Princess Olga Golitzine. a Rus
sian princess OF %, has disappear
ed from her hotel In New York.
and Russian secret police and
spies are making a frantic hunt
for her. She ran off from her
husband in March and came to
this country with some money and
a large number of Jewels. When
her money had gone she pawned
her Jewels.
She was first found in the Hotel
Willard, In Washington.
Her angry husband, to whom
she had been married under orders
at the age of Is, used the mysteri
GUS network of Russian spies that
covers Europe and even this coun-
try to search her out. An attache
Of the Russian embassy called at
the Willard and pointed out the
folly of trying to defeat the will of
the car. When the plueky girl
refused to return home the attache
shrugged his shoulders and In
formed her she would scarcely get
a theatrical engagement. Then
she went to New York and found
the threat made good.

CROP REPORT WORK
Thousands of Reporters Contrib
ute to Making of Estimates.
Most of Them Are Not Paid, Being
CIassed as Volunteer Correspond
ents," and Only Reward They
Get Is Receipt of Circulars.

Washington-Abou 10000 report
ers contribute to the making of the
government crop reports which are
issued monthly at Washington. Most
of these reporters are not paid, but
are classed as voluntary correspond
ents,' and the only reward they get,
aside from the satisfaction of doing
the work itself, is that they receive
the publications of the department
without having to write to ask for
them Nevertheless most of them
stick to the work An inquiry made
in January, 1912, showed that S8 per
cent OF them had served more than a
year, 81 per cent had served more
than two years, AZ per cent. more
than six years, four per cent. more
than twenty-six years, and one per
cent. more than thirty-six years.
Among these volunteers are county
correspondents who have several as
sistants who can be called on if nee
essary They report directly to
washington. There are also township
correspondents who report directly
and independently to Washington.
Reports from these and still other in
dependent sources are used to check
one another. The number of counties
of agricultural Importance in the Uni
ted States is approximately $500, and
the township reporters number $4,000.
Then there are reports from many
individual farmers and planters re-
ceived at the end of the growing sea-
son. 1t is their business to question

In giving advice to the govern.
ment's expert investigator in regard
to rural health, the Cincinnati Times
Star says:
Prevail upon the farmers to throw
their frying pans, deadly, dyspepsia
nurturing instruments into the
ditches."
How, then, will the farmers wife
cook fried apples with New Orleans
molasses, her chief hold over the
farmers disposition? What will be-
come of the doughnut, dainty piece de
resistance Of the summer banquets
And chicken, must the toothsome
drumstick be wasted because some
city folk have feeble digestion? What
is to become of the rasher of bacon
in these hygenic eras? Are ham and
eggs with their sunny side up to be
obsolete? Throw the frying pan into
the ditch, indeed! One might as well
ask the farmer to give up planting soy
beans and cow peas.-New York Sun.
