Berlin. Nov. Two things strike
one on entering Germany. The first
is the air of smiling assurance with
which one is greeted on every hand.
Each round German face wears a
smile. Each German shakes hands
warmly. Pretty soon he will ask:
Aren't you surprised to fnd every
thing is perfectly normal in spite of
the war;"
Not Normal at All.
The second thing one notices is
that nothing is normal at all. That
deep wrinkle when the German
finds himself alone. The truth is
that he Is sTwhistling to keep his c0ur-
age UP, and, German-like. Is whist
ling in perfect time and tune. Before
the conversation ends he Is apt to
sound note Of uncertainty:
'.How long do you think the war
will last?"
Everybody Has Suffered.
When. say that things are bad
very, very .bad-in Germany do not
refer at all to the Anal issue Of the
war: That is on the knees Of the
mans may win or they may lose.
am not prophet enough to say with
certainty. But it is perfectly obvious
that every little shopkeeper and
every manufacturer and every bank
er-almost every servant-has suf-
fered in his pocket. That loss will
grow at an increasing ratio with
every week Of war.
Lights Brightest Of Europe.
Berlin's street lights are the bright
est lights In Europe. An excellent
performance IL given at the Imperial
opera house every night. Several Of
the theaters are open. The restau-
rants are comfortably filled - not
crowded - every evening. Wherexer
one turns ones eyes,. In opera or the
ater or restaurant, one sees the
greenish-gray Of the German uni
form. There are no "for rent" signs
ON the business thoroughfares. One
hears = sdoxen times day the ex-
cellent music Of Z military band. Re-
tail prices have not been increased IN
any important item. At afst one gets
the impression Of liveliness almost
OF gaiety., All trains run on time. But
no business II being done.
s'Suppose the war alaatD Q year," I
replied 10 the inevitable question one
day. Tie German buaneas man b.
came painfully .

ROBBERY AT. JACKSON.

Professional burglars entered
the store of D. M. Pipes on Tues
day night and with a powerful
explosive blew open the door of
the valuable safe within his Of
flee, securing about $4,000 in
family money, and valuable jew
elry kept within, leaving silver
|plate untouched. The cash reg
lister, which was left open, was
also rihed. The explosion was
heard by several whose homes
were near, but no alarm was felt
as to the noise which was much
muffied. The robbery must have
occurred near midnight and was
doubtless perpetrated by two
strangers who were seen in the
town and vicinity in the after
noon. The same parties opened
the store of F. Vresinski and
robbed his cash drawer of four
dollars. Owing to the length of
time which elapsed between the
robbery and the discovery, little
hope of recovering the valuables
is entertained. The safe is a
complete wreck.-Jackson Rec

There is no special display as
American newspapers have, SO
that each advertisement stands
out in different type with an in
dividuality and distinctiveness
that commands attention, but the
only display is putting large
capital on important words, and
paragraphing in pyramids. The
ads give the page a peculiarly

PRAISES LOCAL HIGH SCHOOL.

State Supt. Thos. H. Harris, has
written Mr.. w. S. Bliss, principal of
Julius Freyhan high school concerning
the recent visit of inspection made by
Mr.. John Commit. The report is graf
flying to all concerned.
Mr.. Commit says that he finds at the
high school an excellent faculty-and
well disciplined and Well-taught pupils,
who seem to take an interest in their
work. He finds good library. I'm
.provements suggested are the oiling
of the floors, and more tools for the
manual training class.
There is TO doubt that the oiling of
the floors would contribute greatly to
the comfort and health of the pupils,
as the dust is found to be very disa.
|greeable, as well as actually harmful
to weak throats. The Principal says
that there is no lack of tools, but Mr.
Commit thought so, because he failed
to see them.
The good library" caused a smile
as this feature of school equipment
was much scored by former high
school inspector, Mr.. Leo Favrot. Only
a few more books have been added
since, but Mr. Commit probably noted
increased periodical reading matter in
all the rooms.
