GOLD DEPOSITS IN SIBERIA
Land Known - Dc Enormously Rich
Awaiting Development Under q
stable Government

Some time In the future. when III,
life Of Siberia follows an orderly
course under q stable government
there will doubtless be q developments
of the gold resources of the OkhotsS
district, where, so 1t has been said
the "rivers have golden bottoms" Gold
Is being mined In the Okhotsk district
but only In primitive fashion. Last
winter a "zolotnik" of gold, or, In
English. .137147 ounce troy. was worth
20 rubles, but 1t has now risen in
value In the present currency Of Rus
sia to about 100. Even in primitive
way many Of the deposits are not be
Ing worked, and the method by which
some Of the gold Is exported to Ia.
pan Is equally primitive. A japanese
vessel with fishing concession comes
from Japan loaded with articles for
trade. and these are exchanged for
furs and gold. The fishing vessel then
returns to japan. carrying the gold
and furs II has received for its mer-
chandise. With mining carried on sys-
tematically gold-producing region
that covers hundreds Of square miles
would be yielding the precious metal
but such operations are OF course out
Of the question until stable govern
mant Is established.

HAL. SMITH WARNS
AGAINST BOLSHEvISM

Hal H. Smith, of Detroit, in a re-
cent address before the Retail Dry
Goods Dealers Association, In
Grand Rapids. begged his listen
ers not to be led astray by any of
the plausible socialistic arguments
that are current today. He said:
Russia Is not the only place where
socialistic tendencies are thriving:
they show their head in America as
well.
1.-THE Red doctrines have no place In
America. Our democratic institutions
are further from sooialistic doctrine
than the institutions of any country In
the world. Our laws are all framed to
protect the individual in his right to
acquire property. Socialism declares
that the individual should not have
property. It would destroy private
property. It wants communal proper
Il y.
THAT Is un-American. Every Amer.
lean institution stands .or the per-
petuation Of private property. A mans
home II his castle. The whole fabric
Of the law guards him In 1t and
guards 1t so that he may use it,"
Mr.. Smith. who IL candidate for
Republican national committeeman,
has devoted great deal of his time
to discussion of socialistic doctrines
and un-American propaganda and is
well known for his intense opposi-
ton to all forms Of destructive radical
thought. He believes In meeting the
workman more than halfway, but not
with charity. Rather, he says, should
the workman have every opportunity
to better himself. This can be ac-
complished by stimulating all means
Of education, liberalizing factory aCts
and safe guarding the laborer in ev.
Dry way.

Fifteen POINTS
IN WILGUS CODE
University of Michigan Law Profes-
sor, in Laudng Gen. Wood, Gives
Convincing Reasons.
FINDS HE Is WELL BALANCED.

who is your candidate for pres
dent?
Horace l.. Wilgus, professor OF law
at Ann Arbor university, answered
that question, put to him on the camp
Us recently, with fifteen reasons be-
hind his answer-and used up only
$50 words framing them--a record
Tor distinguished brevity.'
Here are the fifteen reasons as he
gave them, after answering Leonard
Wood:
81. He Is a man Of action.
"2. A man Of practical vision.
"3. Has made good in everything
be has undertaken.
a. What he says can be under
stood by everybody, and in only one
way"
"5. He has had wide and extra
ordinarily successful administrative
experience, involving both budgets
and notwithstanding savage Moros,
oppressed Cubans and disgruntled
strikers-and he won all. Men are
more than budgets.
"6. He has an unusual personal
knowledge of the people Of all sec
lions Of the United States, both con
tinental and insular.
"7. He Is not stand-patter, an
irreconcilable or a radical, but pro
gressive who will meet our great prob
lens without abandoning fundamental
American principles and policies.
IS. He is big enough to call the
biggest men in the country to his aid
in the public service.
80. He studies every problem with
tireless energy, and is not content till
every source CT information is eG
hausted.
40. His military knowledge anC
experience are likely to be of the
greatest value in formulating zane
safe and reasonable policies for thu
immediate future.
I'll. He has the courage to stand
speak and act for his country's we
fare without reference to his own aG
vancement, or indignities heaped o.
him.
"12. He is American through an
through, and believes in the squar
deal for everybody.
"13. For years he has been a clos
student of world affairs, and when h
went to the Philippines made an e.
haustive study of colonial system
and of oriental conditions.
IA. Like an honest man, he Is {
avowed candidate from the beginnin
He places his life record before u
public and challenges his enemies
do their worst He does not have
keep it dark so that an uninstruct,
convention can be stampeded into
support. He Is not the candidate
any party dictator. he does not ha,
to await the fate OF the League of N
tions treaty to know to what party
belongs. He has always known
own political mind.
"i6. He does not live In nubibu
nor Ia he afflicted with megalomsnia.

WOOD LEADERS
SUPPORT HAYS
w. Cooper Proctor Says His Organize.
Has No Quarrel With Republican \
National Chairman.

Chicago, Ill.-Rumors that support
ers of General Leonard Woods candi-
dacy for president plan to unseat
Chairman Will Hays of the Republican
national committee after the party's
candidate has been named, were Wig
orously denied at the Wood League
national headquarters here.
w. G. Proctor, president of the Ma
tional Leonard Wood league, charac-
terized the rumors as false, unbound
ed and unfair"
mo such thought ever entered the
minds Of any Wood supporter he
said. Instead, everyone connected
with the Wood campaign appreciates
the great progress the party has made
with Hays as national chairman.
IT say for General Wood that he,
nominated, will gladly trust his candi-
dacy to the hands Of Chairman Hays"

TIMBER NEEDED By FARMER
Profitable to Utilize Home Resources,
Providing WoodIot Has Been
Properly Cared For.

The foremost purpose Of farm wood
lands is to supply firewood. posts,
rails, poles and rough building lumber
for the maintenance and Improvement
Of the farm. Often some timber is
needed at once for building or repairs,
and procuring 1t from town or nearby
farms means delay and unnecessary
expense. In such instances forestry
specialists of the United States de-
partment Of agriculture point out, It
is profitable to utilize the home re-
sources, providing the farm woodland
has been properly cared for and Its
wealth has not been wasted.

HOW MODEL PLANE NAY

ACTUAL FLIGHT IS MADE.
We're ara some bits q advice
for model plane builders and
flyers, written by Fl. q Ellis, an
expert on such things. for the
Everyday Engineering Maya
zine:
To test the model, first wind
its motor up about half the num-
Der Of revolutions ordinarily
used and then launch from the
hand against the wind.
II the model exhibits a ten
dency to dive, 1t shows that II
is head heavy; that Is to say,
there is not enough lift In front.
This is easily corrected by slid
ing the main plane forward to
increase the lift in front.
If, on the other hand, the
model climbs too much, 1t shows
that IL is tail heavy, In which
case just the reverse procedure
Is used. e., shifting the main
plane back to increase the lift
In the back.
II the model tips over side
ways, either to the right or left,
it is probably due to the torque
or twisting tendency of the pro-
peller or faulty alignment of
the main planes, tail-plane or
rudder, or, in the case Of a dou-
BILE propeller machine, one pro-
peller being wound up more
than the other. This cannot be
the fault il a double winder is
used, as both prOpellers are
turned the same number Of rev.
oluti0ns.
To correct this tipping and
swerving sideways 1t Is only
necessary to increase the angle
Of the main plane on the side
that the model tips over, or
swerves. This Is done by bend
ing the rear corner of the low
wing down and bending the rear
corner Of the opposite wing up
ward a bit. This corresponds
to warping the planes in a large
machine. Adjust rudder to turn
machine to the other side.
