Help Russia Now Says Wels or Suffer in Her Ruin

industrial power, Two experimental
districts he said had already been cleo
trified. Can one imagine a more cour-
ageous project in a vast fiat land of
forests and illiterate peasants, with no
water power. with no technical skill
available, and with trade and industry
at the last gasp? Projects for such an
electrification are in process of devel-
opment in Holland and they have been
discussed in England, and in those
,densely populated and industrially
highly developed centres one can
imagine them as successful, economi-
cal and altogether beneficial. But
their application to Russia is an alto
gether greater strain upon the con-
structive imagination. cannot see
anything of the sort happening in this
dark crystal of Russia. but this little
man at the Kremlin can; he sees the
decaying railways replaced by new
electric transport, sees new roadways
spreading throughout the land. sees
a new and happier Communist indus
trialism arising again. While talked
to him he almost persuaded me to
share his vision.'.
However one may doubt the value of
economic reports on the state of a
great nation drawn from a few days
portraits of I4enin, Gorky, Glazounov
and others that glow from these brief
and brilliant pages.

When Fate Struck
Donald Was There

ZIZIS CAREER BY Evelyn Van
Buren, The Bobbs-Merrill Company.
This is another of the stories of a
brilliant stage career, to be equalled
only by Mary Anderson and Sarah
Bernhardt; these two great persons
are in fact the actresses whom her
mother strange creature quite re-
mote from anything human, constantly
urges her to rival
When she finally comes to New
York to be trained to take a leading
role in a play written by her teacher
to whom the author gives the un-
Italian name of "Cripsiano," she meets
a great disappointment and par
ticularly shocking surprise. On the
eve of the production of Cleo"
Cripsiano sends her away from the re-
hearsal, saying that she will never be
able to play the part and he will not
permit her to ruin his piece. When
the heroine rushes to her mother
who had come East to witness her
triumph-with this awful news, that
astute lady surmises that the author
1t is true. The somebody else, young
stranger from the West went on iIs

she came to the hotel to crow over un-
fortunate Zizi and her mother She
was the little green-eyed sister Baby"
who from the cradle had been Zizis
bette noire.
Naturally, then, it was the turn of
the young man who had had to stand
aside for Zizi's career. And the reader
may recall a conversation she had had
with Donald before she came to New
York. They were talking of his future
plans-Zizi Is telling the story:
| IT asked: How are you going to get
rich. Donald?'
That day Donald looked softly up
into the branches above the hammock.
"He said: 'Ruskin says that man Is
richest who has the widest helpful
influence over the lives of others
Frequently Donald dealt a little
blow like this. He was no doubt think
ing of the Irish-his people. He wrote
upon the Irish situation and published
his writings; receiving money for this.

"T said: But don't you want to
make lot of money?
"He should not disappoint my
mother now. He read my thoughts.
He said: She expects more of me than
just getting money. 1t is not the all
important
II said: Yes 1t is. You can't like
being poor. Only n great deal Is
enough. Don't you want a great dea,

"He thrust out his chin. Almost

OF course a man who could thrust
out his chin like that would manage
to arrive at the moment when every
thing was going wrong to take charge

TT is the custom nowadays to make
much of the help Alexander

near New Boston, staying with his
parents until his 18th year, then went
to Burlington, Iowa, working first in
a factory, and later in the railroad
shops. He worked himself up to the
position Of expert molder. After
about five years he was needed at
home, and with his usual thotfulness
for others, went back to help his faith

For the past six years, his father
and himself had carried on their farm

DOG ARGUMENTS LEAD TO
FINE FOR SPANKING BOY

Wahpeton-An argument over dogs
started it. So says John Drummond,
Hankinson farmer, who was fined
$21.75 and costs for spanking 13-year
old John Wolf, neighbor boy. Young
Wolf asserted that the Drummond
children threw stones at him and that
Drpmmond clicked, hit and misused
him." Drummond counterclaimed
that Wolf threw q stone which hit one
of his (Drummond's) children, and
thnt he then capt..red yorng Wolf
and spanked him. He said the trouble
al started over the boys argument
about the respective merits Of their
dogs and that they had been enemies
ever since.

This years sale of auto tags was

The sale Of auto license tags entails
great amount of labor on the part of
the office force Of the Chamber of
Commerce, for which no remunera-

1t Is undecided at this time whether
or not the license tags will be on sale
at the chamber next year. Unless the

this work, 1t is probable that tags will
have to be secured direct from the
