One Observation-Disclosures"

In the midst Of the general growing
1t is meet that someone should arise
and announce a thanksgiving. The
justification as well as the opportunity
is here. In the one article of food
which almost more than any other
fills the stomachs of the world there
is plenty. Potatoes Now, the potato
is not an object of beauty or adula-
ton; it has only passable bloom,
and it's form is prosaic, but when it
comes to real substance it stands as
one of the great things Of the world.
It is the statement of l.. I'll. Bailey, an
authority on agricultural matters, that
zone acre of potatoes frequently fur
nishes as much human food as ten
acres of wheat" The potato produc-
ton of the world rises to the extra
ordinary total of 5,000,000,000 bushels.
Yields of 1000 and even of 1920 bush
els to the acre are on record. In our
country it leads all truck crops. In Eu-
rope the potato crop is doing as much
as any other agency to save the pe0-
pie. 1t is a godsend to the stricken
lands. In America it is furnishing
about the only cheap food in sight
Great is the potato! 1t is not lovely,
but it fills the bill.-Baltimore Amer

DO HEAVY WORK OF FARM
Women Who Supply City of kiev With
Milk Toll Long Hours and
OVERWHELMINGLY.

Wars and revolutions may change
the face of a land and bring untold
woe upon non-combatants, as well as
soldiers, but the customs of a coun-
try are often more powerful than the
force of arms, writes Temple Manning
In the Cleveland Plain Dealer. Those
who survive keep on in much the
same way they went before the war,
and do their work as their fathers and
mothers did long before them. The
way the city of Kiev gets its milk is an
instance which proves the point.
For centuries the mothers of the
families which ran the farms about
the city were the milkmaids of Kiev.
Today the farmers wives and their
daughters-despite the tumults in and
about that city--see that Kiev is not
without its milk.
The women do the heaviest part of
the farm work. They have always
done it. They would be surprised
should they be told that in another
land men do the heavy work of the
farm. And not the least hard work
of the farms in the neighborhood OF
Kiev is the caring for the cows, the
milking and the getting of that milk
to market For in Kiev there are no
milk companies which gather the milk,
transport it and sell it.
At daybreak and often earlier than
the sun, the farm wives of Kiev rise
and hurry into the barnyard. They
care for the cows and do the milking.
But their work is not then done. In
small jars which hold perhaps two
quarts, the women pour the milk. They
fill as many jars as the milk the cows
have given require. Then they tie
three or four jars together, and at
tach them to one end of a pole. TO
the other end of the pole they tie
the rest of the jars. STOPPING, they
get one shoulder under the pole, lift
the milk jars, and off they start TO
market.
The distance may be six miles or
even more, and the weight of the milk
jars very great, yet these milkmaids
of Kiev are used to hard work, and
to carrying great weights. Uncom-
planning they start down the long
road, which may be deserted when they
leave their farmhouse. But before they
have gone far they are joined by wom-
en- from other farms, until the milk
procession into Kiev becomes an al
most continuous line of women carry
ing their burdens carefully to mar
ket, where they sell their wares.

Is SO prevalent at the present time.
1t has been said that the United
States is gradually becoming nation

owners can expect to survive. The
man who owns a home has something

the polls when vital issues are at

Migration, and Emigrations.

THE world story of migration, colonization and
i emigration is rather strange one. Colo
nizaton has always been-exceptions proving the
rue-from the East to the West. In the day Of
long ago this seemingly by movements of en-
tire peoples, bag and baggage, lares and penates,
and the house dog But later settlement ceased to
be horde migration and by discovery, fol-
lowed by gradual taking possession IN small
groups.
In this form of colonization only the British
have been conspicuously successful and only on
practically unoccupied continents. In population
Britain has been of the smaller nations; but in
spreading herself the world, she has exceiled
all the others combined North America, Australia
New Zealand are her monuments and her only
rivals have been the Spaniards and Portuguese in
the South Americas.
But this second stage of settlement ended
century ago, to be succeeded by period of only
taking in possession for exploitation. Colonization
has amounted to little in Africa, and nowhere, if
there has been considerable native population,
have these been exterminated, nor dis
possessed were the American Indians.
1t is rather absurd to say now that any people
must have room for colonization or emigration;
that their country is overcongested and must
have more room for expansion. This was said by
Germans Of Germany. 1t is said of Japan by the
Japanese. But neither have will colonize. They
only desire to go where there is already settled
development, to live in groups among those who
have made place for them and already assured
their success.
Russia used all sorts Of devices to push her
people from the west, east into Siberia She never
succeeded in making them pioneers by preference,
as were the British in this country. Even now
there vast wastes there to which the Japanese
refuse to 60 traders. 1t is too cold, they
say, just as Forfnosa is too full of other forms of
the strenuous. Indeed It seems that the days of
colonization past, and the days of emigration
have gone with them. All people now seek the
easier and more assured, and not the way of the
strenuous.
