 The whole conception of the farmer is wrong" says Ford. He is out of date, Cows, pigs, and chickens soon will not be needed in the barnyard, the man known as America's first billionaire predicts. "Dietetics are being studied by my scientists along this line" he said. Here. let me show you" MT. Ford said to Horace V. Wilkins, who ob- tained the interview while MT.

BEGINS LIFE TERM
 ON HUNGER STRIKE
Halen Has Not Eaten Food in Four Days--- May Appeal

Portland, Me. Feb. IA LF-Ben- jamin H. Turner, convicted last t'ri- day of the murder of James D, Hallen entered the fourth day Of a hunger strike today as he awaited transfer to the state prison at Thomaston where he is to serve life term.
 Turner ate his last food Friday noon just before a jury found hIm guilty. Since then he has touched only two glasses of water.
 He has slept little, His face is haggard and his eyes sunken. The man who boasted he had trailed Hal len 5000 miles from Mexico City 10 exact a penalty for the alleged swindle of SS27, and who freely own ed to the killing of a Mexican for n similar wrong, has refused to talk to jail attendants.
 The latter have reported that as he paces his cell the slayer frequent ly mutters threats to kill. They have kept meals constantly within his reach but he has rejected every thing.
 Turner was to see his attorneys to- day to determine whether an appeal would be taken to the supreme law court. In the meantime the start of his prison sentence Mas been stayed. Turner's trial revealed curious story of Mystic, Iowa, farmers son who despite university education took a laborer's job in packing plant because he did not feel he had measured up to the stand he had set for himself.
 Conscientious scruples caused him to fee army service in the war and he escaped to Mexico where he met Hallen. killed a Mexican, and was in turn, he alleged, swindled by the former while in jail. His acqulttai was followed by long period in which he worked night and day to pay his debts. Then he trailed Hal len to Falmouth Foreside where he shot him last September to keep a five year oath of revenge.
 Two alienists for the state testified Turner was sane but his counsel pleaded he was the victim Of queer" mental twist.

BRADY INTERRUPTS CHURCH SESSION
Speaks Up When Dr. Straton
 Attacks American Stage

New York, Feb. IA [P - Opin- ions expressed from the pulpit by Rev. Dr. John Roach Stratton on "cleaning up" the New York stage are so widely at variance with those of William A. Brady, thea trical producer, that the latter could not restrain himself from speaking right out in a Sunday night meeting.
 MT. Brady interrupted Dr. Straton's sermon on How to stop indecency on the stage and other criminal obscenity." by rising in his seat in the rear of Calvary Baptist church and uttering four one syllable words"
 The interruption came as Dr. Straton referred to debate he
New Britain herald., 1927-02-14

had had with MT. Brady in the same auditorium several years ago on the same topic, and quoted his adversary as Offering the excuse that he was giving the public what it wanted.'
 That man is here" announced MT. Brady loudly in excitement and umbrage.
 Not Asked to Speak
 But the sermon went on, also in a shout. Mir. Brady waited, stand ing He was not invited to speak so finally he shrugged and sat down. The clergyman roundly criticized stage and screen and ad- vocated continuance of the policy of raiding and prosecuting.
 Although denied the floor yes- terday Mir. Brady found occasion later to speak his mind. To in- quirers he said he had been aroused especially by what he in- terpreted as remarks derogatory to the stage profession and to Will H. Hays, "czar' of the movies. He also maintained Dr. Stratton had misrepresented him.
 The Calvary church episode cul- minated week which saw the raiding of three shows - Sex" "The Captive" and "The Virgin Man" and the arrest of Al persons

including actors and actresses charged with giving an exhibition in violation of public decency." The week saw also a boom in the box office receipts of all three theaters as they continued per- formances under injunction. Pro- ducers of "The Virgin Man" neNer before popular, are seeking a larger theater.
 Defendants held in the cases of "The Virgin Man" and The Cap- tive" are to be arraigned today be. fore a. magistrate while those re. sponsible for Sex" are called for tomorrow. City authorities hope for court decision that will give them power to "censor" plays by applying the penal code.

Paint blisters are the result of ap-
plying paint under improper condi-
tions,-during wet or damp weather,
or on surfaces containing moisture.
Under the action of the sun or other
causes generating heat, the moisture
is drawn out of the wood and the
paint coat is brought with it. Thus
blisters are formed which eventual
ly break and later scale and peel.
Exterior painting should always be
done in dry weather. Paint should
always be applied to surfaces that
are perfectly clean and dry.
A recent chemical development
which is of particular interest to
agriculturists is that of Semesan, a
seed, plant and soil disinfectant. 1t
may be applied in liquid or dust
form and is successful in combating
plant diseases. Semesan, Jr., appli-
ed at a dust, controls ear, root and
stalk rots, as we'll as the bacterial
wilt of field and sweet corn. Seme-
san Bel is quickly applied like
Whitewash to seed potatoes and con-
trolls their common diseases, as well
as those of other tubers or roots OF
vegetables and flowers.
The bullet-proof vest is being used
by police departments, bank mes

Jennings, of F. T. Jennings & COM
pany, wool dealers of Philadelphia,
answering Mr.. Seitz.
Mr.. Jennings pointed out that
wool shrinks so per cent in scour-
ing, while in manufacturing there
is a loss of about 20 per cent, so
that there would be just about
enough wool for one suit.
Mr.. Jennings also pointed out
that the grade of wool Mr.. SeitZ sold
would not be put in the highest
price goods, but in clothes that
were selling during the war around
$40 to $50.
These comparisons between the
cost of raw material or raw labor
and the price of the finished pro-
duct are always striking, but us
ually they do not mean anything.
For instance, from one pound of
steel, worth $500, $4,000 tiny hair
springs can be made, worth $780,
900.
A steel man, reading this, might
fly into a rage, if he were as ign ~
ant of costs as the average man on
the street.
The writer does not care to de-
fend high prices or profiteering,
but he does believe that a more
general knowledge of the factors
which constitute the cost of manu-
featuring and merchandising would
do more than any other one thing
to lessen some of the bitterness
that often exists between customer
and merchant, and employer and
employee.
