CAN'T Dnponr ANY MORE RUSS
Undcsirnblcs If Soviet Opposes 1t.
Others Objectionable Over There.

Riga, Letva, April 2O.--The Uni
ted States no longer will be able to
deport its undesirables or send its
willing Russian residents to Soviet
Russia without previous negotia-
tions and the consent Of the Soviet
government in each individual case,
under the provisions Of a Soviet de-
cision made public to-day through a
note to the Letvian government.
The note says that, effective to-
day, the Soviet authorities will not
honor any transit vises granted by
Letvian representatives abroad for
emigrants or deportees bound for
Russia unless they also lave Russian
vises.
The Letvian government has no.
titled its consul in New York to abide
by this ruling and similar instruc-
tons have been sent to England. For
a long time past Russia has admitted
without Soviet vises, deportees and
others from the United States after
questioning them at neutral ports Of
lcbarkatiOn. The effect Of the new
ruling, so far as the United States
is concerned, will be the prevcntio
OF further dcportations from that
country to Soviet Russia unless list
Of those denorted has been submitted
officially to the Soviet government
and the latter's permission for the
entry Of such dcrortees into Russia
gained.
During the last few months Amer
icanized Russians among the emf
grants and dcportccs entering Rus
Sia have caused much difficulty
there and in many instances are said
to have been leading factors in re-
volts. In addition. many Of them
have been anarchists. whom the So
Wet authorities also are unwilling to
admit.

which have been hallowed by age
and cast them aside as debris. There
are men who fight prohibition be-
cause 1t interferes with their per-
sonal liberty, who oppose the League
Of Nations because 1t Is contrary to
their so-called Americanism. Ameri-
canism that is that narrow Is not
Americanism at all. There are those
who would haul down the Stars and
Stripes and hoist in It's place the red
flag OF Bolshevism-men whose sole
object Is to stir up class against
class and to breed discomfort. who
wish to tear down the ideals that
have made possible the founding Of
a great republic like ours, and inun-
date the world with their new ideas,
false doctrines and propaganda. So
long as there are those in tbe body
polite who advocate such policies
the very foundation Of civilization
is threatened. Are we, as loyal
Americans, who do not wish to see
ed, going to stand idly by and see all
that has been accomplished by the
noblest minds Of generations de-
stroyed? Or shall we not, bv our
example Of loyalty, heed the call for
MEN?
Young men Of America, the call
comes to you-you who inhabit the
greatest country in the world. YOU
who possess the richest heritage OF
all peoples, who have at your dis
posal the greatest opportunities TO
be found. The summons comes to
YOU to lay aside every petty gricv-
ancc and every selfish ambition and
go forth with Il brave heart to iight
for humanity. to make safe the
great principle for which thousands;
sleep tonight in Flanders Fields
to make the world safe for dcmoc-
racy. Prepare yourselves for the her
culcan tasks that await you. Your
country needs you, Bolsheviki Rus
sia needs you, devastated France
needs you-the world needs you. De-
vclop your God-given faculties and
go forth to serve humanity. Fadeless
laurels and the gratitude Of millions
yet unborn await him who does this.
The paramount call of America to-
day is for real men. God give us
men-men who will struggle in or
der that liberty and democracy, the
priceless heritage Of America, may
be given to all the world

Experience with Velvet Beans

h'NP>i 'NItl SclSel lSclnS.
There is at least one farmer in the
county who has had some valuable
experience with velvet beans. and it
is we'll for others who have been
running away from velvet beans"
to stop now and give those wonder
ful soil improvers a good trial
II. d. Mcdonald, Of Richland,
states that he sowcd one and one
eighth acre in velvet beans, which
kept five animals in feed, grazing on
them for seventy days. The animals
were one COW, one horse and three
yearlings. This was poor, quilted
hillside. How far does this beat

lie also showed the agent field
fourths acre, which was also on an
old hillside where sassafras and wild
plums used to grow. On this field
four crops Of velvet beans had been
turned under and only the ears of
corn pulled. Last year he raised 39
bushels Of corn on this small patch
with no fertilizer. Velvet beans were
planted in every row Of corn, and in
the middles between was row Of
peanuts. and about forty bushels Of
peanuts were gathered. And yet
some Of us wall and gnash our teeth
over fertilizer prices and weep over
our poor, rundown hillsides because
we haven't the nerve to get out Of
the old rut
On an acre field OF cotton, where
velvet beans and corn had been
planted four years and the vines
turned under, he stated that last
year thirteen hundred pounds Of seed
cotton was picked from that acre.

LIFE SENTENCE FOR THE NEGRO
Louisiana Sheriff "Forgot to Hang
Pardon Board Makes Change.

Shreveport, La, April 21.--The
death sentence Of Lonnie Eaton, the
negro whom the sheriff Of Ouichita
parish forgot about when the day
set for his hanging came around last
month, was SENTENCED to life impris-
onment by the State pardon board
yesterday, according to adyices from
Baton Rouge, when the board con-
sidcrcd the negro's case at their reg
ular meeting.
Eaton was convicted Of murder
several months ago and was brought
from Ouichita parish to the Caddo
parish Jail for safe-kccping. Gov
crnor Parker set the date for the
hanging, but the sheriff forgot all
about it until the legal date had
passed. AS he afterwards wrote to
Governor Parker, he was so busy
with other affairs in his Office, he for
got the day he was to hang Eaton.
When the omission was discovered
attorneys for Eaton held that, as he
had been in jeopardy once, his exc
cution would be illegal. Governor
Parker secured opinions from mem
hers OF the bar, but the Attorney
General held that. as Eaton had been
sentenced to be hanged. the law re-
quired that sentence be carried out
unless executive clemcncy was ex-
tended. The matter then was allow
cd to rest until the meeting Of the
pardon board.
