HORSE AND DOG
 MEAT EXPENSIVE

Omsk, Siberia, Via Vladivostok, June 2. Correspondence of the Asso- cfated Press. )-Horse meat sold at thirty roubles a pound, dog meat at twelve roubles, rye flour at twenty two roubles and potatoes at seven rou- bIes a pound in Moscow last Febru- ary, according to an American, MT. Dillon. who has Just arrived here from that city. Mir. Dillon, who rep resented a large machinery firm, left Moscow February and arrived at Omsk after many difficulties on April I2.
 A box of matches, if obtainable at all, cost fifteen roubles in Moscow, he said. A rouble before the war was normally worth fifty cents. Its value now is problematicaI owing to the vast amount of paper money which has been printed by the Bolshcvik govern ment.
 Bolshevik workmen in Moscow who can find employment receive $50 to 1900 roubles a month and, MT. Dillon said, are barely able to live through receiving special concessions in food stuff prices in Bolshevik stores. Non Bolshevikf, who cannot buy in such stores at any price are in desperate straits. There have been many cases of starvation and many suicides. There is much sickness. resulting from mal- nutrition and unsanitary conditions. Glanders is common and results from eating infected horse meat.
 The city was full of unemployed workmen when Mir. Dillon left. There were 75, 900 idle metal workers and a great number of idle textile workers. People were burning furniture to heat their rooms because of a shortage of firewood.
 Moscow, according to MT. Dillon. was half deserted. All signboards of formerly prosperous business houses had been removed after the places had been "natfonalized." Drunkenness was prohibited under penalty of death.
 There was an endless Bolshevik propaganda and proselyting was car ried on feverishly among returning Russian war prisoners from Germany. Strikes in other countries were hailed with delight and q world wide revolu- ton was represented as being in pro- gress.
 Insurrections among workmen were on the increase. The peasants were desperate over the merciless requisi- tioning of their property. Forty per cent. of the winter crop remained un- planted for lack of horses and seed. The annual partition of land among the peasants did not occur and lit tie preparation was made for spring planting railroads were without fuel except such supplies as were brought from day to day green from the for ests. All reserve supplies had been exhausted.
 Church services were being sup pressed. Factories had closed owing to lack of fuel This was true even of munitions and arms factories and there was a noticeable shortage of ri fIes and ammunition. Discipline in the army was maintained by terroristic methods but even so, mutinies con stantly occurred and assertions were frequent
 In the opinion of the narrator, al ! that was necessary to cause the early | collapse of Bolshevism was a vigor- l ous offensive by the Serbian army.

COLORADO POTATO BEETLE.

The winter is spent by the adult beetles in the ground. At the first signs of spring they emerge, and when the potato vines appear, begin feed ing. After a few days the females deposit their eggs, generally on the underside of the leaves. The eggs are yellowish in color and hatch in about a weeks time, when the larvae, or grub appears. It is this form which causes the real damage as they are heavy feeders, and if allowed to live, soon consume the entire foliage, thereby destroying the plant. Inas- much as one female is capable of lay ing over one thousand eggs, and these eggs generally all hatch. a great deal of further damage can be pre- vented by killing the adult bugs at this time of year before the eggs are laid.
 In some plots it Is sometimes worth while to pick the adults off by hand, and many a gardener finds it to be a. good investment to pay the children so much a quart for potato bugs early in the season.
 In one town in Connecticut last year, the Chamber of Commerce paid one dollar per quart for all potato bugs brought in before the larvae ap- peared, the result being that some twenty quarts were pa1O TOT uuTlnS the week that the campaign ran- Spraying with arsenate of lead is probably the most satisfactory meth cd of getting rid of potato beetles. It is safer than spraying with paris green, and it sticks to the foliage better Two pounds of powdered ar senate of lead, four pounds of paste
 dissolved in fifty gallons of water is sufficient to kill the potato bugs. This poison may be added to nicotine solu- ton or bordeaux mixture, thus saV- ing an extra spraying, and wIl not in jure the foliage, provided soap is not used. It is not necessary to spray the ert.re field when the plants are small. The most economical way is to use a con1prcssed-air Sprayer and only spray such plants as the insects are feeding on. Later, when the larvae are developing, and when the greatest amount of damage is being done, the entire field should be sprayed. There are probably two, and sometimes three generations of this pest found in Connecticut each year.-G. M- Cod ding, Eutomologist, Extension Service, Connecticut Agricultural College, Sto-rs-

WILL CONTINUE
 CHILD RELIEF

The American Relief Administra- tion, of which Herbert Hoover is Di- rector General, received yesterday from him q. cable telling of the ar engagements he had completed with Finland, F2sthonia- Lithuania and Po- land for the continuation of children's relief bureaus after the withdrawal from Europe of American aid on July first.
 These bureaus were established by the American Relief Administration to cope with the appalling conditions un- der which the childhood of Europe has lived ever since the outbreak of the great war. In one of the liberated countries the investigators of the Re lief Administration visited an instrtu- ton founded to care for children whose fathers are in America and where no bread or milk had been served for two months. Here the daily menu of the children consisted of coffee for breakfast, potato soup for luncheon, and tea and potatoes for supper.
 In another district MT. Hoovers field officers, arriving after the Rus sian retreat found many children who did not know their own names and could not therefore, be restored to their families, even if their parents were living. In one town, until the arrival of the American Relief Ad- ministration the children's diet con eitsed of bread made of bark pulp and chaff with a small portion of potato.
 An inspection tour made by Ameri- cans in an isolateI province revealed the fact that 50. coo of the inhabitants were sufferinf from typhus. In thirty villages of this district every house sheltered typhus and smallpox cases.

bility, every possible energy should be bent toward increasing the strength of the labor movement.
 Satisfying as has, been the pro- gress made in the year just closed, a vast amount of work in this direc- ton remains to be done. The greater our strength, the better will our movement be equipped to accomplish the great work that is at hand for the coming year. Now, more than ever, the thought of the world Is di- rected toward the achievement of pro- gress and the establishment of high ideals.
 "The inspiration for this trend of events has been the product of the lNRor movement and the labor move 7snt must continue to lead in this 4otion"

MAKES EFFORT
TO PUT CITY ON
HEALTH PLANE
CITY AND COUNTY AUTHORITIES
TO BE ASKED TO COMBINE FOR
A CLEANER PENSACOLA.

City and county authorities will be
asked to combine in an effort to put
tPensacoia ON solid sanitary and
health plane by DIR. w. x. Sharpe, of
the u. s. Public Health Service. The
effort shall have special reference to
the work among army and navy men
and shipbuilders.
DR.. Sharpe will meet officials of ths
local government, probably today, and
map out the plans by which the gov
ernment will make a clean city, with
the cooperation Of citizens.
For the government to put to work
here an assistant surgeon and two
expert sanitary inspectors, it is neces-
sary that the city guarantee one full
time city or county health officer at
la salary of from $4,000 to $4,000 per
annum, two or three public health
nurses who will be paid 500 per
month. and two additional local sani-
tary inspectors at $50 per month.
The government is willing to start
the organization, DR.. Sharpe said, but
1T must first be backed up by the city.

Chairman Burnett announced he
would seek a special rule to permit the
early consideration of the measure by
the house. He wants the present con-
gress to pass it because he says it ic
intended to keep immigration out, to
keep from driving Americans out of
jobs. and also to keep out the Bolshe
wiki. Amendments would permit the
admission of relatives of aliens already
admitted, also would admit persons
skilled in certain profession and oc-

Chamber of Commerce Asked by
Shipping Board to Obtain
List of Facilities
WILL FORM BASIS
OF FOREIGN TRADE
Shipping Board Wants to Know
What Foreign Steamship
Lines Are Needed.

A survey of the facilities of this
port which will cover the possibilities
for foreingn trade from Pensacola, is
requested of the Chamber of Com
merce, by the division of operations
of the U. S. Shipping Board, Emer-
gency Fleet Corporation at Washing
ton, D. c.
Statistics are to be prepared by the
local people to be forwarded to the
Washington authorities, to be used as
basis for the future use of this port
IN foreign commerce. The object of
the report is primarily to estimate the
capacity of this port for work.
The amount of the exports and i'm
ports through PenSacola to and from
the different foreign countries sep
erately for each year from 1912 to 1918,
inclusive, segregating the principal
commodities and showing the volume,
terms of cargo tons rather than their
value. is part of the information
sought.
The number of vessels sailing from,
and arriving at Pensacola in various
trades during the same period, segre-
eating the different countries and
showing the registered tonnage also
deadweight and cargo tonnage is ask
ed for.
The number of ocean lines serving
the port OF Pensacola, their ports of
call and the number of vessels COM
prising each line, from 1912 to 1918,
! inclusive.
Need More Boats?
The authorities also seek to find out
what additional liner service is need
ed at Pensacola and what territory it
would serve; periods of saiIings and
what advantages Pensacola offers in
support of such service.
Another question asked is what the
possibilities and requirements are for
developing ocean tonnage throug Pen
sacola with respect to certain classes
OF traffic, for example: what are the
prospects for movement by sea of pine
tobacco and cotton and to what mark
cts. In this connection, local views
as to the rate it would probably be
necessary to make is wanted.
The letter states that the country is
now happily nearing the time when
we can commence TO plan for the de-
velopment of foreign trade through
establishment of regular steamer lines
and to that end, information in the di-
rection of the above will be mos
beneficial.

THE
"BARKINEST"
DOG

saeola yesterday. The old Greek
was one of the most careful OBJ
servers of human and animal ma
ture, who has ever lived. With his
sapient remarks about the dog in
the manger and the sour grapes,
which, the wolf gave up with a
snari, one wonders what his opin-
ion after visiting thesession stag
ed to inquire into County Solicit
tor II. j. Mackey's "iIIegaI" acts,
at the court house yesterday. It's
safe bet that the old boy would
have had a real hot one ready for
his questioners, when they sought
his opinion after the meeting.
After all the caIumny which has
been heaped upon MIR. Mackey's
head, and all the questionable ar
ticles which have appeared, GER
tainiy the 25 or more men who
gathered at the court house yes
terday, expected to hear some real
revelations of the county solicit
tors life. He has been painted as
a DR.. JekyIi and Mr.. Hyde, until
one almost wondered that he had
the nerve to appear at the in
QUESTION yesterday. But he was
there and, as one man was heard
to remark, with bells on"
After several hours sitting and
varied from sheifish, to VINO
would be the next United States
senator, but one person mad aris-
en- to openly say anything con-
cernins the enforcement of the
Sunday closing laws. He, prom
lnent druggist, maiIgned not the
county soiIcitor, but rne laws that
tried to force a man to go to
church on Sunday. Of other COM
plants there was none.
For this reason the governor ad-
journed the meeting sine die,
shortly afternoon, announcing that
as no one had appeared to iooge
a complaint against Mr.. Macney,
he would reserve his decision un-
til a week or more after returning
to Tallahassee, so that anyone
who might have found it Impossible
to attend the hearing, could for
ward complaints in writing.
In law, wnere the prosecution
presents no case against the de-
fenoant, the Judge usually dis
misses the case or takes it away
from the jury. Law is only or
ganized common sense. One can
easily draw his own conclusions
about the probable result of the
inquisition yesterday, where no
prosecution was presented.
Not beng as wise as Aesop, The
journal attempts no pertinent COM
ment on the study of human ma
ture which the meeting afforded.
Concerning those defenders of
the "peepul's" rights, who were
largely responsible for the meeting
and who doubtless planned the
mass meeting for last night, by
unsigned communications, we ven-
ture bu one guess. Did you ever
see a bunch of fellows standing
around after a would be fight and
hear one of the bunch say:
"Why didn't you do it, Pimmy?"
You have all heard the usual
answer:
"AhI Shueks. kin lick him!"
But the comment is usually
from the kid who didn't do the
licking.
After all, as the old cracker once
said, "lt's the barkenist dog that
has the IeetIiest bite"
