Harvard Uses Legacy
Left 223 Years Ago

Cambridge, Mass.-Harvard univer
sity has just been enabled to establish
one or more annual scholarships in ac
cordance with the Will Of benefactor
who died more than 220 years ago.
The benefactor was Lieut.. Gov. VIII
liam Stoughton, who died in 1900 leav-
Ing to Harvard his 20 acres Of pasture
In Dorchester, near the present Cod
man square, the income to go toward
the support Of a scholar, preferably
from Dorchester.
The Stoughton pasture from time to
time has brought in rents which were
applied to scholarships, but the income
has been irregular and often entirely
lacking. Now, how ever, the recent sale
Of part of the land to the city Of Bos-
ton has increased the Stoughton fund
and made it possible for the corpora
ton to establish zone or more" regular
annual scholarships, In the award Of
which Dorchester men will receive
preference.
StOughtOn, member Of the Harvard
class Of 1850, was one OF the most prom
Inent men OF his time in the Massachu-
sets Bay colony. He served az chief
Justice in the notorious Salem witch
craft trials. He presented to Harvard
the original Stoughton hall, which,
"being an unsubstantial piece Of ma SON
ry," had to be taken down In 1880 and
WAS succeeded In 1905 by the present
hall.

Russia Adopts Plan
for Self Financing

MOScow.-"Stand on your own
legs" has become Russa's slogan for
1923, applicable not only to her deal
ings with foreign nations but with
reference to the individual depart
ments of her government, all of which
are now being urged to finance them
selves and not bother the central
authorities for money.
After the Hague, Genoa and
Lausanne conferences had demon
strated to the soviet government that
1t could not look for much foreign
assistance in building up its economic
affairs, higher officials reached
the conclusion that If Russia wished
reconstruction she would have to do 1t
herself.
Elaborate plans have been made for
increasing exports greatly during 1923
In order that the money secured may
be used to build up factories and
agricultural industries.
The total income from exports dur
ing the present year is expected to
reach 217,16O,0O0 gold -rubles. The
export plan Of the state plan COM
mission contemplates the expectation
during 1923 Of the following goods:
Grain, 100000 pools; flax, 250OO,-
600 pools; forage. 5,000,OOO pools;
hides, 10000,000; furs, 15.OOO,OOO
pieces; oil, 21,OOO,OOO pools, and
timber, 65,OOO,0OO standards.
Besides those principal exports the
commission estimates that Russia will
enter the world as a competitor in the
wine and spirit trade, the plan in
Guiding the sale in foreign markets
of 5000 barrels of spirit and 1000
barrels Of wine

lions for every interchange of service

Get POWER With
HIGHWAY LIGHTS
Electric Service for Farmers
Might Follow Road Lighting
Anywhere, as in New York.

Electric service for farms Is usually
unavailable without special efforts on
the part Of the farmers unless there is
an electric light and power company
with electric distribution lines running
within reach of the farm. Yet the ex-
per1ence met with in territory near
Buffalo, N. Y, suggests a method Of
automatically securing the extension
Of the necessary power lines 80 that
farmer who desire the advantages Of
electricity can be connected up.
This possibility is bound up with the
installation Of high intensity road
lighting units. The illumination of
many country highways in the towns
of Amherst and Tonawanda, outside
Of Buffalo, has caused distribution
lines to be run along roads which pre-
viously were without Them and the
benefit to the farming district has
farmers have had finely lighted road,
and they have been able to secure
electric service on their farms.
The installation Is not yet com.
pleted In these towns, but as far az It
has gone every farm house along the
roads illuminated has been wired for
electric lights a. well ~ outhouses.

Bore Tunnel in Banks
Stone Wall; Get $40

Denver.-Forty dollars in pennies
was what robbers obtained from the
First State bank Of Bennett, Colo.
after going to the trouble of tunnelins
through a stone wall Of the bank.
When officers of the bank entered
the establishment they found papers
scattered everywhere, tables over
turned and everything in the building
disturbed. Then, they discovered the
hole in the wall through which the
burglars had entered. The thieves
were unable to open the vault Of the
bank, so all they obtained was $40 in
pennies, which had been locked in a
cash drawer
Maybe the fact that Sunday was

with the haul of the burglars" Leon

RUSSIAN UNTITLED LAND
BEING RAPIDLY RECLAIMED
American Workers Putting 1900
Acres a Day Under CuItiva-
ton in Ukraine.

Twelve hundred Ukrainian acres
barren during the years of famine, are
being added each day to the vast gar
den plot into which the magic wand
OF American money and materials is
rapidly transforming a section of I'M
titled Russian plain.
The story Is told In cable dispatches
to the American Jewish joint distribu-
ton committee from its representa-
tive in the famine area, DR.. Joseph
Rosen.
In district where even the seed
for planting has disappeared in the
scratching Of bins for everything edi-
Bile, Nebraska, Iowa, Kansas and the
Dakotas have come to the rescue with
thousands Of bushels Of choice seed
corn. Relief workers in Russia are
transplanting and reproducing this
seed at 81 multiplication bases,
whence 1t is distributed as fast as the
land is prepared to receive 1t.
The varieties chosen for transplant
tation are the most hardy American
farmers have been able to develop-a
corn that will grow in the variable
climate Of southern Russia, where in
sufficient rainfall and actual drought
were the chief cause OF last years
famine.
Next on the scene Is the American
tractor, rs powerful ones, each of
them dragging two Russian five-bot-
tom plows, narrowing and seeding the
land in single operation, and each
covering Is acres a day. Using these
machines, augmented by 1,4O0 horses
and $4,000 worth Of horse drawn i'm
plements, the relief organization be-
neves 1t will have 100000 acres Of
hitherto barren land seeded to grain
before the spring planting season Is
over
Added to this activity is the inaugu-
rating Of American methods in dairy
farming and cheesemaking, which are
being developed on an extensive scale
in the famine district. Four hundred
cows were purchased by the Ameri-
cans and imported from other dis
tricts, to become the nucleus Of a sys-
tenn of cooperative diaries in which
the peasants rapidly are learning to !
participate.
Cheese factories followed, until now, |
Doctor Rosen reports, Fl of them, all !!
cooperative, are in operation.
