Germany in l917-this 2s-year-old wife and mother is not completely optimistic about the future.
 She knows that the American Legion has been steadfastly passing resolutions and sending protests to the War Department, expressing their disapproval of pardon for Bergdoll, She has read letters which bitterly condemn her hus- band. She has heard men call Gro- yer Cleveland Bergdoll coward be- cause he ran away from jail, after he had been caught as a draft dodger, and escaped to Germany via Canada, and she realizes that his name has been received with misses and boos more than once.
 Fifth Child Born Here
 T came to America last May" explained Mrs. Bergdoll as she held her l8-month-old baby Irwin on her lap, because my husband wanted me to have our fifth child on American soil. The little girl was born some weeks ago, but I still do not know whether she is an American citizen or not.
 Some people tell me she is an American because she was born here, but others say no, because Grover was deprived of his citizen- ship and therefore neither I nor our other children have 0 country. I am now waiting to hear from Harrisburg and get the~ birth cer- tificate which will tell me the citi- zenship of our youngest.
 My three older children go to the Mann public school in Wynne- field, right near this house, but they find 1t difficult because they know only German and almost no English.
 Makes Plea Unaided
 "As for my husband, he wants to come back, as everybody knows.

this or that for me, but I think the case should be decided on its own merits.
 T can only hope they will let Grover come back. Many people ask me about Growers property, which is being held by the Alien Property Custodian. I do not know how much there is; I know only that we want to be American citi- zens and that Grover wants to live and work in this country.

Keep off the grass. It's probably too late this year to do anything about it, but next year we'd suggest that the Park Department move the football field up at Fulton Park out nearer Cooke street This season it's located right across the ned of the baseball dia- mond which is perfectly bare by the time the baseball season ends and football in. Some of the games young boys down into the hardpan and with thud that reechoed in the hills around about One young fellow also up after hard tackle with big gash in his head It had struck a rock.

HAVE YOU A WORD FOR IT? You may have a word for it, But then, what of thatl She's been referred to as obese While you'd just call her fat, She keeps busy at counting calories, At least so we have heard; You, no doubt, call it reducing But slimming is the word. A rose by any other name, says you, And you feel this rates grin; She's aiming for figure svelte But you'd just call it thin. For ladies of another day Were either thin or fat; But figure-atively we've advanced, My word! just fancy that.

Mrs. Bergdoll does not speak to her two other sons, Louis and Charles, since they changed their names to Berg son and Braun to avoid the no- toriety brought on the Bergdoll name by their brother.
 Ma" Bergdoll, as she is called, is now "A; Grover has always been her favorite son. She has been to Germany several times to visit him but she refuses, to date, to employ any legal talent to fight for him She declares that she has been fooled by lawyers before," in civil suits involving her large property holdings.

No corporate milkman can fix
&Lo o~;co which tho enoe,,~onr

No corporate milkman can fix
the price which the consumer
must pay.
In Washington this company
every day faces active and
resourceful competition. 1t
commands no favorable price
differential from the dairy
farmers.
If it tried to boost the going
doorstep figure, its competi-
tors would at once use the
fact to take away its GUS
toners.
No one company can rule the
milk routes, for no one COM
pany can control the price
paid to milk producers.
The dairy farmers in Maryland
and Virginia have a strong,
well managed organization.
1t controls approximately SO
per cent of the milk sold in
Washington and vicinity.
Because of strict health regula-
tons milk from other nearby
sections cannot be sold in
Washington. The corporate
milkman has no other choice
than to buy his milk from
the dairy farmers associa-
ton.
The plain and realistic fact is
that the dairy farmers name
the figure which the milkman
must pay.
True, he could assert his indie
pendence and refuse to pay
their price.
If he did, he would find that he
could not bring in milk from
other producing areas-and
meanwhile, competition
would be picking the bones
of his business.
