GOODRICH SAYS RUSS , FAMINE CONDITIONS ARE UNDER CONTROL
CHURCHES 1
WINCHESTER, Ind., April 22. For
mer Governor James P. Goodrich re
turned here today from a four months' trip to Russia Just In time to attend the funeral of his aunt, Mrs. Mary J.
Semans, who died of apoplexy at the home of her son, Carl Semans at Indianapolis, Monday. Mr. Goodrich Is in good health and looks well after his trip through Russia where he went as the personal representative of the United States to investigate the famine conditions and to distribute food to the starving Russians. In speaking of that country he said, "The American Relief Administration now has the Russian famine uilder control in all of the accessable dis
tricts. Mortality among children has been reduced to normal and deaths from acute starvation amongst adults are rapidly ending. The change In appearance and the spirits of the people in the famine district shows an extraordinary change for the better. The American Relief Administration has provided at least 95 per cent of all the food that has gone into Russian relief of the famine. The total funds mobilized by Mr. Hoover comprises about $40,000,000 in addition to the $20,000,000 provided by congress. The ability to continue this control of the famine until next harvest is purely, a question of railway transportation. The degenerated administration and equipment of the railways gives no certainty from month to month as to the continued movement of supplies. Large congestion at junction points at the present moment threatens the continued movement from the ports. There are enough supplies enroute overseas, or stored In ports, to hold .c- control of the situation until harvest
X if they can be delivered Into the fam-
4 ine region. f Seed Probably Sufficient , ' "Although it is early to speak with absolute assurance there Is every evi
dence that the seed provision under the American Relief Administration will be sufficient to protect foodstuffs of the population in the famine regions efter the next harvest. The work of the American Relief staff in organization of famine relief in the presence
of totally disorganized communities and transportation has shown extraordinary ability, has required the utmost courage and devotion and was accomplished at great hazard to the health and life of the men engaged in it. s 4 The Americnn people may be justly proud of the fine, efficient, truly American organization. It has met the disaster of a drought which theratened the lives of at least 8,000.000 people. It
has overcome every obstacle and I doubt if the actual loss of life from starvation will exceed 500,000 if the railways will function.
"This number would have been less had not the railways been demoralized. ' One needs the patipnce of Job to travel on the Russian railways, especially in the winter. The Americans have the whole community over 11 provinces organized Into committees working with a devotion and with an efficiency in distribution that is astonishing to anyone who is not familiar with the work of this organization in other countries. Their background of experience in handling famine in other countries has contributed materially to the better success of the American effort in Russia. Russian Gratitude Great "The gratitude of the Russian people
toward America is unbounded. The letters or word ARA (initials of the American Relief Administration) which is the protective sign on the whole distribution machinery, from cars to warehouse and kitchens, has embraced as a word in the Russian lan
guage expressing the generous action of America. "No doubt poverty will continue in Russia, more particularly in the cities and larger towns, for a long time to come, but this great disaster of famine from drought will have been overcome after the npw harvest in August and except for the amelioration of poverty itself the work of the Americans will have been accomplished." Mr. Goodrich will remain at home for several days, but on Mav 17 he will sail from New York for the third 1me to engage in famine work in Rus-c-.,. pe will return about Aug. 1, when Mt-,. Goodrich, who is now in Paris, will accompany him.

Crowds on levee at Memphis where water rose to 42.6 foot level and seepage outside levee registered 32.7 . feet.
Cotton growers and residents along the Mississippi watched with anxiety the efforts of the flood waters of the Mississippi and Wolf rivers to wash out or overflow the levee at that point.
In addition to the lives aud homes $1,566,000 worth of cotton in a huge warehouse at Memphis was threatened by the waters. The levee, however, held although leakage did con-
siderable damage near the levee. The photo chows a stretch of the private levee of the Memphis Terminal Corporation's navy yard. T.j river lies beyond the levee.
FOREST FIRES CAUSE ...
BIG LOSS EACH YEAR WASHINGTON, April 22. Every
year forest fires in the United States
destroy or damage sufficient timber to build houses for the entire population
cf a city the size of Washington, D. C;
New Orleans, La,; Denver, Colo.,; or. San Francisco, Calif., according to a statement Just issued iy the Forest Service. United States Iepartment of Agriculture, through "Safeguarding America. Against Fire," the official bulletin of the National Board of Fire Underwriters. The area burned over each year, it is said, is equal to a strip 10 miles wide reaching from New York City to Denver. Colo. The publication directs attention fo the fact that fifteen years ago the bulk of public sentiment against forest fires'
was in the East. Today it is in the
West, where 61 per cent of the remaining timber supply of the country
is located. Over 81,000,000 acres of forest land that were formerly covered with timber are logged ofT or burnnl and completely denuded of tree growth. The solution of forestry problems, experts say, lies largely in fire prevention and reforestation.

customer a holding in a nearly, or en
tirely, worthless or unattainable value. The buyer becomes a bona fide owner
of a share in the enterprise on which tho security is based, but that basis has no tangible value. Therefore he is doing practicaly the same thing he would do if he paid money for a patch of blue sky. No one should dispute his ownership, but his property would be entirely valueless to him as a tangible asset. The blue sky salesman and promoter has become immortalized in
American life through the character of fiction known as Get- Rich- Quick Wallingford. That character represents the typical blue sky stock salesman. There are many in real life. A favorite scheme is' to organize and incorporate a development company.
The corporation will claim to have a land concession, for instance, in the

Gullible persons will believe the tale and, having visions of sudden, fabulous wealth, will invest hard-earned savings in the stock. Or a company may be incorporated to exploit a patent or a secret process which may not exist at all and if it does, has no commercial value commensurate with the amount of stock issued against it. Oil is a favorite field. Leases will be acquired and stock sold on the chance of striking oil. It is a common saying among in
