VERY one knows that American
r. trade langulshes In South Amer
- tea and that the European
manufacturers have practically
q clear field there. To remedy this evil
and open up the markets OF the great
continent to the south OF us to goods
made in the United states is the avowed
objects OF the American Trade Tour
Company, which was Incorporated a
few months ago.
The promoters and managers of the
company are two young men who have
had considerable experience in selling
American goods in China and Australia.
They are Joseph J. Keegan and Hilliard
J. Rosencrantz. Several years ago with
not much more than a shoestring for
capital they formed a partnership in
San Francisco and proceeded to invade
China selling American goods. They
introduced the talking machine there.
That was fourteen years ago, on the
the natives kowtowlng to them and
praying to their music boxes In the be-
lief that they held imprisoned spirits.
They both learned to speak Chinese
and they were successful financially.
They now have az an attendant when
ever they travel dIgnlfied Chinaman
who wears monocle and answers to
the name OF Jenkins.
Then they tackled Japan and Aus
tralia with an equally satisfactory re-
suit and now they have come to New
York to begin a campaign in South
America. They have chartered the Red
Star liner Kroonland and propose to
load her up with drummers and manu-
facturers' exhibits and tour the West
Indies and the east coast of South
America for four months beginning on
October II next. The entire ship will

May z, when the Confederate VET
Grams will pass in review.
Confident of its ability to handlu
Confederate reunion in all of its
various details, Jacksonville, a
city with skyline, a water front
and spirit that does things, ex-
tends a cordial welcome to the ex-
Confederates and their descendants
to enjoy Florida hospitality and
see the states many wonders.
promising that everything possible
will be done to make their visit
pleasant and instructive. The
broad St. Johns river, the Atlantic
ocean, Florida forests and flowers,
modern, progressive city, and
citizenship typical of the New
South, but loyal to the ideals.of the
old, are few of the attractions
that the visitor will enjoy.
Florida realizes that the gray
line grows thinner each year; that
the time is fast approaching when
the survivors who passed through
the storm of lead and fame at
Gettysburg, or engaged in the
death grappIe at Chickammga, and
a hundred other battlefelds, will be.
summoned to their last reunion. AS
the line marches on Jacksonville
for its gath annual reunion, it will
be given q royal welcome and the
people of the whole state will salute
with love and reverence the sur
viyors of one of the greatest armies
the world ever saw.
The Guthrie daily leader. [volume] (Guthrie, Okla.) 1893-1996, 1914-04-12

Having secured the reunion, the
people, not only of Jacksonville,
but of the whole state of Florida,
are bending their best energies to
make the Jacksonville meeting one
of the largest and most pleasant
that the veterans and their friends
have ever enjoyed.
Jacksonville is the chief city of
Florida. 1t is situated on the St.
johns river at the entrance to the
famous Florida Fast Coast, twenty
seven miles from the Atlantic
ocean, where the St. Johns finds
its outlet. The territory is rich in
historic interest. Spaniard and
Frenchman contended for the ter
ritory nearly four hundred years
ago. and evidences of their bloody
struggles for the mastery are
found below Jacksonville along the
banks of The St. Johns.
The city, however, that is to
entertain the Confederates this
year is modern. jacksonville has
population of about S5, 900. 1t
has been built almost entirely
since the war. The town was oc-
cupied four times by the Union
army during the conflict President
Lincoln conserved the idea of
snatching Florida from the Con
federates, and sent force to
Jacksonville to accomplish that
end Many skirmishes between
the Confederates and Union forces
occurred, but the battle that de
cided the issue was fought at
Olustee, sixty miles west of Jack
sonville. The Union force, con
sisting of some 5000 men, was
ordered to penetrate into the heart
of the state. This force was met
at Olustee by Gen. Finnegan and
Gen. Colquitt, commanding 1900
Confederates, and defeated. The
Union force returned to Jackson
vile and evacuated the town.
Florida holds in affection the

living and dead of its Confederate
soldiers. The state pays out the
handsome total of S750,00O per
annum in ex-Confederate pensions.
The per capita payment to ex-
Confederate pensioners averages
Sl22, larger per capita average
than any other southern state. In
addition to this benefaction, the
state maintains homes for ex-Con-
federates. Throughout the state
handsome Confederate monuments
have been erected by public and
private means.
A Confederate reunion amid such
environments appeals to the whole
south. Being the first reunion held
in the state, it is the first oppor-
tlnity that the veterans and their
friends have had to see Florida at
a nominal cost. Railroads have
granted a rate of one cent mile
on account of the reunion, and in
terest is keen in the meeting in all
southern centers. An attendance
of from 100000 to 10000 is con-
fidently anticipated by the Jack
sonville Reunion Association.
Arrangements are being made
on a most elaborate scale to enter
tain the visitors. A camp will be
located in one of Jacssonville's
beautiful public parks for the en-
tertainmcnt of 5000 veterans at
tn. expense of the city. These, old
men belong to the class who are
not financially able to bear their
own expenses while attending the
reunion. They come largely from
the Confederate Soldiers Homes
of the southern states.
Three parades will be given
through the streets of Jacksonville
during the reunion. The Sons of !
Confederate Veterans, who hold
their reunion here May 5-s in I
elusive, will be in parade May 6. !;

CONFEDERATE vet
Grams throughout the
south are preparing
for their oath annual
march to the city that was
fortunate in securing their
reunion. This year they
meet at Jacksonville, the
wonderfully enterprising
metropolis of Florida. The
veterans and their descend
ants are looking forward
to this reunion with in
creased interest, because it
is their first visit in a body
to Florida. Every other
southern state has enter
tanned the Confederate vet
erans, some of them as
many as three times. Flor
ida has long nursed an am
bitiOn to entertain them,
and last year at Chatta-
nooga Jacksonville won the
fight for the reunion of this
year after a sharp contest
with other enterprising
cities.
The entire state entered
actively into the contest at
Chattanooga, and the re-
union is regarded as an
honor to Florida. Cover

Weather Crop Bulletia

Des Moines, lowa.-For the
week ending April IL, 1914:
The winter Of 1884, was the
warmest winter Of record and
was, with four exceptions, the
driest winter since 1890. The
average temperature for the
five months, November to
March, inclusive, was only o.
degree below the freezing
point, and there was less snow
fall than for any winter since
statewide observations began.
March was warmer and drier
than usual, but owing to wet,
inclement weather during the
last decade of the month and
unusually cold weather during
the first eleven days of April
farm work has been delayed
and fruit buds are still dor
mant. Freezing temperatures
were general on four or five
mornings Of the past week, and
as q result but little field work
could be done. While the sub.
soil is dry, the recent rains and
SHOWS have been sufficient to
thoroughly moisten the surface

some fields in the extreme

and the acreage is considerably
greater than it was last year.
Owing to the continued cold
weather the seeding of oats has
but fairly begun. The bulk of
the spring wheat seeding is
finished, and the acreage will
be somewhat greater than last
year. But little has been done
in the way of gardening and
only a few potatoes have been
planted. Grass appears to be
in good condition, but grass has
barely started to grow. All
live stock came through the
winter in a thrifty condition
and there is sufficient feed and
roughage LETT to last until new
pasturage is obtaipabIe. The
spring pig crop is fairly good
considering ths great loss of
breeding stock last season from
cholera. The week closes with
clear weather and much higher

ditions continue all farm oper-
atoms will be rushed during
the coming week. Up to the
present time the prospects are
favorable for a bountiful crop
