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

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."
"But don't you thing he is anvbi-

AMERICAN ARMY
(Continued from page one)
Troops Receive Oration.
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.

"Not particularly. I imagine Mrs.
Hackett is for him ho said, you know
that she was pleased when he took up
typing so that he could be independ-.
cnt of office help. They arj separated
so much that many women would have
found fault to haVo him take his ev

"I Wiink so too! She is very clever.
1 like her so much. I only wish I could

" "You do help me dear. I guess 1
am not very different from most men
when I say I prefer to work a little
harder ami have you- right where you
are, and what you are: my little house
Keeper in my home. ' '
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.

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 .
