RUSSIA RESURGENT

It seems that the Hon. E!ihu Root
knew what he was talking about
when he expressed an Astounding
confidence In tho Russian people to
sxtricate themselves from the diff
culties attending their new freedom
and finally establish permanent
republic. The best things as we'll as
the strongest characters come up out
Of great tribulation. Russia is a
striking example OF the truth OF that
Rdage and kerensky IS the character
that shines brighter after having
passed through the fire of treason
and intrigue.
The announcement is made OF the
reorganization Of the Russ ian cabinet

WHY OBJECT TO IT?

The crying need for Congress
sional Committee on the Conduct Of
the War is again seen In the pro-
vision in the bond bill giving Mr. Nc
Adoo four billions Of dollars to dis
tribute among foreign nations. While
Representative Frederick Fl. Gillett
of Massachusetts disclaims all in
tentton Of embarrassing the admins
tration, he Is astounded at the power
we are proposing to turn over to one
man. The Secretary Of the Treasury
Is the biggest almoner that ever
existed" e1claims Mr.. Gillett. "The
Count Of Monte Cristo and Aladdin
never had under their control such
vast sums as we have entrusted to a
single man"
Mr.. Gillett Is emphatic In his belief
that Congress should retain some
voice, through O. committee, in dis
tributing this vast sum among the
nations. and determine whether there
is sufficient reason for loaning 1t as
the exigencies arise. And there are
many other contemplated dsburse-
ments that ought to be looked over
before the funds are dispensed. If
the administration has nothing but
honest Intentions why does It object
to a friendly supervision which is
nothing more than an audit"

stands at the figures quoted plus an
oversubscription of half a million
dollars.
There is one very satisfactory
feature though. which gives Ohio
county the first rank in the number
of subscribers. leading the list OF
counties with 4,577. But we should
take greater pride in the fact that
among the subscribers in this, county
were 2,779 wage-earners, which far
exceeds the record Of any other
county, the nearest approach being
Harrison with 1888. This shows that
there was a much larger distribution
Of investment in this county than
any other community OF the State.
The county also leads in the number
of small investors. 2,431 persons pur-
chasing $50 bonds. It likewise leads
with purchasers Of 500 bonds to the
number Of 1.4S6.
The total amount OF Liberty Bonds
purchased in the State foots up $751;
I7S6,S00, with 10000 subscribers,
s4.o22,05O were purchased for banks
s11 ,0s6.0o for bank customers, and
other persons took s66S,750. The
five leading counties In the State in
their order were Mercer, Ohio,
Kanawha, Marion and Harrison.

According To committee OF experts

Keep the Land at Work.

Let us not this season-as we
often do-waste all the work of
cultivation we give to the early
vegetable crops, by letting the land
grow up in grass and weeds as the
crops ripen. But rather let US keep
the tools of cultivation running a
little later, then, without further
working of the land, plant other
crops that will mature better in the
fall or during the winter. Late
corn, turnips, parsnips, rye, oats,
etc.. may we'll follow the old pota-
to crop or the land may be seeded
to grass, clover or alfalfa at little
extra expense, and these crops go IN
under almost ideal conditions.
Good land is required to produce
fine crops of Irish potatoes and 1T
will be almost a sin this year to let
rich land-that is already in good
seed bed condition-grow up IN
wild grass and weeds. We often
work the potato land just as the
plants are maturing and plant corn
between the rows. then while the
potatoes are being dug the corn Is
sprouting.-Progressive Farmer.
