One million seven hundred and fifty thousand
yards of cotton cloth suitable for hospital pur-
poses; hosiery, towels and knitted undershirts.
The English and French governments are con-
tracing for thousands of army transport wagons,
saddles and harness of all kinds and thousands of
blankets for the soldiers. Two shipments of one
thousand horses each for the use Of the French
army were made from st. Louis and Fort Worth
few days ago. and the mule and horse markets arc
expecting additional purchases in the near future
Through resident agent in Canada the British
government is sending agents broadcast over the
United States. These agents are securing the
country to purchase large supplies of foodstuffs,
cloth and clothing canned stuffs, rifles and am
muniton and other military supplies. 1t is re-
ported that the British are buying for cash,
cepting the goods wherever the seller wishes to
deliver them and assuming all risks concerning
their safe conduct TO destination.
In the commercial car branch of the automobile
industry the benefits which will accrue from the

commercial motor cars which have been exported
the exports have increased wonderfully. great
many commercial cars have been sold to the gov
ernments of the countries at war. Many Of these
already have been shipped, and they are going
forward rapidly. In addition TO this, many of
these cars are being sold for general purposes in
the countries affected because of the fact that the
governments of those countries have seized all Of

help, We had to work out our own proposition.
We had the stone and stumps to clear away on
the old patches, and lot Of new land to clear up
before the place fit to be called a farm. l
don't know how the tenants had managed to
squeeze out living through those earlier years
1t must have been painful We couldn't have
done 1t at all on the land as it lay when we
bought it.
In our first year for the first time in its his
tory the land got a deep poughing with a real
plough, and after that beginning we practised all
we knew or could possibly discover of the best of
modern farming manuring, crop rotation, seed
selection, high breeding and all the rest Never
mind all the details This isn't the place for
them. But let me tell you something Of results
after six years of work
The year we came to the farm the tenant got
twelve bushels Of to the acre. This year,
on my best land-a part of the same old field,
mind you-the yield was 1853 bushels to the acre.
We've converted utterly worthless acres into prof
liable meadows and pastures. We've put some OF
the best livestock in the South in our pastures
Our Jersey cattle models Of Jersey style. Nv
prize pig is nearly as big as a middle-sized ele-
plant. 40 joking. He weighs 700 pounds right
this minute and he's putting on three pounds
day. The year we took the farm it didn't produce
enough corn 10 iced that one pig through sea-
SON. Now there's plenty.
There's been heap of downright satisfaction
IN making the game win in finding out that we
were able to tackle proposition like this, going
back to first principles and getting a living at
INST hand. It's life worth while, life of three
dimensions, life that calls for vigorous thought
and vigorous action. We we're just little fearful
thst we'd ind it sometimes life of drudgery
ltS been nothing Of the sort. There isn't any
dradgery in the work you like to do the work
thsts interesting for you, the work you're able
10 get up some real, honest enthusiasm about.

Not only has there been an increased interest
in export trade aroused. but We have had num-
Der of conditions called to attention concern
ing the dependence Of the United States upon
Europe and particularly Germany, for commodi-
ties which We could manufacture in the United
States For a number of reasons, mostly eco
nomic, We have not tried to supply ourselves.
Take the dyestllT industries, for example. The
United States produces about 40 per cent OF the
worlds supply Of coal, yet we allow Germany to
supply the world with coal tar products. So 1t
is with other chemicals. The same condition
holds true to considerable extent for electrical
apparatus. We produce the copper, export 1t
through Germany and remport it few months
later after a great amount of labor has been ex-
erted upon it in the form of finished electrical
supply.
We have been wasting our own resources. I'm
I'll a few years ago by-product industries were
very limited in number To-day, in order to
satisfy many of our needs, these by-products
must be developed. They form the basis for
many important processes and are indispensable
in many industries.
In many lines we have had no opportunity
Ill the present time. In others the opportunity
has been neglected. In South America, for ex-
ample, Europe has supplied so per cent of the i'm
ports, Is per cent coming from the United States.
Yet the class of goods which Europe supplies is
largely the that we have to sell. That we
are good customer of South America cannot be

THE PREDICTION OF SIR GEORGE PAIsH
CONCERNING AMERICA

shortly after the war started Sir George Paish,
the London economist, predicted that the war
would mean prosperity for America If the oppor-
tunities which it would afford were seized. Presi
dent Wilson was credited with similar state
ment which was later denied Most economists,
however have been more or less pessimistic and
have pointed 70 the fact that large amounts OF
capital are being wasted daily, that productive
enterprises are being unnamed, that the pur-
chasing power of the belligerents is being re-
duced and that, although the United States may
become tho leader of nations, the race will be
rua with poorer field. All Of this may be
Granted. yet it does not follow that we should be
discouraged and close eyes 20 the whole sit
uation. Rather, we should act with courage, in
teiligcnce and enterprise to reduce the effects and
reap the advantages.
Among these advantages are:
First--saIes % commodities demanded because
Of hOstilties.
Seeond-lnereased prosperity for the industries
subsidiary to those supplying war demands.
Third-Inereased sales TO customers formerly
supplied by the belligerents.
FouTth--Sales of foodstufs TO Europe at
high price and purchases of our financial Obliga.
lions At low price.
Fifth--Increased financial prestige.
Sixth-Thc practising of forced and voluntary
economy on all sides.
The growing export trade as direct result Of
tae war is causing much good feeling, American
manufacturers are receiving daily orders for large
supplies of war equipments from the agents of
foreign governments, and everywhere there is
evidence that domestic merchants, manufacturers
anj exporters are devOting their energies to in
crease commercial relations with the countries
now at war and that capital is responding 70 the
new demands.
Among the supplies reported ordered in this
country recently are the following;
Three hundred automobile trucks for the Rus
San government.
one hundred and fifty thousand pairs Of shoes
D.. the French army, which closely follows a
,ory recent order Cor the Grecian army.

iltOn Institute.

URING the last two months large
amounts of printers ink have been con
sumed in the discussion concerning the
effects Of the on American ousl-
ness. Numerous articles have appeared recently
concerning the cost of the war and the snare
which the United States must bear. But much
has happened recently to show that all Of the
war items will not enter the debit side OF our
balance sheet, and it seems desirable that we
should devote more attention to finding out just
what these items are and how the number might
be increased
n this connection 1t has been the writer's PRIV
ileee 70 interview and correspond with several
hundred of our leading business men and to study
thousands Of news clippings from the leading
daily and trade papers This article is, therefore,
written to remind the reader that there are some
eyentuaities which act as Offset to the awful
consequences Of the war, and is not written to
contradict the belief that all the world must suf-
fer nor to prove that certain consequences are
not regrettable. 1t hoped only that the reader
will be induced TO take broader view and recog-
nizs clearly that advantages will issue from The
evil.

The result Of this inquiry was to me very sur

for at first blush foreigner would wonder what
possible interest 8 Jew could take in a war so
emphatically and unanimously approved by the
Greek Church. a church which, rightly or wrong
~, the Jews have blamed for their failure 70
enjoy ampler political rights in Russia. And re-
member, this war is, for Russian peasant and
noble alike, holy war. However that may be,
the surprising fact remains that even the most
orthodox member Of the Russian Church is no
more enthusiastic about this than are his
Jewish compstrots. At last these two religious
antipodes have found something in common to
both--a bond Of sympathy-and there is Nndled
in both of them the same fire of patriotism, lighted
though it be by brands from different affairs.

phenomenon as came about during our Spanish

which evidences itself in many ways, not only
in this appreciation Of Jewish loyalty to nation
