RUSSIA: THE HEIRESS OF
FAMINES

Never, In civilized times, have so
many old-wOrld nations felt the pinch
VI hunger al once; yet suffering from
want Of food Is no new story TO many
Of them. Especially has Russia been
The luckless heir to periods Of near
starvation.
Writing TO the National Geographic
society, Ralph A. Graves tells of Rus
sian famlnes Of the past AS follows |:
Next 10 the proetariat Of India
and China, the Russian peasant has
felt the pinch Of poverty and hunger
more keenly and more frequently than
any other citizen on earth.
'One Of the earliest famines In Rus.
sin Of which there Is any definite rec
ord was that Of 1900, which continued
for three years, with death toll Of
100000 peasants. Cats, dogs and rats
were eaten; the strong overcame the
weak, and In the shainbles Of the pub
lie markets human flesh was sold. Mul.
titudes Of the dead were found with
their mouths stuffed with straw.
"Three Russian fumines Of compara-
lively recent date were among the
most severe in the history Of the coun-
try. They occurred In 1891. 1905 and
1911. During the ten years following
the first Of these periods Of dearth
the government allotted nearly $l25,-
100000 for relief work, but the sums
were not always judiciously expended.
I'm 1906 the government gave 40
pounds Of -four month to all persons
under eighteen and over fifty-nine
years Of age. All peasants between
those ages and infants under one rear
Of age received no allowance, and 1t

WHERE PEARL BUTTONS
COME FROM

One frequently must follow a long
trail to strange places to find the origin
Of the most common convenlences of
our home, wardrobe, or dinner table,
For example, pearl buttons are de.
pendent upon preservation Of certain
Mississippi river fish.
This economic curiosity Ii explained
In a communication to the National
Geographic society by Hugh NJ. Smith,
as follows:
'The perpetuation Of the fish sup
ply In the Mississippi and its tribu-
taries involves very important indus
try besides fishing. Investigations con-
Quoted for the bureau Of fisheries
years ago showed an intimate relation
between certain kinds Of fishes and
the mussels, which yield valuable
pearls and support a pearl-button In
dustry which gives employment to
about 10000 persons, and has prod
uct worth from s5,0OO,OOO to $8,OOO,-
900 annually.
1.-THE young mussels, Of microscopic
size when thrown of by their parents
In myriads, need to pass the first few
weeks Of their Independent existence
on the gills Of fish, II the fishes are
not present at the proper time, the
mussels cannot survive. Furthermore
and this is a most interesting fen.
ture Of the cooperation Of fishes and
mussels--the young Of particular kinds
Of mussels require the gllls Of par.
ticular kinds Of fishes as nurseries.
"The black bass Is host for several
sorts Of mussels, the crappies for sew
eral others, the catfish for others. The
skip-jack, a kind Of herring, Is the only
known host far the best Of all mus
sells; and as this fish is not by any
means abundant, Its maintenance Is Of
prime importance to the welfare Of the
button industry. In 1910 more than
one and half million skip jacks were
rescued.
THE peculiar requirements Of the
young mussels having been carefully
determined, the bureau Of fisheries has
gone extensively into the business Of
artificial propagation Of pearly mus
sells by method which Is a. vast i'm
prOvement on nature. The spawning
mussels, held In ponds. are at the crit.
cal period provided with the special
fishes needed for the attachment Of
the young
"The fishes obtained In the rescue
operations are turned into the ponds
at the time the mussels are spawning
and become thlckly inoculated. They
are then liberated In the open water
and distribute themselves and the mus
sells throughout vide stretch of river.
Thus two importnn; branches Of the
bureaus work 90 hand In hand"

TWO RAYMER BANKS

Monday morning the rumors that

It was not until Tuesday morning
that the two were actually merged.

at the old stand closing up accounts
and doing things required to be
done towards liquidating the Far.
mers and Merchants.
The latter bank ceases to exist,
or will and the old State Bank of
Raymer will continue to do business.
Mr.. Gillett. President Of the liquida-
ting bank will probably become a
stockholder and interested In the old
bank.
II changes in officials are to be
made they have not been definitely
determined. or at least II determined
no announcement is ready for the
public.
1t would appear as II the move
should be an advisable. ono. Ono
bank can probably do all of the bus
mess, with very little II any addi-
titnal expense, so that overhead for
the two banks will be only about
half what it was formerly. and
'hould make one business more pro-
dtable without increased cost Of ser
vice to the public.
Mr.. Snyder is still busy and will
be for some time closing up the af-

The closed bank has been well
conducted, but conditions have been

and cross the tundra to the sea. This
discovery was widely heralded through
Alaska and the western states. Thou
sands flocked to the neighb0rhood In
the summer Of 1900 and the town was
born. That season the remarkable dis.
covery was made that the sand Of the
beach nt the edge Of the town was rich
In gold. and thousands Of prospectors
tlth crude equipment took out respect
.ible fortunes. The beach could not
be filed upon, but anyone was permit
ted to dig there. This unique fea.
ture Of the Nome gold fields drew more
than 20.0O0 people to the region the
following summer, and the town grew
into thriving city. Placer miners
burrowed into the sand like moles for
30 miles or more up and down the
beach.
Nome took Its name from Cape
Nome nearby. which was named as
the result of misunderstanding. II
means nothNg unless It can be con-
strued to signify "the nameless.' It

NOME: A CITY THAT
HIBERNATES

Nome, Alaska, In recent years has
been a city that dwindles In winter
to u population Of bur a few hundred,
and spring has brought u lessening re-
turn of residents. Thus this remote
mining camp, after meteOric career
and growth into city, gradually Is
resulning the status Of town.
Situated on the bleak north coast Of
the Icy storm-swept Bering sea, close
to the Arctic circle, Nome Is frozen In
and showed In for about seven months
Of the year Its chief industry, placer
gold mining, depends upon the use Of
running water, therefore the activi-
ties must stop when the water con-
geals. Rather than spend the long
winter In the extreme cold. waiting
for the return Of mild weather,
large part of the population, Of Nome
has always returned to the States In
the fall. making the journey back to
the north In June, when navigation
opens.
The overnight creature Of an un-
usual gold discovery, the town grew
up on u site that probably could not
have been worse fitted for a commu-
nifty Of human habitation. II Is open
TO the full sweep of the violent storms
and the heavy waves that often beat
In from the sea. II has q relatively
narrow beach and Immediately within
Is a strip Of tundra. frozen solid In
winter, but Il sea Of mud during the
open season. In this morass the town
grew up. In the early days men and
animals floundered through streets
that were knee-deep In mud. Later
the principal thoroughfares were
boarded over. Each summer fool.
hardy newcomers built structures on
the beach only to have them wholly
destroyed by the blasts Of September
when, almost without warning, huge
waves swept to the edge Of the tundra
and often into the town itself.
Gold was first discovered near Nome
IN 1893. irpone Of the numerous creeks
that rise In the hills back Of the town
