works throughout the empire.
Already the allies have fixed GUS
toms du'ies on all trade between
this region and other parts OF Ger

are unable to carry on commerce !
with .eir own best and richest re-
gion save by paying toll to the
allies However, there are still
other elements in the situation
that has been created which are
worth noting.
One is that by the loss of this
great industrial region, Germany
lis SO weakened that she could
never offer any effective military
resistance to foreign armies be-
cause of her inability to manufac-
ture war material. Hence if she
continues troublesome and inso-
Ilent, an invasion of the empire
could be easily carried out.
The other is that with this re-
lgion lost, Germany as a nation
would probably so decline in pros
|perity that her people would scat
ter to the ends of the earth; and
so the specter Of another German
attack, which is already haunting
France, would vanish perhaps
forever.

will save the United States gov

Harding has made up her mind
that it is her duty to get along
with the old furniture Of the pri-

this with personal belongings.
Savings should begin at home,
Mrs. Harding thinks, and it is the
place of the first lady of the land,
she believes, to set an example In
thrift to other housewives.

Keep Bugs from Cucumbers

Bend an eighteen-inch square Of
screen wire to a square box form
and invert it over cucumber plants

covering the edges we'll with dirt.
No bugs can then get in to harm
the young plants and by the time
they have outgrown the box they
will be strong enough to resist in

The best and most economical

LOOKING FOR A HOME

Who wants couple Of dandy, fine
bright, little twin boys? These
youngsters are four years old and
are as cute as they make them and
will fill up great big vacancy in the
lives of some people who will, sooner
or later adopt them. They are at
present wards of the state and are
at the home at Coldwater where they
are getting the best of care and three
squares each day and they are going
to be kept there until some one turns
up with a desire to take them and
also a promise that they will be well
taken care of and get just as good
treatment as the state is capable Of
giving them.
In this city there are many people
who could take these youngsters and
provide q good home for them. The
cash outlay which would be required
to clothe and feed them would be re-
paid many times by the cuddling of
a child in your lap or the twins of
their baby arms around your meek as
they carress the man or woman who
they are to know as father and moth
