EXPECTATIONS RECORD BROKEN
Great Demand In Europe For The
Products of This Country

WASHINGTON, Nov. WARS de-
mand on the American graneries
mills and packing houses, as shown
today in an analysis by the depart
ment of commerce, resulted in record
expectations of breadstuffs, meats
and other food articles during Septem-
Der. The value of foodstuffs sold
abroad last month was S68,49O, 1889,
nearly double that of SEPTEMBER a
year ago when the total was $685.
624.
The war demand for wheat brought
exports for the three months ending
with September to the highest point
ever reached IN any corresponding
period. Total exports, including
flour in terms of wheat in the three
months aggregated 89,25o,O0O bushls,
compared with 100000 bushels in
that period year ago. For Septem-
Der the exports of -four were about
normal but the wheat sold abroad
was more than twice that exported
during the month. The wheat total
was 26,000,000 bushels. France bought
7,572,000 bushels and the United
Kingdom 6,64O,0O0: the Netherlands
100000, while other European ma
tons brought 100000 bushels. More
than 2,560,000 bushels were exported
to Canada while another effect of war
was the shipment of $4,000 bushels
to Brazil. Exports of flour to Latin
America nearly doubled those of Sep
TENDER one year ago.
Exports Of fresh beef in September
amounted to 100000 pounds, eleven
times that sent abroad in September,
1918. The three million pounds of
canned beef exported was eight
times that sold in September last
year. The increase in refined sugar
exports was tremendous In Septem-
Der 52,290,773 pounds were shipped
abroad compared with 3,924,540 one
year ago.
Expectations of cattle and sheer
decreased compared with September
of last year.

Embroidery is also used to a great
extent this year. Not the fine small
embroidery, but the large sprawley
varietiey, which is done in more or
less coarse silk or wool and is most
effective.
In the illustration of the coat the
Cossack silhouette, which | have
spoken of in the forepart of this let
ter, may be noted. The closeness of
the coat at the shoulders and the
flare at the bottom show the latest
cut for coats. Skunk fur is used for
the rolling collar, the cuffs and the
dottom of the coat. Frogs add the
military note which is so popular on
coats of many styles.
This same style may also be seen
in coats of fur and fur-cloth, while
the bands in this case are Of contrast

short, close fur, or fur of merely
contrasting color, are combined into
a coat of luxurious warmth and good

FOUR 0 DRY STATES

tiers not in the long run that a battle now and then is
lost. Progress usually is made by steady gains, and
not by leaps and bounds. The advance is not UNI
mixed with retrogression, but the average IS for ad-
vancement and progress. This year, with a fVe-to-
two victory, we have made a tremendous step toward
the final overthrow of the liquor business in America.
The liquor trade journals are saying a great deal
about the victories the vets have won in California
and Ohio, but not a word about the defeats in Ore
gon, Washington, Colorado and Arizona. They won't
have a great deal to say next year when Idaho and
some other states go dry.

The unrighteous can do nothing unless permit
ted by the righteous. For there are more good folks
in America than bad folks. If this were not SO, then
the Christian religion, in the world nearly two thou
sand years, were a failure. Righteous people believe
in the ultimate triumph OF righteousness, but they do
not always work toward a realization of that great,
"far-of event." If every Christian and moral man in
America were alive, active, aggressive and doing his
part, the liquor business would cease within a twelve
month. The church is in the forefront Of the battle,
but too many of its members are tagging ~pitiably be-
hind.

third of November, four of those states have been
added to the Prohibition column. Oregon, Washing
ton, Colorado and Arizona have put out their saloons,
and have given up their allegiance to license.
Ohio and California, like Ephraim, are still join
ed to their idols. But, of course, the end is not yet
in those states. Already, with the smoke of battle
hardly cleared, the temperance forces are planning
next years fight.
The result of the November election gives a two
thirds victory to the drys. To have captured four
states out Of six voting on the statewide question IS
no mean achievement. But that is not all, In Ore
gon, the voters were not content with statewide Pro
~hibition, but on the same day voted on local option,
and thereby put saloons out Of a lot Of exceedingly
wet cities.
In the states that went wet all is not lost, for in
each case a splendid dry organization has been built
up, which will be utilized the next time a campaign
is on.
All the way around the drys have cause to be
thankful because Of the outcome. When Virginla's
victory on September p is added, making five dry
states in ~forty-fve days, the ratio is better still. A
victory of five in seven is a great victory.
The drys in the two states are not a whit dis
couraged. They feel disappointed, of course, because
their states did not win, but, on the other hand, they
are glad that the solution of the liquor problem has
come nearer its end because the other five states have
gone dry.
In Tuesdays elections the fact that the liquor
question is a national issue is emphasized. Every
person, wet Or dry, in each of the voting states, was
interested in the outcome in every state. If his own
state did not 60 to suit him, he had faith that the re-
turns would show that another state had gone right.
In Ohio the abominable home-rule proposition was
voted in. California also adopted an amendment al
most as bad as that which won in Ohio. But there is
no Encouragement in this. Especially in Ohio the
liquor men have, by causing the adoption of the wet
amendment, postponed the day of reckoning, but they
have made that day all the more certain. They have
heaped up for themselves the wrath of the people.
Their home rule amendment, put into operation, will
thrust saloons into territory that does not want sa-
looms. Their greed will be the death Of them.
In voting the four states dry the people Of those
commonwealth have liberated five millions of Our
population from saloon rule. The cause is marching
on.

Temperance Aspect of theLWar

What will be the results of the European conf1agra-
ton? This question is being asked by statesmen and
moralists. One result is quite certain. The cause OF
temperance will be greatly advanced.
Already the car of Russia has abolished for
all time the governments monopoly of Intoxicating
liquors.
In England several organizations are issuing
strong appeals to the army and civilians alike to prac-
tice total abstinence.
