Bartering q large and comfortable
home for a single sack Of rye flour
was the experience OF relatives Of Rev.
V. Papermaster, who have written
here from their home in Ukrainia, q
semi-independent state in southwest
ern Russia, where non is nearly
worthless when considered even In the
almost INN easureable qua ntittes. The
communication which MI. Papermas-
ter has received Is one of a number
Of letters which have come recently
to Jews in the city telling Of condi-
tons which are prevalent in various
parts Of Russia where relatives of To-
cal people are living at this time.
Sent for Family.
Heimie Gleiken, who resides here,
has had negotiations under way for
more than one year to bring his wife
and children to the United States from
Russia, and because Of inadequate
postal regulations and poor transpor-
tation facilities, his efforts have thus
far been unsuccessful. Since July.
1922, 5000 has been sent to take care
of the steamship passage n inciden-
tai expenses Of the trip. but the tick
cts are still held in a Russian office,
and the expense money lies unused,
while the family writes here that liv-,
ing conditions are very poor and that
good food is a. rarity.
Rev. and Mrs. P~apermaster are now
expecting three of the latter's nleces
to arrive from Nthuania to make their
home here. 1t is believed they are now
enroute to this country, as the last
word received indicated hat they
would shortly be on heir way.
Prices High.
Conditions revealed in the letters
which have been received here show
that persons who are conducting a
business in Russia at this time are rea-
sonably prosperous, but those who
have no fproprietary connections must
live q very scant and spare existence.
Prices are exorbttant within the coun-
try. and exchange Is at such a low
rate hat trade with the outside world
is impossible, making it apparent, &C
cording to Mr.. Papermaster, that time
Is the only element which can correct
present conditions. Fhe people must
have time In which to perfect the in
dustry Of the country and to put their
business back on a sound foundation.
In Ukrainia, one-fourth OF afcord OF
wood sells for 100000 rubles. which is
equal to about one or n and one-half
cents of American money. The stamp
on a registered letter Is worth 100000
rubles also, and an ordinary postage
stamp costs $4,000 rubles.
Eat Dead Bodies.
It Is reported that in sections OF
Russia, ear to Siberia, the situation
is much more severe upon the poor,

ADVANCES STOP
END OF THE WEEK
Cotton Fails to Preserve
Tendency Which Was
Prevailing.

New Orleans, La.-Wide gains ere
made in the early sessions of last week
in the cotton market In the later
sessions too much realizing came
from the long side to allow the ad-
vancing tendency to be preserved
Weather conditions over the belt took
turn for the better The market
stood at gains over the close of the
preceding week on all sessions, rising
to advances of LOT to 122 points, at its
best, and still standing at net gains of
18 to q points at its lowest. On the
close the net results of the trading
Of the week were gains of 81 to IS
points. July trades as high as 19.45c
pound, a new high level for the bull
movement that recently got under
way, and closed at 19.01c In the spot
market middling gained rs points in
the net results, closing at 1886
a year ago.
Early gains were made on the heavy
rains in the belt and floods and over
flows in the west, which resulted in
much crop and property damage. Lat
er in the week Texas claimed a great
deal of replanting would have to be
done on top Of that already necessary.
In the later sessions the great i'm
provement in the spot demand and
much better accounts from mill cen
ters on both sides of the water were
the main supporting influences. The
large mill taking for the week, 208,00O
bales, against $4,000 this week last
year, went well with reports of more
business among the mills, and export
returns from England made a decided
ly favorable impression.

SHREVEPORT OPERATIONS
DELAYED BY BAD WEATHER

Shreveport, La.-Decline in both the
number of new producers and initial
production was recorded in the Shreve-
port territory during the week just
closed, but daily average production
showed an increase amounting to l.
974 barrels. There were thirty-one
competitions during the week, two be-
ing gassers, one a failure and twenty
eight producers with combined initial
yield of 6,626 barrels, compared with
the preceding weeks record Of fifty
competitions, two gassers, three fail
ures and forty-fiVe producers, with
combined initial yield of 14,205 bar
rels. The initial yield declined 1879
barrels and there was a decline Of
IL in number of producers.
Unfavorable weather prevailing
throughout the territory is given as
the cause of curtailment of some op-
erations. The weather conditions,
however, are improving, and with the
coming of sunshine and dry roads and
woods, the number of competitions is
expected to increase. Many wells are
now in the sand, with liners set wait
ing on standard rigs. If the price of
crude advances, as some are anticipat-
ing, operations will have another rea-
son for increasing.

Clyde Milan, who was made manager
Of the washington American League
team, late last year, owes his appoint
ment to very peculiar chain Of cir
cumstances.
George Mcbride was manager Of the
Washington team last year. He was
doing very good job of it. One day,
while batting grounders to the in1eld-
ers, he was struck over the eye by
a thrown ball from the outfeld.
Forced Out Of Game.
The injury forced Mcbride out Of
the game for two weeks. 1t was nee
essary that the club have a temporary
leader. Clyde Milan and Walter John
son are the two veterans of the team.
Walter having no desire to manage,
the job fell to Clyde.
Was Milan successful as a temporary
manager? He certainly was. Under
his direction the club won eleven
straight ball games and was promi-
nently mentioned as a pennant con-
tender. The day Mcbride returned to
the team the club lost.
The injury to Mcbride was happen
ing No. 1, the winning Of the eleven
games was happening No. 2. 1t was
No. 8, however, that convinced Presi-
dent Griffith that Milan was worthy Of
a chance as manager.

Detroit was playing at Washington.
1t had been customary for Heilman to
bat third in the lineup, Veach hitting
just back of him. On this day a
change was made in the batting order.
Heilman was placed fourth in the line
up, but neither he nor Veach was no
titled Of the change.
A Long Hit.
Heilman came up in the first inning
in the third position, and made one Of
the longest hits ever seen on the
Washington park, the ball almost
clearing the left field fence. 1t struck
high up in the extreme end Of the
bleaclers in left center. 1t was ter
rife wallop.
Milan had scanned the Detroit bat
ting order as he gave the umpire the
Washington lineup. AS the ball hit in
the bleachers Milan ran up to the
home plate. He conferred with the
umpire, showed that Heilman had bat
ted out Of order, which caused the of
fetal to declare Veach, the proper
batsman, out, erasing Heilman's home
run.
"That one incident proved to me
that Milan had his head up and was
managerial timber" is the way Presi-
dent Griffith puts it.

Not to Probe Gasoline Prices.

New Orleans, La.-Probability of a
state probe into the rapidly mounting
price of gasoline withered this week
when Attorney General Coco stated
that no evidence of a combine" or
other violation of the law in gasoline
price boosting had been submitted to
his office. He saw no cause for any
action on his part until evidence had
been presented, he said.
