NAMED FOR SAINT JOSEPH
STALIN PERSECUTES CHURCH
Arrest, exile, escape, arrest, exile,
escapt—so runs the history of Rus-
sia's latest strong man, Stalin, who
at the age of fifty is to -day the head
of the Union of 'Soviet Republica, the
revamped, distressed Russian empire.
It is a curious reflection on the
old story of the beat laid plans of
mice send men that Stalin was intend-
ed for the church,, but becait'a the
1ercest persecutor of thea Christian re-
ligion in modern times. He was
born in tl-e Georgian township of
Gori to Vissarion Djugashvillie and
his wife fifty Christmases ago, He
was named reverently for St. Joseph
and his mother dreamed that some
day her boy would be a priest and
would officiate in the holy offices of
the church which gave her so much
comfort and support. He grew up to
be a dark -eyed, handsome 'boy, oh-
miously endowed with extraordinary
gifts. He won a scholarship which
gave him admittance to a religious
seminary, and his mother saw him off
to school in a pride which was the
culmination of her years of dream-
ing.
By seventeen Joseph Djugashvilli
was arrested for the first time for
revolutionary tactics. He' had been
agitating amongst the factory work-
ers of Georgia, among whom his par-
ents worked.. He was released. ev-
entually and a few years later, in
1902, he was again imprisoned. Two
years later he escaped and returned
with as much determination as ever
to his agitating, changing his name
frequently to escape detection as he
travelled from one part of Russia to
another. It was during this time
that he adopted the name Stalin,
which he was at last to adopt perm-
anently and officially. He managed
to keep out of the clutches of the po-
lice for four years, but by the end
of that time the czarist secret ser-
vice had him again. He was arrest-
ed and exiled to Vologda province for
three years. Again he escaped and
went to Baku, but again he was ar-
rested and sent this time to Solviche-
godsk for six years. Inside of a year
be had escaped and had returned to
St. Petersburg and no sooner there
than he was hard at work again stir-
ring up revolutionary emotions. A-
gain he was caught and sent back to
Vologda for three years He escap-
ed within three months and went
fearlessly back again to St. Peters-
burg.
Month by month his character bad
hardened. Inured to hardship of any
kind, he' had pledged himself with a
steel will to fostering the revolution
in Russia. Embittered, determined,
harsh, he was more confirmed than
ever in his hatred of the old regime,
Meantime, Lenin, who had become
the head of the Bolshevik movement,
depended more and more upon the
o steel will of this agitator, Stalin. The
two met first in 1905 at a gathering
of Bolsheviks in Finland. In the fol-
lowing year the Bolsheviks met in
Stockholm and in the following year
in England. Stalin vas at both meet-
ings and they were the only two pour
neys he has ever made outside the
boundaries of his own country. He
has never since emerged from Russia
though he has travelled endlessly up
and down and here and there in that
vast empire. He has travelled as a
manacled prisoner, as a fugitive or,
later still, as the man who by person-
al force made himself ruler of more
territory' and more people thany any
other autocrat in modern times.
WAS THE GERMAN KAISER
MORE FOOL THAN KNAVE?
The further we get from the war
the more curious are The new facets
that turn up under the searching light
of history. The latest to reveal it-
self concerns a man of whom so far
we have heard very little—Count Leo-
pold Berchtold. [He is the man who
stands revealedas the actual insti-
gator of the war, whose crime is ev-
en blacker than that of the Kaiser.
Count Berchtold was born in 1863,
and as a youth entered the Austrian
diplomatic service. He rose quickly
enough through the ranks of office
and by 1912 he was ambassador to St.
'Petersburg, one of the most import-
ant posts in the Austrian service,
since relations with the great Russian
empire were exceedingly important to
the dual monarchy and to Emperor
Francis Joseph. However, he was re-
called fr»m St. Petersburg and al-
enost against his will forced into the
position of Austrian foreign minister.
Berchtold was certainly not the
Mauler the jobb. He had neither the
same* nor the vision. During the
i
225
Balkan wars he was weak and inde-
cisive. His grudges against his
neighbors piled up, since he was not
strong enough to combat them. Then
when the assassination of Sarajevo
shook Europe in July of 1914 Berch-
told was windicitive enough to decide
on war with Serbia at any cost. He
was warned through the various dip-
lomatic services that he could not iso-
late the war. That if he crossed arms
with 'Serbia the whole of Europe
would be plunged into war. Berch-
told, with the folly of a madman, dis-
regarded everything he heard. He
decided that no matter what Serbia's
answer was to the famous ultimatum
he would go to war. He used faked
news of an attack by Serbians on
Austria to defraud his old emperor
into signing the declaration of war
and then afterwards removed the
clause which referred to the encoun-
ter. He also fooled the German em-
peror in order to take no chances on
holding the support of Germany. He
defied England, France and Russia,
who
defied,
all making efforts to pre-
serve the peace of Europe. He got
his way and involved the whole world
in war.
Berchtold' went on serving his coun-
try until he saw the effect of his own
handiwork, the collapse of the dual
monarchy, the dispersion of the royal
family and the end of the old regime.
Then he went into retirement. Since
then the world has heard nothing at
all about Count Berchtold. Now that
Austria has published her war docu-
ments, the minutes of council meet-
ings, the correspondence between dip-
lomats. with all sorts of marginal
notes by the emperor and his states-
men, Berchtold, it is said, is being
forced to write his memoirs. What
he will have to say in self-defence
may be interesting. No man wants
his name weighted down for all time
as the real instigator of the great
war in history.
Perhaps his memories will start an-
other war, a war of words about a
war of blood and steel.
HIS SUFFERING OF 15
YEARS YIELDED
"I've finished my fourth bottle of
Sargon and for the first time in fif-
teen years I'm absolutely free of ev-
ery trace of indigestion.
JAMES H. CAMPBELL
"I used to go to the table in fear
and trembling of the suffering I knew
was bound to follow my meals. I'd
have such attacks sometimes late at
night that I thought every breath
would 'be my last. No medicines
gave me anything but temporary re-
lief until I started Sargon and it
seemed like it was made for my par-
ticular case. It took right hold of
my troubles and ended them and
made me feel almost like a new man.
Sargon Pills did their part by regu-
lating me perfectly." — James H.
Campbell, London, Ontario.
Sargon may be obtained in Seaforth
from Charles A!berhart.
Bacon Exports Fall.
Figures recently made public by
the British Board of Trade show that
in 1929. Canada's bacon export to
Great Britain was but one -ninth of
the quantity sent in 1905 --twenty-
five years ago. In fact Canada was
lowest on the list of countries ship-
ning this commodity to Great Britain,
Denmark halving shipped nearly 26
times as much as this country. Neth.
erlands was next, while the United
States, although far down on the list,
shipped three times as much as Can-
ada did. This occurred in spite of an
enormous increase in the amount of
bacon consumed in • that country in
the past few yens.

NEWS AND INFORMATION FOR
THE BUSY FARMER
Dairying in North.
The increased interest in dairy
farthing in Ontario is nowhere more
in evidence than. in Northern Ontario.
In 1917 the New Liskeard creamery
was the only one operating north of
North Bay •and. had a total output of
butter of 40,000 pounds per year. Last
year five creameries in the district of
Temisicaming alone had an output of
600,000 pounds of butter and some
cheesle as well. The Cochrane district
creameries last year bad an output
estimated at between 200,000 and
300,000 'pounds.
Lamb Prices.
Sheep raisers are viewing with
some concern the recent decline in
lamb prices. Undoubtedly a contrib-
uting factor has been the heavy im-
ports of lamb and mutton from other
countries, chiefly New Zealand and
Australia, and particularly at a time
when our flame -grown product is com-
ing on the market. A practice of
stamping high quality Canadian lamb
similar to that followed in beef grad-
ing would go some distance in secur-
ing a suitable recognition for the
home-grown product.
Tobacco Seed.
Tobacco seed for the 1930 crop will
be cleaned and tested free of charge
by the Dominion Experimental 'Sta-
tion at Harrow. Tobacco seed as it
is shelled out usually contains a con-
siderable quantity of light and imma-
ture seed, chaff and other foreign
atter. Such seed should be sifted
t rough suitable screens to remove
t e chaff and put through a tobacco
seed cleaning machine to remove the
dust and the light seed. Well clean-
ed seed is also less likely to introduce
certain diseases in the seed bed.
Free Material.
The Ontario Agricultural Experi.
mental Union ia iprepared this spiting
to distribute into every township and
county of the province, material for
experiments with grains, potatoes,
roots, fodder crops and .,fertilizers•
The complete list of the material to
be distributed will cover 38 distinct
experiments and include practically
all the cultivated field crops grown
in Ontario. Only the hest seed of
outstanding varieties will be used in
this seed distribution. Any farmer
in Ontario is entitled to receive free
of charge, material for conducting
any one of these co-operative experi-
ments in field husbandry and will get
this in good time for vpring seeding
if he applies at an early date to tha
secretary of the Experimental Union.

Current Crop Report.
The crop report for the second week
in March indicates a brisk demand
for seed in Carleton ('aunty. Dundas
and Dufferin are both apprehensive
regarding the unusual weather condi-
tions. Egg prices in Durham are at
a very low level. Alfalfa and clover
in Halton appear to he favorable at
the present time while in iHlastings
the reverse is true. A good supply
of red clover seed obtains in Huron
and will replace alfalfa in many cas-
es. Plowing has already started in
Lambton and a great interest in the
better cleaning of seed grain is re-
ported. No scarcity of hay exists in
Lanark with quantities moving at
from $9 to $12 per ton. Fall wheat
and clover are good in Lincoln and
fruit trees have wintered well. Milk
production in Middlesex is adequate
to meet all demands. In Peel one
farmer reports 150 of 200 trees so
badly girdled by rabbits that bridge
grafting is useless to save them. Fall
wheat and clover look good in On-
tario, Peterboro and Prince Edward.
Conditions are not as good in South
Simeoe but feed is plentiful. In
Waterloo fall wheat is in a precarious
condition.
Some people's idea of law and or-
der is to lay down the law and give
the orders. --Ottawa Citizen.
