One disagreeable custom they have
in Germany, especially around Ber-

exactly twice as much for an article

straight to the people on the question or
home rule in tax matters and extraya-

Two fires kept the fire companies
of the district busy Wednesday af-
ternoon. The first fire was a brush
fire in the rear Of the Fords school
and was soon extinguished by the
firemen. Shortly after the first fire
the companies were called to Hope
lawn, where a stable and shed in
the rear Of Sutch's hall were in
flames. The local firemen lost little
time in having a stream on the fire
which was soon under control. A
COW and a calf were saved from
burning to death.
