Two young men met on the public
street and entered into a converse
tion. One Of the young men lived
in the town, while the other was from
a nearby village.
A pretty girl came by. The town
bow sized her up and made a sug-
gestive remark. Then they both
looked, and laughed and looked
again.
Another girl passed, with a care
less look in their direction but with
out speaking. The town boy was
silent. but he from the neighboring
village appraised her charms, express

LOCAL GIRL VICTIM
 OF FAITHLESS LOVER
Miss Bertha Meyen Loses Life Earnings and Illus
 band After Wedding.

A story of misplaced confidence in a faithless lover is wound around the unfortunate happenings in the life of local young woman, Miss Bertha Meycn of Jubilee street, during the past month. Miss Meyen married one Fred Salten at the parsonage of St. Johns German Lutheran church, SO the story goes, on November 25, and left shortly thereafter for Boston, Mass, where she was to make her future home with her husband. Her personal holdings, which, it is said. amounted to a considerable sum, were turned over to him for safe keeping. Under pretense of having been called away on business, Salten left his bride in New York city and has not been seen since. Inquiries at business houses in which he claimed to have connect ms brought forth answers that Salten was unknown to them. Miss Meyen returned to this city shortly after the unfortunate incl dent. Efforts were made to cover up the affair but news of the event leaked out today.
 Miss Meyen is a prominent local resident. She was music teacher for several years prior to her unsuccessful authorization upon the sea of matri- mony and laid away a comfortable sum of money from her earnings it k reported. 1t believed that she confided this fact to Salten. and he contrived a means by which he might procure the money. At his solicita- ton, it is reported she disposed of the holdings. turning her worldly pos sessions into cash. ~
 Within a few hours after the we'd ding ceremony, the couple left for Boston Mass On the following morning they started for New York city, where Salten left on the so-called business trip. After he failed to put in an appearance within a reasonable tino. -he local girl made inquiries, the results of which indicated that she had been the victim of Salten's ruse. She returned 70 the home of her mother at once and since that time has heard nothing of her Hover"

ALLIES MAY RELENT
Possibility Is That Germans May Keep Some of Their Shipping-Onc Hun- dred Billion Marks Reparation.

Brussels, Dec. 22 (By Associated Press) s).-Payment by Germany of 100, 900, 900, 1000 marks in gold remains the basis upon which experts and dele gates to the second financial confer ence in session here are working This amount, although far below what was authorized by the Treaty of Versailles, is cons dered by them collectible only on condition that Germany is helped along the lines suggested by the Ger man delegates.
 Delegates have been pledged to secrecy but there Is a general impress sion they will recommend that their governments permit Germany to keep some of the 350.000 tons of shipping she was ordered to surrender under the Versailles treaty.
 The American dollar is mentioned frequently as a desirable standard in expressing reparation figures. It. is impossible for Germany to export gold marks, and tho dollar is considered the most stable unit at present.

It is also urged that the working of overtime be dis continued with the exception of that which is found necessary for running md repairs.
 Where 1t is found necessary to cur tail working schedules a request is made that the first reduction be to A hours a week. arranged as follows: Work to begin each morning at s o'clock and end at o'clock. five days a week: Saturday work to begin at o'clock and end at noon.

Gov ernor Harding of the federal reserve board estimated in a special report sent today to Chairman Gronna of the senate agricultural comm ttee. The was estimated at s719,266,00O, MT. Harding estimated.
 The figures include II districts. There was no report from the New York reserve bank as the board said there was a very small amount of farmers paper rediscounted there. Figures from the Boston district were: 1919, $2.642.0O0; 1920. s4,979,000.
 All Figures Arc Estimates.
 ''The special figures furnished by the Federal reserve banks in accord ance. with your request" said Gov ernor Harding's letter. "are in all cases estimates. no exact figures of the total volume of loans for agricultural purposes being available.
 Tt should be borne in mind also that the total amount of farmers notes rediscounted by federal reserve banks gives no indication of the advanced by the federal re- serve banks to finance the production and sale of farm products. since large amounts advanced to member banks in other districts on comm ercial and industrial paper are used by these banks for loans to agricultural in- terests"
