SOVIET SEEKS RECOGNITION
 BY AMERICA
Russian Government Will
 Make Big Deposit.
200 MILLIONS FOR
 RECONSTRUCTION
Representative Hopes Manufacturers Will Accept Propositions
 or Government.

New York, March 20.-As the first step to obtaining recognition by the United States. the Russian Soviet government is prepared to deposit S200, 0,000,000 in gold with American and European banks for the pur- pose of supplies needed in recon struction work, according to a formal statement issued here tonight by l.. ,C. A. K., Martens, American repre- sentative of the Demidoff Iron and Steel Works in Moscow through the "bureau of representatives of the Ru- sian Socialist Federal Soviet Repub- lie.
 Asserting that he had received this week his appointment as official re presentative of the Soviet govern ment in the United States, Mr. Mar tens said he had forwarded his ere dentials to the state department and meanwhile has opened temporary headquarters in this city. With the credentials, he said, he had sent a report on conditions in Russia and an depression of his governments desire to. re-establish normal delations be- tween the two countries.
 Mr. Martens said that in addition to the $200,0O0,000 to be deposited to defray the cost of initial purchas- es, the Soviet government was pre- pared to submit various propositions which he said he hoped would prove acceptable to American manufactur- CTS and exporters, looking toward es- tablishing of credit for additional government purchases. l.,

buRLESON STATES POLICIES OF p. 0,
 M|SREPRESENTED
Agitators Are Responsible For Dissatisfaction, He
 Declares.

New York, March 2O.-Postmaster General Burleson. in letter made pub lie here today to Secretary of labor, Wilson, regarding the telegraph and telephone wires, charges that flew agitators" are continuously conduct ing propaganda which engenders un- necessary dissatisfaction among em- ployes. The post office departments policies are misrepresented, MT. Bur- leson declared. so that the impression is created that the government dis eliminates against employees who are members of labor unions.
 The post master general asserts that equal treatment in this matter of wages, conditions, and considera- ton of grievances. is given both to union and non-union employees and denies there has been permitted any discrimination against employees be- cause of labor unions affiliations.
 Failed To Get Facts.
 Mr.. Burleson declares that Prof. Frankfurter in studying this situa- tion did not consult the postoffice de- partment's wire control board, of which MT. Burleson is chairman, and that Prof. Frankfurter consequently failed to learn facts.
 "Much satisfaction which now pre- ,vails," the letter reads, "is not due to any failure on our part. to remedy claims as to wages or hours or work ing conditions, but is due entirely to the few agitators and the propa- ganda which they have continuously conducted. Many of the persons have ,, no connection with the telegraph ser elves, have no interests in it's sue cessful operation. and their livlihood depends upon their ability to engend- CT belief in the midst of the em- ployes that they are serving them which they seek to do by fomentine discontent and dissatisfaction. In at l tempting to do this. thev do not hesi- tate to misrepresent our policies, the conditions existing in the service, ol matters affecting employees"
 The governments wire administra tion, MT. Burleson says. is endeavor ing as rapidly as possibe to remedy bad working conditions and to right inadequate wage rates.

Washington, March 20.-Under the stimulous of war time demands, meat production reached the enormous to- tai of 23,366.OOO,O00 pounds last year, which the department of agriculture announced today, undoubtedly never before has been attained ill this coun- try, and certainly not in any other country.
 Meat produces met the war situa- tion magnificientlv in 191S," the de- partment said. "They increased meat production in one year by "A per cent and thus made possible an in- crease of national meat surplus in cne year b y79 per cent and an in crease in per capita consumption by 17 per cent Notwithstanding the very high prices of meat in this coun- try in 1918, and with prices rising ai3ove 1917, a large fraction of the population must have greatly increas- ed it's meat consumption in that year. :" crease o falmost five million pounds last year compared with 1900.

while milk drawn from the clean cows
whose udders were washed immediate
ly previous to milking had a content of
only 4,947 germs per cubic centimeter.
These tests were made Immediately
after milking. Naturally, on stand
ing, the milk with the greatest number
of bacteria would deteriorate most rap
idly, due to the multiplication of the
germs Accordingly its value az hui
man food would be greatly reduced,
while its introduction in the city mar
ket would be carefully scrutinized, and,
in some eases, punished by the health
authorities.
Pride should cause every dairyman to
maintain his cows in an attractive,
cleanly, and sanitary condition every
day i'll the year. In way the APP
pearance of the cow is an accurate
measure of the owner In the same de-
gree that neglected fences, overrun
fence rows, tumbledown buildings, and

cow LIKES TO BE CLEAN.
Gives More and Better Milk When
Brushed and Curried Daily.

The dairy cow is naturally clean
and tidy beast. Unfortunately man
has been obliged to eonfine her closely
in stables during certain parts of the
year, with the consequence that unless
he daily brushes and grooms her, she
soon loses the gloss and luster of her
coat. For the same reason that it pays
to groom horses-greater efficiency
from clean eoats-it also proves iuval-
liable to treat the dairy COW daily to
a vigorous application of brush and
curry comb Cow comfort, that mex
plainable condition of well-being which
means animal satisfaction and the eco
nomical production of the maximum
flow of milk is fostered by careful and
persistent grooming during the sea-
son when the cows need such extra
attention, as ordinarily during the pas
ture period the animals Of their own
accord keep themselves clean,
From sanitary standpoint the dirty
COW is one OF the main sources of con-
tamination in milk, for unless the dirt
is removed previous to milking, ii is
likely to fall into the milk pail and
carry undesirable bacteria with it..
Hence, grooming cows is fundamental
safeguard against inferior germ laden
milk. Where cows are groomed daily
an attendant rtquires only about two
or three minutes per eow
Extensive experiments conducted at
the government farm, Bellsyille, Md,
show that milk drawn into sterile pail
from dirty cows contain an average
of 32,677 bacteria per cubic eentimeter,

Suppose someone had fresh air for
sale" suggests a magazine. What an
educational campaign there would be !?
What deadly parallels with reeking,
germ-laden air pictured to the left, and
on the right the intoxicating JOY OF
mountain freshness with Blanks sys-
tenn of ventilation" 1t is another re-
minder that with all this cost of liv-
ing, one of the greatest luXuries in the
world is still free. Perhaps 1t is just
because it is free that fresh air re-
mains luxury to so many people, in
stead of being treated as the most
necessary Of all necessaries. 1t is time
to call attention to the subject now, at
the onset of winter-the season when
the uneiyilized and unhealthful tenden
cy TO bar fresh air from homes and
public buildings is strongest. Some
will object that fresh air really costs
money in cold weather-that it must
be paid for in additional fuel or cloth
ing, or both Very well! Sell yourself
some fresh air At the worst, it costs
less than doctors or undertaker's bills,
or the efficiency that comes from a
defective supply Of oxygen. Storm
windows and doors have. their value.
but they do good deal of harm in
many homes, Theoretically sealing up
the houses and forcing the occupants
to breathe the same dead air over and
over again. Doors and windows that
are leaky provided they are not too
eaky are natural yentilators, Good
air comes in on the lower floor and
goes out upstairs. If all the leaks are
stopped, there must be other ventila-
ton provided. Fresh air must be fed
into the furnace or somewhere else di-
rect from outdoors, and the used air
must be returned to the cleansing out
doors somewhere or other. 1t need not
cost any more for fuel A good sub
stitute for fuel is clothes. The Amer
lean tendency is to dress too thinly
in the winter, and then to keep houses
too hot, 1t is far cheaper and far
more healthful to keep the houses cool
er, and dress more warmly. And the
additional oxygen people will get into
their system by breathing cooler and
fresher air will help them to keep
warm Brockton Times.
