Germany ranks as the best equipped ma

TO organization in connection with trade
development. She makes use OF every
national force to aid and foster her for
eign commerce. Special rates are made
for exports over transportation lines: her
commercial agents, banks, and steam
ship lines are found in every corner OF
the globe; her systems OF commercial
education are without equal; her trade
and commercial organization are semi
official. and all these efforts are as one
unit in the service OF building up Ger
many's foreign commerce.
In some foreign countries Americas
greatest trade rival as a nation will
spend $50 900 annually on a consulate,
where this country spends $4,000 or less.
In New York one foreign government is
almost as adequately equipped to report
to its home government on trade con-
ditions in the United States as the Bu-
reau OF Manufactures OF the Department
OF Commerce and Labor is to report on
trade conditions throughout the world.
At the present time ten OF the COM
mercial agents Of the Bureau Of Manu-

tive to machinery and machine tools,
cotton textiles, chemical products, cleo
trical machinery and supplies, leather
and boots and shoes. and trade condi-
tons in general. Their reports are also
published from time to time in mono

The work of the American commercial
agents is most important, and II is Sec
rotary Nagel's hope to extend this work
as rapidly as possible. with a view to
having commercial experts stationed in
all the important commercial cities Of
the world, just as Americas foreign
trade rivals have their commercial at

able. She has taught her vocalists not

musical talent. Howling Wolf. one of her

LABOR ESSENTIAL
TO OUR HAPPINESS
Judge Prouty Tells Churchmen that
Worlds Greatest Men Have
Beep Hard Workers.

II is not the Ia 9yer who can tell the
biggest lies VIII S the most successful in
his profession. according to Judge Solo
mon Prouty, member OF Congress from
Iowa, at the mems meeting at the First
Congregational Church yesterday after
noon.
1T is the lawyer who is known for his
integrity, more than his legal acumen.
that is the most successful one in the
long rum" said Judge Prouty. He also
said that his experience OF thirty years
OF practice before and on the bench has
convinced him that the judges and the
juries on an average try TO be honest,
but that the great fault lies with the
litigants and witnesses who stretch the
truth In the litigation before the courts
TO unknown and unfamiliar proportions
in order to either suit their own interests
or please their friends. The speaker said
that woman had much better chance
before a Jury and the court than a man,
and a husband will rarely contradict his
wife when on the witness stand.
Speaking OF thc Idle rich. Judge Prouty,
who introduced his remarks by telling
the audience that he knew what 1t was
from personal experience to mingle with
hobos and tramps. and TO cavort with
Presidents and dine with kings, said
that labor is essential to happiness. and
that there is nobody as unhappy as the
man who has nothing to do. Il have
seen milllonaires at Palm Beach and
other fashionable reports" said the
Iowan, bored to near extinction for the
lack OF something to do. He said the
greatest men had been the greatest
workers.
Referring to the Presidential campaign,
Judge Prouty said there are some fell
lows who got an idea into their heads
that they are born to be great; but
they're bound to be disappointed. II you
should aspire To the Presidency the
chances against you are great. You have
one chance in 9CO0o.0O0. It's best to get
that idea out OF your head you're born
to be great" Judge Prouty said that
mans chance &c go to jail are much
greater than that of being elected Presi-
dent Of the United States.
