whiffietree, but the Russian, as rule.
never uses weapons. He is particu-
larlv in terror of a gun. During the
twenty years the colony has dwelt in
Ellis county no Russian has ever COM
mitted murder, no Russian woman
has ever been in court on a charge in
yolying chastity, and divorce is abSO-
lutely unknown. The men. as a rule,
are fine singers, while the women sell
dom. if ever, attempt melody.
When the bride. who usually is
bright-cneel<ed. buXom girl with
handsome features, goes to her huS
bands home. there. for her. the gale
ties of life becomes Il tradition. She
becomes the helpmate of her husband
in the sense that she does as much or
more of the hard work than he. She
goes into the field with the pillow or
harvesting machine just as her hus-
band does. and it is not infrequently
the case that she is the physical SUI
periOr of the two. Children come
rapidly in Russian family. A visit
to one of their farms discovers a yard
full Of youngsters, between whose
ages there is little visible difference,
and they commence work in the fields
at an age which would seem prepoS-
ferrous in an American. A boy of II
years has more than once been en-
trusted with the task of running a
header while his more Stalwart father
and mother handled the forks.
Why, with all this industry, the
Russians Of Ellis county should be
asking for aid is not SO easy to eX-
plain. In the first place, they have
none Of that pride of character which
will force an American to starye
rather than beg. If aid was being
distributed, the Russian worth $780,
900 would be just as yociferOus for his
share as the man who actually needed
it, so but little reliance is to be placed
on their petitions for help. In the
second place, the Russian has an I'M
cOnquerable mania for land. With
every good crop which he haryeStS he
proceeds to add to his possessions,
usually running in debt for portion
of the purchase money. They now
own nearly One-half of the titled
acreage in Ellis county, and up to the
three recent crop failures they were
rapidly croWding the American far
mer west Of the center Of the county.
They clean up everything as they ad-
vance, and continuation Of good
crops would certainly result, in the
end, in an almost unqueStiOned owner
ship of the entire county.
Whether the state board of railroad
commissioners will pay any attention
to the committee, which are coming
to submit a prayer for seed wheat, is
a question for the future, but it
would seem q sad anachroniSm that in
this year of splendid crops in Kansas,
any region should be forced to beg for
