When the revolution succeeded the
Russian people spontaneously began
considering some way Of taking advant-
age of the lessons in cooperation and
popular rule and the experience they
had gained in the zemstvo and other
cooperative societies under the old au-
tocratic rule. Such organizations as the
zemstvo many times saved Russia un-
der the old regime by assuring proper
food to troops at the front and endeav-
oring to balance distribution of food
Many of the present leaders of the min
istrv were prominent in these organiza-
tions-having become prominent be-
cause they were originally chosen by
the people
A Sort of Zemstvo
But with the revolution success, the
people began electing delegates to meet
in the duma building to act as a sort
Of zemstvo organization to aid in gov

all over Russia met in barracks, trench

nearest approach to Ft'he voice of the

individuals have been made, and the

seventeen years is go pounds; in
his twentieth year this increases to

such diminution continues at slight

MICE RAVAGES IN ORCHARDS
Serious Losses Result to Orchardists,
Farmers and Those Interested
in Our Forests.

The ravageS of ShOrt-tailed field
mice in many parts of the United
States. according to ID. Il. Lantz, as
SiStant biologist of the department of
agriculture, result in serious losses
to farmers, Orchardists and those con-
cerned with the conservation of our
forests, and the problem of controlling
the animals is one of considerable i'm
portance. Short tailed field mice are
commonly known us meadow mice,
pine mice and moles; locally as bear
mice, buck-tailed mice or black mice.
Over so species and races occur within
the United States and nearly 40 other
forms have been located in North
America.
The runs of meadow mice are main
ly on the surface of the ground under
grass, leaves, weeds, brush, boards,
snow or other sheltering litter. They
are followed out by the animals claws
and worn hard and smooth by being
frequently traversed. The runs lead
to shallow burrows where large nests
of dead grass furnish winter retreats
for the mice. Summer nests are large
balls Of the same material hidden in
the grass and often elevated on small
hummockS in the meadows ana
marshes where the animals abound.
The young are brought forth in either
underground or surface nests.
