Supreme Council Decides To Offer
Slavs Medicines, Machinery
and Other Supplies.
NO CHANGE IN POLICY
Payment To Be Made In Grain and
Flaxseed Of Which Russia Has
Surplus-Exchange Of Goods
On Reciprocity Plan.

Washington. - Reciprocal inter-
ing foodstuffs, between the Russian
people and Allied and neutral coun-
iris, has been decided upon by the
Supreme council.
The decision, announced through a
communique made public by the State
department, provides that facilities
will be afforded the Russian cooper
ative organizations to import clothing,
medicines, agricultural machinery and
other necessaries, in exchange for
grain, fax and other goods of which
Russia has a surplus.
Exchange of Goods Planned.
Permission for the exchange of
goods, the Supreme council asserts, i'm
plies no change in the policy of the
allied and associated powers toward
the Russian soviet government. Meth
er does it, as interpreted by officials
here, amount to the raising Of the
blockade, which has been maintained
by the allied and associated govern
ments since soon after the Bolsheviki
seized control of the Russian govern
ment.
The Supreme councils communique
follows:
with a view of remedying the un-
happy situation Of the population of
the interior of Russia, which is now
deprived of all manufactured products
from outside Russia, the Supreme
council, after having taken note of the
report of committee appointed to
consider the reopening of certain trad
ing relations with the Russian people,
have decided that it would permit the
exchange of goods on the basis of reci-
procity between the Russian people
and allied and neutral countries.
No Change of Policy.
For this purpose it decided to give
facilities to the Russian cooperative
organizations, which are in direct
touch with the peasantry throu ghout
Russia, so that they may arrange for
the import into Russia of clothing,
medicines, agricultural machinery, and
the other necessaries of which the Rus
sian people are in sore need, in ex-
change for. grain, flax. ETC., of which

Attractive Window Filling Adds Great
Iy to Appearance Of House,
Both Inside and Out.

When winter compels us to bring in
our goldfish and water lilies from our
water garden and to tuck our roses in
under warm oTercoats and to mulch
the beds in the regular garden, we do
not cease to garden. For indoors we
have our window or winter garden.
1t is part of the life of the hOme-an
essential part, we hold. 1t might we'll
be named 'Everywoman's Conserva-
tory" because there is nothing in it
but what can be grown by every wom-
an, and vet it is satisfying and beau
tiful always. Every country or sub
urban home can have one as good or
better, at small cost and in return for
little care.
Our winter CIR window garden is
part Of our living room. which faces
south. The room is lighted by a dou-
BILE window, sash dimensions Of the
usual household size. There is slight
division between the two sections of
the double window.
A teachable carpenter did the work
readily from our rough ideas. The lit
tie bit of summer that we keep with
us through the winter is contained in
q tiny conservatory, which is support
ed by strong wooden brackets and so
set against the house that it incloses

sash Of our double window.-Estelle

New York.-Chance alone caused
the castle Of the bogus Marquis Ed
mond Rousselot di Castillot" to top
pie over, after he had captivated the
beauties of New York city with his
brilliant uniforms, secured loans from
wealthy men and contracted bills at
the Waldorf-Astoria and other famous
hostelries amounting to thousands of
dollars. His success at issuing bogus
letters, decorated with the coats Of
arms of imaginary estates in France
and Spain, and intimate correspond
ence with the king Of Spain, all his
own handwriting, gained him admis-
sion, not only to the leading homes Of
Americans in the metropolis, but en-
trance to military clubs and organiza-
tions.
Went Step Too Far.
Emboldened by his success, which
included masquerading in the uni
forms Of various French regiments,
all made to his order by New York
tailors, the marquis" conceived the
idea Of conducting negotiations be-
tween New York bankers and Spanish
authorities, by which Spain was to
enter the war on the side of the allies,
and was succeeding fairly we'll when
the state department decided to take
hand.
When the subject of the loan was
broached to the bank by Rousselot,
who had been introduced properly by

bank communicated Immediately with

Protect Fruit Trees From Rodents.
Thousands of young fruit trees are
annually injured and many are killed
by mice and rabbits that gnaw the
trees just above the ground. Frequent
iy young trees are completely girdled.
This trouble can be largely avoided by
protecting the lower part Of the tree
trunk by banking it with earth late in
the fall or by wrapping the trunk with
building paper or even old newspaper.
Wood veneer and wire mesh tree
guards may be purchased in the mar
ket. One or more of these precautions
ought by all means to be taken as a
means of protecting the young tree.

Saturday Evening Post Prints Story
by Kansas Governor, Accompanied
by Picture of Author in His MAR
tiaI Suit

Honor among great men is some
times cattered-especially where
there is a confusion of names. Now
William Allen White, Kansas author
editor, is sharing some Of the glory
which has fallen to the lot of Gov
ernor Henry ]. AlIen-just as Allen
won a number of votes of men and
women who thought they were sup
porting the author of Whats the
Matter With Kansas" and other
gems.
This week Governor Allen contrib
utes to the Saturday Evening Post an
article about the coal strike and the
new Kansas Industrial court act. I'm
der the caption. Substitute for
Strikes" is the Kansas governor
story dealing with state operation of
coal mines in the Pittsburg. district,
the special legislative session and en-
actment of the labor court law. But
there will be many smiles among Kan
sans who recognize William Allen
Whites picture in the story under the
quotation, 1T is time for the STATES to
assume responsibility"
The quotation is from Governor
Aliens story. White is aforementioned.
So the big magazine uneonsciously
played another practical joke on the
governor by printing his story with
Whites picture.
White and Governor Allen are the
warmest of bosom friends. White is
the most ardent of the boosters of
Allen for president. He spent several
months with the governor in Red
Cross service in France. And it is
Whites picture in his Red Cross uni
form which appears in the Post story.
1t was after their service overseas that
White got into the Allen. governor
ship campaign with both feet.
Largely to boost the Allen cause in the
gubernatorial fight, White wrote his
Martial Adventures of Henry and
Me" The book went on the market
in the early weeks of the campaign,
was a big seller and doubtless meant
many votes for Allen, who had return
ed to France.
Many Kansans are said to have
voted for Governor Allen believing
they were voting for White. On the
other hand many persons give the
Kansas governor credit for literary
contributions by the Emporian. Like
wise white shares Governor Aliens
glory as an after dinner orator. White
receives letters addressed to Henry
Allen White and Governor Aliens mail
often contains letter for William Hen
ry Allen. Now the story of the indus
trial court act is printed under the
governors name, but accompanied by
