The Art Students League has once moro
thrown open its doors, and the classes are
nllng with rapiiity which promises one
OF the most successful seasons in its his

similar to that of last year, and the work
will proceed along much the same lines I'M
der the direction of the welI-known artists
who have in former years conducted the.
work of the league. This year, in addition
to the much desired New York scholarship
which is to send some member of the Iifn
classes to the Mecca of all good art stu
dents, the league authorities have decided
to give substantial prizes for the strongest
work done in the various classes-S2J to the

In reality every one of that vast population
is possible customer for American goods.
The people dress chiefly In c0ttons. and
nowhere can cotton be produced more
cheaply or better than in the United States.
They want cheap and good food. We can
raise it to better advantage almost than
any other nation. We take millions of dol
lars worth of their products every year
and the chances for profitable exchanges
are enormous beyond conception. As soon
as we have faster ships and closer c0nnec-

state of Washington a few weeks ago. and
while at Olympia l saw a ship about to
start out for Japan and China I had a
curiosity 10 see what its cargo was and
went on board. The captain took NE over
the vessel and I was amazed at the variety
Of American goods. There were railroad
ties from the Pacific coast which were TO
be used to build railroad in China. There
were hundreds of barrels Of flour billed for
Shanghai, and about one thousand barrels
Of beer from Milwaukee. There were corn
ptSl anu uj!tF meat prOunctS from chi
cago, sugar machinery from Philadelphia
steel and iron goods from Alabama and
bales of cotton cloth from North Carolina
In the cargo We're twelve hundred tons of
tobacco from Virginia and Kentucky for
Japan, as well many boxes Of cigarettes
from our southern states. There were
cases of bicycles and notions from New
England and altogether $3.50 tons of diff
ferent kinds of American goods. This was
only one ship load. and the ships are go
ing every week or 50 from each of the diff
ferent ports Of the United States and from
