Tom, who has been in San quentin
Prison Is years for crime he did not
do. I know nothing about 1t. But l
do know that one of the Presidents
before you in the White House kept
Tom from the gallows. If President
Wilson had not investigated the case
in 1917, my boy surely would have been
hung, The men President Wilson had
look into the case found such clear
evidence of frame-up that the Presi-
dent told Gov. Stephens not to hang
my son. ,,
Then Secretary of Labor Wilson made
n further investigation and found even
more sure evidence of the frame-up.
What they found in this investigation
In printed as a Government document,
the Densmore report. Maybe you've
seen it. It shows how your college
mate, Fickert, made up lies to con-
vict my boy.
Refers to Report.
"And now two respected lawyers Of
New York City, legal experts for your
wickersham Commission, have made
another investigation with taxpayers
money. OF course they found the case
against Tom a mass Of lies
"Mr. President, I have come across
the country to the White House as my
last hope of getting Tom out of prison
before I die. I'm "a. I won't live much
longer. You can free my boy if you
want to, just as President Wilson stop
ped his hanging"
After her brief talk with Joslin, Mrs.

Senator Capper has introduced a
resolution calling for new policy in
the Foreign Affairs of this country
as regards violations of the peace
treaty. Under the Capper resolution
this Government would not accept
the legality of any situation created
by a breach of the peace treaty, nor
would it recognize any treaty
brought about by means contrary to
the Pact of Paris. It would also
automatically lay an embargo on
exports of arms, ammunitions or
articles used in war, to any country
engaged in a dispute held by the
President to have committed a
breach of the Kellogg Pact. 1t is
proposed that this should be done in
concert with other signatories of the
peace treaty. Senator Capper's re-
solution calls primarily, however,
for a conference of those govern
ments adhering to the Peace Pact to
consider these special points.

farms throughout the country reveals
that 80 per cent of the mortgaged
farms were mortgaged fora more
than half their value, as of January
1, 1881, according to. the Bureau of
A Agriculture. More than half of.Lall
firms, however, are free of mort
gage debt, ~ No.
GSixty-fourlsper cent of all farms
were free of mortgaged debt in 1928,
according to the bureaus estimates.

farms are not yet available for later

ed by their owners in 1880 were free
of mortgage debt, compared with
nearly SO per cent in 1920.

gagged farms in 1881 were mortgag-
ed up to 25 per cent of their value;

between Is and so per cent of their
value; % per cent were mortgaged
for between so and rs per cent of

behoves all apple growers
who have used oil in the de-

who omitted this spray alto
gether to apply the pre-blos-
som apple scab spray immedi-
ately, and those who have used
fungicide should spray again
when the cluster buds are ex-
posed. Subsequent spraying
should be- regulated by the de-
velopment of the tree and
weather conditions. Spore dis
charges will occur with every

Urges Courtesy On Highways

/ A plea for highway courtesy is
made by William j. Lackey, presi-
dent of the Delaware Automobile
Association, in reference to the
attitude OF drivers on through high
ways to motorists entering arterial
roads.
This" said Mr.. Lackey, ''is par
tlcularly true since the State and
various municipalities have erected
through-traffic stop signs. Motor
lists ON main highways appear to take
this as an indication that thier for
ward progress must not be impedei
by any vehicle entering from a side
street or less important road.
while the vehicle code makes it
imperative for motorists on side
streets to stop before entering high
ways garded with stop signs, it did
not intend that such motorists should
be kept waiting indefinitely while
those on the main highways dashed
by at express train speed.
but aside from questions of right
OF way, a sense of fair play die
tates that the motorists on the side
streets be given opportunity to enter
the main traffic stream without en-
dangering himself and other occu-
pants of his car. A momentray
slowing down often will suffice to
permit his entry without danger.
1T is our belief, based on study
OF traffic accident reports, that lack
OF courtesy is responsible for many
crashes. Skilled drivers frequently
are offenders in this respect"

The Rockne Six has made its for
NAL debut in Rising Sun, at the sales
rooms of Scott Wilson and Son.
An array of glistening models,
respondent in artistic aerodynamic
styling and possessed of mechanical
features never before built into cars
of its price class is on display.
The Rockne Six is produced in
two lines, the ''65" and the "75".
All models are equipped with i'm
proved free. wheeling in all forward
speeds plus the latest development
in full synchronized shifting, ultra
quiet in all speeds and especially
advantageous when the breaking
power of the engine is preferred to
the economy of free wheeling.
All motors are cushioned in live
rubber at all four points of suspen-
sion.
Generous body insulation against
dirt, moisture and outside tempera-
lures is provided on all models.
Switch-key starting, standard
equipment in all models, simultane-
ously turns on the ignition and starts
the engine. If the driver accidental
ly stalls his engine, switch key start
ing automatically starts it again.
Artistically steamlined bodies, de-
veloped by famous designer, pre-
dict tomorrow's motoring fashions
and provide an abundance of room
unprecedented in cars selling for less
than 500. Many other desirable
features such as glass-smooth, cleo
tro-plated pistons; quadruply-weight-
ed crankshafts; easy pressure, solid
gripping breaks; finger-tip steering,
silent carburetion; selfadjusting
shackles and hydraulic shock absor-
bers, are also provided in this new
motor car.

inch wheelbase and sc horsepower
six cylinder motor that delivers a
smooth 70 miles an hour. 1t has A.
point cushioned power, a Rockne
engineering advancement which pro-
vides freedom from vibration con-
sidered remarkable and is further
aided by an unusual mounting of all
pedals on the frame of the chassis,
instead of conventional transmission
anchoring.
