Amsterdam.-How, the war is sap
ping the vital strength of the German
nation, not only on the field of battle,
but at home, is told in an Illuminating
article in the Chemnitzer Volkskinne,
prominent German socialist organ, a
copy of which has just reached here.
The paper, citing facts and figures,
sounds grave alarm and warns the
government that "certain concessions
to the poor, premiums on babies or in
surance schemes" will not suffice if
the nation is to survive.
The article follows:
Since 1915 the number of deaths in
Germany has exceeded that of birth.
The decrease in the birth rate since
1918 is considerable.
In 1914 this decrease was 1880; in
1915 1t reached Tin comparison with
1879 the $4,000 mark, or % per cent;
in 1915 it was 725,500, or 40 per cent.
This decrease in the birth rate has
consequences even more far reaching
than the loss Of life on the numerous
battlefelds. The effect is partially
counter-balanced by the fact that the
mortality of infants has considerably
decreased. The year 1914 marked
rise in the death rate of infants,
amounting to 10000; but in 1915 there
was decrease of 61,000, and in 1916
one of 10000 or 40 per cent.
Marriages Are Decreasing.
These last figures throw clear but
sad light upon the social consequences
Of the war. The fall in the birth rate
is self-explapatory. Many who in nor
NAL times would have been happy to
have children are restricted by the
circumstances Of wartime from enlarg-
ing their families. Besides the war has
considerably reduced the number of
marriages, and it is well-known fact
that young people contribute to re-
population more than others.
During the first month of the war
marriages were very numerous; there
is tendency to believe that since that
time marriages have not ceased to be
more numerous than in peace times. In
August of 1914, there were in the cities
of Prussia three times as many mar
riages as in the month of July of the
same year; but there this increase
stopped. AS the war dragged on, with
Its long campaigns, marriages became
fewer and fewer.
In the whole empire the initial album
dance Of marriages was followed by a
sharp diminution, which continues to
this day. We have not yet at hand the
figures for the whole Of the empire, but
we know that in Saxony there were
26,300 marriages in 1915, as against
10000 in 1913.
In Hamburg the corresponding de-
crease amounted to 1900; in Berlin to
5000, and in Bremen to 1000.
Birth Rate Cut Seriously.
Since it may be assumed that the av-
erage Young couple has one child at
the end Of the first year 1t is seen that
this diminution Of marriages leaves
serious cut In the birth rate.
The food shortage naturally infu-
enees infant mortality. Looking SIM
ply at the figures, one is tempted to re-
joice over The decrease in this NOR
taIity, but Ole 'ed,s .soSSiSers it in

SEEGER-BUNDLIE PRIZES
AWARDED XMAS MORNING

On Christmas morning the award
of cash prizes was made known and
the three prizes of $25, SIS and $40
were delivered, the second and third
prizes being considered a tie and
were divided between two contest
ants in each case.
The first prize went to Mary Quill
lin Kinney, the second to Chas.
Kirchner of the Morningside Poul-
try farm and Mrs. E. D. Wilson of
riverside, the third prize went to
Miss Mabel Christensen, the cashier
in The Republican office, and Mrs.
Albert Heusser.
There was a large number of let
tiers, and the judges had task that
kept them for a long time looking
them over. They all dwelt upon SO
nearly the same things relating to
the conduct of the business, that it
was a very difficult matter to make
the decision.
1t is a significant fact that nearly
all of the writer's commended the
firm for furnishing service as well
as goods. 1t is one of the marks
of the times that successful firms
not only sell goods, but include ser.
vice in the sales. In other words
they supply goods plus expert know
ledge of the salespeople in behalf OF
each and every customer who makes
selections of goods with a view OF
suiting his or her needs. This paper
has had so much to say on that and
kindred subjects, it is very gratifying
to see that the public are placing 1t
uppermost when studying firms and
the service they render. In our edi-
ton of the fifth of January we shall
devote considerable space to bring
ing out matters of this kind, both
in public and private business.
The letters written by the winners
in the Seeger-Bundlie contest are
nrinted herewith, and show the trend
of the public mind on some matters
of much interest to dealers.
First Prize Letter
Blackfoot, Idaho, Dec. 81, 1917.
The Seeger- Co.,
Everybody's Store,
Blackfoot, Idaho.
Gentlemen:
l have visited the SeegerB Bundle
company, everybody's store, and
think it safe place to trade be-
cause they give full value for every
dollar; they know the value of time;
are clear and explicit in bargains;
are strict in striving to please; are
candid with all, and are every ready
to acknowledge and rectify wrong.
They know their business, are in
dustrious, do nothing carelessly or in
a hurry, consider small sales i'm
portant and individually show that
all trade is duly appreciated.
Yours truly,
MARY QUILLIN KINNEY.
Second Prize Letters
~.... Blackfoot, Ida, Dec. 81, 1917.
l have been in Seeger- Bundles.
everybody's store, and the reason /
think it is safe place to trade is:
First: The goods are always as
they are represented.
Second: receive better value for
my money than elsewhere
Third: Their stock is complete,
goods of excellent quality, new clean
and well displayed.
Fourth: A child receives the
same consideration and courtesy as
a grown person
Fifth: Their clerks are truthful,
courteous and pleasant and pleased
to show their goods, expressing their
honest opinion in giving advice or
suggestions.
Sixth: Last, but not least, they
sell for cash. Therefore you do not
pay for the other fellows bad &C
counts.

MRS. e. D. WILSON,
Blackfoot, Idaho, R. F. D. No. 2

Blackfoot, Ida, Dec. 10. 1917.
Seeger- Bundle Company,
Blackfoot, Idaho.
Gentlemen:
have been in the Seeger-Bundlie,
everybody's store, and the reason |
think it safe place to trade is be-
cause the store has my confidence.
My confidence was gained from the
following observations:
The company absolutely stands
back of every article of merchandise
in the store. Evidently, it is their
intention to make the name, every
body's Store" with reference to
merchandise, correspond to the name
Sterling" as associated with silver
ware. Their pride and sincerity
must compel them to buy only reli-
able and proven merchandise.
The business is run on a cash
basis, which enables them to take
advantage of manufacturers dis
counts and at the same time elm
mate losses thru bad accounts in in
creased overhead charges. A bust
ness operated on a cash and one
price basis will invariably undersell
a credit establishment.
The employees are courteous and
not only know the stock but are will
ing to show it. You are made to
feel at your ease in the store
whether you enter to purchase, look
around or meet friends.
Another good indication that the
store is safe place to trade is in
watching it's steadily growing list Of
satisfied customers.
Yours very truly,
CHAS. KIRCHNER.

Third Prize Letters

Blackfoot, Ida, Dec. 20, 1917.
I have been in Seeger-Bundlie,
,everybody's store, and the reasons
think it is safe place to trade are =.
The Seeger-Bundlie company
everybody's store, is safe place to
trade because of the excellent quality
of their goods, their stock is all new
and up-to-date in style and texture
1t is safe place to trade because
of their goods being so reasonably
priced. There is nothing about them
that is out Of reach of the ordinary
shopper of today.
1t is a safe place to trade because
Of the dependable advise one is as
sured of receiving. If a person de-
sires a piece Of material, say for a
skirt, and has a notion for black
taffeta, altho they have it in stock
to sell. the clerks ask permission to
show you something a little more
servicable, more popular this season
and no more expensive.
Another important feature about
the store that makes it safe trad
ing place is the excellent light. Even
at night, by the electric light, it is
possible to see just what, yogl an
getting in color and teXtllreg n nv
