friends wore good clothes, had
money jingling in their pockets,
went to the movies. belonged to

the city man pays dearly for these
Injuries.
I'VE came to know" he said.
THAT it was just ss hard for the
city man to get up at seven o'clock
10 the morning as it was for the
country man to get up at five. Why
30? Because he must not relax; he
is ever on duty. He must smile at
this person aud that person. He dares
not notice snyone's pecuiarities, or
oddities. or unressonsbleness. The
result is he must find his relaxation
in the evening; therefore the family
rarely gets to bed before ten or elev-
en- o'clock. and seven in the morning
finds him just as sleepy and far less
refreshed than five found him on
the farm.

body else every day in the year. ex-

Germany DenOunces
Reports of Famine
AS Pure Inventions

BERLIN, Nov. 21-(By Wireless to
Tuckerton, N. J.)-Thc semi-official
Overseas News agency gave out today
a statement designed to set forth actual
conditions in Germany and controvert
what it terms false reports spread by the
enemies of this country. The statement
follows:
For some time now the English and
French press and wireless services have
been hard at work attempting to counter
balance the pad impression made on the
whole world by the military and diplo-
matte defeats suffered by these nations
in the Balkans. For this purpose wild
stories about famine in Germany have
teen invented.
Usually the stories are something like
this; Mobs running through the otreets
shrieking and pmashing chop windows;
regiments arrive; they fire at the crowd
and then mutiny. These gloomy reports
of course are clumsy inventions. AS a
matter of fact nowhere in Germany is
there lack Of public order, and II Ire
land and India had always had as much
to eat as Germany now has, the English
would be less dislixed in these parts Of
the world
