COM M ERClAl
PREPAREDN ESS

Much is being said on the above
subject, with reference to the end
of the war. Commercial Prepared
ness is to be the slogan of the Ma
tional Foreign Trade Association
meeting at New Orleans in January,
business men are admonished to look
alive. or they will lose trade as the
result of European pressure for bust
ness after the war.
Much of this talk, of course, Is
bringing Goals to Newcastle" Am
arican business men have always sat
M nights thinking how they could
attain better commercial prepared
ness. The agility with which they
chase the dollars is the marvel OF
the world They will have any
trade lying in sight that is not tied
down by conditions beyond their abil'
ity to meet
Some progress has been made since
the war began, in the effort TO cap
ture South American trade. some
business men think they can get IL
mereb' by sending out statesmen from
this country, who may or may not
be able to speak the language. It's
slower work than that.
To get that business, the chances
are that a good many of cur people
will have To take up their residence
In South America. To build up a
trade, they must know the ned ana
the people intimately, understand &c
onomic conditions and the customs OF
The people. For the first five years
representative would scarcely pay
for ais salt. Gradually commercial
ties would grow. and in the enc
there would be large chance toI
expansion,
II American business men have
fault as class, 1t is the desire FOL
quick returns. They are not oVei
cautious about new ventures. They
rarely say, "a bird in the hand II
worth two in the bush" But the!
do say, "a bird in the busa today II
worth two birds in the bush tomor
row." They hate to walt for re
suits, and prefer to build for toda!
rather than for next year. lnterna
tional currents of trade are not bull
up in that way.

Dear Editor:
I am very much pleased with the
remarks Of Mr.. Moses Muir but l
think Mr.. Muir Is a little uncharit-
able in wanting all of the city i'm
provements. They should be made
where they are the most needed.
Now, l propose that something
should be done on Fifth East street
UP to the cemetery. Ask anyone
what kind of a street that it.. Most
everybody will say that is the most
needed place in Logan City today
for repairs and that something
should be done right away for the
benefit Of everybody. Then there is
Seventh East street. Talk about a
gravel hollow, "come and see 1t for
yourselves Then from Sixtl tc
Seventh North streets where a mil
lion tons of good gravel can be got

done right away.

THE INCREASE OF THE
vAGRANT CLASS

Reports from police authorities,
railroad men. Jail officials, and 9TH
ers, indicate a decided increase in
the vagrant class, The industrial
depression set many wanderers on
the road. Courts and municipal au-
thorities relaxed their usual strict
ness, on account of the pathetic hard
luck stories. Now that business has
improved, many of these rovers have
firmly acquired the nabit of idleness'

All moral stamina seems to nave
faded out of these fellows. Ihey

Put they rarely survive more than
one or two pay days. With money
in their pockets, way should they
slave at a bench? Hence 1t is that
others of same class always find
vacancies after pay day, to held

Prison officials say 1t is surprising
how Jail life improves these charac

become mere machines. They get alb

going mad. One has no conscious

The two boys were standing by the

stopped or anyone could reach him the
lad had been Whirled around twice BY
the Wheel revolution. Then George
reached him and, grabbing his com

saved his life.
The boy was unconscious When res

serious injury was a deep cash in the

claimed a hero by the persons who
witnessed the rescue. He could not,
however. understand that he had done
anything remarkable, and insisted that
he merely grabbed his playmate and
