MILLIONS OF POLES

MusCovite Unity Probably VIII

New York.-The declaration OF war;
with the certainty that the resources of
Russia will be launched against Aus

tinental politics, who view the situa-
ton from this side of the Atlantic, to
examine the composition of the nation
over which the car rules. That Rus

pear at the very first glance.
There can be little doubt that the
most restless element in that vast em.
pire is made up of the 100000 or
more Poles who have been forced to
and their nationality to the govern
ment in St Petersburg.
Political observers In this city believe
that the 100000 Poles living In Rus
sia will not support the czar of all the
Russians, but will aid Austria.
Inquiry in the office of the consul
general of the dual monarchy resulted
In the prediction by Austrian officials
that this detection surely must result

The great struggle between Germany
and Russia now at hand will find the
ancient kingdom of Poland acting as a
fender, with the movement OF the
Poles left in doubt. A clash between
Austria and Russia would raise a
sharper issue, with the attitude Of the
Poles more easily apprehended.

FARMERS CLUBS SUCCESSFUL
Minnesota Proud of Her $50 Organiza-
tions Working For Prosperity.

st. Paul Mimi. More than 200 farm
ers' clubs have been organized in Min
nesota during the past year according
to A. ID. Wilson. director of agficul-
tural extension at the university farm
There are $50 farmers clubs in the
state. representing all but two of the
eighty-Six counties
The move to establish clubs among
the farmers is one of the greatest steps
ever taken in the opinion Of economists
ut the College of Agriculture A good
active farmers club does for rural
community what an active commercial
club does for village or city, they de
clare. 1t tends to secure the united In
duence of a community to develop and
bring about any desired improvement
and to oppose anything that is not for
its best interests.
There seems to be only two solu
tions." says Professor Wilson, Ito the
problem of putting the farmer on an
equal basis with those with whom he
has business outside of the farm One
ID W luCEcdSt tue size OI the average
farm. The other is to unite the inter
ests of several farmers owning farms
Of ordinary size for the purpose of out
side contact in both buying and selling
'"The latter plan is decidedly prefera-
BILE because 1t does not involve the
landlord and tenant or landlord and
hired help system and makes possible
the maintenance of the family sized
farm, which is one of our most impor-
tant American institutions.
II believe In the farmers club be
cause 1t develops people. 1t tends to
bring out the best there is In a COM
munity and to get people ready to act
concertedly for their own betterment
II is an ever ready means OF taking up
and studying independently any matter
Of importance to the community. 1t
makes the work Of the unscrupulous
promoter Improbable and aids any
movement that is for the real interests
of the community. A farmers club is
needed In every community"

FISH FARMING HERE
IS A new INDUSTRY
Small Pond Produces Much
Food and Money.

Washington.-"Fish farming is a
rapidly growing industry throughout
the United States. The up to date
fish farmers find ready market for
young fish and eggs and for food and
game fish. The government and the
states purchase large quantities OF
eggs and fry from fish farmers every
year Private clubs with their own
fish preserves and hatcheries also fur
nish a market at good prices for eggs
and fry. The commercial market for
food and game fishes Is a profitable
one. This is particularly true of trout
and bass. A steady market with an
average price of rs cents per pound
for game trout makes the production
of this fish particularly attractive"
III. NJ. Smith, commissioner of fish
cries, made this statement Commits
sioner Smith is greatly interested in
the growing demand for supplies by
fish farmers, as well as by clubs and
state authorities. and fish production
by these means is growing by leaps
and bounds.
"In addition to the fish farmers who
are in the business commercially" con-
tinued the commissioner. there are
large numbers of farmers all over the
country who have come to realize the
value OF the private fish pond as a
source of food supply. With a better
realization OF the benefits accruing
from the maintenance of fish ponds
on farms as an inexpensive and ready
food supply for home consumption. the
demand for black bass. crappies. sun
fish, catfish and other species adapted
to pond culture. which are obtainable
only through natural reproduction, Is
increasing out of all proportion to the
annual supply available.
During the fiscal year that ended
June 80. 1913, the total production and
output of food and game fishes by
the bureau exceeded 1858 100000. Dur
ing the fiscal year just closed the total
was considerably more than 1000 OO0..
000 And Notwithstanding the high
cost of labor and materials this steady
Increase In production and output has
been accomplished without proper.

JUDGE ACCEPTS FINES
PAID IN INSTALLMENTS
Michigan Justice Finds That
His Scheme Works Well.

Grand Rapids. Mich.-Judge John C.
Loucks, who presides over a Justices
court in this city. believes that the in
stallment plan may be used as ad
vantageously in the payment OF fines
as In the buying of household furnish
ings. On the books OF bis office he is
carrying on fewer than twenty names
Of offenders who are now paying fines
at the rate of from 90 cents to 50 a
week
The plan was inaugurated by Judge
Loucks over year ago. A man who
had been found guilty of assault and
battery was sentenced to pay a fine of
SIS or go TO Jail for thirty days. He
was a man of family and earned only
enough to provide for them. He said
he was unable to pay SIS and would
be obliged to accept the Jail alterna.
tive During the thirty days, he said
his wife and children would be with
out support and he would lose his job
The judge did not feel justified in
reducing the fine.
Have you got dollarf" he asked
the prisoner.
The man said he had.
LET me have It." said the judge.
Now you have paid So on account
Come around every Monday for sew
enteen weeks and give me a dollar
and at the end of that time your fine
will have been paid. Ii you fail to
make payment you will be brought
in and given the original sentence of
thirty days"
That man made good, and 1t gave
Judge Loucks confidence. He tried IL
again, and 1t worked. Soon 1t became
necessary for him to open a special
set of books to keep track OF his "cus
TONER'S" and he had to employ "A spe
cial clerk TO receive the installments
prod the lax ones and take care OF
the business"
In the year that he has had the plan
IN operation he has assisted an average
of thirty prisoners month. and only
