f OR SOVIETS RULE
R.forgG H. Emorson, Former
;$ T Railroad Official, Tells of Its
Failure in Siberia
LOOK OUT FOR VALENTINES
WITH A HIDDEN MEANING
It's Leap Year, You Know, and the Fair Sex Is Liable to Woo

CALLS SOCIALISM FAILURE
W
Qu!cl crumbling of llusslu's soviet
COTcrnniont is predicted by ficorgc IT.
KmerRon, formerly prncral manager of
the Urent Northern Tlailrond. who has
3uRt returned from Siberia, where he
had charge of the Trans-Siberian Kail
road. He says the soviet government
Will soon be replnred by a republican
government similar to that of the
T'nitrd States. Ho iJ eonvlneed that
!). per cent of the Russians in Siberia
arc eager for the overthiow of the
present soviet rule.
"The puisants in certain parts of
Siberia have organized co-operative so
ri?tles",,r he assorted. "When the first
division Of wealth occurred. everything
tvns fine, '..'hen some of the wealth
started to disappear. In six months, the
men who had hpent all of their money
wro ehunoriri" for another division.
Thf- peasants had accumulated u large
fitore or gold und silver and also had
several , ears' supply of grain in some
places. Right then and there they
started to lose their sympathy for the
socialistic ideas. The n fused to divide
and determined to hold on to what they
had Stored up
fAt one time 1 was called upon to
act as a mediator between the Soviets
of Siberia and the Czechs, who were
fighting then. Then it was that AVein
bough, who was head of all of the
Soviets of Siberia, told mo that the I'ol
shevist leaders were convinced that they
would have to abandon their socialist
government He told me that the lead
ers when thej organized the Russian
soviet thought it would spread to all
parts of the world in six months. They
wore- surprised when it received a colli
reception, lie said. He t'dd me that six
months of the soviet government had
convinced him that socialism was onlv
an impractical ideal. He said the Allies
were making a serious mistuke by fight
ing the soviet, for if they left it alone
it would die a natural death."
Look at the Valentines before you
leap.
That's advice for young men, middle-aged
men and nny kind of men,
because none of them are immune to
Cupid Racteria any more thiui they
are to cold in the head, lint they all
can take proper precautions, as Dr.
Furbush would snj .
The primary rule o heart health is
to nvoid Valentines, especially this
vear, when the seem to be particu
larly widespread and virulent. Ordi
narily Valentines ate uot apt to lead
to anything serious, but the kind preva
lent this February is apt to end in
complications, engagements and. in se
vere cases, ultimate matrimony.
You see, this is Leap Year. That's
what puts the catch in the Valentine
situation.
Men are supposed to he the ones to
buy and send the little tokens of affec
tion and what not. The have usually
fallen for the Hearts and Flowers game
in the past. It was expected of them.
Rut this year a big part of the card
board sentiments are designed for the
female shopper. They seem designed
) for a sort of follow-up mail order sys
tem on the susceptible young men. 'incy
are charmingly light in vein, but under
their flippancies runs a deep undercur
rent of strategy and dtermlnation.
Some of them arc openly leap-year
suggestions, urging swains to drop
around some time. Others show n lonely
maid on a park bench, complaining that
she desires company. Others carry the
subtly dangerous hiut "You find the
nest I'll do the rest."
One statistical rhyme commented on
tlie obvious lack on men to meet the
present demand and ended with the
utilitarian suggestion that almost any
i nic fellow would do.
Taken as a lot, the valentines this
year are enough to mnkc a man's blood
run cold, unless he is already looking
for steam-heated apartments nnd was
as good as gone anyway.
1 The only male come-back of the oc
casion seemed to be a card depicting an
I unusually tough old rooster, who con-
I fidentlv crowed forth the slogan of age
old wisdom :
"I'm too old a bird to be caught with
that stuff."
