BUILT UP POLISH INDUSTRIES
Russia's Expulsion of Jews From Mos
cow Had Results Unforeseen by
MUscoVite Statesmen.

An odd bit of commercial history
comes to light with the granting of
citizenship to Jews in Poland. and
shows how Russia. in expelling the
race from Moscow, provided Poland
with a human factor of great impor-
lance in developing her own industrial
resources, the Christian Science Mon
itor recalls. Politically Poland lay
helpless in the grip of her powerful
neighbor resisting as best she might
that neighbours determination to de-
stroy the last vestige of Polish ma
tfOnal existence. Industrially, on the
other hand, her coal and iron ore dis
tricts had developed Polish centers of
manufacture superior to those Of Rus
STA, but dependent for succor on the
sale of their products in Russian mar
ketS. Jews came from Moscow who
were familiar with Russian trade con-
dftions. had already established per-
sonal trade relations with Russian cit
les, and were admirably fitted to de-
velOp commercial program between
the two countries. These men became
the natural Intermediates between
Poles and Russians in business, and
their expulsion from Russia is doubt
less one reason for the prosperity of
Polish industries at LODI, Warsaw and
Petrokov.

SHEEP HERDER WELL HOUSED
Compact, Comfortable Dwellings Pro-
Vided for Those Who Tend the
Herds on Western Plains.

Just at present the sheep herder's
lot is a fairly happy one. Frank R.
Arnold writes in Popular Mechanics
magazine. He gets 800 a month be-
sides his expenses, and one never can
see his sheep wagon without wanting to
leave civilization for few months and
take to the range. 1t is the most
compact dwelling house on wheels that
has ever been devised For utilizing
all possible space it can give lessons
even TO a dining car or a SaiIbOat It
is dining car and sleeping car in one,
and historically forms a permanent
link between western pioneers days,
when every one Travelled in a prairie
schooner. and automobile days when
the sheep wagon is used only to follow
the herd during the winter and spring
until it disappears up on the high sum-
mer range. where only a saddle horse
can penetrate.
The wagon. which for months is
thus the home of two sheep herders,
has long, narrow body, to give free
dom to the wheels, but above the
wheels it flares out enough to give a
broad room with benches along both
sides. 1t has three coverings of can
vas for greater warmth in winter and
a stove screwed to the floor near the
front door The back part of the can
vas covered space serves as bedroom,
containing nothing but bed, to which
air is supplied by sliding glass win
dOws TO the rear end of the wagon
Attached to the bed is a folding table,
and under it are small drawers and a
large bin to contain the herder's sup
ply of four and grain.

Eldorado, Oct. 3O.-In a speech
yesterday to the Eldorado Chamber of
Commerce, Phil E. Zimmerman, field
secretary of the Kansas Anti-Bolshe-
vik organization, paid his respects to
the professors of the intellectual
cootie" type that infest so many of
our schools and colleges. He told of
receiving q letter from student of
Kansas University who requested in
formation about the Nonpartisan
League in order that he might in
diligently meet the arguments of his
professor" who was teaching that
sort Of thing to the students.
Zimmerman also told of the alleged
tabor college" established in Tope-
ka by Townley agents. He likewise
told of the action of the directors of
Bethany College, at Lindsborg, who
officially threw open the halls of the
college for the dissemination of
Townley propaganda; and of the big
Nonpartisan League mass meeting
held in the college auditorium, the
speakers of the occasion being two
Socialist soap-boxers who had been
recently driven out of Beatrice, Neb.,
by returned soldiers. He further
stated that the college president pre-
sided over this meeting, introducing
the Socialists.
Zimmerman emphatically asserted
that Townley is methodically at
tempting to get control of the educa-
tional system of Kansas, as in Da-
kota, in order that MARKHAM Social
ism may be taught the coming gen.
Grafton.
Zimmerman's address was we'll re
