PETROGRAD, Nov. 28.—Pointing
out the opportunity for the develop
ment of American trade in Russia j
after the war, the Commercial and j
Industrial Gazette suggests that the!
part to be played by Americans will
be great.
“Russia,” says the Gazette, “in the
near future will play the part of buy
er rather than of seller and therefore,
it is necessary that American com
mercial men should be well acquaint-'
I
eded with the demands of the Russian [
market and with the conditions of ;
buying and selling in Russia. In ord- i
er to obtain this, the Americans
should organize an experienced staff
of traveling agents, with a good knowl
edge of Russian. The agents, by com
ing into contact with Russians, would
soon get to know the neds of the Rus
I
sian market, and would be able to
suit American produce to Russian
needs, so that they would be above all
competition. j *
“The same method of carrying goods
by means of agents should also be ap
plied to products, which Russia is in
a condition to export to America
(wool, beet seeds, clover seeds, etc).
“Parallel with this, it would be de
sirably to form in Russia a staff of
trained mechanics and engineers, who
should undertake the management
and development of railways in Rus
sia.
“There is no doubt that after the
war Russia will have an extensive
market for agricultural implements,
which branch of trade has always been
of great interest to Americans. There
fore it would be to America’s advan
tage to have a large staff of enlighten
ed workmen in Russia, to which end,
the Americans would doubtless will
ingly throw open the doors of their
industrial schools and workshops to
Russian workers. On the other hand,
Russian institutions would also will
ingly take in all Americans desirous
of learning the conditions of com
merce in Russia.
"In such a manner there would be
an exchange of practical workers,
which from an economic point of view
is the best way to insure success."
BOYS ABE DOING
THEIR PARI
(By Associated Press)
LONDON, Nov. 28.—The British
school boy’s horse-chestnut harvest is
one of the amazing war activities of
this season. Some time ago, an ap
peal was issued to the school boys,
stating that the government could
use unlimited quantities of horse
chestnuts and acorns in the manufac
ture of munitions. The quantities
that have ben turned in have exceed
ed all expectations, and the harvest
is only about half in. One small Lon
don school has collected 24,000 pounds.
A record is kept of the number of
nuts collected by each boy, and the
best record so far is 21,175. One school
room of twenty boys has gathered
115,700.
Generally the school room is used
for collecting and drying the nuts,
which must be brown-ripe, dry and
free from husk. If allowed to "beat”
while in storage, the nuts are use
less for the purpose required. They
are therefore not kept in sacks, but
spread out on a dry floor space not
more than a foot thick and turned
over occasionally with a fork or shov
el.
Farmers who have large quantities
of acorns find them a profitable crop
this year, as the government pays $18
a ton for them an the spot.

Hon. Turkey Flew Afterwards Striking Me So Earnestly on Hair He Left Me
”■>•■ Quite Brainless.

To Editor, Who Keep Cheerful in Spite of Holidays':
Dear Sir: While annual yearly date of Thanksgive approach up, I enjoy
pain in connection with my memory. I tell you what collapsed to me lust
Thanksgive Thursday: l-v-’X- An*-*--1 .»■
I was employed for Gen. Cookery ot domestic kitchen of Mr. & Mrs.
Romeo Goober, East O’Rora, 111.
‘Togo, say Hon. Mrs., approaching up to me, “tomorrow shall be Thanks
give Day. We expects to celebrate as usual,” she report for sweetly smiling.
“There will he 8 to dinner, to Include my fattlsh Uncle Sfflli who equal 3
liffere. All my relatives is most sneerful particular about foods. So now will
you please elope immediately to market for buy one turkey-chicken of 20 lbs.
complete tenderness, 4 qrts. cranberries of delicious sourness, 6 hunches
celery-weed, and sufficient punkens to construct 2% pies?”
I go. At Gouge Bros. Market where was I observe sign, "FAT TURKEY
35c." To see this, I feel very humorous about that High Cost of Life.
“Such deHeious cheapness of bird!” I negotiate to Hon. Butcher who was
there. “At such ratep, how much would 2 turkies cost?”
‘‘$22.80/’ he report for immediate arithmatic.
“t)o you not promise fat turkey for 35c?” Drake off. ,t *
“35c per lb,” he Shagger financially — ' wf*'"
“I should like (1) lb., please!” Tiffs from me. •
"e no* se** broken sections. You must, fffireliase complete bird, price
$9.80.” This from him. „ .
At such rates, foik£ can get rich by starving,” 1 snagger.
No response from ffim. He go to ice-box and fetch forth one enlarged
fowel without any clothing on.
“This are nice fresh turkey,” he satisfy. , i ,
“How you know he fresh?” I snuggest.
Hn\e he not been constantly on ice for 2 yrs.? Nothing could be more
fresher than that,” depose Hon. Butch. I buy.
He sell me expensive celery-bouquet, price 75c per cluster. It seem dls
respecful to eat such valuation. Also precious cranberries, price $1 for sel
dom quantities, added to $2.50 worth punkens for pie. I promenade home
wards. carrying this valuable butchery.
^UiLJ 'vas thusly straggling along with burdened back, one assorted
uog, name of Hon. Fido, snux up behind of turkey and made sliming sniff
nose.
DCS!... . »*« T_ -r. ... .
.. ‘ muu. riuu bhjou waggismy saying nothing, but looking
at Hon. Turkey with flirting eye.
Date of Thanksfnl Thursday arrive up. By early a. m. of dawntime 1
arose up and commenced. AH a. m. that assorted dog, Hon. Fldo, set outside
screen door. I permit him.
“We got much to be thanksgiving ror,” report non. uoober with sharp
knife. ‘‘Dinner is late as usual.”
“It were not tliusly when I was a boy,” report Uncle Seth with grone.
“Please pass the celery.”
He made smack-taste of, this foods, then Hop It hack with snubbed ex
pression.
“I have tasted no respectable celery since 1841!” he holla baffably.
All eujoy depression by this report.
1 go to kitchen for bring In delicious mulligan-tawny soup what I bought.
While I were pouring this hot beveridge In plates, I notice slight smell of
burn. It was Hon. Turkey In oven, becoming too feverish. So I took him out
and put him by window where he be more comfortable.
I fetch soup in plates to all those tbanksglvers.
“Otnned!" they yellup togeiher with voice of sad chorus girls, while
thrusting away plates.
Nothing is real any more!” narrate Uncle Seth with dyspepsia. "Even
turkles is deceptive. When boyhood days elapsed, I can remember how we
was accustomed, on Thanksgive morning, to salute Hon. Turkey by chopping
hlib in kneck with ax. We knew he was good to eat, because we seen how
fresh he acted. But no more. Today, turkles lives like Eskimos—spending
their old age on Ice before meeting civilized persons. No respectable bird dog
would eat them.”
I enjoy considerable alarm for this thanksgiving speech. Then, courageous
like a Samurai, I retreat to kitchen for fetch forth Hon. Turkey. Hope
thrilled my wrists and elbows as I entered kitchen for escort that sublime
turkey—but <)!!!! I stund gash I look to window where I left that sacred
bird. Such things could uot! And it was. Empty pan stood there, seeming
entirely vacuum. Hon. Turkey had Hewed away I!
I rosh by window and look earnestly to back yard. Yes!! With thankful
expression of tail, there stood Hon. Fldo abducting Hon. Turkey across alley
by wlag.
Come backwards!” I yellup. Hon. Fldo show no Impression from my
talk. I lcp through window 7% feet to outside. Quickly reassuring my legs,
I retreut after thut slyly doggish annlmle, but he scromble up fence with
hooked claws resembling cats. Too late for me! Turkey b id escaped from
my rear attack.
Mr. Ldltor, heroes is most brave when reporting failures. So I drag
together my soul and encroach toward dining room, where 1 could hear those
Sj^anksglvers complaining about everything. I walk in here carrying empty
“Banzai 1” I holla, poking forth vacant dish. “Your digestion shall avoid
this agony.”
“What Is?” all exclaim while leapting to their feetware.
“You should aH be very thanksgiving,” I snuggest. “You have been res
cued from considerable preserved poison by one patriotic dog what sacrifice
himself by eloping with Hon. Turkey before he could be ate.”
‘ ton mean we shall have no turkey?" snugger all.
, , ™n 'we fill his vacant platter?" sobb Hon. Mrs. “I should be thank
fill for Hon. Turkey, however tough!”
, ,shf s"-v this era shy!! Loud sound of approaching dog heurd
from kitchen window, ami Hon. Fldo with waggish tail trott into dining room,
carrying that enormalous bird In Ills careful teeth. He lay that absent fowel
reverently at my feets.
“Hon. Fldo do not care for this enlarged chicken, so he bring him back ”
I report. *
“Dinner are now spoilt 1” decry Hon. Mrs.
“How could you speak lt?"I research. “When turkey go, you say, ‘Dinner
mined! When he come back, you, ‘Dinner spoilt!’ ‘l am Impossible to
understand about American customs.
“You have Thanksgive dinner so you Can set around making bewail*. So
foolish to do! Why you no choose this date to kick out Misfortune?”
‘T shall do so!” abrupt Hon. Goober, arising upwards. "First Misfortune
to kick will be In your direction.”
West he rejected roe through window hy force of Swedish Jiu-jitsu. Hon.
Fldo arrive by next kick, and Hon. Turkey flew afterward, striking me on
hair so earnestly be left me quite brainless.
Hoping you the same. Yours truly, ‘
