Country's finances must be on q
sound basis and In good running order
when the exporting of $1,000, 900 of
gold to France to pay for the Panama
canal and $4,000, 600 to the Panama
government within few days will cre-
ate hardly ripple on the surface In the
money centers Of our country. This
moreover shows that the resources Of our
country are magnificent. Even 10 the
production of the yellow metal It.
SELF the currency OF the nations, the
United States holds high vantage ground
which greatly aids In a time when ex-
traordinary calls are made like that Of
the past weeks. Our country is one Of
the largest gold producing areas In the
world. For the last six years the esti-
mated annual production of gold in the
United States has been from 5000 900
to $4,000, 600, Moreover, during the
seven years just past the balance of
trade has been In our favor to the extent
that the yellow metal has been imported
here TO the amount of about 5000, 900, 900.
Therefore it may be readily seen that our
country could do much larger business
in the way of exporting gold and not
seriously disturb financial affairs.

The greater part of the desert of Sa-
hara Is from 60OO to 5000 feet above
the level of the ocean. The desert is
not rainless, but showers cover 1t with
grass for q few weeks in the year,
large flocks and herds being mainly
upon its borders, and the oases are de-
pressions In which water can be col

Just now, owing to certain unsatisfactory

and disposition to be apprehenslve on

yet DO occasion for this feeling, and the

Dun's Review of last weeks business
states: "Interruption of industrial
progress by the holiday, labor conflicts
and inclement weather again produced a
somewhat unsatisfactory trade situation.
Yet the money market Is easy, and ac-
commodation readily obtained In legiti-
mate business channels. Liabilities of
mercantile failures are comparatively
small, indicating that most concerns
have prepared for quiet season and are
able to withstand period Of diminished
sales and tardy payments. This conser-
vative attitude is the fundamentally
strong feature Of the situation, and when
business revives there will be no pres
sure to dispose OF heavy stocks OF unde-
sirable goods. More manufacturing
plants have reduced hours or wages, and
several strikes have added to the army
of unemployed. Somewhat contradic-
tory dispatches are received from the

LAFOLLETTE CHOSEN
CARRIES WISCONSIN FOR GOV
ERNOR BY At LEAST Fifty
THOUSAND.

Milwaukee, Nov. 10.-The result Of
the election in Wisconsin shows that
Roosevelt ran ahead of every ticket
and carried the state by plurality
estimated at between 10000 and 75,-
900; that Governor Lafollette has been
reelected by plurality of about So
900 and that the congressional COM
plexion remains unchanged from two
years ago. The legislature, which is
to elect a. United States senator to
succeed Joseph V. Quarles, is largely
Republican and the question of
whether Wisconsin shall have a pri-
mary election law has carried by a
safe majority. One Of the surprises
in the election was the big increases
in the vote OF the Social Democratic
party. Four years ago that party
polled 4,458 votes in Milwaukee coun-
ty; two years ago 10,704 and in this
election 1920. The Social Demo
Gratis elected four assemblymen and
one senator to the legislature.

PLURALITY OF 10000
DUNN FOR GOVERNOR OF
MINNESOTA.

. st. Paul, Nov. 14.-With complete
returns in from more than sixty coun'
ties outside of Ramsey and Hennepin
John A. Johnson maintains a good lead
over Dunn and his plurality will be
slightly above 10000. The official can
vass Of the state vote will not be made
until Dec. 20, but it is not expected
that this canvass will change the fig.
ures to any great extent.
It is just as apt to increase Mr..
Johnson's lead as it is to reduce it.
Roosevelt carried the state by nearly
$4,000 and the Republicans elected
all of the nine congressman, Buchanan
in the Sixth securing the smallest plu'
rality, about 5000. The legislature is
overwhelmingly Republican.

Wisconsin special from Hayton, Wis,
says James Raleigh lost his life in a
fire which destroyed Eckes & Foh's
barns, together with thirty-six horses.
When the fire broke out two dances
were in progress in halls nearby and
many persons had narrow escapes
from death in their endeavor to leave
the halls, which were thought to be
burning. The whole village was at
one time threatened. Raleigh lost his
life in his endeavor to liberate the
horses.

ticns on a large scale. Field Marshal
Oyama has received heavy reinforce

possession of Mukden.
The Japanese are showing particu-
lar activity on their right flank, as if
they were contemplating a turning
movement from that direction.
General Kuropatkin has fortified
lis positions along the Shakhe river
and as he seemingly is prepared to
accept battle he doubtless has made
dispositions to block flanking opera
ton. According to the opinion OF
the military authorities here his left

Attention
Farmers.

Why remain II. the North and
stay in doors six IA onths in the
year consuming what you raise
the other six months?
Go South where you can work
out doors every month in the
year, and where you are p-oduc-
ing something the year round.
Ii you are a stock raiser you
know your stock are now ''eat-
ing their heads off, and besides,
have to be- protected from the
rigors of winter by expensive
shelter.
Economical stock feeding re-
quires the combination of both
flesh-forming and fat-forming
foods in certain proportions.
Alabama and Florida produce in
abundance the velvet bean and
cassava. the fist q flesh produ-
Ger, and the latter a fat produ-
Ger, and they are the cheapest
and best fattening materials
known to the world.
More money can be made and
with less labor, in general farm
ing, fruit and berry growing,
and truck gardening along our
road in the South than in any
other section in the Union.
