What impressed you most during
your recent visit to Germany" was
asked by an Historian reporter of Jno.
Hahn, yesterday afternoon. "The
fact" said he, ''that so many women
were at work in the fields" He told
of women walking three miles, work
ing from dawn to dark, and then
walking back,-for 16 cents day.
He said one can get a fine meal in
Berlin for 8 cents. The thing is to
get the 8 cents. When he got to Ber-
lin he found a splendid procession,
the city all in holiday attire and
everything fixed up all same Fourth
of July. At first he thought maybe
it was in honor of his arrival, but
later found that all the hurrah was
over the arrival that morning Of an
other sovereign-the king of Italy.

Some Remarks About Advertising.

There are more worthy charities for
the money Of Salem's business men
than rump newspapers and blackmail-
ing publications, and they know it,
and act accordingly. Advertising is
an investment. 1t is either a good
investment, an Indifferent one, or a
poor one. If it is in sheet without
circulation or character, or in a sheet
that does not reach the constituency
OF the advertiser, it is worse than
money thrown away; if it is in sheet
Of meagre circulation, poorly gotten
up and printed, it is an Indifferent in
vestment, even at low price; but if it
is in a newspaper of acknowledged
circulation and influence, that is well
made up and printed, and that circu-
lates amongst the people the adver-
tiser desires to reach, it is a good in
vestment at a reasonable price. No
good business man can afford to ig-
more this fact, and no progressive bus
mess man in Salem does ignore it,
