LEWISTON PURCHASING
AGENT UNDER FIRE

Lewiston, Dec. 22-The latest at
tack in series of criticisms Of the
Lewiston administration is that aim
cd at the city purchasing agent.
George W. Pottle. 1t is claimed that
Mr.. Pottle has no authority, at least
does not exercise any authority, id
investigating or criticizing the orders
from the different departments,
which he merely signs as purchasing
agent. H. is further alleged that he
is receiving $500 salary to act as
sort of private secretary to Mayor
William II. Newell, the latter being
too busy to give much personal at
tention or time to City. hall affairs.
The discussion turns toward the need
of purchasing agent with power to
discriminate and save the city as
much money as possible in handling
of it's funds.

People Dying by
Thousands in Russia

Riga. Dec. 22-(By A. P.)-"The
famine situation has become abso-
lutely CHASTITY" said Col. VIM. N.
Haskell, director of the American
Relief administration work in Russia
on his arrival here from Moscow. He
is on his way to London to confer
with Walter L. Brown. European di-
rector of the American Relief.
Where q few months ago." con-
tinued Col. Haskell. 1.-The people were
dying by hundreds, they are now dy-
ing by thousands. In q few months
they will be dying by hundreds Of
thousands. One OF the relief men in
a trip covering more than 400 miles
found only two places where food
could be had for love or money. In
the Saralov district, they are dying
SO fast that bodies are literally being
hauled away by the CARLOAD"
Americas greatest Christmas
present to Russia, said Col. Haskell,
would be the passage of the $4,000
oGo grain purchase bill. "This," he
added, would save from death q
majority of the adult millions who
otherwise are bound to perish. OF
course. some in the remote districts
and places that can't be reached will
die anyway. But $20.0OO,OOO worth
OF grain will save most Of them"
The American Relief Administra-
ton will be feeding 10000 children
soon after the first of the year. &C
ccrding to Col. Haskell. The pro-
gram is now in full swing. He and
Mr.. Brown hope to get ready to feed
adults also shortly il President
Harding's proposal is carried out.

Landseer's Fancy inherits her extreme
richness as shown by the daughters
Of two OF the sons of Dazzle by differ,
ent sires
This Spring when SO many OF the
cows in Mr.. Webster's herd were be.
ing bloated from eating clover. Car.
mack fell in line and was so unfor,
tunate as to he the worst bloated an
imal in the entire herd. The cause
of this very severe spell of Carmack' $
was the fact that she always believed
in getting more than her share of any
food obtainahle and on this occasion
got several shares of the white clover.
This spell caused Carmack to fall
off very much in production and to al
most fall out of the producing game
but she staged wonderful comeback
and by consistent production from
that time on to the end of the years
test she was able to come out with
flying colors and has become State
Champion of her class.
