country so far, and which have con-
tributed to the record export trade
balance this year, came mostly from
the commissary department of the
allied armies. Wheat. -four meat,
horses, as we'll as harness, blankets,
sheeting, auto trucks, shoes, uni
forms, cloth, hospital supplies, I'M
derwear, socks, etc, have gone
abroad in enormous quantities.
Some interesting details are pub
lished in elaboration upon the recent
authoritative report by the American
Wooden mills that their product is
sold several months ahead, the pres
ent WOODEN business is excelling any
ever experienced by the company"
and fOrecasting "the best wooden
business in the country's history"
American Wooden has just closed
the sale of 100000 yards of cloth to
the Belgian government, and was the
lowest bidder for 100000 yards of
uniform cloth for the United States
government. the two orders making
total sales of 100000 yards of army
cloth within four weeks.
This by no means measures the
extent of the war order business. as
inquiries from foreign governments
for blankets and cloth continue on a
large scale, and orders for over o.
100000 yards are pending at the
moment and inquiries for nearly as
much more are shortly expected.
1t will be news to many that the
American Wooden company has been
selling goods in South America freely
and intends to develop this field so
far as possible. Moreover, owing to
the fact that virtually all of the
Canadian mills are working on gov
eminent orders, it has also been do
ing a good business in that country.
American Wooden is getting this
business, despite the fact that the
United States markets are the high
est in the world and that the allies
are canvassing the entire globe be-
fore coming to this side OF the water.

WHITES REPLACE JAPS.
Labor Commissioner Olson Obtains
Agreement From Cannerymen.

In conferences with the canneries
and white labor leaders at Anacortes,
Blaine and other points near Belling-
ham, where race rioting occurred re-
Gently, due to the employment of
Japanese workmen in the canneries,
State Labor Commissioner Edward
w. Olson worked out a plan which
will be successful in preventing
future disorders.
"The canneries have agreed" said
Mr.. Olson, Ito employ only white
labor in the future, and to let the
state labor department aid them in
getting white labor during rush
times, when the run of fish is big and
sufficient white labor is not available
locally. Canneries claimed that one
of the reasons why they put on Jap
labor was because white men could
not be obtained.
"Canneries also want to be assured
that when a crew of men is engaged
at a certain wage to work during
rush periods these men will not walk
out or strike for higher wages, re-
sulting in great spoilage of fish. I
am to return to Anacortes to carry
the conferences further and expect
that the entire matter can be adjust
ed satisfactorily"

would force mlitarism upon the
world, also is eloquent evidence that
the president has not been carried
away by the national defense agita-
ton.
1t has never been the policy of
this country to maintain in time of
peace large military establishment
or stores of arms and ammunition
sufficient to repel invasion by a well
equipped and powerful enemy" said
Secretary Lansing in his note to Aus
tria. 1T has desired to remain at
peace with all nations and to avoid
any appearance of menacing such
peace by the threat of its armies and
navies. A nation whose principle and
policy it is to rely on international
obligations and international justice
to preserve it's political and terrific
rial integrity might become the prey
of an aggressive nation whose policy
and practice it is to increase it's mill
tary strength in times of peace with
the design of conquest, unless the
nation attacked can, after war had
been declared, go into the markets
of the world and purchase a means to
defend itself against it's aggressor.
And later on the note says that the
prevention of this trade in war time
would result in every nation becom-
ing an armed camp, ready to resist
aggression and tempted to employ
force in asserting it's rights rather
than appeal to reason and justice for
the settlement of international dis
putes. The government
of the United States is convinced that
the adoption of the theory would
force militarism on the world and
work against that universal peace
which is the desire and purpose OF all
nations which eXalt justice and
in their relations with
one another"

NORTHERN PACIFIC WANTS
MATERIAL FOR EXHIBITS
Asks Farmers CO-OperatiOn in Ad.
vertising the North
west.
(FrOm the Northern Pacific News
Bureau.)

The Northwest is going to have one
of the largest crops in its history this
year and the quality of the crop in all
lines appears to be first class.
1t is therefore an exceptionally
good time in which to make known
to the country, and to the world, what
splendid crops we can raise in this
corner of Gods fOotstOol, both as to
quantity and quality.
The Northern Pacific railway is in
constant need of samples of grains,
vegetables, fruits, grasses, etc., for
exhibition purposes, to illustrate to
others the crop superiority of the va
rious sections along it's line. The
Northern Pacific railway shows ma
terial of all kinds in 80 or more per-
manent exhibits in the East, Middle
West and Southwest, besides at land
shows, fairs and expositions of va
rious sorts in many parts of the coun-
try. We need the help of all public
spirited citizens, commercial clubs,
fair associations, land companies,
etc., in securing high class material
in order that each section may be
properly represented.
During the harvest of 1915 the
Northern Pacific desires the farmers
along it's line to make up good sized,
attractive bundles of the various
grains and grasses, also samples of
seeds, vegetables, fruits and any 9TH
err products which can conveniently be
handled, and ship to Northern Pa
cific Railway, care L. J. Bricker, gen.
eral immigration agent, st. Paul.
Mimi" The Northern Pacific agent
will promptly forward the material
by express, without charge, and wire
Mr.. Bicker train and date when
shipped in order that it may be
promptly secured on arrival in st.
Paul, to prevent damage from rats,
mice or otherwise.
Each individual bundle of grain,
ETC., should bear tag showing va
riety, name and address OF grower,
and any other information of interest,
such as yield per acre, etc., as In all
of our exhibits we want to give full
credit to the grower and the district
from which the exhibit comes.
II this cooperation can be secured.
the railway company will be placed
in position to accomplish results OF
lasting value to the farmers and
towns in the Northern Pacific terri
tory and effectively advertise the
agricultural and other resources OF
the country.

WAR ORDERS BOOM
WILL CONE IN FALL
FULL EFFECT OF HUGE FOREIGN
PURCHASES WILL NOT BE
FELT TILL AUTUMN.

Good times as a result of the enor-
nous war orders being filled will not
be felt in full in the United States
until autumn, as the export of the
munitions from this country to Er-
rope will not reach full volume for
several months. Contrary to general
belief, shipments on the hundreds of
millions of dollars worth of cannon.
shells, shrapnel, cartridges and mis-
cellaneous explosives, an authority
says, will not be in full swing until
the months of October, November
and December of this year, when full
payments are due.
Hundreds of thousands of dollars,
and doubtless more, it is pointed out,
are being expended at the present
time in the construction of new and
additional plants for the manufac-
ture of munitions. The work is
being pressed at such pace that
several of the larger companies, for
instance the Baldwin Locomotive
Works. which never have turned out
a gun, shell or cartridge in their past
experience, expect to produce many
thousands Of dollars worth of them
every day by the middle Of autumn.
Proving grounds are being laid out,
and buildings with secret tire-proof
compartments for the preservation of
the foreign army specifications are IN
the course of erection.

DISCUSSES MERIT RATING
PLAN OF STATE INSURANCE
Would Greatly Reduce Number OF
Accidents, Says Labor
Bureau.

The bureau of labor, in its first
issue of what is to be quarterly pub
LEGATION called 1.-THE Workman's Safe
ty Guide" edited by Labor Commits
sioner Edward w. Olson, discusses
the merit plan of rating for state in
dustrial insurance.
1.-THE merit rating system" says the
article, "is based entirely upon the
accident hazard in the plants insured,
as the fire insurance rates are based
on the fire hazard. The plants In
given industry are divided into four
classes, the first covering those In
which every effort is exerted to pre-
vent accidents and which therefore
pay the lowest rates; the second class
pays little higher rate and SO on till
the fourth pays the highest OF all. A
plant may be advanced from one class
to another according to the improve
ments it makes toward reducing its
accident hazard.
''The adoption of the merit rating
system would give wonderful I'M
petus to the safety movement in this
state, an impetus that would be re-
warded, not merely in financial way
by the reduction of insurance pre-
miums, but chiefly-and certainly far
more important to workmen and So
ciety-in a wonderful reduction in
the number of accidents"

The following from state depart.
ment, Washington, to one Of the Mis-
sion boards is interesting:
"a strict censorship has been es-
tablished over all. mail in Syria. This
has been officially established by re-
ports reaching the state department
from American consular officers. The
state department issued this an.
nouncement on the subject: Letters
sent to private individuals are open
ed, and the presence in such letters
of expressions of opinion displeasing
to the Turkish government is consid-
cred sufficient ground for the impris-
onment of the persons to whom the
letters are sent. The consular Of
ficer advises that all persons writing
to friends in Syria should remember
this and thus avoid possible serious
consequences to the persons receiv-
ing their letters"

The approach of spring has giver
the pupils of Pennington an impetus
in the gardening campaign that prom.
ises to accomplish much before the
season is over. A common topic of
conversation among the pupils is
their gardens and the progress they
have already made in planting early
crops Encouragement given by pa
rents in this matter of home garden
ing will greatly repay everyone CON
cerned. Some vexing problems of the
vacation control of children will be
wisely solved if they can be interest
ed in the cultivation of a garden that
will keep them busy and give them
visible returns,
1t may be observed by those pass
ing the North Ward school that the
pupils, under the supervision of the
teachers are undertaking some need
ed work for the Improvement of the
school grounds. The low places in
the front and along the terrace are
being filled up and sodded with grass.
Children love to work as well as to
play when they feel like they are en-
gagged in something worth while.
This instinct, if instinct it be, is wor-
thy of careful cultivation and any
school activity that encourages it is
highly educational.
