A NEW AIR-ROAD.

Over in Germany they arc perfect
ing a new way to separate the Amcri-
can people from their money this
summer. So far as that bare fact is
concerned, 1t is no novelty. Those
good foreigners who infest the track
of travel live for six months Of the
year by neecing the travelling public
and spend the other SIN months In
contriving new devices to do the
trick a little better the next time
They generally succeed, whether by
raising the price of a bed and jug
Of water in a cheap pension. or BY
screwing up the price Of admission to
some museum where a few moldy
relics and a few battered old pictures
are marked with one star in the guide
book.
The new trick, however. will GER
tainly work better than any OF the old
ones. It is something entirely new,
something that Will not fall to draw a
thrill of delight from every blase
Notwithstanding that will not fail

Mrs. Rosenthal was married when
nine years old and when her husband
was 12, the wedding being celebrated
on the feast of Purim, 100 years ago.
The early marriage was solemnized
in order that the boy husband might,
escape compulsory service in the
army. II was during the reign OF
Nicholas l.. when for ten years there
existed a law by which the sons OF
Jewish parents were taken when chill,
dren and reared for the army. This
law did not obtain in the case of a

thai took a child bride to escape II.
Three years later he provided a home
for his bride and she was IS years OF
age when her first child was born.

a profession. Thousands OF pickers
are needed to handle the berry crop OF
southwestern Missouri. Some of these
start in southern Texas and follow the

harvesters.

from neighboring counties or from
other sections Of the same county or
from near by cities. In many Instances

trade and the general stimulus given
to business. The writer says:
In order to show price relations. SO
commodities sold at wholesale and
quoted by Bradstreet's are used. Study
of these data shows that wheat Sep

23 per cent. and "a per cent re-

Barley this year cost 16 cents, or
80 per cent bushel more than II did
