Some Extremes
in New Styles

RUSSIA MAY SETTLE
ALL PRIVATE DEBTS

BERLIN. March 2o.-The Russian
soviet government has under serious
consideration the question Of recog-
mixing and settling a large part of
the private debts outstanding against
soviet Russia.
German hnanciers in numerous
conferences with the soviet trade
representatives made IL clear that the
work of reorganization and recon-
struction of Russia would be tremen-
dously furthered by the recognition
OF private debts.
However. the soviet government
has decided to take up no question in
volved in the recognition of the many
millions loaned by America, Great
Britain and France to the czarist
government before and during the
war and the consideration will be
confined strictly to legitimate private
debts and claims.

NO BETTER PEOPLE ANYWHERE

+ Who is the best person in Scotland
Neck i? It is certainly hard to say
In some respects, dare say, one per-
son in this good town is better than
another, and vice-versa. But. on the
whole, there is so much that is good
! in a vast majority Of our citizens 1t
would be difficult problem to give
ia correct answer to the above ques
ton
When [ say Scotland Neck people
are good, [ mean to take into consid-
Grafton not only the goodness of heart,
the kindness, the charitableness and
the gentleness of nature of our citi-
zens, than whom, in these respects,
there are no better people; for I am
not unmindful Of the intelligence, high
aspirations and lofty ideals of our
home folk
l speak Of Scotland Neck as
whole, for it would be unjust to the
good people here to class them with a
few who have seen fit to make this
town their home. Unfortunately,
Scotland Neck is the home of a few,
perhaps, who are not up to the high
standard of the majority of it's citi-
zens. However, the percentage Of such
is SO small that it is hardly noticeable
The good in our people is not con-
fined to either sex, nor to the grown
ups; for, while we have the biggest
hearted and most benevolent men IN
the world, as well as some of the
saintliest women on earth, where will
you find more manly, unselfish, hon
est and more gentlemanly boys, or
