FOREIGN TRADE REVIVED.
War No Longer Interfering With
Oversee Business.


Des Moines, Dec 3-At any rate it
is not lack OF trade across the ocean
that stands in the way OF great pros
perity, IL anything does. according to
the monthly report letter issued by
the Iowa National Bank. 1t is made
very plain that no longer can it be
properly claimed that the war in
Europe has put an end to foreign
trade. Business is going on across the
ocean with little change from old con-
ditions.
American business men should
note" says the report, that Europe
shipped us our usual quota of goods
during October. regardless of the war.
and that South Africa produced more
gold than In any month in the past
year despite the rebellion in that
country. Those countries seem to
realize they must do business in spite
Of the war, and this country being
the only neutral world power should
| be making the most of it's enviable
position
More specifically as to the trade
I conditions as affecting foreign bust
ness the report says:
October imports totaled $4,000. 900
! compared with $133.000.000 last year,
an evidence that Europe. in spite of
her condition, is seeing that we get
anything we want which she has to
sell. Our exports for October were
$4,000, 900 compared with $272.000.000
last year. giving us favorable trade
balance OF more than $57,000.0o0 and
| making our export gain for October
| over the month OF September $39.
100000. The Improvement in foreign
trade continued thru the first half Of
November and is practically certain
to continue its upward trend
AS showing that all business condi-
tons are excellent it is stated that the
net earnings Of the railroads for
the month Of October showed gain
of per cent over the previous year.
and the following as to general pros
perity in all lines Of business:
Dividend and interest disbursements
for November will amount to $112.000.-
5000 compared with s125.ooO.ooo year
ago. Dividends make up sS1 900. 900 OF
the amount and interest nearly SAL
000, 900, the dividends being practically
the same as last year and interest
about 3l3.Ooo,0oo less. The dividend
| showing is remarkable in the face OF
present conditions and shows how well
the large and stable concerns of the
country have weathered the storm.
! The year-end dividend Gisbursem ents
will show the reduced earnings OF these

The interstate commerce commission

cided the eastern rate in August II re-
fused to grant the 5 per cent raise de-
manded and suggested as an alterna-
tive TO the carriers that they add to
their revenues by cutting off every free
service of every kind and all special
privileges. The carriers have evil
IDENTIFY decided that this stopping in
transit is one of the things meant to
be cut off They are putting it up to
the commission to say whether TINS
is what was meant.
The shippers say that this is not
free service at all. They pay S. for
each stop to unload. The carriers say
this is merely nominal and not COM
pensatory The issue will involve
much that is open to controversy,
But the interesting part of the whole
fight Will be to see whether the rail-
ROADS Will fix upon the commission the
necessity of backing up or granting
something which they all know will

PEPPER TALKS.

DO YOU ever get dissatisfied and
discouraged out of sorts with
yourself? Here's a little home RENE
dy that is sure to benefit you-get
hold of a Big Thought and let it run
around in your brain for a while.
OF Big Thoughts was the Universe
made
Little Thoughts never made the
Steamboat. the Ocean Gable, the Tel
ephone, the Telegraph, the Electric
light-a great Nation. Big Thoughts
had TO do these Jobs And every one
of these Big Thoughts had to hunt
until it found Big Man to boost it
to Success.
OF Big Thoughts are all Big Men
made. Some people wouldn't know
what to do with Big Thought if ii
came to them. Thousands of real
people run away from Big Thoughts
as they would if a cyclone came their
way There are others who immedi.
ately 20 out to meet and welcome
every Big Thought that gets anywhere
near them OF the latter History
talks about
OF Big Thoughts is Progress made.
Nearly every bit of Ease and Op-
portunity that comes to you is a prod
uct of what Big Thoughts in the
world have made possible. Just think
this over. And before YOU lend your
influence and abilities TO the people
and organizations that make q busi-
ness of opposing every New Thing
that pokes out its head, THINK
Maybe a Big Thoughth IS in the New
Thing somewhere And if there is,
YOU support it, For

that the suit was brought for spite
work. because Gore had refused to
give the husband of the woman his
support for a federal appointment.
That the suit is a frame-up, is the gen
cral opinion, but not a frame-up to de-
feat Gore for the senate, but to hu-
initiate him and probably get dam
ages, but the people who know Cores
opponent for the senate will resent
any insinuation that it is a political
move to further his candidacy in any
manner.
Sidney Suggs is one of the clean
est men in the United States today

Eeen, and is now, Cores friend, and
there is no man on earth truer to his

a man to charge that the suit against
Gore is a political move is sufficient
evidence that they know nothing of
what they say. If every man in public
life was as clean as Sidney Suggs,
there would be no scandals and nves-
