IN RUSSIA.


From July to December there were
recorded in Petrograd in 1918 ninety
seven suicides, but in 1914 only four
teen. The same phenomenon was OBJ
served in Warsaw, where during the
first half of 1914 there were recorded
419 suicides, and during the second
half only 205. The reduction Of the
number of small loans made by the
pawnshops, and the increase of the
deposits in the savings banks, were
among the further gratifying results
of temperance. For the first two
monthq of 1915 the savings banks Of
Petrograd received deposits exceed
ing the figures for the corresponding
months of. 1914 by one and half
million rubles (e15O,OOO), while
throughout Russia the quantity of de-
posits increased by hundred billion
rubles (e10,OOO, O,OOO).

IT IS too cold in winter TO enjoy

season just passed. none Of US has
minded this. We have all been able
to watch the price OF wheat
When the. uerspiringt farmer had
stuffed the last sack OF wheat into his

price of wheat was around so cents

There were over sO0.OOO.O0O bushels
of wheat in the T. s A. waiting TO be

content except the farmers who had
raised oats. But when the great war
was declared, wheat began TO try for

There was time when the price Of
wheat was the most imT ortanr thing

a revolution England has had in two

was supposed 10 earn only enough TO

war, the struggle between organized
