pie is one of the great problems of
the au-Russian government having it's
headquarters here. Light is one of the
most urgent needs. Electricity exists
systematically in less than half the
city. The burning of an electric power
plant caused big section to depend
entirely on petroleum, kerosene and
candles. But the stock of petroleum
is almost exhausted and candles are
becoming rare.
The loss of Samara has proved a
great blow in this respect, for through
Samara from the rich petroleum dis
tricts of the Caucasus came the Omsk
supply of petroleum, oil and fats. The
lack of grease for the wheels of rail-
way cars is serious matter in con-
nection with transport, already diff

AGENT
By Miss Ellen Nelson


- = y y = y = =
There will be four Farmer Insti-
tute meetings in Seward County next
week. On April 20 a meeting will be
held in Bethel neighborhood on We'd
nesday forenoon and at Wide Awake
Wednesday afternoon. The women
will serve a basket dinner at noon at
the Wide Awake church. r
On Thursday there will be a meet
ing at Hayne and at Kismet. The
meeting at Kismet will be in the af-
ternoon and at Hayne in the evening
of April "a.
These meetings are round-table
meetings and of great value to pro-
gressive farmers.
The gardeners of Liberal are
spading up their gardens and plant
ing this week. There are about rs
children in all planting their gardens
in the community plots.
We received three prizes in Sew
ard county last year. Lorena Lease
took sixth prize and received a dol
lar, which fact we did not know I'M
til last Saturday, for she moved away
some time ago. The fact that three
state prizes came to Seward county
last year, ought to encourage the
children again this year to try to keep
up our standard and take three prizes
again. Some one from our county
will take first prize this year, we
hope.
Our next garden meeting is Mon
day afternoon, April 81.
Our bread club meets on Fridays
at 4:3O. The way our girls bake,
we know that we are going to take
several prizes in breadmaking.

who came only short distance. Red
faces and wet feet were very much

to 30 minutes, chapel was omitted
and the work completed by l o'clock.
