And so we might go on extending the
list indefinitely, enumerating products
of the American farm and factory which
are being sent to other parts of the world,
and these articles would include sewing
machines, typewriters, motor boats, or
gans, pianos, pianolas, soap, perfumery,
oranges, raisins, prunes, chewing gum
toys and many other equally curious and
interesting articles, to say nothing of the
great classes making up the grand total
of more than seven hundred and sixty
seven million dollars worth of manu-
features, FIVE hundred and sixty-fve
million dollars worth of raw materials,
and three hundred and seventy million
dollars worth of foodstuffs. OF raw cot
ton alone the years exports amounted
to four hundred and fifty million dollars;
of meat and dairy products, one hundred

divisions to which these articles CO. as
shown in the volume, Commerce and

alluded to, are over one hundred in num-
Der and it would be difficult to find in

WORLDWIDE DISTRIBUTION OF
AMERICAN FARM AND FACTORY
pRODTTCTS

The contributions which the people Of
the United States are making to the COM
forts and requirements of the daily life
of those in other parts Of the world are
scarcely realized even by those supplying
the articles so contributed. How little
does the girl or woman employed in the
factory realize that the cotton cloth being
manufactured with her cooperation is
to become a holiday dress for some other
girl OF woman in China, or India, or the
Philippines, or South Africa, or the
islands of the East or West 1ndiesl How
little does the boy or man who engages in
the daily round of farm life realize that
the bacon to be made from the pigs which
he feeds is to go into the homes of Ii
IBERIA, and Portuguese Africa, and French
Oceania, and Asiatic Russia, or that the
eggs which he collects may be exported to
British Guiana, or Peru, or Cuba, or
Central America, OF the various countries
of Europel Yet these and many other
curious and interesting incidents of the
neighborly interchanges between our own
people and those of other and distant
parts Of the world are shown as part Of the
eve-y-year, all-the-year-round routine of
trade recorded by the Bureau of Stats
tics of the Department of Commerce and
Labor.
Its annual volume. Commerce and
Navigation of the United States" which
is supplied free of charge to those desiring

the American mule goes to Africa, Aus
tralia. the islands Of Oceania, British,
Dutch and French Guiana, Ecuador,

the expectations amount TO from three TO

To Our Rea'iers.

With this issue of the Herald we
are pleased to call attention to the
enlargement of this paper. 1t has
been compelled to add one more page
making four pages of local news for
our readers.
The present management was fully
convinced before taking charge of
this office that Oakley demanded a
large paper than she was getting
and that the business would Justify
it so basing our judgement on the con-
ditions surrounding her added one
more page to the paper at the
time we took charge.
We felt however that with the en-
largement then made the space
would care for the business to be had
for some time, but we find that our
growing country requires room for
both new and advertising purposes.
While we appreciate the growth Of
our business we are are aware that
it is only keeping abreast of the time
and the people with whom we live
We aim to furnish our readers with
clean, profitable up-to-date imforma-
ton and shall try to bring to your
notice such matter that may interest
you whether, in social, political, re-
ligious or financial affairs.
