WHY IN RUSSIA ?

A very silly question, which some
people seem fond of asking, is "What
were America soldiers sent to Russia
for?" The same people who made
this Intentionally embarrassing in
terrogation would do we'll to tell US
why the Russian bolsheviki are in the
United States stirring up trouble.
As nearly everybody knows, detach-
ments of the American army were
sent to Russia for the same reason
that impelled Great Britain and
France to send soldiers there. Ever
since Russia fell into the hands Of
Lenine and Trotsky, it, or the por-
ton under control Of the two arch
traitors, has been friend Of Ger
many and an enemy Of the entente
allies. Citizens of the United States,
including our ambassador, Mr.. Fran
els, were insulted and mistreated,
and the same is true of the other in
tente Representatives in Russia. The
bolshevists signed the notorious
Brest-Litovsk treaty with Germany
and declared their hostility to the ma
tons with which the Germans were
The Liberal democrat. [volume] (Liberal, Kan.) 1911-1924, 1919-07-17

fighting. 1t is easy to see that, unless
the bolshevists were checked and aid
given to the Russian elements OPP
posed to them, the entente allies
would later find the red armies sup
porting the Germans in the field, and
the war indefinitely prolonged.
Therefore, the entente and the
United States Invaded" Russia to
the extent of hating the Lenine-
Trotsky program, and now we hear
that the bolshevists are DESTROYS of
peace. Had no entente or American
soldiers gone to Russia, the bolshe-
wiki idea would by this time have
been triumphant in that country and
a menace to the entire world.-Dro-

closed within a few years has been
no secret for some time. Officials
have been expecting something de-
finite about closing the office since
such a course was intimated several
years ago. The opening of the Kan
sas National Forest south of Garden
City and Syracuse at that time is
thought to have probably saved off
the closing, but now that tract has
been entirely settled upon, with the
exception of a few acres and altho
final proofs of some of the home
steaders there are not due for sew
eral years, it is supposed the federal
authorities decided for the sake of
economy to permit the claim-holders
to make their final proofs before
nearby clerks of the court or before
the Topeka office.

in the district served by the local Of

LAND OFFICE
AT DODGE TO BE CLOSED

Dodge City, (Globe)-First def

"Set no proofs or contests for

Register R. R. Killon interprets
the message to mean that the fed
eral institution here might be aband-
oned and probably consolidated with
the Topeka office, the solely remain
ing one in Kansas, besides the local
office. Economy in national admin

motive which prompted the COM

thought to exist.

AS most of the unsettled land is
between 800 and 400 miles from
Topeka, and the register and receiver
believes making proof at that office
would effect a hardship upon the
homesteaders, Mr.. Wilson and Mr..
Killion believe the office here could
do fairly flourishing business for
another year. The official Office has
been in existence about a quarter of
a century, and contains the records of
both the Larned and Garden City
offices, which were closed a number
of years ago because of the diminish
ing amount of public land.

Maricopa County Takes Four First Prizes = State Takes Second in Class - Showing Is Remarkably Good
[Snecial to The RepubIicanl

KANSAS CITY, Mo, Sept. 2S.-Ari- zona and Maricopa county scored a sensational success in the awarding Of prizes and judging of exhibits yester- day at the Fourteenth International Soil Proudcts exposition, which began September A at Convention hall and is now in full sway. Maricopa county's exhibit won the first prize of $500 and a s200 trophy cup for the best all round county exhibit on display at the expo sition, and the Arizona state exhibit took second prize in it's class, with massive silver cup for the most ar tistic display"
 The state exhibit, under the direction of Malcolm Fraser of Tucson, won hon. ors in the sorghums competition, talk ing third prize and a handsome silver trophy cup.
 Arizona's exhibit is the talk of the exposition, and it's artistic appearance has attracted the attention of the throngs of visitors at Convention hall in a most favorable manner. Harry Welch, Malcolm Fraser, c. E. Fauley, H. c. Heard and the other Arizonians present at the exposition lecture to the crowds in one hour relays, each one presenting a special phase of Arizona's s
  related to the advancement made int he culture of soil products.
 Many individual Arizonians have won fame with special entries at the ex- position, in addition to the extraordi- nary showing made by the state ex- hibit and the exhibit from Maricopa county.
 Will White, of the Knapp ranch at Tucson. won the worlds sweepstakes for the best bale of alfalfa, taking hon ors from a half carload of bales en- tered from such well known alfalfa states as Colorado, Nebraska, Kansas and South Dakota.
 Andy Johnson of Yuma won second alfalfa prize, making practically a clean sweep of the individual entries in the alfalfa class. Nels Lind, also of Yuma, was adjudged to have the best collec- ton of the several types of cotton and it is expected that his exhibit would win the cotton sweepstakes, although this prize has not yet been awarded.
 c. J. Wood, superintendent of the Mesa Experiment farm at Mesa, Ari- zona, won second prize in two divisions for red spring wheat. Tn the individual milo maize entries, Will White of Tue son, winner of the sweepstakes in al- falfa, won second prize There were 35 entries in this exhibit, all of them from states which have established big regulations for milo maize and are unaccustomed to losing. The good show ing made by individual entries in all classes up to date is considered re- markable.
 Harry Welch, secretary of the Phoe- nix chamber of commerce, deserves the largest measure of credit for the splen- did exhibit entered by his county. AL though no exhibits were entered either | by Maricopa county or the state of Arizona at the exposition last year, the state won third prize at Peoria, H., two years ago, the county won first prize al Fl Paso three years ago, and the state won first prize at Wichita, Kan, six years ago.
