Foolish Trading"

As producers and builders, the
American people excel all previous
and we arc a present
day marvel in business efficiency,
but i'll dealing with foreign Coun-
tries we are a sorry lot of traders.
Ever since VIM. Penn traded the
Indians a handful of trinkCtS for
what is now the State of Penn
sylvania, the American people
have been selling their birthright
To foreigners for Il mess of pottagc,
so to speak.
We export over $4,000, 900 of
cattle and their products per
annum, which feeds the nations of
Europe, and Our American heiresSes
spend a similar sum in buying and
maintaining counts, dukes and
titled peerages. These foreign
noblemen are, as a rule, absolutely
worthless---in fact become a
perpetual liablity---for it costs
more money to operate and keep
them i'll repair than i'll does to run
Our cotton mills. European royalty
puts the black sheep of its families
OH the block and our rich American
girls buy them and we virtually
exchange railroads, wheat fields
and millions of dollars worth Of
products of farm, mine and factory
for titled paupers who could not be
reSOld for any sum. 1t does not
require foreign treaties, a fleet of
war vessels or tariff revision to
stop this enormous loss. 1t needs
only common sense in the homes
of the rich.
We export $4,000, 900 of lumber
and timber, and American tourists
spend a similar amount in motoring
over Europe and sightseeing in
foreign lands although the most
enchanting scenes of the world arc
OH the American continent.

Uncle Sam Wants
Better Children

The federal Department of Labor
has established a Children's Bureau
TO teach parents how to care for
children and has just issued n
booklet on Parental Culture"

For some time Uncle Sam has
been paving considerable attention
to the improvement OF hogs,
chickens and livestock, as well AS
teaching us how to raise pumpkins

to find attention now being turned

a correspondent writes to the
Development Bureau to find
market for his eggs. The manner
in which eggs are gathered and
marketed III Southwest Louisiana
makes the answer to that request a
difficult one.
OF course, eggs may be sold on
any market every day i'll the week
but, it must be remembered eggs,
as the poet says about things, are
not what they seem The con
sumner i'll the cities wants perfectly
fresh eggs and is willing to pay
for them: the merchant wants to
sell fresh eggs, but he has only
stale eggs to offer.
What is the solution? The answer
is. put none but fresh eggs on the
market. This is about the easiest
,hingS in the world to do. but
unfortunately, it is about the most
difficult thing i'll the world to
make the producer realize its sim
plicity and necessity.
How may it be done? The first,
the absolutely essential step is, to
get together. Forty farmers living
in the same neighborhood agreeing
to keep enough hens to produce
only three dozen eggs per day on
each farm, can market their pro
duct every day, thereby guarantee
, ing freshness and securing from
ten to fifty per cent above current
market quotations.
There's plenty of good money
i'll this. The poultry business APP
pealS naturally to women and girl,
and by making them partners il
the business the work will be don,
