GAN BUY ONLY NECESSITIES
 IN GERMANY
Get Better Wages than Ever Before but Prices Are Also Much High CT.
BY c. H. PADDOCK, International News Service Staff
 COrPeSDOndent

Lima, Ohio, Nov. 9.-German work ingmen are finding it almost impossi- ble to support thier families the wages they receive, according to Leon Loewenstein, who recently re turned here from a trip to Europe.
 Notwithstanding that wages are higher than ever before in the history of Germany, prices are advancing at a rapid pace" declared LOeWenStein. Necessities of life are nearly out of reach of of the common people! Prices advanced from 200 to 1000 per cent in the last three months.
 ''In the face of such economic condi- tions, there is no idleness in Germany Every factory that can obtain raw material is working. There seems to be a desire on the part of everyone in the country to improve the national con dition,' LOewenStein said.
 The Universal opinion, outside of Berlin, is that the country will not re- /turn to a monarchical government Ire Republic has endeared itself to the people, who feel that the German separations to the Allies should be paid, but who frequently express the desire for a longer time in which to pay
 Low cost of travelling in Germany is shown. by Loewenstein's experience in going from Cologne to Stuttgart. The trip consumed two hours on the fastest eA press train in Germany. A party of three made the journey at total cost of fifty cents in United States currency.
 Discussing industrial conditions in Germany, Loewenstein said:
 "Just as John D. Rockefeller is the the controlling power of the Standard Oil Company and it's subsidiaries, just so is Hugo Shines the leader in almost every industry and business in Ger many.
 ''Stinnes owns mines which produce every mineral found in the country, heads companies which convert the minerals into raw materials and con troIs concerns which make the finished products. He also controls the shipping

 Every village and hamlet has cleo tric lights-a thing unthought of a few years ago. It is possible to talk over the telephone from every town to any part of Germany.
 Railroads, which are partly under Stinnes'S control, run regularly. There seems to be an improvement in schedules over pre-war conditions" said LoewenStein.

(By International News Service.) Atlanta, Ga. Nov. g. Frnk Mitchell. cashier of the Georgia Rail- way & Power Company, is sold" on the necessity of a ck-protecting machine. Incidentally, he has come to the conclusion that there is tal- ent which God has given man that cannot be put to profitable purposes.
 A young fellow recently entered Mitchelrs office and tried to sell him q machine for protection against raised or forged checks He told the industrious salesman that he did not need such a machine, whereupon the vender of check-protecting machines said:
 Write your name for me-"
 This Cashier Mitchell did
 NOW lend me one of your checks"
 MT. Mitchell compiled with this re- quest. The salesman wrote on the check, went to the window of the pay ing clerk and came back to MT. Mitchelrs office with $1O0 in cur rency.
 Now go out there and see how l got the money" he said.
