Has Expenses Well in Hand.

We are not at present keeping an
itemized account of our expenses, but we
cid do SO for two years. and we have
we'll in hand the amounts that We can
afford to expend for certain items, and
further. We try to sec to 1t that the ex
penses do not exceed these maximum
figures. or in cas-" they do for one item,
to endeavor to cut down on another Item
accordingly. Looking back over our old
account book. and taking an average of
monthly expenditures for seven months,
! derive the following: Table expense,
S23.16: rent, 81; miscellaneous house
hold expenses. S1n1: laundry, toilet ar
ticles. barber fees. etc. S2.:;2; clothing,
SS.31. church. gifts, charity. etc. includes
Christmas shopping, &.11: heat and
light. Sc.16: building and loan payments,
s1n.3I: papers. stamps. stationery, etc,
Si.Jn: car fare and travelling expenses,
81 100: insurance. s.; luXuries and mis-
cellaneous sundries. $50: furniture etc,
G-a total of S92 Sc This is more than
a monthly salary of SSi.;;:; However,
these items We're taken from our ac-
counts for the latter part of 1872 and
carly part of 1919: at which time | was
ireceiving a salary of 500 a month.
During this period the table expenses
included the subsistence of three. myself.
wife and a sster-in-law. In regard to
table expenses. thew would have been
from s. TO s. more a month had not
economy been exercised in the marketing,
and in planning the menus. We were
brought up in the country. where it is
the custom to provide plentiful table,
and although We have not carried out this
practice since being in Washington. We
always have plenty of good. wholesome
food without being luxurious. 1t will be
noted that the above itemized list includes
an item of building and loan payments.
We took out shares in a home building
and loan association to an extent which
required a payment of $40 a week. when
We first came to Washington, and all the
money we have paid into the association
is a clear saving. We are required to
pay the So a week or be fined. and il is
not possible to withdraw our savings
except twice a year. July ! and January
J. BY this method one is more apt to
save than when depositing ones money
ia a local bank where ii is readily avail
able. or carrying il i'll ones pocket The
money which We deposit in the building
and loan association pays between ! and
per cent interest. Recently we reduced
these payments to Sl.1J week, lit
tie less than 800 year and ] took out
sufficient additional insurance instead to
make a total of $500. As this is par
endowment insurance, the premiums paid
in are in the nature of savings. | am
quoting from 1872 and 1919 expenses be-
cause they more nearly approximate pres
ent living costs. During the year and q
nalf when | was receiving but $1,000 q.
year. we kept up our monthly payments
of $40, which means that our actual living
expenses could rot have been more than
about 81, a month

MISSISSIPPI
RIVER FLOODS
V.-Mississippi-Pa
Trade Route.
Bv Frederic J. Haskin.
By Frederic J. Haskin.

Often spoken of as twin projects. IN
that both are giant undertakings even
for an age of confident engineering. the
control of the Mississippi river and the
construction of the Panama canal bear
still more fascinating relationship to
one another. and one which is startling
in it's promise. This Is their compile
mentary relationship as elements of
new world trade route. That the engi-
neers building at Panama and along the
national river are laying the foundations
for the worlds greatest avenue of com
merce, Mssissippi-Pa Panama canal-Pa-
cifc ocean route, is the unavoidable con-
viction forced home by consideration of
these two waterways CONFORMITY.
Containing LAO, $50 square miles within
its basin. or about one-half of the pro-
ductive area of the country, and reach
ing. with its tributaries. the grain, stock
and ore markets of the northwest and
west and the factories of the middle
states. the Mississippi river system forms
widespread network of waterways ar
ranged to the greatest advantage Tor
gathering the CountryS products. The
Panama canal forms the strategic key
necessary to the fullest realization of the
rivers Importance. With its completion.
shortest waterway is opened between
the largest industrial center and the
markets of the east.
The Tilted States is the worlds great
est manufacturer, and there is every rea-
son to believe that it will steadily con-
tinue to increase its present lead. The
output of its industries has grown from
four and one-fourth billions of dollars
in 1870, 10 five and third billions in
1850, nine and one third billions in 1890
thirteen billions in 1900. and is now more
than twenty billions. OF these growing
totals, the Mississippi valley produced
- per cent in 1870. 30 per cent in
1880. 81 per cent in 1880, while today it is
producing about 10 per cent

amounts of present Pacific trade. a gauge
is given for the estimation Of that vol
une of business which should come to
the gulf city through the opening of the
Panama canal and the improvement of
the Mississippi river. with its tributaries.
to the fullest possibilities for navigation.
The total value of merchandise entering
the western ports of America other than
the United States is greater than $500, 0C0,-
OOo each year. This trade is mounting
swiftly. China is taking approximately
.O.OOO,OO0 worth OF goods each year.
Her 40OOOO,OO0 of people are just deter
mining to share in western civilization.
This determination should bring with it a
growing demand for commodities of the
west that will climb to staggering total
value. Japans imports amount to about
s3Oo,0o0O0O year. About $3.50. 600
worth of goods is taken annually by
Hongkong. Australia and New Zealand
together take S40O.OOO,O00 worth. The
Philippines and the Hawaiian Islands i'm
port value S75O0O,OGO yearly.
The connection Of Argentina to the Pa
ciic coast by rail offers direct route
via Panama to this country. whose an
nual imports amount to $3O0,0OO,OOO This
shows an aggregate Pacific trade of
81. 500, 100000. which may be expected to
double, treble and quadruple during the
present century. There remains about
$500, 100000 worth of trade done by ports
on the western coast of the United
States. in which the twin projects should
aid the Mississippi valley to win an ever
increasing share.
,, Among the principal articles of inter-
| national trade the United States produces
three fourths of the worlds corn. two
thirds Of its cotton. two-thirds of its pc
tro1eum. one-half of its copper, one-half

fold with coming years of progress
seems assured by indications of present
growth, and is made doubly certain by
the building Of the Panama canal.
Thus ,ne Mississippi has it's sources in
one OF the most productive regions of
the world. and the future of this region
is only limited by the will of the people
who inhabit it. With the improvement
and control of the great rivers channel.
and the channels of it's principal tribu-
taries, the vast commercial surpluses
of the basin will have the advantage of
cheap water transportation to, the port
city, New Orleans. whence. by short
er routes than those enjoyed by COM
petitor nations of Europe, these goods
may be shipped through the Panama
canal to countries on the west coast of
South America and in the far east. New
Orleans will command the most signifi-
cant markets for manufactured products
This is an outline of the promise of the
nations two greatest engineering prof.
ects. the Atlantic-Pacific canal and the
improvement of its national river. With
the successful completion of both there
is great probability that the trade map
of the world will undergo a wonderful
Encouragement. With other things. it
seems to indicate that the worlds trade
will be gradually diverted from the At
lantic to the Pacific ocean.
The western coast of South America
lies nearly due south of the mouth of
the MISSISSIPPI
Most Direct Route pi and. there
Is Via New Orleans. t loae 'n'ous
New Orleans has the most direct route.
The distance from New Orleans to Yoko-
hama, the trade center of Japan, by way
of Panama is e,26S miles, against 14.471
miles by way of the Suez canal. New
Orleans to Shanghai the commercial
center of China. via Panama, is 1924
miles. as compared with 1880 miles via
Suez. To Hongkong, one of the chief
distributing ports of merchandise to
eastern Asia, the distance via Panama is
10S3O, while via the Suez it Is 10. 500. The
Philippines by way of Panama are 1898
miles, as against 1896 miles by way of
the Suez. Melbourne. the largest Aus
tralian commercial port is 9.427 miles
distant from New Orleans by way of
Panama and 14,3O3 via Suez- American
goods find especial favor in Australia,
and, likewise, our exports to New Zea-
land are rapidly increasing The distance
from New Orleans. via Panama, to Well
ington New Zealand is 1889, against
II, $50 via the SueZ.
Thus the canal will shorten steamship
routes from New Orleans to Manila 1853
miles: to Hongkong, 2.O62 miles: to Shang-
hal, 3, 1876: to Melbourne. 1876: to Hoko-
hama. 2n3, and to Wellington, 1851 So
the canal tremendously promotes the ad-
yantageS of New Orleans as a trading
port but more than this, the waterway at
Panama gives to the Mississippi port the
advantage over London. the present dom
nant city in oriental trade, by bringing
it the nearer of the two to most of these
ports The New Orleans routes will be
shorter by 500 miles to Shanghai. by 1913
to Melbourne. by 1877 to Yokohama and
4 $40 miles to Wellington. 1t is proper
to assume that command of the markets
of ali those countries bordering upon the

GULLIBLE SHEEP MEN

For some weeks past men have been circulating among the sheep
lmcn OF Nevada getting options, q their spring wool clip al prices
ranging about Is and IA cents a pound. As the sheep mcn did not
get as much last year they thought that they were getting mighty
good bargains at those figures and they signed up the options with
alacrty thinking that they had better get things IN black and while be
fore the wool buyers heard about the passing OF the Democratic
tariff Legislation.
Now these Nevada wool growers have walked up. They have dis
covered that wool is selling in adjoining state, at 10 and Is cents a
pound and may go even higher. They can't understand how it is po"
sne when their Republican new rapcrs have been telling them all
the time that the Democrats were preparing to destroy the wool i'll
du,try and that The minute the Underwood tif bill a signed wa-
a good time to get rid OF sheep and unload wool before the industry
was wiped out.
They now figure out that tc wool buyers got those articles IN
the newspapers just before their agents came along and by throwing
a scar into them were enabled to ,ccur better bargains
Tn Appeal advises the wool growers in the future to exercise a
in high tariff newspapers This advice may be i little late Tor this
year, but nay be OF some value in 1915.

PREACHING AND PRACTICE

purposes OF (rueD restraint and runi,hcmcnt, ard set up 4 commits

Our own impression is thai in the days when the Commerce COM
missions powers were chiefly those OF guide, counsellor and friend. ID
was not much OF a succcss-from the public standpoint 1t did not
counsel the looting OF The New Haven or the bankrupung of the
Frisco; it did lot guide Wall street into stripping the Fere Mar

syndicate' into drowning the Rock Island II a SCI OF water. But
these things happened, and the commission is w o without power

SOMEWHAT MIXED

There cen to be quite a misunderstanding owe the Hay
Iauccfort treaty regarding the Panama canal. They o claim that
the words all nations CT equal terms" did ct include the United
States Then why did not the men representing the United States add
the words "cxccpinS the United States, which nation shall be en-
titled to free tolls"
This a probably omitted because IN plain, unequvocal state
mcnt that anybody car understand is considered nut of place in a
diplomatic document A TAI who could write plain English is never
allowed to mix up in such matters. The English nation made a ten
strike when they got John Hay to represent the American people in
