RUSSIA Stronger,
IN WAR TOFIN|SH,
LANSING IS TOLD

That the Russian republic may de-
mand the respect and confidence OF
the United States more than ever be.
fore is the purpose Of a formal report
by Ambassador Kakhmetieff to Secre,
tsry Lansing today. The outstanding
features of the Russians statement to
this Government are:
Russia's future Is secure.
Her army. considered an inealcul-
able factor before the KornIlon revolt
is now the strongest bulwark Of the
republic
The BolshevikI favoring ImmsdI-
ate International peace negotiations,
have reached the zenith OF their
power after being temporarily
strengthened by concessions from Ke-
rensky during the recent crisis.
The Pan-Russian Soldiers and
workmen's convention in Petrograd
Sunday will curtail Lenine's sudden
assumption OF powers over the Pstro-
grad council.
A more fayorable military situation
exists now than at any time since
Koinilon's Inflated Galicfan drive.
Absolute denial of any demand for
separate peace between Russia and
Germany.
The Bolsheviki are for peace among
all nations-not a peace with Ger
many alone. Reports emanatIng from
Washington early this week chat Rus
sia was talking separate peace were
branded at the embassy as malicious
with 'pro-German
tinge."

The citizens OF washington organic
cd a home guard last week, and an
nounce that they are ready for any
/. W.. w. fellows who undertake to
pull off any stunts not recognized in

citizens prepared to man-handle any

right back with a threat to quit South
Dakota cold, and let her old harvest
go to the dogs.
Miller has no home guard except a
big two-flsted chief of police, who
Keeps his eye pealed for undesirables

This man Haywood is the notorious

brutal murder Of Idaho's governor

representative OF the tolling class
many people sympathised with him at
that time, but sympathy and genuine
interest in real honest labor which is
c~ommendable, is wasted upon such
characters. Haywood, OF any other
man, must comply with the country's

nearly all Americans do SO, Of their

BUYING FROM PEDDLERs

The report that a peddler
was selling, or trying to sell, court
plaster in this city last week recalls
the newspaper statements in Kansas,
Colorado and Nebraska that peddlers
were selling diseased court plaster.
Why on earth anybody would want to
buy such an article from a peddler
Is beyond ordinary understanding.
Regular and reputable dealers carry
such things, and newspapers general
ly have warned the public time and
again.
The intelligent, reading public, take
heed of these warnings. but 1t may
surprise this portion of the public
who read to learn that there are a
considerable number or people who
seldom read anything except the SEN
sational part Of a newspaper. This
deplorable fact accounts for the fur
Their fact that there Is a field for pick
ing up easy money, and the peddlers
find this field. Another class of the
public allows itself to be hoodwinked
through sympathy, produced by some
sob story. II there were no custom
ers for these irresponsible peddlers
their business would soon end.

COAL sHORTAGE FEARED

The daily papers are calling atten-
ton to a considerable shortage of
coal at lake docks, and have issued
warnings to the government, to rail-
roads and mine owners. that immedi-
ate action is necessary to supply the
northwest with its fuel for next win
ter. AS usual the blame for this con-
dition is passed from n TO another
OF the interests involved. The rail-
roads and lake ships have been re-
turning west with very little coal
because mine operators have not
filed them up.
A government investigation Is beinf
made. but there Is very little coniid.
ence placed in government action
due to its failure In several other in
stances. or course the public will
naturally expect that this condition
whatever it's cause. will result In tn,
innocent having to pay NOR,

The sowing Of fan rye is beginning
to attract attention in this locality,
and its advantages appear TO be worth
while. The grain is a good price, the
yield Is usually as good as any other,
and II gets the benefit of maturing
earlier than spring grain. The latter
point Is one Of considerable import
ance sometimes. because the earlier
maturity often escapes a not. dry spell
in July. In eastern and southern
counties OF the state IL is the custom
to start the fall blowing as soon as
grain Is in the stack.
