Famous Tramp
Loves Home

A baby's voice has proven stronger
than the call Of the Wanderlust to
''A-NO. L." the worlds most famous
tramp For more than thirty years
"Leon Ray Livingston was on the road
as tramp; not because he was fore
ed to take up the life, but because
he loved the freeness Of it all.
There isn't a travelling man in the
country who hasn't seen Livingston's
mark" on railroad stations and wa
ter tanks throughout the country.
Even now one can follow his latest
trip through Georgia and Tennessee
by watching for "A-NO. is" arrow
and initials.
His latest tramping trip, and he
assays it will be his last, led him into
Erie, Pa. last January. A crowd
was at the station to greet him as
he slid from the rods underneath a
railroad car. In that crowd was a
young woman. She timidly shook
hands with "A-NO. l." The tramp
was interested in her and soon
learned that her name was Miss abb
gail Trohoski. For the first time in
thirty years "A-NO. 1" was interest
ed in something besides his carefree
life on the road That something"
was Miss Trohoski
In few weeks the "Miss" was
changed to Mrs" and everyone won
def'cd just how long "A-NO. 1" could
resist the call of the road
But he settled down to writing the
book he had long planned. A few days
ago a uniformed nurse crept noise
1essly from a room in A-NO. rs home
and walked up to him.
tits a GIRL" she whispered.
THANK God for that" answered
A-NO. 1, "Im glad it's not boy
for he might have decided to be a
tramp, too; just like ais father. The
road has no more attraction for me
now; for with wife and a young
ster at home, what use has a man for
the life of tramp"

Russia. 1t was handful of scattered

seventh of the worlds land surface
today, a Muscovite giant sprawling
across two continents, and possesses
one-ninth of the worlds population.

Russia Is freed from serfdom. Farm

American agricultural machinery in

yesterday tempered by assassination

revolution and threatened revolution
caused to the Cars advisers, it has a

aids In the transformation Of Russia.
Before the emancipation of the serfs
the land around a village was held in
common. The village assembly an
nually divided the fields among the
families Of the village for the purpose
Of cultivation. With the products Of
this cultivation each family must sup
port itself. Under the present sys-
tenn communal ownership has been
theoretically abolished but, in the
more remote districts, not practically.
Communal cultivation still, in many
places, exists. In the villages of north
ern and central Russia the whole of
the female population and about one
half of the male Inhabitants are habit
ually occupied in cultivating the CON-
munal land or the land allotted to
them. The arabic part of this land is
divided into three large fields, each
of which is cut up into long, narrow
strips. The first field is reserved for
the winter grain-rye, which in black
bread, uninviting in appearance. but
neither unwholesome nor unpalatable,
forms the principal food of the rural
population. In the second field is
raised oats for the horses and buck
wheat for food Of the men and women.
The third lies fallow and is used in
summer as pasturase for the cattle.
The value of rotation of crops has
been long known and practiced in
Russia. The tri-ennial system is very
simple. The field which is used this
year for raising winter grain will be
used next year for raising summer
grain and in the following year it will
lie fallow. Every family in the two
fields which it has under cultivation
has one or more of the long. narrow
strips or belts into which they are
divided.
Serfdom VS.. Freedom.
The change going on from the serf-
labor system to a free labor situation
may be compared, to certain extent,
to the change in the United States.

ill-def1ned obligations to fulfill" COM

many years in Russia, such as the
carting of the masters grain to mar
ket, the preparing of his firewood, sup
plying of him with eggs, chickens,
homemade linen and the like-they
had. on the other hand, a great many
ill-defined privileges. They grazed
their cattle during part Of the year
on the manor land; they received fire.
wood and logs for their huts; and, in
times of famine. they could look to
their master for support. Now all this
is changed. The serf must buy every
thing he uses. Besides this, from an
economic point of view, village life
has been revolutionized Formerly
the members of peasant family OBJ
tanned from their ordinary domestic
resources nearly all they required.
Their domestic animals were bred at
home and their agricultural imple-
ments manufactured at home, except
where iron was required. Little money
was IN use or needed. Very different
is the present condition. Home indus
tries have been killed by the big fac
tories and everything must be
bought"
But with the change has come
freedom. The Russian peasant,
bowed with the weight and woe of
centuries" is lightning to stand erect.
The peasantry is passing through
period of transition. The peasant is
learning the use of liberty and, though
slowly, is improving the conditions of
the village, which. In Russia, means
rural life. The farm adviser, who is
here unfortunately too much of a bu-
reaucrat. is helping the peasant to
help himself. The adviser is generally
employed by a large landed proprietor
who wishes to obtain greater returns
from his land, but in certain parts of
Russia the local governments have set
farm advisers successfully to work
Assemblies improve Agriculture.
While the establishment OF factories
is making inroads upon the rural la
Dor, the Russia of today is and doubt
less, the Russia Of tomorrow will be
an agricultural nation. Hence the
efforts to increase the agricultural
products by better seed and improved
implements are initiated or encour-
aged by the local assemblies, interest
ing surviyals of self-government In
land of autocracy. These villages or
provincial assemblies - Zemstvos-in

Peasants Becoming Artisans.
The Russian peasant-muzhik-
with the coming of the factory, has, in
many sections of the empire, become
peasant-artisan. He works on the
farm part of the year and in the fac
tory in the town at other times. Often
he leaves the farm to the women, old
men and boys, and spends practically
the entire twelve months at the fac
tory, only visiting his farm home at
long intervals. Russian manufacture
ing began with the iron foun.
dries which were designed to make
cannon and other munitions of war.
1t was soon extended to include the
manufacture of wooden goods, cotton
goods and, latterly, all the products
employed in western civilization. For
eign capital. at first largely dominant
in all Russian manufacturing, has
been gradually succeeded by Russian
capital Most of the great factories
are now owned and operated entirely
by Russians. The development of the
factory, by creating necessity for
more workmen in the cities and fec
tory districts, has caused a change in
the farm conditions This result was
accompanied by certain changes in the
village or communal life which are

FORM IN LINE, PLEASE

We are doing a superior line of
printing in our job department just
now, and our sale bills are the talk
of the county. Week before last we
got out an order of bills for a farm
er north of town and they were so
attractive and nifty that he couldn't
begin to take care of the crowds that
flocked to the sale. After getting the
top price for every animal, implement
and article on the bill, the auctionccr
simply couldn't stop. The people
just clamored for more. The farmer,
in the hope of driving them away
put up his mother-in-law. She brought
$3.50 on the hoof Then he offered
his mortgage for sale. A lifelong
friendship between two old neighbors
was shattered as each tried to out
bid the other It was finally knocked
down by the poorer. He sold the
weeds along the roadside He sold
a gold brick that he bought in Chi
cago during the Worlds Fair. He
sold the ruts in the road in front
of his place and then offered to sell
the secret of where he had the sale
bills printed. We cannot give the
results as the returns are not all in.
They are bidding yet. That's the
kind of sale bills we print. Give us
a call.
