WASHINGTON, Oct. 16-tRENu-
merous defense motions for a mis-
trial or postponement of the mass
sedition trial until after the cleo
ton, based on President Roose-

Silver Shirts in America, the Black
Shirts in Italy and the B W n
Shirts in Germany, were turned
down in U. S. District court today.
Chief Justice Edward c. Eicher
at the same time announced that
contempt action will be taken be-
fore another judge, at the conclus-
ion of the present case, against
Albert w. billing, a defense at
torney, for what the court called
the 'scurrilous and contemptuous
content of Diling's written request
that the mistrial and potponement
motions be heard by another judge.
William Dudley Policy, one of
the 26 defendants, founded n d
formerly led the Silver Shirts. Dill
ing is counsel for his former wife,
Mrs. Elizabeth billing, another de-
fendant.
President Roosevelt, asserting in
a campaign speech that his op-
ponents had resorted to fear pro-
paganda," said similar methods
had been used by the henchmen
Ct Mussolini and Hitler, and in
this country by 1.-THE Silver Shirts
and others on the lunatic fringe"

SHARP UP-TURN IN
REAL ESTATE and
BUSINESS DEALS

Business deals are on the upswing

the volume of buying and selling of
both commercial and residential prop
critics at prices which reflect conf

dustrial and commercial center.
Activity which for the past six

ume of buying and selling not only be-
tokens present activity but plans for
future busiess expansion.
A number of deals which have been
pending closed during the last week,
while others are still in the making
with good prospects of consumation.
Current sales of properties in the
residential district include the pur-
chase of the L. L. Clymer property on

CORN CUTTING ON
BLUFFTON DISTRICT
FARMS UNDER WAY
Stand is Spotty; Average Yield
of 40 Bushels Per Acre is
Expected.
Youths Helping With Work i'm
Cornfields During Last Week
of Vacation.

Farmers in the Bluffton district
started this week cutting of spotty
corn crop ranging all the way from
stands barely worth harvesting to
other fields giving promise of q
normal yield.
Not in recent years has the corn
crop in this section been so widely
different in yield. This, it is point
ed out, largely reflects those sections
which received rainfall at critical
times during the growing period.
The stand as a whole has ma
tured early this year as a result of
the unusually hot and dry weather
which seriously cut yields. On the
other hand the early maturity has
eliminated almost entirely the dam
ger of frost damage.
40 BUsHEL AVERAGE, ESTIMATE
Because of the uneven stands in
this district, farmers are giving
widely divergent estimates as to the
corn yield. However, a composite
opinion indicates that the average
yield this year will be about 40
bushels per acre, a decrease of ap-
proximately forty per cent from the
ten year average.
Due to shorter stands, generally,
the acreage required to fill silos will
be materially larger than last year
when abundant rainfall resulted in
a uniformly tall stand thruout the
district.
Offsetting the smaller quantity,
however, feeding quality of the fod-
der is said to be unusually good
which is a boon to livestock feeders
who have been gravely concerned
over prospects of feed shortage
this winter.

is reported, will request excuses
from school at the opening of the
fall term to assist in work at home.
