RUSSIA LACKS
 LEh1ERSnIP FOR
 ITS INDUSTRIES

Moscow, Jan. 25.-Russia's lack of constructive leadership for its indus trial and commercial reconstruction becomes more apparent every day, and the necessity for inducing lefu- gees to return is clearer to the Bol- shevists, perhaps, than to non-Bolshe- vists who have less knowledge Of the 1nett1clenscy of government depart ments and the difficulties the Com nlunists have behind the scenes.
 Premier Lenine has repeatedly stressed the desirability of attracting back to Russia the 2,0O0,000 Russians who have fled to otIer countries and represent the cream of Russian intel hgence The engineers, scientists, bankers, teachers and merchants are greatly needed.
 Let's, Esthonians and Lithuaniana played large part in the business life of old Russia. They had enjoyed the benefits of both Swedish and Ger man culture. Many of them are high ly trained specialists and managers and directors of various enterr rises. But they have nearly all left 5.sor- ganized Russia and taken up resi- dence in the new Baltic states.
 Baltic merchants will not re-enter trade in Russia for they lack conf1- dence in the Communist government. resume their old work under govern ment concessions. Even property owners, are unwilling to take back their apartment houses and hotels unuer the proposed cOnceSSlOn pan. Consequently the new economic poll cy is falling far short of expectations
 Free domestic trade is not entirely free. The term Is mislea ding. It is impossible for merchants to ship goods at will on Russian railways. Permits are required for each shfo- ment. u is difficult to get these. The piIfering on rail lines is eXtenslve There is no insurance.
 It is largely through the goods car ried by hand that markets in the great cities are supplied Railway mon carry flour and sugar from the Ukraine to eke out an existence. It brings better price in Moscow and Petrograd. Meat is also carried to the cities by railway employees and regular dealers who employ carriers
 Lenines insistence that the gov ern- naent must win the confidence and support of the intelligent classes is generally regarded as a preparation for further movements to the right in governmental policies as soon as it is possible to make them without dis rupting the Communist party utter ly.
 The Communist party is rapidly be- coming a party in the sense that the United States and England have par ties. Its important leaders show daily signs of making further con- sessions to the hostile majority which will have nothing to do with Com rnunist principles, or half-Communist schemes, such as the concession plan of letting factories to old owners.
 The building up of the Far Eastern Republic at Chita under Bols1evist domination but with general elections and right of private property. is look ed upon in Russia as an indication of revised policies which will eventually be adopted in European Russia.

 The order is very popular amUng Catholic women. The nuns are most ly French and are women of culture and education. Teaching is a part of their work, but most of their efforts are in providing a place of retire. ment for religious devotion and rest and in serving those who are un- happy and need to spend time in sec1usion Although most of their work is among Catholics it is not un- usual for Protestant to enter one of their retreats.

| $5O,OO0.OO damages, returned YER
dict in favor of the defendant at four
! O'Clock Tuesday afternoon. The case
went to the jury at 1920 O'Clock that

examined and numerous dcposltions
being considered.

Atty. Conmy Of the firm Of Young,
Conmy G. Young Of Grand Forks. a..
! The action was heard Ill federal

directing a verdict for the defendant.
The plaintiff appealed to the circuit
court of appeals and secured a new
trial
Gum was injured while driving Il
Standard Oil truck down the north
east hill four years ago. He claimed
that as he attempted to pass a farm
er's wagon, the steering gear locked
and altho he applied the emergency
brake, the brake failed to work. The
truck went down over a go foot en-
bankmcnt and Gum suffered Il brok-
en- collar bone in two places and
; claimed that one of his feet was
crushed. He alleged that he suffered
other injuries
The defendant claimed that when

en- truck back to Mnot, the wheels
dragged on account Of the emergency
brake being set.

SWAN FLIGHT

Bottineau Advocate. AN unusually
large flight Of swan. took place last
week. Flock after flock went over
Bottineau and the Turtle Mountains,
and numbers of them alight2d on
Lake Metigoshc. 1t is hard for the
hunters not familiar with this bird to
discriminate between them and the
wild goose, and so we are informed a
number Of said swan had rather close
calls before being identified. Some
old nimrods pronounced the swan as
the sandhill crane during their flight,
which of course is erroneous.

How Shall We Treat States
Neglected Children?

| The practice Of placing dependent
and neglected children together with
delinquent children in the same insti-
tuition for common treatment is
strongly condemned by the North
Dakota Children's Code commission in
it's report, just issued. This declara-
ton comes into direct collision with
the views Of DR.. w. +. McClelland,
president Of the State Training School
at Mandan. The commission, in its
program and proposed state children S
law code which is to be submitted to
the legislature at the coming session,
has included a bill expressly forbid
ding the practice mentioned, which is
declared to be somewhat prevalent" "
II believe it is entirely proper to
place the neglected and dependent
children in the same institution with
the so-called delinquents," declared
DR.. McClelland in an emphatic state
ment in Minot. "Their cases are
similar anyway. Both have been ne
elected and require special treatme mt.
The so-called delinquent, if given the
proper attention and understanding,
would usually not be delinquent. He
is frequently merely the product Of
neglect and misunderstanding. He is
not fundamentally bad.
"Your dependent and neglected
children would associate with the So
called dclinquents outside the institu-
tlon in ordinary society where there
lis the. least restraint and helpful en-
vironment. 1t cannot be worse to
place them together in an institution
under intelligent and kindly supcrvi-
sio and subjected to scientific treat
ment to mitigate their cases.
The declaration Of the Chidren's
Code commission on the subject is
strongly opposed to DR. McClelland's
report as follows:
"The inv vestigatipn discloses the
practice in some cases Of sending de-
pendent children to institutions in
which delinquents are confined. This
is especially true Of the State Train
ing School. About ten per cent of
the children committed to that insti
tuition are dependents. 1t is argued
in continuance of the practice that,
after all, those classed as delinquents
are merely boys and girls who have
made mistakes and that under close
supervision they are fit companions
for those not charged with delin-
qucncy. The officers Of the training
school and state board of admins ira
ton, of course, are not responsible for
this condition. All children in the
Institution have been committed by
the courts. Judges Of the district
curt who have been interviewed re-
Garding the practice -deDrecate what
to them has seemed the necessity OF
sending such children to an institu
tion correctional in character. In the
judgment Of the commission the prac-
tice is indefenSible and other means
of disposing OF dependents should be
found.
"The commission believes it mimi
cal to the well being and normal de-
velopment of d dependent and ne
elected child to be confined in any
almshousc or in any institution either
penal or reformatory, in which delin-
quents are kept"

DR.. II. l.. Walstcr, director of the N

~ the mapping that has progressed
! tttit.tsh far, 29 different types of coils
have been recognized, including mem
bers Of the Barnes, Bearden, Fargo,
Maple, LaMoure, Sioux and Pierce
soil series, states DR.. Walster. The
Barnes soils are soils which owe their
origin to deposition by ancient gla-
cal ice. The Beardcn soils arc built
up on the old beach that once lay
alongside of ancient Lake Agassz.
The Fargo soils are the old lake bot
tom soils. The Maple soils are poor
ly drained soils along the course Of
ancient glacial streams. The LaMourc
soils are soils built up by modern
streams and are subject to moro or
less flooding. The Sioux soils are well
drained soils frequently having grav-
ely subsoils. The Pierce soils are
minor in area and afe-trequently very
@ravelly, and usually occur as mark
ing special glacial formations, where
the material was largely stratificd

Field work will be completed on the
soils of Cass county during the sea-
