HUGE TRACTOR

five Year PL AN
Amtorg Reports on
Work to Equip Farms

Orders for 6,750 tractors and
spare parts, the first large purchases
of tractors made in accordance with
the new Soviet five-year plan for
agricultural development, have just
been placed y the Amtorg Trading
Corporation and Selskosojus, Inc.
with the International harvester
Company and Deere and Company.
These orders involve a large sum
than any other similar purchases
yet made for shipment to the Soviet
Union. Partial credits up to three
years were extended by the tractor
manufacturing firms, representing a
substantial improvement over previ
Gus credit arrangements on similar
purchases.
"a part of the tractors, $500 OF
which were purchased from the In
ternational Harvester Company and
$3.50 from Deere and Company, will
be shipped next month for the cur
rent harvesting season and for winter
sowing, but the bulk will be used in
the 1880 spring sowing campaign.
These shipments will make a sub
stantial addition to the 10000 trac-
tors now employed in the Soviet
Union, over three-quarters of which
are of American manufacture"
stated Saul G. Bron, Chairman of
the Amtorg Trading Corporation.
"In order to ensure the most eff
cient operation of tractors number
of Soviet technicians will come to
this county to study with the Inter
national Harvester Company. In
addition, the company will send en-
gineers to the Soviet Union to assist
in the establishment of tractor
repair shops.
"With the completion of the Stall
ingrad tractor factory in the Lower
Volga region and the expansion Of
the Leningrad and Kharkov factor
les, Soviet tractor production will
exceed $4,000 units per year. A de-
cision has just been adopted by the
Soviet authorities to construct an
other tractor plant, with an annual
production capacity of 10000
machines, at Cheliabinsk in the
Urals. In spite of this construction
activity, however, the five-year plan
provides for increased imports of
tractors to take care of the needs OF
Soviet state and collective farms,
which are expected to have 47,000,-
900 acres under cultivation by 1882"

CLUB HAITIANS
UNCONSCIOUS IN

Two Sentenced to Year
in Jail

PORT AU PRINCE, Haiti (Ry
Mail The United States marine
corps and the puppet of Wall St..
Louis Borno, president of Haiti, car
ried their bloody terror reign right
into the court in which Jacques
Roumain, a 21-year-old editor of a
newspaper which is demanding in
for Haiti, and his com
panion, Georges Petit, were on trial
for Unreasonable activities"
Spies of the Wall Street forces,
whom Roumain was denouncing at
the trial, jumped on Roumain and
dubbed him and several sympa-
thizers into Inconsistencies.
On the day of the trial the court
house and surrounding neighbor-
hood gave the appearance of an
armed military camp. The place
was surrounded by military forces
under the command of U. S. marine
officers and troops guarded all
nearby streets.
In the court itself U. S. marine
we've standing armed with revolvers
and filled cartridge belts. Among
those in charge were Major Murray
chief of police; Captain Shafter, as
sistant chief, and many marine Of
ficers.
At each window Of the court room
were two Haitian troops and imme-
diately behind the judge, an Amer
lean army officer, named Bolton,
and a Frenchman were stationed.
The latter was Bonte, notorious spy
for the Wall Street Borno terror.
In order that too many sympa-
thizers with Petit and Roumain
might not be present, officers in
charge had packed the court room
with government employees and
spies. No one was allowed to re-
main standing and this automatic
oily excluded the friends of the ac-
cused.
This was done in violation even
of the Haitian puppet governments
constitution, which calls for an open
trinl in newspaper trials.
When Roumain referred to Bonte
as o traitor to the Haitian people,
Bolton, the American lieutenant,
jumped on him. Bonte then dubbed
Koumain into insensibility, while
the court officers looked on. The
court was spattered with blood lost
by Roumain and his sympathizers
Both Roumain and Petit were
sentenced to one year each in pris On
and each fined $1,000, together with
the costs of the trial.

MINERS WIFE ASKS
SHARE IN MILLIONS
Claims She and Brother Are
Heirs to Estate.

Louisa, Ky.-An invalid coal miners
wife, Mrs. George Firth, and her
brother, Homer Lester, both Of Pond
Creek, in the mountains near here,
have instituted legal proceedings to
gain their share Of an estate valued
at $20O,000,O00, left by their great
great-grandfather George Boothe, In
England. They have been advised
that the estate will be divided soon.
The woman and her brother say
they are direct descendants of Boothe
who left Sandwich, Kent, and came to
America, settling at Gloucester, Va,
about 1850. He had large estate and
added to 1t in America, depositing the
funds in England, where value has
grown through the years.
British authorities, Mrs. Firth says,
several years ago advertised for
claimants to the estate of the ven
cradle man, but Mrs. Firth said legal
papers held by herself and her broth
er were lost, delaying the filing OF
their claim until recently.
The woman and her brother, Ase
81. Boothe, of Christiansburg, Va,
have retained counsel in Washington
and New York to represent them, she
said. Mrs. Firth said her great-great-
grandparent left eight children at
his death in 1873 and that there are
believed to be forty or fifty heirs to
a part of the estate. The wealthy
man was buried in Floyd county, Vir
ginia.
The Pond Creek woman and her
brother believe they will inherit be-
tween 100000 and $12,OOO,OO0 each

Good apple butter is often made
from tart apples without the use Of
cider. Enough water is added to the
sliced apples to make a thin apple
sauce, which is then cooked very slow

hours. A pound to the gallon Of
brown rather than white sugar is add
ed when the cooking is about two
thirds done. The amount Of spice and
vanilla to be used is determined by
taste. Stir often.
Several variations of flavor are pos
sible by using other fruit juices. For
instance, pint Of grape Juice may be
added to each gallon Of peeled and
sliced apples. cook into sauce and
strained. Add also one cupful Of
brown sugar and one-quarter teaspoon
full of salt. Cook slowly and stir
