Of hundreds of them has been lost.
Before the flight from omsk became
necessary the Red Cross maintainyd
a colony at Turgoyak, Siberia. Into
the colony wandered two ragged. fam

nine years Old-and that Is literally
all she could tell about herself. All
she could tell about her companion,
younger boy, was that he was her
"onliest brother" What those two
children had been through can hardly
be imagined. One group OF FIVE OF
these miserable little refugees ap-

Regina, Sask.-The motorcar. II

by winning its advent into the cat

the past. A few days ago three calves
we're stolen from herds near Bengough

the rustlers were arrested on this side
