RUSSIA DISCOVERS
VAST NOMAD BAND
Population of World’s Largest
Nation Stretches to all
Climes.
A year ago Russia announced
that the Union had 146,304,931
inhabitants, according to a new
census. But recently census en-
umerators, browned by the sun-
swept sands of Kara Kum Desert,
in the Transcapian region, upset
these figures when they reported
250,000 nomad Soviet subjects
which had not been counted.
“Although the Union of Socia-
list Soviet Republics is three
tjmes the area of the United
States it has but 26,000,000 more
inhabitants,” says a bulletin from
the National Geographic Society.
“Russia owns one-seventh of
the land area of the world has
become a stock phrase among the
Soviet orators. It is the world’s
largest continuous country and is
second only to the British Empire
among the .world’s landholders.
[Unlike the British Empire, how-
ever, its possesions are all with-
in two continents—Europe and
Asia. A trip across the Union
from its western to its eastern
border would nearly equal a
round trip from New York to San
Francisco.
“From the borders of Poland
and Rumania on the west the
Union stretches across half of
Europe and northern Asia to the
easternmost point of Kamchatka,
which extends into the Pacific
Ocean. Its bleak islands of the
north are nearer the North Pole
than Spitzbergen and its southern
frontiers are on the parallel of
Norfolk and San Francisco.
o tour the Union a traveler
reeds a year-around wardrobe,”
continues the bulletin. “The
government operates a radio sta-
tion 650 miles north of the Arc-
tic Circle, where he Eskimos hud-
dle themselves in numerous lay-
ers of furs. Along the northern
part of Russia and Siberia the
traveler sees the Samoyed, snug-
ly wrapped, emerge from his hut
or dugout, straddle the reindeer,
which is his only transportation,
and trot across a land of perpetu-
al snow. The whole range of
temperate climates is encounter-
ed in the middle region, while in
the extreme south, where other
Soviet subjects sit c^oas-legged
cn camels, straw hats and Sum-
mer linens are even uncomfort-
able.
“Politically the Union is divid-
ed to six constituents republics.
They in turn comprise more than
SO autonomous units, in many of
which the inhabitants widely
differ in race, languages, cus-
toms and culture.
“The Russian Socialist Federa-
ted Soviet Republic, the largest
of the republics, includes most of
European Russia and Siberia. It
is twice the size of Canada, with
a population nearly equal to that
of the whole French Republic,
which counts i)ts possessions in
both hemisphers. The Turkoman
Soviet Socialist Republic and the
Uzbek Soviet Socialist Republic,
lying between the Caspian Sea
and the back door of China, are
about six times as large as New
York State, but with a popula-
tion about equal to that of New
York City.
“The Transcaucasian Socialist
Federal Soviet Republic, which
includes Georgia, Azerbaijan and
Armenia, also has a population
nearly equal to New York City,
and its area is slightly less than
twice that o f the State. The
Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Repub-
lic, occupying the southwestern
corner of Russia, is slightly
smaller than California in area,
with a population less Qian that
of San Francisco. The White
Russia Soviet Socialist Republic,
Which is the *Rhode Island' of
the constituent r*\pu|jjjCg( ja (lbout
40 times lar*^er than the New
England F'^ates, with twice the
popula»'on 0f providence.
i he expansion of Russia be-
gan more than a thousand years
ago. First the country was divi-
ded into numerous independent
principalities and governed by
princes. In the fifteenth century,
Russian gridiron and earned the
title “Gatherer of Russian
Earth.” Peter the Great, Cath-
erine the Great, Alexander I and
Nicholas I, however, should share
the honors for extending the do-
main.
“The Union is riot quite as
large as it was prior to 1917 un-
der the tsars, for Esthonia, Lat-
via, Poland and Finland have
been granted their freedom, and
Bessarabia, disputed territory be-
tween Rumania and the Ukraine
now occupied by the Rumanians.
These areas comprise 260,493
square miles, with abou.t 25,000,-
000 inhabitants.”
when the tsars took the reins of
government, a great empire be-
gan to spread over the Eastern
Hemisphere. Ivan the III was
the famous ground gainer on the
the secrets and have just that
much of an ‘edge’ upon their
neighbors.’’
Some of us are like the fellow
who was six foot six and could
not get rest in an ordinary bed so
he had one made to suit his
length. My how he had anticipat-
ed the real rest he would get that
first night in the new bed. But
alasbe forgot the sheets and cov-
ers were regular size.
There is one big advantage in
the land of golden streets as far
as we know, there will be no tax-
es to pay. i

NEW WAY OF HITCHING
HORSES WILL BE SHOWN
It is said that in no state in
the Union is the horse staging a
stronger “comeback” than in
Texas. Hence it is proper that
the Horse Association of Ameri-
ca, which has begun a national
campaign to educate the farmers
of America in the proper and
most profitable methods of handl-
ing horses, should have been in-
vited to offer its first educational
demonstration in the Southwest
at the State Fair of Texas Dallas,
October 6 to 21.
One of the most interesting
features will be daily demonstra-
tions of the proper methods of
hitching, for farm work. This,
it is said, is already proving to
be an important factor of benefit
tc the horse industry.
“I know that it would benefit
every farmer in Texas to see
these fre,e demonstrations," says
Harry A. Olmsted, president of
the State Fair. “They will teach
our people how to hitch and drive
their horses with the ‘tying-in’
and ‘bucking-in’ system, which
are the real secret in handling
large teams, enabling one man to
do as much work in a day as sev-
eral can do under the old-fash-
ioned system which now prevails.
“The demonstrations at the
State Fair of Texas this year will
show Texas farmers 4, 5, 6, 8, 10
and 12 horse team hitched and
driven on plows, harrows, discs,
cultivators, planters, drills and
combinations of these implements,
the hitches being made to enable
the horses to do more work with
less effort and with fewer men
to handle larger teams.
“It is claimed that the farmer
can add $200 a year to his profits [
by working his horses and mules ; [
to the largest possible teams
adapted to his farm. If that is ‘
true, then it would pay every
tarmeS in Texas to come to the
State Fair in October to attend
these daily hitching demonstra-
tions alone. Of course we do not
expect every fanner to do this,
but those who do come will learn*

LOST
Time from Work
Mr. Albert Garland, of Somer-
set, Ky., recently said;
"I used to work in the mines,
but lost quits a bit of time on
account of sick spells I had. I
would get to having a bad taste
in my mouth, and a very dull,,
tired feeling and ache.
“My mother told me to/try
Black-Draught, which 1 did,;and
after a few doses I felt "Touch
better. Now I take it as soou as
I feel the least bad, and I don’t
get down. I certainly can say
that it has done more for me
than any other medicine I have
ever taken.
"I never get without Black
Draught. If I go on a visit, ll
taka a package along in my suit-
case. My health is better now
than it has been in years.”
