TRADE WITH CANADA.

EXPORTS from the United States to
Canada show larger growth IN the
current fiscal year than those TO any
other of the important countries Oh
the world. For the ten months end
Ing with April, for which the Bureau
of Statistics has just prepared de-
| tailed record of the commercial move
ments. the exports to Canada amount
to 1741a million dollars, against Ivy
million in the corresponding months
of last year, and for the month OF
April alone, % million dollars, against
Is million in April of last year. The
increase in exports for the ten months
in question is thus As million dollars
while the total increase in exports to
all parts of the world during the same
period is but 55 million, the figures in
each case relating to exports of do
nestle merchandise. To France the
export figures show for the period in
question an increase of million dol
lars, to Germany IL million, to Ar
gentina 512 million, to Mexico 6h
million, to Australia 2 million and TO
Canada, as above indicated, 40 mil
lion dollars.
This increase in exports to Canada
occurs largely in manufactures. Coal
shows an increase of about 2 million
dollars; cotton, about million wheat,
about l y million; horses, about half
million; and furs and fur skins, about
half million: but aside from these
the bulk of the increase occurs in
manufactured articles. Agricultural
implements show an increase from II
million dollars to 21z million; auto
mobiles, from l million to million;
cotton manufactures, from Y million
to "a Million and lumber, from 212
million to nearly million. During
the same period scientific instruments
increased one million; wire, over II
million: builders hardware, e mil
lion; and books, maps and engravings,
about u million; while many other
manufactures show smaller increases,
though in many cases the percentage
of gain is large. Meats show but
slight increase and in some cases a
decline in quantity. Mineral oils
show in most cases a decline, though
lubricating and heavy paraffin oils
show a slight increase.

A former Mahaska county school
teacher has undoubtedly established
a record that caaGot he excelled. In

and in maintaining perfect health
through the tedious and exciting work
of teacher the following showing is
surely remarkable:
Editor Herald: Some time ago
you published an item about Miss
Nancy Frey, of Sigourney, telling of
her unusual record as a teacher.
Here is my record: have taught is
three-month terms, have not reached
my seventeen mile stone, have never
missed a days school on account of
my own health. ! hold first grade
certificates from every county super

Mistakes so easily gain general
circulation that all possible care
should be taken to avoid them. For
example, it was recently asserted that
in the famous Durant case at San
Francisco, the pastor of the church
had confessed on his death bed, five
years after the tragedy, that he COM
mitted the two murders, and that Du-
rant was innocent. The statement was
untrue: nothing of the kind occurred,
and nobody knows how such a story
was started.
