MOUNTAIN FALLS DOWN
 AND RUINS FARM LAND

WAYNE, w. Va, April 27.-A mourf- tain has fallen down in Grant district, Wayne County.
 The rocky peak and cliff weighing thousands of tons went directly over a country road and, filling up the bed of a twelve-pole creek has caused a flood.
 The creek, damned up by the de- bris, has overflowed on a large num- Der of 1owland farms and is causing much damage.
 Farmers have used hundreds of pounds of dynamite in an effort to blast away the dam, but so far have been unsuccessful.
 William Queen, a farmer whose barn was crushed when the mountain slide occurred, appealed to the county authorities. An engineer with a big crew of blasters will attempt to clear a new bed for the creek.

 He is Richard Green, colored, mes senger extraordinary. He has merited the friendship of a dozen Presidents and hundreds of Cabinet officers.
 Richard, six feet tall, as erect as a Sioux Indian, and with all the polish of a Chesterfield, holds now the post he has held for fifty years.
 He is the personad messenger of the Secretary of the Treasury. In diplo- macy Richard scores heavily. He is tactful, thoughtful, intelligent, grace full and raises the term politeness to it's highest meaning.
 Richard has guarded the entrance to the office of the Treasury head for half century and has served as the attendant of twenty-one Secretaries of the Treasury.
 He came to Washington when Ulysses s. Grant became President Of the United States. He is a native of Virginia, like most of the other col ored messengers stationed at offices of high dignitaries about Washington.

3l2 CHILDREN
 FROM SIBERIA
 SAFE AT HOME
Rescued by Col. Allen of Red Cross, Cared
 for Tenderly.

WARSAW, April 27.-Three hundred and twelve war orphans, children of Polish exiles who died in Siberia, have arrived here from the United States after 16 months of travel which took them almost around the world. There are 16S girls and IA boys in the party, the eldest 16 years and the youngest two and half. A committee of Chi cago women has charge of the chil- dren.
 Through the efforts of Colonel Riley Allen of the American Red Cross they were gathered up and transported across the Pacific to the United States, where they were domiciled at Chicago until their return to their motherland could be arranged. A few of the chil- dren still have fathers or mothers liv- ing, and these, having made their way to Poland, overland, have been await ing anxiously the children's return
 The voyage of the orphans from America was marred by terrific storm which on January 29 caught the steamer Princess Matoika one day out of New York and so damaged it that it was obliged to return to port. On February 6 the ship sailed again, docking at Bremen February 20. In the meantime an outbreak of measles in mid-ocean increased the hardships of the trip, II children falling ill. Four of these were too sick to proceed to the Polish border, and were placed in a Bremen hospital.
 The children all have been placed in charge of the Carita Association of Poznan, a fund of $26,0O0 having been raised in America to insure their care and education.

 A peculiar formation prevails in this section of the country, the pay does not lie in what is ordinarily called a paystreak but is of a kidney or pocket formation. The real import ance of the strike will not be revealed until drifting has been begun and the full gold bearing area revealed.

BOSTON. January 16.-Business on
the whole continues fairly quiet in
New England. The same restricted
buying policy which characterized
1921 is still in effect to a certain de-
gree. This conservative buying on the
part of merchants does not seem to
be dictated SO much by any expecta-
tion of lower prices, but, rather, be-
cause the habit of caution has been
acquired. OF course. many concerns
are taking inventory at present and
this means suspension of normal
activities temporarily.
Perhaps the most encouraging re-
cen, development has been the ac-
ceptance of substantial wage reduc-
tions ranging from 10 to 33 per cent
by the Lynn shoe unions. The Lynn
factories have been virtually closed
down as a result of demands that
the wage scale there be maintained,
and the acceptance of the cut is ex-
pected to result in a fresh influx Of
shoe business to New England
Wooden manufacturers report that

sponse from retailers. Orders Tor

Business men and bankers are opti-

Ing year, but 1t must be confessed
that there is disappointment in GER
tain quarters over the lack of activ-
ity In many lines. "Slow but steady
Improvement" is the phrase most
generally used by flnanciers in de-
scribing conditions. This is the Off
season in most agricultural lines, but
early movement of asparagus and
other vegetables will start soon. The
sudden and decided drop in egg prices
hit poultry men hard. but it brought
joy to the housewives
Boom conditions in the lumber in
dustry and indications Of the early
development Of producing wells in
new districts are among the favorable
signs Of the times. Money is easier
but is not yet plentiful for building
operation or business investment.
Operations in standard securities
still are keeping capital engaged. I'm
employment is far less serious than
was anticipated. although the problem
is growing more active in some of
the small interior cities. Building
operations are active in some sec
tions. but. taking this territory as a
whole. the activity in this line is

SAMARA, December 20.-Cold
weather is bringing with it much
typhus to add to the misery of hun

railway stations and trains afford
the typhus-bearing lice an excellent
opportunity to spread the malady.
The danger to foreigners is even
greater than to Russians, and con-

Because of the lack of sanitary
precautions in Russia, the American
