning sky?
We will not grieve, although your
pointed line
Fade from the sunset-gold--
For we who grieve. like oak and
mountain pine
With you-are growing old.
And when the laundering foods
sweep down the vale
Or frozen gales descend
Not we shall blame that folly which
the fail
In deathlv curve bend:
For | opine =. we shall be far
from where
The 0chard Valleys glow
Burns UP to heaven, and the gaunt
hillsides stare
Athwart each barren row,
Through Summers fiery drought
or Winters icy foe.

FORD TOTAL PRODUCTION FOR
1923

The Ford Motor Company. in all
its divisions, produced a total of o.
lob, 1888, cars. trucks, tractors and
airplanes during 1925, according to
ilgures just given out at the general
offices of the Ford Motor Company
Exclusive of airplanes, which is a
new industry with the company. this
is an increase of 20,033 automotive
units over 1924.
In the production of Ford cars and
trucks during the year, domestic
plants in the United States assembl-
ed 1,775, 245. Foreign plants of the
company produced 1885, cars and
trucks and the output of the Ford
Motor Company of Canada, Ltd. to-
tailed 1929. Fordson tractor pro-
duction was 104.168 and the Lincoln
division of the company produced
during the year total of 8,415 Lin
coin cars. In the newest division of
the company, the airplane factory,
the output was ten all-metal planes
since the factory was acquired by the
Company on August 1, 1925.
The remarkable output of Ford
cars and trucks was reached in spite
of the fact that for a period of more
than thirty days during August and
September domestic production was
almost negligible due to the intro
duetion of the improved types. The
same condition prevailed later on in
the foreign assembly plants as the
change to the improved ears were
made in these places, some of which
are just now getting into appreciable
production with the improved types

MOVIE CENSORSHIP

LAS organized labor has repeatedly
declared against the censorship of
motion pictures, there will be little
sympathy felt in trade union ranks
for the bill for federal censorship of
movies" introduced in congress by
Representative Upshaw, of Georgia.
says BY The Way of the International
Labor News Service.
There are many bad pictures-bad
from the standpoint that it is wicked
waste of time of thoughtful or cul-
tured persons to go to see them.
There are some that are bad from
the viewpoint of good taste. From
the moral point there is a geograph-
ical phase that enters.
"There are Puritans in every local
ity eager to seize the reins of cen
sorship. The country has long out
grown the immortality Of Puritans and
needs no more Of that sort of thing,
There are different views of things
in Skowhegan, Schenectady, Sheyboy-
gan and Schiedeck. Naturally there
would be, widely spread as Maine and
California, New York and Michigan
Censorship presupposes morality
and wisdom that in reality is presump-
tiousness and hypocrisy.

thy word and thine alone must be
right"

with the small wages and gunma1

went back to work are sick of it and
are now seeking the protection o1

"At present." Sir Henry said, 1.-THE
European nations are in danger of

That fear of other nations and the
piling up of armaments led to the war

EMPLOYERS OF
LABOR
In Illinois Favor Dry Law
Modification

BY International Labor News Service.
Chicago.--An overwhelming num-
ber of Illinois manufacturers and
other employers of industrial labor
have indicated that they are against
a continuance of prohibition. They
gave expression to their views
through poll taken by the Asso-
citation Opposed to Prohibition.
This question was put to the manu-
facturers:
I'm your opinion would modifica-
tion of the Volstead act to permit the
manufacture and sale of 2% per cent
beer in original packages (no saloons
improve present conditions and Sc
cure greater respect for all laws ?"
Only 26 of the first 1850 manufac-
turers to reply were non-committal
The others stood: 1,427 for modifica-
ton as proposed and 397 agains.
Eighty-five per cent of the Chicag
employers who replied favored modifi
cation and the downstate ratio was
to L.
