Total trade

One has only TO observe that Belgian exter-
nal trade is 81 times larger than that Of
America to see that IL Is no test at all of the
productive ability of the two nations. Ac-
cording to this exploded theory Of exports
measuring nations industrial wealth, Aus
tralasia is twice progressive as Germany
and five times much as Spain and Italy.
while Belgium Is three times as progressive as
America The thing Is manifest absurdity.

DIR. Bedford told of being called to the
Woodland hotel the night of the murder
and finding :he body of Mr.. Jackson ly-

A bullet had gone in one temple. straight
through the head. and out at the other
temple. The other bullet had struck in the
center of the hollow IN the throat just be-
low the Adams apple and bad gone straight
in. Either of these wounds. the coroner
said would cause almost instant death; any
way it would paraiyze the muscular system
and make looomotion impossible so that
Jackson could not possibly have taken a

SAY 1T HURTS THEIR BUSINESS.
Indiana Country Merchants Protest
Against Rural Free Mail
Delivery.

Anderson. Ind. Nov. 2.,.-Merchants at
Daleville. Albany. Eaton and Selma, the
four distributing points for the rural free
mail delivery experiments which are row
being made in Delaware county by the pos
tai authorities, are protesting against the
service. All four of these small towns were
formerly great trading centers. They de-
pended wholly upon the farmer business.
Since the free delivery has been put into
effect and the farmers get their mail de-
livered at their doors every morning and
evening the business in the towns has fall
en- off about 30 per cent. 1t was thought
at first that this decrease would only be
temporary, but it has been found that in
asmuch as they do not have to go to the
postoffice the farmers stay at home until
Saturday and then go to the larger points.

1t is claimed that the service will result
in several merchants being forced out of
business in the small towns.
The farmers, on the other hand. are very
much pleased with the service. They claim
that 1t far exceeds all of their anticipations

STOPS WASTE OF NATURAL GAS
Indiana Law Filming Well Owners for

VinheII.

Anderson, Ind. Nov. 30.-Judge Mcclure
yesterday handed down the most important
decision yet rendered in Indiana on nat
ural gas waste. in which he fully estab-
fishes the constitutionality and application
of natural gas laws which make we'll own
ers finable for 500 for every ten days
waste. This will put at least tempor-
airy end to the movement TO call Il special
session of the legislature to enact new gas
laws.
All over the gas belt the gas is being
wasted at a shameful rate. In many vicin-
tiles the waste exceeds the local consump-
ton. At the present decrease gas will be
entirely gone in n year or two.
