or perhaps two to do the same work
with Russian machinery. Fruits were
plentiful, cane grew to be 40 ft. tall
but food stuffs were high. Tea was
one dollar per cup and coffee four
dollars per pound.
They were three months from the
time they left the Interior of Russia

through hundreds of anarchists nnd
were 28 days on the water. Mrs.

T-he chicken got loose in tho car and
