ITALY AND RUSSIA
 ON NORMAL FOOTING.
Commercial Treaty Signed, GiV- ing De lure Recognition of SoVietS

Rome, Feb. S.-Normal relations exist between Italy and Russia today for the first time since the overthrow of the czarist regime. De iure recog- milton of the soviet government in Moscow was extended simultaneously with the signing here yesterday of a commercial treaty between the two countries. and it was announced that an ambassador to Moscow would i'm mediately be appointed.
 The Italian action follows that of tho labor government of Great Britain which extended recognition 10 the soriets soon after assuming office.
 The conclusion of the treaty is widely commented upon by the press. the predominant note being one of qualification. It is claimed that the Italian recognition, as q mat ter of fact, preceded that of the Mac Donald government, occurring Jan. Sl when the negotiations for the treaty were completed.
 The corrierc ltaliano. moreover, emphasized the fact that Premier Mussolini settled all the pending questions between the two countries, while Premier Macdonald made only a statement recognizing Russia. coupled this with many reservations and left nnsolved the many questions at issue between great Britain and Russia.
 By the signing Of the treaty, the Nuovo Paese says the Russian bol- shcvists shook hands with the Italian Fascist, giving the socialists and communists q burning lesson in po- litical realism and patriotism"

The next step is for the citizens ia
get together and clean up the grounds
and build suitable camp stoves, pro-

done cheerfully. There are plenty Of
citizens behind the proposition and
we expect to have fine park ready

TWO DAYS
(Author Unknownl

A song Of sunshine through the rain
OF spring across the snow.
A balm to heal the hurts of pain,
A peace surprising woe.
Lift up your heads. ye sorrowing ones
And be ye glad of heart,
For Calvary day and Easter day,
Earth's seddest day and giaddest day
Were just one day apart
No hint or whisper stirred the air
To tell what joy should be;
The poor disciples grieving there
No help nor hope could see
Yet all the while the glad near sun
Made ready its swift dart,
And Calvary day and Easter day,
The darkest day, and brightest day,
Were just one day apart.
