CHINA VS.. ARGENTINA.
South American Republic, With PIen
ty Of Money, an Ideal Market.

The other day man who has gen.
eral knowledge of South American
conditions, and who is specially in
formed regarding Argentina, remarked
that the opportunities there were so
vast that the manufacturers and mer-
chants of this country would be justi-
fled in ignoring the Far East and con-
centrating their efforts upon the
southern continent. They would have
done that already, perhaps, if they had
not fallen under the spell of mere
numbers The merchant, fascinated by
the teeming millions of China, has dis
regarded contemptuously the meager
population of Argentina. He has fan
cied that if he could only get at those
millions his fortune would be made. 1t
has never occurred to him that they
were horribly poor and that the pur-
chasing power of score of them did
not equal that of one Chicago newsboy.
1t is not mere numbers which count,
but Willingness and ability to spend.
The Chinese may have the one, but
they lack the other. Look at the fig
ures. In spite of all that has been
said and done to build up trade with
China, we could get them to buy dur
ing the eight months ended with Aug
ust only $15,5OO,O00 worth of goods
That includes the shipments to Hong
kong. During the same time Argen-
tina took $27,O00,O0O worth.
1t would have taken more if the en-
ergy expended on China had been de-
voted to it. Railroads are opening up
the country, capital is flowing in, la
Dor is in demand, and it's wages are
increasing. The shrewd merchant who
is hunting for markets studies the
wage scales of different countries for
he knows that where they are highest
he will find the best buyers. If wages
We're not so infinitesimal in China, the
open door" would be of greater value.
China should not be ignored alto
gether, for it has future, but Argen-
tina is a field nearer home which
should be cultivated with great assid-
uity. Do not forget that for every 81
worth of goods an Argentine buys of
us the Chinaman buys about 3 cents
worth.-Chicago Tribune.

Hay Dealers Organize.

u . y "A 2 ri -
Lamar-The hay dealers OF the
Arkansas valley have perfected per-
nanent protective organization to be
known as the Arkansas Valley Prod
ucts Association, and chose the fol-
lowing officers: c. F. Briggs of Fow-
ier, president; Ralph Green of Bristol,
vice president; w. c. Wix of Lamar,
secretary Fl. F. Walls of Las Animas
and C. A. Pinkham of Holly directors.
The purpose of the organization is to
protect dealers from inscriptions
brokers and commission men,, who
have made claims of off grade ship
ments handled through them until
shippers would reduce the drafts. In
vestigation has proven most Of these
claims unjust, and the association pro-
poses to keep an inspector at the prin-
cipal shipping centers to whom all diff
ferences will be referred for adjust
ment, and who will determine to whom
loss is probably due. Dealers have
been losers by farmers refusing to
clear the first cutting thoroughly from
the ground, and the second cutting.
mixed with dead hay of the former cut
ting, making lower grade than all
new hay would be. The association
will endeavor to remedy this trouble.
