Lenine's Return
to Russia
A Bolshevik Writer Tells of
the Trip Through Germany

Riga. Latvia. Dec. 3.-Karl Ra-
dck. the Dolshevik writer and prop
agandist. has published an article
in the Moscow Pravada's edition
celebrating the fourth anniversary
OF the Lenine revolution in which
Radek denies the widely-circulated
story that the Boisi1eyik revolution
in Russia was financed by German
gold
Padek's article is devoted to a.
description Of the historic return of
Nikolai Lenine from Switzerland
through Germany 20 Russia in the
spring of 1917. with the permission
Of the German government. This
was the beginning OF the revolu-
ton and of Russias withdrawal
from the war.
Radek asserts that Lenine aad
his party OF 40 sent an emissary to
the Gerala.l minister in Switzerland
asking free passage for all enni-e
grants who wanted to return TO
, Russia and insisting that during
their passage. the German govern
mcnt should not attempt 10 enter
into communication with them.
'On our side" Radek asserted,
Eve promised to do everything for
| Tightening the position Of German
prisoners Of war in Russia and also
10 expedite the return Of German
invalids from Russia TO Germany.
After d little time, the German
! government agreed TO our coridi-
tons. OF course, it vas quite clear
Sto Us that the German government
intended 20 speculate on this epi-
sode, recognizing that after our ar
rival in Russia we would work for
, peace. But this conjecture interest
ed US very little for we knew that
if, in Russia, the revolution took
proletarian turn then its influence
, would tell far beyond the confines
Of Russia
The party, says Radek. had an
escort of German officers and, when
| it halted at railway stations, secret
agents surrounded it to keep the
NICIllGu SSiiO OlliCi PC9 SOiiS
away from the dangerous Bolslle-
Wiki.
The returning enigrapts were SO
hilarious that Lenine had to take
over executive authority and bring
about some order.
One attempt was made while the
rrain was passing through Ger
many, says Radek. to sound out the
party on the question Of working
Tor peace with Germany. This was
made, he declares, by German
who said he wanted TO greet the
Russians, in the name Of the Central
Commission Of German Trade
Unions, but Radek believed he was
acting IN behalf Of the German gov
ernment. The Bolsheviki, Radek
says, refused to deal with him.
The Russian patty then went to
Stockholm, where, says Radek,
I'VE received 800 Swedish kroner
which apparently was that vast sum
which was figuring in all tales Of
French patriots as German gold
funds supplied for the Russian
revolution

Is
The aatagenistic attitude and
criticism offered by New York aud
Chicago physicians TO the work Of
Dr.. Adolf Lorenz. the eminent
Austrian surgeon, in behalf of the
crippled children Of America. is
not only regretrahle. but deplor-
able declared DIR. G. L. Bare
wald, mayor cf Davenport. today.
TIE mayor spoke with considerable
feeling Us he said the above.
The attitude Of these physicians

tinued DR.. Barewald. The physi-
clan, of al professions, should be
broad-minded and liberal But
am sorry to say that only too often
they reveal Themselves. to the con-
trary.
Continuing, pr. Barewald said:
The standing of DR.. Lorenz as
one OF the worlds greatest sur
seons is indisputahle. His visit to
America at this time is a. hurnani-
tartan move. and not pecuniary
This is proven in the fact that in
New York he is treating some Of
the poorest children, in the metro
polls. For this work he does not
receive a. penny. And everyone
knows it takes just as long time
to treat y moor child as it does the
rich. But D.. Lorsnz is not cater
i:is, TO the wealthy. FIe is serving
humanity and serving it with a big,
generous heart that recognizes no
distinction in race, creed or station
in life He is the type of man for
whom l have the highest respect
and admiration.
L am pleased t. observe that
Health Commissioner Copeland of
New York City is a strong cham
pion and defender of DR.. Lorenz.
After being invited to come to this
country, he certainly is entitled to
the respect and courtesy of all loyal
Americans. We American doc
tors may know great deal about
medicine and surgery, but it is the
height of folly to assume that We
know it all.
DIR. Lorenz has made life study
Of joint diseases and is a recognized
world authority in this particular
line. During the world war he has
had wonderful opportunities for
observation and the application Of
advanced surgery. It is bat natur-
al, therefore, that be comes, to this
country with new ideas and new
experiences not enjoyed by the
average American doctor.
Instead of criticising and OBJ
strueting his work, how much more
humane and generous it would be
for all of US to extend to him, the
warm hapd Of welcome and good
fellowship and enaeavor to profit
ourselves through his knowledge
and ability Undoubtedly in GER
tain branches OF surgery American
physicians are more. skilled than
DR.. Lorenz, but in his particular
line we must admit his master
ship.
The day and age of higotry,
jealousy and seHshness should be
put in the discard. Let the newer
and brighter light and faith per-
naeate the whole world. ."-paven-

ton, to be held in st. Paul, Jan. 2,

livestock, grain, wool potato and
other terminal selling institutions
with which the Minnesota Farm Bu-
reau Federation is cooperating, will
be on the program to report on pro-
gress during the year and suggest
plans for expansion in 1923.
Railroad rates OF fare and half

attending the convention have been
obtained by r. L. French, secretary.
''To profit by this arrangement" Mr..

attending should obtain a certificate
at the time the ticket is purchased.

these certificates will be endorsed by
federation officials, which indorse-
ment will entitle the purchaser to q

Ice Cream Real Food

Increased consumption of ice cream
is urged by G. D. Dahle, of the dairy
husbandry division of the state uni
versity. Ice cream, says Mr.. DAZZLE,
should no longer be regarded as a
luxury to be eaten on certain occa-
sions only. What has been consid-
cred a CONNECTION has, he says, def
mite food values equal to those Of
many other foods.
Comparing the fuel value Of ice
cream with that of various common
foods, Mr.. Dahle says that a quart or
a brick of ice cream which weighs
about IL pounds is equal to three
and three-fourths pounds Of chicken,
one and two-f1fths pounds of beef
steak, IA eggs (medium size), four
fifths of a pound of ham or 1O%
pounds of tomatoes:
"All of the elements needed to
keep the body functioning correctly
are found in even larger amounts in
ice cream than in milk" says Mr..
Dahle. "Butterfat is present in ice
cream in large amounts, usually 10
to IA per cent, and this fat is es-
sential to the body for the production
of heat and energy. The fat from
this cold product produces other fat.
SO you can see If ice cream Is eaten
in the winter time 1t helps warm
your body. For this reason 1t Is not
a summer food. It would have q
greater cooling effect in the summer

CREAMERIES OPEN
OWN SUPPLY HOUSE
New Branch To Save Farmers
100000 a Year Says
Al. Mcclure ~
BY Farm Bureau News Service.

BY Farm Bureau News Service.
Organization Of a supply depart
ment, which will save farmers Of the
state 100000 a year. was announced
this week by A. J. Mcclure, general
manager Of the Minnesota Coopera-
tive Creameries Association. '"The
jobbing house has the possibilities Of
doing more than S1,O0O,00O worth
Of business yearly" Mr.. MCGUIRE says
because creameries in the associa-
ton annually spend that amount for
machinery and gupplies."
The department., which has been
under consideration for several weeks
is the most important project under
taken by the association In recent
months.
W. M. G. Rasmussen Of Albert Lea,
an experienced creamery supply man,
has been placed in charge. Oficers
have been obtained in the Central
Warehouse, st. Paul.
I'VE long have realized the need
for such a department" says Mr..
Mcclure. "Thus far, without try
ing to push that phase of the asso-
citation, we have handled more than
$4,000 worth Of machinery.
I'VE know that the department
will save 20 per cent on the average
ENTHUSIASTICALLY more. If our
supply house handles all the bust
ness Of member creameries, which it
should, the annual saving will be
around $500, 900 This money will
go directly into the pockets Of farm
ers patronizing cooperative creamer-
les, because the various companies
will be able to pay that much more
for butterfat; by reason Of the 1ower
operating cost"

ALFALFA COMING CROP
IN THE FARM SCHEME

Alfalfa growing in Minnesota
traces back to the year 1857, when
wendelen Grimm came to Carver
county. Mr.. Grimm brought seed with
him from Germany from which has
been developed one Of the best and
most hardy strains of alfalfa. The
variety which takes his name Is the
result of seed selected from hardy
plants that survived severe winters.
Alfalfa is rapidly becoming poDu-
lar among Minnesota farmers as hay
crop and iB gaining in popularity az
Q pasture crop for hogs. The num-
her of cuttings which can be har-
vested for hay usually makes an ag-
gregate yield Of three or Ave tons Of
the most palatable and nutritious
hay rich in protein. Alfalfa hay
we'll cured and properly stored has no
equal among Minnesota forages. The
relatively high percentage Of digest
fble protein and mineral elements
contained make it a desirable feed
for dairy cows, beef cattle, sheep
and swine. Horses should be fed
sparingly or they will gorge them
selves.
Where alfalfa is used as a hog
pasture most economical gains are
made. Alfalfa peculiarly lends it
self to pasturing with hogs. It is
very desirable to seed larger acre
age than the hogs actually need.
The excess may be cut for hay. Clip
ping allows the tender shoots to come
on, which the hogs can use to adj
vantage. Swine need much less
tankage or protein supplements when
on alfalfa pasture. Alfalfa is not
only the best hog pasture, but it is
the most permanent. Care should
be exercised in pasturing cattle,
horses, and sheep on alfalfa as bloat-
ing may result.
Seeding with or without nurse
crop may be practiced with excellent
results where conditions are favor
able. Scarif1ed seed should be used
at the rate of ten to twelve pounds
per acre. Grimm alfalfa is to be re-
commended for the entire state Of
Minnesota. Where it is impossible
10 secure Grimm seed, hardy north
ern grown seed Of other varieties
may prove satisfactory.
The seed bed should be well pre-
pared and reasonably fertile. ANY
good corn or potato land is sufficient
y rich to grow alfalfa. Where the
soil is sour or acid lime or mari
should be applied at the rate of two
tons per acre.
The acreage has increased conser-
vatively. The total acreage accord
