UKRAINE To GUST
HUNS AND BOLSH'V VIZ
APPEAL TO ALLIES FOR HELP IN
GETTING RID OF THEIR OP-
PRESSoRs.
IN. e. A. Special to The WORLDLY

IN e. A. Special to. The World)
KIEV, Dec. 1.-THE Ukraine covet-
ed by Germany for its wealth and suf-
lfering from twin evils of Germanism
and Bolshevism, is endeavering to es-
tablish political and economic indie
pendence. The Ukrainians have ap.
lpealed to the Allies for aid in ejecting
their oppressors.
To further its economic aims, the
country has established a new cur
Irency.
The Ukraine has been known for
a hundred years as the granary of Eu-
rope Given a stable government IA
vorable to the development of its peo-
pie and it would become one of the
richest spots ON earth.
Within this area of approximately
531,00 square miles, with a population
of 30,oo0,000, more than one-third of
Russia's farm products were raised
in the season before the war broke.
While it, comprises sixth OF the area
of European Russia, the Ukraine in
cludes more than third of its farm
land
More than so per cent of the Ukraine
! is under cultivation. With modern
methods Of cultivation, its output of
third of the wheat and rye and bar
ley of Russia would be increased many
fold
The Ukraine produces so per cent
of the crude sugar of Russia and near
| ly 60 per cent of the refined sugar, in
peace times, as much tobacco and half
of all the livestock.
| Its mineral resources are equally
surprising. Nearly thrae-fourths of
| Russia's coal has come from the
Ukraine and as much of its pig iron
and steel. Other minerals are also
found in abundance
| 1t was in keeping with the German
policy of Selling the salt of the
earth that she proposed to dominate
! this rich region.

to be something that does not take

LET CREDIT BE
JUSTLY BESTOWED

II is not the intent OF the Herald to
attempt to detract from the credit
that should be bestowed upon any In.
dividual or set of individuals for ser
vices performed, but ii does seem that
an editorial in the Elko Free Press OF
last Saturday spread it on rather
thickly in speaking of high school
matters. II We judge not amiss every
member OF the county board OF edu.
cation is entitled 10 equal praise in
the matter OF the erection OF the new
high school buildings at ElkO. They
were all principals and none were
assistants" / nthe sense in which
appear. As for the high school in
Wells, no one man planned or super.
viscd" its erection which fact every
one here can attest 10. In the first
place, the idea OF establishing the
school was conceived by the Wells
Commercial Club solely and alone,
and II was that organization that car.
ricd on the struggle for its establish.
ment The plans were drawn by an
architect, and the supervision OF the
erection was under the direct atten
tion OF the late o. 7. Hin, who was
employed by the county board OF ed
ucatiOn to watch progress and see
that the stipulations as outlined by
the plans were carried out. As stated
in the beginning, ii is not the pur
pose Of this paper TO in any wise re
| fuse the credit TO those whom due. but
| il does believe that no one should be
singled out as a principal with al
I others as assistants" Every mem
Der OF the county board OF education
Is entitled to unstinted credit, shar,
and share alike. They have all WORKED
hard and expended much of their tim,
in attending to details and watching
progress. Both schools are CrCdi
to the members OF the hOard-MT

achievements. Also. in regard to tn
