The housewarming of the handsome
Elks home took place on Monday night
and was one of the most largely at
tended affairs ever pulled off in this
city, despite the severe storm of the
morning. That the affair was success
as a revenue producer may be inferred
from the fact that the proceeds am
ounted to over $500, which will leave a
nice sum to assist in paying for the new
furniture.
That the people of this section have
reached the conclusion that it pays to
raise blooded stock and are doing their
own investigating as TO the best breed
for a dairy herd, was evidenced on
Tuesday, when John Wheelock received
one of the finest young bulls ever seen
in these parts. The animal was select
ed by C. f. Kitchen on his recent trip
east, and is an S-months-old pedigreed
Guernsey. The Enterprise reporter did
not learn the exact purchase price of
the young male, but it was not very far
from that of his mother who not long
since was sold for $1,000.

GERMAN
Shipping at Antwerp Increases
and Promises to Exceed the
British Trade.


LONDON, June 2O-sir Cecil
Hertslet, British consul general at
Antwerp, reports:
German shipping at Antwerp has
increased, and is continuing to in
crease more rapidly than British
shipping, AT the present rate of
progress, only three or four years
need elapse before German shipping
exceeds British at Antwerp, and it
will do so unless active measures
are adopted to retain and increase
the trade Of British vessels visiting
the port,
In 1913 British shipping actually
declined by forty-two vessels and &C.,
l207 tons, while during the same
period German shipping Increased
seventy-eight vessels and 1000
tons.
This state of affairs" says Sir
Cecil, us undoubtedly serious,
though it is true that British vessels
do more actual trade |. g. carry moro
cargo and bring more wealth to the
port than German VESSELS"
OF course British shipping is still
greatly in excess of that Of Germany.
The total shipping of Antwerp last
year amounted to 1855 vessels with
volume Of IA, 146,819 tons, OF which
1852" vessels of 6.173231 tons were
British, while the Germans accounted
for 1,705 vessels of 4.510,52 tons.
One Of the causes of the decline Of
British shipping was the transfer OF
some Of the Red Star liners from the
British to the Belgian flag.
