farm home. What pleasant
A memories II recalls TO some
Of US, and what good times
II will mean for many OF us this year.
There Is really no place like the farm
home for Christmas good times and
jollity and good cheer. Here, II any.
where, prosperity and plenty abound,
and In family gatherings and In neigh
borhood reunions, with an abundance
OF the fruits OF our labor with which
to spread our bountlful boards, old
friendships may be renewed, new ones
made, and even the stranger within
our gates may be added to the list.
At Christmas time we may put into
practice the real principles OF neigh.
boring. Living close together does not
always make nelghbors. Speaking ac-
Qualntances are not always nelghbors.
To be real neighbors we must have
the spirit OF nelghborilness in our
hearts which prompts us to get to-
gether once in awhile, to gather
around well-laden take and feast,
and visit, and laugh and foke and have
rouslng good time. To love our
neighbor as we do ourself, we have to
know him pretty well, and there is
nothing like these neighborly reunions
ms a means OF getting acquainted.
II may be that some OF us will have
TO do a little mental and spiritual
housekeeping before Christmas day
dawns. We shall have 10 rid ourselves

sia's position was never so apathetic,
dead and newsless. No interest is
taken in anything, even in the nego-
tiations between France and Russia
through NJ. Skobeleff, former member
OF the Kerensky government, who
communicates with Gregory Krassine
on one hand and Premier BRAND on
the other. The negotiations are re-
ported to concern war debts and per-
mission for France to exploit Russia.
M. Caillaux, a Frenchuan in Reval,
is working in the same direction, but
all these negotiations may come to
nothing through Russia having no
goods to deliver. Internally Russia
presents an awful level of depression
owing to the exhaustion and famine.

''acted under the influence OF religious
psychosis.'
The most striking instance OF the
languor prevailing in Russia is shown
by the faint interest taken in the East
karelian insurreetion, which has tenn
porarily deprived Russia of a large
pi ovince, and about which Finland has
just laid a statement before the League
of Nations. The Soviet Government
communicated to THE NEW YORK HER
AID correspondent it's version of the
Rarelian case, which is that in October,
with the connivance of the Finnish Gov
ernment, insurgent bands led by Finnish
officers entered karelia by a wild and
deserted frontier and invaded the Tun-
gutslIy district, roadless and remote.
1t was almost a month before Moscow
learned what had happened, and then
Georgevitch Tchitcherin, Soviet Com
missioner for Foreign Affairs, protested,
saying that he would hole Finland re-
sponsble for the losses inflicted by the
raiders. According TO the charges made
by Tchtcherin the Insurgents, who were
well armed and drilled, were led by in
disputable Finnish officers.
AS these bands brought artillery, 1t is
evident that they could not have organ
lied tile raid without the Finnish Gov
ernment's connivance. Moreover Hell
singfors newspapers are publishing de-
tails of the bands movements, though
Helsingfors has no communication with
Karelia by rail or telephone.
Leading Finnish politicians. bank
directors. merchants and military en-
gineers formed an organization for help
ing the Karelian insurgents, Tchitcherin
says. A Karelian Government has
been formed on Finnish territory and Is
publishing daily official announcements
based on military reports received by
special couriers from the insurgents.
The Finnish Government declared that
the Karelian frontier had been closed,
although, according to Tchitcherin, rein
forcements arms and supplies are con-
tipually passing from Finland into in
surrectionary Karelia. Finnish machine
guns, he says, are entering Karelia in
large numbers and even rebel Russian
sailors from Kronstadt, who were in
termed in Finland, have been armed and
marched into Karelia. Tchitcherin COM
plains that Finland does not even an
swer letters, and threatens that despite
the famine Russia has means at her
disposal for making the Finnish raids
dangerous amusement for those taking
part in them.
Nevertheless Tchitcherin has to deal
with q weary Red army. tired Russia,
and, to crown all, heavy snow has fallen
in all those regions and the daylight will
soon have contracted to a few hours
daily. Military operations, therefore,
are impossible, and Trotzky must wait
until next summer to let his armies loose
on Karelia.

MIGHT HAVE BEEN PRESIDENT
the Nomination Of Judge David
Davis in 1872

In 1872, David Davis of Illinois
missed his chance for the presidency
through the overweening ambition
Of Horace Greeley of New York, and
B. Gratz Brown of Missouri. The LIB
eral Republican convention met at
Cincinnati. with thousands OF prom
inent Republicans In revolt against
Gen. Grant and the powers In the Re
publican party which controlled It.
Davis. who had been former Demo
crat had become a Lincoln Republic
can, and Lincoln put him on the SUI
preme bench. He would have had q
great deal Of the Lincoln support and
large Democratic following, If he had
been nominated; but Greeley was ann
bitious-and so was Brown land they
formed q combination to nominate
themselves, defeating Davis, who might
have been elected over Grant. The
business interests Of the country were
distrustfu1 Of Greeley, but they had
confidence In Davis. That the Grant
administration and the Republican
party, as then controlled, was unpopu-
lar. was shown In the great Demo
cratic congressional triumph Of 1874,
after Grant had been elected second
time.-Detroit News.

WAR ON DISEASE WORLD WAR
Health Problems of the Remotest
Land Is the Concern of All
Peoples.

The war against disease is a world
war. Commerce carries dangerous In
fectiOns, as well as goods and ideas.
The health problems of the remOtest
land concern all peoples. More and
more, nations are coming to recognize
their interdependence in health as in
industry, government, science, and Gull
ture. There are even now foreshadOw-
ings of worldwide cooperation in COM
batting the maladies which have long
threatened humanity. For this new
campaign leaders are needed to extend
the frontiers of medical science, to
teach, to organize, to administer.
Demonstrations are required to con-
vince communities and nations that
diseases can be controlled and even
eradicated. The Rockefeller Founda@
ton, enlisted for this worldwide cam
paign against disease, is cooperating
with many agencies in five continents,
Is fostering the growth of information

FRIDAY. JANUARY 7, 1921

AMONG the organizations which from
time TO time have been started by
farmers to protect and advance their
interests, the Farm Bureau is the one
which seems 10 be sufficiently broad in
scope, practical in its organization and
efficient in management to merit gen.
eral confidence. 1t is non-political, it
does not aim to set itself up as a mas
ter of other interests in the country, it
has no ak to grind; it simply attacks
the problems that are nearest to the
farmer as a member of the industry of
farming, and seeks to solve them. 1t
emphasizes greater efficiency in the
operation of the farms, the production
of stock, the use of farm implements,
and the employment of labor. 1t lays
stress on improved methods Of making
and preserving farm produce, as to in
sure the highest possible quality In the
products of the field, the orchard, the
barn and the dairy. In all these mat
tiers it co-operates with the state agri-
cultural schools and the farm agencies
looking for agricultural improvement.
1t has directed it's energies especially
toward the organization of the differ
ent branches of agriculture for the pur-
pose of raising the standard of each, =
of milk and cream, butter, cheese, po-
tatoes, eggs, wool, apples and cereals,
fruit and vegetables for canning. 1t is
active in organizing the marketing
service of the farmers by establishing
shipping associations, storage facilities
at central and convenient points for the
purpose Of expediting goods to and
from the local shipping points and cut
ting down the cost of handling, insur-
ing better profits to the farmer and
juster price to the consumer. 1t is,
through legislative committees, taking
steps to further legislation of interest
to the farming industry. Its plan is to
unity its effectiveness by decorating all
local bureaus into county organizations,
and these again into state and national
organizations. The Wisconsin Farm
Bureau was established in August tais
year; now there are organizations in 10
counties, and the work is progressing
most satisfactorily.

I swung out over the heads Of the as

bar of my trapeze-a section of broom

THEY ALL WERE AMERICANS
Interesting Observations on the Prod.
uct of the Netting Pot by
Frederick Palmer

Where were the foreigners? / Won
dered as / looked at the faces in the
streets upon my return from Europe.
The French, who had heard much of
our pOlyglOtry, asked this question
when they saw our soldiers march
ing along the roads of France. In
French eyes the men were all of the
elgn born, as we'll as sons of every
race in Europe. Frederick Palmer
writes in Harpers.
Are you Americans? their adopted
country asked of them in those trying
days. They gave their answer in sac
rifice at home and in battle often
fighting against an enemy of their own
blood Zalinskfs. Ensteins, Schmidts,
Bertellis, Katsanjans won the Distin-
guished Service Cross, thrilling our
pride with new sense of nationaIism.
Had they now reverted to loyalty to
the lands of their origin? If so, what
had wrought the change in their
hearts?
To my fresh view all the people
were distinctively Americans in garb
and taste; in their complexion, which
our climate SO promptly affects; In
their brusque and frank civility their
intensity, their pleasures, and their
restless motion. Later, as l became
settled at home and more discerning,
| might note that this or that person
was of Swedish, Italian, Hungarian
or Slav stock. Then | would see
through the veneer, as / was told.
But aren't most of us-again, not a
new idea-whO are "Off the reserva-
tiOn," of foreign stock? My people
missed the MayfiOwer and came over
ill 1886. l could not discern that the
descendants Of the Pilgrims were more
American than / was Or than a dark
eyed telephone girl whose father was
an Italian immigrant.
Not even in the mean streets did |
find patches. | saw no Shriveling ba-
bies In emaciated mothers arms on
bread lines in the European sense,
though conditions were bad enough
from the point of view of desired
standards which must ever call our
ambition away from stagnation of

Of worlds" In place Of saloons in
mean streets and average streets, new
stores and restaurants had appeared.
How clean the restaurants were COM
