Back from Pacific Coast

'I have just returned from the Pacific coast, where I had an opportunity of viewing the Panama-Pacific exposition D said Horace c. Annesley yesterday. q was in San Francisco sometime but took a weeks vacation and spent every available moment in the exposition grounds. I think that it was much greater show than either the St. Louis or the Chicago not see half of it in the eight days which devoted to sightseeing. l see by the papers that the exposition even under the handicap of the war in Europe cleared over sl,O00OoO. Had it not been for the war and the consequent depres- sion believe that the amount would have been 10 times as much
 "One of the most interesting exhibits at the show was a building where coffee was traced from Q wee plant into the cup at the breakfast table. The exhibit came from Brazil, and was one of the most interesting on the grounds. In or der to make it more realistic they had real Brazilian planters and their peons along to give the demonstration.
 Huge fortunes are being made on the coffee plantations of Brazil and it doesn't t take so long to get started. as the trees begin to bear after four years. Coffee, you know, has three skins. When 1t is picked from the trees it looks just like q hisr red cherry The second skin is a. little tougher, while the third is only a skin. They have the most improved machinery for removing this hull, but hu- man labor is still generally used in the drying out of the beans."

The Southern Commercial Congress

ing the session of the Southern Conner cial congress, and heard several of the addresses and papers by prominent men," said E F. Dabney of New York.
 "An the discussions were interesting and timely, and members of the congress told me that this years convention was the best ever held. One of the addresses | that impressed me especially was that of Edward McHurley vice chairman of the | federal trade commission This commits sion, created by the Sixty-third Congress of the United States, Is well justifying 1 it's existence. It has commended itself most warmly to the business world and largely through the sane and friendly attitude of Chairman Davies, Vice Chair
 man Hurley and others on the board to- ward all legitimate business-big business
 and little business.
 Tn his Charleston address MT. McEur- | ley said among other good things I am I not unfamiliar with the south and with what this splendid militant body has 1 been doing. As you know. one of my
 colleagues on the federal trade commits
 sion is that distinguished Georgian, Hon. 1 William J. Harris. An official of broad | and patriotic vision, earnestly laboring l for the benefit of the entire nation, we
 have found his intimate Knowledge of
 the south and its indYtrial and eco nomic problems of great value to us,
 and we have come to rely on his judg- 1 ment and his suggestions in these mat l ters. Moreover, he has imparted to us his enthusiasm and his splendid vision
 for the new and mightier south.
 "'To make that vision, which you all 4 share. a reality is. I take it, the mission
 and purpose of the Southern Commercial congress You have started from the bottom, realizing the foundation fact that
 only in organization can the results you desire be achieved. We are talking much
 these days of mobilizing American re-
 sources to meet the enlarged demands upon this nation. It is fitting term,
 this word 'mobilizing.' It means, as the dictionary tells us, to make or get ready
 for active service; in other words, it means organizing diverse units of strength and bringing them together in a single body to achieve a common purpose through combined effort.
 "You have not been boasting about your efforts, but you have been endeavor- ing to do the thing itself, moblizing the resources of the southern states--not only the agricultural, but the financial, the commercial and the industrial resources as well.
 This association, as it's record of ac- tivities shows in this connection, is vii tally interested in business efficiency You are interested in the conditions that make business prosperous and you are interested in the relations of government to business. Government and business
 are and should be mutually helpful
