WHERE OUR TRADE GOES

In spite of the fact that we sent
directly to Germany 5000, 900 less
during the fiscal year ending June
30 than during the year previous, to
Belgium $4O,OOOO,OOO less and to Aus
trai-Hungary 21,ooo,OO0 less, still
our exports to all Europe increased
from s1,4se.49s,72s to s1,s71, ,4s2, 1872.
With no war in the western hem
lsphere or in the Orient, except in
Mexico, our exports to foreign coun-
tries in North America fell from
$52s,644,s62 to SAT- 7,os1 ,s2o. Our ex-
ports to South America fell from
s124.5ss, 900 to $e9,s2s,eg7. During
the same period we lost $4,000, 900 of
our export trade to the islands Of
the Pacific.
On the other side of the balance
sheet. we delivered $S1, ,000, 900 more
~oods to the Netherlands than during
he previous year, the volume rising
from $112,215,673 to s143,267 ,o1s. We
increased our trade with Norway from
$9,066,610 to $39,074,501. To Sweden
we sold $78,273,818 as against s14,-
644,226 in 1914. We sent to Italv
S184,819,683, as against $74,235,012

THE VACATION IDEA

Vacations seem to have been invent
ed in America. No other nation has
such an irresistible inclination to lay
aside ordinary duties and routine at
least once year, and seek the re-
freshment that comes with rest and
change. The custom is really of re-
cent growth. Only within a gener-
alton has it become national charac-
teristic asserting it's power over all
classes.
And it is possible that this very
institution, the American vacation, is
responsible for much of the enormous
progress and broadening of vision of
our people that have come about in
the last decade or two.
Let us admit, before we go any
further, that there is vast amount of
rubbish preached about vacations. A
vacation is not Physical necessity ~
It is quite possible for the ordinary
man or woman to plug right along
year after year, and keep in perfect
health without ever taking a week off

American. He is jolted out of his
rut. He sloughs off his narrow ego
tism. Above all, he gets away from
his job and his mode of life for a
little while, and looks at them from
the new, Illuminating standpoint of
an outsider.
Who has not felt the sudden,
strange change of view at the moment
when his train or boat carries him
out of his own town for vacation
trip after year or two of steady, en-
crossing work? He is sort of dis
embodied mind, judging himself and
estimating his place in society. He
sees work, home and friends, in a
new light.
"What was it all about - he asks
himself? "Why all the grubbing and
toiling? Where does the beaten road
lead to? What is the object of it
all? What is life for? Am I getting
the most out of it? Am I doing my
work right? Am I in the right work i?
Am working too much-or too lit
tie? Am I neglecting the finer as
poets of life friendship, and home
life, and the cultivation of fine tastes
and appreciations? Am I succeed
ing. either with my job or with the
more important thing-with myself ?"
And that sort of self f-sizing-up whe-
ther it's conscious or subconscious.
made possible in new environment
and powerfully assisted by the new
ideas gained in the change, is the real
vacation benefit. The mind is re-
freshed and the refreshment of the
body naturally follows.

Gus and intelligent attention to simple
hygienic rules of exercise, diet and
sleep. In fact, any sensible person
will depend on such aids, as a part
of his regular routine, rather than on
periodic "rests," to keep himself fit.
The notion that in a two weeks
vacation a person can "store up en-
ergy" to last for six months or a
year has done great harm. 1t leads
unrefecting people to wear them
selves out in the expectation of res
toring the physical damage when va
cation time comes.
And such persons are likely to
abuse their vacations. The time is
short, and they have the great "store
Of energy" to accumulate. They
plunge wildly into unwonted exercise.
They make themselves sick with SUM-
burn and over-exertion. Often they
come back wearier than when they
went away. Others, nerve-tired and
reckless when they surrender the re-
straint of daily work and home en-
vironment, substitute alcohol for rest
or exercise. And that, of course, is
the most unwise way of all.
No, the physical "building up"
though important, isn't the main thing
in vacations. The real purpose, the
real benefit, is mental.
Nothing in the world is more stupe-
flying, more hostile to progress, more
fatal to worthwhile achievement, than
monotony of environment. The un-
progressive races are the races that
don't take vacations, and don't travel.
So are the unprogressive individuals.
A man may boast of what he has ac-
complished by sticking right to the
job, year after year, in the same spot,
but he generally deceives himself. He
stagnates instead of growing as he
might.
Vacation travel is the greatest
school in the world. The easterner
goes west, the westerner goes east,
the southerner goes north, the north
erner goes south. In ordinary times
there is vast hegira to Europe, and
every tourist returns more alert,
more open to new ideas, more prolific
of "hunches" for work and recreation,
more interested in art, architecture
and education, in other human be-
ines. in social problems, in the i'm
portant aspects of public and private
life.
This year we are restricted to ou,
own country, and for year or two al
least that will do no harm. Ever,
vacationer who travels,-and wht
doesn't?-becomes better informed

saw UNHURT BY
STRIKING WEDGE
Photograph Taken at Crays
Harbor Shingle Company's
Plant Shows Result

just what big saw will stand in
the course of daily work in shingle
mill is illustrated in the last issue
Sof the West Coast Lumberman Of Sc
=attle, which prints a photograph of a
steel wedge into which an S6-inch in
serted tooth cutoff saw, working on
a cedar log in the plant of the Grays
Harbor Shingle company, this city,
bumped. The Lumberman has this
comment to make:
Notwithstanding that the saw cut
into the wedge for nearly two inches,
the severe usage did not loosen the
inserted teeth. The points were mere
ly dulled and thirty minutes after the
wedge was struck the saw was again
In use.
This test illustrates the substantial
method that is used in putting the in
serted teeth for cutoff saws into the
, place and the test to which the saw
in the Grays Harbor Shingle company
was put conveys some idea of the
amount of abuse that these saws will
stand"

COOPERATIVE
PLAN FOR MILL
Single Weavers Of South
Bend Obtain Lease on Plant
From Alex McC Caskill

SOUTH BEND, April ga deal
which the workers say will eliminate
labor troubles has been consummated
by Alex McCaskill, owner Of the Nema
Improvement company and shingle
weavers formerly employed by him.
when he leased his mill to twenty-five
men who were represented by Oscar
Hartman, s. L. Curl and Joe Former.
The plan of the men interested is to-
work the shingle mill on cooperative
basis. C. s. Poage will market the out
put.
The men who will work in the mill
are all members of the Timber Work
ers union and they claim that there
will be no friction in the operation Of
the mill. The three men who repre-
sented the workers during the negoL
tiations with Mr.. McCaskill have beeu
delegated board of directors to han
die the mill operations.
The McCaskill mill has been closed
for a year and when it shut down,
McCaskill had large supply of logs
on hand. These are to be used BY
the new operators. They will also
obtain a supply of logs from other
camps. The mill has capacity OF
100000 shingles daily and 1t is ex-
pected that orders will be received
that will crowd the machinery to the
limit.
1t is thought that the cooperative
plan offered by the shingle weavers
themselves will eliminate chance Of
strikes in South Bend. The three a.
rectors have all worked at the Ne
Caskill mill at various times and are
practical shingle men. They are con
vinced that they can make tho propo-
sition pay.
