WILL NOT EAT CROWS
Starving Russians Willing to Eat Al

Eating crows seems literally to have
been the one thing the famine-strick-
on peasants of the Volga have rcfus-
cd to do. During the worst periods
of the hunger suffering. when cats,
dogs, clay and even more CHASTITY food
substitutes have been greedily de-
voured, the country has been full OF
big, black and gray crows.
So bold are these scavcnger birds
and apparently so unmolested by even
the hungriest peasants, that some OF
them even perch upon and peck at
meat supplies laden in sleds for
transport from the railway stations
to the villages.
Some of them may have been cat
en-, but the correspondent saw literal
ly hundreds of them at every place

way to Orenburg.
They were the fattest creatures In
the famine area.
Peasants with whom the correspon-
dent talked on this apparent anomal-
Gus condition, in n region where one
instance of cannibalism has been re-
ported admitted that crows might be
as good to eat as dogs or cats, but ad-
vanced various vague reasons as tc
why these birds had not been
slaughtered for food.
Some said there were no guns or
ammunition to shoot them and that
they were extremely hard to trap oil

CHAPTER XIV.

There was gloomy silence In the
shanty until the horses hoofs could
be heard no longer in the snow out
side. Larry Bishop scrouched low in
Jeremiah's rocking chair, pulling in
nervous tension at his fingers until
the Joints cracked. he shot FOLLY
Hopkins a furtive glance but dropped
his thick lids before the unearthly eX-
preston in the girls eyes. She had
LOST the look of heavenly compassion
that had given cheer to the sQuatters.
AS his mind went back to the spring
days when she had SO often smiled
comfort into his own aching heart, he
heaved a deep sigh. The sound of his
breath, catching in his throat, brought
Polly scrambling from the cot.
Unmindful of the. mOrose squatter,
she began pacing the floor, holding icy
fingers to her aching temples.
"Best take the pillows off'n her,
Foil" muttered Bishop. "She'll smoth-
er If you don't"
The girl paused and threw him a
glance over her shoulder.
"Get out of here: you Larry" she
bade him in fierce emphasis. "She'd
better smother than get what's comm
TO 'er. You an Lye hang around a
while till i call you. When I'm done
with 'er, you'll have to sink her in the
lake."
Staggering to his feet, Larry
brushed away the water that had
gathered in glistening drops upon his
brow. so
"God, Rid" he growled, "you don't
seem human no more. It's all so id
terrible I'm gettin' haunted. If you
change your mind, Poll an not kill
'er-"
A gurgling. noise came from under
the pillows on the cot, and as if an
unseen hand were pushing her for
ward, Pollyop strode to the bed and
jerked away the small feather ticks.
EvelynS eyes songht out the squat
ter man in mute pleading. Polly
laughed; and gray with horror at her
merciless attitude. Larry skunk to the
door
81 guess this amt none of my bIsi-
ness" he mumbled, and opening it,
he fed as if pursued by vindictiye
spirit of the Storm country.
Again With swift, long strides the
girl went to the door and barred il.
Then with utmost deliberation she
lighted several other candles and set
them in different parts of the hut I'M
til flood of light was dilfuscd
through the room.
A longNdeep sigh fell from her lips
as she finished her task. She wanted
to see every wave of pain that shot
across Evelyn MacKenZie's pallid
face; and that was why she ap.
preached the cot and stood looking
down upon the twisted figure.
All she had endured through the
rich girls perfidy swept over her Ike

Evelyn struggled and a muilled

at her side. She dropped down and

Farm Aids March 70 Prospe rlty

To the Editor of the Epenino Public Ledoer:
Sir-Based on farm prices MS of Sep.

~ the United States this year Is 81,
2Ju,oOO,OOO over that of 1921 In view
OF the fact that the total yield of some
or the principal crops is considerably
less than year ago, the statement l.
indicative OF healthy recovery in farm
values.
The. yield of the principal crops is
most imposing. Corn retains frs placo
as king of farm products, with mn es.
timated total yield of 2.S75, OO0 O0O
bushels. valued at 81, 1,SO1, ,0OO. 900 on
September !. Hay is second of rho
great billion dollar trinity, with n valuc
for wild and tame of 81, 16O, 200 600.
Cotton comes third. with n total esti. -.
mated value of 81 ,O64. 400, 900. To the
value of the cotton will be added finally
the income from the seed, which NAV
bring the total worth of the cron above
that for hay. Wheat is stt down for
contribution of 72O, goo. 900 70 tbe
grand total oats adds S4O4. 100 600 .

These figures are Of service because
they afford reasonable starting point
for calculating the condition of the

but are the more dependable because
they are down. Something approach.
