GERMANY IS ADVISED TO ACCEPT DEMANDS Birmingham, Bngland.—The British premier’s advice to Germany is to ac- cept the bill for reparations as formu- lated by the @upreme council. “Our claim is a righteous one and ‘we must enforce it,” he declared in a speech here, He replied to the speech in the reichstag by Dr. Walter Simons, in which the foreign minister declared that the reparations plan could not be accepted by Germany as a basis for negotiations. “A great part of this speech,” the pre- mier said, “was based on a complete misconception of what has been done at Paris. Such misconception could be cleared up in the London conference. If a full bill were sent Germany ac- cording to the Versailles treaty she would be compelled to accept it, but I fail to see how that would improve matters and I advise Dr. Simons to take the Paris bill. “Tf he has any alternative proposals the allies are prepared to consider them, so long as the proposal repre- sents a bona fide effort to liquidate the liabilities of Germany.” (ermany, he said, had not yet been taxed to the level of Great Britain ana France and it was intolerable that a country held responsible for the war and which had suffered no damage should have a lighter burden than her victims, BRIEF GENERAL NEWS Representatives in the Iowa legisla- ture vote their opinions on rol! call now with their fingers, using an elec- trical device.

WHITTEMORE (@, 1920, by McClure Newspaper Byndicate.) Miss Charlotte dropped her work in her lap and ceased to rock. Dressed fh lavender negligee sue sat in the ttle sewing room on the north side of the house crocheting. It was the Sist of July with the thermometer registering 94 degrees in the shade. No wonder Miss Charlotte was finding difficulty in concentrating her mind on her pattern. “Oh,” how I wish I had an ice cream, she sighed. “But it’s Sadie’ afternoon off, and surely nobody els wants to go out in this terrible heat.” Mechanically she resumed her work. “Oh, Elizabeth,” she called “Are you going down town?” “Would you be willing to bring me some ice cream?” she asked. Elizabeth smiled her sweetest, “I'll be glad to,” she said, ['m going over to Grace's to tea and can’t promise when I'll be coming home.” Elizabeth repeated her offer, but it was declined. So in all the vivacity and gaiety of her youth she skipped down the street, while Miss Charlotte lazily picked up her crocheting. “Three open, two closed and three open,” she murmured to herself, but | her hook failed to keep pace with her counting. Suddenly an idea came to her. Laying her work in the basket. “I'll ask Mildred to bring it,” she ex- claimed as she reached for the phone. “Give me 43,” she called. “Hello— Miss Corey? I'm simply roasted up here on the hill and am dying for an ice cream. Would you bring it up when you come. . . . The last duy of the month? Why, so it is, Mil- dred. I didn't think about your work- ing late tonight. That's too bad... . Thank you just the same. I'll get along somehow.” Resignedly she leaned back in her rocking chair. Suddenly she was roused from her napping by a knock at the back door, On the piazza stood a little boy about nine years old. “Want to buy some blueberries?” he asked. “They're high bush and just picked.” “Won't you come in?” she asked kindly. “IT can use a quart, I guess. Hew much are they?” “Twenty-five.” “You look dreadfully hot,” she con- tinued, as she brought a small dish. “Did you have to go far for the ber- ries?” “Yes'm, way down to Beaver Pond’s where the best berries grow. "Twas some hot walking up to town, believe me.” Miss Charlotte went to the pantry again and returned with a larger dish. “Do you want to let me buy what ber- ries you have,” she asked, “and Tu have Sadie put them up tomorrow?” The little boy grinned all over his face as he filled his measure again and again. As he picked up his empty pail, Miss Charlotte had a clever thought. “Would you like to do an errand for me downtown?" she asked. “Sure; what Is it?’ Miss Charlotte counted out the change while she explained. “I want some ice cream. Go to Lane’s and ask for a pint box of dry-packed Harle- quin, Can you remember all that?” “Sure,” again came the prompt re- ply as he repeated the errand before starting out the door, Not five minutes later the door- bell rang and to her amazement Miss Charlotte saw Elizabeth. “I've brought you the ice cream,” said the girl. “I came home early as I hated to think of you sitting here all alone.” “You dear child,” sald Miss Char- lotte. “You'll stay, of course, and help me eat it, won't you?” and she has- tened to set the table with her pretty glass dishes. Just as they had begun to eat, the doorbell rang again. Greatly amused by this time, Miss Chariotte ushered in Gertrude Corey carrying a small box in her hand. “Mildred told me you wanted some ice cream,” she explained. “You darling!” exclaimed Miss Charlotte. “Elizabeth has brought me some, too. Won't you come in and join us? We've got lots more than we can eat.” So Gertrude sat down to the table, delighted to eat with her elders. It seemed only a moment later when they were interrupted by a knock at the back door. “That's my lttle blueberry boy,” Miss Charlotte excused herself. “He's brought me some cream, too,” She laughed as she confronted the boy with the package, “Well, my lit- tle man, it looks as though you would have to eat all that cream yourself, for I have had two boxes brought me already.” The child's eyes grew as big as saucers. “Honest?” he asked doubt- fully. “Of course. Come in, and see,” and she opened the screen door. The boy Peeped into the dining room and was satisfied. “Can I take it home to ma?” was his immediate question. “She likes ice cream, too.” “You may do soything you Uke with it," Miss Charlotte smiled. “I have all I want here.” Again the little chap picked up his empty pail. “T'll bring you some more berries to- morrow,” he said, “Goodness me, not before Saturday,” she called as she laughingly went back to her guests, ( hope to be able to afford | nice confection. ‘Te KITCIIEN CAB (@, 1920, Western Newspaper Union.)
