to Russia by Secretary Hoover

nROF. VERNON KELLOGG, sent
to Russia by Secretary Hoover
to investigate conditions, makes
a most favorable report of the Soviet
governments s character and conduct.
Mr.. Mackenzie, the Canadian
commissioner, who has spent months
in Russia, makes even more favor
able reports than does Prof. Kellogg.
The correspondent Of the New
York Times in Russia writes to his
paper that the Soviet government is
firmly established and universally
supported, that the famine is due to
drought and not to communism, and
adds that the hostile sentiment
against the Soviet government out
side of Russia is due to the continued
and INSCRIPTIONS lying of anti
Soviet propaganda bureaus main
tained at Helsingfors, Riga, Reval-
and, he might have added, in Paris
and New York.
The significance of these success
i've reports lies in the fact that they
come from men who are extreme
conservatives, who detest commu-
nism, who went to Russia greatly
prejudiced against the Soviet gov
ernment, and who could be relied
upon not to be anxious to find any
thing to say in favor of the Soviet
government.
1t is some satisfaction to the
Hearst papers to see the truth of
what they have constantly told their
readers about Russia and the Soviet
government thus confirmed by every
responsible American who is now
able to speak with personal kmowl-
edge of Russian conditions.

This Is Good Talk.
POLITICIANS would do well to
r listen to business mems talk

nOLlllOAhNO Woulu uo "oh w
listen to business mems talk
more often.
For instance, here is good telk by
Mr.. Peter Steenstrup, member of the
Foreign Trade Committee of the Ma
tional Automobile Chamber of Com
merce-a useful body with a name
a yard too long:
"The question of disarma-
ment is fundamental to the en-
tire economic condition. We
should have open publicity at
the coming conference. The
peoples in all countries will
never stand for continuing
present expenditures on arma-
ment if the facts are brought
fully to light"
The United States will disarm only
when it is absolutely safe to dis
arm.
That will be when Japan and Eng
land and France cut their military
and naval establishments in half.
No one wants to attack either
France, Japan or England. Their
enormous armies and navies are
therefore open to the suspicion that
they are kept up for possible at
tacks upon other peoples
If the conference here is in The
open, tae representatives of Japan,
England and France will be COM
PEELED to explain to their own peo-
Piles just why those peoples are
taxed beyond endurance to maintain
greater armies and greater navies
than ever before.
And no explanation they can give
will satisfy their own peoples.
Mr. Steenstrup is exactly right.

girls to think and to teach them how when occasion makes
necessary to acquire information be expected that
period OF years of school work boy girl would be able

they should be able quickly accurately ascertain facts
that may be necessary.
The boy of this day and time enters upon the
bes and real duties Of life without education still has OBJ
porune to make good" but he is handicapped Everything
else being equal he is at disadvantage with the schooained
mind Hence the parent who has the opportunity to give his
children an education and who negects to avail himself of this
opportunity standing in his light and denies his chill
dren their rightfu heritage.
The rural schools of Upton county are our hope for our
future citizenship The pepetuy of Institutions the sue
cess Of great experiment free depends largely
upon the character Of training that boys girls receive in
the public schools.
The teacher alone not make the school success The
school should be made the community center There should be
close cooperation between teacher and parent for increasing the
school interests, increasing the daily attendance making at
tendance regular No boy girl go school two or
three days the week and four five months in the year and
make their grades Such pupils will fail Do not blame the
teacher with the failure Of such pupils takes regular ae

The state distributes the school money for this year the

The Leader wants to the parents Of Upton county toll
take advantage of the opportunity to give every boy and girl
in Upton county education
Send the boys and girls to school every day. rain or shine
for the entire term The best way allow children become
dissatisfied with school is to let them miss day every

LIVING EPISTLES

Christ has no hands but our hands
to do His work today:
He has no feet but our feet to lead
men in His way.
He has no tongue but our tongue to
tell men how He died;
He has no help but our help to bring
them to his side.
We are the only Bible the careless
world will read:
We are the sinners gospel; we are
the scoffer's creed;
We are the Lords last message.
given in deed and word.
What if the type is crooked? What
if the print is blurred?
What if our hands are busy with
other work than His?
What if our feet are walking where
sins allurement is?
What if our tongues are speaking Of
things His lips would spurn?
How can we hope to help Him and
hasten His return?
