LONDON. Nov. 5.-The Mahatma
M. K. Gandhi, leader of midas mil
lions in their passive fight against
Great Britain for independence, was
received by the king and queen at
a Buckingham Palace tea party to-

who wore the conventional formal
morning garb, and Indian potentates
in turbans and western clothes.
Gandhi, sitting between his sec
rotary, Mahadeo Desai, and Mrs.
Sarojini Naidu, one of his ardent
supporters, entered the gates of
Buckingham Palace in the back seat
of a small salon car. He was bare
headed and wore the same sandals
he had on when he started his IA

eighteen months ago, for which he
was imprisoned.
He had on similar although
slightly more voluminous loin cloth

GET-RICH-QUICK'
GENIUS HAS HIS
PAROLE SPIKED
Jack Bernstein to Serve
2 to 14-Year Term for
ENLIGHTENMENT.

Shade of that master OF high
finance, the fabulous "Qet-Rich-
Quick Wallingford," walked in the
Marion criminal court late Wednes-
day, when the man Of an alleged
dozen aliases and a million ideas,
Jack Bernstein, had his suspended
sentence Of two TO fourteen ye---s
revoked by Judge Frank Baker.
Testimony Of a score Of witnesses
brought from all parts Of the state
indicated to Judge Baker that Bern
stein could give cards and spades"
to the easy-wealth maestro and
still beat him
The parole revocation hearing was
held as result Of a grand jury
indictment charging that Bernstein
embezzled $500 from the Com
mercial Auctioneers, Inc, of which
he had been president.
Sentence Enforceable
Because the suspended sentence
passed on him in January, 1890, of
two TO fourteen years, still was en-
forceable, Judge Baker ordered the
hearing
-Four fruit growers from Decker,
Ind, testified that Bernstein, repre-
senting himself to be buyer for the
Kroger Grocery and Baking Com
pany, had ordered hundreds of
bushels and railroad carloads of
peaches shipped over the country.
Another said that upon Bern
STEMS unguaranteed order, he had
shipped carload Of watermelons to
one point, and learned afterward
that it had been diverted to another
city.
Knew Nothing
what did you know about this
Bernstein to cause you to send the
carloads on his say-so?" Judge
Baker asked.
"Oh, nothing" was the answer.
He just came in and introduced
himself, and when I looked at him
sort Of doubtfully he said: "Oh, just
call me jacket
Other witnesses charged that
Bernstein, while auctioning off
fur stock in FIT. Wayne, had obtained
some silver fox furs for his wife
Still another man from Ft. Wayne
asserted Bernstein had pocketed the
proceeds from a furniture auction.
Here in Indianapolis he had OBJ
tanned car, traded it in for a big
ger one and his firm did not know
of his deals, witnesses said.
Collected for Ads
Testimony disclosed that he COL
lected money for purported auction
sale advertisements which never
were printed.
Judge Baker read from the rec
ord to show that Bernstein was
known and wanted in Milwaukee,
Kansas City and other cities as
Tommy Burns, John Kelley Jack
Silberlein and a score of other
names.
Bernstein denied the charges and
declared that he was the victim of
a conspiracy on the part of a for
mer partner, Abe Greenwald.
Ever since my conviction a year
ago have been pursued by every
one" he said.
"Give them my pound of flesh"
he cried to Baker.

Firestone has Always maintained that
he would not be SO happy if a remind
er Of his earlier days was not constant
ly before his eyes.
The name Harbel Manor Is derived
from combination of the first names
of Mr.. and Mrs. Firestone, Mrs. Fire
stones name being Idabelle. The farm
part of the estate contains numerous
buildings which have been constructed
along the most approved lines for the
housing Of cattle. The latest and most
efficient equipment for sanitation has
been installed. At times there have
been as many as 100 head of cattle on
the grounds, including Side Hill Orms-
by Segris, a Holstein COW, an especially
fine specimen of the breed. In one
day, on April II, 1880, she produced
1893 pounds of milk, approximately
rs quarts. In seven days during that
month she produced 1908 pounds Of
milk and in thirty days 4115.3, a world
record for nine-year-old. AS five
year-old she was the United States
champion for dairy COWS of all ages.
Higher Price for Quality Milk
Mr.. Firestone regards himself as too
good farmer to operate an enterprise
Of this kind strictly for fun. He makes
this city-situated farm pay for itself.
1t has taken long time to lift 1t to
the point where it is self-sustaining,
but the quality of milk produced there
has made that possible. One hundred
and fifty or more families living in the
West Hill district are Mr.. Firestone's
customers. The milk sells at higher
price than that distributed through the
regular channels, but it's richness in
butter fat content and it's purity Gre
ate big demand for it. The milk
averages 4 per cent butter fat, against
3.5 of the standard quality
1t has been Mr.. Firestone's aim to
improve the breed of the cattle on his
two farms, as might any ambitious
farmer, rather than to expend huge
sums Of money in the purchase Of
blooded stock only to show. With this
in mind he has built slowly, hoping
that the Capitalization of his efforts

Trip Of Tont and La Sale
It was in 1878 that Tonti sailed with
La Sale from La Rochelle-and Ar
kansas Post lay years and triumphs
and vicissitudes ahead-Canada, the
lakes, weary portages, battles with
snow and hunger and hostile Indians.
But on morning in February, 1882,
they started down the Mississippi,
their embark canoes outrunning the
floating ice. The Missouri, the Ohio,
flooded country. The warm South
where peach trees were in bloom.
In the peach-tree country they
paused among friendly Indians, and in
their turn partook Of the delicacies of
the land generously pressed upon them
-persimmon paste and drink made
with crushed raisins. La Sale planted
the Kings arms in the public square
of an Arkansas village and gave to
Tonti-acording to a memoir of Ton
tps-a seignory on the Arkansas River.

discoverer, and for Tonti a vigil upon
that Rock in Illinois upon which he and
his leader had established the base OF

Tonti's watch in the first year Of La
Sales absence was complicated by the
enmity of new Governor at Quebec,
the daily society Of usurping COM
mandant at the Rock and, in time, by
Iroquois attack. The first news he had
Of La Sale was reassuring: Tonti was
restored to his command and La Sale
himself had started from France with
a fleet Of ships to found colony at the
mouth of their river. But the following

would be herd of cattle which would
be worthy of competing against the
best product of other breeders. His
tremendous success at shows reveals
how that ambition has been realized.
Sanitation Important
Rigid sanitary measures are in force.
The COWS are given frequent health
tests of all kinds. Before each milking
the farm hands are required to wash
their hands thoroughly and to don white
duck suits. Bacteria multiply rapidly
in milk as it is taken warm from the
cow. To prevent that, the milk Is
rushed Immediately to cooling ma
chine, where it's temperature is reduced
to between forty and fifty degrees, at
which point it reaches an excellent
state of preservation. It is then
poured into cool bottles and kept at
the right temperature until delivered
by the Firestone milk truck. There
is no pasteurization Of the milk. The
careful handling makes that unneces.
sary.
1t is on the other farm, located at
Columbiana, sixty miles from Akron,
where Mr.. Firestone gets down to his
real dirt farming. Each year he
spends much time there and derives
the keenest Of pleasure from operating
the farm machines and performing the
other duties Of the daily routine. This
tract includes part of the original $40
acre farm owned by Nicholas Fire
stone, an ancestor, and also takes in
the ia acre farm owned by Mr.. Fire
stones father. The grant by which
Nicholas Firestone obtained his section
in 1904 bears the signature of Thomas
Jefferson. The place is known as "The
Old Homestead"
Mr.. Firestone has always been zeal
GUS in preserving the natural beauty
Of "The Old Homestead" There is
large place in his heart for the old
dwelling in which he was born and the
memories it brings Of his father and
mother. "The Old Homestead" as the
name signifies, is still home to him,
even in this day when his sphere is
much larger than it was in his boy
hood.

TYV lARVEY .. FlRESTONE, tire
IH manufacturer and pioneer of
6HREN the rubber industry, has
&N never forgotten that he began
life as farmer boy. 1t is not the Gus
tomary recreations of men of great
wealth which interest him-not cruis-
ing about the world aboard a palatial
yacht, not collecting treasures Of the
art world. Mr.. Firestone likes dirt
farming and enjoys talking about it.
He catches the instinct from his late
father, whom he describes as not only
mighty good farmer, but just about
the best business man he has ever
known. His own life has been modelled
pretty much on the precepts of child
hood.
1t is to farming that Mr.. Firestone
turns for genuine relaxation from the
cares and responsibilities of business
life He has two farms, one of 600
acres at Columbiana, Ohio, and the
other adjacent to his residence within
the city limits Of Akron, where the
huge Firestone rubber plants are To-
nounced models of scientific operation.
1t has taken many years of careful
development to bring them to their
present state Of perfection. On them
are some of the finest blooded stock in
the country.

The Akron farm has novel If not

Harbel Manor, the magnificent Fire

Portage Country Club on one side and
adjoin the properties of the city's best

known, it is one of the exceedingly
few model farms which have a setting
of exactly that nature-in the heart of
city's exclusive residential section.
In sense it's location makes it the
meeting place between the homely
spirit of the American farm and the
more modern trend of living. Mr..

H ISPATCHES from Fayetteville

park the site of the first settlement
in what is now the State of Arkansas.
There, near the confluence of the Ar
kansas with the Mississippi River, was
the capital of the Arkansas Territory
when the United States was pushing
its frontiers west into Indian country.
But Arkansas Post was making Amer
lean history long before there was an
Arkansas Territory-long, even before
there was a United States, and it's
founding was incident to a drama that
led to the white mans civilization in
the Mississippi Va1ley-to tragedy and
death and empire.
The Chevalier Henri de Tonti was it's
founder. He had led a life of adventure.
In the Sicilian wars he had lost hand,
and then, when another young ad-
venturer presented himself at the court
of King Louis with plan for exploring
to its mouth New World river called
Mississippi, he had joined forces with
La Sale.
The word Arkansas was known even
then in the councils of Versailles. For
the Jesuit Father Marquette, with
Joliet, the son of a Canadian wagon
maker, had lately discovered the upper
waters of the Mississippi and journey
ed down the river as far as the country
of the Arkansas Indians, where they
were received with hospitality ex-
pressed in an abundance of sagamite
and corn on the cob and roasted dog.
But where the river emptied was even
yet uncertain. De Soto's men a CEN
fury and a quarter earlier had built,
somewhere upon the river De Soto had
discovered, craft by which they found
their way to the Gulf of Mexico. But
were the rivers Of Marquette and De
Soto one? And If they were. did it lead

Beaujeu, the captain of the fleet, had
returned to France with one of the
three ships; another ship had been
wrecked, and La Sale had been at
tackled by Indians after landing on the
Gulf Coast.
With twenty-five French and ten In
dams, Tonti set off from the Rock, and
in the Spring, four years after his first
journey down the river, came to the
mouth Of the Mississippi. The column
bearing the Kings arms had been
washed away. No one was there.
Tonti turned sorrowfully north on
the river again. At the Arkansas some
make settlement on that river seign-
DRY earlier granted to him by La Sale.
TOnti consented and when he resumed
his journey up river six men remained
behind to "build house surrounded
by stakes"
A Weary Company
A little more than year later there
came plodding up through the woods
OF the Southwest a weary little com
pany: La Sales brother, the Able
Jean Cavelier; their boy nephew; a
Franciscan friar, and three Others
They stopped on the bank Of the Ar
kansas. In the river before them
came and went canoes bearing savages
tattooed and painted and wearing
headdresses Of swanfeathers or buffalo
horns. But on the other side stood a
great cross and, close beside 1t, a
house built after the French fashion:
cedar logs laid one upon the other,
rounded at the corners and rooted
with good cedar-bark thatch. And
out OF the door of the house came two
men, clothed, who at sight Of the new
corners over the river fired off muskets
in eager salute.
So 1t was in the haven Of Tontis
house, and to Tonti's men weeping in
sympathy, that the tale of La Sales
ruined hopes and wilderness death
was first told.
