STARVED FOURTEEN DAYS.
Iowa Brood Sow Pinned Under Corn
Crib Fourteen Days, With Moth
ing to Eat or Drink.

West Liberty, Iowa, March "A
remarkable and successful hunger
strike record has been established
by brood SOW belonging to Fred
Tharp, former assistant postmaster
in West Liberty. Apparently the ami
NAL is none the worse for her four
teen days without water and with
only few grains of corn which trio
killed. through the floor of the corn
crib beneath which she was impris-
oned.
Mr.. Tharp, who will shortly occu-
ply farm, purchased ten brood sows
at farm sale and rather than drive
the animals to town for the short
term before moving to his farm he
left them in the care of Norris Will
son, well known farmer living north
of town. A few days after he receiv-
ed the pigs, Wilson noted the absence
of one of them, and although minute
search and inquiry was made it could
not be found. Two weeks after the
sow was first missed, Wilson heard
sounds of granting from beneath one
of his cribs and upon investigation
found the missing SOW, wedged be-
tween the stills of the floor. A sec
ton of the floor was taken out and
upon invitation the SOW clambered
from her prison, sound in every way
although somewhat lessened in
weight. In these fourteen days she
could not have secured water and
as the floor was tight, but a small
amount of corn could have fallen
within her reach.

WARS COST TO US.

Washington, Sept. 26.-Tremen-
douS decreases in American ex-
port trade during August, result
ing from war in Europe, were
shown in detail today by compari-
sons of the department of COM
merce with the business of one
year ago.
Export trade to Germany practi-
cally came to a StandStill, while
that to France and Great Britain,
whose shipping has not been so
seriously interrupted, shows only
a comparatively small decrease.
Trade to Belgium and that to Ar
gentine, which depends largely on
foreign shipping, suffered heavily.
The decrease in AuguStS ex-
port trade to Europe as a whole,
amounted to S58,32O,619. That
represented in a large measure
the decrease in credit abroad as
employed to offset American OBJ
legations. The falling off in ex-
ports reached more than seventy
million dollars. One year ago Au-
gust the total was S1,S79,009,02O,
compared with $11O,369,24O last
month.
The effect upon American inn
port trade was not so great. Last
month it amounted to S129,767 800
compared with S137,651,553 in
August, 1913. The imports from
Germany and Great Britain did
moi show. as large a decrease as
those from France. The decrease
from Europe as a whole, was
about $17,OOO,OOO.
Manufacturers showed the larg-
est decrease in exports among the
various groups. FOOdStuffs, al
most maintained their level of one
year ago.

REGENERATION OF WALL ST.

Pres. Wilson and Sec. McAdoo are
credited with saving the situation in
Wall St when the news came that
Germany and Russia were at war. 1t
was the voice OF the government which
controlled when for lack Of a j. p.
Morgan or a Tappen the financial cen
ter OF the country was in a dilemma.
London had pointed the way by
closing her stock exchange and New
York knew it hours in advance. yet
it was only few minutes before the
time for opening the exchange that a
decision was reached TO keep il closed.
The suggestion which forced this de-
cisiOn came from Washington and it
revealed to Wall St the advantage of
following a public welfare policy over
submitting to be tamely guided by sell
fish leaders
In 1898 Frederick ID. Tappen was
the deciding power and a panic fol-
lowed. In 1907 it was J. Pierpont
Morgan who produced the same result
IN 1914 Pres. Wilson and Sec. McAdoo
We're the controlling influence and
Wall st. had only mental panic The
stock exchange was closed. a panic was
averted and the country was saved
the disastrous results
1t is said that a new spirit pervades
the street. A better understanding
has been established between the
financial center and Washington and
the day OF the leader has gone by.
There are said to be plenty of men in
Wall St today who Will go the limit
in opposing what is wrong They will
no longer be governed through fear.
