he looked upon it as a personal attack but we had no thought or mr schmidt when we criticised the picture we believe he is sincere in his eltort to put on clcrn shows but no one suggested that he seleced the picture for the board of trade had ihp slfcmnn been left t him we believe there would have befn a dilternt picture shown however the row was on law bones erhckd arid lontrie wagged from

the letter they are sold at so much each not by the dozen and the price is 220 milliarden marks apiece our townsman mr betz was born in germany but lias lived here in this locality ror sixtyone years so that he is numbered with our very oldest inhabitants he is or the opinion that the allied nations made a mistake when they stopped the war at ijie sage they did for what germany needed was a little or the destruction and punishment which that country meted out to france and belgium the german mfltnry machine must be broken when it will be found that the german peo ple would shun war just as our people do here in canada it required 220 milliarden marks to pay the postage on the letter mr betz received just what that means wo dont know the word milliarden is nnl in the english dictionary
