PHILADELPHIA. Pa. May 27-Elsie,
the infant daughter OF Edward Wilson,
whose home is at 1857 Sarah Street, en-
joys the distinction OF having been

year. 1t is such culture that creates the
demand for our plows, cu,tiyators and the
smaller farm tools.
The farmers of France have always been
noted for their thrift. They are good Gus
tomers because they can pay for what they
buy. Nearly every peasant, man or woman,
has money in the savings bank or in stocks
or hidden away somewhere in an old wooden
stocking.
When De Lesseps was pouring millions
into the Panama canal he was asked where
the money came from. He replied: From
the wooden stockings of France, where there
are still hundreds of millions more 1t
was these same stocking boards that paid
the cost of the Franco-German war, the
greatest payment ever made by one nation
to another. The cost of the war and Of
the indemnity amounted to more than
81, 0CO, 900, coo. The government Issued
bonds, and the peasant farmers of France
brought out their stockings and bought
them. Since then these stockings have
again become full, and, although France
has a national debt of almost $1,000, 600 900
it is held by its own people. They receive
the interest, and they have millions upon
millions to spend for what they want
whether it be furnished by Great Britain,
germany America or themselves. The
people live as well as any people in the
world. They dress well and spend we'll
and in wants they furnish a possible mar
ket ten times as great as all China, with
its 500, 900, 600 people.
Indeed, the French stand high among the
purchasing nations. Their imports amount
to over 81, 600, 900 a day, or to more than
$3.50, 600, 900 a year. This is over SiO0, 600
more than our total importations, and the
bulk Of the money goes to the European
nations, although our trade is slowly and
steadily increasing. II has gained about
SIS, GOO, COO in ten years, while the gain in
Great Britain and Ireland has been mir
teen times as much.
One reason for this is that the French are

American petroleum, agricultural machin
cry and cotton. As we came to the quay !
saw a ~well-known brand Of Akron cats ad-
v,rtised on the walls of a building thal
must have been a century old, and in walk
ing to the Hotel Frascati I passed an office
in which an American typewriter was click
ing away.
Later on l called at the consulate, and.
in company with Mr.. A.. NJ. Thackara, who
is Uncle Sans representative here, took a
drive of several miles, going from one dock
to another and stopping at the varioua
places where steamers were un'oadinn
American goods.
At the transatlantic quay we visited a
warehouse as large as any in the city OF
New York. 1t was packed to the top with
boxes and bales from different part Of tn
United States. / saw American plows un,
loaded from one of the Atlantic liners and
outside were reapers, mowers and all sorts
Of farm tools of well-known American
brands, There was a large shipment from
The Dcering Harvesting company Of Chi
cago; there were many Mccormick reapers,
a quantity Of wheels and tongues in sep
arate packages. and also some iron hay,
rakcs to be run by horse power.
At another dock | found the wharves GOV

were many thousands Of these, covering an
area OF several acres. They were lying on

ufactures as they do in making fancy hats
and dresses; they are a race of inventors,
and hence American novelties are not in
so great demand. They believe also in trade
protection, and the government contracts
often specify that the materials used shall
lie of French manufacture. Nevertheless,
the market is a most valuable one and one
that can be worked with great profit. Some
thing of what is now being done will be
seen as | take you through this city o.
Havre.
Havre is a typical French seaport. Its
streets are wide. its houses bright and
sunny, it has open places and gardens in
the heart of the town, and its docks the
great stone structures with all modern con
veniences for loading and discharging goods.
The town has existed since the days OF thu"
Romans, and it has always been an impor'-
ant commercial center. The United stat g
had "A consulate here as far back as 1900,
and today our consulate, situated On the
Place Gambetta, in the heart Of the city,
does about as much business as any other.
Havre now has about 100, 900 people. The
town lies right on the sea, with highlands en-
the east and the Seine on the west. In com
ing here from Southampton my first sight
was the abrupt cliffs on the left Of the city.
when we came a little nearer | could see
the masts of the ships inside the docks and
then the low buildings which border the
shore. There is a series Of fortifcations
with frowning cannon facing the sea which
guards the entrance, and you steam in be-
tween great stone quays or docks, just wide
enough for two Atlantic liners to pass in or
out at the same time.
Passing through we found ourselves in a
great basin which has five entrances to
other basins or enclosed docks. Indeed, the
docks extend on and on with gateways be
tween them, permeating almost every part
OF the city. There are many acres of them,
so made that the ships can sail right up to
the warehouses and discharge their goods.
and so that goods can be put upon the rail
roads or on the annals for all parts Of France.
There is one dock in the very heart OF
