 The approachment of food as we'll as the relative proximity to the mili- tary headquarters, apparently is a vii tai factor in maintaining soviet sup port. Everywhere through Siberia one hears stories that the peasants are refusing to plant their fields or raise stock because of repeated ac- quisitions. Throughout the central part of this eastern region where the military oppression has been large ly eliminated, efforts are being made to establish card systems for the exchange of manufactured goods in return for agricultural products.
 The government leaders urge filth fitness and sacrifice on the pact of the people until they can end civil war and financial aggression by military victories. They asert any failure which may have attended their efforts to thoroughly establish the soviet program has ben due to
 baskwardness on the part of the Russians or to foreign interference In Omsk, center of the Siberian
 grain districts, there is at present
 shortage of bread, which generally : is not due to scarcity of grain. Re.
 ports indicate it is the result of g
 boycott conducted against the gov 1 ernment by the peasants because
 they are not satisfied with the re
 turns they receive in exchange fol l products. The situation, consequent lily has resulted in a shortage o.
 clothing and other manufactured
 products and textile machinery fo1

 In recent 4,O00-mile trip across the entire country from Vladivos- tok to the Finnish border, the Asso- ciated Press correspondent observed that the soviet support diminished with the increasing distance from the capital at Moscow, where the su- preme flats for ironclad militarism are isued.

SEEK TO SUPPLY

Chicago, III. Aug. 14-The work of supplying books to vessels on the Great Lakes, undertaken by the Amer ican Libary Association this summer will be financed in the future by con- tributions, said Carl H. Milan secret ary of the association today. "We are doing this work with money in hand," he said. "and this will last only a few months. We are hoping to per suade the owners of vessels and any others are interested, to contribute to the American Library association, so that the work may be carried on in- definitely.
 Eventually, when the work thor ,ougly organized, we expect the owner of vessels to assume a large part in the direct management of the mer- chant marine libraries"

 How to Remove Easily.

Here's a chance, Miss Freckle- face to try remedy for freckles with the guarantee of reliable concern that it will not cost you penny unless it removes the freckles; while if it does give you a clear complexion the ex- pense is trifling.
 Simply get an ounce of Othine- double strength-from any druggist and a few applications should show you how easy it is to rid yourself of the homely freckles and get beauti- ful complexion. Rarely is more than one ounce needed for the worst case.

U. s. Now Taking
 Census of Seals

Washington, Aug. 14.-The annual census of the seals. now being taken by the Bureau of Fisheries is ex- pected to show about 600,000 of the animals, or three times as many as when the government undertook the custody of them h., score years ago.
 Although the seal spends much of its life at sea, it's habits make the census taking comparatively easy. Hugh M. Smith, commissioner of the Bureau of Fisheries, explains the "count of noses" is of importance to prevent "blind killing" of the ani- malls for their furs, possibly result ing in their extinction.
 Under present government control, MT. Smith asserts that the seals are increasing about ten or 12 per cent of their number annually. sLast years count showed 550,000 of which ..26, ,O0O were killed for their belts. In the middle of Boring sea, lying 40 miles apart, are two islands-St. i George and St. Paul-the only land to which the seals ever resort. Every
 spring they visit the islands to raise their young, leaving in the fall to winter in the north Pacific, and it is during the summer that the cen
 sus is taken.
 1 The killing of the animals is also l done in the summer, this law being confined to the surplus males. Last year lack of labor resulted in 10000 i fewer animals being killed than gov
 ernment officials had planned. Ja- pan and Great Britain, along witt
 the United States, share the revenue
 produced from the seal-kill, a treat, giving this country seventy per cent 5 of the animals, with the other two
 countries each receiving 15 per cent
 "In the old days," says MT. Smith ,f"when 10000 eseals were being kill
 ed annually the government obtain
 ed $1O per skin, while now we arc getting $40, which nets us abou i $12O per skin. Increases in the valu' I of furs and the different method o1 conducting the business explain! ;, this."
 i Besides the sale of belts, the gov i ernment is operating a fertilizer plant on the islands for disposine li of the carcase, from which there |

While IL seems to be In order to

That loans be made to service and
ex-service men taking out war risk
insurance up to, say, ten times the
amount of the insurance premium
they have paid or may pay In, with
an assignment of the policy to assure
repayment OF the loan to the Govern
ment. No interest to be charged and
applications for loans to be approved
only I'm case of urgent necessity or
the legitimate purpose. say, OF buying
home or investing the loan for
profit. This would be OF great eco

probably would greet with Joy a sub
stantial cash bonus TO some millions
