RuSSlA'S REAL YELLOW PERIL
Drifting Sands Make Desert OF LOU
Acres Of Fertile Farm Lands
Every Year.

The great enemy comes from the
east. Our yellow peril does not ap-
pear In human shape. Ii comes In
much more dangerous and insinuating
form than Mongol invasion. Slowly
but surely II Is advancing upon us and
it's vanguard has already reached the
gates of Kieff."
Thus spoke some years ago, Vladl-
mir Solovitch, the well-known Russian
scientist, who foresaw the danger to
Russian agriculture OF the drifting
masses OF sand which are being stead
lily blown across some of the most
fertile parts OF Southern Russia.
The urgent nature OF the danger is
once more emphasized by General
Mistchenko, the commandments
of the Don Cossacks, who has made
a report to the St Petersburg govern
ment In which he points out that
every year 1000 square miles OF fertile
land In the Don Province and loo
square miles in the government OF
Astrakhan are being swallowed up by
the invader and rendered unht Tor
cultivation.
During the past year, the drifting
masses have done the greatest damage
within living memory. One large agri-
cultural colony in the Don region has
had to emigrate in a westward direc'
ton for the fourth time In fifty years

GOOD PUZZLE TO WORK OUT

ton: What are we to do indoors?"
Instead of bemoaning the Indictment

the following problem:
Divide the number Of Jobs camels

Chaldeans by the number OF men sent

Subtract from the sum the number of
Just persons who could have saved

number of Philistines that Samson
slew with the ASS jawbone. Sub
tract the number of Solomon's songs;
multiply by the number Of days dur

ONE of our most valued local
exchanges advises the women
not to begin sharpening their
pencils with the expectation
that they will be permitted to
vote at the spring election to be
held on the first Monday IN
April next, for the alleged rea-
son that, even if the suffrage
amendment is embodied in the
constitution, as it probably is,
they will not be allowed to vote
before the spring of 1914. Our
contemporary gravely states
that the adoption of the amend
ment merely authorizes the
legislature to enact a law giving
the woman the right Of franchise
and until such legislation has
been enacted they will not be
permitted to vote. This may be
good enough newspaper law, "
but it is not the law of the courts
and the people. The constitu
ton is the supreme law of the
courts and the people. The
constitution is the supreme law
of the state and is above all the
statute laws that may be enacted
by the legislature. The section
amended by the recent vote OF
the electors. being section one
of article three, confined the
right of suffrage to the male
inhabitants of the state. The
amendment simply strikes ou'
the word "male' and wherever
the word she" occurs in the
original section, the amended
section reads che or she" Il

Gwinn Henry Cannot Leave
College for Preliminary
Races.

NEW YORK, Jan. I.-In a letter to a
local friend Gwinn Henry, the sensa-
tional Splinter, who halls from Eden,
Tex. discloses the startling news that
he will very likely be unable to partici-
pate in the Olympic tryouts next June
Henry is attending college at Blackwell,
Okla, and he states that he will be
unable to leave that place before June
at the earliest. In that event he will
almost certainly miss the tryouts, which
will be held during the first few days
of June.
Henry is all cut up over the outlook,
and ventures the suggestion that the
Olympic comittee might consider him
as candidate on account of his work
he won the national (senior) lOO-yard
championship at Pittsburgh.
The Texan writes that he Is most
anxious to meet Ralph Craig at both
100 yards and the furlong. He says:
t nYou know, know there are not many persons
when l take notion" Henry, In his
letter. commented rather unfavorabIy
on the work of Alvah Meyer, the local
sprint champion He says of Meyer:
"Alvah has certainly improved a lot
so very fast" A taste of Meyers going
on the boards might convince the speedy
Texan to the contrary.
Henry fears a slump in his form in
the event of his having to leave his
present locality to try out for the Olym-
pic trip. in case he can make arrange
ments to leave his college before June l.
He writes: IF l were to go to the try
outs I'd be fast for a few days after
arriving in the East, and then the cli-
mate would get me- the same as it did
several, weeks to recover from such a
