And names you Friend-Dear Friend

Where mind and spirit blend;
And from the strength that molds your fac
Comes power to be your friend
While tenderness of giving

My heart for you with love could glow
You call me Friend-Dear Friend.

complaining The war made things
worse, and thousands Of men are now
unemployed.
There are 10000 out of work in this
city alone, and similar conditions OBJ
tain in Rosario and in other places.
The government is doing what it can
to give the unemployed work on the
streets and roads, and subscriptions are
being made to an employment fund to
help the poor At the same time food
prices are rising and meat has increased
90 percent.
Not n Cheap Mans Country.
This is not a cheap mans country,
and no one with only a few hundred
dollars should come here expecting to
reaD many thousands In fact, ones
expense account is higher in Argentine
than in the United States. and the bet
ter class hotels are exceedingly costly.
At the Plaza. which is one of the chief
hotels of Buenos Aires, the lowest
charge for a room without bath is 50
per day, and the lowest price for meals
is S. extra. If you want as luxurious
quarters as the same sum would bring
in New York, you will have to pay far
more, and the extras are enormous.
There are, however, d number of good
hotels where the charges are lower.
All sorts of wines and liquors are
high. and my mineral orders cost al
most as much as the average wine
charges of Berlin or Paris.

demand for these is on the increase.
There is a good taxicab service here,
but the taxis are largely French made
They seem TO do a good business and

for so cents each. Argentina is improv-
ing its roads, and BuenOs Aires has
plans for new streets that will require
5000, 600. 900 before they are carried out
This will include an immense amount
of paving materials and especially wood
paving blocks. Many of the best streets
are of such blocks laid in cement
Argentina is a rich field for planting
American dollars. The British, Ger

have long known this and they have
their money invested here at the CAPT

I and drugs. In 1912 she furnished 5000
bathtubs, 1000 pianos and $1,000 leather
pOcketbooks.
During the same year France sent
goods to the amount Of S36,OOO,O00, in
GLIDING 1900 automobiles, $4,000 dozen
ladies' hats, and more than 200 0O0
pounds of buttons. The Argentine i'm
ports from Belgium were made up Of
iron and steel, glass and cement, and
of textiles and miscellaneous articles
Trade with the L. 5.
And now let us look at the sales made
by the United States. In the year that
the above imports came from Europe
we sent out South American goods to
the amount of $132,000,000, and of that
about half went to Argentina. This
country was our best South American
customer 1t took twice as much Of
our goods as Chile. and more than
Brazil Colombia, Peru and Venezuels
combined.
It bought about 100000 worth Of
agricultural implements, more than
100000 worth Of railway cars,
$4,000. 900 worth of oil, and more than
S3S, 5000 worth of our iron and steel
Its purchases Of leather manufac-
lures, including shoes, brought US in
about S5.00O,000. and in addition we sold
it something like S15.OO0,0 600 worth Of
wood. Much of this was lumber. and
that, Notwithstanding there are forests
of soft wood in the ChacO. north of Tu-
so high. however, that the native lum-
Der brought to Buenos Aires sells for
80 cents a foot, and it is cheaper to buy
North American pine.
Buys Much American Machinery.
In addition to these purchases, the
Argentine took many other American
goods. I see our machinery and ma
chine tools in all the big cities. As

Chicago Windmills are scattered over
the desert. The Argentine bought
$4,000 barrels of apples of US last year,
and it is adding to its purchases of
cement and cash registers, as well as
wagons and carts and automobiles. The
people are friendly 10 us. They have
recently erected a statue of George
Washington in the principal park of
the capital. They like our manufac-
lures, and there is no reason why we
should not compete with other nations
| in almost any branch of foreign trade.
Great Opening FOR Coal.
One of the great openings OF the
! present is for coal Since the fighting
in Europe began, the prices of fuel here
have been as high as $14 a ton, and
there has been such a coal scarcity that
some OF the factories and mills have
stopped running and the railroads have
! reduced their passenger service. In

other kinds of United States coal Soft

Rio de JaneirO 1t could be brought
from Newport News so as to be sold for
much less, and now is the time to make

Good Demand for Motor Cars.

cars and all sorts Of vehicles. SO far

in mind that he viii have TO nave a
license for selling and also that there
is a tariff to be considered as to all
impOrtations.
a different license is charged for
each province and here in Buenos Aires
the annual fee for selling goods is 5000
in gold. In the province of Entire Rios
a similar license costs $500 and in some
Of the other provinces they range from
$50 to 500
There are also laws requiring that all
contracts be written on stamped pa
per- the value of the stamps being
regulated by the amount of the con-
tracts. ranging from cents to $50.
All bills of exchange and prOmissOry
notes have to have stamps and in ad-

have referred to the 100000 acres
Of land in cultivation. The implements
for planting and harvesting them all
come from foreign countries. In 1919
Argentina bought 10000 plOws Is, 600
drills and more than 1000 thrshing ma
chimes. IT bought $50 mowers, 100
harrOws and 10000 reapers and binders
Among the smaller items were 1900
rakes. 500 tons Of pitchforks and 1000
tons Of spades and shOvels, picks and
hoes.
Not n Manufacturing Country.
The Argentine Republic is not a man
orally fiat and the streams are slug
gish. Hence there is but little water
power. The most of the coal comes
from England, which is 5000 or 5000
miles away, or from Australia, which
is farther. Hence, most manufactured
articles are imported.
In 1913 the country spent tens Of mill
lions for manufactures Of steel 1t
bought 1900 bathtubs, 1000 pounds
Of sewing machine needles, more than
100000 pocketkniyes and $4,000 iron

more than 5000 windmills, 81 tons of
sheep shears and 10 tons of saws.
People Are Musical.
The Argentinos are a musical people
and they are fond of amusements. They
buy about $4,000 monographs and
graphophones every year, 1900 pairs
Of rrnn
thousand dollars worth of guitar and
banjo strings. In 1913 they brought in
over 100000 ordinary watches and
2l.OOO timepieces of gold. During the
same year they purchased about 1000
600 fans, 5000 600 mirrors, 500 wagon
loads Of buttons, 100000 eyeglasses and
$4,000 dozen watch crystals. They
bought 107 tons of combs, I 2, 900 pounds
of hat feathers, and toys to the amount
Of almost S1.OeO,OOO.
Good Customer OF Europe.
The countries now at war have fur
nished the greatest proportion Of the
goods sent from Europe, and they have
also been taking the most of the Az
gentine exports Great Britain con-
Sumes every year something like $780,
100000 worth of Argentine products
Germany about $4,000 600 worth, and
Belgium $35, 000. 600 worth or more As
to the goods now coming into the coun-
try, those from Great Britain are OF
their usual volume, but those of France
and Belgium have greatly decreased
and the imports from Germany have
practically stopped.
In order to show the openings which
come from the Germans. ] give you
some Of the articles that Germany sent
here in the year 1912. They include
1900 typewriters 1000 bicycles and
$4,000 sewing machines. They embrace
manufactures Of iron and steel, from
bars, sheets and rails to cutlery, needles
and nails. Among them were 1900
dozen penknives, $4,000 pairs OF scis-
sors and 500 automobiles. Germany
has been sending all sorts of textiles
and she has sold most Of the chemicals

~ UENOS AIRES. Argentine Repub-
k lie, Feb. 6.-I want to wake up the
- capitalists. manufacturers and
business men Of the United States &c
the enormous opportunities Of the Ar
gentine market. The war IN Europe
has thrown it wide open, and has Of
fered us advantages that may not come
again in a century.
Until now the big things Of this part
Of the world have all gone to Europe
This is so rot only as to the selling OF
merchandise. but also as to financial
Investments and good government con-
tracts, 80 percent of the public and pri-
waite loans having been placed there.
Great Britain alone has more than
81 900, O0O 900 in good dividend paying
Argentine railways, and Germany
France and italy have large interests
in banks and Industries Of one kind or
other.
Foreign Trade Enormous.
The foreign trade of Argentina now
amounts to almost $LOOO,OOO.O0O per an
num- and she ranks second on our hemi-
sphere as to the best market for for
eign goods. Her purchases abroad far
surpass those of any other South Amer
lean country and her people are among
the best spenders Of the whole world
Few have any idea of the extent, the
resources and possibilities Of the Ar
Eentine Republic. This is not a baby
country of the backwOOds, and it does
not do business in the small
The land is One-third as large as the
United States proper, and acre for acre
it has far more cultivable territory
1t has now about $4,000, 600 acres under
crops. and il could give its every fam
lily 200 acres Of grain land and have
some to spare. It is one Of the best
grazing countries on the face of the
globe.
Remarkable Livestock Increase.
In 1895 the live stock was valued at
$3.50. 600. 600. Thirteen years later it
was worth $3.50, 900. 600, and with the in
creased demand of the war i'm Europe
it is now worth close to one billion
dollars
But these figures give little idea OF
the wealth Of this great republic and
its possibilities in our foreign trade
The Argentine stands about tenth
among the countries Of the world in
the average possessions OF its inhabi-
tants. Family per family it has a pur-
chasing power far greater than that OF
Norway, Germany or France, and ten
times that Of Turkey or Japan. Its per
capita wealth is eighty times that OF
the Chinese
Is Great Mart for Trade.
The Argentine buys and sells more
goods than any country on this hemi-
sphere outside of the United States. Its
foreign commerce is ahead Of that OF
China or Japan, and eleventh among
all the countries of the world. 1t al
ready amounts to about a billion dol
lars per annum, and when good times
come again il viii increase by leaps
and bounds.
Buenos Aires is now the eighth port
OF the world in the amount Of its bust
ness. It stands ahead of Bremen, Cal
cutta, Bombay. Singapore and Sidney,
and is surpassed only by New York
London, Hamburg, Liverpool Antwerp,
Marseilles and Havre.

kept there until the duties are paid
During the recent hard times there
have been several hundred automobiles
kept in the warehouses because the
men who ordered them have not had
the money to pay the tariff upon them.
The tariffs vary according to the
character Of the goods and some other
things. All woven stuffs, ready made
underclOthiug, boots, shoes and hats
pay 80 cents ad valorem, and there is
a similar tariff on carriages. harness
and furniture The tariff on dressed
leather, blankets and unbleached lin
ems is 40 per cent. and that on wool
and wooden stuffs 80. In addition there
are specific articles that have special
taxes and there are reciprocal tariffs
gagged according to the amount OF
business done.
The man who comes here should
have money to spend and time to work
the trade properly, and he should be
well educated and polite and well
dressed There is no place in the
world where good manners mean more
and where they will pay quite so we'll.

no attention. no opportunity to marry.
Tt was actually greater blight upon a
girl to accuse her Of being strong mind
ed than for her to be the heroine OF a
scandal
And this is stnl true. Men, as a sex
don't want women to be clever; they
don't admire clever women. and they
won't have anything to do with a clever
woman If they can help it.
A hostess who has a girl visitor would
no more think of saying to the young
men that she invited to see the girl that

than she would say, You must come to
see Maude because she has cross eyes"
She would know that wild horses

logical topic instead of the latest mu-

Continues After Marriage.
This masculine prejudice against
brains in a woman's head extends even
into the marriage relationship, where.
heaven knows, there is need of real In
telligence If anywhere on earth Yet.
while q man respects his wife for being
able to keep up her end of the line and
administer her household affairs with
judgment there isn't a married woman
who is not perfectly aware that the
times when her husband really loves
her best are those i'm which she acts an
utter and complete goose
One of the most brilliant men know,
i'm speaking of a very brilliant woman,
said to me once
"She is the cIeverest woman 7 have
ever met. and one Of the biggest and
the noblest-but not for me. The kind
OF woman I like is the one who has got
about as much sense as canary bird
and who has never heard Of anything
that happened farther off than the next
block"
That is the general masculine ideal.
Here and there IS an exception OF
course; but the great majority Of men
are so welded to the feminine fool
theory that women find it eXpedient to
cultivate Stiffness instead of intelli-
gence, and to appear far more idiotic
than they are.
For the feminine motto is: We strive
to please"

4 GREAT deal of surprise is ex-
"A pressed at the foolish and frivol-

women. and the fact that so many of
them seem to possess the weak and

The question is often asked; why

The real and truly answer is, MAN.
Women act silly because that is the
way that men prefer them to act"
In reality there are few women as
great fools as they appear to be. In
proof of this. note that they have sized
up man and know that it is fine clothes,
and automobiles and theater tickets,
and soft living, to appear to have moth
