Pacific. coast exhibition will attract
this year. The effect of the Panama
canal upon the transcontinental roads
has not yet been very marked. 1t ha:
caused some loss of traffic, which
however, is expected to be regainec
in other ways, particularly by local
development of Pacific trade. Amer.
ican railroads are facing serious prob.
lens, not the least being the high
price for all new financing; this is a
result of the billions being borrowed
by European belligerents.
An idea of the effect of the war
upon the country's foreign trade is
illustrated by decreases of $215, ,0O0,-
900 in exports to Germany, $29, ,o00,-
900 to Belgium, 10000, 900 to Russia,
$11 100000 to Austria Hungary, and
S38, 100000 to Canada; while exports
to Great Britain increased $45,OO0,-
900, to Italy $4,000, 900 and to France
$33, 100000. At the moment export
demands for grain and cotton appear
to have reached their apex and are
temporarily at least on the wane. This
of course would tend to keep down the
big foreign credit balance, and encour-
age more normal conditions in foreign
exchange.
Orders have been placed in this
country for fully million tons of steel
products for export, which at fair
valuation would approximate about
$3O.OOO,OOO. Heavy shipments in war
materials are Forthcoming, and these
figures will have to enter the inter-
national trade account. Another i'm
portant item which will have to be
considered is the annual remittances
for tourists, usually estimated at
about $2OO,OOO,OOO. This sum will
not be sent abroad this year, but will
remain at home, much of it to be dis
tributed among American railroads,
hotels and summer resorts.-Record.

NEW LAW EFFECTS ESTRAYS

NEW Law EF EClS Els KA >

THE BUSINESS SITUATION

The latest Clews Bulletin says that
while general trade is quiet, now that
spring has come there is reason to
look for improvement; in fact, says
the bulletin, the latest reports show
that the turn in the current has al
ready begun. In this connection The
recent large dry goods failures reflect
conditions which belong to the past.
The belief in early peace, the improv-
ed financial situation, the recent buoy
ancy in the stock market, the more
reasonable attitude of legislation to-
wards business, all tend to inspire
confidence in the future. Many per-
sons have overlooked the fact that a
number of industries are reaping alb
normal profits from war contracts.
The farming classes are also very
prosperous. The steel trade future
is more promising.
Further evidences are coming to the
surface that American railroad affairs
have turned the corner for the better.
Quite number of instances prove
that earnings are making better re-
ports and net results are more prom
Using. This is true both as to some
OF the eastern properties and also as
to lines running through the south,
which were temporarily crippled by
the backward cotton movement. The
western roads have been materially
aided by agricultural prosperity, and

benefit by the large travel which the

TINE TO PAINT UP

AS I've often said before, you should
toddle to the store, if your standoff' s
not too faint, and invest in yellow
paint; then embellish house and barn,
till the neighbors say: "By darn
What a lovely, gorgeous hue! We
must get to painting too." That's the
way great movements start; some
wise gent with hero heart sets the
pace, and then. the guys follow where
his pathway lies. If with glad and
joyous whoop you should paint your
chicken coop, red or yellow, pink or
gray, you will see the neighbor jay
to the nearest drug store rush, there
to buy some paint, brush; and next
day you'll see him hump putting
green stripes on his pump, and he'll
give coat of blue to the fence and
clothesline, too. In the spring Dame
Nature tries to astonish human eyes,
spreading on the colors thick; every
thing is span and spick; fields of
green and skies of blue, everywhere
a pleasing hue. And her sunlight of
ten falls on our gray and dingy walls,
and it makes her sick and faint that
we don't indulge in paint. Buy a
gallon can right now! Paint the
sidewalk and the cow, paint the house
and paint the shed, paint things yell
low, paint them red Walt Mason.

Club Oldest One
In Iowa

Dear Juniors:
II The 1915 Christmas Stocking club
was organized last week with mem
bership of three. Today the member
ship is 225.

gave out 1,155 pairs of stockings to
1,155 needy little children. This year
we want the membership to reach

The Courier Junior has many new
readers, SO we will tell them some
thing of the club:
The Courier Junior was the first
Christmas club in Iowa, or any Of the
nearby states and was planned right
here in this Office. December, 1906. Its
purpose is to make little children very
happy at Christmas time. Then again
If we wish to give presents at Christ
mas time and do not want our friends
to know from whom the gifts come,
Santa Claus will deliver them for us If
we ask him. You all know that Santa
Claus does not always give useful pre-
SCENTS, such as stockings and mittens.
However, Santa Claus will be glad to
distribute these useful and warm gifts
IL the members of the Christmas Stock
ing club give them. All one has
to do to become a member of the club
is to give a nice pair Of well filed
