Present famine conditions in Rus- sia were 1ald to the door of the Rus- sian government by Frank Connes, a member of the American-Russian Rellef Commission, at a hearing be- fore the Senate committee on agri- ture yesterday. “When it is claimed that the famine conditions are due to drought, it is not s0," said Mr. Connes, who accom- panied Capt. Paxton Hibben and other relief commissioners through the Russian famine district last sum- mer. “The government demanded and the peasants cheerfully gave 60 per cent, of all products of the farm. Then the government came by force and took the remaining 40 per cent. Peasants told me time and time again that had the goverpment not taken this 40 per cent many of these (famine) conditions need not, have happened.” $100,000,000 More Needed. Mr. Connes declared more Ameri- can relief was necessary, and esti- mated the additional sum necessary at $100,000,000. He characterizes the famine conditions as “terrific.” and s could not be described nor The witness also sup- tration had made “a in not sending Amer plies to Black sea ports. Mr. Connes said his commission had made rail- road transportation arrangements, and so cabled the American Relief Administration, but the latter, he said, “made the excuse” that trans- portation facilities from the Black sea were inadequate. As & result, Mr. Connes declared, hundreds of thousands of starving Russians were not given relief, Mr. Connes had a clash with Senator France, republican, Mary- land, who also visited Russla last vear. when the witness criticized the bolshevik government, and declared that not more than one person in ten now favored the com- > form of government. . Connes said Senator France and other Americans who had visited Russia stayed in hotels a brief time, 1 talked with a few people, and then returned home in the belief that they had & grasp of the situation. “That is just as reliable as the other statements of the witness,” Senator France interjected, heatedly, entering in a joint debate with Mr. Connes regarding popular sentiment toward the existing Russian gov- ernment. Mr. Connes recommended that a oongressional commission be sent to Russia to learn actual conditiona THREE BURNED TO DEATH. ELDORADO, Ark., March 21.—Three porsons were burned to death and three others were seriously Injured. when tho home of a family named Baggett, tnree miles south of here, was destroyed by fire.

Mrs. Baggett and two sons were dly_burned about the hands and 4 Two other children, a boy and a girl, escaped uninjured. The' entire family was suffering from measles. The fire is sald to have started when a gas pipe bursted, and spread so rapldly that escape of the three girls was shut off. CITIZENS TO MEET.

Dr. Edwards’ Olive Tablets—the RUSSIAN FAMINE | Mest substitute for calomel—are a mild but sure laxative, and their effect on the liver is almost instantaneous. These little olive-colored tablets are tha result of Dr. Edwards’ de- termination not to treat liver and bowel complaints with calomel. ‘The pleasant little tablets do the good that calomel does, but have no bad after effects. They don't injure the teeth like strapg liquids or calomel. They take hold of the trouble and quickly correct it. Why cure the liver at the expense of the teeth? Calomel sometimes plays havoc with the gums. So do strong liquids. It is best not to take calomel. Let Dr. Edwards’ Olive Tablets take its place.

Most of the farms within the elec- trified area are now tapping the new source of energy, and nearly all the power used in the daily labor on these farms is derived from the high- power lines which span whole sec- tions of the country. Power From Stations. Large power stations deliver most. of the electric energy used in the rural- communities, but in many places the farmers themselyes have installed turbines and built private power stations, harnessing for this purpose swift streams and small waterfalls on their own properties. Those enterprises, however, are gen- erally co-operative. A great deal of the most arduous farm labor is performed by electrical- ly-driven machinery at'a cost far be- low the cost of machines propelled pumped for cattle tricity, threshing machines n by electric current ber is sawed by motor power, and farm hands are no longer ordered to cut firewood by hand, because it eaper to have even that labor done | by electricity.

It is not uncommon to find on the larger estates electric ele- vators which lift entire wagon loads of hay or grain and dump thei where desired in the barns. One Swedish estate owner has in- stalled an_electrically-operated lrri- sation system, whereby a large fleld can be watered in times of drought. It is now only a matter of a short time till plows and harrows will be propelled by electric power. METALLURGY EXPERT DIES.

It was quite a few years ago that Benjamin Franklin made that pert remark to the effect that a penny saved was a penny earned. But it is still true today. Perhaps even more so now than then. - One way to save a penny—or a dollar—is to put itin a good investment—and when you put it in good furniture you are putting it in a good investment. Karpen furniture—such as we sell—is good furniture. It will give you more years of service, and look better, than any other kind—and what’s more, it won’t cost you one cent more than 1s asked for many pieces of inferior quality.
