SOVIET TREATS
RUSSIAN FOLK
AT AER0DROME
Favorite Peasant Food Is
ShoWered on Crowds
hN RomherS.

MOSCOW, April Like the
mama which descended for the
children of Israel in the desert,
borsht and kasha dropped recently
from the skies" into the gaping
mouths Of hundreds of peasants
visiting the capital as delegates to
an agrarian conference.
Doubtless, the miracle will be re-
counted to incredulous folks back
home, in distant villages through
out the land, now that the meeting
is over and the 1900 collective farm
shock brigadiers have left.
The scene was not a desert, but
the military aerodrome where the
delegates were being shown Soviet
achievements in the way of air
preparedness.
High army officials were on hand
to explain everything and the dele
gates, simple farmers all and many
of them seeing an airplane for the
first time, were tremendously i'm
pressed.
Attached to Parachute
A batch of air bombers was sent
up while the peasant visitors looked
up in delight and half in fear per-
haps, thinking of the bombs which
these planes might scatter. Sud-
denly their fears seemed justified.
Some strange objects were being
dropped by the bambers.
The objects were only parachutes,
with weights attached. The 'chutes
opened up gracefully and f1oated
downward. Soon they touched the
gronud, some near, some far. Air
Sleds" rushed out and rescued those
which Strayed too far.
The peasants crowded around the
parachutes. Each of them, they
found, had brought to earth a great
black pot tightly sealed. When the
pots were opened they disclosed
borsht and kasha, two of the dishes
closest to a peasants heart.
Stain Is Witness
The food thus dropped from the
sky was eaten by the guests with
great glee amidst cheers and
speeches.
This was by no means the only
stunt to impress the visiting col
lectivized farmers
The best that the capital has to
oqer was modified for the dele
gates. The press gave all its space
to them. Portraits of peasants by
the dozen were published
Above all, the leaders of the ma
ton lost no opportunity to make
themselves visible, audible and af-
fable. Stain himself attended many
sessions and, yielding to demands
from the audience, made a speech
at the closing session.
Practically every Bolshevik lead
er worth his salt addressed the
peasants.

The system officer Teater uses is
to have the loud-mouthed rooster

plenty of room in which to do his

HERE'S A QUEER QUIRK
This Is a Neat Example to Figure

BY OHiteu IfeSS
PORTLAND, Ore, April 8. - If
you're one of those people who are
always figuring out intriguing in
stances with a calendar or clock
here's another:
At 1888 p. M, Friday, March 8,
the date was-"3-3 1873: 33"-or the
33rd minute Of the 3rd hour of the
3rd month of the 33rd year.
And the next time such time
will be repeated on our present cal

"So?" Inspector Davis leaned
forward. What Captain Turner
is that?"
She seemed to hesitate. Finally
she said: Jim Turner. He's the
captain Of the Marie Louise. He
came in today from British Hon
duras with a thousand cases of
Scotch"
How do you know so much
about it?"
Il should know" she retorted.

COMMITTING of that sort of
~ thing happens, and it's no duty
Of the law to mcguire too deeply
into the reason for it. Usually it's
money. Informers are entitled to
25 per cent of the value of seizures
made through their information.
But money didn't seem to be the
reason in this case. The girl ap-
peared surprised to learn about
that. Even then. it didn't particu-
larly interest her.
Davis was puzzled. If her story
was correct, it was enough to act
on. AlsO-the Mississippi delta
below New Orleans being a place
where many sinister things can
happen-maybe it was a plant"
The inspector suspected some
thing of the sort. He and his men
had been targets for rum-running
bullets more than ore. Never,
indeed, at the invitation of such a
pretty girl.
Anyhow, he took her name
which was Marie Louise Turner
and told her to come back with
more facts. Just where the liquor
was cached, for instance.
n n
nUTSIDE, standing in the
" doorway of the customs
house, Marie Louise paused, ir-
resolute. More information, the
inspector wanted. She wrinkled
her pretty brows.

Kougarok

Especial Nugget Correspondence) Taylor, AAska, Feb. 2Oth.
 The Kougarok' has experienced two severe cold spells within the past month. Both times the tenn perature went to 65 degrees be- low zero. However, each was ter minated by warm weather, conse- quently there is little snow in the Taylor district this year.
 pr. o A Braafiadt of Nome was Ia recent visitor at Taylor, passing thru to the Serpentine Hot Springs accompanied by Mrs. Braafiadt.
 James Cassady who has spent a pleasant fortnight in the Koug- arok as the guest of MT. and Mrs. Larson, returned to his home in Nome recently. While here he spent several days at the Serpen- tine Hot Springs, and also climbed Midnight Mountain, Kougarok Mt. and Harris Dome, thereby adding credit to his many accomplish ments as a member of the Wash iington Alpine Club.
 Jerry Sullivan returned from Nome recently where he had gone to report -demise of Frank Miller, who had been living at Taylor for number of years. MT. Miller was buried at the Pilgrim Hot Springs, according to his last wishes.
 Harold Bayhe, Walter Taylor and Otto Worm who are living in the old Henry Creek Camp at the mouth of Henry Creek, are mov- ing the Henry Creek Dredge camp to new site further down the river, close to the mouth of Ari- zona Creek. It is understood that Messrs. Bayne, Worm and Taylor, may operate the dredge this conn ing season.
 It is hoped that, due to the lack of SHOW. this winter. there will be an early spring breakup and plen- |ty of water this summer, for the Kougarokers to carry on mining operations.
 Thomas Sweeney has been doing 1assessment work on ground of his own as well as that of James Cor rigan.

lay approximately $50 dead and un-
counted wounded-gruesome reminder
of the strife in which rebel troops and
oppositionist civilian groups sought to
restore former Provisional President
Manuel de Cespedes to power.
Among the dead was the picturesque
veteran rebel of the hills, Juan Bias
Hernandez, who lost his life in his first
engagement within the city.
Woman Among Wounded.
And, among the wounded. was at
least one woman, who, with several
others, entered the Atares Castle with
the rebels shortly before dawn yester-
day, q few hours before Col. Batista's
loyal troops opened the devastating at
tack which resulted in the surrender Of
some $500 revolters in what was re-
garded as a decisive blow at the revolu-
tionary cause.
Government authorities were conf
dent, however, that they had the situa-
ton well in hand, and it appeared that
no foreign intervention was contem-
plated. The U. S. S. wyoming steamed
toward Havana, but she was expected
to remain outside the harbor on her
arrival early Saturday.
In stern efforts to end the reign OF
terror the government invoked state
of SIEGE" during which no one was al
lowed in the streets after pm. with
out pass.
Interior Trouble Denied.
President Grau told reporters there
was no truth in reports that rebels were
forming in the interior.
It was late yesterday afternoon that
rebel forces surrendered the ancient
AtareS fortress, their last main strong
hold. With the surrender, brilliant
lights flashed from the capitol, signify
ing the governments victory.
For six hours steady stream OF
three-inch shells and machine-gun and
rifle bullets had poured into the fortesS
before the rebels ran up the white flag
at 4:O7 pm. Survivors said the walls
had begun to crumble.
With the fall of the fortess, utter
confusion reigned in the capitol, max
ing it impossible at the time to compile
an accurate list of casualties.
At nightfall snipers we're active and
scattered rifle and machtne-gun fire
burst forth throughout the city. Later
the sniping died down and comparative
quiet fell.
