RUSSIAN CAPITALISTS.

Moscow's new capitalists are in
dulging in an orgy of spending that
has enlivened the citys night life un-
til restaurant and cabaret scenes re-
semble the palmiest days before the
war when Muscovite merchants spent
money freely The millions of rubles
netted by days trade or speculation
are squandered at night. because to-
morrow the money VIII buy less, as
prices for everything are climbing
daily.
When the ruble was quoted recently
at nearly $500, 900 to the dollar, prices
for foodstuffs and other commodities
were four to five times as high as q
month previous when the ruble was
worth nearly twice as much.
The ruble equivalent of dollar has
purchasing powers that are fantastic
when compared with American stand
ards, but which accurately typify the
real value of essentials as compared
to knick knacks and superficial
adornments.
A dollar viii buy only 20 pounds Of
black bread, two pounds of butter. four
pounds of meat, even less in the line
of new wearing apparel. But it will
buy bit Of antique 1ewelry or porce-
lain that would bring ten times as
much in America, The necessary
things have leaped so high in price that
the people sacrifice the unessentials
cheaply to get them.
The rising prices and decreasing
value of currency have sharpened the
contrast in life Of Moscow's inhabi-
tants Thousands ore unable to buy
even bread, while hundreds pay the
.rubles equivalent of IS for dinner at
the brilliant night restaurants.
Imported face powder, at the cost
of SIS a box, finds buyers, while

two cents American, may be beyond
the pocket book Of the next person to
pass the market which sells both OF
them.
A month ago foreigners living In
Moscow found life cheap when cal
culated in American or English cur
rency. The soaring prices. however,
have changed all this. and on a com
parative scale the cost Of living is
higher now in Moscow than IN Ber-

King"
Therefore when Miss Alice took The
King to Windermere with her to spend
a couple OF months with her Aunt
she was worried when the first thing
she saw as they entered the living
room was a white kitten rolled cozily
up in a sunny window
She held a restraining hand on The
Kings collar while he eyed the kitten.
Then as soon as her aunt stepped
out of the room, she talked IT oyer
with The King. First she picked I'D
the kitten and held It in her lap.
Then she looked straight into the dogs
eyes and told him he muse on no
account touch that kitten; she would

did. Then she Rugged him tight and
begged him TO obey her this orce.
And The King, somehow, understood.

about between his big paws. within

The King never moved. And some
how, in the DAYS that followed, q.
friendship grew up between the two.
It was a curious thing, for The King
was still death to any other un-
fortunate cat that happened to stray
near the place.
One warm evening The King wan

was not used 10 going out in the even

might happen TO him. Down the walk
he saw a gray shape sinking along.
He gTowled deep in his throat. With
one bound he was OF the veranda.
Another and he was upon the cat.
There was a scream. Miss Alice
flashed on the porch light, and The
King looked in bewilderment at the
ifeIass little white kitten that lay
before him. Slowly he went into the
house. his head down. Miss Alice
Just looked at him and said nothing.
His tail went between his legs He
sought a corner by himself And there

he looked ur az the kittens favorite

7 1.-The Pirates Cave = !
So

It was q rainy old May day when the
fellows in our Pirate Seven got to-
gether. There were little places
where the old shack was leaking, and
we had to sit all together in one
corner.
Geo." says Sam, "I'll be glad when
we can go camping. There's so many
things we can learn out in the woods,
and lots of different things to do.
I'm gonna learn all about trees and
plants and things"
I'm going to collect rocks" speaks
up Squee. Honest, it's awful inter-
esting to know about rocks and the
way the earth IS made and all that"
He reached in his pocket and brought
out a shiny stone. Here's a piece
OF quartz, / think. I found the other
day. I'm going to take it UP to Pro-
fessor Watkins house and ask him
about 1t. He's a friend of Dads and
knows about stones. He tells me
stories about all kinds OF metals and
how they were formed and where
they're found, and all that.
You know in our history there's a
paragraph about the gold rush to CALI
fornia in Is49. There's a sentence
that says gold was discovered there
by James Marshall. And that's all It
says. Professor Watkins was telling
me about how the gold was really
found I'd always wondered how they
happened onto it.
The Building Of the Mill
James Marshall had been hired to
build a sawmill at Colona on the
American River. lie took with him
Peter L. WINNER and his wife to
help him. That part of the country
was all wild, with no settlements then,
and he had to get Indians to work on
the mill
Finally the dam and headgate of
the mill were finished. Water was
turned on at night to wash out the
sand and gravel. IN the morning
Marshall inspected the rnillrace to see
how well the washing had cleaned it
out. He noticed little shining specks
on the bottom, but paid no attention
to them then.

Nothing could go farther towards IN
dicating the agricultural progress OF
Escambia than the movement OF irish
potatoes and cucumbers which have
boen shipped from this county within
the past few weeks.
Cooperative farming In Escamoia
has meant much to the farmer in many
ways. but in nothing has the value
Of the work OF the county agent and
the corporation given him by the
farmers been more substantially illus
trated than in the recent shipments
of produce.
The farmers who have Joined togeth-
er comparatively and are shipping
their produce TO northern markets by
the carload have received spot cash for
their money. and this means more
money in circulation and SO. not only
better times for the farmer, but also
better times for the merchant.
The cooperative methods Of the
farmers Of Escambia county have met
with some opposition strange as this
may seem. Some there are who main
tain that farmers may sell co-opera-
lively. but should not buy co-opera-
tivel. not realizing that If by pur-
chasing in large lots, they may save
on certain supplies it makes it possi-
Die for the farmer TO spend in other
directions. And money, in circulation
means better times FOR everybody
Last year only a small number of
carloads Of produce were shipped from
the whole county. It Is estimated that
about one hundred carloads will leave
the county by the end of the season.
This Is a splendid record TO estab-
ush. and EIr Clayton, of the coopera
live department of the extension divi-
sion OF the University OF Florida,
stated the other day when in Pensacola
that. in his opinion, Escambia county
would vet rank as one of the leading
trucking counties of the state.
There is every reason why this
should be true What has been done on
a small scale can always be done on
larger scale.
A county that can go over to Jack
sonville year after year and carry off
The first honors for agriculture, can
