TO HELP OUR FOREIGN TRADE

Secretary Redfe1d's plan to estab- lish in Chicago, New Orleans and San Francisco information bureaus for the use of exporters is an excellent one. A similar bureau was opened recently in the New York custom house, and there is reason to believe that it has proved not only a convenience, but 8 source of profit, to merchants and manufacturers who want information about foreign markets.
 Through the cooperation of the de- partment of state,> American consuls returning to this country on leave of absence will periodically report at these bureaus. where exporters may come into personal touch with them, and the agents of the department of commerce, now Investigating foreign conditions, will do the same thing on their return
 Our foreign commerce is large, but it should be much slarger than it is. It is notorious that our South Ameri- can trade for instance. has suffered greatly from the failure of exporters to consider market conditions with the same care and intelligence exer- cised by the German and the British exporter.
 The superiority which Germany and Great Britain have obtained in many lines of South American trade has been largely due to the active coop eration of their consular services with manufacturers. Secretary RedheId's s plan will establish precisely the same cooperation here, and the resultant advantages should be great-Brook- ly.s4 Eagle.

HoPEFULNEss IN VERMONT.

In Vermont also business men are looking forward to 1914 hopefully. During the preholiday season some of our merchants were discouraged by the lack of sleighing and other con ditions favorable to trade. but a num- Der of them have now reported pe- riod of business largely in excess of that of last year, while they are pre- pairing for a. still larger business in the year just beginning.
 A heavy snowfall in Vermont such as has begun, means not only good go- ing for country patrons of merchants, but also favorable conditions for luyn- bering operations. Ordinarily a gen. erous covering of snow is regarded as favorable for a successful maple sugar season also.
 Our farmers have been receiving g good prices for their products. and with the general business and fnan- cial situation cleared, there will be a general tendency to act upon the supposition that business is to be bet ter and to buy accordingly.
 This widespread spirit of hope and confidence in the future is really what makes business good at any time, and it is the duty of all to cultivate a cheerful optimisn.-Burlingt Free Press.

ANIMAL ON FACE IS
 LATEST RUSSIAN FAD

Paris, Jan. 7.-FashfonabIe Russian women are now painting flowers on their faces, declares Sergius Diaghi- lew, of the Moscow Opera. Diaghllew says:
 The fashion was started by Nathe- lie Goutcharoff, the most celebrated woman painter in Russia. Princesses and other titled women can be seen in St. Petersburg and Moscow, not with flowers, but with horses and ele- plants painted on the sides of their faces, foreheads and necks in ultra marine blue.
 '.Nathelie asserts this softene the lines of the face. Now that pearls are so dear, women are having inni- tat'ons painted on their necks; the effect is very striking"

THE PEANUT AS
 A FLORIDA CROP.

In Florida considerably more than 1,5OO,O0O bushels are raised annually. The peanut, which bears enormously in our light soils, is increasing in the general favor on account of it's many uses. The nut, as an article of food has a protein value higher than that that of the pecan and nearly five times as great as that of the chestnut or the cocoanut. It is also very rich in the carbohydrates.
 The oil expressed from it has a high value as dessert oil, while pea nut butter is steadily increasing in popular esteem. Peanut hay is great ly reIished by cattle. Well it may be, for it contains nearly as much protein as alfalfa, very little less than clover and over one-half more than timothy. Tn amount of the carbohydrates and fat it is only exceeded, and that not greatly, by timothy and clover. It is found a profitable crop.
 As an adjunct to swine breeding, the value of the peanut is well estab- lished. Even after the crop of nuts is gathered, a drove of hogs may be turned loose in a field of peanuts and they will find all that the farmer has overlooked and enough to thrive on. Hogs turned into field of ri- pened ungarnered peanuts will wax fat rapidly almost without care to their owner.-FIorida Times-Union.

TOPICS OF THE TOWN

The posters were up all over the city announcing the arrival of a well known production. Here and there in the most gorgeous co1oring and blazoning forth in 1ivid letters was the picture of a most beautiful woman. featured with the show. Beneath might be seen in the brilliant setting of the theatrical world the announce ment that she was the $20,0o0 beau ty, it being left to the imagination that such was the figure paid her weekly to retain her striking features and ability with the company.
 Early one Thursday morning a tir- ed looking woman of about 28 or 30 years of age. worn from travel and laboriously pumping a small but heavy black grip about the calves of her lower extremities made her way down Main street towards State care fully observing the variouss land marks and locating her direction. When she got to the corner drug store she pushed the heavy door open with visible effort and walking up to the perfumery counter asked for pound of make-np'' cream.
 Hello. Jessiel'' said stranger, waiting for hiss change. What brings you in town ?''
 I'm with the --- show she re- piled. we play here tonight, but Gee! I wish was through with this game though am billed as the 'beauty
 Indeed you are not looking as well as when saw you in New York last season."

Look at my hair, have to wear four times it's natural growth in switches, my face is scanned with wrinkles from this constant travelling, have lost 20 pounds drilling through the song numbers and worst of all those sym metrica1 tights have pulled down my natural form to a bean pole. In ad- ditfon to that my sick mother has ta- ken every bit of my salary and if 1t were not for my stage wardrobe the police would arrest me before I got to the station. We'll, so long, have got to make my wardrobe call in five minutes. z
 And as she went out the side door her companion turned to the clerk and with a sad voice said: "PaI, you see what it is to be a $2O,0O0 beauty Nothing to it.''

Rebel Leader Says Enslishman Tried
III to Take His Life.
Chihuahua, Mexico.-General Villas
story of the killingsof William s. Ben
ton, told to reporters here, differs but
little from the official statement given
out at Juarez.
The Juarez statement declared that
when Benton reached for his hip peck.
ct Villa knocked him. down with a
blow of the fist. Villa said that when
Benton made this move he poked his
own pistol into Benton's stomach and
then turned him over to the guards.
Villa insisted that Benton came to
take his life, and referred to Benton's
mission concerning the welfare Of his
ranch as a pretext to gain admittance.
According to Villa, Benton, after the
verdict Of the courtmart1al, confessed
his guilt and declined to,ask for mer-
cy. He merely requested that his prop
erty be turned over to his widow.
Villa contradicted his official report
to the American consul at Juarez that
Gustav Bauch, a German-American,
accused Of being a spy, had been
brought to Chihuahua. ~
