Greece will at last be filling the proper
role of great powers.
Greece and Bulgaria
Believed in Agreement
on Division of Albania

ROME. via Paris. November 13.--The
Albanian question Is becoming more
acute hourly. the belief being expressed
in diplomatic quarters that a secret
agreement exists between Bulgaria and
Greece concerning Serbia. Macedonia
and Albania. According to this re-
ported agreement the southern part
of Albania would go to Greece and
the northern part to Bulgaria. the lat
ter country thus realizing its tradi-
tional dream of being bathed by three
seas-the Black sea. the Aegean and
the Adriatic.
The conviction is held by many that
Italy must participate in the Balkan
contest in order to safeguard her most
vital interests represented by the su-
premacy of the Adriatic and the pos
session of Avlona. The question now
to be settled is that of adequate mill
tary and political means to protect
interests in such manner as to be sure
of success, and also to avoid delay
which might render action too late.

Strong Local Government.

While few in the western nations
agree with the Russians concerning G
the latter's estimate of the blessings of
their village organizatio the Mir is,
nevertheless, OF unusual interest to stu
dents of things Russian. Within its
organization are included almost five
sixths of the Russian people, and these
five-sixths are locally governed ac-
cord.ng to more advanced principles of
equality and equal opportunity than
any other peoples in the present-day
world. And this is found in the worlds
greatest surviving stronghold of au-
tocTacy.
The Russian village bears a strong
resemblance to the patriarchal fam
lily. While its ties are not so fast, they
are much closer than in community or
ganizations elsewhere. The Russian
village is an example in practical COM
munsm. The lands which the individ-
ual members till are owned and parcel
ed out by the village: the grazing lands
are common property likewise, and the
village community is responsible for

VILLAGE COMMUNE IS
HOPE Of THE RUSSIANS
Cars Subjects Believe It Can Cure
Every Political Ill They
Can Have.
It Regulates Tilling of Soil, Family
Affairs and Is Responsible
for Taxes.

There is an institution in Russia
solely a product of its civilization and
peculiar to its people-which the Russians
feel can never fail their country in its
hours of necessity, and from which they
expect many blessings distinguishing
theirs beyond other states in the years
of coming development" begins bull
letin just prepared by the National Geo
graphic Society. This institution is
the mir, the Russian village, the peasant
commune upon which the power of the
empire is builded. In autocratic Russia,
the land with something suited to every
temper. the village commune forms an ex-
ceilent representation of self-government
of the most extreme democratic type.
THE Aussophl claims that his country's
rural commune presents practical solu-
ton of every difficult social problem which
confronts the statesman and economist Of
the west. 1t is to be made the foun-
tain head of such a high quality of so
cial justice in Russia as the rest of the
world has never dared to seek. In short,
the mir guarantees TO the enthusiastic
Moscovite the greatness of the future of
his fatherland

Redistribution of Land.

'The land Is redistributed periodically
among the members of the community,
and this forms their most important
political endeavor. While utterly DEM
ocratic, there is no election excitement
among them, as no one wants to be
elected to anything. Village offices
carry with them no honor and small
pay On the other hand. they entail
much work. A story is told in Russia
that one peasant who had been guilty
of some serious misdemeanor was in
formed by the proper village officer
that, henceforth, he would be incom-
petent to hold public office. The mis-
creant bowed very low and spoke his
heartfelt thanks for the new privilege
conferred.
THE village assemblies meet in the
open air. All heads of families are
competent to join in discussions and to
vote. Oratory is not tolerated. Hon
orable members are addressed by SIM

casionally to tell members to hold their

STUDENTS SEEKING POSITIONS

Both Assistant Dean Wiley and the
new Dean of Women, Miss Eleanor S.
Ross, say that they are receiving large
number of applications from students
who desire positions to work during the
coming college year. Mr.. Wiley states
that he never knew so many applicants
at this season, both of men and women.
The students are looking for chances to
perform household service of any kind,
either in return for room or board or
for few dollars a week. Some have
had experience as clerks, stenographers,
machinsts in garages, farm help, etc.
The explanation of the unusual number
is probably in the general business
depression, which shows young people
the advantage of education and at the
same time makes it hard for them tc
get the funds to attend college.

STOCK JUDGING WELL ATTENDED

The Stock Judging Demonstrations
held throughout the County are being
we'll attended by both the boys and the
grown-ups. At present the outlook
would indicate that $50 boys in Addison
County will be eligible to compete
in the contests at the Addison County
Fair and State Fair.
The farmers of Addison County
should keep in mind the fact that this
contest is to be held and help their boys
in any way possible to become more eff
fcient in the work of stock judging.
They should also endeavor to have the
boys attend the Fair the day of the
stock judging contest so there will be q
good representation and so that we may
get as good team as possible to senC
to the State Fair.
