Nuremberg's Municipal Markets.

Nuremberg's Municipal Markets.
From Consular Report
a saving of s2,SO0.00O to the citizens
of Nuremberg resulted from that
German municipalities sale of meat
at cost prices during 1913 Statistics
recently made public show that the
fifteen retail shops maintained by the
city sold only 4.3 per cent of the
ment locally consumed last year.
Thus about 1900 of Nuremberg's
35S,500 populations or, in round
figures, 1000 families, enjoyed the
benefits of the city's sales of meat at
cost prices, The city statistical office,
taking the lowest prices prevailing at
regular meat markets. finds that on a
average the city sold beef at least
four cents, pork three cents and
veal two and one-half cents per
pound cheaper than the regular
butchers, the average for all meal is
being three and one-half cents per
pound cheaper As the consumption
of meat in Nuremberg was 10 pounds
per capita. this means direct saving
through the city meat markets of
something more than $4,000.
The facts are that the saving to the
people of Nuremberg was many times
greater than that sum, and that not
only the small fraction OF the people
who patronized municipal meat mar
kets. but the entire population de
rived material benefit from the city's
action. The differences In price be-
tween the regular meat markets and
the city markets were at least double
the minimum figures, which the sta
tistical office has used, ut the
main benefit was the keeping
down of prices in the regular
shops to the limits of normal profits.
The statistical office does not com
NIT itself on this feature of the city's
activities; but taking into account the
sudden drop In the prices of meats
of all kinds when the municipal
markets were opened in the fall of
1912, it is naming a minimum figure
to say that all meat sold in Nurem-
berg in 1913 was sold for Eve cents
per pound less than If the municipal
markets had not existed. Thus, in
stead Of on'y 1000 families saving
about $4,000 by reason of the com
petition of the municipal markets,
the 5000 families of Nuremberg
actually saved about s2,300.000 on
their meat bills during the year be-
cause the city has gone into the busi-
ness of retailing meat on its own &C.

An UnspoIled Country.

From the Wide World Magazine.
The traveller who is tired of conven-
tional journeys and who is anxious to
visit an "unspoilt'' country where he
can enjoy the comforts of civilization
and at the same time taste some OF
the thrills and excitement attendant
upon encounters with unsubdued
savage tribes should certainly make a
trip to Formosa, that wonderful ISL
and lying OFF the coast of China which
passed into the possession of Japan
in 1895.
Here, along the eastern coast, he
will find prosperous towns, with fine
harbors and wharves, spacious streets
and magnificent residences, schools
and churches, electric light and
ample water supply-all the luxuries,
In fact, OF a European city. He can
journey comfortably by train from
one place to another, passing through
vast tea gardens and rice fields.
Everything 8 civilized, orderly and
safe. Yet only a few miles inland,
among the mountains and forests,
dwell fierce, unconquered tribes,
whose chief aim and ambition in life
is to gather human heads.

Oh, every year hath its winter,
And every year hath its rain;
But day is always coming
When the birds go north again.
When new leaves swell in the forest
And grass springs green the plain,
And the alder's veins turn crimson,
And the birds go north again.
Oh, every heart hath its sorrow,
And every heart hath its pain;
But day is always coming
When the birds go north again
Tis the sweetest thing to remember,
If courage be on the wane,
When the cold, dark days are over
Why the birds go north again.

The obtrusive Parsley.

From the indianapolis News
As an article of human sustenance
parsley is not Of great value, but, for
all that, it is too good a thing to
waste For instance, 1t is an import
ant ingredient In omelette aux fines
herbes, and If you have ever eaten
such an omelet constructed by an ex-
pert you know that the existence
Of parsley is entirely justified. It
also adds fine SAVIOR to certain soups
and meat sauces: but its principal
function is not SO utilltarian. In
fact IL isn't unitarian at all. 1t is
supposed to be a decoration, but In
reality 1t ia nuisance. In most
restaurants nowadays 1t is pretty
hard to get q dish of anything that
ism sweet without a sprlg Of parsley
draped over ii somewhere. 1t Is a
pleasing enough bit of greeenery, to
be sure, but it Is not good to eat-at
least, most people don't care much
for it au naturel-and 1t is generally
In the way. If you have the pres
ence OF mind you can daintily lift it
to some other dish that Is idle, or
for that matter surreptitiously drop
1t on the floor, but you nearly al
ways forget to do that, and 1t is
knocked about hither and thither on
the plate until 1t ls we'll creased with
gravy, when nearly always some ac-
cidental stroke of the knife or fork
fiips 1t onto the tablecloth, where it
leaves distinct smear, much to your
embarrassment and the annoyance of
the restaurant management.

NOT A QUESTION OF
JOBS, BUT OF MEN
With Big Crops and Revival of
Iron Trade SeCy. J ilSOn
Sees Plenty of Work.

WASHINGTON, June 12.-Accord-
ing to Secy. Of Labor Wilson there
will soon be more jobs than men in
the United States. His prophecy Is
based on the bumper wheat crop. re-
,'ival Of the iron trade. with the con-
sequent stimulation of mining and
other associated industries and con-
tinued activity in the textile business.
Secy. Wilson states that specific re-
quests for more than $4,000 men to
help harvest the big wheat crop has
already reached the department OF Ia
Dor Missouri alone has asked for
80. 600 men. How to get them west
is the problem. AS a solution Secy.
Wilson Is planning TO negotiate with
the railroads TO arrange special eX-
cursions TO the wheat belt from east
ern cities where labor might be OBJ
tanned.
Such plan would give thousands
of men in the east a chance 10 get a
rural vacation and make money while
taking il, said Secy. Wilson. 1T
lem of how to get men to harvest the
wheat"
The western farmers are offering
from 50 to $3.50 a day and board for
harvest helpers.
With the outlook in sight 1 feel
safe in predicting that within q month
ii will no longer be a question Of jobs
but a question of how TO get men
enough to fill them" said Wilson.

Taggart of that state today during an
optimistic business speech in the house
declared:
There is nothing the matter with
Kansas. She is all right. Wherever
you see the thousands in the eastern
states standing before the score boards

whenever you see the masses grabbing
for the newspapers it is Fred Funston

BERTRAND WILL SEE
PROSPERITY RETURN
Speaker Tells of Curse Which
Has Been Partly Carried Out
on Settlement.

That Bertrand is destined TO again
be the prosperous little city that it
once was, was a statement made by
Miss Sarah Machim at the social CEN
ter meeting held Thursday night in
the village school house. Besides
Miss Machim who years ago was a
school teacher in Bertrand, Judge Or
vile Coolidge Of Niles and Judge
Timothy Howard of this city were
speakers. The old history of the viii
lage formed the chief topic of the
evening.
That the once flourishing little VIII
lage was destined to be wiped off the
map was the statement made by Miss
Machim who traced the history of the
town from the time it was founded by
Spaniards down to the present time.
She related a most interesting legend
connected with the destruction of the
place.
While the town was at its height of
prosperity, with the venerable Alfred
man, she said, a certain priest visited
the Bertrand home asking for lodging
and food. 1t seems these necessities
were refused him and he cursed the
village, prophesing that Bertrand
himself would live TO see the city dis
banded and entirely wiped away. He
likewise propheSied that after the pos
terity of Mr.. Bertrand were extinct the
village should again spring up and
prosper.
Miss Machim pointed out that al
ready a large part of the prophecy
has been fulfilled and declared that
through the social center club which
had been built up since the death of
the last BertrandS two years ago, that
the rebuilding is being started. She
pointed out that already building pro-
jectS are being contemplated and that
the social center is taking steps to-
ward securing better streets.
Judge Howard traced the history Of
the village pointing TO the noted land
marks of the place. Judge Coolidge
showed how the city had been built
up on the banks of the river as a nat
ural trading post and asserted that it
was at one time considered the most
important post in this vicinity as be-
sides being on the river il was To-
Gated at the crossing of the Chicago
