The year 1914 may be taken as the
poorest year Brazil has known. At
the beginning Of that period a finan-
cial and commercial crisis was on, due
partly to inflated credits and partly
to the drop in the price Of rubber
and the condition of the money mar
ket abroad. The European war, inter-
rupting so seriously both the market
for Brazilian products and Brazilian
securities. made the last hve months
Of the year especially disastrous.
Prosperity cannot be fully restored
until the war ends. but with the dawn
OF peace Brazil's foreign commerce
may be expected soon to reach $780,
900, 900. In the light OF a permanent
market Brazil may be said to offer
comodities to the extent OF at least
s325ooo, 900 annually.
Good Customers In Europe.
Under normal conditions the United
Kingdom, Germany and France mons
European countries. were the nations
absorbing the greatest quantities OF
Brazilian products. In the import
trade Of Brazil Great Britain main
tanned a steady advantage over her
European competitors. Imports from
Great Britain in good trade years sell
dom were less than $4,000 900. Ger
many came next with upward OF
$500 900 and then France with $685.

France has furnished motor cars.

silk goods and various articles Of lux
ury. Italy has supplied cotton goods.
motor cars. machinery. hats and other
wearing apparel. Switzerland has
had the market for condensed milk.

including wire.
The United States is Brazil's best
market. 1t absorbs 40 per cent. OF the
total exports. II takes one-half the
rubber and two-fifths OF the coffee
product. In some years the coffee bill
of the United States payable to Brazil

The balance of trade is very largely

portion of nearly three TO one For

Brazil from the United States were n

vestments represent about 500, 000,-

The most distinctively American in
vestments are the enterprises of DR..
+. 3. Pearson and his associates,
though they are also Canadian and
English in the capital that has been
invested. These enterprises are the
light and power companies Of Rio de
Janeiro and Sac Paulo which operate
the gas. electric light and traction
companies of those cities and furnish
power for various industries. Some
American money il also invested in
the Farquhar railway projects and
in the live stock industries affiliated
with the railway companies.

exports. The normal measure OF

products OF the United States, there
Will be a balance of trade in her favor.
This Will necessarily be in the form
OF a credit balance. The Significant
development since the opening Of the

WHITLEY TOWNSHIP

The Banner Township now is found
After a state wide search around,
There's nothing equal to the ground
In Whitby.
The deep black loan with clay sub-soil
Yields bounteous crops with little toll
Which makes the residents so loyal
In Whitby.
The fertile fields are free from stone,
While sand and dust storms are unknown
The record crops are alwaps grown
In Whitby.
All kinds of grain and grasses too
Adorn the fields the summer through
You wonder why SO rank they grew
In Whitby.
Corn fields are seen on every hand
1t makes fine feed and cleans the land,
Which makes the farms in such demand
In Whitby.
Alfalfa too has found its way
Pressing its claim as king of hay
The native grass has seen its day,
In Whitby.
Large herds of stock receive good care
Through wintry days, and weather fair.
To view the best you must be there
In Whitby.
The horses are for beauty known,
For heavy weight, and good clean bone,
They haul such loads the wagons groan
In Whitby.
The cattle ara the finest sort
Their backs are broad, their legs are short.
The dealers buy them for export
In Whitby.
The Whitby farmers success lies
In keeping pigs that all have eyes;
And never one from cholera dies
In Whitby.
In roads they take an honest pride
They're graded even, high and wide.
To Others they should be a guide
In Whitby.
The residents hail from many a cline
From Norways shores, and from the Rhine
While Swedes and Frenchman also dine,
In Whitby.
Great Britains men are there galore
Americans helped to swell the score,
The Austrians add a few votes more
To Whitby.
While farms are large, and people few
This final message calls to you,
To journey with your family through
To Whitby.
Prosperity there will be your lot
With all the joys that can't be bought,
If you farm in Natures garden spot.
