and combinations and bad legislation, and support honest leaders
and beneficial measures. We are confident that our readers will
congratulate us on our being able to make this splendid and
attractive clubbing offer.

German Paper Tells of Hardship nf
Soldier's Family. . ,
The Committee on Public Informs
WITH
! tion has made the following transla
tion of a story appearing in the Octo
ber 15, 1917, issue of. the Lelpslger
Volkszeitung: .
"A sample of the fashion after
which bloated landlords treat the
wives of soldiers has been brought to
our attention from tipper Langenau
in Silesia. One of the hired men of
Dr. Mueller's agricultural estate has
been for a long time atthe front. His
wife, who had worked along-side her
husband before the war after the us
ual custom, remained in the ranks of
the field hands and accordingly re
tained her farm cottage. October 1
this woman got the following letter:
" 'The undersigned bailiff of the
estate hereby gives you notice as of
this date to the field service for Janu
ary 1, 1918. On that day you are to
give up your house. The work which
you are doing on the farm does not
compensate the farm for the loss
which accrues to it through the con
tinued support of your family. Look
out for yourself away from this farm,
your house is needed for other use.'
"The woman communicated the
notice to her husband with these
words: 'I must tell you my distress,
Boon shall not be able to see the pa
per for my tears. What shall I do?
Winter is at the door and the cottage
is full of little children.'
' "Thus the bailiff ot the estate of a
bloated landlord turns a family with
eight children out of doors in wid-
wlnter while the man is at the front.
Comment takes care ot Itself."

of the city boys were rejected, as
against 27,96 per cent of the country
