Peru has hitherto bought its coal
from Australia and England, but is
now ready to spend S1,000,000 for
American coal. Consul General Hig-
ginson in New York urges American
bankers to establish branches in his
country so as to create direct Peruv-
ian credits here, and so facilitate this
and other transactions. This shows
how much will have to be done before
the United States can command a
large South American trade.

at the Stag Reception.

The stag" reception which was held
at the Y. NJ C. A last evening proved
to be a great success. A large num-
Der of both the old and the new mem
bers was present, and in less than no
time the new ones were made to feel
as if they had always been members
of the association.
The guests were entertained by
class in the swimming pool, and in
contrast to the autumn leaves which
decorated the lobby, the splash of the
swimmers made one think of the first
warm days of the spring. Following
the aquatic events was an interesting
game of indoor baseball, the local men
cleaning up the Davenporters by the
close score of five to four. The lineup
was as follows:
DAVENPORT. ROCK ISLAND.
Nelson 80. First Base. Achtenhagen
B. Bell -. Second Base. -. Koerber

The game was characterized by its
liveliness.

welcoming the new members into the
