SEEING AMERICA
IA LESSON IN ITS WONDERS BY
 A NEWLY ARRIVED RUSSIAN

Some years ago a newly arrived Russian-a business man who had come to settle in the United States sat at table in New York with sev- of his plans, he said that first and fore most he intended going to see Horicon Most of his hearers looked blank and one asked what business Mir Horizon might be engaged in.
 It was the shock of that Russians life, comments a writer in Munsey's when he learned that not one of those in the party had ever seen Lake George-not one had ever wandered over the sacred ground of Cooper Cooper of the wood and wave"
 Then he told them how, as a boy, he Russian winters and read transations of the Leatherstocking Tales until he knew more of the natural geography of northers New York than any man present And he talked of it for an hour, with shining eyes and vibrant voice, as a Mohammedan might speak of the home of the prophet With his eyes fixed on Lake George, he had hastened past the immemorial civiliza- tion of the Mediterranean, straight to the one place on earth that was to him holy land-the land of Uncas and Lea therstocking. And each year since then he has gone back, as to a shrine.

WAR FARMING.

The shortage in farm labor in Eng land is causing increasing unrest in agricultural circles.
 In some sections the scarcity of farm hands is not as serious as the lack of horses. The lack of male labor is be- ing filled so far as possible by the use of female and child labor.
 In the dairy and in the care of small stock it is likely that male labor will be almost entirely dispensed with. Much of the lighter field work also is being done by women and in the mar ket gardening districts they may be seen in large numbers at such tasks as wedding and setting plants. On some of the smaller holdings they have even undertaken the rougher work of blow ing and cultivating.
 Some of the agricultural colleges have organized short courses of in- struction for women who are willing to enter farm work. The course of in struction includes milking, dairy work, livestock, poultry, preparation of land, use of tools. planting and cultivation. The course reviews eigh' hours work daily for IA days.
 Wages throughout the farming dis tricts have advanced sharply the aver age increase being about a dollar weekly.

ST0|c RUSSIAN CAPT|vEs

The only happy Russian prisoners have seen are the wounded ones who free from vermin at last, and by their beds a pot of ointment which will in sure their continuance in that blissful state, writes James O'Donnell Bennett in the Chicago Tribune.
 The Russian prisoners are swarthy men in uniforms of dirty grayish brown-the least dressy color imag- linable-and they are clearing away the debris of bombardment, mending the roads, or peering out beneath the bars of churchyard gates, speaking the national word that is forever on Russian lips-"Nitchevo" ct doesn't lmatter)
 In the morning you see them at the lchurchyard gates dickering with Po- llish women for bread and cigarettes, their fur caps emphasizing the sug- gestion of hungry bears in their ap- lpearance They work with a good will and they are not allowed to stagnate for want of work.
 l Thousands of the Russian prisoners who have been transported to Ger many have been put to work on the Elbe canal, which is being built at a cost of $15O,OOO,OOO. They aer well lpaid.
 I never saw Russian prisoner give a sign of resentment nor heard one utter a word that sounded like com- lplaint. "Nitchevo" tells their whole lstory and the Germans have caught it up from them, applying it to many an lirksome situation that is most easily borne by pretending that "it doesn't matter"
 Thus the sad men in dirty brown have taught us a lesson in fortitude The plight of the wounded prisoners in transit is often so bitter hard that Ionly Russian could say "Nitchevo" land mean it.
 A sorrier mess I never saw than that in which Russians had to dwell during s me days at Lowicz before railway cars could be spared for moving them linto Germany The prison was the Iabbey church and the floor of the abbey lchurch was a kind of morass of melt ing snow, sodden straw and bloody bandages
 laround them lay the silent wounded, one man in each group who had good leg or a sound arm occupying himself in throwing snow and wet straw around the edges of the fire when it Showed signs of spreading over the floor.
 "This is very dangerous, said 'lieber Putz" the Munich artist who was Ipainting with icy fingers in one of the side chapels. But what was to be done? The wounded could not be al lowed to perish for lack of fire and, other than this huge church, there was no housing for them in Lowicz. Confessional boxes had been turned on their sides and some of the wounded were sleeping in them. Others lay along the top of the flight of steps leading up to the altars in the side chapels.

Alabama's return to the prohibition
folG is an event of even greater sig
nifcance than the going dry of state
which has never had a prohibitory
law. Up to. Jan. IA, liquor men made
much of the fact that Alabama adopt
ed prohibition and after two years
trial rejected it. Furthermore, the
vets permitted themselves to believe
that the result of the Hobson Under
wood contest last spring proved that
the -prohibitionists were in the
sad lie.
As matter of fact, Aalbama's pro-
hibitory statute was lost, as was the
senatorial fight, through the tricks
and wiles of the liquorites. The vets
succeeded in having the Legislature CT
1911 repealed the state wide prohibit
tory law and pass a county option bill
instead. The very next chance the
people had to express their opinion of
such summary proceeding, thu legis-
laturs of Alabama meets only once in
fonr years, they saw to it that their
law making body was overwhelmingly
dry After experience as wet state,
then as dry state. and again as a
wet, Alabama, all but eight of its six
ty-seven counties without saloons un.
der the county option Law, puts itself
in the dry column to stay put 1t is
fifteenth on the list of prohibition
states, and the law takes effect July l.,

Special 10 NE Ne70s.
have just been looking over the
News and reading the many good let
ters in it When l read the letters
from different places and different
writers. it calls to mind things of the
past. One item of recent date where
someone was discussing the early days
of Whitwell, caused me to think OF
one night in 1878 when the railroad
went no further than Victoria. | was
up in the valley there and wanted to
get to Victoria for the early train that
left there before daylight, so l had to
start for Victoria very early. There
are lots Of people who remember the
old Hawkins field in the upper end Of
Whitwell, and that it was known as
haunted place. Well, that morning as
| approached the field, l says to myself,
"Old fellow, now for the spoOks.' 1t
was dark night and after | got a
good way along l imagined ! heard
something. turned in the saddle to
look back, Just then there was
young mule stuck his head up right at
me. 1t was so dark that / could not
see it's body. All could see was its
long ears and head; All that prevented
me from jumping off and running was
the thought that tue noble steed that l
was riding might be able TO run faster
than could. The road was lined on
each side with trees. My "spook"
stayed on the trai and when we got
out from the trees | saw what 1t was,
and then decided | was not scared,
that l knew there were no hants, and
1t was all foolishness to get scared at
young mule. That's one spot Of
American soil that will always remain
fresh in my memory.
Our city election is on this spring
There are already several stepped out
and declared they were ready to sacri-
fee all to save the city. We have the
commission form of city government.
Some say 1t will not do. it places
more power In the hands of or
men than should be given them, but
our city has shown good healthy
growth under the commission. 1t has
increased from about 55. 600 to 1870, 0OO
in about eight years. We have more
paved streets and sidewalks than most
any city of its size, and the present
national administration has taught me
that it will not do to monkey with the
band wagon, let good enough alone.
