101 GRADUATE WITHOUT
ADDRESS AT STAUNTON
Academy's Largest Glass Manifests
Appreciation Of Change in
Annual Program.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

opeCldA Olspdtcn 10 Lie obdr.
STAUNTON, Va, June TO-
Staunton Military Academy's sixty
seventh session closed yesterday. Col
Thomas II. Russell was unable to
be present, being at Hampden- Sidney
College, where he was presented with
the doctor of laws degree.
One hundred and one cadets re-.
ceived diplomas, the largest class in
the history of the school, which has
been designated by the War De-
partment one of the Is honor schools
of it's class in the United States.
In preparing its final program, it
was decided to omit the commence
ment address. One reason was that
even without it the last days pro-
gram was full. Another reason was
that the school desired to see if
students really missed the final
speech. 1t was apparent that they
rather appreciated the change.
Two students and one alumnus re-
ceived the schools highest honor,
the Kable Legion of Honor medal
The alumnus was Capt. Charles K.
Bryant of New York City, honored
because of his conspicuous service
overseas during the World War and
for meritorious service on the staff
of Comdr. Richard Evelyn Byrd on
the latter's flight to the North Pole.
Bryant accompanied Byrd's party
from Spitzenberg, from which point
Byrd and Bennett made the success

STATIC IN POLITICS
Suffers From Excess, Gov
ernor Tells National EIeC-
trio Light Association.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
ATLANTIC CITY, N. j., June 10
Gov. Albert G. Ritchie of Maryland
told delegates to the annual conven-
ton of the National Electric Light
Association today that politics "suf-
fers from an excess of static"
He urged that the industry join
with other branches of business in
visualizing the problems of govern1
ment as essentially its own, so that
the country may hope for the dawn
of a political era in which business
will write for itself and share in writ
ing for mankind a new charter of
safety and sanity and of liberty and
human rights
How to transform heat into light
is more difficult in politics than it is
in electricity" he said, 'but light
rather than heat is what is needed"
Needs Business Principles.
Declaring that American politics
needed those qualities which enabled
American industry to force to the
front, Gov. Ritchie said:
There is no more important field
than that of municipal government.
Whether our great experiment in rep
resentative government-in govern
ment of the people by the peoples
to succeed or fail, may largely depend
on how we shape and govern these
immense municipal corporations which
come into being.
Business deludes itself if it thinks
it has to do only with economic laws
and principles, and that politics is
governed by some mysterious laws
or principles that are different than
it's own.
Says Illusion Is Encouraged.
Politicians, Of course, encourage
that Illusion. In politics we are
strong for formulas, or phrases, for
the potency Of slogan, for eternal
principles" the teachings Of fathers
and what not, but in the last analysis
governments are merely mortal men
in power and the laws and functions
Of government are shaped like those
Of business. by experience and by
practical business wisdom and horse
sense of those who sit in power.
There is nothing mysterious In
politics except sometimes the fiub
dubbery Of politicians"

DETROIT, February 9.-Henry Ford

takes farmers a year to do in produc-

20 days through application of eff

ticle by Theodore Price, appearing in
today's issue of Commerce and
Finance.
The experiment will be conducted on
a huge farm which the automobile
manufacturer has purchased near
Dearborn, Mich. and the test will be
open to public observation. Ford pur.
poses to prove the soundness of his
theory of industrialiZation of farming,
the article states, by application of
labor-saVing machinery, organization
and specialization,
His estimate" Price writes, would
allow two days for the blowing and
narrowing that must be done before
planting, one day. for the planting it.
self, five days for cultivating during
growth and two days for harvesting
and thrashing, which can now be
done simultaneously by a machine
which cuts, thrashes and bags the
wheat as it is drawn through the field
by a tractor. The total of time thus
allocated would be 10 days, which is
only half of Mr.. Fords estimate, and
would leave another 10 days for ditch
ing, fencing, distribution of fertilizer
and doing any other work fairly
chargeable to the cost of producing a
particular crop.

FORD PLANS TO PROVE VALUE
OF INDUSTRIALIZATION ON FARM
Theory That Is to 20 Days Is Enough to
Do Work to Produce Crop Will Be
Tested in Michigan.

when thus analysed. the claim
that 20 days is all the time that need
be spent in raising and harvesting
most of our staple crops does not
seem preposterous, but as 1 pointed
out to Mr.. Ford, it presupposes the
use of such machinery and the labor
of many hands that might not be OBJ
tainable if they were only to be en-
ployed for a few days at time and
not more than 20 days altogether.
Cites Organization Possibilities.
Gin answer he said that those who
were willing to pay good wages could
easily be so organized that a con-
tinuous employment for the labor en-
gagged in it would be provided.
His conception, as / grasped it,
was that agricultural contractors who
had the necessary men and machinery
could go from farm to farm and do
the work that has to be done in a
few days at a cost that would be
much less than the value of the time
the farmer now devotes to it.
obviously he did not mean that
his prosposal was applicable to dairy
farming or for the raising of live
stock"
Ford is quoted as saying that if
costs of agricultural production are
to be reduced so that the farmer can
make a profit, the farmer will soon
have a surplus unless consumption
can be increased. This he thinks
could be brought about by sharing
the economies effected with the public.

NEWSPAPERS HELD
PUBLIC NECESSITY
New York Publisher Says
Week Without News Would
/ Amount to Catastrophe.
~ fha Assnciated Press.


NEW YORK, February "A day
without a newspaper would be an in
convenience and a week without
newspaper would be a catastrophe,
Fred A. Walker of the New York
Telegram, chairman of the Publishers
Association of New York City, told the
Broadway Association at luncheon to-
day.
Whatever happens, the public looks
first to the newspapers for informa-
ton, and this is the greatest tribute
that can be paid to the truthfulnesS
and accuracy of the daily press, he
said.
Untruthful Reflections Cited.
"Some people unkindly and I'M
truthfully cast reflections on the de-
pendability of the news as it is
printed, yet those who have TO do
with the making of the newspapers
and who have a real acquaintance
with the detail of news gathering and
distribution know that there is no
activity of the human race in which
speed and quantity are factors that
is so accurately performed as the col
lecting Of the worlds news and it's
distribution through newspaper col
umnS."
The distribution of the daily news
paper is the most efficient single OPP
Grafton of which the world has any
record, he said. IF all the necessities
of life were as efficiently and economi-
cally handled as are the newspapers
the cost Of living might easily be re-
duced so per cent.
Worlds Eyes, Ears and Mouth.
1.-THE newspapers are the eyes, the
ears and the mouth of the world.
They perform the functions of seeing,
hearing and telling for "a hours Of
every day in the year. Upon the
publicity afforded by the newspapers
depends the prosperity of a thousand
different forms of activity and the re-
turn on millions of dollars invested.
Indescribable chaos would result if
the neWspa pers were suspended.
THE Associated Press puts at your
disposal the worldwide news-gather-
ing activities Of what is in many ways
the greatest and most complex organi-
Zation the world has ever known.
Eighty thousand men, located in every
part of the inhabited world, are watch
ing with never-ending vigilance for
