OHIO RUSSIANS ADOPT
COOPERATIVE FARMING

In Akron, O., where unemployment
has assumed considerable proportions
several Russian workmen are attempt
ing to solve the problem of earning q
living by forming an agricultural CO.
operative or "artel." Only married
couples may join this association and
each must be prepared to invest at
least $1,5OO-$5OO for first payment
on the farm and $1,000 for stock.
With this capital they propose to
purchase about 200 acres of farm land
per member, somewhere in Ohio, and
to build upon it a Russian village,
with its own town hall, school and IL
brary. Five acres will be allotted each
member for private use, the remain
der being cultivated collectively and
all machinery and stock will be COM
mon property.
Members will not be permitted TO
withdraw from the "artel" for a period
of five years, except where one dies,
when his family will receive compen-
sation according to the value of the
property at that time. These Russians
feel great confidence in the success Of
their undertaking, for the average
Russian is born farmer and the at
mosphere of our Industrial centers Is
Sitting to him.

NEGRO HEALTH
WEEK PLANNED
FOR KENTUCKY
Y. M. G. A. Asks C0lored People OF
Kentucky TO Unite In Cele.
bratlOn Of Negro Health
Week.

The State Y. M. C. A. for Culored
Work Is asking the colored People CT
the state tonight in observing Il Ma
tional Health Week and in carrying
cut the suggestions outlined below
In doing so we are sure they will rem.
der a great service to themselves and
to their race.
Some Reason For a State Negro
Health Week.
l. The movement was founded by
the later Booker T. Washington.
2. 1t is movement in which all of
the Southern States will join.
3. 1t seeks to secure the coopera-
ton Of all the welfare agencies work
ing among the colored people.
4. 1t seeks to improve the condi-
ton of the negro along the lines of
sanitation and good health.
S. 1t seeks to improve economic
conditions among the negro by con-
serving his health as will be seen by
the following statement:
In Kentucky there are according to
Tushegee Year Book for 1919 $1,000
negroes seriously sick all the time,
the annua loss in earnings $1,500,OOO
cost of doctors bills, cts, 100000,
actual number of negro deaths $500,
funeral expenses $25O,OOO, financial
loss to state because of negro sickness
and deaths sS,SOO,OOO and estimated
annual amount that might be saved
through sanitary improvement S.
CS0 900.
Suggested Daily Program.
Sunday, April Srd. - Sermon and
Lecture Day. Health sermons and lee
lures by ministers, physicians and
others.
Monday, April 4th. - Personal Hy-
giene Day. Talks by preachers. doc
tors or nurses on personal hygiene
and cleanliness.
Tuesday, April 5th. Health Day
nthe Schools. That on or before this
day the school buildings and premises
be put in sanitary condition and that
on this day appropriate programs be
rendered to which the patrons of the
school be invited. Some part Of the
exercises of this day should be devot-
ed to concentrating of the birthday
fthe late Booker T. Washington, the
founder of National Health Week.
Wednesday, April 9th. - swat the
Fly" Day. Destroy breeding places OF
flies and mosquitoes; talks on danger
o finsect pests.
Thursday, April 7th.-- tuberculosis
Day. Talks on prevention and cure OF
tuberculosis.
Friday, April Sth. Children's
Health Day. Health program. stories
of Modern Health Crusade, parade, etc
Saturday, April 9th-General Clean
up day.
In order that the people may enter
heartily in the movement for better
health and to that end that the pro-
gram may be effectively carried out
1t is suggested that the ministers OF
all colored churches throughout the
state set aside the frat sunday ir
April as a day of prayer for bettel
health conditions and that each min
lister arrange to preach or present
some health facts to his congregation

Necessary as immigration restrc-
lions are, once in while they decree
an unhappiness which seems almost
outside of their intent. Ivan Subich
and his wife and three children, born
in Jugo-Slavia, came to America in
1918. There was no literary test in
the law at that time. Something over
year ago they went back to visit
their country now freed from the Aus
TRAN rule. The landed home" here
the other day only to learn that dur
ing their absence the literacy test had
gone into effect, and they are unable
to pass 1t. Mrs. Subich has five broth
ers here, and they have offered to pu
up 100000 worth of real estate as
bond for the family, but so far they
have been unable to gain the relaxing
Of the law. And all that the family
themselves can find to say is: "But
this Is our HOME"
Dolls for teachers. That is plan of
one educational organization here in
New York and they demonstrated the
practicability Of it at the Natural Edu-
cation Forum the other day. The dolls
are, in fact, talking machines, with
regular records installed in their in
teriors. And these records give French
lessons, lessons in English grammar
and proper enunciation, tell bedtime
stories, and do all sorts Of interesting
things. The idea is hat no child, how
ever disinterested, will fail to listen
to any thing a real doll tells her.

''Main Street Is
Presented AS
Drama

Main Street has been dramatized.
On July 18 it was presented to In
dianapolis theater-goers by Stuart
Walkers players. A reviewer of the
production declares, There is more
Broadway than Main Street in the
Harriet Ford-Harvey O'Higgins
stage rendering of Sinclair Lewis
novel and the result if not Main
Street is yet a play not uninterest-
ing and not without distinction.
Very little of the irony and the
biting realism that comes through
the piling up of minute and photo
graphic detail gets into the play. In
fact, the first act is rather closer kin
to Winchell Smiths or George Co.
hens pictures of small-town life than
to that of Sinclair Lewis.
'The whole picture of Gopher
Prairie. by comparison with the
novel, is weak.
THE adapters are more successful
in the later acts. Skillful and effec-
tive drama is here, some of it lighted
up with stray lines that give uncom-
mon reality to the characters.
"The emphasis is considerably
shifted, but the story of the novel is
pretty faithfully followed. An honest
and often fruitful effort is made to
suggest the critical undercurrent Of
the novel;"
