Well Known Padua Farmer
Returns From Holland Trip
Gentleman Says that Business Con.

(Brooten Review

Gerrit J. Jansen, Padua farmer,
returned home last Friday from a
trip to Europe, where he visited
his parents, Mr.. and Mrs. II. J.
Jansen, at Apeldoorn, Gelderland,
Holland. The local mans visit to
the land of his birth, from which
he had been absent for II years,
was fastened by the illness of his
mother, who, however, was con-
siderably improved at the time of
his departure from the old country.
In conversation with the editor
we learned from Mr.. Jansen that
,, Apeldoorn where his father is en-
geged in business, is a city with a
population of 10000 inhabitants, a
modern place with conveniences
similar to those found in this
country.
Business conditions in Holland,
according to Mr.. Jansen, were
good. Prices received for farm
commodities were good, laborers
were well paid and were not re-

and Washington. Mr.. Geuting re-
turned as far as Milwaukee and
will visit there with her three

In New York Miss Geuting and
Miss Bomen were entertained by
Miss Elizabeth Newman, Compos-
er, of children's books whose works
she has used in her teaching Miss
Newman showed the ladies a new
book ready for the press that is
going to be great joy to the pi-
ano teacher. She claims she has
spent 10 years preparing this book.

attached to the front of all motor

in an effort to reduce the growing
toll of fatal street accidents in
Great Britain. Deaths average Is

The new lifeguard is fitted to COW

like a cow-catcher on a rtain, and is

the guard is fitted with a sponge
like material, and at the bottom a
rubber fender prevents legs or

30 to 40 cents pound and hogs
brought 20 cents pound. On the
other hand, everyday necessities
were correspondingly high in most
instances, and taxes, too, were in
proportion.
The year intervening since his
first departure from the land of
his parents, had brought many
changes. Automobiles for instance
were not numerous in Holland II
years ago. Today both automo-
biles and BUSES are common. The
autoes are mostly of American
make, Chevrolets ard Fords pre-
dominating. Practically all of the
highways are hard-surfaced, only
few dirt roads being in evidence.
Several taxes are demanded,
however, from the man owning an
auto. The average automobile tax
is approximately $4,000 year, but
in addition to this there is a chauf-
feur's license to pay, which amounts
to $500 a year, as well as a prop
erty tax on the machine. These
taxes may account for the fact
/ that bicycles are used extensively.
But even here the owner must pay
a toll, for a bicycle license is $1.25
year.
Styles of clothing are much the
same as those in the United States.
A law in Holland compels business
places to close at six o'clock each
evening except Saturday, when
stores may remain open until 1000
p. m.
While in Europe Mr.. Jansen also
visited in nearby countries, in,
Guiding Belgium and Germany. He
made side trips to Brussels and
Antwerp. In Germany he visited
towns along the Rhine and in Ham
burg. He thought conditions in the
latter country still showed effects
from the war.

after all.
