GERMANS POOR HUNGRY, THOUGH
 NOT SUFFERING
Almost Forget Existence of
 Many Kinds of Food, Once Plentiful.

Stockholm, Sweden, Sept. 30.-One thing after another has disappeared so gradually from German markets since the war began that the very existence of certain luxuries and some things that were once considered ne- cessities, has been forgotten. It was the experience of a correspondent of The Associated Press who had been in Berlin since the war began, and for many years before, to find, upon his arrival in Stockholm, the butcher-shop and grocery windows filled with food stuffs he had seen scarcely sugges- ton of in Germany for many months. and the restaurant bills of fare also served as pleasant reminders of ante bellum days when the German restau- rants, as much as those of any coun- try, were prepared to supply a great variety of foods.
 Germany is not starving. and there is no fear there that it will, but the people are doing without far more things than they realize, having be- come so gradually accustomed to the loss or curtailment of certain edibles. Bacon-which the correstondent had not seen in Germany for, months-is plentiful here. of course; butter. lard, and olive oil, seen in the grocery shops offered a really irresistible ap- peal to one who had scarcely known them for so long. There were differ ent cuts of pork; the correspondent had had small portion of pork twice in three months He found many kinds of bread, while the only kinds he recently knew were rye mixed with potatoes and wheat mixed with rye There was real coffee. which one can not obtain even in the best hotels or millionaires' homes in Germany. The taste of French-fried potatoes was almost new thing, for no Ger man household has enough fat to per init indulging in this luxury. With bas- kets of bread on the tables in hotels and restaurants, and no breadcard re- ouired as condition precedent. to partaking, it seemed almost irregular and even wasteful. An order for maccaroni brought a quantity greater than a household of two persons can obtain in Berlin for a whole week. A single order of cold meats contained more than the amount allowed per ca pita in Germany for a week.
 What, then, it may be asked, are the Germans eating? The answer is: Bread, potatoes and other vegetables one half pound of meat weekly when it can be obtained, and fish, canned fresh and smoked. The disappear ance of the legumes-lentils, peas and beans-has been especially felt by the poorer people. A few beans and peas are occasionally to be had. but only a negligible quantity. Lentils. of which the Germans were very fond. disap- peared inithe first weeks of the war.
 On this food, if it can be obtained, one cannot starve, but the poorer peo- pie, who either get nothing but po- tatoes and bread or who do not know how to make the most of what they

AFTER LONG YEARS
eff I should meet thee
 After long years, How should I greet thee With silence or tears ?'

In many a woman's heart there is a longing to go back to the place where she spent her girlhood, to find out what has become of the onpanions of her youth. If she can afford visit to the old home both her time and money in gratifying the yearning are well spent.
 In the small towns far remote from the great city, the years that flow on- ward do not bring many changes, ex- cept that those who were rich grow richer and the poor poorer. The wo- man who f1atters herself that she has not changed much in the twenty years she has been a wife needs but to wan der back among her old associates to have the truth that she has been rid ing swiftly along in Times chariot demonstrated to her. The old inn keeper and his good wife who sat in the front pew of the village church on the evening she was married failed to recognize her. The postmaster, a red checked, cheery man in those days, faced her now with snowdrifts among his sparse, dark locks, spectacles cov- ering the eyes that had been 'so dark and sparkling twenty years before. He faces her without the faintest gleam of recognition. His tongue loosens when she makes her identity known to him and makes inquiry for the girls and boys who had danced at her we'd ding. Had Hattie Vail and Harry Williams-the two who had ''stood up" with her-wed or had Alice Shaw or Bessie Wells won him? The story of each separate love affair holds her ia terests absorbed.
 They all come here for their mail of an afternoon. You may watch, if you will, and see which, if any, you will be able to recognize" Never had wanderer who had returned to the old haunts a more exciting, pleasur- able hour. She who had been the beauty of the village in other days was first to enter-frowsy of head, with a faded shawl pinned about her shoul- ders, youngsters clinging to her skirts and a market basket on her arm. The village blacksmith's wife was not pleased to be reminded that she had not made good her boast that her beauty of the village in other days was prince, or at least millionaire.
 The girl who had been the poorest. yet sweetest, of them all was welded to >one who had at last become mayor of the towny while the fair maiden who had been haughtiest of them all had welded a circus clown to escape the fate of being an old maid. The doctors daughter had married the un- dertaker's son, a very suitable ar rangement. The miller's daughter and the village baker had also Joined forces.
 Each and every lass and lad had welded very differently from what they had planned when Time was youn with them. The come-ups and go-downs among them were more in teresting by far than the pages of any novel could be. After a visit to the home of her childhood and noting all that transpired, the average woman Is prone to be more satisfied with her own lot.
 , The test of years proves that each ore glides into the groove he or she was intended for, no matter what promises alluring youth held forth We often pity those whom we thought we might envy.

A number of women of this class, some weeks ago, made a small demonstration in front of the city hall Of one of the municipalities of Greater Berlin. declaring that they were hun gry. You shall not be ollowed to starve (verhungern)," said the mayor. but you will have to be hungry (hun- gern)".
 This is undoubtedly the spirit anil mating all but an insignificant num- Der of the Germans. They are satis- ned that they will not starve, and they are willing to make the sacrifice for the Fatherland implied in the mayors words. And they are the better able to make this sacrifice because, as has been Illustrated. they do not realize just how great it is.

 VOTES FOR WILSON

Editor of The Farmer:
 I. as deaf mute, request that all Re. publicans and independents vote for Hon. Woodrow Wilson, the great pro. gressive Democratic candidate for President of the United States. Mir. Wilson is not a man like many who knows you only at election times. but he knows you at all times. He should be helped by the working class, as it was through his efforts that many workers have been granted half holi- days for enjoyment. If could only speak, I could tell lots that the Dem ocratic candidate has done. It is the only way in which we have been able to think of MT. Wilson and show our appreciation of what he has done for me. I ask all who are affiliated with organized people to support Hon. Wilson on Election Day.

N. writes: Young girl past seven teen as I am, had society of young man of twenty-two years. He is a bit of a rover and has left us. He is good man. Loves me. Mother was not inclined to care for him, worthy as he is. Is there any harm in my stepping out and being married to him in church or at my girl chum's?"
 Do not marry at your tender age without your parents consent. You may regret stepping out' to wed if you do. Coax your mother to find out his worthy qualities. Perhaps she may want you to wait before ''ty- ing the knot" till you are a couple of years older. He may be better able to care for a wife then.
