REVIVAL IN MEXICAN TRADE.
Peace should Bring Demands for
American Goods.

American OOOdh-
There are signs that the Mexicars
themselves are eager for the resumption
of trade relations with the United States.
The long guerrilla warfare has depleted
the stock OF the manufactured articles
We produce. and as a part Of the re-estah-
Iishment of peace there are prospects for
the disposal OF large quantities OF hats.
shoes. clothing and other textile products
When an election under constitutional
forms has been held and the Mexi-ans
have chosen a president We can con-
sistentIy approve there is no doubt that
our traffic with our southern neIghbor
will receive an enormous impetus through
the isolation Of Mexico from markets
across the sea.
The four years Of turbulence have not
affected the import trade so materially
as most persons might suppose. In thu
first third Of the fiscal year 1881 the
imports from all countriesD were valued
at 81. 272.4T1 pesos (the peso is almost
exactly 80 cents. and in the correspond
ing period of 1913 the valuation was
g. So. 2S3 pesos. This represents a
shrikage Of slightly less than l per cent
In the case OF exports there is a DIFF
ferent story to tell. The present sluggish
state Of Mexican manufactures, as OF
agricultural and mining interests. is in
dictated by a falling on of nearly Is per
cent, from III. 90 pesos to a,SG7-
55I
The total imports Of 1913 Gor the
whole fiscal year, were 900 pesos.
and OF 1872 they were ls2. go, 31i pesos
For 1911 the valuation was 20
and the banner year was 1897. with
81, 229.57s Exports in 1918 nhe en-
tire fiscal year, for the first time passed
the 3OO.GO0,OOO mark by a small margin.
The leading articles of present import.
in the order of their importance are
mineral substances, vegetable substances.
machinery and apparatus, textile, ami
NAL substances. chemicals, vehicles, bev-
erages, paper. arms and explosives All
these items are abundantly procurable
from the United States. and it is likely
that trade established now will habltuate
the Mexicans to what we offer and prove
permanently lucrative. An active part
in the forward movement is sure to be
taken by Philadelphia, as the leading CEN
ter for the manufacture of many things
needed in the economic regeneration Of
Mexico.-Philadelphia Public Ledger.

who will do their work in the right
spirit and not quarrel with other SER
wants.
In some homes the mental atmo-
sphere is so dominated by the thought
of the servants that the owners of the
establishment feel uncomfortable all
the time.
Except for entertainments, which
are often trumped up to show off
ones home equipment rather than foi
any real pleasure, use or need of
either the hostess or the guests, these
big Establishments are hopelessly in
excess of the useful requirements of
the occupants.
Economic law, operating through
all channels forces the return to that
which is really useful to the moral
and intellectual development of man.
kind.
That is why so manv wealthy peo-
pie who have tried it out and have
felt the unnecessary burden of it, are
taking in their sails, seeking simpler
modes of living, and spending their
time and money for the things that
count.

Patriotism
By Omar w. Russell, Casnovia, Mich.

~ a little city of the middle south,
rated on one of the thoroughfares
the lower part of the city, were
e homes of different nationalities,
e same as we find in most all of
e cities of our country.
non one of the most prominent
: reefs of this district, we find living
rectly opposite from each other, a
tile American" boy and "Mexi-
an" boy.
Day after day passed by and each
ay saw those little boys playing in
lissful content, along with the other
laymates of the neighborhood, en-
Dying the fruits of childhood to their
fullest.
Time passed on until day of pa
triotism for Che American people ar
rived and the little American boy, pa
triotic as he had been raised from
early childhood, brought forth two
American flags, one for himself and
one Tor his little playmate across the
street.
Now the little Mexican boy had
been taught the same principles of his
country's flag as the American boy.
He had been raised in sunny Mexico,
and 30 he refused to accept his little
comrades flag.
The truce of friendship was here
broken in one short moment. The
Mexican boy brought forth a little
Iasy, torn and wrinkled, but it ex-
-,essed the sentiments for his coun-
~. that he had been taught.
AS the little boys stood on opposite
dc of the sidewalk exchanging, hot
cords. all ready to drop their flags
md fight. another little boy came
t-wn the street carrying white flag
- Walking between the two little boys
sAne said. "Come on and lets have

Every person has a right to be in
sympathy with their nations flag, for
does not the man of the far east or
west have heart for the country that
he grew up in, as well as he who was
raised under the stars and stripes.
People of all nations get too pa
triotic in form, as to their country's
flag, but still it is a beautiful emblem
of national pride, when displayed in
right honor.
But as we gather the flags Of all
nations together, we cannot find one
but what is stained with bloodshed
not one but what has broken up
homes. "Is the mere honor of the flag
worth the price of the lives lost to
save that honor"
Every true patriotic person should
carry the flag that has never been
stained by bloodshed; the flag that
unites all hearts in brotherly love; the
flag that is never trampled in the
dust; the flag that never breaks up
homes but unites.
Lift high the banner with the words
peace" Unity" and Love" written
in bold letters, so that it will show
over the whole world, giving that
message of universal peace to men of
every nation:
1t should not be the nations pride
to be the mightiest in warfare or the
greatest defenders of the nations
flag, but to be the nation denoting the
pride of giving peace to the world.
The people make the nations, so
let's all bind together in one mighty
band, world wide, with the great
white flag floating over us, and give
forth to the world our patriotic en-
thusiasm in one great voice.
Lift high our white banner;
Let it float in the breeze;
Men of every nation,
United in "Peace."
We all have a national pride;
But together we stand;
For love for our fellowmen;
! In one universal band.
