BY JOS. SHAPLEN


STOCKHOLM, June 10.-The
counter revolutionary movement
in Russia is growing. The boil
sheviki are living their last days.
Unless the present regime is
overthrow by the combined ef-
forts Of other revolutionary DEM
ocratic parties, there will be q
counter revolution Of the mon
archial supporters in Moscow and
Petrograd similar to that which
triumphed in Ukraine.
Skoropadsky, aided by the
bourgeoise and cadets, is ruling
Ukraine and has virtually re-
stored the old regime.
Manerheim in Finland and
Krassnoff in the Don regions have
triumphed in like manner.
In a similar way, the provinces
of the Baltic region have been
occupied, while the provinces OF
Pskoff and Minsk are under the
banner of Austro-German impe-
rialism.
Prepare for Thrust
Russia is threatened by foreign
imperialists on the north, west
and south.
The Turks are again advancing
in the Caucasus, aiming to unite
at Tiflis with the Germans, who
are advancing from the north.
With masked cunning, BY
friendly notes thru German Am
lbassador Mirbach. Germany Is
gradually approaching the heart OF
Russia, in order to pierce 1t at
the desirable moment.
An alliance of German and
Russian counter revolutionarieS,
acting from two fronts-the in
ner and the outer-are preparing
for a final and complete counter
revolution.
Last week, In Moscow, plot
was discovered in which hundreds
of reactionaries aimed to kill the
republic and restore the mon
archy thru simultaneous uprisings
in Moscow, Petrograd and other
centers, in cooperation with
bayonets.
Admit Helplessness.
The German command, OF
course, Is taking no official part
in these plots, but is Informed Of
the new reactionary regime at
the proper moment.
The bolsheviki themselves ad-
nit: I'VE are already corpse,
but there Is no one to bury u.s."
The bolsheviki regime. due to
methods of violence similar to
the old czarism in an effort to
preserve itself. is universally
hated. The proletariat are leav-
ing the bolshevik en- masse.
All factory workers in Petro-
grad have organized. Their con-
ference demanded reunited.
democratic front, abrogatfon OF
the Brest Litovsk treaty and for
nation of . nationalist, socialist
Russia, in order to restore in
dustry, inaugurate social reforms
and end civil warfare.
The bolsheviki planned to dis
solve the conference, butt got cold
feet. The conference il planning
q general strike unless the boil
sheviki yield.
There Is no doubt that the Rus
sian revolution is facing it's final
battle, in the counter revolution
and German intrigue. This will
decide the fate of democracy in
Russia.
Forces Are Weak.
Forces at the disposal of the
soviets are too weak to meet the

REVOLT CROWS

and the peasantry are DESERVING
the bolsheviki, they finally realiz,
ing the terrible consequences OF
the Brest Litovsk peace.
There is complete disorganiza-
ton of Russia's financial and
economic life in most districts,
the bolsheviki remaining in power
only because OF their hired bayo-
nets.
1t is as clear as daylight they
will be unable to solve the colos-
sal economic problems.
Petrograd Hungry.
Only the combined democratic
elements will be able to organize
a real army to end the disorgani-
cation OF the whole OF Russia. II
is not yet too late to accomplish
this, thru a united democratic
government, but the bolsheviki
prefer to swallow daily ultima
tums from Germany.
The bolsheviki press also has
surrendered, and Is concentrating
its attack on the members OF the
right and the mensheyiki, know
ing the peasantry and workmen
are Hopping to the latter.
Petrograd and Moscow are now
quiet. The former is virtually
starving, the population getting
about an eighth OF pound OF
bread a day.
Soon, however, something will
burst. The workmen themselv es
are preparing to overthrow the
bolsheviki to save the republic
before the growing counter revo-
luton restores the monarchy.

A CARD FROM JUDGE Bolts.

To the voters Of Audrain County:
As it will be impossible for me to
make a close campaign for the nomin-
alton for representative, I desire
briefly TO state my reasons for being
a candidate for representative, and
also for not being a candidate again
for Probate Judge.
I find that the grinding duties of
the Probate Office are rapidly wearing
me out and fear that / could not
stand it another four years. With
many thanks TO the people who have
urged me to run again for the office
and manythanks to other peopleof the
county for IGNORING me with the po-
sItion for four successive terms / am
constrained TO refuse 10 again ask for
it.
/ suppose that a few men have ever
held a judicial position for any on
siderable length of time without wish
ing that they could get into the Leg
i~slature at least for a time, and try
to make the laws conform to their
idea of justice.
So it is with me. In my sixteen
years experience 4 the Probate of
flee, have found so many conflict
ing and confusing provisions in our
statutes; so many illogical and I'M
just provisions, both in the substant-
i've law and in the methods Of pro-
cedure; provisions that delight the
legal sharper but that disgust the fair
minded man, that ! want to t-y my
hand at reforming them.
The next session being the regular
decenial revising session, II elected,
would have a good chance to succeed
in making many useful improvements
in vi probate laws, which as our
country grows older are becoming
more important.
But it is not my intention, if elect
ed, TO ride any particular hobby. !
am fully alive to the fact that great
and profound economic and moral
changes T taking place, not only in
CIR State and nation, but over the
whole world, and that a man to be
e. service to his constituents must
have an open mind and clear vision.
That this is no time for selfish ex-
%ploitation. | realize too that our coun-
try is now at war and that unless we
win the war that nothing else will
count for much, and if elected / shall
use my best efforts to show TO the
world that Missouri is one hundred
per cent American and patriotic.

Plunge IN Seheoi NAtatorium

Mexico expects to have a Home
Guard organization BY June I, Il the
present plans matcrialiEe.
Col y. n. Henderson. commandani
Of Missouri Military Academy. has
signlfed his willingness 20 drill each
morning. between G and 7 O'Clock, a
Home Guard organization At the Mis-
sour Military Academy. After the
drll and setting up exercises, the
members will be allowed the privilege
Of swimming in the school n~atatoriam.
Colonel Henderson is a thorough
military man, and Mexico Is most
fortunate to have an officer Of his
type and character 10 take charge Of
such an organization. The Home
Guard company should have at least
one hundred merbers. Aside from the
patriotic duty Of every citizen to en-
roll in such an organization, the ex-
e~rcises and swimming before break
fast will be of material benefit TO
them physically.
Those. who are interested, should
communicate at onee with either Col
onel Henderson at the Missouri Mil
itary Academy, Ross Wagner or F.
A. Morris. Quite a number Of cities
the size Of Mexico in Missouri have
Home Guard organizations, and we
are sure that Mexico will develop one
of the best in every particular in the
State.

Designs Project 10 Save Feed
and Eggs.

The period Of June 1 TO 8 has been
designated as Rooster Week in Mis-
sour, by the Poultry Department Of
the University Of Missouri. ard a
State wide campaign is being organ
ICED by the Poultry Extension Serv-
ice, TO obtain the removal Of all
ROSTERS from laying flocks at this
time. The purpose Of the campaign
is to reduce the annual bad egg loss,
by obtaining the separation of all
ROSTERS from the laying hens so that
only infertile eggs will be marketed
during hot weather. The bad egg loss
for Missouri last year is estimated at
100000 A large part of this Joss
was due to chick development in fer
tile eggs and could have been pre-
vented by getting rid of the ROSTERS
before hot weather began. "Can the
Rooster" is the slogan for this cam
paign, and every poultry keeper
should see that all ROSTERS are "ean-
ned" out of the laying flocks, not
later than June s.
Many produce dealers are arrang-
ing to pay a premium on rosters dur
ing Rooster Week, as an inducement
b. "can" them at this time. All male
birds not valuable enough to hold for
next springs breeding flock, should
be sold or eaten. This saves feed and
insures infertile eggs. Valuable
breeding males should be kept con-
fined during hot weather so they
can do 10 damage to market eggs. Ev-
cry poultry keeper will be expected to
observe Rooster Week and either sell,
eat or confine all ROSTERS, as a d.
rect step toward conserving food and
helping win the war.
