GROWTH OF FOREIGN TRADE.

The foreign trade of the United
States for the fiscal year ending June
80, 1914, was more than ten times
what it was in 1851, according to a
bulletin of the United States depart
ment of agriculture In 1851 the i'm
ports and exports We're valued at
s4OO. 100000; in 1914 they were s4,-
259,O00,000. The exports of agricul-
tural products have not, however, in
creased in quite the same proper
ton as the total value of the foreign
trade. In 1851 $147. 100000 worth of
agricultural products were exported,
and in 1914 100000. During
the same period exports of forest
products increased from little more
than s4,0OO,OO0 to almost $107, 900, 900.
Cotton heads the list of farm pro-
ducts exported, with an average an
nual value for the last five years of
s55O,O00,000. Packinghouse products
are second, with an average of $780,

THE CHAM NEWSPAPER.

Mr.. Frank A. Munsey has sold his
Baltimore newspaper to Maryland
men. For some years Mr.. MunSey has
been experimenting with a project for
establishing chain of newspapers ex-
tending to several large American
cities, endeavoring to direct and large
from New York. In a statement an
nouncing the Baltimore sale, Mr.. Mum
sey had this to say: THE newspaper
chain has a fatal defect.
There is always something akain to
the foreign accent that cannot be dis
guised." Mr.. Munsey might have said
much more on both the public and
private side of the chain newspaper.
1t is self-evident that newspaper
edited in its larger policies from a dis
lance cannot fail to conflict with it's
locality. The viewpoint of New York
is not and can never be the viewpoint
of the south, the middle west or the far
west. Hence the newspaper locally
owned and directed is alone able to
speak the sentiments and give the
angles of view of its locality, as the
chain newspapers can never do. But
this is not all. Inernally the chain
newspaper is kept in chronic state of
indignation by the application of
foreign-made policies. This means
endless vexation of spirit for the for
eign directors and constant irritation
and uncertainty for the workers in any
given locality where such newspaper
may exist.-Detroit Free Press.
AEROPLANE VS.. SUBMARINE.
For the third time recently the
story came from the Dardanelles of
the sinking of a submarine by
French airrnan. A similar occurrence
off the Belgian coast was reported re-
Gently by the British admiralty. the
victim being a German submarine and
the hero an English . aviator. The
feat is not impossible; indeed, the
fact that one of their undersea boats
was attacked in the manner indicated
is admitted by the German admiralty,
though it is insisted that the boat es-
capped injury by diving and returned
safely home. Looking straight down
from his height, an aviator can see
objects a considerable distance under
the surface of the water. A sub
marine submerged 20 feet or SO would
be clearly visible, and could possibly
be potted by lucky shot. But the
sea is wide, and the atmosphere is
boundless. There is one chance in a
million that aeroplane and hostile sub
marine would meet in exactly the
right position to give and receive an
attack 1t would be easier to find the
needle in a bottle of hay; and how

guished from a friendly one 20 feet

Marks Advice.

When Mark Twain, in his early
days, was editor of Missouri paper,
a superstitious subscriber wrote to
MIN saying that he had found a spi-
der in his. paper, and asking him
whether that was a sign of good or
bad luck. The humorist printed the
following answer: "Old Subscriber:
Finding a spiGer in your paper was
neither good luck nor bad luck for
you. The spider was merely looking
over our paper to see which mer-
chant is not advertising so that he can
go to that store, spin his web across
the door, and lead a life of undis-
turbed peace ever afterward."

Arizona State Fair Notes

Phoenix, Arizona, October 2. While the many big featur- es that are to be offered at the State Fair this year are compet- ing with each other for recogni- tion. and speculating as to which is to be the star attraction, pro- bably no one department gives more promise as to popularity than the annual dog show.
 Among the entries already re- ceived. are several high class Boston Bulls from the Kennels of Eddie Doyle and E. Worce- ster. The handsome English Bull bitch, ''Anawanda,' owned by M. Joe Murphy, together with the man trailing blood hounds, Rex and Tex, from this breeders kennels.
 The collie breed will be repre- sented by a large number Of en- tries. One of the finest strings of collies in the west will be ex- hibited by A. H. Fitz, owner of the Allah" collie kennels. in cluding the famous International champion collie bitch, ''Seedley Sonsie" and the well known stud, ''Bonair Big Boy" "Kor- ena of MerasoI. one of the fin- est specimens of the Russian Wolf hound in this country, will compete for honors.
 It is expected a large number of dogs will be entered from all over the state, and superinten- dent A. H. Fitz is arranging to bench over two hundred and fifty animals.
 October first marks the end of the entry season for the big har- ness events to be held at the Arizona State Fair November 18th to 20th, inclusive. Among these events are those for the faster Arizona horses, the 2:25 trot and the 2:20 pace.
 Interest in the harness events this year is exceptionally good owing to the fact that there have been number of good | stables in the west both from the Grand and the Great Western l Circuits. Phoenix is on both of l these horse maps. and conse- great racing will be the card as the best of both will be on hand to get bit out of the big purses.

NAMES ANDY LAWRENCE IN
ATTACK ON SHAW co.


An ordinance has been kicking
around in the judiciary committee of
the city council one year and two
months now. Every time it comes
out it is kicked back, with no action.
Now Tim Neary, business agent of
the chauffeUrs' union, says if there
isn't some action on it soon he's going
to call the roll and name aldermen in
on the deal.
A cut in taxi rates from so cents
for the first half mile to 80 cents is
proposed in the ordinance. The
Shaw Taxicab Co. is the only kicker
against the ordinance. This is the
way Tim Neary lines it up:
1.-THE Shaw Co. is a monopoly.
Efery big hotel downtown gets a 10
per cent commission on all business
it gipes the Shaw Co.
'"The only reason the city council
don't cut the rates is because the
Shaw Co. is stronger at the city hall
than the Independent taMcab men.
Andy Lawrence of the Examiner is a
stakeholder in the Shaw Co. Aid.
John Powers at one time seld stock
in the Shaw Co. He sold it and since
then it's easier for him as a member
of the subcommittee handling taxi
rates to stall off action and so help
the Shaw Co.
'In Chicago the taxi rate fixed by
city ordinance is higher than any
other big city in the country. The
report of Public Serpice Commission

more for the first half mile ride than
