THE TSSlAN COLLAPSE

Twenty million persons in Russia
ar" on the verge of starvation. and
yet there has been 30 crop failure in
that country. The trouble is that
under he soviet rllo the transpOrta-
tiOn system and the currency system
have broken down.
Th" railroads HAY" h""n allowed to
20 To ruin and TIA" money issued by
the government is worthless.
All trad" is now done on a barter
basis, \ man exchanges something
that h" has for something that he
wants. There is no credit.
Farmers have more fOodstuffs than
they need, but here is no market
for the surplus. People in the cities
and towns are out of food. but they
have nothing to give the farmers in
exchange for it, They are out of
work. and even if they could get
work and receive money for their
work. the money would be worthless
and the farmers would not take il.
The disaster has been brought on
ny 'U' tTiIN ulttIll Oh soviet tbnlIOl
of the government and all govern
mrnt activities. Soviet rule means
that all men are equal and have an
equal voice in the government. Ig-
norancr and incompetcncy are put
on the same level as experience and
ability.
The old government in Russia was
corrupt and despotic. and people suf-
cred much. The old government de-
served to die. but this new govern
ment doesn't deserve to live.
Hundreds OF thousands OF persons
are going starve to death under
| soviet misrule before relief can reach
them. There will be change of
some kind after awhile. and then
conditions will begin to improve, but
what a fearful price will have been
paid for change in government.

inr IN court now against differtn,
folks for such Violations.
There are two great reasons why
practically everybody wants this
dipping continued and finished now
$, az to r.t all Qunnrantinrs raised
The ur.t is that folks do not want
to have to 20 all through the process
asiln. the second is that the people
of the county have expended some
$50, 900 in the work and this would
be Il loss II the work were to b,
dropped now. and all cattle sold from
this county would be pcnali2ed ii
the quarantine were rc-established
over the county AS Il whole.
Il was the unanimous opinion OF
those present that the dipping should
be continued until there is not a
quarantncd spot in the county and
that the law should be enforced
strenuously as to all violators. In
this the officials present heartily
pledged their unfaliering support.

LAWYERS AND JUDGES.

A new objection to feminine ju-
rors has been voiced by young wO-
man lawyer of New Jersey, who lost
case before mixed jury.
THE nine young women in the
Jury were swayed by the smiles and
compliments OF the handsome young
lawyer on the other side" COM
planned the lady. MY case was
won until then"
Now, what shall we do? Shall we
put jury duty for women to sud
den end, or shall all good looking
men be refused admission to the
bar? We shall do neither. il we are
wise, as an exchange suggests.
Instead, we shall Danish the idea
that jury service is matter of sex
or influence, We shall insist that
every jury decision be in accordance
with the facts presented and not
with the emotions aroused.
What is still more important. we
shall stop the attempt Of lawyers to
influence juries by theatrical and
misleading methods.
And we shall drive from the bar
all that unsavory crew who debase
great profession by conniving at
the evasion of law, and who use
every trick, legitimate or illegiti-
mate. to protect criminals known tc
be guilty.

"One fruit after another comes in

Blessed indeed is the home where

oppressed adults and provide from
the surplus some revenue for the

WHY NOI l.lN +.

Sometimes You wonder what tn"
purpose j. in making Nou l.t' this
life. You mediate: Nv h"' j. 1t all
about. this thing We cali lit". What
is man? What am l. What il my
present "Nist"nc" here on earth a
preparation for?"
An answer To these questions Is
attempted in a now theory, III" dis
cussiOn of which is engaging the at
tention of many men in the scientific
world. The story is called time
binding" and its author is Count
Alfred Korsybski. Polish noble
man. who explains ii in his book,
Manhood of Humanity"
Plants have only on" purpose, h"
says-tO take energy from tn" sun
and convert it into chemical energy
Plants can't move about. Animals
eat the plants and. while they can
move about in spac" AZ will. they
also are spacc-bonnd.
But mans not Gagged 10y space. II"
moves in time, hcnc" h" Is time
bound. That is, what You do now
excrts II definite influence on things
that will happen after you ~" ma
terally dead. I.ik" Elias Howe, who
by invcnting tn" sewing machine,
started something that gave him tr"-
mendOuS influence after his death.
No horse knows that his ancestors
were as small as cats. No horse is
Il, ,,,,.Y ~ I., c,,t Il
tion of horses. That is because
horses. like all plants and all ami
malS, are space bound.
e-histOric bees did their work
exactly the sam" way as tn" bees
of today. No expert be-" passed on
to future generations any discoveries
about how to make more honey in
less time Bees, like animals and
like plants. ar" spac"-bound con
cerned only with tn" present. ignor-
ant of the past. oblivipus f" the flu
ture.
Man. however, has tn" time bind
ing power which frees him from
space. From tn" beginning H." has
sought, learned and passed on To pos
terity ways of getting Greater re-
turns in less time.
Most of the material wealth now
existing in the world is not the pro-
duct of the toll of those now living.
1t Is a gift from the dead and this
is as true of organized society and
efficient methods of doing things AS
1t is true of physical gifts from past
generations such as clearing timber
lands for farms or building rail
roads.
Man records history. acquires wis
dom. makes paogress and rrcatcs
material and spiritual wealth to be
passed on to future generations.
Animals cannot do this. as kors-
byski points out. Hence. man is not
an animal.
He has conquered spac"-bound na e
ture.
He has the power of binding
the ability to use the present as il
link to bind the past to the future.
Obviously, then, the function of
every man and woman including
yOurself--is service to humanity for
the preesnt and for all time. not
merely as matter Of personal or
present gain. like space bound ami
mails. In others words. our great
est mission in life is to do things
while here that will be helpful to
those among whom we live now as
we'll as to those who will come after
us.
