Soviet Leaders Will Take Figures to
Peace Conference at Paris.

Helsingfors, February 25-Informa-
ton reaches your correspondent from
Petrograd that on Saturday at a Sc
cret sitting the Soviet commissioner
Of the interior Lissovzky, reporting on
the effects of civil war, declared that
I'D to January /, the number of per-
sons shot by orders Of the extraordi-
nary commission did not exceed 49,
700 No record was made of the num-
bers shot in small towns and villages
as the local authorities avoided all
bureaucratic methods and often acted
on simple intuition. Lissovzky the
commissioner concluded:
with these figures in our hands we
are going to the conference with the
representatives of the Entente govern
ments and shall show the whole world
that the so-called Russian civil war
has cost many less human lives than
one small battle of the lmperialistic
war"
The general Bolshevist situation is
being complicated by the exhaustion
Of reserves of paper necessary for The
continuation of their propaganda. The
official organ of Petrograd, the Pra-
vda, utters a cry of alarm and admits
the whole Bolshevist press will cease
to exist in April because the paper re-
serves in possession of the Soviet Is
only 9,64O tons. while the minimum
required to assure the continuation Of
the press to July 1 is more than &c.
400 tons. The importation of paper
from Finland and esthonia has entire
ly ceased, while the amount produced
within Russia is negligible.
Petrograd reports also say that the
wife of Radek, leader Of the Bolshe-
visits in Germany has been arrested In
Switzerland. The Bolshevists declare
that 10 Swiss subjects in Russia will
be shot March Is unless before that
late and Nine. Radek is released.

GRANNIS IS OPPOSED TO
N.PARTISAN JUDICIARY
CommOnwealth's Attorney Of This
District Says Two Party Politics

Thomas B. Cromwell, the Cincinnati

spondent, is each week carrying let
ters from Judges and Commonwealth
Attorneys giving their ideas OF a nom
partisan judiciary.
This week Attorney B. S. Grannis,
Of this district expresses his opposi-
ton to the plan in the following man
ner:
81 am not in favor of the nonpar-
tisan election of Judges or any other
officers. Since the eight or seven

sy between two gentlemen by the
names of Hayes and Tilden, when l
was boy, have observed these So
called nonpartisan tribunals and
never have known a Democrat to
cease to be Democrat or Republic
can to change his faith by reason OF
being so selected.
Besides, the history of political
trials in Kentucky does not warrant
the implied assumption that Judge
is more likely to decide in favor of his
political friends. Indeed, my obser-
vation and experience is that there is
greater danger that Judge would dc

Boche shells and other projectiles
that we were forced to recommend
him for Distinguished Service Cross.

The onion thrips is an insect so
small that 1t is almost invisible to the
unaided eye, but 1t is prolific, and the
most serious menace to the onion
growing industry of this country. 1t
causes an annual loss to this crop
alone estimated by specialists of the
U. S. Department of Agriculture to be
at least $2.25O,00O. Though the insect
has particular liking for onions, it
preys upon other garden and truck
crops, such as cabbage, cauliflower
cucumbers and melons, and also has
ravenous appetite for greenhouse
and many ornamental plants particu-
larly roses. To aid growers in identi-
flying this insect and preventing the

SETTING GALVANIZED STEEL
CORNER AND END POSTS

Be certain that the bottom Of the
post hole is larger than the top of
the hole, which will keep the concrete
block from pulling out.
Steel end posts should be provided
with brace rod. Without disturbing
the concrete about the end post, slip
the brace over the brace connection,
rest the end Of the brace on the ground
and make mark two or three inches
nearer the post than the end of the
brace. This mark will be the end of
the brace block hole next the post.
Dig another hole 18 by 20 inches deep
or a little bigger and little deeper, If
the ground is soft and yielding. This
is important because this brace block
must be made solid to Withstand the
heavy pressure, as it carries practical
ly all the strain.
After digging this hole, fill it with
concrete, level with the surface Of the
ground, attach the. brace to the post
connection, attach the brace foot, and
press down in the concrete until It is
buried two or three inches below the
surface; then let it alone until thor
oughly set.
The brace collar should be placed
about IA inches from the top Of the
post and the nut turned up very tight.
The collar must not slip. Do not be-
gin stretching your fence wire until
the concrete is perfectly set and hard.

National Crop Improvement eervice.l
After the ground has been thorough.
ly 1eveled SO that the bottom of the
fence shall rest snugly against the
ground at the lowest points, the next
step is to dig holes for end posts and
corner posts. Under ordinary condi-
lions, with soil fairly firm and not too
wet, the hole for the galvanized steel
end post may be in size Is by 20
inches, the longer dimension being
parallel with the fence line. Set the
post not less than three feet deep, or
even deeper, If the post will admit
being more than three feet in the
ground, while leaving enough above
ground to carry the fence.
Corner posts under normal condi-
lions, require hole whose dimensions
are 20 by 20 inches, and not less than
three feet deep.
Posts should not extend above the
top wire of the fence more than two
Inches. After digging the hole for the
end post, make mark on the post to
show how far the posts should be. set
In the ground. That is, leave enough
OF the post out of the ground to take
the entire width Of the fence and two
inches more at the top.
Put the post in the middle of the
hole snd fill the hole with concrete.
Level with the surface of the ground,
making sure the mark on the post is
level with the surface.
