PEASANTS SAVE

FAMINE TERROR
Starving Russians Die
Rather Than Sacrifice
Horses For Own Food
Enough Animals Left
To Care For Crop In
Province of Samara.

Samara. Russia, June 1O-(By The
Associated Press).-There is ample
livestock in Samara province to work
the fields and harvest the crop of 1922
despite the fact that it suffered most
severely from the famine. The rugged,
shaggy, little horses, great, grooming
camels and slow moving oxen of the
famine regions have withstood the win
ter's hunger as well or even better
than the sturdy peasants.
In isolated spots totally lacking in
food the livestock as well as the people
has suffered tremendous mortality.
Thousands of draft animals have fallen
dead in the road while hauling precious
food over the SHOWS to the villages.
Others have been slaughtered for food
but by far the great proportion have
gone through the winter and now, with
green pasture only a month or so off,
are in fair shape for work.
NJ. Ryazonoff, commissar for agri-
culture of Samara province. says there
are still more than 100000 head of
workable livestock left or 80 per cent
of those available in 1921.
Peasants who have seen members of
their own families and %neighbors die
of hunger have saved their camels,
horses n oxen. Except IN villages
where starvation knew no bounds,
they have not killed their beasts. even
when they knew that a few pounds of
horse flesh might means a weeks life
to themselves.
Horses were more precious than hui
mans. Without livestock no food could
be brought from the railways and the
seed for next years crop would lie
useless in the boxcars far from the
fields.
Ragweed and other vegetation ordi-
narily considered of nc food value have
been used for forage. The animals
have been able to do only about half
the work that a well fed beast would
do. Most of them. particularly the
camels, present a woebegone appear

t~inuously as they lumber along the

from Peoria to Pekin. in the twinkilng
of an eye. And not such a big twinkle
at that.
A ship is blowing the Atlantic and
Jones on board suddenly decides he
must talk to his wife on Catalina is
land. He goes to the transmitting sta
ton on the ship, is hooked up. and
after a time establishes communication.
He goes away without being greatly
impressed. This is what has happened:
His voice went by radio to a wireless
receiving station at Deal. n. j., where
it was put on a through wire and sent
to the coast. There the wire stopped,
for there are no telephone cables from
California to Catalina. Between Cal
ifornia and the island the land dips
till it seems to have no bottom. Many
times cables have been stretched across
this chasm, but always they snap. AS
a result, when the message gets to
California, another radio gap has to be
bridged. In Catalina, it is again put
on the telephone and Mrs. Jones sit
ting in her room in the hotel converses
with her husband speeding across the
Atlantic. This is not a theory, not a
flight of the imagination-it can actu-
ally be done today.
A year ago there were a few thous-
and receiving sets in the United States;
today. as nearly as anybody can esti-
mate. there are 100000. Nothing in
the history of the world has ever grown
so fast. Moving pictures were fifteen
years in developing; the radio has
sprung up over night. 1t is a mush-
room in Big Business front yard. In
this fit of depression when other bus
inesses are going around with a coated
tongue and having dizzy spells, radio
is running all over the pasture kicking
up its heels. The conference in Wash
ington brought out that fifty million
dollars will be spent by the American
people during the coming year on radio.
The big impetus was given by a
church. The first broadcasting station
was established in Pittsburgh, where
hit and miss messages and %inconse-
quential speeches were sent out-any-
thing to fill up. The. Calvary church of
Pittsburgh decided to try the expert
ment of broadcasting its services. A
microphone was placed in front of the
pastor. another near the choir. and a
third in the auditorium. People heatd.

time the Heron Avenue Presbyterian
church in the same city found itself
without a pastor, and n of the mem
bers of the board of trustees had an
idea. Why not hitch up with the Cal
vary church,. An simplifying horn vas
put in and church services conducted
without a pastor. This was January
2. 1921. Today Billy Sunday could
preach % practically the whole United
States. That is how fast radio is o
ing; how big it is.
Preaching is only the beginning. To-
day. if need be, the president Of the
United States could reach for his tele-
phone and talk to the American people.
By the time this article sees print it
may be done. The signal corps of the
army is now prepared to do it-andI it
is possible that if anything important
arises the speech will be delivered. 1t
would not be attempted to send the
message from n station; instead it
would be relayed from a number.
The writer makes this prediction:
that inside of a year the. president of
the United States will have ten min
utes at a certain hour, one day a week,
when he will speak to the American
people in their homes-to people in fac
tories, in mines under the ground, to
lighthouse keepers and to people in
the lonely places of the United States.
Check it up and see if this doesn't
come true.

miles an hour, protesting over every
bump or snowdrift in the road.
Nevertheless, they drag loads of more
than a ton 10 to 20 miles a day. The
horses pull at least half of this load.
Even with the scarcity and dearness
of forage, the peasants whom the cor
respondent encountered were not SELL
ing their livestock cheaply. Before the
revolution, a good big work camel in
Samara province could be bought for
40 to 80 rubles. This represented $40
to $50. The 10000, 600 to $4,000 900
rubles now asked for camels in this
district represents only about half the
former amount when figured in gold,
but compared with prices asked for 9TH
err commodities, livestock is still held
at a high figure.
