LOST MOTION IN TRADE.
in Foreign Commerce
Dwelt Upon in Report.

Lost motion in American foreign
commerce is discussed in a report being
prepared by the bureau Of foreign and
domestic commerce, which cites as an
example the fact that raw phosphate
rock to the value of $4OOO00 Is shipped
each year from the United States to Bel
GUM, and an equal amount of super
phosphates, the finished fertilizer product,
is imported annually from that country.
The long trip from continent to CONT
nent is difficult to explain, the bureau
points out, especially when the declara-
ton is made by American Consul Norton.
at Chemnitz. Germany, that the raw ma
terial could be transformed more cheaply
here.
Several other anomalies in the Ameri-
can foreign trade are to be dwelt upon.
The report is based on an exhaustive in
vestigatiOn made by Consul Norton in
the chemical industries of Belgium, the
Netherlands, Norway and Sweden.

Central Business College, Sedalia. Mo
 All those wishing to enroll in Gen. tral Business College, should send in their names at once, phone c. w. Robbins, Sedalia, Mo-, either phone 108, or call at the college and make arrangements. Those at a distance can make all arrangements by cor respondence.
 Special offer: All pupils who enter school before or in August, taking out as much as siX-month course, will be allowed August, or whatever portion of it they come, free, their time be- ginning the first of September.
 Mr. Robbins desires to have as many make arrangements before the first of September as possible, not only on ac- count of getting them started nicely in their studies before the rush begins the first of September, and giving them the advantage of one month free, but also for the purpose of making an estimate of how many pupils to pre- pare for.
 The marvellous and rapid growth of this institution has necessitated in- creasing the school capacity, and pre- pairing for almost twice as many pupils the present year as ever before. All will be taken good care of, but it will be great convenience if those who are now fully decided, will write at once, and make arrangements.
 In this way, it will enable MT. Rob- bins to not only give them good seats in the college, but to arrange for their boarding places, so that they will not be inconvenienced when they start to school. A large number are starting the first of August.
