Among the articles named are dolls, wooden toys, Christmas tree deco ations, mechanical toys, * kinos, scis sors, pocket and carving' knives, raz ors, manicure sets, etc. This firm writes us that it repre sents first-class German and Vienna concerns, and that the member of this firm who is on the way to this coun try will also have samples of high gra<??>. fancy articles made of ivory, j metal and leather, optical goods, etc., and that all these things will be ex hibited "to our American friends in New York, at a place to be fixed im mediately upon Mr. ?-'s arrival," and more of the same kind. German "toys?made by men who butchered Belgian and French babies! German Christmas tree decorations ?made by men Who violated every precept taught by the One whose bith Christmas celebrates! ?German cutlery, pocket "and car ving knives?made by German but chers who, with bayonet and sword committed unto death the helpless old men and women and children of Belgium and France!

Let those Christmas tree decora ions come, but . may those who buy 3iem'realize \hat they are contribute hg "tb the. prosperity of a nation which'sought definitely to destroy Dhris??nity and everything which Chriistmas typifies.: And yet there are people in Amer ica who have so little * remembrance >f the unspeakable crimes of Germany for v which -ho" word of repentance "Has ret been uttered, that they would clasp hands with the blood-dripping } hands of the German toy makers and the German Christmas tree decor? :ors and forget the 'dying wail of the murdered babies ahd the cry of hor -or'bf dishonored womanhood and the fact that opt of the development of "r-ade "Germany hopes tb -get ready 'o make another war upon civiliza tion.?Manufacturers Record The High School Annual. Charlton Walsh, the business man iger of the S?m*ter' High School Annu-. il, has issued the following statement: "We had every reason to expect that >ur Annuals would be delivered on the loth of June. To make assurance loubly sure,' the superintendent advis ed me to go up to Clinton and have a Personal interview " with our" pub ishers. 1" was very courteously re reived, and was told that our "annual iiad been sent in a most satisfac :ory condition and that we would iave no'"reason to fear that the annu ils would hot be delivered at the ap pointed time. I came home and nade my report to the great satis faction of everybody. Recently we have had several let ens and long distance telephone communications with our publishers. They are in great distress on account >f a strike that took place in the en graving department. They have as Hiredus that they are working 2.V per cent over time every-day, but there will necessarily be.a delay on account of this unlooked for strike. They have promised the delivery of the an nuals at. the earliest possible conven ience. I wish to say. in justice to the High School, that wc did everything that they requested us to do, exact ly on time, and wc are not in the slightest degree to blame for this unfortunate delay. We regret the de lay far more than auy individual sub scriber'could possibly regret it, and we assure our subscribers that the annuals will be delivered immediate ly upon Uxeir receipt." Respectfully submitted, Charlton Walsh, Business Manager.
