BORN IN GERMANY

Twenty American soldiers landed
on these glorious shores the other
day, each bringing with him a Ger.
man bride. Twelve Of them also had
babies. And the story goes that what
the proud fathers, every one of them,
wanted to know, was whether his kid
would have chance to be president.

MANY CULvERTS
DAMAGED BY The
RAIN IN COUNTY
County Surveyor Van Voor-
his Says The Damage Will
Amount To Thousands

The heavy rains OF the present
week caused several thousand dollars
damage to culverts in the northeast
ern and eastern parts of Knox coun-
ty, according to a statement of Coun-
ty Surveyor Carl VanVoorhis on Sat
urday morning.
Late Friday afternoon the county
surveyor completed tour of the
eastern half of the county where he
found large number of culverts
washed out and damaged by the high
waters OF the early part of the week
"In Jefferson, Brown and Union
townships / found the damage quite
heavy" said the surveyor Saturday.
The damaged culverts will be taken
care of just as soon as possible, but
according to County Surveyor Van
VoOrhis, 1t may be several months
before all the repairs are made.
This is due to the fact that it Is al
most impossible to obtain labor for
this kind of work There are only a
few contractors doing this kind of
work in Knox county and at the
present time they have all the con-
tracts they can take care of.
Some of the farmers in various
parts OF the county told the county
surveyor yesterday they would be
willing to assist in the work of re-
pairing the culverts. They may be
called upon to help with the work.

SENDING MILLIONS OF BUSHELS ABROAD
Galveston Alone Ships 6,OOO,OOO
 Of Wheat Monthly

Galveston, Tex, Dec. 8 Galveston, long the chief cotton exporting cen ter of the country, now is sending middle-western wheat to Europe at the rate of more than 6,000,00O bush els monthly.
 Exports of this grain for the four month period ending Oct. 31 last totaled 25.706,400.25 bushels, as com pared with S,S02,780.2O bushels in the like period of 1919, an increase of 16,903.620.05 bushels, according to figures made public by the grain in- spection department of the Galveston Cotton Exchange and Board of Trade The receipts of the grain here in, the same period were estimated at roughly 2S.500,0OO bushels as against 10,250,000 bushels in the like months of 1919.
 Dire shortage of railway equipment in the east is given by traffic experts as the reason for the unprecedented movement of the grain to this port. In past seasons the great bulk of the miGdle-west's cereal was handled to the Atlantic seaboard and thence in bottoms for European destinations, they pointed out
 Great Britain leads all other Euro pean countries in the number of bush els imported. her October takings alone totaling 1.400,700 bushels. Italy was second in that month with 976,- TOO bushels; Belgium third with 90S,- 900. and France. fourth with 63O,0 bushels. Cargoes which totaled l. 4O4,019 bushels of the grain, which departed this port for Gibraltar, were re-routed thence to destinations in Czecho-Slovakia, Jugo-Slavia, Ruman- ia, Greece, Turkey and other small European states

WOMAN RIDICULES
 BAN ON MARRIAGE
Also SCOfIS at Boycott on Babies

New York, Dec. s.-"Absurd.' '' unnatural" ahorrible," futile" were some of the adjectives applied by representative New York women yesterday to Mrs. Mackaye's sugges- ton of a baby boycott as a means of obtaining international peace. Mrs. Jesse Mackaye, president of the Mill waukee Peace Society, recently ad- vised the women of her organization to remain unmarried, if already married to refuse to have children, until efficient means shall be taken to guard the world from the horrors of war.
 ''I think the plan is perfectly and absurdly impractical" said Miss Maude Huffman, Associate Professor of History, Barnard College. "I can't think that enough unmarried women would be willing to postpone marriage, or enough married women to postpone having children for an idea so far removed from them as a possible future war.
 '"The majority of women seem to think war inevitable. Mrs. Mackaye appears to assume that a majority of women are pacifists. I think she is mistaken. It seems to me that a majority of women were perfectly SatlSneu tO nave tnelr nuSDandS and sons go to war. And one of the most disheartening signs of the times to- day is the small number of women who seem to be interested in the fun damental causes of war, or the study of how to avoid it. So few seem to be disappointed. for instance, that no provision has been made to carry out MT. Wilson's suggestions for dis armament, of for removing the man. ufacture of munitions from private ownership to government control.
 The only efficient cure for war, it seems to me, is education. I never did believe much in boycotts. Re- forms must be brought about by changing the content of the mind. I think it a much more practical sug- gestion for women pacifists to have children and bring them up to hate war.
