Of Danzig to the new state OF Poland.
Danzig observed a week OF mourn
ing All amusements were closed, and
dirges and other sad tunes were
played in the restaurants instead Of
the usual sprightly music.
This spell OF municipal depression
was intended TO express the resent
ment Of the Danzig people at being
separated from Germany for % per-
cent Of them are German After the
week OF mourning, the city resumed

say Indifference
Danzig, located at the mouth Of
the Nistula river. is an excellent port
and the only one which Poland has.
II thus becomes the outlet for a ma
ton Of 55,000,000 people. and as such
its importance is bound to grow.
Danzig is very old city It was

the other stores in town The climax
arrived when the Miller store an
nounced that they would sell lem
ons at IT cents a dozen. while the
other stores were charging between
40 and so cents a dozen.
Almost Immediately the other stores
in town announced that they were
selling lemons at Is cents a DOZEN.
The signs announcing the price of
lemons were changed as fast as they
could be made with a few cents re-
duction each time. until the price
was brought 10 5 cents a dozen. All
of the stores did a booming business
Later canteloupes and watermelons
were brought into the sale and some
