Readjustnent Of the

. Readjustment Of the lines of trade
must necessarily follow the mighty
upheaval in Europe market for food
stuffs and manufactured articles, it
will be but the question of a compar-
atively short time untn new markets

acter. MADE in Germany has been
one Of the standard traoe marks on
immense quantities Of articles sold
throughout Central and South Ameri-
ca and throughout the West Indies.
In fact the markets to the south of us
have been almost monopolized by Ger
man and British tradesmen. The Uni
ted States has secured but a small
proportion OF this business. But now
the European source Of supply has
been cut off, and the United States
alone has the power to meet the de-
mand Of these countries.
A noted general once said that IAN

OF this statement. Food must be had
II fighting is to be done, and it is not
to be presumed for an instant that
ers now at war will be able to live
upon the country they pass through.
Al a matter of fact, all European
countries are heavy importers of food
stuffs OF all kinds. Germany, pre-
vious to the war, secured immense
quantities Of grain from Russia and
Austria, as we'll as from this country
England cannot exist without an OUT
side source Of food supply and France,
although possibly self supporting to a
certain extent in time of peace, must
look elsewhere for food in case of
war.
The United States is the only ma
tion in <he world that can supply the
food needed in the present crisis, and
a. way must be found. and found soon.
to transport foodsturfs from this

Like MIR. Brady I have often denied

good old local preacher.
| have known Mr.. Brady from child
hood and know him to be an honor

Financial reverses may sometime
overtake us, and we should be very
careful how we refuse Cf impossible
to assist and let it not he in any

I have also known Mayor Greenhut
for twenty years and have also done
business with him, having always
found him to be a square dealing, up
right gentleman. always being ready
to assist in any way at any time.
