treaty the bolshevists have entered into at least 50 other international pacts. It was the forerunner of the largest crop of international confer ences any other European power ever had in 10 times as many years. The bolshevists have expelled their ene- mies from most of the Czar's old regime. They have made peace with Poland and their Baltic neighbors. They have signed treaties with Persia and Turkey and have federated vari- ous so-called governments in Europe and Asia which seographers have never been able to define.
 But not single first-class power has granted them recognition, unless Germany be ranked as such. Their diplomatic exploits have not vet yielded results where Lenine and Trotzky most desired them. The promises of peace and prosperity which Lenine and Trotzky made to quiet the clamor caused in Russia by the Brest-Litovsk treaty have not been realized. Land. bread and peace were their three fayorite words five years ago. The peasants have the land, but many of them are starving g on 1t.

cattle movement was the striking increase in the marketing of both western range cattle and Canadian
 cattle. From July 15 to December 80 receipts of such stock at Chicago
 alone amounted to 26s.10 head, com
 pared with 14S,614, during the cor
 responding period of 1921, an in crease of approximately S1 per cent.
 Although during a greater part Of 1922 cattle prices Jagged somewhat behind those of hogs and sheep, a fact which was the basis of rather bitter complaint and considerable loss on the part of range cattlemen in particular, cattle prices were note worthy In that there was an ab- sence of sudden and wide fluctua-
 tions in price and steadily upward trend. During the entire year week ly average prices of good and me dium beef steers, which grades con- stituted more than 75 per cent of the steers offered, fluctuated within the extremely narrow range of s1s6 per 100 pounds. Opening prices were within 10 cents of the lowest of the year and closing quotations were only 20 cents under the high point.

EST-LITOvSK, Poland Feb. 24 kMarch ? will be the fifth anniversary sof the treaty of Brest -Litovsk Joffe and Radek and their bolshevik asso- eiates penned their signature unwille ingly to the hateful paper after Gen. eral Hoffman had pounded the treaty table and announced the Germans would advance immediately upon Petrograd and Moscow if the bolshe- wiki delayed longer.
 That treaty was superseded by the treaty of Rapollo, which Germany and Russia signed so unexpectedly during the Genoa conference last spring But the business relations which Germany hoped would result gin an exchange of considerable eamounts of German manufactured sgoods for Russian raw materials ehave been disappointing.

Transcontinental AutoRecord Is Smashed By Quick Run

The Union Pacific is placing IS of these slocofilotives in passenger ser vice, and owing to the fact that these new engines are among the largest and most powerful in use in the United States, considerable interest was attached to the arrival of this train.
 These engines cost approximately $6S,OO0 each and some idea of their dimensions may be gained from the following figures: Total. weight of engine and tender, loaded, 5S2,S0O poundss cylinders 20 inches diameter by 2S inches stroke ssweight of drivers, 23O.2oO pounds; total weight of en- zine loaded S45,000 pounds; total wheel base of engine and tender 79 feet, 111s inches grate area, S4 square feet.

]. C. Penney
Store Cosmopolitan

A distinct air of big city mer-
chandising methods prevails at the
new j. C. Penney store, located in
the Daley block just completed.
More than a car load Of fumed oak
fixtures, comprised mainly of show
cases. counters, and attractive
tables for merchandise, make the
new store one of which Rawlins can
be justly proud. Cases, counters,
and tables are. arranged in the big
double space something in the shape
of horseshoe with the two ends at
the rear. A big curving case sta
toned at the front Of the store and
in the center further emphasizes
this comparison. To the extreme
real are found the ladies and mems
furnishing departments. one on
either side Of the store. These fea-
ture every convenience in mirrors,
dressing rooms, and the like.
One important item in the store
arrangement which has not yet been
installed is an overhead cash and
bundle carrying system bringing
these items to a central wrapping
and change making desk to be To-
Gated on the mezzinine floor. Six
wires serve as many points in the
store.
The success OF those planning the
building is at once apparent in the
store fronts. especially the big
double window Of the ]. c.. Penney
company. A visit to the store will
Immediately impress the visitor with
the fact that Rawlins has a cosmo-

Basketball Season
Gets "a Great Start

"Oh, Fan II winter comes can
games be far away?"
That has been the question OF the
hour among basketball fans at the
Rawlins High School for some time.
And that is a question most success
fully answered last Friday evening
at the High School gymnasium.
The interclass games opened this
year. with the Freshmen girls play
ing the Sophmore girls. The game
was full Of thrills from the first
to the last whistle. and the score of
fifteen to five in favor of the Soph-
mores is no indication of the real
battle that took place. Ruth Street,
playing for the Sophmore class was
the individual star of the game. In
the second contest Of the day, the
Senior girls Game, saw and con-
Quered" to the tune of thirty-seven
to five. The team work of the SEN
Tor team was far superior to that
of the Junior girls and was very
largely responsible for their decis-
i've victory. Bessie Lamberson and
Thelma Carroll were easily in the
star class" owing to their remarka-
~ oSolib. 2hioo 1 Johnson
refereed the girls games in a very
satisfactory manner.
The Freshmen boys sprung the
surprise of the evening when they
wer returned victorious over the
highly touted Sophmore team. The
midgets started off with a rush and
had an II to 2 score piled up
against their opponents at the end
of the first half. The Sophmores at
tempted a come bark in the second
half. but were unable to overcome
the lead of the youngsters. The f.
nal score was 25 to Is. The Junior
boys ran true to form and won a
closely contested game against the
Seniors. The Seniors lead in scor-
ing the first half but We're outpoint-
ed by the flashy Juniors in the final
minutes of the second half. Walter
