RUS SEA IN 7c21H

allowed on the bridge until an officer and few men had come down to meet us on the Russian side. Only lit tie Nina, Vorovskys daughter, about 10 years old, chattering Swedish with the Films, got leave from them, and Shyly, step by step, went down the other side of the bridge and struck up acquaintances with the soldier of the Red army, who stood there. gun in hand, and obligingly bent to show her the sign, set in his hat, of the crossed sickle and hammer of the Peasants and Workmen's Republic At last. after a general shout of farewell. the Films turned and went back into their civilization, and we went forward into the new struggling civilization of Rus sia. Crossing that bridge we passed from one philosophy to another, from one extreme of the class struggle to the other, from a dictatorship of the bourgeoise to a dictatorship of the proletariat.
 The contrast was noticeable at once. On the Finnish side of the frontier we had seen the grandiose new frontier station, much larger than could pos sibly be needed, but quite a good ex- pression of the spirit of the new Fin land On the Russian side we came to the same gray old wooden station known to all passengers to and from Russia for polyglot profanity and passport difficulties. There were no porters, which is not surprising, be- cause there is barbed wire and an ex- tremely hostile sort of neutrality along the fontier and traffic across

Our party of four newspaper cor respondents. two Norwegians, a Swede and myself, left Stockholm to go into Russia with the members of the Soviet governments legation. It was headed by Vorovsky and Lit vinov, who were going home after the breaking off of official relations by Sweden.
 We crossed by boat to Apo, grind ing our way through the ice, and then travelled by rail to the Russian frontier.
 A squad of Finnish soldiers guarded the party Arrived at the frontier close to Bieloostrov, we walked few hundred yards along the line and then turned into a road deep in snow through a little bare wood, and so down to the little wooden bridge over the narrow frozen stream that sep arates Finland from Russia. The bridge. not twenty yards across, has toll bar at each end, two sentry boxes and two sentries.
 The Finnish soldiers lifted their toll bar, and the Finnish officers leading our escort walked solemnly to the middle of the bridge. Then the lug gage was dumped there, while we stood watching the trembling of the rickety little bridge under the weight of our belongings, for we were all talk ing in with us as much food as we decently could. We were none of us

THINK IT OVER

Can you imagine the antics of your body if the various members should suddenly develop Individual brains and each ignore the stimulus from the nerve centers of the brain?
 One foot would want to go down street. the other up. The left eye would wish to be ready, the right to look at pictures. The stomach might crave for meat and the kidneys refuse 10 act as d filter for anything but water. one ear might long for the music of a cathedral. while the other insisted on Durlesque jazz.

According to Rev. G. D. Yoakum. pas tor, the church makes no profit from the Wednesday dinners, and he ex- poets it to make less than that when the men hold forth
 The men of the congregation who are the prime instigators in perpetrat- ing the big feed along strictly "scien- tifie lines are F. A. Jefferson. Frank M. Mosshammer. W. c. Powell and G. s. Cline. Cline is chief cook. Pow ell regularly connected with the city engineers office, is to lay out the lines for cutting the bread and to adjust the temperature on the gas stove to bring the coffee to boil without burn ing it.

 The congregation is reported all agog over the whole business. many of the wives appearing to have very poor opinions of their husbands as potato peelers. and some being quite inter ested in learning just how useful their husbands can he. It is said that the women invariably serve meals that cost about 5 cents. exclusive of work, but that there is reason for believing that the men will serve about s5 worth for the price. pocket the loss and derive great credit as providers.

There was, however, a samOvar, and we bought tea at 50 kopeeks glass and Jumps of sugar at rubles 50 each We took our tea into the inner passport room, where l think a stove must have been burning the day before, and there made some sort of a meal off some of Puntervald's s Swedish hard bread.
 When at last the train came to take us into Petrograd, and we found that the carriages were unheated, some body got out a mandolin and we kept ourselves warm by dancing. At the same time I was sorry for the five children who were with us. knowing that a country simultaneously suffer ing war, blockade and revolution is moi a good place for children.
 It was dusk when we reached Petrograd The Finland station. oi course, was nearly deserted, but here there were four portes, who chaged 250 roubles for shifting the luggage of the party from one end of the plat form to the other. We ourselves loaded it into the motor lorry sent tG meet us.
 There was long time to wait while rooms were being allotted to us in the hotel. I inquired for meal. and found that no food was to be had in the ho- tel, but they could supply hot water Then. to get an appetite for sleep, went out for short walk I went round to the Regina, which used to be one of the best hotels in the town, but those of us who had rooms there were complaining so bitterly that I did not stay with them, but went T<~sI- +y esHrr~ and so back to my hotel The streets, like the hotel, were only half lit. and hardly any of the houses had a lighted window. In the old sheepskin coat had worn on the front and in my high fur hat, I felt like some ghost of the old regime visiting a town long dead.

Ru.iness Is Good

That there is money to be made in the bee business, is vouched for by w. F. Bowers who stated yesterday that his net earnings for the past year from $50 stands of bees was better than $4.000. Bowers has been engaged in the bee business for a, number of years and operates an up to date apiary on the transmission road six miles east of Mesa. Optimistic over the success yfle has had. he is now contemplating an enlargement of his business and hopes to run twice as many stands. Honey, in Bowers opinion, will replace sugar to a large extent for sweetening, and the fact that is considerably cheaper will cause much greater demand for it if tlse sugar famine persists.

Is this photograph a picture of Russia today? What is really going inside the wall of steel that rings about Soviet Russia? Stories myths fables doctored "news"-has been coming of Russia, but what the real facts? Is Soviet Russia paradise earth, its enthusiastic admirers assert is it land of starvation misery and colossal failure?
 The Arizona Republican begins today the publca- tion of six articles by Arthur Ransome the REAL dtons in Russia. They contain the meat of Ransomes book, Russia in 1919.'

 He is probably more familiar with the life and habits of thought of the Russian people than any man not a Russian by birth.
 He watched the revolution in Rus isia, and has been in intimate touch with all its leaders His book, Rus sia in 1919." is the record of the latest developments in Soviet Russia

Ransome is not Bolshevik. He is sympathetic to the Soviet regime in Russia, but he records the facts as he believes they are And his facts show that there is misery disorganization, starvation in Russia today.
 Ransome became Russian corre- spondent for the London Daily News by accident He is the author of sev- eral books of literary criticism. He married a Russian woman and learned the Russian language. Then he went to Russia. out among the peasants to get the folklore and fairy stories of the people. From this material he worked up a book of fairy stories for children. all of them a thousand years old-but never before printed.
