GERMANY CANNOT PAY

The old spirit OF domlneerlng
and crushing as between nations
still prevails, though in such
cases the ones who have caused
the trouble may be gone or may
have passed away and the burden
of hate and revenge falls upon the
innocent. Back from Europe re-
Gently Senator Henrik Shipstead
writes about the conditions in
Germany in part as follows:
| have returned convinced that Ger
many can not and will not pay. Under
the present set-up in Europe, l am
certain that it would be an economic
financial, political and social impos-
sibility for her to pay.
Germany will not pay because:
1. The German people are near
the point of rebellion against any
further PREPARATIONS payments.
That rebellion will come, if the
Allies insist upon payment, long
before unborn generations pay the
last installment.
2. The politicians are being
crowded into reputation by the
people.
3. The Versailles Treaty i'm
poses economic conditions which
make payment impossible.
First, let us look at the physical
condition and the mental attitude OF
the German people who are asked to
pay annually the vast sum of $470,-
100000 in war PREPARATIONS and $780,
100000 in interest on foreign loans,
Germany is the only one of six coun-
tries l visited in Europe in which
found actual and acute suffering
among the masses of the people.
Poverty is appalling. Men, women
and children are under-nourished. The
children are especially pitiful.
The German people are sullen and
resentful of what they believe is the
unjust attitude of the Allies and par
ticularly of France toward them. They
feel that the world has ostracized
them and still regards them as ene-
mics.

the German people, would be forgiven
by the world for the mistakes of the
old regime.
Instead of being forgiven as the
victims of the old regime, the German
people found imposed upon them tbs
full cost of all the damage wrought
by the war.
They feel that the terms of the
Armistice were broken. They feel thai
they are being needlessly crushed by
the burden, after being stripped OF
their most valuable economic posses.

They believe that France intends
to split Germany up into the small

that this must be done for the pro-

verdale All Club met at the home of
Magnus christensen in Arlone town.

Mrs. John Swanson, local leader of
the club, and Miss Agnes Hanson,
teacher at the Cloverdale school, real
ize the good this extention work can

sponsible for securing the new mem
bers. Programs for the meetings are
worked up by the members through
the help of their local leaders.
Advantages that the boys and girls
have by belonging to All Climbs were
discussed by Fred B. Willrett, county
gren. "The boys and girls who are
having better methods of carrying on
their work, who have opportunities
to carry on their own meetings, will
be in better position to carry on
the work their parents are doing now
if they belong to All Club" stated
County Agent Willrett.
Parents of the members were pres
ent and listened with a good deal of
interest to the way the young folks
carried on their meeting. After the
business and social meeting was over
Mrs. Christensen served a lunch to
all who attended the meeting.
The club will meet at Vern Bakers
home on November 20 for their next
meeting. The names of the members
and the projects they are carrying
on are as follows: Vern Baker, presi-
dent, calf; Edith Christensen, vice
president, sewing; Herbert Klynstra

The masterful pitching of Duke Dave Turner, aided and abetted by alright support, except in spots, defeated the Ooligans Sunday afternoon when the King Salmons won by the narrow margin of g to II: honest count!

The latter, Elmer, knocked the hide off a g ball for a hole run; they're still looking for it. Warren Neal, attempting to reach 1st on a nice infield blow, stepped into the water buck ct making Umps White curse a blue streak. Fourteen thousand fans hooted, howled and cried like children at crucial points. Charles Price, king-pin of Alaskan sluggers and sensational infielder, showed some clever foot and bat work.

 priation for Pensions
Continued from page 1.)


 $315;000 for Old Age Pensions. Two years ago, the Legislature ap- propriated $17O,6OO for this pur- pose. The larger sum, MT.

 Log Policy Criticised
 In a memorial introduced by MT. Foster, the United States For est Service is criticised on two regulations-one restricting the ex- pcrtation of logs in the round, and the other for alleged unfair scaling rules. It urges that the Depart ment of Agriculture rescind these restrictions to the end that log exports be permitted and that timber 7 scaling rules be modified.
 Among the bills introduced to- day were the following: A Ways and Means measure to reimburse Williams Mortuary in the sum of $375 for burial of five indigents; by MT. Vim, bill to appropriate $1,600 to aid Skagway maintain and improve it's public school building; by MT Bergh, to author

Freckles Called Ailment
 By German High Court

BERLIN, April l3-Freckles are an ailment and not merely a cor poreal defect, says a finding by the Federal Supreme Court of Ger many.
 The decision came in the case of druggist who was prosecuted for recommending a freckle remedy which contained mercury. It was charged that this ingredient made the salve a medicine, to be pre- scribed only in cases of sickness. ss The druggist argued that freckles at most were only symptoms of disease and therefore he was justi- fled in using mercury in his salve. But medical experts convinced the high court otherwise and the phar- macist was held culpable.

Amos n Andy live the char acters they portray.
 The comedians who for more than five years have maintained popular interest through nearly a thousand sketches actually are for certain times each day, the persons their changing voices call into existence
 For example, when Amos switch es and becomes Brother Crawford he bounces up and down in his chair. Andy before the micro phone is really Andy. The minute that voice starts, thumbs go into the button holes of the vest and the chest is thrown out.
 Their contracts bear the sigma lures Of Freeman Gosden as Amos and Charles J. Correll as Andy.
 The boys never use assist
 ants despite the many roles
 they dc. Here are the parts
 Amos takes, inc cluding the
 breach of premise trial that
 concluded in victory for Andy.
 The Kirgfish, Brother Craw-
 ford, Liz htnin', the judge,
 Smith the prosecutor, and Ma
 dame Queen.

CTS and seconds will be licensed.
 No license fee is provided for general fund. Referees, judges, box clubs promoting shows, but $5,- 900 bond must be posted primarily to keep away the "fly-by-n night promoters.
 AS further protection to the fans the bill mandates that each round be of three minutes duration. 1t has been frequent policy in h. diana to limit some preliminary bouts to two minutes and in some instances the main bouts to two and half minutes.
 It has been a long time since a boxing or wrestling show of any consequence has been staged in Indiana. For several years, TO- round, no decision contests have been permitted in half a dozen cit ies.
 With the new law operative, how ever, there is no reason to believe that Indiana might not come in for serious consideration as bid der for titular and near-champion- ship matches.
 Several prominent Indianapolis sportsmen already have talked of getting behind movement to stage a real heavyweight bout this summer.

occasional characters, besides talk ing the part of Lawyer Collins and the bailiff in the trial. Thus Andy was his own attorney,
 Supersensitive to the presence of others when they are broad casting, Amos n Andy never per init anyone in their 12-by-12 win dowless studio. The only person who sees them in action is. the control operator.
 Not even M, H. Aylesworth, pres ident of the National Broadcastine company and their boss has seen them broadcast. Nor their wives, for that matter.
 However, here's how they do the job:
 Each sits at, the near corner of a small table containing two micro phones, one for emergency.
 When Andy comes to, voice,
 Correlrs lips are within two
 inches of the niicrophone.
 Amos generally stays two feet
 away, except when he portrays
 another character. Then he
 leans back in his chair, or even
 leaps to his feet. The princi-
 pal sound effect is a telephone
 bell. s s,..
 Sunday is their day of rest, but on week days the comedians work hard. Out of bed around g ann, they go to their office and devote the time until noon to their mail.
 Then comes the job of writing their sketch. Andy is the typist. He uses the touch system and is a speeder.
 Each script is four pages long. No one assists them in the writ ing, which continues until 3 or 4.
 After that there is a recreation period and at 5:30 central time the two are at WMAQ. Chicago. in plenty of time for their appear ance at 6 o'clock.
 There is no rehearsall Five min utes before the zero hour. they take glance through the days script. Just as the theme song is about to end, they enter their studio.
 The announcer. Bill Hay, is in another room with the musicians. Meanwhile he has been given the opening and closing introductions for the sketch, which also are written by Amos n Andy. Credit announcements are through a diff ferent source.
 While Hays voice has become as familiar as those of Amos n Andy he has no other part in the con- duct of the program.
