THE SOvIETs FINISH.

Coming from less known authority than Prof.
Paul Milukov the prediction that the bolshevik
downfall in Russia ia a matter Of months would
be greeted with great deal Of skeptcism. The
longevity of the dictatorship has continued to
prise and puzzle the world, but Prof. Mukov says
its end is drawing and the final blow to the
autocracy of Lenne is TO be delivered by the famine
The bolshevh into power through prom
Uses and have retained It through making them
selves feared Now famine has come as the culmi-
nation of the years of misrue. The people, accord
ing to Prof, Mukov. realize that this widespread
calamity is not incident, but direct consequence
of bolshevk maladminstraton. 1t be traced
definitely to the confiscaon of crops and farm
chinery the discouragement Of private initiative
and the utter breakdown Of the nations transporta
ton and agencies of distribution.
The people of other countries who have been
responding generously to Russa's need should
realize that while the experiment in practical social
ism has been terribly hard that unfortunate land,
1t has provided object lesson which should servo
a danger signal to others from such per-
nicious course. It should be long time before any
other country makes such colossal mistake as
that which has ruined Russia.

The American Red Cross is the one organiza-
ton which has never been called upon to make an
explanation of its stewardship to the public. Its
affairs are conducted in manner that commands
the highest respect and inspires the fullest conf
dence in its ability to handle economically and eff
fectvely any situation which presents itself
Much of the work which is being done by the
Red Cross is for the former service men who are
still unable to take up the work laid down to enter
tn, service of their country This relief work will
be necessary until governmental agencies are oper-
ating in effective in the interests of the
soldiers OF the world war
The American Red Cross is doing wonderful
work in carrying relief and cheer to many thousands
in Russia and other sections Of Europe This relief
work will be necessary for many months and Am
ercan money will be required in large sums II the
work is to succeed.
In the interests OF the needy who are being
sought out abroad by the American Red Cross anu
for the benefit of those persons at home who ara
the victims of untoward conditions, the Red cross
makes its plea for re-enlstments in the army OF
contributors to this gracious work. May 1t never
be said of the Red Cross that 1t had to beg Tor the

clence, it has always been of aid going out
from here
Today, while there calls for relief from mil

ceived fresh notice, especially as
domestic arrivals remained small.
Meanwhile London reports told of
activity in buying by Japanese and
of unfavorable crop conditions in
Argentina. In addition. there was
gossip that all the cheap hard win

MERGING TWO HOLIDAYS.

The suggestion that the United States combine
Armstice day and Thanksgiving day national
holiday worthy OF serious consideration. The
increasing number of holidays is interfering with
industrial and business activities There is proba d.

Armistce day a peace observance for the world,
marking the turning point of international history
Thanksgiving is the holiday that is designated
by proclamation of the president of the United
States, and by custom is observed on the last
Thursday Of November.
One Of the arguments produced for the pro-
posed combining of the two holidays is that Thanks

and merchants find that little holiday trade may
be expected until after Thanksgiving. Fixing the

some washing. I know how to
put the clothes into the tub, with
some soap and water, sozzle them
around and hang them out"
"Oh, but you must blue them
put them in blue water or they'll
be all Yellow" cried Nurse Jane.
BLUE they shall be-I'll make
them as blue as the summer sky!"
sang Uncle Wiggily.
ooh, but not too blue!" begged
Nurse Jane. mot too blue!"
Come, come! Toddle on!"
laughed the bunny. Leave the
washing to me. Toddle on"
SO Nurse Jane, with many a sigh
and shake of her whiskers. tod
died on to help Mrs. Longtail, the
mouse lady. while Uncle Wiggily
made himself ready to do the
washing.
II just know he won't sozzle the
clothes enough, or he'll get the
water too blue or something" said
the muskrat lady. But suppose
I can wash them over. and I must
help with the church sociable."
Now we'll see what Uncle Wig
gily did. Nurse Jane had the
clothes all picked up for him, and
he carried them to the laundry and
tumbled them into a tub. Then
he ran on some hot water and put
in some soap.
Now for the sozzling." cried the
bunny rabbit, as he rolled up his
sleeves and dipped his paws into
the soapy water to rub the clothes
up and down on the board. But,
just as he was about to do this the
door of the bungalow opened and
voice cried:
what is going on here?"
For a moment Uncle Wiggily
was frightened, but when he saw
a big white, shaggy fur-covered
creature. with jolly face, the
bunny answered:
"Oh, hello, Mr.. Whitewash!
Come hight in, my dear old Polar
Bear friend. You may see me
wash the clothes" And he told
about Nurse Jane going out.
"Ha! I'll do more than see you
wash the clothes. I'll help you!"
roared the Polar Bear in his jolly.
frosty voice. "Off with your shoes
and socks"
What for?" asked the bunny.
"We'll get right in the tub with
our paws and jump up and down
on the clothes. That's the only
way to wash them That's how
always wash my clothes!' laughed
the Polar Bear. "Off with 'em!"
So Uncle Wiggily took off his
shoes. and so did the Polar Bear
gentleman, and then they hoped
up into the tub of clothes and be-
gan dancing together. Splash,
splash! went the soap water and
the clothes were sozzled as they
never were before. as Mr.. White
wash sang:
up and down we dance!
Round and round we prance!
Well wash these clothes.
For, goodness knows,
It is our only chancew
Nurse Jane came back, Just as
Uncle Wiggily and Mr.. Whitewash
were dancing their hardest, splash

floor.

I ed In the government coal ratings
Of valuations in Colfax county as
high as $3.50 per acre as yet had
no classification from the state
land office.
l am opposed to the sale of the
lands in large bodies, depriving ac-
tual settlement for coming to the
state, and it was that point / de-
that the great bulk of our state
lands In northern New Mexico, and
the agricultural lands in various
counties of the state, If properly
classified and sold In small tracts
in alternate sections, will bring to
our school funds several times the
amount 1t is now realizing for its
state lands.
| think your report of what
said was not accurately made and
| do not desire to do any injustice
to anyone, but only desire to get
the people to realize, and espec-
ially the educa tors, that the state
lands are a great factor for the
future educational fund of the
state, and they should exert a par
ticular interest in the protection
of the same.
The present method of selling
lands that are agricultural in char
acter, does not tend at this time
to develop the state, but tends to
give the Spectator chance for
the future value of the same.

Not in vaingory, Lord today
But humbly, meekly. at Thy throne,
Do we accept Thy grace beyond compare.
For though the fields with grain are ripe
And prodigal it's fruit the garden yields,
Still shall we perish If we fail
To grasp the truth Thy love reveals.
Help us to put aside today
The useless hates of by-gone years;
Help us to BUILD UP-NOT TEAR DOWN-
Help us to cast out deadly fears
Man must hold close to brother man.
Each must his baser self forever Stay;
IT'S only attain - - -
