sTAY wrTH ALASKA

If you are in Alaska and have job. stick to it bv all means. Is the tersc and sensible advice given by Alaslans who have been outside to take q lock at the situation and who have re- turned, giad 10 get back. For while, at least. The great readiustment, following the world war is taking place. Things have been on an unusual basis. They must be adjusted 10 meet tire fast-charging conditions And this big re- adjustment is going 10 disturb the big indus trial concerns of the nation.-Cordova Herald. THE PEASANTS PIG
 The simple Russian peasant is learning thru hard experience of the beauties Of socialism. When'tne other fellow had the land sud he lad EoTe, II seemed fair enough 10 him that there should be | grand distribution. Now he fas his bit of land, but finds himself in the previously envied class with others existing who eovet that which he produces The land having been socia- Ezed the products now are sociahzed. The in- glgstrioglS peasant cannot sell a pig from his farm and keep the money. The proceeds must be turned over to the bolshevik. who distribute part of the money among those who have no pigs to sell.
 It is 2 beautiful system so long as you are one of the grabbers. When you become grabbee il Is another matter. So peasants who once vel comed bolSheviSm now wish to rid themselves of it. The benefit of the lesson to those in America who are triffling with bolshevism is probably lost in the fact that the story is told by Grand Duke Alexander. The insistence that no member of the capitals class" can tell the truth about Russia Is familiar But there was published an interview the other day with Robert Minor. who has spent g year or so in bolShevik Russia. Minor thought he was 8 b6l- shey&St before hewent to Russia Here he was . friend and associate of Emma Goldman and Alexander Berkman. He was associate editor of Mother Earth and also wrote for Solidarity, the | N, N. paper. In the latter paper he ex- pressed the gentle opinion that each union should have machine gun to enforce its rights. He spoke against preparedness and re commended direct actioS to prevent it. He was one of those actively interested in the defense of ThonasJ Mooney. and while in San Francis @ assisted in celebrating the departure fof Rus zia of several parties Of New York east side anarchists in 19l7 He followed them to Petro- grad III 1918
 Minor ought 10 ise considered truthful by ths American anarchists He is one of them Yet he speaks 1T disgust Of bolshevism. The leaders having oy the process of grab attained affuence are bent on protecting their acquired rights from any new set Of grabbers. The peasant with his. pig is more lowly than ever but the bolsheEik rulers have become a master class
 Capital is showing itself again. It rides in airaoaSi1es 10 the doors of the peoples commis -aTies. Possibly the worst element of capital ism is learning new tricks in the exploitation ot Iab0r-AFsrv7iry 0raronisu

Ink Beats Blood.
With one flourish of the pen A1varado
wiped out all peon indebtedness to
haciendado. Then he turned to -evolu-
ton. With the exception OF 800 soldiers,
he demobilized or returned his army to
the Mexican capital
He brought the rebel prisoners from
Jails, told them revolution meant justice
and sent them home to tell their fellows.
For his own followers he created the role
of preacher. sending them into the rural
districts to herald the gospel OF the rev.
olution. Because these men could not
be bribed by the tyrannical upper class
they were enabled to pacify the masses.
Under his regime there were only two
executions-two of his own men who as
saulted a six-year-old girl.
Army Of Teachers.
He organized new army-an army OF
1000 teachers. He set up schools in
every city and village: placed one in

hours in the afternoon are given over to
illiterate women; at night there are
classes for working men. Thus his edu-
cational program reaches three genera

CLEANUP WEEK
IS INAUCURATED

Cleanup week starts Monday, ac-
cording to the proclamation issued two
weeks ago by Mayor w. w. thinner
man.
Lets make Richmond clean city,
said the mayor Monday morning in
inaugurating the week. 81 call on
every good citizen of Richmond to
clean up front yard, back yard, side
walk, lawn and vacant lot, and to help
his neighbor clean up, if necessary.
Last year there was no cleanup
week, due to the war, SO our city is
dirtier than usual this spring. The
city has begun the good good by plac-
ing waste cans along the principal
thoroughfares to catch the refuse
usually thrown in the gutter. Let the
private citizens second it by getting
busy with the mop and bucket, rake
and broom. Let's have a clean city
for Sunday, May 10, when the week
ends"

OLD MUSEUM TO
HOUSE AUSTRIA
PEACE SICNERS
Presentation Of Peace Terms
to be Made in Beautiful
Apartment of Old Palace.

PARIS, May 1.-THE French for.
eign office having been informed that
the Austrian peace delegation might
be expected to arrive on Wednesday,
work Is being hastened on the delega-
tion's headquarters at ST. Germain-
en-Laye, where the palace of Francis
is being put in order for the recep-
tfon of the visitors. Used for years
as a museum, it contains wonderful
collection of Gallo relics ranging from
prehistoric times to the era OF the
Gallo kings. Experts are busy remov-
ing the glass covered tables and cases
containing flint weapons, bronzes,
bangles. pottery and other priceless
collections to provide space for the
meetings of the Austrian plenipotenti-
aries.
1t is also planned that the presenta.
ton of the terms of peace will occur
in the most beautiful apartment of the
old palace, which is located on the
first floor and approached by grand
staircase, the walls of which are en-
blazoned with royal devices. The fire
places an dceilings of the apartment
are beautifully decorated. Tapestry
has been brought from the national
storehouse to cover the walls which
are filled with taxiderms of the NAM
moth and great elk that once roamed
over France. The adjoining apart
ments are being cleared and room
devoted to the famous collection OF
Gallo pottery will be used as a cloak
room.
Two groups of nearby villas have
been requisitioned for the Austrian
and Hungarian delegations. They are
quite distinct, so that no communica-
tions can pass between the two dele
cations of the former duel empire.
1t is still proposed to conduct the ne
gotiations separately, but If possible,
they will be carried on simultaneously.

LOCAL TEACHERS
TO RECEIVE S1OO.
INCREASE IN PAY
Average Salary for Grade
Teachers to be Over ST. 900
New Systems Discussed.

Flat increase Of 500 in the salaries
of the teachers in Richmond for next
year was announced at the teachers
institute Saturday py Superintendent
]. H. Bentley. The average salary
with the increase In the high school
will be $1,361 year; in the Junior
high school. SLIT year, grade school
principals $1,328 and elementary
teachers $1.010.
Mr.. Bentley also announced that
new system would be introduced into
the Starr school, which is at present
over-crowded. The system is modifi-
cation OF the Gary system which has
been in force in Kalamazoo. One rea.
son for installing this system in Starr
school is because it relieves a crowd
ed condition. The platoon system. as
it is called, is a partial departmental
system which begins in the third
grade. While part of the children
are taking their work from the regular
teachers the others take work from
special teachers, such as supervised
play outside or in a playroom that
Will be fitted up in the basement,
music, or art. This method will re-
lieve the regular teacher of such our
dens as the special work requires and
gives her more time to specialize on
reading, writing and arithmetic. There
will also be a special course in litera-
ture which will teach children the
right kind of literature to read and
study.
Praised for War Work.
One of the special features of this
| system is the fact that it does away
with recesses and gives 80 minutes OF
supervised play in the morning and in
the afternoon. The day will be divid
| ed into 80 minute periods. G. A. Steely
| who is now principal Of the Baxter
| school will be principal of Starr school
next year. Mr.. Steely and Mr. Bent
ley recently went to Kalamazoo to
| study this plan. If it should be sue
cessful in Starr school it will no doubt
be put into the other schools later on
! Mr.. Bentley congratulated the schoo
| teachers on the success of the sale
of thrift stamps and war saving
stamps in the schools and the sale
of Victory loan bonds among the
teachers.
He also discussed the Junior Ret
Cross and said that the teachers O.
Richmond had done much more with i
during the past year than had beer
expected. Next year plans viii b,
formulated to operate the Junior Re-
! Cross on more definite and extensiv,
1 plan
i Mr.. Bentley discussed in detail tn,
new Junior high schools that are tt

He also discussed new plan fol
