Nicholas Tchaikovsky. white-hair-
ed president Of the North Russian
republic, was ploughing on the Kan
sas prairies just ~ years ago
AZ Cedar Vale, near Independence.
Kan, he and 1 > fellow countrymen
owned and worked two farms during
1875 TO 1877. They constituted a
little Free" communistic commun-
ity. Their neighbors probably spoke
OF them as those Russian immi-
grants"
One of the farms is today the site
OF a rich oil well. Tchaikovsky and
his friends themselves began the
well and discovered traces of oil.
But they didn't know what it was.
As il spoiled the water. they aban-
doned the hole.
Later Tchaiskoysky spent year
visiting shaker" and other religious
settlements in New York. He work
ed two years as a labore- in the

If a borrower pays off his loan in

the debt of the association or by de-
posting another mortgage of equal
value.
The movement to establish system
of federal home loan banks was start
ed when the after-the-war revival of
building in all parts of the country
demonstrated the need of method by
which money could be realized on the
long time mortgages held by the
building and loan associations.

sToRK NEEDED IN EUROPE
That Famous Birds Of s~trasboure Have
Returned May Be Considered
Good Omen.

The storks of Strasbourg have
more than local fame. Travellers in
Europe who have visited the cathe-
dral city of Lorraine are familiar
with the long-legged birds who built
their nests in the Place de Broglie.
The people of Strasbourg looked
upon them as omens Of good luck.
The story goes that in the spring Of
1914 the storks deserted the city.
"Trouble is coming" said the old
timers as they passed the empty
nests. 1t came. For five years,
they say, there have been no storks
In the Place de Broglie; but now
they have come back.
The nests hat had fallen into dis
repair have been rebuilt, and the
old-timers say, "Trouble is over and
peace is here" as they pass now.
Europe needs the stork. The task
assigned him in legend should keep
him busy. There is much replace
ment to be done.

CHINESE BRAVES.


Some Chinese laborers in France.
who were accidentally brought under
shell fire, are said to have registered
a protest on the ground that the in-
habltants in their part of China are
divided into two classes-the braves
and the n~ot-braves. They explained
that they belonged to the not-brave
section.
1t was unfair, they said, that a
not-braye man should be called upon
to undergo dangers which were re-
served for brave men, and for the
endurance of which brave men re-
ceiyed appreciation, distinctions and
honors not bestowed upon not brave
men. This system opens up wide
possibilities, and it would be inter-
esting to inquire whether member
ship in each class depends upon in
heritance, or selection on the part
Of the individual.

OIO MUCH WORK WITH PEN
Famous Writers Of the Past Got Along
Well Without the Aid Of the
Typewriter.

An interesting question for aca-
demic debate is the probability of a
greater literary output from prolific
writers Of past generations had they
been able to avail themselves of the
aid Of a typewriter. A contributor
to a current magazine deplores the
fact that Benjamin Franklin had
no typewriter and wonders at the
vast amount Of writing he might
have done had he not been compelled
TO use the slower pen method. An
other writer doubts that the amount
Of writing would have been greatly
increased, suggesting that the time
saved probably would have been used
III thought and investigation Of the
literary subjects. Dickens wrote all
his novels with a quill. He could
have done the writing in half the
time on a typewriter and the print
ers could have saved half their time.
But in these days of the typewriter
no novelist is turning out good lit
erature any faster than Dickens did.
Thomas Jefferson left a whole
library Of his writings, put on pa
per with a pen.
