YEARS TRADE BALANCE
GREATEST IN HISTORY
Amounts in Round Figures to Billion
Dollars, Surprising Record by
S400,O0O,0o0.

WASHINGTON, July IA billion
dollar trade balance-the greatest in
American histery-in year which has
seen commerce depressed by Ii months
of world war is the commercial record
of the United States. Official announce
ment made yesterday at the department
OF commerce that with the closing of
the fiscal year at midnight it was GER
tam that the billion dollar mark had
been passed.
The figures for IL months ending
May 81, 1T was announced, t'show a
favorable balance of 1888, 117,479. AS

Approximately $60,00O,000, it is now
known that the excess of exports over
imports has at this date exceeded 81
oe0,oo000O, surprising by nearly $400.-
100000, the highest record heretofore
made -
Figures indicating that the new high
record would be made have been placed
before the President and cabinet from
time to time by Secretary Redfield
Only yesterdays official announcement
was lacking. Generally the showing
was considered all the more crafty
ing because it was made despite the
paralysis of ocean shipping and the
stagnation in the cotton market which
depressed Americas second most val
liable crop.
Department of commerce experts
point out that the immense trade bal
anee is not owing to orders for NUM-
lions Of war. In fact manufacturers
generally, other than food stuffs, have
been less than in the similar period
before tho war
This billion dollar balance for Tho
fiscal year is distinct from the billion
dollar net balance which government
officials have predicted would be reach
ed by the United States during the
present calendar year. To arrive at q
net balance, there must be subtracteC

o clock A children were there. A COM
mittee of the women residents of that
section is in charge of the ground and

providing some one as matron. The
committee in charge of this ground is
composed of Mrs. Bert L. Sargent, Mrs

CATTLE FROM THREE STATES.
Exhibits at State Fair From Vermont,
New Hampshire and Maine.

WHITE RIVER JUNCTION, July
1.-Preparations for the annual Yer
mont State Fair are under way, with
frequent meetings of the executive
committee. The dates selected are
Sept. II, Is, 16 and It. The state fair
has won the reputation of being the
most extensive cattle show east of
Ohio. Blooded stock has been exhibit
ed from all the eastern states and
Canada in great rImbers and as re-
suit it is stated by those who know,
that Vermont cattle have improved ex-
tensively the past few years. Owing
to the embargo placed on the shipping
of cattle early this year from one
state to another, made necessary by
the foot and mouth disease, the state
fair commission has found it necessary
to confine its cattle exhibits to the
stock of the Vermont, New Hampshire
and Maine cattle raisers. While this
action reduces the area from which ex-
hibitiOn cattle have come in past
years, it is believed and hoped that
Vermont cattle raisers will make the
largest exhibition they have ever made
and that all the pens will be filed
The premiums have not been reduced
and the opportunity for keeping these
awards within the state is at hand.
The 1915 state fair premium book
will come from the press in a few
days. A copy can be had by writing

COMPLETING VAST
IMPROVEMENTS
In Bay ST. Louis Equipment
Representing an Expendi-
ture of Ten Thousand Dol
lars---Means a More Mod
ern Plant and Better Ser
vice For Public.

An almost complete rehabilitation OF
the local telephone lines has been in
progress the past seven weeks or more
and at the end of two weeks the work
will have been completed.
The Cumberland Telephone and Tele-
graph Company, with view OF secur-
ing better service all the time and that
with more efficiency, has been spending
in local improvements no less a sum
than $4,000. The work has consisted OF
removing the overhead network OF
separate wires and replacing concealed
wires in one heavy cable, thus reducing
the possibility of disarrangement caused
by storms and other elements, reducing
the hazard of danger and crippling the
service.
A crew of fifteen men, headed by
Burt Marlborough, as construction for
man, has been here the past seven
weeks, engaged in removing the old
wires and old poles and. replacing new
lines along the streets and sidewalks as
directed by the Board Of Mayor and
Aldermen. The new poles are stronger
than the others, and carry the heavy
new cables at a point near the top.
Two cables leave the central stati on,
each containing four hundred wires.
This system extends along Front street,
Second street, Carroll avenue, and to-
wards Waveland as far as Nicholson
avenue, covering a distance of three
miles south from the point of starting
and one and one-half miles north.
This vast improvement is in line
with the company's policy OF ever
undermining its plants and outdoor
equipments, and which tends towards
better service for the individual and
the public at large; it means much foI
Bay ST. Louis and there is no doubt
that this city is appreciatiye OF the
company's efforts to ever improve lts
plant and service Commensurate with the
business accorded it. The local business
is splendid and this is due largely to the
excellent service which the company
provides and to the local manager, J. E
Erwin, who is alert to the best interests
of both the public he serves and the
people he represents. The corps o1
operators are like the manager, loya
to their work. the people and thei
employers, and the result is an all
around success.
