Seizing a Trade Opportunity

st. Louis Post-Dispatch: What are
the mercantile and manufacturing in
terests of America doing to avail
themselves of the amazing opportuni-
ties for foreign trade suddenly opened
to them in consequence of the great
war? To movxe quickly and eff
fectively for grasping this trade
through such wise policies as will in
sure it's permanent retention is not
taking unfair advantage of our great
rivals in finance and commerce. While
a great part of the people of those
rival countries are engaged in war
and another part in the manufacture
of materials for carrying on the fight
ing, wants of the worlds peoples who
are at peace must be supplied. South
American diplomats and business men
are appealing to our dealers and ex-
porters and industrial leaders to fur
nish them with needful things, for
which they can no longer look to Eu-
rope. The trade of their Continent
with the nations whose productive ca
pacity has now undergone almost COM
plete paralysis amounted last year to
81 900, 100000. For the things that
Continent has to sell, the closing of
many ports in Europe must affect the
market. However, of these things,
we ourselves have been accustomed to
take very large proportion, which
will not be affected by the disturbance
abroad. Of the things they have to
buy Europe has heretofore applied a
large percentage; we a very small
percentage. With vigorous initiative
on our part these percentages can be
reversed. Asia's 25,OOO,000 of peo-
pie, in nearly 100000 square miles
of territory, will continue to have
needs irrespective of Europe's ability
to meet them. So will the islands of
the Pacific. So will the settled area
of Africa. The war has destroyed
trade conditions and the trade rela-
tions to which the world had adjusted
itself for hundred years. The neces-
sity for an entire readjustment Gre
ates the chance to transfer world
commercial supremacy in carrying de-
grees from London, from Liverpool,
from Antwerp, from Hamburg, from
Marseilles, from Odessa, to New
York, to Boston, to st. Louis, to
Philadelphia, to Galveston, to Mobile,
to New Orleans, to San Francisco. Is
this chance to pass without the most
energetic and intelligent and re-
sourceful effort on our part to utilize
it?

Bleeding Fish to Keep Them.

The Norway fisher cuts and bleeds
fish the moment they are caught. He
cuts the throat or bleeds them from
the tail. Fish so finished keep far
better. Fish are best just before
spawning time, thereafter they be-
come poor, then watery and unfit.
Some folk are grouched by herring
and mackerel, and will get sick every
time they eat 'em. No matter how
fresh the fish the people vomit, purge
and break out in bold hives. 1t Is not
uncommon to find dead oysters mixed
up in the heap. These dead ones are
liable to poison the live ones.

The Milky Way.

The milky way in the heavens is
composed of myriads Of fixed stars,
but It Is not true that they have any
influence that anybodys knows of on
the direction of the wind or other ele-
ment Of the weather of the earth.
Their apparent changes Of position are
due only to the changes Of position by
the earth in its daily and annual revo-
lutions. The stars in the milky way
are so far from the earth that 1t takes
thousands of years for the light from
them to reach US.

consin, in accordance with the law
passed by the last legislature will be
undertaken in a small way by the com
mission designated by the act. Gov
ernor McGovern, Game Warden Shots
and State Forester Griflths.

resary. BY invitation, there was pres
ent Alfred Won Cotzhausen of Milwau-
kee, an enthusiastic promoter Of wild
HE propagation. The question of
carrying out the policy of the State as
indicated in the law was discussed and

able for the purpose in Waukesha

pertinent and will cooperate with

Mr.. Shots does not believe that it
viii pay to attempt to propagate for
eign birds. He thinks that if the state
is to enter upon this work It should
coniine its endeavors to the native
birds. He says that in nearly all the
efforts of other states to breed foreign
birds there has been failure.
Wisconsin cannot do much with the
appropriation available, only $4,000.

some experiments at various points

WOMAN IS BURNED
To DEATH IN HOME
SAVES SPOUSE, AND THEN GOES
BACK FOR MONEY AND
PAPERS.
RESCUED HUSBAND MAY DIE
Remains at Fire Scene in Seant Attire
While Fremen Fight Flames
Pneumonia May
Result.

Port Washington - After saving
her husband from the flames which
destroyed their home, two miles north
of here, Mrs August Schlenyogt, 20
years old, persisted in the blazing
building into which she had ventured
the second time to save valuable pa
pers and money.
Schlenvogt. also 70 years old, is in
a serious condition from the shock and
exposure, and may die. Pneumonia
is fea red.
Although clad only in his under
clothing and blanket which someone
had thrown across his shoulders, the
aged man refused to seek shelter until
his wife's fate was LEARNED
He remained out in the cold for over
an hour despite his scanty attire and
the near zero weather.
When Coroner Horn was finally able
to enter the building, only a handful
of charred bones remained of the
woman's body.
When Schlenvogt saw his wife's re-
mains he dropped unconscious and was
cared for by neighbors. He recovered
after physicians had worked over him
several hours, but remains in a pre-
carious condition.
The couple were pioneer residents
of this section, having lived in the
family homestead over fifty years.
Mrs. SChlenyogt had gotten up at
$3.50 O'Clock to milk the COWS. A few
minutes later, from the barn, she saw
flames shoot from the roof of their
home.
Leads Husband to Safety.
She hurried into the house, aroused
her husband, who was stin sleeping,
and led him through the already
flame swept corridor down the stairs to
safety.
Then already weakened by the or
deal. She again entered the doomed
building to secure money and valuable
papers from an old trunk in the attic.
The husband remained outside. half
unconscious.
1t is thought, from the place in
which the charred skeleton was found,
that the woman persisted before she
reached the second floor.
BY the time the village FIRE depart
ment arrived the building was in ruins
and no relief measures We're possible.
Spectators tried to lead Schlenvogt
from the scene, but he refused to leave
and demanded to see his wife's body.
Mrs. Schlenvogt leaves, besides the
husband a large family of children,
all married and most of then living
near here.
