Good Markets There.

Americans are not going after the
markets of South and Central America
as they should. There is only one min
eraI water being shipped from the United
States TO the far south countries and
they could use others. Cash registers,
sewing machines and shoes are being
shipped down there from the United
States but the South and Central Amer
lean countries would be only too glad TO
welcome from the United States other
articles made in this country, such as
furniture, draperies, carpets, collars and
cuffs. socks and neckties, womens cloth
ing canned and dried fruits and some
vegetables. such As onions and potatoes.
All the onions and potatoes they get down
there for instance. come from Germany.
The mems socks shipped there are also
from Germany, and have seam down

imported into the Argentine last year
from London English apples, when
they were really cold storage apples from

We have the finest apples in the world in

Something ought to be done to develop
the steamship lines between the United
States and the South and Central Amer
lean ports, particularly from eastern
ports like New York and Boston and
Philadelphia and Baltimore TO Rio de
Janeiro and Buenos Aires. The United
States could do six seven times the
amount of business now do with
South American countries if our Amer
leans would only wake up to the oppor-
tunities down there.

Congress of Mothers and Parent
Teacher Association. Mrs. Ussher
spoke briefly of the work and intro
duced Mrs. R. H. Tate. state presi-
dent of the association, who made
the principal address of the evening.
Mrs. Tate began by telling how the
association came by its long and hy-
phenated appellation and also told
something of the work sought to be
accomplished by the organization.
Mrs Tate praised the local circles
for their successful industrial fair
and spoke of the possibilities of re-
forms which could be brought about
by the ladies if they went at it the
right way. Nothing could be accom-
plished, she said, by unpleasant criti-
cism. She also urged that the spirit
ual side of the work be taken up.
She made a plea to the women to
stand by the university appropria-
tions at the special election this fall
and also declared in favor of the
Southern Oregon Normal.
Following the address. Mrs. c. B..
Wolf beautifully sang, to the tune of
Maryland, My Maryland" a song
specially written for a national
Mothers Congress.
Professor Briscoe was then called
upon, who announced that the first
evening of the University Study Club
would hold its first meeting Friday
evening, October "a, at which time
one of the professors from the uni.
versity would be present and lecture.
There will be one lecture each month
throughout the winter. All are in
vited and there is no charge. The
lecture will be at s O'Clock, lasting
one hour. Those wishing to take
heavier work also may do so and
secure university credits.
After Professor Briscoe spoke Mrs
Perozzi reported on the Industrial
Fair, showing it to have been finan-
cial success as we'll as in every other
way. The report is elsewhere in this
paper. Following the program a So
cial hour was spent and refresh
ments consisting of sherbet, cider
and waters were served.

sang "Mammy's Pore Little Black
Lamb" They sang we'll, as they al
ways do. and responded to an encore
by singing 81 Want a Girl Just Like
the Girl That Married Dear Old
