THE DAILY CAPITAL JOURNAL Is the only newspaper in Salem whose circulation is guaranteed by the Audit Bureau Of Circulations NOW THEY CAN PAY. A Cornell professor has an ingenious suggestion for enabling the German people to meet their war obligations. He assumes as a matter of course they must pay for all the'damage they have done in other countries. But how? Germany's own war debt amounts to probably half of her national wealth. This fact would seem to preclude the payment of the desired billions to Belgium, France and other wronged nations. But as the professor points out, that debt is almost entirely owed by Germans to Germans It is a matter of domestic bookkeeping. . It does not much affect the actual, material wealth of the country. It might therefore be wiped out by the simple method of repudia tion, leaving a clean slate on which to write the post bellum indebtedness of Germany to her self-made enemies. This debt, which the peace terms will impose, might be taken care of, the professor thinks, by the following plan: The big fortunes and the landed, estates of Ger many could be seized by the new government. The money and securities so obtained could be used directly to help pay the indemnities. The estates could be broken up and sold to the people on long-term payments, after the man ner of the Irish land distribution, except that in this case the money would go mostly not to the former owners, but to the allied countries. The idea is submitted to the German people for what it is worth. It seems drastic, but there is at least a measure of poetic justice in it, inasmuch as the big capital ists and junker land-owners were primarily responsible for the war which made Germany liable to these indemnities. The authorized statement comes from Washington that France is ready to spend $10,000,000 in the United States for goods of all kinds, manufactured and in the raw state. French economists and government officials estimate that no less than that will suffice to rebuild the devastated sections of their country, replenish their de pleted stocks of all sorts and enable their industries to re sume normal production. - That is about twice the amount of our total export trade in these abnormal war years. The needs of France alone would suffice to keep all the factories and work shops in the United States busy for many months to come. And Frajice is only one' of many countries that need our goods and insist on having them. As for domestic markets, their demand, too, will be greater than ever as soon as the readjustment of peace is well started. The Building Age of New York estimated that 700,000 new residences are needed right now in this country. That is only one item in the long list of unpre cedented economic needs that must be supplied. What thinking man c.an read facts like these, and ex pect dull times? "Many are the afflictions of the righteous", but they are nothing compared with the afflictions of the wicked. The plight of the Hohenzollern family is a good example in point. We always thought that the sleeve of the old! red flannel undershirt was tied about the throat to cure it, Bu No! One of these young doctors tells us it is to warn other folks to keep away. Ho wwonderful are the ad' vances of medical science. The king business is getting so risky that even so modest and harmless a monarch as King George must be developing a habit of reaching up furtively to feel wheth er his crown is on straight. The supply of loganberry juice is jikely to fall short before it can be replenished next fail, the delightful Salem beverage is being drunk the world around. RIPPLING RHYMES By Walt Mason NO HELP. In olden times I paid out mon to have my chores and errands done. I paid one man to mow the grass and hoe the growing garden sass; another came to prime the pump and take the tin cans to the dump; I paid a man to wash my car, and dope the kitchen roof with tar. While there were men who worked for hire, I just sat 'round and pawed my lyre, with hands as white as driven snow no sort of labor did they know. And I had last my appe tite, and couldn't get much sleep at night, and I was fat and short of breath and looking for an early death. Then all the fellows went to scrap and shoo the Prussian off the map, and none could come to do a chore or run an er rand any more. I was obliged to shake my sloth, and, as a toiler, cut a swath. I milked the cow and groomed the hen, and mowed the lawn, like other men; and when my car was out of whack I lay beneath it, on my back, and tried to remedy the wreck, while slimy grease ran down my neck I painted fences green and blue, and found a hundred things to do; and now my health is out of sight, and when I go to bed at night my slumber is so calm and deep it shows new curves in balmy sleep, and savants come from miles away to see just how I hit the hay. Three women cook by day and night to cater to my appetite. AJ lot of old fat boys like me are learning wrinkles two or three. After all there is nothing like a world-war to stim ulate a healthy interest in geography. . THE WIFE By. Jane Phelps. BRIAN SPENDS THE EVENING WITH MB. AND MBS. KOBEBTS CHAPTER XC More than ever a martyr, did Brian feel as ho ate his solitary dinner; more than usual did he blame Ruth for leaving him. Rachel hud prepared a doliciotis dinner, and he ate heartily, but even the food did not causo him to ceaso "grouching," and he often mumbled to himself between mouthfuls. He had bocn a fool to foci at all conscience stricken ibecnuso of Mollie King, when Ruth' was spending - her timo with that man Handel that was the way he thought of Ruth ' work filled days as being spent with Man del. He wouldn't ait alone all the ev ening, not if he knew it! After ho had finished his dinner he read Hie paper for a while, then he crossed the hull and rapped at Roberts noor. Tory were at homo and greeted him warmly. They would play a three handed giimo of bridge if he liked. He ilingly agreed; anything to ipass the time. Brian felt a little ashamed that he had not called before and tried to atone by being as entertaining as pos sible. And when he put himself .out he really whs a most agreenMe companion 'Hnw nice Mr. Hackett was to night," Clara Roberts said when ho ad left them. "I like him ever go much. " "tio do tl but sonvowav he doesn't strike me like a fellow with any great amount of pep. He's too cany going to be much of a success, I'm afraid" "Just because you drive yourself to lentk, dear, you must not be critical of those who don't. You see he h.is a lever wife who can earn more than most men, while you have a little goose who can only cook and Keep house for you." " Hint all 1 want you to dot And I linve a sneaking idea that Hackett wouldn't care, if it was nil she did. He's a queer fellow in some way. He's egotistical to an extreme in some things, yet, unlike most egotists, not disagreeably so. I have an idea that he cures very little for money or lux uries. He was one of the Ureeiiwicn village et before ho married, I un derstand, and they pride themselves on their disregard of such things."

Michigan troops, which led the way into" Luxemburg, received an ovation along every foot of their inarch. They entered fifteen Tillages, every one dee- orated with home made American flags In German-Lorraine the Americans were welcomed by the inhabitant o French extraction. Those of German descent looked on sullenly. The im portant town of Arlon, in Belgium, re membering America's food and relief work throughout the war,- gave our troops an extraordinarily warm recep tion. The twonspeople stooa bcaita the roads all day, cheering themselves hoarse. It was not uncommon to see doughboys carrying one or two children with chattering Frenofc or German girls and boys walking alongside. , The Germans sent some staSf officers to army headquarters to arrange fr handing over the material at Losgtroa. These consisted of 35 locomotive, i guns and thousands of rifles. The roax near the Luxemburg frontier are lined with surrendered cannon.

' ' It was fortunate that Brian could not hear this conversation. It was too much like the thoughts surging thru his bruin after he returned to his loue ly apartment. "She's a dear!" ho muttered, refer ring to Mrs. Roberts. "He's a lueky dog to have a wife who is satisfied with what 'he can givo her. I'm sure they are comfortable, even if they dou't havo things artistic," the last word ho emphasized bi'ttcrly. It was early and he sat down to read. He was in no mood to go to bed, and hail no notion to lie awake an other night. Ho would read until he was sleepy. Ho became very much interested in a magazine article he was reading, con cerning the war in Europe. For over two years the nations on the other side of the world had been fighting; and from the very first ho ha 1 been ab sorbed by the news. Ho often thought that, had he not been married, ho would have volunteered with the Ca nadians, altho he never had mentioned it even to Ruth. Ho had been so engrossed that lie started when the insietant shrilling of tho telephone warned him that it must have 'been ringing some time. "Hello!" ho said as ho took off the receiver, wondering, who could bo call ing him at eleven o'clock at night. Tho clock had just struck the hour. "Hello Brian 1" it was Mollie King's gay voice, "Were you asleep! I have been ringing for the longest time." "No, I wag reading!" "Reading! lend me the book. I'd like 4o get hold of something that would make me dof to the telephone. Say, Brian, what V the matter I ex pected you for dinner." "I had some business to attend to see you tomorrow night." "Must have been awfully import ant! I called you threo or four times. The servant answered, but 1 couldn't make anything from her talk. Sure you weren't out with some ether girlf" "Bure, Molhel you know better than to say such a thing. There's no one tout you and Ruth." "There id better not be! I'd be hor ribly jealous," she laughed, then said good night after cautioning hiut not to forget to come to aer the next night. . (To be continued) What Del les- Meat - and live-Stock Prices ? Some stock men still think that Swift t Company and other big packers can pay as little for live-stock as they wish. Some consumers are still led to believe that: the packers can charge as much for dressed meat as they wish.. This is not true. These prices are fixed by a law of human nature as old as human nature itself the law of supply and demand. v When more people want meat than there is meat to be- had, the scramble along the line to get it for them sends prices up. When there is more meat than there are people who want it, the scramble all along the line to get rid of it within a few days, while it is still fresh, sends prices down. When prices of meat go up, Swift & Company not only can pay the producer more, but Acs to pay him more, or some other packer will. Similarly, when prices recede all down the line Swift & Company cannot continue to pay. the producer the same prices as before, and still remain in the packing business.. All the packer can do is to keep the expense of turning stock intor meat at a minimum, so that, the consumer can get as much as possible for his money, and the producer as much as possible for: his ' live-stock. ; ' , Thanks to its splendid plants, modern methods) branch houses, car routes, fleet of refrigerator cars, experience and organization Swift & Company is able to pay for. live cattle 90 per cent of what it receives for beef and by-products, and to cover expense of production and distribution, as well as its profit (a smalr. fraction of a. cent per pound), out of the other 10 per cent .
