Russian Patriots
Form Province
in New York

New York, Dec. 25.-(By A. P.)-
New York boasts foreign colonies from
all the countries of the globe. but few
New Workers know that within the
confines Of their great metropolis there
exists an organized province" Of the
Russia of the czars. firmly knit and
efficiently directed by a governor gen.
eral and a staff of provincial officers.
The province has no boundaries. It's
headquarters shifts weekly from one
east side meeting hall to another. It's
exchequer is ofttimes barren. but the
hearts of its citizens are rich in faith
that some day they will again live on
the soil of the Russia of their fathers.
Several hundred Russian men and
women. driven out of their homeland
by the Soviets and held together here
by their patriotism, formed the provin-
cial government. Many of the exiles
had noble titles, others were officials
of old Russia. Now many of them are
day laborers and few are affiuent.
Each Tuesday night they meet in
rented hall and revive memories
Of their days in Moscow and Petro-
grad. There are Russian songs and
Russian dancing, speeches. poems
and anecdotes.
The governor general Is IN charge.
His staff constitutes reception
committee. Two generals laborious-
.ly draw up the curtains. Another
former army officer Is accompanist
at the piano.
The scenes bring the audience
back to the great opera house in
Petrograd. to receptions in the homes
of the upper classes. Then an elo-
cutionist recites poems. describing
the downfall of the old life, and q
hush of bitterness and sadness falls
over the listeners.
But the sad mood Is dispelled
when the lieutenant governor imi-
tateS two old Babushshki in Con-
stantinople describing the splendors
of New York. Their roseate miscon-
ceptions of the new world make the
hearers rock with laughter.
Then the province" disbands and
it's members go back to the far
from roseate reality of their lives in
exile.

Big Task To Gather Honey

To turn out one pound of honey II
is estimated that honey bees must
have taken the nectar from more
than $4,000 clover blossoms, and that
to accomplish this there would be
required some 2,750,000 visits to the
blossoms by the bees. 4
In other words, to collect sufficient
nectar to make up one pound of
honey a bee must proceed from hive
to flower and back again 2.750,000
times.
When one considers the distances
honey bees sometimes traverse in
search Of clover fields, in some cases
a mile or two from the hive, one be-
gins to obtain an idea, in q slight de-
gree, of the number of miles the in
dustrious little creatures must travel
in order that man may possess q
pound Of honey.-Washingto Star.

The company spent six weeks in
camp, nearly eight miles from tele-

Most of the outdoor scenes were
shot more than ten miles above sea
level.
Fifty mules were constantly en-
ployed in packing supplies to the
camp, an eight-hour journey from
the end Of the wagon road.
A mountain village was built by
solute dictatorship over 300 inhabi-
tants.
Fifteen hundred mountain trout
were required for the camp break
fast.
Ninety tons Of supplies, including
ma terials, food and equipment, were
carried on the backs of mules.
Black bears raided the camp

GASOLINE PRICE IS REDUCED To
TH|RTY-F|VE CENTS IN LOCAL FIELD

From 40 cents to . cents a gallon
was the reduction made in the retail
price of gasoline in this district last
Monday.
This followed sharp reduction
made in the wholesale price by the
Standard Oil Company, which ap-
pears to have been due for several
weeks Information of this cut was
conveyed to the local garages and
dealers Sunday and by common con-
sent they put the retail reduction into
effect the following day.
The motive behind the reduction,
as near as local dealers could figure,
seems to be lacking. 1t appears to be
a result of outside conditions. For
almost three months there has been
a much lower ratio of prices not many
miles from Ely than those ruling
