of the Soviet government are chang

The Russian authorities, largely in
terested at this time in the buildins
up of future agricultural and indus
trial possibilities, anticipate thai
they will be able to export even more
foodstuffs than they are asking such
foreign organizations as the Ameri-
man relief administration to import
They explain the apparent inconsis-
tencies of this plan by the statement
that the outgoing foodstuffs are pri-
vate property, and that, to be con-
sidered in their new policy Of permit
ting private initiative, they cannot
confiscate this food for famine needs,

that food be sent into Prussia to pre-
vent thousands of deaths from starv-

fruitful regions, had a surplus above

consigned to the societies to be ex-

Russia
Government Does Not Help.
Asked why the government does
not help it's own people when there
is sufficient food in the country to
feed the entire populace, instead of
continuing to plead for American and
other foreign aid, one official said
that if the salable surplus of the
peasant were taken away from him
this year, he probably would not
raise any more grain than he abso
lutely needed for himself next year.
1.-THE government had to abandon
the policy OF requisitioning supplies
from the peasants two years ago, and
to encourage them to plant more
grain than they needed for their
own use," this official said. eff we
started again to requisition grain
from the peasants or cooperatives, we
not only would undo all of the work
of two years, but would be directly
refuting our new policy of free
trade
At a recent meeting of the state
plan commission, the official stalls
tician declared that Russia should
be able to export from last years
crop about 100O00,000 pools, or
roughly 100000 bushels of grain.
The time is now ripe. this expert |
said, for Russia to endeavor to re-
gain the European bread market. He |
doubted, however, the ability of the |
co-operatives to handle such a large |
quantity of grain. A small amount |
of Russian rye and wheat is already |
at the ports, but up to the present |
time little of it has actually been
placed aboard ship for export.
The scandinavian countries are ex-
pected to be the principal buyers of |
Russian grain this year.

100000 WORKERS
IN DETROIT ENGAGE
IN MAKING AUTOS

DETROIT, May S.-Half the indus
trial employees in Detroit in 1914 were
employed in the automobile or allied
industries. Today approximately two
thirds of the industrial employees here
are working either in automobile
plants or in factories closely allied to
the automotive industry.
officials of the Detroit Board OF
Commerce make the announcement to
show the rapid growth of the auto
mobile industry. At the same time it
is recalled that during the same Pc
riod the population of Detroit has
more than doubled.
In 1914 Detroit had total of 112,-
4SS industrial employees, and OF the
number about $4,000 worked in auto
mobile or accessory plants. Today
the city has approximately 100000 in
dustrial workers, and of these about
205,0O0 are employed either in auto
mobile plants or in establishments
where parts of motor cars or motors
are produced.
The number of automobiles made in
Michigan every year is about so per-
cent of the total output of the coun-
try, according to statisticians of the

HOW TO GROW PANSIES

Select the best, largest, most attrac
lively colored varieties. Have your
soil perfectly clean, free of weeds and
trash, and pulverized to depth of six
inches or more. On the level surface
spread evenly layer of pulverized
manure, barnyard scrapings preferred
to depth of at least one inch. Over
lay manure with one-half inch of the
best soil obtainable, thoroughly pull
verified. Roll or rake down and tramp
surface sure and smooth. Use hose
freely and soak down bed several
inches.
Sow seed in drills or broadcast
Cover if possible with best soil OF
sand. Sand is better. Use fine spray
OF water to moisten surface Allow
plenty of ventilation, keep beds moist
but not soaking wet, until plants come
up. Never allow beds to become dry
until plants are up.
The tiny pansy plants should be
transplanted when they have produced
a few of their true leaves. Set them
four inches apart. If pansy seed is
sown in the spring, the plants will
bloom in the summer They will be
small at first, but will grow larger as
the weather grows colder.

SKELETON OF HORSE
TRAIL TO MOONSH|NE
PLANT IN WOODLAND

AT the end OF trail marked by the
skeleton of horse, prohibition agents
yesterday discovered the skeleton of a
300-gallon still on the Johnson Farm
at Lake Shore, Anne Arundel county,
says the Baltimore Sun.
1t was a strange tip" that reached
enforcement headquarters and led the
agents to the stranger trail:
Follow the skeleton of a horse. 1t
will lead you to STILL"
Only this, with the location Of the
skeleton, was the word flashed to the
agents. Was someone trying to trick
them? Some Of the agents so be-
lieved.
Nevertheless. Agents r. ID. Ford, w.
p. Flinchum, r.. l.. Stevens and ]. M.
Barton set out for the densely wooded
swamp where they had been told they
would find the skeleton. Through
tangled underground and marshy
thickets they made their way. Then
they saw 1.-THE skull of horse fas-
tened in the forking branches of a
tree
A few yards behind the tree they
saw horses thigh bone. Beyond
this were several ribs. So on they
went along the trail of bones until
suddenly before their eyes stood re-
vealed in clearing the still that al.
most was completed.
The still had been made on the
grounds from new copper sheeting. 1t
was ready to be placed in position as
soon as the foundations were ready.
Several hundred bricks were piled
near by with which the foundation
was to be built
The agents also found two 500-gal-
Ion and one 300-gallon mash watts,
made from slaves; 700 pounds of
sugar and 200 pounds of meal. Meal,
sugar and still were seized, heaped to-
gether and match applied. Within
a short time all had been destroyed.

TUESDAY. MAY 8. 1923.
THE IDEA is SOUND

While the recent proposal OF
President Harding that this
country join the international
World Court created quite a fur
ore in Or. 0. =. ranks, the Chief
Executive, it is understood, pur-
poses standing back Of his sug-
gestion. That is good news. The
world court idea is a clear one,
easily discerned and estimated
right or wrong it is an idea and
no honest minds would challenge
the right of the President to set
forth and support sound idea
That is what he was elected
president to do.
If it is possible for such an idea
to split the Republican party
then the Republican party is in a
poor way, and it may be a good
thing to shed some of its narrow
minds. If the issue comes be-
fore the public for settlement, il
will be decided not on the per-
sonal character of President
Harding or of some senator but
on the broad ground of Amer
lean national policy. Invective
is unnecessary, suspicion of mo-
tives it out of place except where
the individual obviouslv deserts
facts and maneuvers himself to
catch the shifting spotlights.
To millions of Americans, the
Presidents idea is a sound one,
but, sound or not, the aspiration
it conveys is credit to the Presi-
dent. On that basis let the pub
lie consider the matter, with a de
termination that the, issue shall
be American policy and not per-
sonality.

or AND IDEALS

1t is of high importance In
view of the increasing demand
for oil that Americans be on the
alert to secure their share of that
commodity. Therefore the sat
isfaction given by the news that
Americans have. obtained from
the Angora Turkish government
concessions in the development
OF the Anatolian oil fields needs
no description.
But oil is not the only thing in
the Near East that is of interest
to Americans. While some of
our business men, with the sup
port of their government through
its insistence upon the open door,
were going after oil in that ter
ritory, the American State De
partment also was calling for &C.
ceptance by the Turkish govern
ment of certain ideals in the in
terests of humanity. Our OBJ
servers on the scene were sup
posed to do what they could
within their limitations to pre-
vent atrocities by the Turks
against the Armenians and other
defenseless peoples.
Having received the news OF
the attainment of our object in
oil, the State Department should
now issue a report of what - if
any-progress has been made by
our unofficial observers in the
Near East in the interest of hui
mainly.

ABOUT NOTHING

Doing nothing is equivalent to doing
wrong.
It takes Quick-witted man to know
when to say nothing.
The man who knows nothing insists
on letting It be known.
Some ambitious people rise from
nothing to something worse.
Sir James Barrie is said to have
made Saying nothing into fine art"
What man is depends largely upon
what he does when he has nothing
to do.
A philosopher said that If you want
to be happy you must be surprised at
nothing.
When man tries to get something
for nothing. he succeeds in acquiring
experience.
1t would not be so bad II people
who have nothing to say would let It
