COST OF LIVING Comes High in Germany— A. F. Thieme of Union Township Gets Letter FROM HIS COUSINS Had Aided Them When News Came of Condition Pound of Pork $5 to $6 We sometimes think the cost of living |in America is rather high, but what if you Imd to live in Germany, and other European countries, where articles of necessity are many times higher than here. A. F. Thieme, of Union township has just received a letter from his cousin in Wehlen, Germany in which they give a few prices that are astounding. Mr. Thieme assisted his cousins, after he had received information of their almost starving condition. The fetter follows: City of Wehlen, State of Sachsen, Germany, October 21, 1921. Dear Cousin Frederick: The money for the check you so kindly sent us was received yesterday, and we ask you accept our hearty thanks for your liberality. We will now be able to purchase our winter fuel and potatoes. Dear Frederick, you can not imagine the horrible condition we were in and from which you have saved us, and we pray daily, that God may bless and reward you and your loved ones for your liberality. You cannot imagine the high prices we have to pay for the necessaries of life and I will name a few of them that you may see conditions as they exist here: One hundred pounds of coal cost us today $5.00 plus $1.25 taxes. One hundred pounds of potatoes cost last week $22.50 with prices advancing daily. The farmers are holding their products thinking they will receive better prices towards spring time, and we look for potatoes to be one half higher in spring, say nothing of wearing apparel and shoes which we are not able to buy because of high prices and we wonder what will become of us, may God help us. Masons and carpenters receive wages at the rate of $2.50 per hour or S2O a day of 8 hours or $l2O a week. Five hundred dollars a month and a small house of three rooms with cellar would cost you approximately $25,000 to build —causing a house shortage in Dresden to amount equal to 32,000 families and conditions are terrible. A few more items of cost of things necessary to living for instance: One pound of pork cost from 20 to 24 marks or 5 to 6 dollars. We, of course, cannot buy any meat nor milk and butter—we must be satisfied with dry bread and potatoes. Chicken or goose meat three to four dollars per pounds; oats cost 55 to 60 dollars per (measure weight not given). In closing we once more thank you for your noble hearted support, for without it we don’t see how we could exist and we pray God’s blessing upon you and your family. May you keep well. Yours, Ida and Paul Schneider. FOR THEMRMERS Items of Interest to the Farmers of Adams County. What the Accredited Herd Plan is Not Necessary to Have Pure-Bred Herd. Some farmers in this county have the mistaken impression that in order to receive the government test for tuberculosis, his cattle must be purebred. This is not the case. The government will test cows for any man, be they pure-breds, grades or scrubs. All you need to do is sign up the agreement to use reasonable methods for keeping your herd clean, the main requirements being that you do not allow your cattle to run with untested cattle and do not buy untested cows and bring them into your herd. A herd will be accredited when upon recognized tests by a state or federal inspector it is found to be free from tuberculosis on two annual or three semi-annual (six months) tests. Owners of such tuberqulosia-free herds receive a certificate issued by the bureau and state live-stock sanitary authorities. It is good for one year unless revoked because of some misdemeanor of the owner. The accredited herd enables theowner to ship animals interstate without additional testing. Send tor an agreement. In the Middle Ages, the law required that 200 feet on ell her side of the road hud to bo cleared of bushes which might shelter highway robbers.
