Recognition in New Era of
Prosperity, Declares Chief.
WASHINGTON, Odt. 18 Predict
ing a "new era of activity and pros
perity" for the United States, Presi
dent Harding today promised the na
tion's farmers that they would be
among the first, in that new era, to
get "the substantial recognition"
which they jnust have.
The president's promise, coupled
with a statement that the Harding ad
ministration has already done much
for the farmer in helping restore
prices and markets, was read to a
farmers' gathering at Washington
Court House, Ohio, this afternoon by
Secretary for Agriculture Wallace.
Harding said prices for farm pro
ducts are still too low. It is appear
ent, he said, "that the farmer is not
being adequately compensated. The
Washington administration has recog
nized this condition and has done
everything in its power to restore nor
mal balance between prices and costs,
of production. A great deal has been x
accomplished and I am glad to see
that the trend is strongly toward bet
ter conditions for the farmer."
The president predicted that the
American farmers never would unite
on a program of decreased production.
such as has been tnreaienea reueuuj
by some farmer leaders.

BY STRANGE PASSENGER
ASTORIA, Ore., Oct. 18. W. N.
Ford, Astoria for hire auto driver, is
in the Astoria hospital, dangerously
wounded today as result of a strange
shooting affair which took place on
the Columbia River highway about
ten miles east of Astoria early last
night. His assailant escaped and thus
far has eluded the sheriff forces who
have been combing the country ia
the vicinity pf Svensen.
Ford is in a precarious condition
with a bullet wound through his left
groin, but was able to give the officers
a sketchy account of the affair. He
said a man whom he does not know
engaged him shortly after 6 Tuesday
evening for a trip to Svensen. The
Svensen crossroads were passed and
the car traveling slowly, the passeng
er looking for a place where he wish
ed ti alight, when the fare pulled a
gun from his pocket, pressing it
against Ford's abdomen and saying,
"We'll settle matters right now."
Despite the menacing revolver Ford
drew his own pistol, covered his as
sailant and pulled the trigger The
hammer clicked don without exploding
the cartridge. Ford's action stirred
his passenger to action. The man fir
ed two shots, one striking Ford and
the other piercing the curtain of the
car. Ford snatched the man's gun and
fired one shot, which he believes took
effect.
A man . living nearby heard the
shooting and found Ford within a few
minutes, although he saw no trace of
the other man. Deputy Sheriff Oscar
Hansen happened to pass by shortly
afterward. He wTTS" hailed and took
charge of the search while Ford was
taken to Astoria. -
