BREAD OF STARVING RUSSIA
Called "Lebeda," the Stuff Is Made Of
Leaves and Grass, Boiled
and Dried.

A peasant In the government Of Sa-
mara (soviet Russia) told me Of how
they make lebe1a bread. Here Is tina
story:
Ii our village they take some lin
den leaves and grass, chop them up to
the size of a flea, and then boil the
mixture. After the water has boiled.
they squeeze it out and put the stun
again into boiling water. Then they
let the water run Off through q sieve.
and keep the mass until 1t is dry.
After that they grind 1t fine and add
cne-third -four.
"The bread you get Is green In color
and indigestible. And when there ID
no flour. they just bake the ground
mixture as 1t is. 1t does not taste
very badly; but after a man eats It
for while he sweils up and gets
worms In his stomach, and soon after
that ne dies."-Moscow Pravda.

To Get Rid of Bed Ants.

The following is recommended by
the United States Department Of Ag-
riculture: Make a strip of ordindry
cane sugar and water, rather thin,
with the addition of not more than
threefourths of 1 per cent sodium
arsenate. which is poison. Saturate
small sponges with the sirup and
place about where the ants are found
They carry the mixture to their nesta
and feed 1t to their young and queens
which eventually destroys the colony.

HomIly on Golf.

Men take up golf for the exercise
as a game 1t makes walking most In
teresting.
An inexperienced player going over
an eighteen-hole course will perhaps
cover FIVE miles. The more proficient
he becomes at the game the less he
walks, ergo, the less exercise he gets.
SO, If you are taking up golf for the
exercise, what is the sense Of becom-
ing expert and thus reducing the
amount of exercise? The answer Is
that an American doesn't want to be
a dub" at anything.-St. Louis Star.

SOUTHEASTERN FAIR
| DATES HAVE BEEN
ADVANCED z DAYS

The dates of the next Southeast
ern fair at Lakewood have been ad-
vanced two days. It will be held
from October IS to %, inclusive, in
stead Of October Is to 25, as previ-
ously announced.
The change was made public on
Thursday. The reasons include the
fact that under the original schedule
there was a skip of an entire week
between the big Virginia state fair
at Richmond and the Southeastern
fair here, also an entire week be-
tween the Alabama state fair at
Birmingham and the Atlanta show.
Moving up the opening date two
days will be a notable help to the eX-
kibitors and concessionaires coming
from these two big shows" said a
member of the board. THE new ar
rangement also will make it unnec-
essary to run the fair two days into
third week, as was done when 1t
opened on Saturday. This year it
will open on Thursday and will con-
clude on the Saturday of the follow
urdays. The fair will be in full
swing on the first Saturday, too,
which is a manifest advantage"
Through cooperation with the
pure-bred live stock organizations of
the south, the National Hog and Cat
tie Show will again be an exclusive
feature of the fair, and the Interna-
tional Stock Judging Contest, which
last year was such a success and
the country, will again have it's place
among the leading features

HARDING MAY TAKE
STEPS To RELIEVE
RAILROAD SITUATION

WASHINGTON, March 10.-Presi-
ing extra session of congress prob
ably will advocate steps toward re-
lieving the critical situation in which
the railroads now find themselves.
Dissatisfaction of railroad en-
ployes with wage cuts, complaints
of shippers at high rates and pleas
Of railroad managers that many lines
are facing bankruptcy all have been
brought TO Harding's attention to
show that some move by the govern
ment is most urgent.
Though President Harding is I'M
qualifiedly opposed to government
ownership or operation of the roads
some of his advisers see no way
out of the situation except through
increased government supervision.
Whether Mr.. Harding will finally be
persuaded to go beyond recommend
ing financial assistance is doubtful
at this time.
Revision Of the Cummins-Esch act
is likely ultimate but it is expect
ed that another congressional inves-
tigation will be asked by Harding
before any decisive steps are taken.
Senator Cummins, Iowa, chairman
of the senate interstate commerce
committee, has held several lengthy
conferences with President Harding
over the railroad situation recently
and is understood to believe that
some relief is imperative.
High railroad officials laid their
case before Mr.. Harding while he
was at st. Augustine, Fla, explain
ing that railroad rates are as high
as they can wisely be made at pres
ent. Yet they say they are unable
to make any Roadway against the
high operating costs which are eat
ing into their income disastrously.
The Pennsylvania and other rail-
roads are cutting wages to reduce
these costs but already vigorous pro-
tests from labor leaders are being
heard in Washington.
1t is limited by some senators and
officials that a closer scrutiny of
railroad accounts might uncover
leaks in expenditures which would
effect some savings. Excessive
charges for replacement and repairs
culties of the roads. President Har-
ding is also devoting much attention
to the question of the merchant ma
rine and is trying to select his ship
ping board at the earliest possible
moment. He is still undecided upon
his chairman and will make no other
appointments to the board pending
a decision on that.

| house, Ohio, a close friend of Har-
ding, who acted as secretary of the

HARDING s DOCTOR
ASKED To SURVEY
HEALTH AGENCIES

WASHINGTON. March 10.-In ad-
dition to naming DR.. c. E. Sawyer
his personal physician, a brigadier
general, President Harding has asked
him to undertake a survey of the
public health agencies with a view
to increasing their efficiency, it was
announced at the White House today.
The White House issued the fol-
lowing statement Of DR.. Sawyer:
president Harding has long since
been convinced that the affairs re-
lating to public welfare, such as pub
lie education end social justice ard
so intimately related and so vital to
the nations perpetuity that he has
decided to begin at once a careful
survey of all matters pertaining to
the subjects. That there may be no
delay, he has nominated DR.. Charles
E. Sawyer, of Marion, Ohio, a man
of long and practical experience in
such matters, to be a brigadier gen.
eralcy in the medical corps of the
United States army, thereby not only
securing the service of DIR. Sawyer
as physician at the White House
when professional attention is neces-
sary, but also giving to him direct
authority to make thorough inVesti-
cation of the needs of the subject
and to present the accumulated facts
with such suggestions as his obser-
walton may warrant in the bringing
about of concert plan of co-ordina-
ton and most efficient and economic
operation of these affairs. DR.. Saw
yer's duties will begin Immediately"
DR.. Sawyer is head of the White
Oak farm, homeopathic institution
at Marion for the treatment of ner-
vous disorders. He also has con-
Quoted a general practice in Marion
for many years. He has been the
Harding family physician and has
brought Mrs. Harding through sew

on her account, it is stated, that he
abandoned his desire to remain at
White Oak.

Republicans Plan to
Trade Johnson Off
National Committee
The Atlanta Journal News Bureau,
623 Riggs Building.
by rEEOD6RE rTr.rrp

WASHINGTON, d. c., March 10
In their desire to reorganize and
build up the Republican party in the
south, members of the Republican
national committee have made a
start by suggesting that Henry Lin
coin Johnson, the negro member of
the committee from Georgia, resign
his place. get out of the factional
cntroVersies in Georgia and accept a
lucrative position in the federal
service in Washington.
johnson has not decided upon his
course, but Republican leaders be-
lieve the southern situation woul d
be clarified should Johnson get off
Of the national committee and make
no attempt to interfere in the dis
tr1butIon of patronage in his state
and in the south. White members
of the committee are fully aware
that in the southern states the G.
D. p. cannot get ahead with the
negro in the saddle.
johnson, the first colored member
of the national committee heads one
OF the Georgia factions and is in
sisting on his right to control pat
ronage.
A subcommittee of the national
committee, headed by Representa-
tive Slemp, of Virginia, is to make
tou' OF the southern states in the
next few weeks consulting party
leaders in North Carolina, South
Carolina, Georgia and other states.
Their report will be made to a meet
ing of the full committee in June.
This report will deal with reor-
SANITATION of the party in the south,
the question of representation in
national conventions.
The Slemp subcommittee members
are wise enough to appreciate that
the negro in Republican politics in
the south is an obstacle in the mis-
sionary work among the white vot-
ers. The race issue and the pros
pect of negro office holders are
questions raised whenever Repub-
li4an missionaries attempt to break
the "solid south"
Elevation Of Johnson to a place
on the national committee no doubt
has complicated the issue. 1t would
simplify the Republican problem if
Johnson should resign from the
committee. accept $4,000 or $4,000
job from President Harding and set
tie down in Washington, keeping his
hands off of Georgia politics and
allowing the white Republicans of
the state to reconcile their differ
ences and agree on a patronage
slate.
Overtures to have johnson locate
in Washington and accept some good
position in lieu of his place on the
been made quietly within the past
few days. Johnson may accept the
suggestion although he is not eX
pected to agree to any program for
reading the southern negro entirely
out of politics. The Johnson move
is the first concrete action of the
Republican committee looking to a
states, if the race issue can be met
in some way.
