TRADE FAIRS DROPPED

Cwashington Herah-Public Ledger Service
Special Gable Dispatch
By HENRY WILLIAM FRANCIS.
Paris, May 25.-America need en-
tertain no fears of injury, to her
foreign and domestic trade through
German price-cutting. Neither is
dumping" of German manufactur-
ed articles to be expected.
These were assurances given me
tonight by Heinrich Deutsch. one
of Germany's representatives to
the Franco-German economic con-
ference in session here.
Competition with US Is not to
be feared" Deutsch said. I'VE are
trade as alleged German factories
cannot NIL their engagements. We
are flooded with orders we cannot
fll And this is true of industry
throughout Europe. The one great
cry is for supplies.
Goods Sell Themselves.
The art of salesmanship does
not exist in Germany: we expect
the goods to sell themselves"
Deutsch said industrial fairs OIL
trade expositions. which are being
promoted throughout allied coun-
tries to stimulate the revival OF
trade. are not wanted in Germany
The idea of the Leipzig and
Frankfurt expositions was non.
sensical; orders cannot be filIed in
many cases. Labor is lacking;
Jobs are advertised everywhere;
workers are never found adver-
tising for jobs.
Intellect Needed.
Germany is handicapped by a
serious lack of intellectual work
ers. of whom great numbers were
absorbed by the war.
we are asking our workers to
make a great effort at production
realizing that only in production
can Germany recover herself or
meet her great international obli-
cations They will respond un-
doubtedly. providing there is sum-
cient wholesome cheap food avail
able. Without that. nothing can
be done"

W|LLMAR SCHOOL NOTES

The Dental Clinic which was. conduct
ed in Willmar recently for the benefit
of school children revealed some very
startling conditions. Out of 277 child
rem examined only six were found to
possess a perfect set of teeth In some
cases children of 9 years old had lost
nearly all of their permanent teeth. If
the same proportions hold good through
out the school system there would be
only 40 children out of 1900 who have
perfect teeth. Surely condition like
this is alarming and should lead par
ents to do all in their power to take
care of their children's teeth.

polls Tribune contained essays on Thrift

The site of the building was donated
by jackson WEIGH who then owned the

There is no question but that two
things predominated of these leaders of
thirty years ago.
The feeling that the true welfare of
the community demanded the corrective
and inspiring influence of the church
and that they needed for them selves
and their children the educational and

the church gives
