THE UNITED STATES COMPETITORS.

| While Great Britain buys most of hei
| foodstuffs of the United States 1t is
pointed out by writer in the New
| York Tribune that the British colonies
are becoming strong competitors with
! this country in the matter of British
food supplies. Australia Is sending
larger quantities of meats to the moth
er country annually and England is
yearly growing to depend more upon
Canada for brcadstuffs. OF late the
South American countries have entered
into the competition and are trading
tEeir foodstuffs to England in exchange
for her manufactured articles, largely
on account of the neglect of the United
States to cultivate and improve the
trade opportunities offered it by South
America.
Thus, in the first quarter Of the pres
ent year. Argentina sent 10 Great Brit
ain more than 100000 worth of live
cattle for food. That was small
amount compared with our s6,000,000 or
more In the same period. But 1t was u
good beginning, Argentina having sent
none at all in 1902 and 1901, while our
own exports in these three years have
been steadily and considerably declin-
ing. The same may be said of exports
OF live sheep OF which Argentina in the
first quarter of this year sent more
than 100000 worth. against. our $780,
600 worth, the latter a much smaller
amount than in either Of the two pre-
ceding years. Argentine sales of wheat
in the same three months were nearly
100000. or more than one-fourth of
what our own had fallen to: her sales
of Indian corn were more than $780,
600; of fresh beef, S2000.001, or nearly
third of ours, and of fresh mutton
more than S3,000,000. In other lines of
goods. too, Argentina is making prog
ress. In the same three months she
sent to Great Britain between two and
three times aS much taliow and stear-
Inc as we did, towit, more tam S650,000
worth, and more than ten times as
much linseed, or s1,500,o0o worth.
The growth of South American trade
with Europe should besti. this country
to the cultivation Of commercial init
macy with it's neighbors on the south.
Every dollars worth of South. Ameri-
can money carried away by the tramp
steamers of Great Britain is an added
argument for steamship lines connect
ing the American continents and fa-
voring trade relations. Rec procal trade
between the United States and the
Latin American countries is certain to
be beneficial to both ana should be ia
vored by reciprocal treaties.

FOUND HIDDEN SILvERWARE.

While working in the field on his
fathers place just north of the incor :
poration Tuesday morning. Irving We'll
Ter, the sixteen year. old son of A. w.
Weller, made a valuable find Passing
a shock OF hay that had been under
water most of the spring he noticed a
small rope, and wanting one he took
hold of it but found it was fastened to
something. Upon investigation he
found grain sack hid under the hay.
The sack contained coat and inside
the coat neatly wrapped in four napkins
he found about 125 pieces of silverware
The lot consisted of knives and forks
teaspoons, tablespoons, eight fruit
knives, neatly decorated and made in
Germany, child's fork and spoon
with the inscription Alma 1889" en-

venir spoons with engravings repre-
senting Columbus upon his return to
Spain after discovering America, the
battleship Maine and the national
capitol at Washington. 1t was all of
the best ware, most of it bearing Rog-
er's trade mark. Besides the silver.
ware there was about twenty-five cheap
metal spoons.
The outfit looks as tho 1t had be-
longed to hotel as there was variety
of designs and patterns. Just how long
the treasure had been In it's hiding

the time by talking With her daughter.

She thought deeply, every atom In

lem which tore her between love and
duty, devotion to the cause OF the
South and those other appeals, which,
finding lodgment in her heart, moved
her so profoundly. She wrestled with
the question as to where her duty lay

''Yes, If he can"
Fanny Glen was a picture of terror
plainly apparent in spite of her vali-
ant effort to conceal her feelings. Her
agitation was so overwhelming, her
anxiety so pronounced, that even on
the hypothesis of an ardent affection
for Sempland, Lacy was completely at
a loss to account for her condition.
What could it mean? But he had no
tie to speculate upon 1t. The min
utes were flying by.

There is nothing for me to do there.
