OUC0UT HOMES
FOR REFUGEES
IN OLD POLAND
Hundreds Dying Of Cold,
Starvation and
Disease

Philadelphia, March 5.-Dugouts in
the sides of hills or in embrankments
along the roads compose the only
homes of thousands of refugees in
Poland, say agents of the American
Friends Service committee who are
distributing American and other aid
in that war-devastated country.
In the Tarnopol district, in Galician
Poland over which territory the hur-
ricane of war swept dozen times,
$500 families are living in such dug
outs. writes Harry stevens, a English
Friend. who is working in Poland.
He describes the land as scanned
with trenches and disfigurcd by vast
of people are reported to be dying
from starvation, cold and disease,
They have neither live stock nor farm
ing implements. Their land was over
run by Russians, Austrians, Prussians,
Turks and Bulgarians in the world
war and afterward by the Ukrainians
and Bolsheviki. Horses cattle, poul-
try, farm tools-everythinG was taken.
The timber was cut down, their houses
burned and ever school buildings de-
stroyed.
Describing the miserable conditions
of thousands of refugees from Russia,
some of whom have walked thousands
OF miles to reach their homes in what
Is now Poland, MIR. itgyens wrote:
Their clothing was pitiful to be-
hold; Scarecrows Csn boast better.
They wore home made boots of plated
straw and an outer garment too thin
and ragged to be patched. We asked
them what they would 40 this winter
and the answer was a shake OF the
head and a hopeless I uon't know.
Mr.. Stevens found the refugees liv-
ing in duEouts. Six persons with their

his wifo were digging into l. hill be-

their home with lean-to of heavy
basket-wood and clay. While the
digging was in progress, they slept
in tho open despite the keen frost.
One family of six was living under a
canvas cover that had been the top of
their cart Another family of Is, lived
in a house 1S by feet, built into a hill
side.
Emphasizing the need of relief in
Poland, Frederick ]. Libby, writes:
Crowded into huts and dugouts, sub

bread that is made of everything but
flour; children clad for winter in the

WHEAT SACKS NINE CENTS
LABOR MUCH CHEAPER
Hay Hands Receiving Two TO Three
Dollars a Day Compared To Three
And Four Dollars Last Year.

Wheat sacks this year will sell at
between eight and nine cents 0
ing to local grain merchants who are
already anticipating the largest de-
mand for sacks In the history OF the
county This price compares quite
fayorabiy with a price of % cents a
year ago. Grain buyers are also pre-
dieting that wheat WIN open at from
soc to 81 a bushel. Some think that
the market will go higher and there
are others quoting as low as oOc a
bushel.
The labor problem is not proving
serious yet, at least, and the feeling
exists over the county that the farmers
will be able to do most OF their own
harvesting.
Hay hands now are receiving tWo
dollars, two and a half and three da'-
lars. The first crop is well along TO-
ward the stack and is yielding well.
