Food In Germany.


Philadelphia Record.
The State department is in receipt of n
report from United States Consul Smith
at Mayence in regard to the present
prices Of living in Germany. Prices of
meat, he saws. have become enormously
high, especially since the prohibition of
pork imports from Russia and Austria
last summer, and people murmur much
in consequence of the CxtOr ions to which
they are subjected. Prices of -four and
meal have also considerably increased,
while by reason of the extensive miners
strike there has been rise i'll the cost of
coal. As winter approaches the dear
ness of meat, bread and fuel is keenly felt
by the poor working people. Potatoes,
of which fortunately the crop is abun-
dant, will constitute their chief article OF
nourishment during the winter. While
there is a marked improvement in the
industrial situation in Germany, its ad-
vantages are completely neutralized to
workingmen by the extreme cost of the
neressarics Of living.
This would be an exceedingly favorable
time tor an anti-Corn law agitation in
Germany, such as that inauguratcd by
Golden and Bright in England fifty years
ago. But the Germans are more patient
people than the English. while they are
by no means as well skilled as are the
English in the use of weapons of political
defense against class legislation.

KANSAS FARMING.

Acres in That state.
Mr. X. Il. Sorrells, whose return from
Kansas we mentioned yesterday, was
much impressed with the agricultural
greatness of that State. Well he might
be, if the statistics he gives us, taken
from sworn statements, are a fair pre-
sentation of the whole. -.
Mr.. G. NJ. Goff, of Harper county, Kan
sas, made oath to the following state
ment: He owns 1900 acres of land,
and had 200 in cultivation during this
crop year. He sowed 400 acres in wheat,
from which he rear.d 10000 bushels, an
average of twenty-five bushels to the
acre $50 acres in corn, from which he
gathered $4,000 bushels, or an average
OF fifty bushels; seventy-ive acres in
oats, and threshcd out 5000 bushels.
an average of 40 bushels, and thirty
acres in the same grain which made an
average of torty-tour bushels or ,32O
bushels. Altogether he had LOSS acres
in grain and harvested 1890 bushels.
Harper county this year averaged to the
acre forty bushels Of corn, twenty-seven
of wheat and forty of oats. Per contra
yellow corn was worth only fifteen cents
a bushel, white corn sixteen cents, oats
ten to twelve cents, and wheat sixty
cents. This and the winter winds, of
which Mr.. Sorrels SO early in the season
had occasion to complain, the intense
cold and the scarcity of fuel are sub
stantiaI set offs to the marvellous fer
tilitv Of the soil.

Then he continued: "My dear friends, a
noble man has departed" The sexton
tugged him by hisgown and whispered,
"a woman" "A noble man has gone
from earth" "A woman, woman"
was again whispered. "a noble man
has passed to life eternal" "A woman!"
was finally shouted in his car, and all
went well atterward, but the solemnity
was gone from that funeral.

PIunderInG American Consumers
Philadelphia Record.

IN recently reported interview Mr..
John Jarrett. Consul to Birmingham,
said that he found in England very
little that is cheaper than articles of the
same kind in America except salt and
sugar" Mr.. Jarrett then proceeded to
enumeratc clothing hardware, furniture
and other articles-all of which hc found
to be as dear IL England as in this
country.
Why, then, are the .IarrettS and the
rest of the tariff lobbyists so loudly
clamoring that reduction of the high
wall of protection would subject Ameri-
can manufacturers to Il ruinous British
competition?
The answer is simple enough. The
tariff wall is not maintained for the
protection of American manufacturers
but in order to rob American CONSUMERS
Andrew Carnegie and the rest of the
Structural Iron Ring for example, could
not extort upward of 500 a ton for iron
beams if the outrageous duty OF $2S a
ton on this article should be SubStanti-
ally reduced.
A reduction of this duty TO SO ton
as proposed by the Mills Tariff bill
would not have denied protection to the
manufacturers of structural iron but 1t
would have lessened the margin Of
plunder inflicted upon American house
builders.

A Reporter has the Matter Most
Pleasantly Demonstrated.

A reporter of this paper was passing
down Main street on yesterday, much
distressed for want of a local. and with
brow distraught, pondering the above
question, HAS THE CITIZEN any influ-
ence?" Most varied opinions had been
expressed, and the poor local was at his
wit S end to decide how the matter really
stood.
In the midst of his gloom-and to speak
a la Erish--in the height of his depression,
he passed the office of the street rail
way company, and noticed how busy
their laborious officers seemed to be.
Wishing to give them some sound advice
on the danger of overwork, he stepped i'll,
torgetful for the moment of his own trou-
bled thoughts, when, as usual, his well
known unselhshness produced its own re-
ward. He entered, bent upon doing good
to Others, and he found those others
ready to divide good things with him.
nor only that, but he also found the an
swer to the question, HAS THE CITIZEN
any inhuence?"
Only few days ago he had suggested
that other ladies should follow an excel
lent example that had been set them, and
behold now the luxurious tables Of the
company were once more laden almost to
the breaking point with such refresh
ments. Well, the reporter must be can
did and say that they were much better
than those which on Tuesday seemed to
him absolutely nectar and ambrosia, fit
for the gods. Yes, indeed, and at this
moment the reporter has recovered his
spirits; his sad countenance has disap-
peared, and if this sort of thing is re-
peated every day or two, he will no
longer doubt that THE CITIZEN has in
huence." Ladies, this is aconsummation
devoutly to be wished; so please keep up

on the 9Th of July has been observed to
have split up into three pieces. This is
a very rare phenomenon, and great in
tcrest is taken in the occurrence by the
astronomical world. In the case OF
Biclas comet, which was a regular comet
with known period of revolution, a
division was noticed in January, 1916,
and on the next return, in 1852, the

and have not been seen since that. The

The contract for a $4,000 Baptist
church has just been awarded to
Woltz Bros. The present house OF
worship owned by the Baptists comes
far short of accommodating the con-
gregation and the Sunday school:
Rev. O. F. Hippo has just entered
upon his fourth year as pastor of the
church. Three years ago the church
numbered LOG members; now the
membership is over 300. The church
has declared itself independent OF the
State Mission board, and in addition
has increased the pastors salary
