appears 20 grow more critical.
ghe horrors Of the great plague that
swept Europe In the fourth century
are being recalled by the Russians In
their present disaster The number OF
famine sufferers Is estimated at 30
100000. The huge masses OF people
that are fleeing from the villages are
now actually besiegIng the cities In a
demand for bread.
At some Of the crossings on the
Volga there are thousands Of wagons
with miserable human freight gathered
In a desperate effort to escape from
the starvation area.
The elemental movement has given
rise To bloody battles. In which the
Red soldiers have fought with bullets
and sabres 10 check the advance of
the starving. ragged peasants and save
the cities from plllage and destruction
at their hands.
Izvestia, the Soviet official news
paper In Moscow. announces the es-
tablishment OF a regular famine front
at which the Bolshevik army Is trying
to hak the mad onrush OF the starving
millions. This front runs southwark
from Murmansk, past Petrograd and
through Pskov, MInsk, Kiev, Ekateri-
noslav, Mariampol. Taganrog and
Rostov-on-Don to Torgovaya, In Kuban
province. Thence II swings toward
Turkestan and stretches into Siberia
as far as Irkutsk.
The entire region within this front
line n under martial law and admIs-
sion beyond II Is permissible only on
special passes from the extraordinary
commission.
The population In the famine striCk-
en- region, which covers three-fourths
OF Russia, Is subsisting on Insects,
frogs, roots and the bark of trees
Rats have become "A delicacy In many
places.
The lack OF food Is rapidly tanning
the cholera epidemic throughout Rus
sia. According to the Pravda, 24.OOO
cholera cases were registered In Mos
COW In the month OF June.
Premier Lenine has again offered to
place the entire relief work Ia stricken
Russia In the Lnntls Of American or
ganIZail"ns and give them complete
freedom Of action. lie hopes thus to
bring sufficient relief To the country to
cOuntcraCt the demand nf the extrem-

Unless relief comes. Europe may wit

Russian steppes. 1t Is feared that the
Soviet army cannot indefinitely hold
the famine front against which the
hosts of starving people, driven mad
by hunger and disease. are trying des-
perately TO break.
Although the leaders OF the Soviet
government and the Communist party
are trying desperately to organize and
put in operation some sort OF a relief
plan, the rank and file OF the Red
parties are throwing up their hands.

during these days of ~changeable and
uncertain market conditions. Yet
some way the threshing bill remains
unpaid. Now it isn't because they're
poor pay or dishonest. It's pure
carelessness-he dosen't happen to
have his check book along when he
happens to run onto our thresherman
or the later doesn't have his account
book along and cannot remember the
amount of it.
The thresherman is an honest soul
and "pays as he goes" His family is
not permitted to buy anything unless
they have the money to pay on the
spot.
Farmer folks spin by on pretty
Indian summer days in their autos,
fancies-but we will stay It home
until we can go properly dressed and
shod, for the head of the house has
a pride all his own. He fondly mag
ines that there's big money in thresh-
ing and that he has the world in gen
eral and this neighborhood in par
ocular fooled into thinking that he is
rich at it. It's n big bluff
put, as | said before, there's some
alluring and fascinating that
them at it-and what I'm try

Ehrenberg business. For many years MT. Daniels held the mail contract, operated the general store and saloon and was one of the school trustees, but later he gave up these numerous duties to go into the cattle business.
 Miss Mary Phost, who was the first teacher to come to the Ehrenberg schools, still lives at Yuma, and still teaches in the schools in that city. She is very old now and draws pen sion for her teaching services in the neighboring state. The Goldwaters are now residents of Phoenix, while the Franks live in Yuma.
 A city where every day and night saw enacted scenes of gold lust, where the report of a vengeful gun was a granted part of the days occurrences, where the rant of the dance hall mingled with the chant of the Catholic church nearby-that was Ehrenberg. Asked to tell of one outstanding in- cident that made up the florid side of Ehrenberg's past life, MT. Daniels gave up the job deprecatingly. Those were no highly colored and sensation al farces that the cinema industry grew rich upon in its younger days. The candle in the beer bottle, the spinning roulette wheel ,the nugget thrown in exchange for malaga-these were very part of the genuine life upon which discerning moving picture directors built an art having for its cornerstone the intense and often ri bald life of the rugged West.
 Ehrenberg was primarily the cen ter of a gold mining district. Very little copper was mined there, and practically no silver. It is estimated by different authorities that some S17,OOO,OOO in gold was taken from the La Paz mine, and countless wealth has also been obtained in the region near Ehrenberg.~
 The old stage line which made the daily trips from San Bernardino to points in New Mexico made Ehren- berg itsachief stopping placer-a fac. tor greatly instrumental in the rapid settlement of the city. The coach was carried across the river on a big ferry rowed by several men. Many times, true to the spirit of those pio- neer days, the stage was robbed in approved bandit fashion, but the gov- ernment's close vigil of desperadoes resulted in the apprehension of many of them, who were duly sent to the penitentiary.
 Ehrenberg came to grief about 1882, after a span of ten years in which was condensed more red-blood- ed life than many city experiences in several decades. Indian settle ments which were stationed along the shores of the Colorado river be- came restless. The Red Man rose up against the inhabitants, and when two or three of the citizens were slain, the people began to move. By 1883 most of the business men had left, the last ones to forsake the city being Sam Wilson, Newt Smith and the Hecklers.
