THE MANLY MAN

The world has room for the manly
man with the spirit of manly
cheer;
The world delights in the man who
smiles when his eyes keep back
the tear;
1t loves the man who, when things
go wrong, can take his place and
stand
With his face to the fight and his eyes
hand;
The manly man is the country's need,
and the moments need, forsooth,
With a heart that beats, to the pulsing
tread of the lilied leagues of truth:
The world is his and it waits for him
and it leaps to hear the ring
OF the blows he strikes and the wheels
he turns and the hammers he
dares to swing;
It: likes the forward look In his face,
the poise of his noble head,
And the onward lunge of his tireless
will and the sweep Of his daunt-
less tread;
Hurrah for the manly man who comes
!: with sunlight on his face,
And the strength to do and the will
to dare and the courage to find
his place
The world delights in the manly man,
and the weak and evil fee
When the manly man goes forth to
hold his own on land or sea-!

1920 Tower Avenue.


The SUCCESS of G. O. johnson has
been due to the determined effort of
the management to please and satis-
fy every customer, giving all thes best
value for their money, and he has
demonstrated his ability to give his
patrons such values, and courteous
service, as to steadily increase his
business. This store has constantly
become more popular with the peo-
pie who on account of the. uniform
courtesy shown them, and the splen-
did values offered them, have made
1t a practice to come from all sur
rounding territory to trade at this re-
liable store.
The business is under able manage
ment, and Is in every detail closely
attended to-. This store carries an
extensive and complete stock of shoes
for men, women and children and a
great many bearing the union label,
all Of which have been purchased
from the largest and best shoe manu-
facturers in the country. ."~
. The repair department whichis one
of the largest in tho city is in charge
of an expert workman who is paid
the highest Of wages, which assures
you of the best quality of work. Mr.
Johnson has always been a friend to
the laboring people, and we take:
pleasure in recommending this store

In our last report on the general
condition of trade we said, Business
is convalescing." 1t is a pleasure to
30 over definite figures on basic bus
iness conditions today and find that
business is still improving. This does
not mean that business is as strong as
1t should be in every part but that
strength will come with exercise and
activity and, as activities are increas-
ing daily in numerous lines, it is
reasonable to expect that business will
soon be normal.

December were nearly 13 billion dol

Must Revamp Opinions.
g. In our December Foreign Trade
statement, we find food for much
serious reflection. Our trade with
other countries in December was
large enough to nearly make for the
falling off occasioned by the European
War and the attendant interruption
of commerce. Those people who be-
ieved that trade with the neutral and
even the belligerent nations would
amount to little until the arrival of
peace must revamp their conclusions
In the face of the happenings Of De-
Gem ber. During that month, our
exports reached the remarkable total
of 246 million dollars, a figure never
before reached in the commercial
history of the country except during
the three closing months of 1912.
In the exports of any one month, some
individual commodity usually stands
out as the big item so there is nothing

. The fate of any city rests with the
banks of that city If those institu-
tions are conservatively progressive,
ready to aid every worthy enterprise,
always protecting their loans, the city
Is bound to prosper.
1t Is easy to judge the merits of a

alive to the needs of their community,
that will be the policy Of the bank.
The Bank of Commerce established
in 1888, is offcered by the following
gentlemen: Chas A. Chase being
president; Allen P. Lovejoy, vice pres
ident; Edw. L. Cass, cashier; James
M. Crawford assistant cashier, and
Robert A. Jones, assistant cashier.
These names are all familiar to
Superior people, being seen in con-
nection with. every movement which
has for it's object the betterment Of
our oity and the increase of her pres
tige throughout the county.
The Bank of Commerce conducts a
regular banking business, and since
it's establishment. has enjoyed repu-
tation for solidity and reliability Of
which it may be justly proud, and
the city as we'll, in being the home Of
such an institution.
Any person may, by self denial, lay
a portion of their earnings regularly
in the savings department of the
Bank of Commerce and it is surpris-
ing how rapidly these will accumu-
LITE at 3 per cent interest, which is
paid here on all savings accounts.
This bank also offers you a safe
place to deposit your money and val
uables. Every bill should be paid by
check as your cancelled checks are
the best receipts you can hold prov
Ing payments of accounts.
The new quarters of the Bank OF
Commerce was built at a cost of
100000. Their bank is beautifully
fitted up and has all of the conven-
fences that have become essential tc
the modern bank. We gladly make
proper reference to this conservative
business institution in this Home

our favor, indicating that our floating
debt to- Europe has been paid or Off
set and that the principal European
0ountries will either be shipping gold
to us from this time forward or be
borrowing money from the people of
this country. One such direct loan
Of credit has already been negotiated
and Russia is settling for goods pur-
chased in this country by giving her
notes for the amount. These notes
must be paid within a few months,
either with imports from Russia or
with gold or American securities.
The railroad situation shows decid-
ed improvements since the freight rate
decision and while both gross and net
earnings of railroads are still far be-
low normal or satisfactory figures, the
trend is, in the right direction and the
railroads are taking on a new activity,
both in the purchasing and operating
departments Complete figures for
November and December gross and
net earnings of railroads are not yet
available but partial reports already
indicate that the earnings for these
two months were about in proportion
to the preceding months. Heavier
railroad earnings will undoubtedly be
recorded from the first of the year on
but earnings cannot reach former to-
tails until the railroads have been able
to restore the service to what it was
a. few months ago. Taking off trains
and laying off employees eliminate
some current expense and reduce pay
rolls but fixed charges remain and it
will, therefore, be natural for the
roads to restore their normal service
as rapidly oa possible as only in this
way can they reduce the percentage of
fixed charges as measured against to-
tai earnings. Thousands of men have

unusual in the fact that the big export
item for December was wheat. Wheat
and cotton were both big factors in
the high record months at the close
Of 1912. If exports were 'abnQrmally
large, it is but natural that some COM
modify of prime necessity should: rep
resent strong portion of the total
of such exports. Exports are not
confined to wheat nor are they con-
fined to bread-stuffs; during the first
week in January our copper exports
were valued at more than million
Of copper: during December and the
first few days of January, we exported
8 million dollars worth Of copper.
Among the big November export gains
were iron and steel, nickel, metal
working machinery, automobiles, auto
mobile tires, leather and SKINS gaso-
line and tobacco, all to England, and
metal working machinery, auton1o-
biles, furs and skins, boots and shoes,
and gasoline to France. All Of these
items showed material gains over a
year ago and you will note they are
aside from foodstuffs. Imports for
December were ia million dollars
compared with 124 millions the pre-
vious month and 1S5 millions in De-
cember q year ago. BY comparing
these import and export figures, we
find we created a trade balance in
favor of this country in the month of
December Of almost 1872 million dol
lars which should stand as high record
but for that of October, 1913, when
our favorable balance for the month
showed 139 million dollars. This is
the fourth time on record that we
have created a favorable trade bal

for the year 1914, including Bitumin-
Gus, has been estimated at SO million

Final figures on output of crude
petroleum for this. country for last
year are 292 million barrels a 13 per
cent increase over the previous high
record made in 1913 at 248 million
barrels. High prices stimulated the
increased production early in the year.
The output of Portland Cement for
1914 was estimated at SO million bar
rels, compared with 90 million barrels
the previous year, a decrease Of near
ly 4 per cent. These figures are part
ly estimated as reports are not all in.
Cement prices averaged slightly lower
than in 1913
For the year 1914, this country
produced 6S million ounces of silver,
valued at 81 million dollars. This is
given as a preliminary estimate and

duced,- this is good record. Our

Assets were larger for the failed con-
Germs this year so that the actual loss
to creditors will be less than a year
