lation is foreign, the most being Ger man. In Puerto Alegre the chief stores are German and it is the same in others of the large towns of the south. In some localities the colored servants are obliged to learn German. and certain towns have German officials, the mayor, the coun- sellors, the police and national guards being of Teutonic origin. These Ger mans are good Brazilians, although many of them have left to go to the aid of the fatherland. If Germany should sue ceed in the great war, it is expected that the number of that nationality in Bra gil will largely increase, and that south ern Brazil will be more German than ever
 Here in Sac Paulo the bulk of the im- migration is Italian, although there are also many Spaniards, Swiss and immi- grants from southern Europe At one time Chinese were imported with the idea of attempting the culture of tea, but the movement failed. There are now schemes to bring in Japanese. Several large inn portations have already been made, the Japanese immigrants being used for the rice and sugar plantations. A number of the Japanese came In 1908, not a few of them being ex-soldiers who had taken part in the great war with Russia. Some wore medals commemorating their brav- cry and most of them carried small flags cn which the Japanese and Brazilian col ors were blended. Since then others have arrived. and there are some thousands of them in Sac Paulo. The Japanese in- migrants are noted for their cleanliness nearly every one of them coming equipped with toilet articles, tooth paste and tooth brushes. They are in striking contrast to the Italians and the people from south eastern Europe.
 The Italian emigration to Brazil has been going on for years. In 1891 a total of 1S2,0OO Italians came in, and this im- migration continues today, although not in such numbers. Many of the Italians go back and forth from season to sea- son, coming here every year to help har- vest the coffee crop. Others have settled in the colonies and others have perma- nent houses upon the plantations. It is the same with the Spaniards, Portuguese and Swiss.
 At present the bulk of the foreigners in Brazil are Italians. Up until 1907 the total immigration from Europe was a little more than 2500.000. Of these almost half, or more than 100000. were Italians, more than 6O0.000 were Portuguese and 2SS 900 were Spaniards. There were a large number of Russians, Germans Aus trians and Turks, and also Poles Swedes and Swiss. The Germans and Poles are said to make the best farmers.

 Professor Rudolf Kjellen is said to have written half of the activist Bible. He has now come into the open. He pro- claims under his own signature for ac- tivsm. Kjellen is a clever writer and speaker; a sound authority on interna- tional law. and a fierce Russophobe. He invented the word "activism.' kjellen says that the victory of Germany, Aus tria and Turkey is assured. Sweden, therefore, takes no risks if she declares war If she does not declare war, she risks being eaten up by the victors, by the vanquished, or by both. She must help Germany to realize Kafzer W1l- helms supposed plan of cutting up all west Russia into independent, or semi fndependent states. Germany, says Kjel- len, will make an independent Poland. an independent Kkraine. and independent Lithuania. There remains only Finland Finland is a vital question for Sweden. If Russia persists in Russifying Finland and building strategical railways, Swe- den's independence perishes. Germany, if left to fight alone, will not amputate Finland.

It will never come again. Only by taking ad- vantage of present circumstances, can Sweden check Russia's design to seize a Norwegian port and to crush forever Swe- dens bulwark, Finland. Once the war is over, it will be too late. If Sweden does not participate the war, however it ends, will bring disaster to Sweden. If Ger many wins Germany will let Russia seize, as compensation.

Swe- den would grasp the Aland Islands, whose proximity to Stockholm is a thorn in her side. It would all be easy. So say the activists; and thousands of Swedes who never dreamed of any policy but neu- trality listen to their reasoning and begin to think they are right
 Interparty Row Precipitated
 First consequence of "The Activist Bi- ble''-so ex-Premier StaaR calls it-is an interparty row. Swedens socialists are officially neutralists; and they have most ly strong leanings toward the entente. The socialist press proclaimed that Pro- lessor Steffen and three other forward socialists were among the secret con- coctors of the activist Bible. Steffen did not deny. Stockholm's socialist commit tee has sent Steffen an ultimatum threat ening him with expulsion unless he con- fesses whether he coilobarted in the Bible. Steffen will not say yes or no: the Ques- ton, he says. is an infringement on his liberty. But I entirely sympathize with the opinions in the book Stockholm s socialist committee has unanimously ex-

Everybody wants to see better coun-
try roads around here, and those who
live off Of the community should do
their share towards it's upkeep, either
through local taxation or by voluntary
contribution.
Our local business men have dug
down into their pockets every year
for taxes, and then they have dug
down again and again for all sorts of
laudable objects in the way of con-
tributions to this, that and whatnot,
and they will probably continue to dig
as long as they remain in business.
Like the goold old Jersey COW, they
have been "milked" so long and SO
often and for such varied purposes,
that digging" has become almost Sec
ond nature to them.
But there is one man who is Roll
ing in Wealth that has been gathered
in from the rural districts, and that
man has yet to make his first dig.
At any rate. no one appears to have
ever heard of him contributing a sin
gle penny for the alienation of local
conditions.
He is the Mail Order Man, and it
is high time for him to dig.
Many of you have been sending
him your money for these many years,

Wheat Exports Slump.

A slump in American exports Of
wheat and flour is shown by July for
eign statistics made public by the de-
partment Of commerce. Wheat ex-
ports were 7,s19,6O0, less by 1s,OOO,-
900 bushels than the total for July
year ago, while flour shipments ag-
gregated s30,143 barrels, compared
with S33,O54.
Officials of the bureau of commerce
say that the wheat slump was caused
by the rush of exports during the
spring and early summer to clear the
way for the coming bumper grain
crops, which the department of agri-
culture has predicted to be the largest
ever produced. They think the de-
crease in flour exports resulted from
high prices. Although the quantity
shipped this year was smaller, it was
worth more than 81 900, 900 more than
last July's total.
Exports of foodstuffs, cotton and
mineral oils showed q gain of nearly
$10,O00,00O over July, 1914, but a de-
crease of $16,4oO,OOO compared with
June this year.
