TRADE FAvORS U. S.
so SAYS JAMES FARRELL, PREsi-
DENT OF GREAT STEEL COR
PORATION IN SPEECH.
FARM VALUES GREATEST 1915
Talk rosperity-Result. Business
Better, More People Employed
Big Business for Cooperation.

Pittsburg, Pa.-Courage and cooper
alton in business and confidence in a
restoration of prosperity was recon-
mended by James Farrell, president of
before the Engineers society of west
ern Pennsylvania Monday night.
Among reasons for encouragement
Mr.. Farrell quoted eminent European
and American authorities" as calculat
ing that the United States excess of
exports in 1915 may easily reach ST.
900, 900 900, and he declared that the
balance of trade in favor of the Uni
ted States for the opening month of
the year is at the rate of $1,500,000 600
year.
Farm Values May Make Record.
"The years of greatest prosperity in
the United States have been when the
balances were largely in our favor"
asserted Mr. Farrell 1T is not inn
prudent to predict that our total farm
values for the current year, for the
first time in the annals of this or any
other country, will pass the 100000
600 mark
81 feel safe in saying that if you
will strain a point just now and trade
little more with each other and talk
encouragingly as to conditions, rather
than pessimistically, the business OF
the country will take on momentum
which will carry us into better times
and. what is more important, create
more employment for labor Our best
efforts should be put forth to stimu
late activity in business and do every
thing practicable to increase the mum
Der of working people, not only in the
industries in this country, but through
out the whole country.
Prosperity Elements at Hand.
"The elements of prosperity are a
hand the developments from day t.
day are favorable. The steel trade has
been called the barometer of business
there is marked increase in orders
and in operations; more men are oh
tanning employment and the trade
movement is progressing and encouI
aging, and we should do everything
practicable to sustain and advance it.
Mr.. Farrell said that up to within
few weeks lit seemed as if the pros
poets of material Improvement il
business were doubtful, but appai
emily the tide has turned and eacl
day records a marked Improvement il
: the general situation.
1T seems to me" he continued, tina
/. the time has come when cooperation
[ should manifest itself among bus
ness men, to bring about conditio
2 which will result in a larger employ
: ment of labor"

What CAUSES COLDS?

This question and How to Prevent
Colds" is asked thousand times
every day. A cold is really fever,
not always caused by the weather but
due to a disordered condition of the
blood or lack of important food
elements. In changing seasons fat
foods are essential because they dis
tribute heat by enriching the blood
and so render the body better able
to Withstand the varying elements.
This is the underlying reason why
the medicinal fats in SCOTS Emulsion
quickly overcome colds and build
strength to prevent more serious sick
ness. 1t contains natures medicinal
fats, so skillfully prepared that the
blood profits from every drop, and it Is
free from harmful drugs or alcohol.

Reformers Again Defeated.
New York Times.l

Up in Vermont there is going on
curious battle between educational eX
perts in and from out of the state on
the one side and politicians and news
papers protesting on the other that
fervent regard for economy which is
almost always so pleasing to a popula.
ton largely agricultural.
A recent survey of the Vermont
schools by the Carnegie Foundation
made at its own expense, by the way
revealed grave inadequacies and inef
ficiencies in the teaching system and
facilities, and accompanying these dis
closures were suggestions for the rem
edying of the evils and weaknesses
found The carrying out of the plans
proposed was warmly a lvocated by the
state superintendent of education, Ma
son S. Stone, man of recognized au-
thority in this field, and by a special
commission that was appointed to pass
upon his proposals. They involved,
however, not only a Capitalization in
educational matters of powers now
scattered, but also the abolition of GER
tain small schools, tie existence of
which, like that of some of our navy
yards and army posts, is locally ad-
| vantageous.
Strong antagonlsm to the changes at
once developed or was aroused, bitter
| cries about their cost were raised, and
it now seems likely that things educa
tional in Vermont will for the present
and for some time to come remain il
| the condition described in the Car
negie report-a condition about as ba6
and archaic as it could be. Incl
dentally. Superintendent Stone, to the
great joy Of his opponents, has beer
moved to resign, apparently because
hopeless of accomplishing anything
worth while in the circumstances.
The Vermont papers are amusingly
resentful of outside comment on thes'
happenings and answer it with eulo
gies of the Green Mountain farmer anC
his ability to attend to his own af
fairs without assistance. So 10 thu

Most Americans have predicted that
the allies would eventually win the Eu-
ropean war, but there have been some
dissenters among those who have been
close to the theater of operations in
continental Europe. Irwin Cobb, one
of the most interesting writer's among
the war correspondents, on returning
to this country, said frankly that he
did not know who would win Rear
Admiral Bowles, who resigned from the
United States navy to become presi-

Germany firm in his conviction that
the Germans would be victorious. He
is quoted as saying in Boston: 1.-THE
probable situation is that all the al
lies are now ready to quit, and that
means not only France and Russia,
but England; that Germany is ready
to make peace with Russia and France.
but never with England. The possible
consequences of such a situation are

serious consideration by the people of

the United States. The chance of n
successful invasion of England cannot
be lightly dismissed. " 1t should be re-
membered, however, that Englan /.
France and Russia are bound by agree
ment never to make peace except upon
terms unanimously satisfactory to the
three great nations. England and France
have been training immense new ar
mics that will be ready for the field in
a few weeks. 1t will be well to re-
member the sinister comment of Lord
Kitchener to the effect that he did
not know when the war would end,
but that it would begin next May.

That women S votes would upset all
traditions of politics and turn cleo
ton results topsy turvy is refuted by
the full reports from the Chicago
city primaries, in which for the first
time the women participated on even
terms. The women polled II per cent
of their registration, the men only 70
per cent. Col. Sweitzer, who won the
Democratic nomination over Mayor
Harrison, received slightly larger pro-
portion of the votes of women in spite
of the campaign argument that he
favored an "Open town. Thompson,
the successful Republican candidate,
made his campaign in part ON certain
issues concerning the first children s
playground and parks; but his oppon-
ent, Judge Olson, received 1000 more
women's votes than he did. Evidently
the women can discriminate between
various kinds of campaign arguments.
