FOOLISH TRADING"

As producers and builders, the
American people excel all previous
civilization and we are present-day
marvel i'll business efficiency, but i'll
dealing with foreign countries we are
a sorry lot of traders. Ever since VIM
Penn traded the Indians handful OF
trinkets for what is now the State of
Pennsylvania, the American people
have been selling their birthright to
foreigners for a mess of pottage, SO
to speak We export over $50,0OO,000
of cattle and their products per an
mum, 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 rule, absolutely worthless
in fact become perpetual liability
and keep them in repair than it does to
run our cotton mills European roy
atty puts the black sheep of its fam
lilies on the block and our rich Ameri
can 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 tar
if revision to stop this enormous loss.
1t needs only common sense in the
homes of the rich. We export $751;
100000 of lumber and timber, and
American tourists spend similar
amount in motoring over Europe and
sightseeing in foreign lands although
the most enchanting scense of the
world are on the American continent

UNCLE SANS CHANCE.

1t is an i'll wind that blows no one
good. 1t is horrible thing to learn
of the devastation of property and the
loss of life that is being caused by the
great European war, and it is strange
to think that such a thing could come
about in this advanced and enlightened
age Civilization has practically had
a set back for long period of time.
1t matters not which faction wins in
Europe, the loss OF property Will be
such that it will take ages to rebuild.
1t will indeed be fortunate if this
country can handle itself SO as not to
become mixed up in the embroglio.
In the meantime it means much to
America, if her administration will
seize the opportunity, in the way OF
financial gain. The United States has
now the chance to establish a mer-
chant marine that never again can be
swept from the seas. She has also the
chance to advance her commerce with
South America and build it to point
where it can never again be lost The
rebuilding of the country that has
been, and will be devastated by war,
will call for all of the American pro-
ducts and manufactures that we can
possibly spare from our own home
markets Our country may even be
forced to manufacture things that we
have been taking from abroad for
years past. There is only one OBJ
STAGE in the way of doing this and that
is, will this government protect these
manufacturers in a business way after
war ceases and the foreign factories
start to make the same goods, at a
lower figure, probably, than we can
produce them? This is going to be
the stumbling block in the path of the
man of means who@is looking for
chance to invest his money. There is
no telling how long hostilities may
last in Europe and the man with cap
ital would want to know what pro-
lection he might expect from Uncle
Sam after the war is over There is
no doubt that the war is going to
make times prosperous in this coun
try, generally. We have bumper crops
of all kinds of farm produce and fruit,
which Europe will soon be glad to get.
Manufacturing throughout that coun-
try will be dead for sometime and Our
factories ought, therefore, to soon be
working over time The war will in
no way effect gold mining, and it is
likely to advance the price of silver,
tin and lead, leaving copper, for lime,
the only metal that will not be in act
i've demand. But, with the building
of manufactui ing plants at home there
will be some demand for copper and
the foreign demand will not altogether
cease at any time while with hostili-
ties settled in Europe there will be a
great demand for the red metal in the
rebuilding of those countries now at
war. The outlook is not at all bad for
the United States if she can keep out
of the mix-up. War is certainly hell
but It's an i'll wind that blows no one
good

During the last campaign the Dem
ocrats had much to say against the
rich-Vreeland bill, and dubbed it as
a product of the banking oligarchy of
the country Nevertheless, Mr.. Wilson
and Mr.. Bryan have had to fall back
on this currency measure to stave off
one of the biggest panics this country
ever saw, and the Democratic party
in the East has had to acknowledge
this very thing.

| am doing very well down here and
beginning to like the country, but |
still have warm spot in my heart
for old Nevada. Here are few verses
| scrubbed off the other day, and
when | wrote them you can imagine
my heart was in the right place, al
though my mind might have been
wandering trif1e.
NEVADA.
O, truly sovereign State
Is Nevada.
All that's good and wise and great
Is Nevada.
Every day or two read
How her laws and customs lead;
Heaven must be like, indeed,
To Nevada
Education is the rage
In Nevada.
People all are smart and sage
In Nevada
Every newsboy that you see
Has a Varsity degree;
Every cooks PHI d.
In Nevada.
Trusts and bosses never mix
In Nevada.
O, the lovely politics
In Nevada
Though the railroads boost the rate
High in every other State;
They are famously sedate
In Nevada.
Matrimony cannot fail
In Nevada.
Babies all are strong and hale
In Nevada
That's the state of married bliss
You have read about ere this;
None but Gods may COO and kiss
In Nevada.
People never lock their doors
In Nevada.
No one hardly ever snores
In Nevada.
Ivy drapes each prison wall
And the jails no more apall;
They are social centers, all,
In Nevada.
O, the State of States for me
Is Nevada.
That's the place where | should be,
In Nevada.
| would hasten to her, sure.
With glad and grateful roar,
Only Bolivia needs me more
Than Nevada.

place for spices

How many minutes are lost some
times by looking for a can or bottle
which has been pushed behind some-
thing else on the shelves? Here Is a
simple idea which can readily be ad-
pted: Have made set OF little
steps of various widths, having the
top step the narrowest. Make them
as far apart as the rest OF your can
nisters, cereal and spice Jars. Then
place the smallest cans on the top
shelf, the larger cans on the lower
shelf. and so on. In this way you
will have only one object occupying
the width OF shelf. and will never
have to look behind one thing TO find
another.
