Princess Pours Out
Anti-Soviet Bunconbe
on Cornell u. Campus
(By a Student cOrrespondent.)

ITHACA, N. Y, Dec. &c. - Petty re-
formists, christian" society secreta-
ries, and ancient university women
graduates, forming what the Cornell
University newspaper calls "distin-

anti-Soviet Russia propaganda given
cut In speech by Princess" Catcu-
zene, American wife of member Of
the cars family, on the Cornell
campus. The princess" was invited
to talk by the American Association
of University Women.
"The best thing that the American
women who have lived in Russia UNI
der the old regime can do is to bear
witness to the virtue of the people
and the old government under which
they lived pleaded Catcuzene.
Never had such butchery been
eQualled in the history of mankind"
she chortled, "as that under the Boil
shevist rule" And to inspire more
fear in the hearts of the old women,
she added: "The Russian people are
existing under starvation, misery and
oppression under which no people
have ever before survived; 100000
children, covered with vermin, suffer
ing from famine, and all of them GRIM
mails"
Progressive students on the campus
are protesting against the college
newspaper for neglecting to enlighten
the students on the real character of
the princess talk.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 20. Farm
ers in the United States received
more than one billion dollars less
for their efforts in 1925 than they
did in 1925, according to a report
on value Of principal farm products
in 1926 issued by the department Of
agriculture. There was a decrease
in value Of S1,14s, Ooo, 900, the re-
port says.
Lower prices paid for the produce
were definitely blamed by the de-
partment for the decrease. Decreas-
es in production had no effect, the
report says.
The estimated value for SIS crops
in 1926 is $780,, $4,000, while the
value for the same crops in 1925
was $s,e49, s21 900.
The cotton crop showed a de-
crease in value of 1851, 000, 1923. Corn
showed a decrease of $3.50, 1881 900.
The potato and apple crop showed
proportionate decreases in value.

FARM RELIEF TO

ST. PAUL, Mimi, Dec. 26.-Farm
relief legislation will be the outstand-
ing legislative matter to be taken up
at the farmer-labor political confer

progressive farmers who will gather
here from all sections of the state of
Minnesota will make recommendations
of procedure to force congress and
President Coolidge to agree to farm
relief measures.
State Compensation Fund.
The campaign to have a state fund
for worker compensation created to
prevent gouging by regular insurance
companies will be given consideration
by the conference.
Another proposition to be advocated
by the farmer-labor party is legislation
to permit municipal plants establish
direct systems. This is a scheme for
placing municipal plants on the same
basis with large privately-owned
super-power stations.
Taxation.
Revision Of state tax laws on prop
erty and particularly on ore mining
royalties, will be taken up.
All elements in the progressive
movement OF Minnesota are urged to
be represented at the conference.

The words are brave, but what
has this Georgia congressman to
offer? Nothing at all, except to beg
favors from the profit beast that he
so vehemently denounces, a pro
posal in which Landlords fellow
congressman from Iowa, Dickinson,
of opposite capitalist political faith,
energetically joins.
But the farmers Of the South, in
common with those of the North
and West, will learn that it takes
something more than heated
speeches to overcome and destroy
the power Of their class enemies.
1t is not sufficient for the so-called
friends" of the farmers to realize
that there is an agricultural prob
lem.
The farmers themselves must
realize that there is this problem"
that can only be solved thru the
unity of the land with the cit3
workers on an anti-capitalist class
basis. Every announcement Of the
division Of huge stock dividends
among the parasite owners of in
dustry is a challenge alike to the
agricultural as well as the city
workers to organize and struggle
for their own interests.

Anti-Knock Qualities

Successfully producing certain desirable
aromatic and naphthene hydrocarbons in
the final new Texaco, the Holmes-Manley
Process produces an exceptional gasoline
with combustion characteristics in the fin

A Balanced Distillation

The distillation range, controlled by the

works best on lean mixture.

The Low Initial Boiling


With the low boiling point, due to regula-

lighter fractions of the crude oil in the gaso-
line runs, the new Texaco provides high
