during which time he has visited
eight European countries, viewed
many world famous scenes and had a
most wonderful time, D. A. Donofrio
of Phoenix is supposed to be on the
Atlantic ocean, homew-ard bound.
During his absence in foreign coun

Mv trio as a whole has been very
pleasant and interesting, notwith
standing the British Isles was the
only place where I could speak the
laneuane. The British Empire has a
hard task before her and I am afraid
she has reached the height of her
power. Holland made a world of
money during the war but lost nearly
all of it by purchasing merchandise
in large amounts when the German
mark was worth 5 cents and over, and
now it is worth less than half a cent.
Belgium Is working hard, trying to
rebuild what was destroyed and is
doing excellent work; far better than
France, and in a very few years there
will be very little trace of the terrible
destruction that the World war dirt.
"France is Inclined to be lazy.
While there aro a great number who
work hard from early to late and
are accomplishing wonders, yet the
greater number take life extremely
easy, hanging around wine shops.
cafes, coffee houses and amusement
places. A strict discipline would do
wonders for France and her people.
Italy is in a similar position, but I am
inclined to feel that she is far more
industrious. The women- of Italy,
France and Belgium are hard work
ers, more so, generally speaking, than
are the men: however, some of the
men really do work hard and Put in
long hours.
"The exchange is proving a hard
ship on all countries, the United
States included, with the exception of
Germany, and she is reaping future
benefit of the highest degree. Spain
made a great deal if money out of
the war and fortunately ehe has
practically all of it in her country.
She is doing a world of construction
work. Both men and women work
hard. Everybody seems to be busy,
like the cotton picking time inthe
Salt River valley in 1918, 1919 and
1920.
"Spain left a good impression on
me for the activity that my eyes
were able to observe, although I will
say that the general health and dress
of her people are not as good by far
as in the other countries I have vis

with my own eyes. There is no doubt
'many will not agree with me. My

5 marks, or 1 4-5. cents in U. S.
money. I saw some hand over S

give a larger tip than the cost of the
article. Today I had an official of
the American Express company, with
his wife, to dinner. The total cost
of the dinner was 175i marks, or 70
cents or less. But if I had not had
V. S. money the 175Vi marks would

the wheat and straw high in the air.
The wind takes the straw away and
the grain falls to the ground. Very
