WHAT Is THE .RUssIAN PEOPLE"

Charles johnson, in Review OF Re-
views. In our press We read about the
great young democracy Of Russia rfs-
ing In it's might, overturning czardom.
breaking its chains. Nothing at all
corresponding to this really happened
There was no initiative on the part or
hte Russian people; there was no
struggle, beyond the street fighting In
Petrograd. in which a few hundred
men were slain; the Russian people
has expressed neither assent nor COM
ment on the whole affair. 1t has simp-
ly done nothing and let the whole
thing slide.
There is no cause for wonde in this.
If We think for moment, and realize
what the Russian people" really Is.
The population of what was the Rus
sian empire is 1sO.O0O,00O that OF
European Russia, leaving out Poland,
Is 100, 10000 OF these some 40. 0O0,-
900 live in country villages, while less
than 100000 live in towns. Petro-
grad and Moscow have about 2,eo0 600
each; Riga, Odessa and Kiev have
among them. about 1000, 900, while the
remaining $4,000, 900 dwell IN small
towns sparsely sprinkled over nearly
100000 square miles Of plains.
But the vast majority dwell in VIII
lagos Of log huts, averaging fifteen or
twenty families to the village. Their
hearts and souls are wrapped up IN the
rming-the very primitive and 1nef.
fectual farming-of their communal
lands, and they have little concern
with anything else under heaven. In
reality, they are not Russians" in
any clear national sense. for they have
no developed patriotic feeling; they
are simply villagers, for the most part
fumbling and illiterate villagers. and
the only thing they really care for is
their land-of which they never think
they have enough. The truth Is that
because Of poor farming and hopes
less communal tenure, they get very
little out Of their land: with little
knowledge, they might easily get twice
as much; with individual ownership.
they would probably get three times as
much But they believe that the rem.
edy is-more land, and they will blind.

that as children respond to brides OF

Burning Up Two Million Acres Of
Wood Should Have Some Effect
on Coal Situation, It
Is Believed.
CORD Is EQUAL TO TOY
Relative Values Of Wood and Coal Are
Same According to Way Experts
Have Figured
Them.

DIES MONIES, Iowa, Feb. 2e.-
There are 100000 acres of natural
timber In the state Of iowa, says
, Charles Webster, the state fuel ad-
ministrator.
! Among other things this depart
ment is doing" said Webster, ito pre-
vent repetition Of the fuel shortage
/ that has existed this season, is to urge
the people Of Iowa to use more wood
| for fuel"
! In addition to the natural timber,
! the aggregate area OF wood-producing
land in the state resulting from the
planting Of groves Is considerable.
The most heavily timbered section
of the state is the northeast portion,
and in the counties comprising that
section a large amount of timber la
cut each season. For Instance, Jack
son county produced $4,000 cords Of
wood in 1916. In normal times about
100000 cords of wood are produced
annually in Iowa. And at the pres
ent time" the fuel administrator says,
''it is probable that the production has
materially Increased"
Cord Of Wood Equals Ton Of Coal.
Discussing the relative value OF
wood and coal for heating purposes
Webster states that cord Of hard
wood will produce approximately the
same amount Of heat as a ton Of soft
coal. Two pounds Of wood will equal
one pound Of coal in heating value.
In order to facilitate the distribu
ton Of wood throughout the state
committees consisting Of three men
In each county have been appointed tc
have charge Of the wood production ir
their respective counties. Much inter
lest is taken In this work in various
parts of the state, some counties hav
ling considered 1t of such Importance
as to appoint a committee in each
township to look after wood industry
Establish Municipal Wood Yards.
In some localities companies have
been formed for dealing in wood In
the same way that coal Is handled
and In some towns municipal woot
yards have been established.
1--WE are urging the people to use
wood wherever 1t is to be procured,
Webster says. I'VE h1ve a lot o.
wood in Iowa, and using 1t for fue
to the greatest possible extent will &C
a long way toward solving the fue
problem in the present emergency"
