Moscow Feb. 2G Ry-War has been declared by Russian moonshin. CTS on the government vodka mon. opoly, Since the government decld. ed 10 manufacture and sell forty per cent vodka 10 the public the state authorities have connscated tens of thousands Of illicit stills in inc villages. but the pci sntry seem more determined than ever 10 com. bat the governments legal" vodkn with their own homo brew. Russian homc-brew is called "samagon." IL cnn be made and sold at one half the government price for vodka.
 The samagon moonshiners are op- crailng throughout Russia, in the 'krainc alone more than 1,000, ,000 illicit stills have been connscatcd, in each village groups of citizens are designated by the local population to distill sufficient spirits for local needs.
 Their product, while not as pure as standard vodka, is considerably stronger and cheaper, and therefore appeals much moro 10 the peasants palate and purse. The peasants jazz" their vodka by adding tobacco. lime and other ingredients.
 Millions of tons of grain and rye are used annually by the peasants and professional moonshinors for trH fnaking of samagon. This is one of the reasons the peasants have been so reluctant to part with their wheat crops to the government. Fail ing to gather sufficient grain from the farmers for export abroad. the government in consequence has been forced 10 seek revenue in othr direc- lions. That Is one of the reasons why the Russian crown jewels are now being offered for sale.

BURBANK FUNERAL
 SERVICES TODAY
Simplicity to Mark Burial
 Thousands Visit Santa Rosa

Santa Rose, Calf, April fl R'-- Just as the last rays Of tho setting sun brighten for a moment the flowers in the gardens of santa Rosa. Luther Burbank will go to his final rest today, borne on the hands Of old and trusted friends 10 a quiet grave under u Lebanon cedar he planted many years ago,
 A strange mixture of aguosticism and religion tinctures the sentiment of those who will gather to mourn his passing. Friends from far and near thronged here when they heard Of his death early last Sunday morn Ing, but only his widow, his sister and a chosen few will be permitted to witness the final scene.
 All arc invited to public services among the living monuments to his memory in the trees and flowers of Doylo Park, but Burbank, unosten- tatIous in life, preferred that his burial be clothed with simplicity.
 There will be no long procession through the Burbank home past the casket. No requiem music is arranged for the commitment to the grave. At the public exercises 5000 school children will sing. Judge Ben B. Lindsey of Denver, lifelong friend Of Burbank is here to deliver the eulogy. The Rev. c. s. $. Dutton Of San Francisco, who married MT. and Mrs. Burbank 10 years ago, will represent the church which Burbank was a member but an admitted critic.
 Until his recent declaration that in religion he was an "infidel", his later years had seemed serene. And then after his d"ath. another cham Der of his heart was unlocked to reveal that q love affair, back in the days of his youth, which ended in disappointment, had turned his whole life into the work which be- came his vocation.
 Boy scouts of the Luther Burbank council of Santa Rosa will form a guard around the home today. Traffic will be diverted from the road which separates the Burbank home from the grave under the tree. Several Of Burbanks garden CTS and some of his closest friends will carry the CaSket from the room where he died down flower strewn path.

 Under q change in plans. Wilbur Hall, author and close friend of the family, will repeat the eulogy spoken by Robert c. Ingersoll at the bier of his brother when the hody is lowered Into the sylvan tomb. Judge Lindsey, who was ori- rinalIy chosen for this, will speak a few words.
