Russian Tarde
For Next Year

Riga, Nov. 17.-Russian trade, it is
expected, will materially benefit next
year by the various improvements
that have been projected AS an.
| nounced at Riga, the include the
deepening Of Windau harbor and tn
widening of the gauge Of some rail
way lines to permit through ship
ment from Baltic ports to Moscow.
A group Of local financ;crs is ar.
ranging to enlarge the docking, stor-
age and manufacturing facilities at
Libau where free port will be Gre
atcd
Consideration is being given to a
plan which will permit an Elelish
syndicate to rebuild, and enlarge rail
way equipment shops at Dvinsl,
Riga and elsewhere.
Attempts to interest American cap
ital in various projects to improve
Russian trade via Latvia have thus
far failed. According tc some Am
erican financiers who have visited the
country, this is principally due to
lack of recognition of Latvia by the
United States government
Many Italian, German and English
houses are opening branches in Riga
and Reval but such evidence of Am
erican enterprise are few. One Chi
cago meat-packing plant recently
opened branch, this constituting the
only American addition to the rapidly
growing colony of traders.
Extremely pessimistic views of the
possibility of doing any business with
Russia, recently reached Riga, cman
atine. it. understood, from .hc Brit
ish trade delegation to Moscow.
British, Italian and Ger
man traders are hoping for steady
in their business with
Russia next year, as new economic"
ret into full swing. Meanwhile they
are camping in Riga, content to do
little business now, as it is next years
,rade they are after.

Hundreds of
Prisoners Decapitated

Peking, Sept. 27.-(By Mail)-
Hundreds of Southern or Szechaunese
prisoners have been decapitated by
the Northern defenders Of Ichang, ac-
cording to reports brought to Peking
by foreigners who have been visit
ing the Ichang front. The troops who
are doing the decapitating are not
the soldiers of WI Pei-fu, but the
original garrison of Ichang which has
looted the city three times during the
last four months. The bodies of
their victims are invariably stripped
of their clothing and then thrown
into the Yangtze together with their
heads.
These atrocities were brought to
General WI Pei-fu's attention on his
arrival at Ichang owing to the fact
that some of the original garrison
one day mistook a Chinese collector
for the Standard Oil Company for a
Southern soldier and cut off his head
in the usual manner. They did not
find out their mistake until they went
through their victims clothing in
search of lood and found instead docu-
ments proving his identity.
In order to smooth matters over
they at once fished the head and the
body of the deceased out of the river,
sewed them together again and
bought the best coffin that they could
afford. Corpse and coffin were then
carried to the home Of the deceased,
where profuse apologies were offered
to his family for the incident.
The Standard Oil Company, how
ever, is not satisfied with tIese apol-
ogies and has demanded that a sola-
tium be paid the wife and children Of
the. murdered man.

WOODROW WILSON.
movement

James Smith, of st. Louis, who was
one of Mr.. Wilson's most efficient
managers in his last campaign for
President, was in Washington on
Armistice Day and had long visit
with his candidate, and this story is
told in the New York World about
Mr.. Smiths impressions of the true
head of the Democratic party:
~ found, so far as mental attitude
is concerned, almost the same man
that / last talked with in the White
House before he was taken ill. He is
keenly interested in everything that is
going on, and, if he ever lost, he has
regained the sense of humor that
made him delightful confere while
president"
Mr.. Smith declared that so long as
the former President remains seated,
no one, however close to him, could
II there was the slightest physical
;Ipairment. "He has the same keen
yes, the same gestures, the same
sense 'of humor that he had before
ne was taken ILL.," Mr.. Smith con-
'inued, "and he has cost none of the
Zen analytic sense that has always
enabled him to instantly grasp the
parport and find the answer to any
suoject that might be presented"
The World adds:
Mr.. Wilson seems to have in no
way suffered from the activity of
participating in the funeral process
or the tremendous demonstration
staged at his home that afternoon by
more than 10000 persons. To enter
the procession. Mr.. Wilson arose at 7
o'clock and with Mrs. Wilson rode iii
an open carriage from his home to the
Capitol, down Pennsylvania Avenue
to the White House and then back
home.
The afternoon demonstration in his
honor lasted nearly three hours, and
most Of that time he was on his feet,
waving his hat and his hands, nodding
to the throng and shaking hands with
those near the door. The day was cold
and for many minutes he stood bare
headed. He also was under an in
tense emotional strain, which finally
gave way to tears, from the tribute
paid by his admirers.
He was said to have been very tired
after the demonstration was over.
If he were only strong enough
the way to the succession in the gov
ernment at Washington would be
clear. The most conspicuous figure
in the procession that followed the
Unknown Dead" to Arlington, he
will remain the most conspicuous fig
ure in all the history of the world
of the present period because of the
service he gave when civilization was
the stake at hazard.-Spartanburg

Trapping Looks Easy.
Wild-anlmal trapping looks easy to
most farm boys until they have tried
and failed. Success demands knowl-
edge Of the animals and their habits.
The red fox. for instance, must be
caught by wlles as cunning as his own.
Traps and the ground where they are
set must be free from human scents.
Steel traps are cleaned by boiling with
puDgeDt twigs or by burying or leaving
in running water for day or two. af-

with leather or waxed cotton gloves.

FARM EQUIPMENT ESSENTIAL
Successful Management Of Crops De-
Pends Greatly Upon Efficiency
Of Implements.

The successful management Of a
modern farm largely depends upon
the efficiency Of the equipment with
which the work is performed. special
lists Of the United States Department
of Agriculture point out.
The equipment of the average farm
can be divided into about three more
or less distinct classes, as follows
First and most important. are the
buildings, fences, implements, machin-
cry, wagons and all appliances used In
the more important farming opera
tlons; second. utensils and machinery
used in connection with the dairy, gar
den tools, butchering outfit, and the
numerous small things foT general use
about the place third, the tools, ma
terlals, and facilities for keeping the
first two classes Of equipment In good
working order.
In order TO secure the greatest eff
cheney. all implements and machinery
should be properly housed when not
In actual service, so as to be In good
working condition when required for
use.

sufficiently strong. This is especially
true when containers are used more
than once. Shipping containers should
be light In weight but sufficiently dur
able to carry the produce.
Size.-The size OF a container de-
pends upon the desires OF the custom
ers. Most persons wish TO obtain small
quantities Of each product at a time.
Containers should be just large enough
for the produce shipped. II the carton
Is too large or too small. both the
produce and the contalner are likely
to be damaged, for the produce will
not be kept in place and the contalner
viii be crushed. The larger the guam
tlty Of produce shipped in one parcel
the lower will be the cost per pound
for transportation and the lower the
contalner cost per pound.
Appearance.-A container should
present an attractive appearance. both
on arrival and when opened, and
should show the produce TO advantage
OF course, new containers are more
attractive than those which have
been used; and only those second.
hand containers which are clean
should be used again.
cost.-The cost OF GSntainers puts a
distinct Limitation on small shipments
OF farm produce. A shipment must
have considerable value In order that
the transportation charges and cost of
contalner may not equal large per
centage OF the price. The price which
can be reasonably paid for container
will depend on the value OF the con.
tents. the cost OF transportation, and
the price received for the produce az
compared with the price that could
be received locally. A maximum price
that should be paid cannot be stated,
