STILL FEELS PANIC.
ast Year, rs n Whole, In Germany.
said to he mi Of OverprOduc-
tIOn and High Prices.

Reviewing Germany's commercial
record for the past year, Consul Gem
eral Frank H. Mason, al Berlin, in a
report to the state department, de-
clares that while a few branches Of
manufacture and trade experienced a
partial recovery, the year as a whole
belonged to the period Of o~verproduc-
ton, collapse and panic, which began
in the summer Of 1900, and has caused
the condition still prevalent, wherein
prices of food and raw materials are
above all logical relation to the market
value of finished products.
Bank dividends and balances, the re-
port says, show a decided improvement
for 1909 over the previous year, and
textile industries, especially the wool
branch. also make a favorable show
ing. Depression is noted in the iron
and steel situation, though this in
some degree has been relieved by heavy
shipments to the United States during
the autumn and winter months.
Referring to German trade with the
United States, the consul general calls
attention to thenotable increase in the
German exports to this country,
amounting to S14,s7s. 40, distributed
through 25 consular districts.

BEYOND ALL COMPARISONS.

One of the many factors contrIbu-
ting to the remarkably rapid and solid
growth Of st. Louis is the marvellous
development of the Southwest and
other territory tributary to that city
in all lines Of trade. In 1904 there will
be held the greatest Worlds Fair in
the world. The presidential campaign
viii also take place. TO keep inform
ed with the whole world you should
subscribe at once for that peer Of
newspaper, The Twice-a-week St.
Louis Republic. 1t is indispensable to
the farmer, merchant or professional
man. It's telegraphic and cable SER
vice excels that OF any other paper.
It prints the news fully; not imagina-
tive occurrences, but domestic and
worldwide facts. It is Democratic in
politics, but distinctly a national
newspaper and family journal. The
subscription price of S1.OO gives you
two papers each week, 1O4 papers a
year.

Pine arre Tread from Finland.

Members Of the Finnish Relief So

most the only food that can be OBJ
tanned by their starving countrymen

pine trees and looks like brown sand
stone. 1t is almost as hard as stone,
and no one would ever suspect that it
could be eaten. Its only redeeming
feature is that it lasts for years in
as palatable condition as when fresh.
