STUERMER RISES AGAIN:
GETS IMPORTANT PLACE
Former Russian Premier Vow in the
Foreign Office

Foreign Office
Berlin. Jan Z. Boris Y. Stuermer,
who was succeeded as Premier in the
Russian Cabinet by Alexander Trepof
last November, has. according TO the
Overseas News Agency. been appointed
to an important position in the Russian
Foreign Office.
With the overthrow Of Boris Stuor-
MGR from the Premiership, last No

heavy blow al rcactionary and German
influences. Since that time the Duma
has gradually increased in power, but
the reac.ionary influence has been
strong enough TO keep Protopopof in
the Home Office and TO prevent the
complete Punishment OF Stuermer. How
dangerous be viii be in his new place
is uncertain, but the above dispatch
indicates German pleasure at the APP

No matter what action is taken by

farmers are assured of top prices for

will come from the soil.
Good Acreage of Oats.
There also is good acreage in

the wheat II has bought more than the

Fire Protection Factor.

AT probably no time since the his

price will be high. I think it will be
s. or better for wheat during harvest
for the reason that there is a big short
