HAVE COMMUNITY CENTERS
 AND COOPERATIVE CLUBS

The Ukrainians in this country are yoracious readers. In their homeland, Galicfa, the peasants are so poor that they cannot buy books papers, or magazines. Large num- bers of them are illiterate. Their foremost desire upon reaching A merica has been to educate them selves. Some idea of their zeal for self-improyement can be gathered from the statistics recently obtain ed by the Ukrainian Federation, re- gardfng their consumption of print paper. Only eight newspapers are published for the 100000 Ukrainian in the United States ,and yet they consume more print paper than all Of the newspapers published for their 4,OOO, ,OOOO brothers living in Galicia.
 The first Ukrainian immigration to America began about thirty years ago. The immtgrants who came then were from the Carpa- thian Mountains in western Galicia' Their home conditions had been for Lorn. They were farm laborers and oun,a DracticaIlv no land them selves. More than half of the araDle land in Galicia belongs to landlords many of whom are foreign nobIemeI The peasants work for pittance anG have practically no chance of buy ing any land for their own occupa- tion. In fact, their status has net been very far above serfdom.

Legislature May
Be Called Into
Special Session

INDIANAPOLIS. April Talk
Of the ACCESSIBILITY Of a special ses-
sion Of the state Legislature to enact
measures TO meet extraordinary
war conditions was afioat in the
state house corridors today. The
discussions were a revival of SINH
lar gossip current just previous to
the critical illness of Gov. James P.
Goodrich last summer and which
was dropped when the governor
was forced to so to a hospital. More
recent proposals for a special session
did not bear fruit.
Gov. Goodrich has the matter OF
an extraordinary session under con-
sideration, it is known. but it is we'll
understood that no action may be
expected until after his return from
Camp Shelby. Miss, where he and
a party of distinguished persons will
visit Indiana guardsmen. When
the question first arose il was made
plain that the governor did not
wish to call the lawmakers to gether
if it could be avoided without en-
dangering the best interests OF the
state.
The rebuilding of structures at the
state reformatory at JeffersOnville,
recently destroyed by fire; the vast
ly increasing cost of maintenance of
the states penal and charitable in
stitutions and questions relating TO
the activities of the state and county
councils of defense are problems de-
handing funds which the state ap-
pears unable 10 provide without ad-
dltional appropriations. These are
problems that could not be foreseen
when the legislature was in session
early 81 1917.
