duly chaperoned. A groom, in the full
livery for horseback, follows his mis-

much in the repair kit, medicine chest

presence. In default of groom, maid
in a trim dark gown, with wide leather
belt, may ride after mademoiselle. And
monsieur, who accompanies her, must
remember one or two points. He must
ride on the left side of his companion, to
keep his right hand free for assistance.
He must precede her around corners,
and he must ride between her and any
street traffic if possible. Should he be

prominent New York physicians point

as saying that the contestant comes
out with diletion of the heart, with
cerebral exhaustion and almost total ex-

system. Physically and mentally he has
had a shock from which he may never

EXPORT TRADE INCREASING.

Grand Rapids Press.
Athwart the black and lowering
clouds which overcast the horizon
viewed by the calamity press there is
an occasional ray OF light. Unfortun-
ately the editors of those sheets are so
wrapped in gloom that they are un-
able to see these little riffs, and accord
ingly il is not surprising that they
should have omitted from their tele-
graph columns of the Sth inst. the fol-
lowing from Philadelphia:
The volume OF business transacted at
this port during the past six months
has been phenomenally large. The
exports of petroleum were n, 1919, O9J
gallons more than the corresponding
period of last year; the corn exports
were IL, 000, 900 bushels and wheat ship
ments 200, 900 bushels greater than
during the first SIX months of 1896.
Still further increase of business, with
corresponding nigh freights, seems
assured. Shipping men predict an era
of prosperity at this port such as has
never been known in the past. Every
thing in the shipping trade, with the
possible exception of the coastwise bus
mess, is booming, and therefore it Is
found impossible, in view of the antic-
ipated large movement OF cotton from
the south, to get British ship owners
even to name figures for fall loading OF
wheat The cotton trade will keep W
until late October and then will come
the November corn. From the present
outlook steamships for November load
ing will be able 20 demand high figures.
The conditions at the port of Phila'
delphia are not materially different
from those prevailing at other ports
New York alone notes a stationary Oh
falling business, and this is due to the
excessive terminal and dockage
charges which have driven business tc
other ports.
Such reports as this not only show
what is being done, but are certain
induces of the approach of prosperity
The Press has been insisting for the
past two years that when prosperity
came again to this country it woulc
come through the expansion OF oul
foreign commerce, and that in fac
prosperity could come in no other way

its moderately favorable reading OF
the business indications for the past

credit than if, like some other journals.
