IN GERMANY
Domestic conditions in Germany is
a problem that ia perhaps more seri
ous than the ordinary person can well
imagine. It is reported that many
German citizens of this country are
sending many of the necessities of life
to relatives and friends in Germany.
Carl Midlestdat of near Crabtree waa
an Albany visitor today and state
that he received a letter last week
from his nephew who resides on the
old home fa,rm of his youth in on? of
the best sections of Germany and
gives some interesting . facts. Re
states, "that nobody has starved but
nearly." One pound of meat per week
for seven persons ia the meat ration,
ordinary cows are aelling for $1000
each and average horses from $300
to $500 apiece. A suit of men's cloth
ing cost from $300 to $400 and that
half paper.
The letter states that the civilian
population are much disappointed be
cause the United States failed to car
ry out the 14 points of the Armistice
as the German population felt that tha
United States. was a friend to the op
pressed, they laid down their arms
with that in view.
Tha Indemnity to be paid to France
is being paid in various ways. The
writer states that he had 24 cows on
his farm when the War closed and at
a later date 12 of the cows were taken
from him to be aent to Franca. In
other words a section of the country
is called on to aupply a certain amount
of anything needed tn Franca it ia
confiscated and taken. ' '
CORN HARVEST BAD
The early cold weather thia year baa
frosa the corn which waa not gathered
and tha farmers of North Albany re
port a hard time to dry the corn. The
cob of the corn waa froze enough to
causa It to decay which spoils the corn
any many of tha farmers ' will no
doubt suffer heavy loss. Seed Corn
for next year will be in demand nt a
big price ia tha opinion of a successful
grower who gave hia views on the ait
nation thia morning.
