Siberia Has Vast Resources.

The common notion of Siberia ID
based on latitude and climate. Be.
cause part of 1t is in the arctic circle
the whole vast region has been as.
sumed to be almost beyond the pale OF
civilized occupancy. Notwithstanding
that much has been written describing
Siberia as it is, the common notion is
still that it is fit only for penal settle
ments and that the nihiliSts and other
political exiles were sent to these set
Elements as living death. This is not
lar from the truth. But the inhospit-
able regions in which the penal settle
ments were placed are far from being
all Siberia, and even some of these dis
tricts are capable of sustaining the
vigorous inhabitants of northern ch-
mates.
Siberia, in the economic sense, has
all the resources which go to make a
vast stretch of territory self-sustaining
as an independent nation. 1t has for
ests mines and great agricultural re-
gions where every product of the tenn
perate climate is capable of cultiva-
ton. The timber is in the north and
west. The mines are In widely scat
tered districts.

SLEPT WHILE GuHs R0ARED
ing Nap on q Hillside During
Pickett's Charge.

In the campaigns of both Antietam
and Gettysburg / was an officer in
regiment of cavalry, mere subor-
dinate, responsible only for obedience
to orders.
At Gettysburg July the division to
which we belonged occupied the high,
partly wooded ground on the right Of
the line, covering the enemy's flank
and rear. 1t was a bright July day,
hot, and with white clouds slowly roll
ing across the sky. Neither our lines
nor those of the enemy were visible
to us; and the sounds of battle were
hushed. Waiting for orders and for
action, we dismounted, out of regard
for our horses as well as for ourselves,
and sat or lay on the turf.
Injured to danger by contact long and
close and thoroughly tired III body and
overweight in mind we listened for
the battle to begin; and shortly after
noon the artillery opened. We did not
know 1t. foi. we could see nothing in
that direction, but it covered the IA
nous advance of Pickett's Virginia di-
vision upon Meade's center-that
wonderful feat of arms-and just
then, luiled by the incessant roar of
the cannon, while the fate of .ile
army and the nation trembled IN the
balance, at the very crisis of the great
conflict, / dropped quietly asleep. 1t
was not heroic, but it was essentially
war.-F'rom the Autobiography of

HAD THOUGHT FOR OTHERS
Second Traveller Decidedly More Con-
siderate of His Fellows Than
Was the First.

AT the information booth In q large
railroad terminal traveller asked for
timetable, which he looked through
until he came to the particular table
he wanted. This table he cut out with
his pocketknife, and then he put the
booklet with this table now gone out
of 1T back on the counter
1t seemed a thoughtless thing to do
because, lying there as e did with its
outer cover smooth, somebody might
have picked Il up and carried it off
thinking, naturally enough, that it was
complete, to discover its real condi-
ton only when 1t was too late.
But this misfortune really befell no
one, for a moment later another trav-
eler standing near, who had seen all
this done and who was perhaps more
thoughtful than the first, picked up the
torn timetable and carried 1t off to
drop it in the nearest waste paper re-
ceptacle.

FOOD SHORTAGE
GAUSE OF ALARM
CONGRESS AROUSED BY STATE
MENT MADE BEFORE AGRIcUL-
TURAL COMMITTEE.
ATTACK USELESS PRINTING
Charge Made That Warehouse in
Washington is Overlooking With
Documents That Viii Never Be
Used.
BY ARTHUR w. DUNN.

Westinghouse seems to be abso-
lutaly necessary TO issue constant
warnings to the American people about
the saving of food. And yet so far
as observation goes in the national
capital there has been no very great
attempt to curtail the use of food
stuffS, except so as to comply with
the requests made by Food Admins
traitor Hoover in regard to meatless
and wheatless days. There is still in
sighr in the markets and the stores
plenty of supplies, apparently. and as
long as money is quite free the peo-
pie are likely to buy those supplies.
While Mr.. Hoover issues note of
alarm from time TO time, the real
scare has reached congress. and par
ticulariy those senators and repre-
sentatives who have been investigat-
ing the food situation. The members
of the agricultural committee of the
senate have been really alarmed by
statements which have been made be-
fore them. which so far have not reach
ed the general public. Several of the
senators are particularly anxious about
the meat supply, and Senator Kenyon
ct Iowa, who has given great deal
of attention to the subject. feels that
there will be meat famine in the
United States within year. even if
every possible means should be adopt
ed to increase the supply.
"The people have not paid enough
attention to production" is the con-
clusion of Senator Kenyon.

kota, who made rather striking
speech in the senate last week on the
conditions of labor and the extrava-
gance of the government, thinks that
the question of labor might be solved
to some extent If great many people
who have been idle should be set 70
work. Taking the census figures OF
1900, the latest available, he found
that there were males between the ages
of eighteen ard sixty-two to the num-
Der of 6.539,652 who were not en-
ployed in any gainful occupation. Be-
tween the same ages were in round
numbers 25000.0O0 women who were
not engaged in any remunerative en-
ployment. He said that there were
enough unemployed men to make up
the shortage of labor in the shipbuild-
ing plants and on the farms. and many
women could take the places of men
in their present occupations. But he
did not explain how in this land or
the free we were going TO make these
unemployed go to work either in the
factory, shop or on the farm.

The price of wheat is likely to be-

sent to congress. Senator Owen had
letter from Oklahoma read to the
senate not long ago stating the posi-

planning that the farmers who had
been able to hoard their wheat were
going to get better prices now than
those who sold some time ago. The
letter was couched in homely phrase
and badly written, and seemed TO fur
nish amusement to quite number of
senators, but it conveyed Just what
the farmer meant The question nat

are not thinking along the same lines,

getting all they ought to have on ac-
