FRENCH EDITOR SEES ;i DESPERATE NEED IN GERMAN SITUATION (By Associated Prss PARIS, Dec. 9. Something of the seriousness of Germany's economic condition, from a French viewpoint, Is told by Jean Herbette, foreign editor of Le Temps, now studying the situation in Germany. ' Members of the middle class, whose

stationary incomes spoil poverty in he rise of prices and the workers, are said by him to "b particularly unhappy." Fortunately, he adds, farmers are prosperous. "There is cruel misery," he writes, "in the homes of workers who have many children. This condition is not limited to families of the unemployed, of whom there are 40u,000 in Germany. It is characteristic of the present crisis that a workman cannot manage to feed and clothe his family, even when he works at relatively high wages. Clothing Beyond Reach. "I have been in homes where the father got 200 to 250 marks a week. When he must feed five or six children,, it is destitution. To buy bread, fats and potatoes, even in insufficient luantities, ho must spend 80 marks a week or more. Rent, gas and a little oal absorb part of the remainder. How can the family be clothed and rhod? Even a poor suit costs 1,500 marks, a pair cf shoes 150 to 200 marks. Linen has become almost unattainable luxury." In Berlin, M. Herbette visited modest homes with welfare workers. "We saw," he sray, "in the homes of hardworking people who did not ask aid, pallet-beds and ra.s, so miserable that my companion could hardly believe his eyes. There are children three and four years old that their mothers carry in their arms, actually vrapped in rags when they go out, because they have no clo'hes. One hears little compla'nt, however. The habit of

privation produces a sort of torpor and

no one seems concerned except wiiu finding a little something to eat." "In these conditions," he concludes, "unhealthy pronneanda has free play," hut there is nothing in them and there

must be found some policy to meet the needs for "the interests of peace nre the interests of France." I

UNION CITY TIMES IS VETERAN PAPER IN RANDOLPH COUNTY WINCHESTER, Ind., Dec. 9. In December, 1877. 43 years ago, George W. Patchell, purchased the Union City Times, which had been running

since 1S63, from John Commons, and has been the manager ever since that time. At the time of the purchase the plant consisted of an old worn out Washington hand-press, small jobber, with about 40 fonts of old job type and three cases of body type which the paper was set from by hand. Mr. Patchell by hard work and good business methods, paid off the indebtedness of the plant within three years, and the first improvement was the installation of a Gottrell cylinder steam press, the first power printing press to be installed in Randolph county, this was followed by the addition of many new machines as they were invented in the printer's craft, which included the first type setting machine in the county. Is Veteran Journalist. During Mr. Patchell's successful career as editor and owner of the "Times" he has seen 26 newspaper

editors come into Union City, and try J 4 r min ntnAra nrltli ttiA rocxiil f that

each one quit the business. The result now is that he Btands alone not only in Union City, but in tke county, aa being the owner of the only daily newspaper in this county. On Thanksgiving day, this year, Mr. Patchell purchased the equipment of the Union City Eagle, which passed out of existence, last May. The addition of this stock, with the already fine equipment of the Times, makes this

plant one of the best equipped newspaper plants in Indiana, and able to handle all work that goes into making of a modern country newspaper. The Times is a Republican paper. The building in which the Times is located is owned by Mr. Patchell, and is modern in every respect.

Any imitation of a Vktrola (at practically the same price as a genuine Victrola)

It is very difficult for anyone but an expert to tell the difference between a 50c imitation pearl and a genuine pearl of the same size wortb $500, therefore one might buy the 50c imitation because it looks like the genuine article and this is all any pearl has to do. But, when you can get a genuine Victrola with its repertoire of more than 6,000 Victor Records, for the same price that you would pay for some other instrument that only looks like a Victrola, there can remain no question of Victor supremacy.' The proof is in the hearing. Come in any time and we will gladly play any music you wish to hear. WHY BUY AN IMITATION?
