JAIL SPECTATORS,
IS RUSSIAN DECREE
New Middle Clan Reported
Profiting at Expense of
Farmers.
BY WILLIAM II. sToNEMAN,.

! Special Correspondent OF The Star.
MOSCOW, August 25.-Rapid growth
Of a new class Of middlemen in the
Russian farm regions, following the
decree of May 20, which allowed peas
ants to sell their surplus produce on
the open market, has led the Soviet
government to take rigid measures for
its suppression.
Moscow newspapers have published
an order from the council Of peoples
commissars instructing the gay-pay-oo
(political police and local authorities
to arrest all those guilty Of speculat-
ing and to dispatch them to concen-
tration farms for periods Of and 10
years.
Profits Are Curtailed.
Those particularly concerned In ahe
new order are individuals, who since
the May decree have purchased sur
plus produce from peasants and later
sold 1t at exorbitant prices on the
open market.
A result Of their activities has been
that peasants whom the decree was ex-
pected to assist have gotten far less
profits from their free trading rights
than they otherwise might have OBJ
tanned.
Grain Collection Difficult.
Reports from the Ukraine indicate
that the collection of grain from the
current harvest is still meeting with
numerous difficulties. Antique methods
of threshing, which are estimated to
to have cost the Soviet several million
tons Of grain last year, are still pre-
venting the reaching of the quotas Of
rnanv farrnS The government has
grain regions to instruct the peasants
in modern methods.
One hundred thousand peasan shock
workers participated in special cam
paign for maximum grain collections
in the Ukraine between. August and
IT, with satisfactory results.

''BenefactOr.''
Special Dispatch to The Star.

SEAT PLEASANT, Md, August 25.-
One of the "meanest men" in the coun-
try yesterday visited Seat Pleasant and
defrauded an unemployed man Of So,
which he had just borrowed.
The unemployed man, who resides
near the District line, known only as
Frank, was approached yesterday morn
ing by a stranger who inquired if he
was looking for work. Frank said he
was, and the stranger told him to get
$3.50 and come with him and he would
see that he would receive employment.
Frank borrowed So and gave it to the
man after he had accompanied him to
Ninth street and Mount Vernon place,
Washington. The man told Frank to
wait outside while he went in to make
the necessary arrangements and to get
some change.
Frank waited for several hours before
he was accosted by the superintendent
of the building, who informed him he
had neither seen the man nor heard
anything of him. Frank is still unem-
ployed and Is out So, but he is wiser.

Proves It's Not Necessary To
Have Country Estate To
Entertain Guests

New York, May AL fresco

It impossible to capture In the mos,
sumptuous meal served inside.
To become known as an expert II,
outdoor hospitality is to be the most
popular summer hostess In town and
to have your friends clamoring fol
an invitation to dine.
It is not necessary to have coun-
try estate, a corps Of servants, mint
of money to give your guests the
treat of eating in the open air.
Frances Adams. New York de-
signer, has proved that miracles can
be done with six-by-seven and a
half foot city back porch, about $50
cash and plenty of artistic ingenuity
in color schemes and menus.
From Stoop to Porch
Last year Miss Adams had a dinky
little three-foot stoop at the back
door of her apartment. which is the
first floor of lovely old brick house.
From this stoop steps ran down to
the yard. which is a small bit of green
grass thanked by hedge, elephant ears
and flower beds. With $40 worth OF
lumber and one days work OF a car
penter, the stoop grew to be a little
back porch, surrounded by railing.
Miss Adams painted 1t all real
outdoor green. laid green and gray
checked linoleum on the floor. all
bound with metal for neatness' sake
and placed window boxes thanked with
lattice work along the wall connect
ing with the next yard so that morn
ing glories would eventually trail up
and lend color to the scene and pri-
vacy to the porch.
Next, she bought green topped
garden table, with big striped para
sol stuck down through the center
of 1t, since tall buildings with many
windows surround her place. For
this table she had larger top made
in two half circles which fasten to.
gether around the umbrella handle
Two or three can eat out on the
porch on the little table. Six car
enjoy their evening meal in comfort
on the big top.
For seating, she reprinted an In.
expensive green bench and made q
gay removable cover of one yard o.
quilted American print. in brigh
red. yellow and green, bound with
green. with ends of green tape lef
for tying onto the bench. Also sh'
painted two kegs for extra seats ant
two iron garden chairs.

Other Mild Winters

our attention to the following clip

at the year 1878. It. says, "Decem-
Der, 1915, and January, 1916, were
very warm; indeed, so mild that
fires were seldom lighted in our
rooms. February was also mild as

graves. Many special cases were
cared for; in one case a veterans
family from Adean, stranded IN
McConnelsville, was given much
needed help. The twelve war vet.
Grams at Rocky Glen sanatorium
this Christmas were thoughtfully
remembered. They received cigar
cites, cake and candy. In fact, the
local hospital chairman visited the
boys throughout the year at Rocky
Glen in an effort to cheer them.
Proceeds from the local poppy
sale last May amounted to over
$10O. The local unit bought 1900
poppise to sell. These poppies are
made by veterans in hospitals. the
war-riddled men receiving the sum
of 1c for each poppy made. Though
this amount seems small, 1t makes
the veterans happy because they
feel they are not only helping
themselves through the funds Sc
cured by the sale, but with these
pennies earned, they are also able
to purchase little luxuries not fur
nished by the hospitals.
Much more could be said regard
ing the work of the auxiliary each
year, and especially the year 1881,

MRS. w. f.. SEALOCK WRITES
ABOUT THEIR NEW HOME

In renewing her subscription for
the Democrat, Mrs. Sealock, wife OF
DR.. w E. Sealock, of Omaha, Neb..
president of the new Omaha Mu-
nicipal University, writes in part as
follows:
Thelma and | have moved to
Omaha SO recently that it seems too
soon to say just how we shall like
living here. However, since we al
ways like the place we live in, we
do not expect that Omaha will
prove an exception to our rule. We
have the most charming place to
live; and though it seems strenuous
getting off-or on-a high hill,
when everywhere around is covered
with foot of snow. The Omaha Mu-
nicipal University is five miles from
our home, and it has been necessary
lock family to do their share in
breaking up snow drifts, where or
dinarily there is good paved
street.
Mr.. Sealock has been in Omaha.
of course, since early September,
coming to Lincoln at week ends.
| hear much praise of his work
with the new university. Naturally
| am expecting he will do great
things with, and for it; he quite
rightfully stands high in his pro-
fession; | have never known him
not to succeed in his lines of edu-
cational work.
Omaha is what | would call a hilly
city. Having lived in Lincoln, which
is practically level, for several
years, we notice the difference, and

fore the first big snow of the sea.
son, we notice it the more. We
bought home on the highest hill
within the city corporation, and
have a marvellous view in all direc-
tions. Four or five miles from here
across valley trayersed by the
Missouri river, we can see a long
range of bluffs in another direc-
tion lies the city; and in what we
might say is our background are
hundreds of trees 1t is more like
our home country than any Other
place we have ever lived.

Legion Auxiliary Rounds Out An
other Year of Helpful Service

other Year OF HelpIu service
The Ladies' Auxiliary of the
American Legion, Malconta Post,
No. "a, has just completed another
year of usefulness to our communi-
| ty and to the state and national
auxiliary forces The program OF
activities followed by the 1000
other units in the United States,
representing a membership of over
100000 finds cooperation in our
local group. Considering the fact
that other groups have suffered
membership losses during this try
ing time, it is gratifying to be able
to state that during the past year
$50 new units have been chartered
in our country, representing an in
crease in membership of over 42,-
900. Our local unit has secured a
number Of new members during
1881, and antic pates an increase
right along. The eligible women
throughout the United States are
recognizing that the Legion Aux
iliary offers them an opportunity
to serve America which can be
found nowhere else.
Let me give you some idea of
what the auxiliary accomplishes in
general throughout the country,
and especially information as to the
workdone by our own local unit.
Each member pays fee of $3.50,
part of which is used locally;
share goes to Ohio hospitals to pro-
vide some cheer to disabled vet
Grams. the small balance aids the
national organization in its pro-
gram for beneficial legislation for
soldiers. The bulk of the money
needed for the furtherance OF the
auxiliary program must be secured
by real work and effort on the part
of each unit, be it large or small.
Money must be earned to help
the disabled veterans of the World
war, their dependent families. and
the widows and children of the men
who have passed away. We are
prone to think that the war is long
since past However, thousands OF
veterans have not forgotten; they
are fighting yet for their lives in
our government hospitals, which for
most of them is a losing fight even
tually. It is hard to believe, yet
statistics say that on an average,
IT veterans die each day in the
government hospitals The local
unit seeks to add little comforts to
the lives of especially the Ohio
boys at the hospitals in Chillicothe
and Dayton. Last year they earn
ed money by giving suppers for To-
cal organizations, etc. They were
able to supply war orphans III
Xenia, o., with toys, Easter bas-
kets, fruit and other goodies. Lit
tie luXuries found their way from
our unit to the boys in the Ohio
hospitals. Cookies were baked and
sent to the C. M. T. G. camp at Lud-
low, Ky. Gold-star mothers were
remembered on Mothers day.
Wreaths for Memorial day were
made and placed on the soldiers
