one of the women attendants at
our disposal. She purchased sup
plies for use at the Torgsin and
prepared our meals. At night, we
could not undress because of the
cold. We were obliged to sleep in
our overcoats.
We resumed our Journey and
came to the little town of Smile.
witch. Here we saw a church
from which the bell had been re-
moved, but which was still open
for worship.
It was a holiday, and from the
surrounding villages men, women
and children were coming in for
services. The chauffeur of our
car began to belabor the worship
pers. With heads bowed, the peas
ants went into the church while
the chauffeur shouted insults after
them.
Drops Dry Bread
7 noticed that the peasants
were fearful of me. Was I not a
Communist sent to close the
church? They began to sing
louder and louder, as if seeking
to drown their fears.
The same day, in the next little
town of Tchervin, I saw a similar
church. It looked like a large
building, but inside only a small
space was reserved for prayer.
the rest was a storehouse for
potatoes.
Here I witnessed a christening.
A peasant woman had brought a
little creature wrapped in ker-
chiefs. There was no priest, and
peasant was conducting the
ceremony. He picked up the in
FAINT. A lump of dry bread fell
out from inside his coat. Every"
body turned upon it with hungry
eyes.
Our automobile continued on it's
way. We came to a village after
passing through fields in which
potatoes were lying and rotting.
Just as in the Ukraine grain
and sugar beets had been left to
perish in the open, so in White
Russia potatoes were exposed to
the elements.
Hatred Among Towns
Soldiers had been called to
drive the peasants into the fields.
The population of the neighbor-
ing towns had been forced to dig
potatoes.
The government took the po-
tatoes away, and the population
got nothing for their toll. For
miles and miles along our way
rotten potatoes were to be seen
in the mud. They had been
dropped from the carts, and be-
ing State property, had not been
picked up for fear of punish
ment.
On our trip through White
Russia, which led us to Mohilev
I was struck in my conversations
with various people by the envy
and hatred existing among the
different communities.
Hunger generated hatred. There
was hatred among towns, hatred
between neighbors.
Could this be Socialism that
they were building in Soviet Rus
sia?
No! Socialism cannot be ere
ated by psychopathic emotions
by streams of hatred flowing
from man to man. The spirit Of
charity, of mutual aid, had gone
out of the land. In its place
reigned the bitterness of hunger

THERE'S a lot of money in
the milk business"
True, with qualifications.
What the milkman gets from the
consumer does not stay long
with the milkman.
He distributes income as well
as milk.
More than half the price the
consumer pays for fluid milk
goes to the farmer.
From the remainder the milk
man must pay fixed charges
and the expenses of doing
business before he can count
on any pay for his own sery-
ice.

and it's share is getting bigger
every year. For 1884, the tax
figure was $74,553.74.
Then there's the payroll, the
biggest single item except the
outlay for milk.
Your local milkman is a COM
posite of 847 men and women.
In 1884 the average number
of employees was 827 per day.
What the milkman buys in or
der to sell milk keeps other
businesses going, and other
citizens at work.
In his role of purchasing agent
your milkman last year paid
out approximately $6,ooo,-
10000.
More than $251 100000 for bot
ties.
Nearly 100000 bottle caps
were bought.
Over 100000 miles were
driven using approximately
$15,OOO.OO worth of tires and
100000 gallons of gasoline.
CTS tons of hay, feed, and

Crates, cartons, and stationery

Radio Rules frightened.

CLAMPING down on alleged violators
IN the one hand and issuing
laudatory citations on the other, the
Federal Communications Commits
sion's telegraph division has served
notice on radio operators, particularly
aboard ships, that they must hew to
the line so far as regulations are con-
cerned. Two steamship lines have
been cited already for hearings in
Washington for alleged infractions.
At the same time Chairman Aiming
S. Prall, who sits as an ex officio men,
ber of the F. c. C. telegraph division.
has sent out commendatory letters to
James w. Hodges. radio operator of
the S. S. Dixie. for his excellent serv-
ice when the ship struck a reef dur
ing the Florida hurricane. Prall also
sent congratulatory letter to Fred
E. BasSett, jr., a radio amateur of
Eustis, Fla, for setting up emergency
communications during the hurricane
while other lines of communication
were wrecked.
The Pacific Steamship Lines was
cited because it is alleged to have had
a broadcast receiver operated in the
ship radio room for entertainment on
the S. S. Emma Alexander, which sails
between Los Angeles and San Fran
cisco. This was said to divert the
operators attention from their regular
job, particularly from distress watches.
The Ocean Steamship Co. was SINH
larly cited because its S. S. City Of
Birmingham carried only one oper-
ator when two are required.

Three Papers Buy Stations

THE way was paved for three more
newspapers to acquire radio sta

tions Commission last week authorized
the assignment of WFBE, Cincinnati,
to Continental Radio Co.. and KGKO,
Wichita Falls, Tex, to Anon Carter,
in addition granting a regular license
renewal to WLBF, Kansas City. Kans.
WFBE now becomes the property of
the Scripps- Howard subsidiary. which
is also seeking new 100-watt stations
in Toledo and Columbus. 1t will be-
come affiliated with the Cincinnati
Post, and its call letters will be
changed to WCPO.
KGKO. besides being acquired by
Mr. Carter, who is publisher of the

authorized to move into Fort Worth.
Mr. Carter already owns WBAP. Fort
