MINNEAPOLIS MINI SATURDAYS JUNE To- 1929
DRIVE OUT RUSS REDS
Persians Rid Their Country Of
Last Of Communists.
Failure Of 5oIshevik Invasion Of Per.
sia Attributed to QuarreIs Of Three
Bandit chiefs-Russians Are
Rather Cynical.

Baku, Azerbaija The last of the
Russian communists have arrived here
from Persia, fleeing before the troops
OF the shah, under the general direc-
ton Of the prime minister, Ghavamos
Saltane, who demanded that the terms
OF the Anglo Russian treaty for both
.-aatioss--to Let -PersiA work out her
own destiny be observed.
Rotstein, the soviet ambassador to
Teheran, has been sent home, among
others. .ss, =
The invasion of Persia was under
taken in 1920, the Russian communists
cooperating with three revolutionary
bandit chiefs Of Persia-Ehsanella,
Kutchik and Haidar. ~
The failure of the movement is at
tributed here to quarrels between the
three bandit Chiefs
Now that the effort of soviet Russia
to sovietize Persia has definitely
failed, the Russians are taking a rath-
er impartial If not cynical view of the
events during the last year., They
maintain that the 60 or so little shahs,
or feudalist landlords each with his
court and army, continue to weaken
the central government by their quar-
rels and ambitions, and that, so long as
they have any power, no nationalist
movement is possible and Persia will
remain almost in the same condition
as England of centuries ago under the
barons. ~
Aside from the Anglo Russian treaty,
multitude of reasons are given for
the Red failure in Persia. One is that
the soviet freedom to women, includ-
ing abandoning of the chadrah, or veil,
pleased the women, but not their hus-
bands, and made many enemies for
the soviet. -. - :.
Another reason was. that the Rus
slams mistQok the feudalists for re-
formers. These persons were ready
for any revolution that would over
throw the power of the shah, until
they realized that communism would
wreck their own estates. ..a....-...
The merchant class at first welcomed
the communists, only later to grow
cold, as they saw the fruits of a divi-
sion Of property, house acquisitions
and other odds and ends of commu-
nisfn. .1I..-.j,.sS
Yet another reason was that the
peasants themselves, trained in the
Islamic law to respect property, re
fused to accept division of land be-
longing to their landlords.

BONUSES CAME EASY,
Frenchman Quits Baking to Live
on Soft Money.
Found That Regimental Accounts
Were Behind and Collected $1,000
Francs Before Crooked Work
Was Discovered. z~-.* ~,

Paris.-1n prewar days there was a
baker in Paris as honest as baker
could be-. Then he went to the front
and fought well, receiving two wounds
and two mentions in army dispatches.
When he came home he found work
hard to get, but that would not have
lnterfered with his honesty except for
the good or bad luck of getting paid
his rehabilitation bonus twice over.
He kept both and began to think.
If two bonuses were sent to him
there was no logical reason why three
or four, or forty, might not equally
well come his way, so he wrote to his
former regiment complaining that he
had not received his bonus, and be-
cause regimental accounts were not up
to date, as has happened before, a
third bonus was sent to him. He
thought no more of baking bread.
he wrote to the appropriate depart
ment, saying that he had lost his mill
tary papers and might new identity
papers be sent to him. They were.
Then he wrote to other regiments
dozens of other regiments complain
ing that his bonus had never been
sent to him, and let them send it and
be quick about it or the ministry of
war would hear about it.
Some regimental accounts were
properly kept and up to date. These
took no notice or wrote in reply that
he had mistaken his regiment. Others,
with less clear consciences, sent the
bonus by return. In two years the
hero Crook baker made no less than
$4,000 francs out of the fears of quar-
termaster sergeants and the like. Then
the crash came, and now he is in
prison awaiting his fate.

Through the publicity given to the
Landru execution, notice has again
been attracted to the guillotine, and
the Socialist papers, of which there
are number in Paris, are demanding
abolition of capital punishment or that
guillotinings take place in the privacy
of prison.
In fact the public is not admitted
to executions, except when there is
laxity on the part of the local Off
Gals, the publicity being due to the
presence of reporters. It is urged that
reporters should not be required to
attend such functions, as the public
would accept as accurate any prison
governors announcement that a man
had been guillotined without assurance
by newspaper men. =.
Operates 1870 Years.
In few weeks the guillotine will
have operated for 100 years in
France. Before the Revolution, con-
demned persons were put to death in
various ways. In some cases bones
were broken by blows from an iron
bar. Others were made to die in
agony on the wheel. Many mobiles
were decapitated with the sword. The
majority, however, were hanged. In
1870, a humanitarian, Doctor Guillo-
tin, procured the issuance of a decree
that a criminal should be decapitated
by a simple machine with knife,
(which should fall like the thunder
Actually, GuillOtin, who was a profess
sor of anatomy in the Paris School of
Medicine, had nothing to do with the
construction of the sinister machine,
and he died of chagrin because his
name was given to it. -. s
A German harpsichord maker
named Schmidt built the first guillo-
tine under the direction of Doctor
Louis, secretary of the Academy Of
Surgery. Louis XVI, who prided him.
self on his skill as a locksmith and
his knowledge of mechanics, is said
to have advised the adoption of the tri-
angular form of knife instead of the
scythe-shape of the original design.
This story of the king, who was SUBJ
sequently to lose his head on the gull
lotine, is discredited in many quar-
tiers, although it appears in the
Memoirs of Samson, one of the great
hangmen
Crowds in First.
To the first guillotining, which took
place in 1902 on the Place de Greve,
the people of Paris thronged in
crowds. At the swift end of Nicholas
Pelletier, footpad who had robbed
and stabbed to death a traveller, they
clapped their hands with satisfaction.
After that the guillotine was kept
busy. From August, 1892, to July,
1904, 1882 persons were beheaded, in
Guiding 1874 women.
In recent years the amount of gull
lotining has largely depended on the
personal views of the President of the
moment. Thirty years ago President
Carnot executed everybody who had
been sentenced to death. Then Presi-
dent Fallieres went to the other ex-
IRENE, being opposed to guillotining
anybody. This led to an outcry, in
consequence of which criminals guilty
of particularly brutal murders escaped
the penalty. From 1912 the death ma
chine has worked with regularity.
But there has always been latent
hostility and the Landru case has
brought it to the surface. In addition
to the cry for abolition of capital pun
ishment there is a demand for certi-
tude that man is guilty before being
beheaded, and in Landru's case GER
titude was not established.

The Cultivation of Beans.

A few suggestions may be given
about the cultivation of early string
beans or snaps. 1t is very important
to grow them early as possible and
where a number of farmers are plant
ing with the idea of marketing at the
same time to afford shipping in car
lots, it is important that they be
planted as neal the same time as pos
sible. In growing a large quantity one
can not afford to take the risk of
having the frost kill them. 1t is
therefore best to wait as late as it is
thought safe to plant. I think they
may be planted in the Edgefeld sec
ton as soon after the first of April
as possible.
Get the land in thorough order. The
land should be narrowed and put in
fine shape, thoroughly pulverized so
Ahat no clods are to be found. Rows
should be laid off 80 inches apart,
very shallow, not over two lncnes
deep. At least 1000 pounds of high
grade guano should be put in the drill
and mixed with the dirt. The beans
should be planted about 1 IL inches
in the drill and covered about one
inch. Plant and cultivate them on a
level. They can be planted with a
corn planter but be sure to get them
thick enough. Most seed catalogs ad-
wise planting three inches apart but
that is too thin. It is also a great mis-
take to plant them on a ridge. Be
careful that you do not cover them
too deep.

Mrs. Thomas Rainsford Hos
tess for u. d. c.

The U. D. C.'s February meeting
was held on st. Valentines afternoon
at the spacious colonial home of Mrs.
Thomas Rainsford in Buncombe.
Souvenir hearts were pinned on each
guest upon her arrival.
The president, Mrs. Jeff Wright,
presided over the business session,
after which, Mrs. Helen Nicholson
conducted an interesting historical
program.
Mrs. P. P. Blalock, ST., read an orr
ginal article which dealt with General
Lees parentage and early environs.
Mrs. Nicholson had secured a clip
ping from an old Advertiser of 1861,
preserved in an old scrap book, in
which an account of General Stone
wall Jackson's death was graphically
given.
The historical work of the chapter
is proving very interesting this' WIN
ter, and the Daughters are ensering
enthusiastically into the plan to gath
err all the "reminiscences possible. At
the@hext meeting, each Daughter is
to bring everything possible in, and
also any contribution for the museum
at Richmond. There are already a
/. number of interesting relics in view
to be sent, one a MIME ball, which
Mrs. Blalock exhibited, was one that
injured a relative of hers in the fight
ing around Atlanta.
The Daughters are going to pur-
chase a copy of women of the South
in the Confederacy" which will be an
invaluable reference book.
After the interesting meeting, a
delightful social hour was enjoyed,
during which a tempting salad
course, carrying out the Valentine
ideas, was served.

Partly True Though Told in.

True, though sad to relate,
We are not so very far from a saw,
age state;
We claim to be refined and up to
date,
But there still clings to us some say,
age trait.
The men in manner oft-time show it,
By their selfshness we all know it;
For right or wrong, they just go it;
Sick or. well they take your row and
hoe it.
And like a pack of wolves, when a
fellow gives out,
When he no longer can continue his
route;
They all begin to crowd round about,
And trample him to death with a big
shout.
The women too, still have a ta!nC
And some confne it to powder and
paint
And things to make them what they
amt,
With back-to-nature stunts with lit
tie restraint.
And feathers and beads in their head
gear,
Will always be in evidence I fear;
To remind us that just here
Traits of the savage still appear.
This information also savage history
supplies,
They wore horn rings in their noses
to make them look wise,
And modern fashion for men and
women to u surprise,
Has decreed horn rings for the eyes.
This takes us back to the hoot-owl
stage,
Where owl eyes were the earmarks
of the sage,
And now, no matter what your age,
You must look wise like an owl to.
get a look in on the page.
Why magnify old age, eye weakness
and defect
And try to keep false teeth such a
secret, Shy heck?"
Let's have an outside band that clasps
around our neck,
To make our mouths look like they
would hold at least a peck.
This would make us look rich al
though we were poor,
For it would appear to take alot of
feed for such a door,
And it would magnify our converse
ton more,
And in keeping with horn-rimmed
glasses I am sure.
