the federation.

Cost of Farm Products.
To the Editor Of The Star

To the Editor OF The Star:
In the otherwise very accurate re-
port of my remarks before the ma
tionaI board of farm organizations in
The Star OF February IL, your re-
porter failed to get my meaning in
the last paragraph of his report. This
is probably because of my clumsy at
tempt at irony. In closing, l said: II
think l have now shown why the
data on cost of production on file in
the Department of Agriculture are
considered not reliable" In my re-
marks / emphasized the fact that the
Secretary of Agriculture is opposed
TO giving out information on cost of
producing farm products. In order to
avoid giving out the data he has on
this subject he announced that these
data are not reliable. The fact is that
the data are reliable, and would be of
immense value not only to farmers
but to every one who is interested In
seeing justice done TO our food pro-
ducers If they were given out.

His Escape Fantastic.

His escape from Russia was equally
fantastic. Having acquired gertrude
that all the frontiers were effectively
guarded, he decided to go into Fin
land right through the principal from
tier station. To accomplish this bold
design he presented himself to the
major commanding the station and
asked to see him alone. The major
acceded and then NJ. Mabille told him
his entire story, adding that the major
had compromised himself by receiv-
ing a Frenchman alone and unless the
major contrived to get him across the
frontier he would denounce him to
the other bolsheviki.
This stratagem after various thrill
ing mishaps finally succeeded. A few
finding that he had actually in
CURED the suspicion of some of
his soldiers and fearing to be de-
nounced tried TO escape by swimming
the river. He was fred on by senti-
nels and dragged ashore half-drown-
ed by the Finnish guards. NJ. Mabille
then had an opportunity TO repay the
favor the major had conferred on
him.
The bolsheviki," said NJ Mabille,
dislike to mention Russia. The new
name Soydepia is composed of abbre-
Viations of the phrase soviet of dep
uties and of workmen. peasants and
red guards. The most powerful man
in Russia is not Lenin or Trotsky, as
people here seem to think, but the
president of the central committee
OF Soydepia-a quiet, inconspicuous
man named Sverdloff. It would be a
mistake to underestimate the ability
OF the bolshevik leaders. They are
fully as clever as our statesmen and
have the advantage of being entirely
INSCRIPTIONS.
"Bolshevisr1 today presents a fine
FACADE. but within it is rotten. The
financial position of the new Soydepia
Is untenable. Before the war Russia
was self-sufficient country, each
region contributing some food or raw
stuff TO the whole. but the most pro-
ductive regions lie outside the terri
tory now occupied by the boIsheviki
Their Chief aim, therefore. is TO make
some kind OF peace with the allies,
which nevertheless will enable them
10 keep their precarious power They
stu nope to disarm the allies By TO
| menting bolshevism throughout Eu-
rope. The end, according to their doc
trtne, JustIfies the means. Therefore
there is no ruse so low that they will
scorn to employ it,"

resolution and denunciation OF the
bolshevtk regime in Russia
The sending of an adequate force OF
American troops into Russia to put
an end to the rule of Lenin and
Trotsky was urged by Senator Nc
Cumber. who declared this aid should
