By & year Bo The Red Bear Convalescent Five hundred thousand Russians will die from hunger "and disease caused by undernourishment, this year, be- Tore the 1923 crops are harvested, The Star gets this in a letter from William Garner, American newspaperman, now connected with the ‘American relief organization in Russia. od Five hundred thousand may seem like a big figure, and Se itis. But in the autumn of 1921 nearly 24,000,000 were =) Starving in the Russian famine districts, out of their total ition of 42,000,000, the year that followed, writes Garner, not more than ‘i ,000 Russians died from famine. This is the estimate Of Some of the leading American officials who have been e the hungry over there. American relief broke the backbone of the famine. The We saved probably run into the millions, A good job, done. One of the greatest handicaps to Russian recovery, says ) Garner, is that so many horses, cows, sheep and goats were | killed for food. =), Garner's report struck us as interesting enough to pass especially because it conveys the idea that a lot of Teports from Russia have been exaggerated. He quotes jean officials as estimating that the number of Rus- Bians actually starving this winter does not exceed 5,000,- G00. Our charity representatives have the situation in hand about as well as could be expected, both in the matter | Of food and medical supplies. The cholera and typhus epi- are getting under control. > Garner sums up the genera! Russian situation by saying wy that there has been a pronounced change for the better The people are as badly clothed as ever. But they seem | @iiimated by a more energetic spirit. | “The change for the better may be noticed in the shop | Windows, in the fact that the streets are kept cleaner. Rail- | Poad service is appreciably better. The street car, the elec- tric lighting and gas systems—in Moscow, at least—are } better than a year ago.” The Red Bear, gaunt and weak, but with renewed inter- est in life and a desire to do, is slowly emerging from his den. Recovery will be slow. But it’s started—according to Garner. oe Tt ts easy to think of something to say after it ts too late to say it Entirely too many people go to the movies without cough drops, __ OP King Tut, a Merry OP Soul |, Old King Tutankhamen, judging by the plunder taken from his tomb, enjoyed the top-notch of wealth, power, j 8 and luxury—as luxury was conceived in the crude ) life of more than 3,000 years ago. No doubt, he imagined “that people would forever speak of him with awa, We wonder what his reaction would be if he could come and find facetious newspaper headlines calling him Ging Tut.” It’s a super-illustration of Father Time’s iy. However, breezy Americans are giving King Tut highest honor—a nickname. In America the slate is lean each morning, We have respect only for the Ure.

As I see it, the opposition to this bill has but little room for an argu- mont aa this concerns a great many people, It is estimated that the butter substitutes are taking the place of from 10,500 to 15,000 cows in the state of Washington. If that is true {t would mean a market for about 60,000 to 75,000 tons of hay and the cultivation of 15,000 to 18, 000 shares of land to grow the hay, bestde the other feed they would require, When this {8 all consid ered it would furnish’ employment for several thousand people to raise tho feed and care for the cows, We will admit that the nut butter may taste very nico to some people, but there are others that would not eat It at all, and as for the food value there 1s no comparison ut all, From the best authority that wo can got and from testa that have been made with childron, there Is nothing in the substitute that taken the place of butter, Most of our cities are furnishing the school children with milk each day and if the substitutes are just as good why don't they give them that as t would be so much cheaper, Tho manufacturers of butter sub. stitutes do not pay any taxes in the state; neither do they get any material or labor from the state, So T can't seo why any falrininded citizen would oppose oa bill that would rid our state of this nulaunoe, If we could only keop that addi. tlonal number of cows {t would mean homes for several thousand people and thousands of dollars tn taxes for the stato that we are not wotting, JOHN N, BAXTER, Granger Would Know A short letter Wash.
