MANY GERMANS
TO EMICRATE
TO ARGENTINA

BERLIN, July 20 Correspondence
of Associated Press) 1t is expected
that several million Germans will at
tempt, as soon as passes are availa-
BILE, to leave Germany and secure
more lucrative employment abroad
The newly organized imperial mi
grafton bureau denies that a German
commission in the Argentine is at
tempting to arrange for the accept
ance of 100000 Germans, which is
vastly more than the South American
country could suddenly assimilate,
but says that delegates of the new
bureau will shortly go to the Argen-
tine to protect such Germans as do
deceived.
The bureau says the Argentine is
friendly to Germans and offers good
chances for skilled labor such as car
penters, watchmakers, mechanics and
printers.
The Argentine consulate general
says that a commission has been sent
to the Argentine which will buy land
for the emigrants and institute farms
and schools. He declares that the
Argentine government is willing to
welcome large colonies of Germans
but demands that they should accept
Argentine citizenship so that there
will be no danger of creating a state
within a state. Precautions are to
be taken against Bolsheviki Emf
grants are especially welcome to the
territories of Chaco missions, Chubut
and on government lands. Twenty
to two hundred hectars will be given
free, on condition that they are not to
be sold, and cattle and machinery
will be advanced on credit.

TRUE LOVE. LAUGHS At AGE
Shafts of Father Time Powerless to
Affect Those Blessed With Mutu-
al Affection.

Ordinarily, we would cuss TO the lin
II "peeper" or an eavesdrOpper. But
we have a confession to make on the
first count, and we would plead miti-
| eating circumstances.
On drizzling. fOggy night. our way
lay down a side street toward home.
Several rods ahead there was shaft
of light and when we reached the spot
we found u window with the shade
halfway up. Wickedly, but not mali
ciously, we hesitated, stOpped-and we
peeped.
There sat an old man and his wife.
They must have been well up to the
allotted three-score of years. He was
smoking and she was knitting. Still
we peeped Then she looked up at him
and smiled and said something. He
laid down a book, struggled up from
out of his comfortable seat and kind
of hObbled out of the room, shortly
returning and carrying glass OF wa
ter, which he handed to her.
And as she drank she held the
wrinkled and bony hand of her lover.
Then, as she finished drinking, she re-
leased his hand and the look she gave
him and the look he gave her were like
shafts Of sunshine breaking through
the murky clouds after days of rain.
That picture has haunted us long
time. Somehow she seems beautiful i'll
our eyes, and yet we did not get
closeup" of her features. And he,
why as we keep thinking of him, we
bark back to the days when we once
visited a fine old Southern gentleman
who possessed the graces of Chester
field and the courtesy of Don Juan.
Then we recall the words of poet
which fits the case precisely: Let
Time reach out with his sickle as far
as ever he can; although he can reach
rudy cheeks and ripe lips and flash
ing eyes, he cannot quite reach love-"
When a man really loves woman
she will never grow old, and when a
woman loves man he is neither de-
crepit nor bowed nor tremulous. She
Is the same lass he wOOed and he ia
always the same gallant young fellow
who won her heart and her hand
They are absolutely equals, happy and
free. These two lovers are travelling
toward the City of Silence, but they
are leaving behind picture never to
be forgotten.-Fremont Herald.

HARVESTING BIG WHEAT CROP
Department Of Agriculture Advises
Farmer to Consider Question
of Stacking.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture.)
With the biggest crop Of wheat on
record about to be harvested, 1t is
probable that In many neighborhoods
thrashers will not be able to make
their rounds In the usual time. Con-
siderable quantities of wheat will have
to wait beyond the usual thrashing
time. If left in the shock, 1t will be
damaged by every rain, even to some
extent by the dew. The stacking Of
wheat has fallen into disuse in latter
years, but it would be well, the de-
partment of agriculture says, for the
farmer who is not certain of prompt
thrashing to consider it this year.
