RUSSIAN COLONY IN KANSAS HAS NO USE FOR BANKS. Buy and Sell for Ready Money Only Honest, Industrious and Religious, They Are Celebrated aa Debt Payers. A large portion Hayes City, Kun. of the population of Ellis county Is made up of Russians who have no working knowledge of our banking system or disposition to learn anything about It, said a Hayes City banker. "They do their own banking. Their strong box consists of a tin can or an old boot and their safety deposit vault is a bole under the barn or in the cellar. When they sell something they demand the cash and hide it "It is a conservative estimate to aay that more than half of the actual cash of this county is hidden, he continued. "Our deposits coma chiefly from the Americans. Comparatively few of the Russians do any banking business.-- We have conducted a campaign among them for years, and some of the younger element are beginning to patronize ua. But the are still holding off and probably will continue to do so for the rest of their lives." Perhaps 70 per cent, of the people of Ellis county are Russians. More strictly speaking, they are German-RussianOriginally they went from Germany to Russia, and later came here. They are a sturdy, honest people, Industrious, very religious and Aa debt payers great money-saverthey are celebrated. They never hide behind the statute of limitation. If a Russian buys a horse or a farm he is just as sure to pay for it as he lives. Mortgages are only used as a protection in case of death. Ninety per cent, of the Russians own their own farms, and they work them to the very limit Wheat la the principal crop of this section and the Russians are the great wheat raisers of the bread belt No sooner do they reap one crop than they go to plowing for the next It is a common thing uce.

Syracuse Provides Pastor Cribs and a Maid. Toyi, Syracuse, N. Y. The only church United States was opened here for babies the other Sunday when the Centenary Methodist Episcopal church, reconstructed during the summer, held its first service. There was a maid In charge, blocks, hooka of rhyme and a variety of toys provided. Rev. E. L. Waldorf, the pastor, said: "Crying babies will raise voices without the usual effect at a service. The walls of the room will be sound proof. Lullabies will be sung and no one will be disturbed. Mothers may leave the children in a cosy crib or cuddled up on a couch with deep corners and occupying rocking chairs, just outside the double doors at the rear of the balcony. So long as the babies are quiet they may stay with their mothers."
