Prosperity in Little Russia.
Little Russia in North Topeka is more
thinly populated this winter than it was
ever known to be before. Many Of the
families who went to the beet fields
| last spring are remaining there for the
winter for they know that they can
! live more cheaply there than here and
| that there Is no work here. Some OF
them are going back to Russia since
their friends there write that crops
! were fine In Russia this year.
| The fare from Russia to this country
! is usually higher than it is from here
! to Russia but the reverse ls true now.
I There are more Russians returning to
the old country than are coming here.
| A Russian farmer who lives north Of
town sent money to three families in
the old country for them to come here.
/ One family came. The others refused
| to come, stating that they were pros
pering there.
