do these people get their money"
She said: Frankly. it surprises
me, but you will see that they are
not we'll dressed and that they
make their money go a long way"
1t is true that all the girls are
cheaply dressed in thin, summer
frocks, but they were neat and
clean. Another said that for the
families where all are working and
we'll and are pooling their re-
sources. there is margin enough for
such an evenings pleasure. Life
is hardest for single girls or men
without families to help them, the
lady said.
Her own case was an example.
She is the wife of a German officer
killed in the war and has a little
boy seven years old. A clerical job
brings her $50 marks monthly, less
10 per cent income tax. But for
the charity of friends she couldn't
dress decently or feed her boy.
Reduced to Arithmetic.
For the working man. the labor
ers and mechanics. life is not lux
urious nor is it intolerable. I hnd
it works out to be a simple sum of
arithmetic. Wages have gone up
seven to eight times and the cost
of living ten times compared with
prewar conditions. Among the pro-
fessionsl classes like doctors, teach
ers and civil servants salaries have
increased only four to five times,
and the cost of living Is therefore
a dread balance against them.
All this Is due. of course. to the
depreciation in the paper mark now
worth cents instead of "a. On the
east and north sides of Berlin.
there are still thousands of Ill
nourished children in spite of the
immense work of American inter-
national charity and hundreds of
thousands of children have been
stunted since birth by the war and
postwar conditions. They live in
over-crowded rooms, where decency
and cleanliness are impossible ex-
cept by heroic effort, and woe be-
tide the German families of war
broken men or the men who lose
their jobs.
With work II is hard to live.
without work the hunger wolf leaps
with slavering jaws. In the main
streets Of Berlin one sees no sign
of that misery. and the only thing
that shocks one with distress Is
the larger number of MANNED.
blinded and shell-shocked men still
in their tattered field gray uniforms
holding out palsied limbs for char
ity from passersby.
Recovering Speedily.
Well, that's another side of the
picture which must not be left out
of the account. But weighing all
evidence, without sentiment or
prejudice and relying upon ones
own observations even more than
on expert Information, 1t seems cer-
tain that the German people as a
whole are recovering steadily from
war conditions and are ready TO
face even the new and immense
burden which now has been laid
on them by the treaty obligations
with some hope, and even real op-
timism. regarding their Industrial
recovery.
They are prepared to give the
world the most colossal example of
Industrial energy ever seen. / think

II you get lost in the mountains

is the advice Of an old mountaineer:
When you have come to sum-

your friends must come to your

SOUTH CAROLINA COTTON AS.
SoCIATIoN NOTES.

.siaSjOlumDla, March sl4.---SOuths Caro-
linians imported $111,O00, 900 worth
of food and feedstuffs from the West
last year, according to figures com
piled by the. committee on banking,
legislation and warehousing of the
South Carolina Division of the
American Cotton Association. The
importation of this enormous amount
of foodstuffs into the state was made
necessary by the eagerness of the
farmers to raise cotton, many of
them planting seventeen acres to the
plow.
In a statement issued yesterday
the association declared that there
was no reason for the farmers of the
state to be panic-stricken over the
fact that the price which cotton is
now bringing forbids them planting
over a half crop Of it next year. 1t
isdeclarcd that study Of the figures
collected by the committee on bank
ing, legislation and warehouses of
the association ought to convince
them that a diversifcation of crops
in the South will prove profitable.
According to the committee state
ment that importation of food and
feedstuffs into South Carolina from
the West last year as follows: Corn
100000; mixed feeds $13,OOO,-
100000; hay s12,ooO,Oo0; oats S1O,-
100000 -four $20,0O0,OOO; beef $15,-
000,O00; bacon $2O,OOO,OO0; eggs
and butter S3,0O0,000; canned goods
100000, making a grand total of
Sill 100000.
These figures" says the associa-
ton "are purchases from this state
only and every item must be paid for
in cash before the goo, are deliver
ed together with the eight. This
amount could be spent at home if the
farmers of South Carolina would get
their minds off of cotton for a few
minutes"
TO the farmmers of South Caro-
lima: 1t is generally agreed that a
6,0OO,O00-bale crop Of cotton this
year would net the South lust as
much as N"0.OOO-bale crop. The
chahces nat us more.
Why 81 d the fumurs oI the South
raise 100000 bales Of cotton to
rf7e "UNy When -ff0oGG>and iccdstuns
could be raised on that rand?
South Carolina imported $lll,,
100000 worth of food and Y%cdstufs.
from the West last year. South
Cardinals cotton crop last year if sold
on basis of 10c pound would net
the state approximately $75,O0O,0OO.
In other words our cotton does not
net us enough to pay for the food
and fcedstuffs which we are import
ing from the West but which we
could really raise at home.
There is no use raising cotton this
year when there is already enough on
hand to supply the world for a year
and a half. Let's raise food and
feedstuffs and keep the Sill 100000
that we spent last year for them at
home this year.
