Recently German farmer residing
in Central Iowa was interviewed by

and it was such telling and forcible
indictment OF the mail orderhabit that

true here as elsewhere, SO after read

who may be laboring under the delu-
siCn that it is the finest thing on
earth to send away from home for
every-thing you possibly can, and get
your money out of the country for
ALL time, so that it will not poster
yea any longer.
This is the way the German farmer
views the mail order business:
Hans Garbus, a German farmer Of
Iowa. has discovered that the bene-
fits which appear on the surface as
to the mail order plan some
times spells disaster and has written
"a very interesting story of his views
in certain newspaper. Here is a
part of his story:
We farmers need awakening to the
fact that we have unmistakably reach

The president of the club in a state

1.-The Germans of the United States
were among the first to go to war
when Lincoln called our people to
arms. Our race always honored our
great Americans with pictures, in
their club rooms, but Roosevelt has
gone too far in his villification Of the
German-American character. We did
not see fit to keep his picture in our
galleries. Why should Roosevelt
try to embitter our race and create
tdiscord between the German elements
and other nationalities? The time
may come when our country may need
