nine In corn to brown leghorn chick

RUssIA's PEASANT BANKS.

"In IS months of 'water-wagOn' life
there have been founded $1,000 peas
ant cooperative banks and 1000 peas
ant cooperative supply stations or
Stores" says Ivan Narodny, secretary
Of the Russian merican-Asiatic cor
pOration, in the New York Tribune.
"These peasant banks are just now
forming central administration, a
bank of banks, In Moscow, composed
Of delegates from provincial banks
The government has not yet been able
to grasp the whole extent of these Pc
culiar institutions of the people, both
sporadically and suddenly looming up
as something gigantic in national
economic life. The cash capital of
these peasant banks amounts to 5OO,-
100000 rubles. while the value Of their
accessories, real estate, securities, ETC.,
reaches 1,OOO,OOO,OOO."
Most of the hatred against the Rus
sian Jew, he tells US, originated in the
lending Of money by Jews to peasants
The peasant banks abolish automati-
cally all Russian Jewish troubles.
IF the car had done nothing but
abolish alcohol" says the secretary
"he would loom up In history as one

DREAM RESTORES HIS SPEECH
Welsh Soldier Receivers the Power In
London Hospital Lost In
Battle.

London. - Many remarkable in
stances Of the recovery of soldiers Of
the power of speech. lost through shell
shock or wounds, have been told. The
latest is that of Welshman, Private
Morris, who had his voice restored in
n dream.
He was injured during the battle Of
the Somme, and on recovering con-
seriousness found that he had lost the
power Of speech. While in a hospital
in London he dreamed that he was
back in the trenches and that shell
burst near him. He shouted at the top

He then complains that the exist
Ing telephone system has proved to-
tally inadequate In consequence Of the
development of the fighting" and says
the artillery signal system broke
down. The commander asserts that
he has discovered that. British aero
planes use sound signals to tell gun
ners where their shells are falling. and
says the Fourth corps already has
started an experiment on the same
kind OF method us complement to the
wireless. which Is frequently inter-
rupted.
Superiority o. British Airmen.
1.-The numerical superiority Of the
British airmen and the fact that their
machines were better made are dis
agreeably apparent to u.s." Gen. Won
ArniM says, and he speaks of
the surprisingly bold procedure of
British airmen, who were often liable
to fire successfully on our troops with
machine guns by descending to with
in few hundred feet of the ground"
He adds that the German antiaircraft
guns could not continue firing ut that
height without exposing their own
troops to the serious danger of shell
fragments" Before the battle Of the
Somme airmen kept at anywhere from
6.OOO to 1900 feet over the lines on
account Of antiaircraft gunfire.
Gen. Won Arnim in the docu-
ment warns his infantry to use their
rifles against the daring British
aviatOrs. He says that the ammuni-
ton supply and the artillery are made
Quate, and that maps were insufficient
In quantity and bad as regard details.
Also the supply Of horses has reached
the utmost limit. or the food supply
Gen. Won Arnim says:
mo special difficulties arose. The
supply columns prove sufficient"

POWERFUL ARGUMENT.

In all discussions of the liquor ques-
ton there is one powerful argument
on the side Of those who favor the
prohibition Of the liquor traffic, wheth-
er the prohibition Is applied to large
area or a. small one, namely, that the
man who opposes the sale Of liquor is
asking nothing for himself except re-
lief from injury at the hands Of the
others, while the man who insists up
on the sale Of liquor Is asking some
thing for himself which cannot be
granted without injury to others.-

WISE WORDS.

WISE WORDS.
mo temperance advocate in the

those uttered Ly the German emperor

Of the Navy Daniels, speaking before
the national convention Of the Catho-
lie Total Abstinence union. The
words referred to, spoken November
Fl, 1910, at the dedication Of the new
naval academy ut Murvik, are In the
light Of the events of the past two
years most significant. We quote part
Of the address:
"As you will observe In the course
Of your time on board, the service in
my navy has reached a degree Of
strain which can hardly be surpassed.
To be able to endure this enormous
pressure In time of peace without wear
Ing out, SO that you may be fresh when
a serious call comes, is your duty.
The next war, the next naval encOun-
ter, will require of you sound nerves.
These are undermined by alcohol, en-
dangered from youth up, by Its use.
You will later have opportunity to
see the marine targets and the ac-
ton of modern guns on ships. and will
be able, therefore, to infer the con-
ditiOns in battle. You will see hor-

now are they going to show that vot-

So where will any voting strength

the case will the Woman's party have
the effrontery to take the credit?
If these women are honest in their

ask all voting women to vote either

Fallicies WomaD's Party Talk
Shown Up by Correspondent

A communication has been sent to
the Appeal, signed "a Wilson-R epub.
lican Woman Voter" in@ which she
asks if the Appeal can tell, her or if
anyone can tell her just how the
Woman's party expect to show after
election which were the women's
votes and which were not. She, after
studying over thss matter carefully,
came to the following conclusions
which will prove of interest to our
readers.
The whole appeal of the Woman's
party is based ON unfairness. The
only women whom it can possibly
put to the test are Wilson women.
The Hughes, Han1ey, Benson women
may vote just as they would il this
question of the Susan B. Anthony
amendment were not before them
To say that women have not their
party preferences, just as men have,
is nonsense. There probably is not
a woman voter anywhere in the
United States today who has not al
ways had her party preference.
I told some members of the Won
ans party that their appeal would
have more effect on me-, and probably
on many other women also, if in
stead of asking us to withhold our
votes from Wilson they would ask
us to unite on one candidate. Imme-
diately came the answer: ooh, we
couldn't get them all to unite on one
candidate" By their own confession
the Hughes, Hanley, Benson women
will not put themselves to the test
They will not even unite to defeat
Wilson-when to hear them talk you
would think they would now heaven
and earth to accomplish that pur-
pose. They ask this sacrifice only OF
