SLAV PEASANTS WEARY OF WAYS
 OF BOLSHEV|k|

LONDON-Russian workmen and peasants are by no means united in movement to perpetuate a dictatorship of the proletariat, ac- cording to a traveller who recently arrived here from Russia. Pretense that such is the situation in Russia is one of the efforts of the Bol- shevik propagandists.
 For many months, he says, the Moscow government has been almost wholly without peasant support for the peasants have learned that Bol- shevism in theory and Bolshevism in practice are as unlike as day and night. The people of the Russian villages and country districts are de- clared to be so bitter against the Bolsheviki that workmen who are forced to return to their native village for food dare not voice Bol- shevik doctrine for fear of being killed by their relatives or former friends.
 To the countrymen in Russia Bolshevism now means nothing but food acquisitions To him Bolshe- vik is an outsider. armed with a rifle, who takes grain at prices far below the market price
 The peasants ear is no longer open to Maximalist theories. He cares nothing for skilful Maximalist arguments setting forth beautiful social and economic doctrines He has tried Bolshevism for year. He has had much of his grain and other foodstuffs wrested from him by Bolshevik grain crusaders. He knows that the only remaining peas ant Bolshevski are shiftless neer do-wells and will have nothing to do with them
 As the peasants make up S5 per cent of Russia's population their at titude eventually may shape Russian policy, says the informant They control food production. and bread is the basis of the present struggle.
 From it's inception the Bolsheviti government depended upon travelling commissars who were shipped all over the republic in special trains and provided with armed forces which clubbed city and village gov ernments into line. When commis- sars fell under local influence and became less drastic in their methods the Bolshevk authorities at Smolny Institute withdrew them and sent others who would be more brutal in their methods.
 These methods worked for time but decreased in effectivness in di- rect proprotion to the distance from Moscow. When the disbanded army returned to the villages carrying arms and ammunition. the peasants began to initiate Bolshevik methods. They resisted with machine guns and inaugurated the movement which has limited soviet jurisdiction to less than one-tenth of the old Russian empire

 QUAINT VILLAGE

Genarel Headquarters, American Expeditionary Force, Chaumont, France.-In such spare time as their duties permit many of the officers of the American Headquarters Staff have studied the interesting histori- cal relics of this little city, which is the headquarters of the American fighting forces. While not so old as some of it's neighboring towns, nevertheless Chaumont is fertile field of investigation.
 It was once the seat and strong hold of the Counts of Champagne. On the edge of tree-clad precipice that commands a widesweep of field and forest still stands the large Tour Hautefeuille. relic of the castle of the Counts of Champagne. A massive square structure of mas onry, lichened and gray with age, it now forms one angle of the more modern Palais de Justice and is in such good condition that it is hard to realize it dates from the llth century Below it are the cells of the courthouse, and around it's base is quaint walled garden shaded by ancient trees. This was once the castle garden, and from a deep ravine a stairway tunneled from the rock leads to the old tower.
 Many of Chaumont's houses date to the Twelfth century. but next to tower Hautefeuille in interest is the Church of St Jean. Crowded in between buildings on all sides, this beautiful old edifice shows to less advantage than many newer churches and cathedrals. but few of them hold more of interest. It dates from the 18th, l5th and l6th centuries and retains exquisite monuments of each period.
 The beautiful double porch of the south portal is well known to archi- tccts and it's flamboyant Gotnis is in strong contrastto the severe Renais- sance style of the west portal. The interior ornamentation is rich and varied: the triforium in the transept being cmbelliehed with an exquisite 'cOrnice supported on corbels. The church also holds painting of St. Alexis ascribed to Andrea del Sarto. A chapel in the north aisle

that began one month ago. He was
born in London, Ontario, Sc years
ago. A widow and a brother survive

Primrose's career as a. minstrel
dates since the time of the famous
Haverly troupe. He began his stage
career when Is years old and is
credited with having originated soft
shoe dancing.
After being with the Haverly
troupe for several years, Primrose
toured the country with a company
known as Barlow, Wilson, Primrose

for many years. About sixteen years

The Country Press and the Postal
Zone Law.

The so-called zone system" now
a law until repealed, abolishes our
basic postal principles established for
more than half century. This revival
of the idea that cost must determine
the postage rate, introduces new
element of such importance to the
country newspapers of this nation
that they need to scrutinize with
great care and precision before they
bfindly support the postal zone sys-
TEN, as some of them at least seem
disposed to do.
There is no more important service
than that rendered, or which may be
rendered, the American people by the
small country newspapers. Recog,
MIXING this fact, free mail delivery
within the county of publication was
provided for the country press many
years ago. This free postal service
was never regarded as a subsidy to
the country newspapers. 1t was a
vital public service of information to
the readers, for any postal charge
would be added to the subscription
price, directly or indirectly.
The subsidy, If so it be termed
was to the readers, to the people
themselves, who pay for it in their
national taxes. The rural delivery il

Black Bass In Kentucky Streams.

A dispatch from Frankfort stated
that ]. Quincy Ward, Secretary of the
Game and Fish Committee, had been
notified that the railroads would no
longer haul free of charge the car
used in distributing young fish to the
various streams in Kentucky.
1t costs thirty cents mile to haul
this car and the State Committee, it
was announced, is without funds now
to defray the cost of sending the car
through the State Immediately. 1t
is to be hoped that the fishermen of
the commonwealth and the State Off
Gals will soon find some way of
financing this very necessary public
service.
Kentucky has a number of streams
that are peculiarly suited for the
propagation of food and game fish. In
some of them the small-mouth black
bass finds it's natural habitat, and
Doctor Henshall says that Inch for
inch. the small-mouth black bass is
the gamest fish that swims," Cum
berland river, the branches of the up
per Kentucky, Rockcastle, Dicks and
Green river, Stoner creek, and some
of the smaller streams, with rocky,
gravelly beds, deep holes. lodges,
rapids and eddies, furnish to
this king of the streams the very sort
of breeding and feeding ground that
he best thrives in. With proper care
and protection these rivers and
creeks should furnish to the fisher
men of the State as fine sport as can
be found anywhere on the continent
of North America.
In some of the rivers enemies of the
small-mouth black bass abound, it is
true. In the Cumberland, for ex-
ample, the wall-eyed pike, sometimes
called salmon" interferes with the
sport of fishing for the bass, and in
other streams the German carp
destroys the spawn of the game fish,
but with all this the bass is pretty
well able to take care of it's own if
given reasonable opportunity by
mankind>to increase and grow in size.
There is not as much dynamiting
in Kentucky as there once was, and
the restocking of the streams more
frequently than formerly has helped
to make fishing better in most of the
streams that have come under the
care of the game wardens, but we
have not yet come to proper realiza-
ton of our duty to this field of out
door recreation. Every year hum
dreds of Kentucky Fishermen, at
great cost and trouble, seek sport in
distant regions north and south,
which might be found at home if we
were provident enough to take care

for the benefit of the country news
paper reader.
Now, the latest Official report of
the Post Office Department shows
that the annual cost per newspaper
on Rural Free Delivery routes is IA
cents per piece. AS the country pa
pers weigh approximately ten or
eleven to the pound, this would mean
a minimum postage charge on coun-
try newspapers of fourteen cents per
pound.
The First Assistant Postmaster
General last year, testifying before
a Senate Committee, stated that the
Overhead" on every pound of news
paper mail was 3.8 cents per pound.
Therefore, on this new rule of postal
Cost" the country press of the ma
ton will have to face the terrific to-
tai postage charge of almost eigh-
teen cents per pound.
OF course, no country publisher
can afford a postage charge of eigh-
teen cents a pound. He must pass
this charge on to his subscribers, re-
ducing thereby his circulation.
This overturn of postal principles
in existence for over fifty years will
impose a very great injustice upon
the country newspapers and their
readers. The rural delivery is the
most expensive and least profitable
of all the postal departments and
therefore the revival of this old post
al theory will put upon the country
press of America the highest rates
of postage in the land.
