SOUTH AMERICA !. THE NEW FIELD
 FOR AUTOMOBILES
Reasons Why European War Has Opened Way for Big Commerce With South
 ern Neighbor
yVyyITH Europe at war new M/ field for American made W automobiles is open.


 W automobiles is open.
 It is South America.
 In the past only French and Ger man automobiles were sold in South American countries, but now that the great manufacturing plants of Eu- ropean countries are closed in the terrific war of nations the motor car demand of South America must be met by the product of the United | States.
 Few people realize how big the problem of reaching the South Ameri- can trade is. South America has been importing goods valued at S1 ,000 ,00O,- 900 annually. Of this astounding total the United States has only secured Is per cent. If this country is to sup ply now what Europe is totally unable to supply, it means at least tripling of South American exports. The busi- ness men and manufacturers should realize that the exports must come from this country, if from anywhere Let them grasp the opportunity. Let them grasp with willing hands the enormous volume of trade which the European war is diverting to the Uni ted States.
 However, the problem of masterine the South American trade is not sim rle. South American banking has al- ways been with London Berlin and Paris. The traffic normally flows through those centers. The first duties Of the business men and manufacturers Will be to open direct credits back and forth between this country and South America. It will also be encumbent to make the credit arrangement perma nently satisfactory to both parties.
 Strangers in Trade Sense In q trade sense the United States ana South America are strangers. Get t!ne thoroughly acquainted will be of mutual benefit to all concerned. II must also be rememered that South America Is a tremendous exporter Preparations in this country to increa SC sales in the South American continent are met with equal if not greater prep arations in South America to increa se their sales in the United States How ever. that is as it should be- South America is seeking new markets for it's raw materials and the United States

FAITHFULNESS

Whatever happens, never for
sake a friend. When enemies
gather. when sickness falls on the
heart, when the world is dark and
cherries, is the time to try true
friendship. They who turn from
scenes of distress betray their
hypocrisy, and prove that inter
est only moves them. If you
have a friend who loves you, who
has studied your interest and
happiness, be sure to sustain him
in adversely. Let him feel that
his love was not thrown away.
Real fidelity may be rare but it
does exist in the heart. They
only deny its worth and power
who never loved a friend or la
bored to make a friend happy

by Mrs. Cora Stewart, of Moore

the bill providing for the Ken

Not in Years has any speaker
been accorded such a demonstra-

Mrs. Stewart at the, conclusion
of her address. She completely
swept the Legislature off its feet
by her eloquence. Not only did
her eloquence appeal to the mem

UNFORTUNATE CONDITION

Some months ago the trustees
of the town of Irvine extended
the town limits taking in a large
scope of territory east and also a
large scope of territory west of
the city. A suit was filed by one
party in the western district con-
testing the extension of the limits
in that direction.
The city of Irvine has been as
suming jurisdiction over the east.
ern part which was not contested
until recently. The point has
been raised that that portion is
not part of the city, and the
point now arises whether or moi
the city shall turn over to the
county and state authorities the
fines collected, and. whether OF
not they are entitled to offset fol
the salaries paid f6f policing thai
part of the city. '''l"
This is one of the results of the
special judge law. Although this
case has been before three special
judges, none of them had time
or at least took time, to render; Z
final judgment in il, and thus the
city of Irvine has been held uI
for twelve months with no judge
to try the case; all of which goe:
to show, as we have contendec
all the time, that the special judge
law is a bowling farce.
1t should be repealed.

PISTOL ToTING

The bill against the carrying
of deadly weapons concealed now
pending in the Legislature is too
drastic. For the first conviction
the penalty is disfranchisement
for two years. For the second, a
term in the penitentiary. The
wisdom of this bill will be doubt
ed by many. 1t is we'll known
that the severity of punishment
does not deter criminals. 1t is
the certainty of punishment that
makes them stop and think.
There are several grades of So
ciety. The top grade is entirely
happy without pistols, the lower
gradeis not happy until they have
one or more, accompanied by a
bottle; the medium grades are
happy with or without as the case
may be.
A serious question confronts
the people. Shall the virtuous,
upright and honorable people be
entirely deprived of their right of
self protection against assaults
of dead beats and thugs? The
latter class have no respect for
themselves and will take the
chance, while "a self respecting
man will not take the chance of
the diSfranchisement or confne-
ment in the penitentiary, and
thereby becomes at once the prey
to the violent passions of men of
the lowest strata.
1t is true that the best citizens
can carry arms openly. But no
good citizen wants to run around
on the public streets or public
highways tOtlnS a pistol IN his
hand.
From our experience of seven
years as public prosecutor, pis-
tol cases are confined largely to
the ignorant and the lawless.
But occasions arise when a man
of self respect is entitled to and
should be permitted to protect
himself against such.
The law will not accomplish
as much as is hoped by its
friends, and pistol toting will go
on and will flourish among the
ignorant and debased as hereto
fore. And the law will become
wholly dead letter statute.

He's Got Them Going

An acre of ground in Jenkins is
worth 100000. At least that is
the price put upon the only acre
in the new town that is not own
ed by the Consolidated Coal Co.
The owner of this land is ]. H.
Bentley and the question as to
whether he will be able to hold
the land is before the Court of
Appeals for decision. The Sandy
Valley & Elkhorn Railroad Co.
wants the acre for railroad yards
and the ground has been con-
demned. The commissioner of
the county allowed Bentley ST.
600 for the acre. The case was
appealed to the county court and
the owner was allowed $4,000
for the acre. Later an appeal
was taken to the circuit court and
Bentley was allowed $4,000 for
the acre. So now the case is be-
fore the appellate court and Bent
ley is contending that the land is
worth 100000. 1t is the only
plot upon which competitive
stores can be built, as the Consol-
idated Coal Co. owns everything
besides the one acre. He can
erect buildings upon it and earn
81 900 a month in rentals. Win

The Indians are being overworked
in the role of giant killers. They
were first sent up against Burlington
with its record of no games lost, after
they had administered repeated de-
feats to Marshalltown and Waterloo.
Now the league Is depending on the
tribe to take a fall out OF Bert Hough
and his Pilots. after they have been

Bert Hough went to Clinton this
spring as the new manager In that
city after having made an enyiable
reputation at Monmouth. He took
with him many of the players who
were a. Monmouth last season and
added to these several men who are
proving finds. From present indica-
lions Hough and his club will be well
up in the running till the end OF the
pennant race Of 1914 and it would
not be a big surprise il he should win
the rag for Clinton in its first year

rated at .3S1 in the list appearing on

been farmed out by Portland and had
written Hill to get him back in the

up for him to come back to the Bun
