assignee or endorser or holder shall have
received the same for bona fide and
legal consideration, without notice of any
usury in the creation or subsequent as
signment thereof.
g. If any person shall exact, directly
or indirectly, for the loan of any money,
goods or chattels, to be paid in money

TRADE OF THE UNITED STATES WIN
FoREIoN NATIONS. - Washington, Jan.
12.-The following is an official state
nent Of the aggregate trade Of this coun-
try with foreign nations for the last year;
Great Britain, imports 1925, 900, 600,
exports S175, 900, 600; France, imports
$4,000, 900, exports S44, 900, 900 ;
East and West Indies, Brazil China and
Venezuela, imports S95, 600, 600, exports
1922, 000,0 600. From this it will be
seen that the balance Of trade is heaviest
against us with nations that do not COM
pete with our industry.
AS it has been stated, to the prejudice
of Secretary Toucy, that scarcely any
United States vessels are sent to Norfolk
it is but just to say that not less than sis
teen have been fitted or repaired there
within the past year.

is to the interest Of the farming community to

in an improper manner, and il more frequently
occurs, in the shipment and moving of ma
chincry, that some Of the apparently insignii-
cant parts get out Of order, which, by the I'M
practical, is often unobserved, and when OBJ
served, they cannot obyiate hepce the acci-
