ADVANTAGE TO Be TAKEN
OF EUROPEAN STRUGGLE
Another Statistician Shows Whore
and How South May Profit
by War.
VIRGINIA HAS GOOD CHANCE
States East of Mississippi and South
OF Ohio River Can Supply Many
Things heretofore Imported ut
Heavy Cost.

The statistician of the Southern Set
Element and Development organization
IN which n number OF Richmond and
Southern manufacturers and jobbcrs
are Interested, has figured out that the
twelve States east OF the Mississippi
and south of the Ohio River possess
latent resources which can be utilized
TO all millions of dollars to their an
nual output because OF the European
war. On this he said
The United States imports raw and
manufactured goods annually amount
ing to hundreds of millions of dollars
from England, Germany. France. Rus
STA, Belgium and Austria Hungary. all
of whom are row at war. and from
Switzerland, Holland. Norway. sweden.
Spain and Portugal. One of the re-
suits OF the war Will be to cut of these
sources OF our supplies, at least so for
as concerns the Ne tons actually en-
Gagged In war Business relations with
the other neutral European countries
Will naturally he disturbed by reason
of tho lack of shipping FACILITIES and
extra insurance risks.
"A study of the lists of these imports
reveals the fact that quite 4 large pro-
portion of them could be made in the
S'phii bAt " iHN ma ltildl now lying
idle, or if the South does not contain
some Of the necessary raw materials
il can Import them from Central and
South America and other countries
just as easily as European nations have
imported them.
The South consumes It's share of
these imports probably TO al amount Of
over 500, 100000 annually. In some
cases suitable substitutes can be found.
and tho Southerner is not behind in
constructive ingenuity. some one may
say the South cannot compete with the
cheap labor of Europe 1t must be re-
memhered that probahl - per cent OF
Eurone's cheap labor has been removed
from the field OF competition and placed
on the held of battle and, therefo fore Is

PROPER UTILIZATION OF THE
sOITIf'S LATENT RESOURCES

In 1913 citizens OF the United states
paid import duties 70 the amount Of
$Sl2,262,2l5. This amounted to every
citizen paying an average of S2l7-
Based OH the 1910 census and on this
average tho citizens Of the twelve
Southern States east Of tho Mississippi
River and south OF the Ohio River paid
out the enormous amount of over $50
600 600 In import duties on foreign
made goods used by them. much OF
which could have been manufactured
IN the South out of it's own raw mate
rails or of those of South and Central
mericGn republics, whose import trade
is now SO much desired and sought for.
owing 10 the change of base Of the
worlds trade by reason of the war.
The utilization of the South's latent
resources in mineral and soil products
means the development Of the South in
wealth and population, While there are
hundreds of articles OF foreign manu-
facture imported with which the South
can supply herself as we'll as other sec
tions and countries, two of the Souths
most important assets figure quite
prominently IN the import list. namely
cotton and tobacco.
IN 1918 the United States imported
from Europe cotton cloths, thread faces.
handkerchiets, etc, 10 the amount Of
/ over S5oo00,o0o. and probably nearly
( all of these goods were manufactured

vast sum could have been added 10

CHICAGO, April 16.-''The COM

Der of people in producing, preparing

Cooperation Spirit.
THE spirit of cooperation is need
ed to counteract the spirit of antag-
onism in the modern industrial and
commercial world. In education the
EFFORT should be to emphasize the
common interests to be gained through
harmonious concerted action OF all
concerned rather than to the snort
time indlvidualistic point OF view
which nouriches antagonism and re-
tards the progress Of economy and
equity in the economic world.

ties involved ia the supplying Of the

BUSINESS-LIKE
METHODS ARE
A GREAT NEED
of Farm Producers in Market
ING Products, Says Chief of
U. S. Office of Markets.
tBY ASSOCIATES PREssl

CHICAGO April 16.-What the
feleral government is doing to help the
farm producers achieve more bust
ness like methods was told today by
Charles j. Brant. chief, Office OF
markets, United States Department
of Agriculture, to the Second Ma
tional Conference on Marketing and
Farm Credits =.
This national conference, said ne.
is the reflection of a nationwide de-
sire on the part of the producer, for
q larger net return for the products
of his labor and. on the part of the
consumer, for more reliable goods
at the lowest possible price
Better Marketing Plan.
For many decades cheap virgin
soils made cheap production possible,
so that farmers have only felt the
need of concerning themselves with
matters of large crop production.
But higher land values, higher paid
labor, the call for expensive fertt-
lizers and the increased expense Of
fighting insect and fungous pests,
together with decreased yields IN
many cases, have emph ASKED the
need of a less expensive and more
business-like marketing plan.
Cooperation in the conduct of az
ricultural enterprises means in brief,
on the part OF the farmer, attending
to his own business instead of letting
someone else attend to it. l do not
mean by this that he shall go on as
at present attempting to attend to
his own business after he has worn
out both mind and muscle with the
problems and labor of production,
but that he shall organize In such an
effective way and in unit of sufficient
size as to enable aim TO employ ca
pable business talent to serve as
sales department for the farm indus
try / do not mean by this that we
shall have nation or even a state
wide farm marketing agency, but
do mean that every farming commu-
nifty in my opinion must ever be the
basis of any Improvement in this
line, should be organized for the Ell
ficient conduct of both its producing
and marketing work. Small far
mers producing less than carlots OF
any commodity can not hope to pack,
crate, transport and sell to advant-
age Practically every Industry ana
interst in the United States including
labor. is organized to a considerable
extent Organization means coop
Grafton. and cooperation means or

Joyful Anticipation

of distress to mar the complete joy of
expectation. But this is quite overcome
by the advice of so many women to use
Mothers Friend" This is an external
application designed to so 1ubrtcate the
muscles and to thus so relieve the pres
sure reactfng on the nerves, that tho
natural strain upon the. cords and lfga-
rnents is not accompanied by those severe
pains said to cause nausea, morning sick
ness and many local distresses. This
sple Said embrocation is known to a multi
tude Of mothers.
Many people believe that those remedies
which have stood the test of time. that
have been put to every trial under the
varying conditions of age. weight, general
health etc, may be safely relied upon.
And Judging by the fact that Mothers
FRIEND has been In continual use since
our grandmother's earlier years and is
known throughout the United States it
may be easily inferred that it is some
thing that women talk about and gladly
recommend to prospective mothers.
