Sunday School Officers.

The twenty-frst annual convention
of the Caledonia County Sunday
School Association met at East Hard
wick Friday September II. The at
tendance at the morning session was
above the average, being about 10,
and was much increased in the after
noon and evening. The presence of
Field Secretary Mrs. Edith Balch
Wright and the new General Secre-
tary Rev. Charles A. Boyd, added
much to the interest of the meeting.
The members of the convention
were welcomed and entertained by
the pastors and the people of the two
churches in a most generous and de-
lightful manner. The addresses were

Financiers Too Cautious.
1t is astonishing that the fnan-
ciers of a country in which poker is
a national custom should be so con-
servative as those of the United
States appear to be. Opportunity
never before knocked so loudly on
tany ones front door as she knocks
today on ours. She comes with both
arms filled with the trade of South
/ America, field that is ours by right
of a geographical position. But no
enthusiastic reception greets her.
The slight expense and risk involved
in securing her good gifts causes
delay that may prove disastrous.
The truth is that American dol
lars are timid They are not used
to taking the ordinary risks of new
business. The English pound is a
venturesome piece. Even the Ma
poleon, fond as it is of hiding in
an old sock under the rafters, is a
bold buccaneer compared with our
dollars American capital has
never been forced to venture uncer
gtain paths. The vast undeVeloped re-
sources of the country made invest
ments during the early part of the
last century easy and safe. Later
the building of railroads, with gov
eminent assistance, was attended
with very little risk. The recent re-
organization of industry was an en-
terprise in which the chickens could
be counted before they were hatch
ed.
These lines have already absorbed
as much capital as they can well use.
Our financiers must take up more
venturesome undertakings. New
capital must seek an outlet in in
creasing foreign trade: it must take
the necessary risks. The days of
hard headed business" and trust
company finance are nearing an end.
This is a time for dreamers, men
who see the big things ahead. In
dividual initiative must assert itself.
This is not time for sleek content
ment, but for lean hungry men and
such as think O. nights.-Boston

Republican Ticket.

The Republican state convention
named a strong ticket. In the choice
of Charles w. Gates as standard
bearer the party acted wisely. To
have put Clement on the same tick
ct with Dillingham; would have been
suicidal. Any of the other three
avowed candidates would have been
acceptable, but in looking over those
who were clamoring for the nomina-
ton and choosing a man who was
not, in the accepted sense of the
word, a candidate, the convention
selected a winner. No other party
can name a man who will defeat him.
Senator Dillingham; name was
the only one before the convention
as a candidate for the United States
senate, and his nomination rep e.
scented the choice of probably about
every man in the convention. He is
considered a conservative but not
intensely enough conservative to en-
title him to be ranked with the AL
drich-Cannon wing of the party.

WAR TINE PRICES
or FOOD EXPECTED
In Event of a General War in
Europe Say Agricultural
Department Omcials.
tse1ciAL 10 1nr rEL..nA-.

WASHINGTON. ID. C, Aug. g.
War time" food prices may be ex-
pected II Europe is plunged into a
general war, Department Of Agricul-
ture officials declared today. The de-
mand from abroad may send prices
soaring to such prohibitiye heights
that it has been suggested that 1t may
be necessary to declare an embargo
on the expectation OF food stuffs from
the United States.
An embargo would be the last re-
sort to keep consumers in the United
States from actual starvation and
would require special action by the
president with sanction OF Congress,
either by a prohibition law or prohibi-
tive export tariffs on food.
1t is believed, however that the
inadequacy OF the United States mer-
chant marine, and the fact that for
eign commerce would be legitimate
war prey for the combating nations,
would prove an obstacle sufficiently
effective to expectation to make an
embargo unnecessary.
The United States will be expected
to feed Europe If a general war en-
sues. This country stands ready to
export surplus this year of 800, 000,-
900 bushels of wheat, the extraordi-
nary crop this year, making this rec
ord breaking expectation possible.
Last year the United States exported
100000 bushels Of wheat, and the
total value of the grain products ex-
ported was $210,000,000 II wheat
should happen to reach $3.50 bushel
as some exporters are beginning to
predict, the value OF the wheat exports
alone would be close to half billion
dollars.
Beef. already at record breaking
prices. may advance to prices entirely
out Of reach OF the average consumer,
the Bureau Of Statistics asserts. Last
year meat and packing house product
shipped out Of the country were worth
$162.000.000. Beef now is scarcer
than ever before In this country, and
with the additional demand created by
the European war 1t will become a
luxury instead of food, the experts
predict.
The last time the United States was
called upon to feed Europe while h
fought, was in 1S71-73, during the
FrancoLGerman war. This country
shipped nearly third Of It's wheat
crop and received as high as s1.43 for
1t. This price has been surpassed
only once, and that was in the Civil
war, when the top price of $3.50
bushel was reached.
1T is true that European war
would benefit the United States some"
said an official of the Bureau of Sta
tistics, "but the trouble is, that the
benefits would go into the pockets of
too few persons. Some of the farm
ers and dealers would get all the bene-
fits, and the average consumer would
be pretty hard hit by the advanced
prices.

F[AGMAN DIES
OF HIS INJURIES
Peter Brown, Struck by Freight

Lumberport, an employee OF the Bal
timore and Ohio Railroad Company,

that it was Brown, his flagman, and
not brakeman.
Brown was placed on the train,
brought to this city and rushed to a
hospital where he died few hours
later. He was badly cut up and
mashed.

knowledge of it being when members
of the train crew found Brown lying
in dying condition along side the
track
No funeral arrangements have been
made as yet.

THE WHOLE BODY
NEEDS PURE BLOOD

The bones, the muscles, and all the
organs of the body depend for their
strength and tone and healthy action
on pure blood.
If the blood is very impure, the
bones become diseased; the muscles
become enfeebled, the step loses its
elasticity, and there is inability to
perform the usual amount Of labor.
The skin loses its clearness, and
pimples, blotches and other eruptions
appear.
Hoods Sarsaparilla makes pure
blood. 1t is positively unequaled in
the treatment Of scrofula and other
humors, catarrh, rheumatism, dys-
pepsia, loss of appetite, that tired
feeling. Be sure to get Hoods and
get it today. All druggists
