When l heard of Comrade Lenin's
death, l came to the Comintern,
where l was sure of meeting people
who would understand what ! was
feeling. / have just suffered be-
reavement in my own family and I
say to you now: Do not sit down
and weep! Our leader was man
of action, and the way to honor his
memory is not to collapse and give
way to grief, but to carry on his
work, to follow the road he has
pointed out for us, to spread his gos-
pei thruout the world, and to realize
his aspirations"
And that is the spirit of all the
people. They are stunned by the
news, hut they are not afraid Of the
future. Fer over a year his grip on
the wheel had gradually slackened,
and now that he will never again
lead the people, they mourn the loss
of beloved friend but they have
no misgivings of the future.
As soon as the news spread that
I4enin's body would arrive from
Cork at one o'clock the following
day, people thronged to the station.
They were prepared to wait turnout
the night in the bitter cold for the
sake of a glimpse of the bier. But
when it was announced that no one
but the elected delegations from fac
tories and institutions would be al
lowed to come near the station, the
waiting people dispersed.
On the morning of Jan. %, the
day after the news spread, and two
days after the calamity, all the ap-
proaches to the Dom Soyuzov were
cleared of traffic and pedestrians. Z
The streets were crowded with
people, and after the procession hac
passed, they poured into the square
in front of the Dom Soyuzov.
And night and day, ever since the
hall where the body lies has beer
open to the public, thousands OF
people have been thronging to look
for the last time on Lenin. SoliC

MY neighbors are cool-headed,

mana veritable Brunhilde in stat
ure and demeanor-an he is dig
nifed, bearded Russian professor at
the Academy, who endured and
worked and suffered in Turkestan
Trans Caucasia during all the dam
gerous years of the civil war.
When / brought to them the news
of Lenin's death, they both went
pale. Blunhilde gasped and reached
for support, and said in a quavering
voice: Il don't believe it. They have
said it too often. Only last week
the health bulletin was SO cheerful"
But her behavior showed that she
believed only too well.
And the dignified professor-he
who has always seemed so distant
and reserved-quivered turnout his
whole frame as he repeated over and
over again in a bewNdered manner:
"But / just dreamt about him last
night. It can't be true, it can't be
true" He was a pathetic figure. II
dreamt that someone tried to assas-
sinate him and / threw myself be-
tween him and the assassin"
And when l left the room | could
hear the professor mumbling away
to himself, "And l dreamt about him
last night, just last"
The official news came at 4 o'cltck
in the afternoon, but everyone on the
streets knew long before that. The
cooperative on Iversakaya, which had
been closed for the day in comment
Grafton of Bloody Sunday of 1905,
opened its doors in the middle of the
afternoon for the sale of black crepe
and ribbon only. Each of the show
windows contained Lenin's picture
draped in red and black.
The buildings of Moscow had been
decorated with red and black flags
in memory of the unsuccessful revo-
luton of 1905, and as we wandered
aimlessly thru the streets, from
square to square, seeking for kim
bred spirits with whom to share our
grief, the red flags without the black
borders were hauled in, to be hung

publications are gentlemanly and po-

critical attitude their thunder at the

sents this method Cheap, politically of

Here we have the spectacle Of an
official socialist paper praising an edi-

organ commends a magazine which
.'has no set program, either destruc-
tive or constructive" which believes
that the world is down with score
of painful diseases, all of them
chronic and incurable." Further, we
have the renegade socialist editor,
James Oneal, giving up his last claim
to being a scientific economist, by
supporting such magazine with q
contribution, characterizing, among
other mis-statements, the Communist
movement Of America as an "emo-
tional reaction"

"A two new publications which
first saw the light Of day this month,

H. l.. Mencken and G. J. Nathan,

renegade socialist, James Oneal, re-

consolation for men who believe
neither in the socialist fol-de-rol nor
the principal enemies Of the socialist
fol-de-rol; yet such men constitute
the most intelligent and valuable
body of citizens that the nation can

the middle ground between the

"The New Leader" says the first
editorial of this official socialist week
ly, as not liberal or radical or
progressive The New Leader is
socialist in its point of view. We
shall not make the mistake of glorify-
ing the working class" After thus
giving new definition of socialism,
the New Leader in this same issue
Jan. 19-tries to prove how similar
it is to the American Mercury by re-
viewing that magazine in these
words, "The American Mercury can-
not be classified as liberal as rad

The Day of Days By WILLIAM MORRIS

What's this? For joy our hearts stand still,
Each eve earth falleth down the dark,
AS tho its hope were Ger;
Yet turks the sun when day is done
Behind to-morrow's door.
Grey grows the dawn while men-folk sleep,
Unseen spreads on the light
Till the thrush sings to the colored things,
And earth forgets the night
No otherwise wends Hope:
Fen as a tale that's told
Are fair lives lost, and all the cost
OF wise and true and bold.
We've toiled and failed; we spake the word;
None hearkened; dumb we lie;
Our Hope is dead, the seed we spread
Fell DER the earth to die.
What's this? For Joy our hearts stand still,
And life is loved and dear,
The lost and found the Cause hath crowned,
The Day of Days is here.

Of acres of national forests bea-

and soil, wedding out timber Of
little value, making the silent

annual fur harvest. The trees cut
by beavers for food and building
materials are generally of little
value, mainly aspens, cottonwoods,
birches and pin cherries, or occa-
sionally such shrubby woods as
willows, alders, bush naples, hazels

be obtained by marketing it when

animals at the right age and sea
son and in the best condition for
quality of fur. On fox farms.
where the animals are kept in
lpens, there, is a possibility that the
furs are not of as good quality as
those from the wild animals, but
in the case of beaver farming such
difficulties do not exist.
Over much of the northern Dor
der of the United States and still
larger areas of Canada, cut-over
land which is generally unsuited
for agriculture and would not pay
taxes until again covered with
timber, would supply ideal food
for beavers and, if stocked with
these animals, could be made to
yield an income while the process
of demonstration is going on. Not
only could many limited areas Of
private land be thus reclaimed in
stead of as is often the case, be-
ing relinquished as not worth
their taxes, but state and federal
lands Of this type could also be
utilized for the double industry of
fur and forest production.

encouraging the determination of
animals by a wild scramble to- get
their skins, definite areas should

companies for raising beavers I'M

MARKET is VANISHING
Supply Being Greater Than
Demand, Potatoes Do Not


In perusing through the many
exchanges which reach our desk
every week from all over the state,
says the Tomahawk Leader, one
little item caught our eye which
means much to this particular
community. The item reads:
The potato crop of this section
will come pretty near supplying
the needs of this community
There has been no move made to
have carload shipped in from the
northern part of the state and
many families. are laying in their
supplies from farmers"
Here, then, is another reason
why northern Wisconsin farmers
III the big potato districts are find
ing that the price of their former
ly good cash crop has dwindled I'M
til it is not paying proposition
to raise them for market. Obviously
the potato market is glutted.
Maine, Michigan, Wisconsin, Mimi
esota, the Dakotas and now even
the far western states are shipping
into the larger markets until there
is an oversupply. Politicians have
argued, statisticians have figured,
but all in vain and after all it has
simmered down to the good old
law of supply and demand. The
supply now is greater than the de
mand.
Here then is problem that the
Lincoln county farmer and other
neighboring districts must solve.
He must look for other methods to
raise the so-called cash crop in the
fall. If he is wise he will give the
matter plenty of study and
thought and proceed with caution
but surely there is something that
is peculiarly adapted to our soil
which will return him as much or
more than potatoes ever did.
