Paper Mill Employees
in Germany Prosperous

While paper money in Germany is
spelling poverty for thousands, EN-
ployees in the paper industry are
waxing happier and Weather every
Gay. According to Munich business
man, recently arrived in New York.
paper making is now the key industry
in the Fatntyand and produces the
most reqsired article at present. 1t is
the only industry with no unemploy-
ment. On the contrary, paper fac
tories are run in double shifts.
Twenty large factories are entirely
occupied in supplying the Reichshank,
according to the Munich citizen, and
y in all are today working for it,
converting trainlOads of paper into
money. Owing to the rapid devalua-
ton of the mark, notes are very short
lived. In very short time most of
them become supertluous, prices hav-
ing risen so greatly that a note of a
must replace them. Although they
look brand new, notes issued but a
few weeks before cannot buy, any
longer, even the cheapest objects
While their exchange value has
fallen, however their worth as raw
material has grown meanwhile to eX-
coed many ties their value as Legal
tender. Notes up to loo marks are
worth more than forty times their
printed value to the ragman. Those
up to 100000 marks sell for four times
their nominal value as junk.
Faced by the tremendous demand
for new paper marks, the Reichshank
has declared that it has only small
stock on hand and that despite the
overworked papermen, only a quarter
of trillion represents the daily out
put With the demand so high and the
supply so low the Reichsbank can
satisfy only in small measure the
demands of its patrons. 1t considers
5rst the claims of the bureaus which
pay the stipends to the unemployed
tries which as far as possible are
given a few truckloads of paper tG
ply the wage Garner. Trade, including
he banks, and the government author
tiles, receive little or nothing from the
Reichsbank.
In the latter instance advantage Is
taken of the fact that the state EN-
ployees are regarded as the most pa
tient, suffering without making dis
lgreeahle complaints. Consequently
thousands of state employees do no.
2ceive their salaries until they ar,
many weeks overdue.

Wood EuFaEo Herd

Buffalo Park, in Alberta, has been
set aside by the Canadian government
as a wild life sanctuary, and will be
unique in that 1t will serve as the
habitat of the only herd of wild wood
buffalo in existence. Virtually the
same as the plains buffaloes in habits
and customs. the wood buffaloes mate
in September, migrate back and forth
by the same trails, and take life easily
at all times.
1t is amazing how fast these clumsy
looking animals can travel. Even
when they are walking man must
run to overtake them, and when they
are in hurry it requires tleet-footed
horse to keep up with them.
