Made-in-Germany Goods
III. H. Windsor, in December Popu


(H. H. Windsor, in December Popu-
lar Mechanics
When the time comes that mer-
chant ships can again sail the seas
in safety and the several thousand
vessels flying the German flag seek
foreign shores loaded to the guards
with goods of German manufacture
why then should the nations OF the
world buy the German exports?
One surely cannot expect the moth
ers in England, France, Australia,
and Canada to buy and wear gar
mments made by the very hands
which dropped bombs on the hospital
in which lay their wounded sons! 10
do so would be sacrilege. And why
should we in this country, whose Wo-
men and helpless children went
down on the "Lusitania, whose sons
and brothers and fathers are already
near or on the firing line-Wny
should we forget all these things In
days to come, and exchange our gold
for German-made goods merely be-
cause they are offered us for a little
less money than the same articles
can be manufactured here? And
why should the South American coun
tries encourage imports OF German
goods when by doing so, every dol
lar serves to strengthen the arms OF
a nation which would crush them all
in it's plan of world dominion? Why
should India, and Japan, and China,
help rebuild an export trade, the
rapid growth of which, and whose
enormous profits. fed the fires of ava
rice with the dream of controlling
the factories and workshops of the
whole world?
The very money which for years
has flowed into Germany from
France, and England, and Italy, is
this very moment going back to them
in the form Of deadly gases and
monster shells, and all the hideous
implements of which the Huns are
proud. Money which this country
exchanged for German goods is being
spent on our own soil in propagan-
da by which hate, distrust, and ma
liciOusness are planted and nurtured.
Our own dollars were and still are
being spet to foment hate between
this country and Japan, and Mexico;
it was some of our own money
which paid for dishonor of the Bern
storff type; which has blown up our
mills and ships and docks; which
has made the 1. w. w. what it is.
Shall we then in time resume the
exchange of our money to foe who
viii lere long approach us with a
smiling face and explain no harm
was meant when he stopped at no
barrier and recc gnizel no code of
faith or morality? Will we be so
craven as to forget all this? Or will
we demand that Congress pass law
requiring that every article imported
into this country shall (under penal
ty of confscaticn) be plainly mark
ed, showing the country of its ORR
gin? And then may all good Ameri-
cans show their loyalty and never
hesitate one instant between going
without article or buying one bear
ing THAT mark Of iniquity, Made in
Germany"

In Memoria

In loving remembrance of our dear
father, James Hubbard, who depar-
ted this life six months ago today
Rest, dear father, thy work is over,
Thy willing hands will toll no more;
A faithful father, so true and kind,
A better father you could not find.
Sleep on, dear father, sweetly rest,
We needed you, but God knew best
How oft we sit and think of you
when we are all alone,
For memory is the only friend that
grief can call its own.

Nor did Brent know that Adams was

Bertha, however, knew this. She knew,
too, that she could trap Adams with a

The guardsman divining his motive
struck him just as he had Adams. Toxic
fell in his arms and he, too, was thrust
into the limousine tonneau.
When Major Brent appeared at the
garage some time subsequently, he
found the sentry pacing back and forth
In front of the open doorway.

The whereabouts of Brent's secret

told to Pearl and Bertha during the

OF this extra precaution was obvious;
not even the house inmates, them

WILL CARRY MAIL IN AIRPLANE
United States Government Has Closed
an Alaskan Contract With
Flyer.

Earl L. Byers, nephew Of II. ". By
ers, corporation counsel for Des
Moines, Ia, has one Of the most un-
usual contracts ever let by the United
States government.
He has agreed to carry mail by air
plane over route in Alaska at COM
pensation of 1880 annually.
Byers will make two trips each week
between Nome and camp 3S1 miles
inland. He will carry mail and pas
sengers, and his service will bring the
mining camp three weeks nearer the
outside world.
The country over which he will fly
Is mountainous. There are no level
tracts on which to make a landing in
case his engine should stop. In winter
the snowfall is between 25 and 80 feet
deep. Even should Byers' airplane
make a safe landing In the snow be-
tween terminals it would be impossi-
BILE for the operator to get away again.
All Of these possible troubles were
considered by Byers before he took the
contract. On a trial trip he carried
four passengers, the weight being l.
600 pounds. He is using a Curtiss
tractor, with various ideas in aerial
navigation worked out by himself to
meet conditions in Alaska.
