SIOUX FALLS, S. D., Feb. I'll
". W. Howes, of WoIsey, South
Dakota, chairman of the McAdoo
delousing conference held in Chicago
yesterday, did not speak for the dirt
farmers of South Dakota but for the
dirty capitalist politicians when he
pledged his native state to the Nc
Adoo boosters.

Here's Another InstalIment of "AWeek"

had no need Of other love or other
lips.
He did not like her family, her
father, the Colonel Dragging of his
nobility, the sons who copied him,
young elegant officers-and yet he
spent his evenings at her house,
listened to her unhurried sensible
words, and read her his first poems,
that he had written for her.
What a short time ago that was,
and how irrevocably far it seemed!
If there is such thing as immor-
tally, the soul of the man who died
yesterday remembers so his past
existence.
The Revolution had come between
them. Nadya did not understand
it, listened to his burning words,
smiling and tearing up a scrap of
paper or stuff in her delicate fng-
ers-that was a habit she had
and replied: GAIL this has hap
pened before, Volodya; every revo-
luton begins with joy and the ex-
pectation of the Kingdom of
Heaven upon earth, and the event
brings so much suffering as to out
weigh altogether its diminutive
gains"
And each moment the develop
ment of the revolution took firmer
hold on him, whereas she became
religious, studied the Apocalypse,
and expected the end of the world.
They became more and more alien
and incomprehensible for each
other.
At the time Of the October Revo-
luton he was an opponent Of the
Bolsheviks, and was even arrested
by them for two weeks. But this
arrest did not draw them together
but still further drove them apart.
When he came out of prison she
met him as if he were martyr.
Whereas for him, all it amounted
to was that he chad had some
difference of opinion" with the Boil
sheviks.
Soon after that he had stopped
going to the house. He was panied
by the blind hatred with which her
whole family regarded the Soviet
Government and the revolution.
The civil war separated them
for a long time, and then when
he, already a Communist, returned
to the town with the victorious Red
Army and learnt that her brother
had been shot as counter-revo-
lutionary, he could not make up
his mind to visit them, and, meeting
only in the street, bowed to her
who had grown handsomer tho
always sad, and she soberiy nodded
her head in reply, and each meet
ing left its trace in his soul.
The comrades walked in silence,
each one immersed in his own
thoughts. There was the rail-
ing of their garden, from which
dropped the boughs of lilac and
acacia.

well, let's begin with the cor
ner one" Stalmakhov broke the
silence.
With the corner one? There it
stood, a red brick house, and thru
the chinks of the closed shutters
spirited thin welcoming rays of
light, as in that time so long
ago. -.
mo, Comrade Stalmakhov, into
that house l will not go. | beg

catching by the sleeves the coldly
wondering Stalmakhov, he whisper
ed to him, "You 60 in there, the
two of you. Acquaintance OF
mine live here awkward for
me :. am sorry, Of course. !"
"All right then. -. had for
gotten that you are from these
parts" Stalmakhov murmured, at
tentively and humorously looking
at Martuinov.
"Come on said Stalmakhov to
the third of them, and they began
knocking loudly.
A swarm of thoughts, one after
another, rushed thru Martuinov's
mind, and when the wicket already
creaked, and a frightened voice
asked, "What is it? What do you
want 2" Martuinov, breathless from
the beating of his heart, with the
despair of man resolved on sui
eide, went into the big courtyard.
Stalmakhov glanced back at him.
They went thru the dark pass
age into the dining room Martuinov
knew SO we'll; there, under the
bright circle of the lampshade,
they were drinking tea. Mar
tuinov knew so well everything in
that dining rooml
There was Colonel Rostovtsev
himself, little dried up old man,
in a worn-out military tunic, the
places on the shoulders where
once had been stitched epaulettes
showing green with new cloth. He
was serving now in the Commits
sariat for War and, with trem-
bling hands, hurried to get his GER
tificate.
There was his wife, a tall, hand
some woman with pale face and
eyes like Nadya's, who once upon
a time had been SO fond of Mar
tuinov. Not raising her head, she
went on cleaning the glasses.
And there, in the far corner, was
Nadya. 1t was SO long since
he had seen her in a simple indoor
frockl She was getting up from
her chair; she was disturbed and
angry-for Martuinov knew every
line, every movement of this face
that even now was dear to him.
From under the lamp she tried
to see those who had come in. :.
She was looking i. 5. straight into
his eyes. She recognized him and
turned male.

criminal undertakings. AS late as
November, 1923, the Mensheviks in
Georgia were busy preparing an
armed instruction against the gov

(WHAT HAS GONE BEFORE)
The Russian Communist Party
branch is governing this frontier
city and fighting the counter
revolution. Earlier installments
tell of the fuel shortage that pre-.
vents seed grain from being
fetched on the railroad. The Party
meeting decides to send the Red
Army far away for fuel, at the
risk of leaving the city open for
bandits and counter-revolutionists.
1t also decides to conscript the
local bourgeoisie for wood cutting
in a nearby park. Varied types
of party members are flashed on
the screen: Klimin, the efficient
president of the branch, who still
finds time to have a sweetheart;
Robeiko, the consumptive, whose
devotion is killing him; Gornuikh,
the brilliant youth Of 10 on the
Cheka; Matusenko, the luxury
loving place hunter, and Martui-
nov, whose middle-class anteced-
ants allow him to fit with some
difficulty into the movement to
which his idealism led him. In
the last issue Martuinov has rushed
to the courtyard of the Commun-
ist Company at the sound of the
alarm siren which calls the party
members to arms. (NOW GO ON

Christmas Buyers
Urged to Shop Early
By p. o. Department

The shop early, mail early cam.
paign inaugurated by Postmaster
General New last year proved to be
an unqualified success. 1t was of
great benefit to the people and
also enables post-office employees to
deliver all the Christmas mail be-
fore noon on December 25. The
department again this year asks
the hearty cooperation of the pub
lie in order that the record made
last year may be equalled, if not ex-
celled.
When you shop early and mail
early you are helping the clerks
in the post office to eat their din
ners home and you are greatly
benefiting yourselves. You have a
greater chance to secure a better
selection of gifts from the stores,
you have more time to wrap them
securely and you are sure that
they will arrive at their destina-
ton in time to be opened Christmas
morning. You are also relieving the
burdens on the clerks behind the
counters in the stores, and you are
giving a practical demonstration of
the good will that Christmas time
signifies. Acting Postmaster Cen
eral, John H. Bartlett requests that
you refrain from using small en-
velopes in sending your Christ
mas cards as this very greatly
retards the sorting and distribution
of the mails. Let all of us pull
together this year, do our shopping
early and do our mailing early, let's
make it a genuine old-fashioned

folks on the coast he is from

O'Neil to leave here Sunday, max
ing stops at Mexicalli, Los Angeles
and San Francisco While In Frisco

of George Wilson, who is handling

1t seems to me that the very
fact that you make them appeal as
Negroes creates and impression that
you are not part of the whole,
but rather a part by yourselves,
somewhat separated from the rest
of our citizens. If you wish to
convey the impression that you must
be appealed to as Negroes why not
create Negro political party and
as party work for such condi-
tions as you would like to create.

either for or against the Negro as

study the so-cailed race problem as
it is one of the greatest problems
confronting our, nation today and it
must be solved right, by common
sense and reason. AS one of the
first steps for all nationalities and
races composing our nation is to
forget they are Negro-Americans

ETC., but just plain American citi-

for anyone to appeal for my vote
as a Norwegian-American. l be-
lieve the great Overwhelming majori-
ty of white people want to give the

and economically, there are of course
individuals of all races who are
guided by prejudice and passions in
stead Of reason and it is the duty

of every race to teach such people
the error of their ways, for no prob
