In the house
We had fine luck getting chickens this
spring. Set five hens seventy-two eggs
and got sixty-three chickens. Who beats
that, in war-tlmesG If we do not have rain
very soon, shall have nothing to feed
ourselves nor the cattle. The outlook just
at present is bit dolefuI, but we WON'T cry
till the worst comes, and perhaps not then.
Let me tell you that our son, who lives near
us, is quite i'll. Has worked too hard, and
has nervous prostration, and won't be able to
work for some time. He is inclined to be
doleful. ] so wish this clan of NJ. B.-ites
would all send him card. to cheer him up
and give him new thous hts. Address, Her

This forenoon / cleaned the pantry and
milk room, and, say, I'D rather clear up burnt
land, and I've helped do that often. So many
things to move, wash and dust, and oh, the
dear top shelves, what a joy they are! And the
chair or slep-ladder that one gets upon to
reach is always in the wrong place-and you
lose the wash cloth or the sosp-and get the
tacksin the wrong place. Yes, housseisaning
is a glorious pastime and it comes nearly s65
days in the year. What say? There's clean

clean; anyho hope so.
Now / must feed my chickens, get in the

a lot of them, and this sSring I'm running on

Now, don't all speak at once and say, what

and sha'n't hear you.
Have you noticed how much nicer bananas

HUNS MUST PAY

LONDON, Dec. Correspond
ence of the Associated Press)-One
London banker estimates that Ger
many will have to pay to the allies for
reparation and restitution about 81,
500. 900, 900. Calculated on a five per
cent basis, with a one per cent sink
ing fund, this would mean an annuai
charge on the German revenue of
$450,000,00O. He says there can be no
question Of Germanys ability to meet
this demand.
II is impossible, he says. discussing
the subject in a newspaper article, to
arrive d any approximate figure as to
damages and robberies in the invaded
territory. For Belgium" the article
continues, ~ would rat the amount of
indemnity at $1,40O,0O0,000. of whicn
sum levies on Belgium towns account
for something like S5OO,OOO,O0O.
know of another estimate for Belgium
which is high as S2,000,0O0,000 and
a Belgian of some authority estimates
the amount at $SOO,OOO,OOO"
With regard to France, he says one
cannot reckon the loss suffered, "but
considering that the war has been
waged for the most part on French
territory, and in the center of her
industrial area, we may put the figure
at $2,OOO,OOO,O 900" Il
rs ri vynp Srn to- mn faA ~
100000. The same amount is set as
Rumania's bill, including the loss OF
quantities of foodstuffs and damage to
oil wells and other property. He
thinks that $5O,OOO,OOO would cover
Serbia's loss, and like sum probably
would reimburse England for dam
ages caused by air raids and bOm
bardments.
Shipping losses are then discussed.

in figures of tonnage at nine million,
and taking the average value of 5000

100000. Adding the total value OF
cargoes at, say, $9OO,OO0,OO, we have
the total of $2,7OOO0O,OOO for Great
Britain alone. The shipping losses of
the allies I estimate at $5O0,0OO,0OO.
81 have heard an estimate which
places the total of the bill against
Germany at $4,000 100000, which,
like my own calculation, is of course,
to some extent, necessarily hypotheti
cal. But | we,ild put the figure myself
at $7,500,0O0,00O, which does not, OF
course, include any part of the cost of
the war;
Regarding Germany's finances, heI
calls attention to the last prewar bud

showed revenue of 1915 900, 900.
The estimate for the army was 1892,

ever it might be. to meet the cost of |
