creased by the end of the year, for the
wheat shipments have as yet hardly
begun.
Thus, the American government has
not been able merely to liquidate the
liabilities it contracted from time to
time inE Europe before the war, but has
also been able to demand large sums of
gold from the belligerent states to
which it has been sending such large
supplies of war material and other
commodities.
land the result of this inflow of gold
is that American bankers are now In
position to supplant European nations
in lending money to South American
countries, and to secure complete con-
troll of the South American markets by
opening branches of their banks in large
towns and giving local credits
''The war, then, is not resulting as
commercial circles in England apparent
" expected it would some 16 months
ago. German competition was to be
shattered, but now we see rising from
the din of war a tremendous competitor
who will very soon prove more danger
GUS to England's position in the world
market than Germany would have been,
| if she had been allowed to develop
along normal lines for the next 30
years.
"While European countries are
gradually exhausting themselves in an
| unparalleled struggle. and can look for
ward to nothing after the war but huge
load of debt, the United States is pay
ing off her liabilities, and is, further
more, laying aside financial reserve
which will easily ensure for her q
definite place in the world market after
the war-a place of which even the
most famboyant prophet Of this land
of unlimited possibilities had never
even dreamed"

VIII america Become a
" Grid Supremacy

Europe is beginning to see that the
United States will become a world
supremacy in finance if the war lasts
much longer. A recent issue of the
German socialist newspaper, "Vor
waerts, r" in speaking of this country
as THE Real Victor" says:
when the war began experienced
business men and financiers expressed
the view that in all probability the
United States would reap the greatest
economic advantages from it, and that
neither Germany nor England would
stand to gain anything, no matter
which side might win. The election of
German exports from the markets of
the world will not only afford the
United States an opportunity of ex-
tending her trade, in particular to South
America, but will also enable the
United States, thanks to the new cur
rency law, which strengthens the posi-
ton of New York finance, to extend her
financial operations to South America
as well. If such operations are skillfully
carried sout, the English bankers in
South America will feel the effects of
the competition, and the Northern Ameri-
cans will rapidly secure financial
performance in the southern continent
which, in ordinary circumstances, they
could not reasonably have expected for
two or three score years.
During the first ten months of the
the United States exported
goods to the.value of ST., 4O4. OO1. 600 more
than she imported. This sum of course,

ITO Avoid the Grip and Pneumonia

A national specialist on health lays
down the following rules if you would
avoid the grip and pneumonia:
Keep out of crowds.
Keep away from people with colds.
Then if you get cold keep in bed
and avoid becoming exhausted. Do the
same with pneumonia and get trained
nurse. The germs get into the throat
and then into the system.
With pneumonia avoid strong drink
do no eat to much and keep plenty of
fresh air in the living rooms.

A former resident OF Barab) 20 writes
from Laurel, Maryland, as follows:
Laursl, Maryland, January 7. 1916
Your Baraboo Bear Tales has ju. t
reached US and have devoured them.
Abe Wood! have your picture of
him engraved UPON my memory at the
age of six. | can see ic now althou b
until you wrote of him do not know as
/ had thought of it for years.
In the spring of 1848 or 1849 my ia
ther moved to Baraboo to take temper
airy care of the store of my uncle, j. F.
Sanford, which stood at the foot of
the hill as one crossed the river coming
from Sank. Across the street on the
left hand side was George Hile's saloon.
That and Browns grist mill are all the
houses see in this mental picture.
The Indians were in town having
begging dance" in front of the
store and my mother and little sister,
n w Mrs. Hal Sy-e of Denver. Colo
ra o, and We're at the viz low of the
chamber over the store watching them
when great commotion arose. Abe
Wood, bleeding and furious, came
rushing from the saloon and attempted
to pursue some one into the store. My
father probably assisted by others,
would not let him in and he stood on
the steps and filled the air with horri-
BILE threats and profanity.
We children and my mother were
frightened almost to death. Later on
must have seen his daug hter, a fiat
faced dark girl much older than my
self but never connected her name
with Abe Wood until your mention of
her but now am sure she was the
Margaret Wood of Bara boo Bear
Tales. Mrs. Peck and her daughter.
Victoria, were familiar figures in those
far off days.
We moved from the store to house
built by Asa Wood, an M. E. preacher,
directly across the street from DR..
Oowles' house and his daughter, Maria,
and ison, Lucian, then too young to be
very good at building sand houses and
no use at all at picking wild flowers,
were our constant playmates for two
years, when we moved to Skillet
Creek and had VIM. Garfield for our
nearest neighbor. The beauty of the
walk from our house to his when we had
time to follow the creek, especially in
the spring, words seem inadequate to
describe.
The original forests still clothed most
of the land and thescreek was success
sion of little pools, just right to swim
in and short rapids which we could cross
at low water without wetting our feet
by jumping from one stone to another.
In some places the water was overhung
by alders and other shrubs, but in other
grass and woodsy plants came down to
it's edge and among them were all the
shy dainty flowers that love seclusion-
Clumps of blood root and hepaticas, fol-
owed later, by dutchmsn's breaches,
colts foot and sweet white vIolets.
Columbines and shooting stars nodded
from the rocks that overhung some OF
the pools and winter green and par
fridge berries grew among the MOSES
