FOREIGN COMMERCE OF U. S.

A picture of the foreign commerce
of the United States during the year
just closing is presented by the bureau
of statistics, Department of Commerce
and Labor, in teh figures for the
month of November and the IL months
ending with November. They show
the imports and exports by great
groups. made up by combining into
separate classes the various articles
of a similar character, such as food
stuffs. manufactures. materials for use
in manufacturing etc These IN
months figures, accompanied as they
are by the figures for the single month
| of November, enable close estimate
of the business for the full year, since
lit may be assumed that the December
| Figures will in most cases approximate
lthose for November and that by the
addition of the November figures to
Ithose for the IL months reasonably
accurate estimate Of the business for
the full year which ends with the cur
trent week may be obtained
Imports for the II months ending
with November, 1911, were valued at
l,S921a million dollars, against l ,426
million in the corresponding months
of 1910 OF this total of ,392A mil
lion dollars worth of imports, 32415
were manufactures ready for use
against S4412 million in the same
months of last year. fall of 20 mil
lion dollars. This decrease occurred
chiefly in manufactures of iron and
steel, manufactures of wood, and man
Iufaetures of silk. Manufactures for
further use in manufacturing imported
show practically no change when COM
pared with the corresponding months
of last year Crude materials for use
in manufacturing show a decided fall
ing off, being for the IL months of 1911
459 million dollars, against 49S million
in the same months of 1910, the de-
crease of "a million occurring chiefly
in India rubber, hides ad skins, and
wool Foodstuffs partly or wholly
manufactured show decline of Is
million dollars, the II months figures
being 166 million, against 1S1 million
last year The decline occurred chief
ly in sugar, of which the quantity i'm
ported is materially less than last
year. Crude foodstuffs imported show
marked increase, the II months fig
ures of 1911 being 1882 million dol
lars, against 134 million in the same
months of last year. This is largely
due to an advance in the price of cof
fee, of which the stated value of the
II months imports was 50 2-3 million
dollars in 1911, against 60 million in
1910, though the increase in quantity
was very slight from 677 million
pounds in II months of 1910 to 697
million in a like period of 1911, the ad-

The unexpected at last has happen
ed, and the many friends Of John Cal
vim Parks viii be glad to learn that he
was married last Saturday, December
2Srd. to Miss Della o'Bryan, of War
rensburg, Mo-, at the home of the
brides parents.
They announce that they will be at
home to their friends in Chelsea after
January 1st.
We do not attribute the recent spell
of bad weather to the fact that John
got married. but something great must
surely have happened tomake him turn
from his ways Of single life to that of
the married state. John has lived in
Chelsea since Chelsea was big enough
to be a town, and is well known in this
part of the state He has always
been bachelor" and seemed to be a
confirmed one, but at last he fell from
the effects of Cupids little bow and
arrow, and stole away from his friends
last Saturday and got married, While
we are not acquainted with the bride
we are sure that John made no mis-
take in making a selection for a help
meet, and we welcome her to our city
for her future home.
We do not think that it is necessary
to wish Mr.. and Mrs. Parks success
in life, bachelors are always success
full. but as it is customary to close ar
ticles OF this kind with some touching
epigram we join their large number
of friends in wishing them happy and
prosperous married life.

MADE 4 THING OF BEAUTY
'n Recent Years the unsiahtly Rear Door Has Been Completely
 Transformed.

With the abolishment of the alley and the back yard, az 1t was known few years ago, there has come a great change in the character of the service and of the noise.
 In large cities, where the houses are of necessity set close to the street, the alley was the simplest so- lution to the problem of the ash and garbage man, but as more of us move into the suburbs where the yards are large and gardens are the hobbies of the owners of the home, we come to live more in the open and have be- come averse to the sight of laundry Tapping in the breeze or mops and brooms hanging by the side of the door and the garbage and rubbish cans constant eyesore. In many localities, the Los Angeles Herald says, the fences have gone entirely and the back yards are made into 3 veritable park where the lawn is continuous, ones individuality being expressed only in the flowers planted and these must conform to a cert- in extent with the general plan.
 Z By many. however, this is consid- cred undesirable, as there is, of course, very little privacy procurable and fences are converted into things of beauty covered with vines In this way you have a splendid background prepared for any flowers you desire to plant.
 n he oG1 an long theme of reproach, must be metamorphosed into pleasant place. In many of the newer houses the back entrance has become the side door and is screened from the view of passers on the street by a lattice fence cunningly covered with climbing roses, wistaria or some other vines. If an artistic gate is built close to the door many steps are. saved and the whole adds to the apparent breadth of the house. This leaves the back yard free for per gola and flower garden and gives an exquisite view from living room or dining room windows.
 By partitioning of portion of the back porch to be used exclusive ly for, the garbage can and rubbish box, these unsightly objects are hid den from view and one of the hard est problems Is conquered. If the garbage can Is 'emptied often and carefully cleaned with strong. hot studs or lye, there can be nothing re pulsive about such a compartment.

There is no need, for an ordinance In St. Paul providing for the planting of fruit trees in parks as proposed by John R. Emerson, the Chicago alder man, according to Superintendent Nuesbauner of the St Paul park sys- tenn: For i've years over 400 fruit trees have been hourishing in Oak land park. These were planted years ago by the children of that neighbor. hood, but the park board cares for them. There gre plots in the other parks for the planting of fruit trees when the park board deems it advis, able to set the trees out.

T-The 'triennial conclave Of Knights Templar In Chicago was made the for the most lavish decora tion of city ever seen in the United States, with the exception of the Hud son-Fulton celebration in New York It is estimated. that $200,0o0 was ex- pended on this feature of the enter tainment of the knights. This work
 was done in sections by three of the largest companies in the business. each being called upon to look after the branch of the business in which it
 vas most proficient. Ten carloads Of material, in addition to the mass of bunting, flags, etc., obtained locally were used.

Pr...rx.tlon of Scenic Beauty

new method for the preservation of scenic beauty is indicated in a de cision recently handed down by the United States District court sitting at Pueblo, Colo A water and power company sought, by means of con demnation proceedings, to divert wa ter which produced falls that were the chief attraction Of 8 tourist re- sort The resort company resisted, on the ground that diversion of the water meant the destruction of that scenic beauty which was it's chief as- set. The falls are now protected by permanent injunction.
 Similar stepsl might have saved the Dells of the Wisconsin. which, after many years of welldeserved fame. have been sacrificed to 3 light and power company in Milwaukee. Like proceedings might serve to save the valley of the. Hetch-Hetchy, in Cali fornia, now threatened by San Fran cisco.
 It would be well, of course, if fine scenery might be frankly saved for it's own sake. The formation of re- sort companies with vested rights points out 9 way which, while not fully worthy, seems to be effective.

In view of the fact that the develop ment of the northwestern portion of the city must soon compel the aban- Kansas City's first years experiment with . municipal farm Is of interest. The farm was undertaken as m i'm provement over an expensive work house. The results have just been is- sued in the form of . summary by the board of public. welfare.
 A vorkhouse prisoner used to cost Kansas City 3220 . year; a prisoner on the farm has been earning 9100 an- nually for the city. The figures given as averages show that the city has turned 6 loss of 60 cents . day for each prisoner into . gain of 30 cents for eech prisoner. The report says that this is not all the gain, however. that has accrued to the municipality. The reformatory influence of the farm has been marked. It Is asserted that the prisoners take an unlokedfor in terest in the farm work, an interest never met with in vorkhouse tasks, and, as result, the desire to escape Is
 ninimized and but few guards are nee eseery.
 The prisoners plant and cultivate snd harvest crops, care for live stock. build roads and fences and repair them. in all of which there Is va riety of toll suitable to different kinds of ability. The city sells the products cf the farm not needed and the fund derived Is applied to the maintenance of the prisoners. Now the electors of the city are soon to vote on . proposi- ton to issue bonds in s50,000 to pay for the material and superintendence in the construction of . &125,0oo build ing, the manual labor to be done by the prisoners.
 The site of the Marion county work house is- valuable for residence lots and could be sold for an amount sufi ciently large to purchase . good sized farm, ss well as to provide for the erection of necessary buildings. II the xorkhouse farm experiment Is as successful as- 1t Is reported to be fin Kansas City, Cleveland and other cities, 1t Is hoped, that the county council and commissioners will make an n-investigation of the subject before final action is taken as to the erection of . new prison.-Indianapolis Star.

Development Through Fairgrounds.

a
 A thorough study of the unusual opportunities for the moral and phy sical development of the children on our city playgrounds will quickly re- veal the broad scope possible in this work. A well-supervised playground means a decrease in petty crimes, ju- venile delinquency, etc, and also does away with boyish fights, quarreliag and disputes regarding the games played. the whole tendency being for better and higher. Teachers in the public schools also attest that play ground frequenters make the most wide-awake pupils; parents testify to its making children better behaved and more satisfied in home life; res idents in the neighsorhood are also loud in their praise of its healthful influence.
