Almost too weak to stand up, still
marked with bruises from the bat

Neil, 26-year-old seaman, goes to
trial today before the Grand Jury
in Criminal Courts Building, charged
with "felonious assault" on a cop.
Mcneil marched in an unemployed
demonstration before the New York
city hall a month ago. Police set
on him like fiends and slugged him
unconscious. He was taken to Bel
levue Hospital, and even while he
lay in bed, was guarded by police.
When Mcneil recovered enough
to be taken out of the hospital by
the International Labor Defense, the
cops threw him under $4,000 bail,
raising the bail by $4,000, charging
him with "felonious assault"

SHRINKACE|
In FARMING is
SHOWN BY CENSUS.

Washington-FP - Collapse of
the farming industry in three
great states, whose past leader
ship in American agriculture has
been undisputed, is shown by the
new census figures TO be proceed
ing rapidly. The number of farms
in Pennsylvania decreased 1920
in the period 1925-1930, and it
went down 1890 in the decade
192O-193O. Illinois lost $40 of
its total number of farms between
1920-1930, the loss in the years
1925-193O being 1870. Wisconsin
registered a decrease of $3.50 in
the number of its farms between
1920 and 1880, but lost $50 be-
tween 1925 and 1880.
A farm, as defined in the cen
sus rules, included all the land
which is directly farmed by one
person, either by his own labor or
with the assistance of members of
his household, or hired employees.
When a landowner has one OF
more tenants, renters, troopers OF
managers, the land operated by
each is considered farm. Any
tract of land of less than 3 acres
used for agricultural purposes
which produced products to the
value of $3.50 in the preceding cal
endar year is classed as a farm.
Under this definition there dis

the first five years after 1920, an
then a rapid decline. Nine of he
counties showed a very slight gal
in their number of farms, while 6
showed losses, after 1925.

Road Levy and County
Agent to be Voted on
In Roosevelt County

Froid.-At the regular meeting
of the board of county commits
sioners held this month in addi-
ton to the usual grist of business
transacted two matters of much
importance came up for considera-
ton, one of which was a 10 mill
levy for road purposes. The COM
missioners decided to present this
matters to the voters at the gener-
al election next November. The
commissioners are constantly be-
ing asked for more and better
roads to various parts of the coun-
ty and unless a levy is voted it
will be impossible to garry out any
road program in 1881.
The other matter referred to is
whether or not Roosevelt will con-
tinue to have a county agent. This
was also decided by the commits
sioners to be submitted to the vot-
lers at the November election.

and then asked Pat who sent him
out. Pat very tartly told Bob that
he had come to collect on crop
mortgage. Pollok Bob ordered Pat
to move out and off the place and
that he would tend to the grain.
Pat hesitated and bowed his neck,
and advanced on Bob in a belicose
manner. Bob advanced to the fray
