Once upon time. so the story goes,
. Frenchman visiting the tomb Of Ma
poleon wrote on convenient wall the
lines:
Bony' was a great man, soldier
brave and true"
An Englishman, coming along lit

+But Wellington did beat him at
the battle Of Waterloo"
The next visitor was an American

lions. rushed into the competition with

IMMORTAL BOOK OF RUTH
Hreat Pastoral Idyl VIII Live Because
IL Is Founded on Recital Of
Lovino-Klndness.
MAkEKS Of JEWELKI
100 MAIN STREET SALT LAKE GIN

The Book of Ruth, is the greatest
pastoral idyl In literature. 1t is founded
on loving-lzindness the loving-kind-
ness OF the MOabitess revealed to her
family, and the loving-kindness Of
Boaz, the wealthy Israelite, to Ruth,
his kinswoman. It also contains the
germ Of that great-heartedness' which
ls the center of the gospel Of Christian
love. 1t is a book that opens with tears
and famine, and ends with the sound Of
wedding bells.
The story turns upon the straight
forwardness. of, Boaz, who showed
Kindness and manliness to Ruth,
member Of nation that was Israel's
foe, and In that kindness founded a
new house, the house Of Jesse and
David, the royal line that began q
greater than David. 1t was the first
mingling of the blood Of the Jew and
Gentle, symbolic of the cosmopolitan
width Of the Christian religion. 1t was
the sign that that religion was not
to be founded upon wealth or upon
social caste, but upon the large, whole
some love Of the human heart.
Boaz is immortal among Bible heroes
sfor his kindness, his plain, everyday
generosity, his sense Of protection and
care for the lonely, unprotected Moa-
british girl, his dead kinsman's wife,
who in her poverty CLEANED in his har-
west field after the reapers. Boaz gave
orders to his reapers that they should
allow her to CLEAN even among the
sheaves of barley, and by his large
heartedness gained wife, and, more
than that, made place for himself In
that immortal company who are re-
now9ed for naught but for being kind.

ORGANIZER BEATEN BY MOB.
Western Federation Organizer Elected
From Copper Field.

WSStSIH FCuCTdAloH organizer ElecCeG
From Copper Field.
Copper Hill, Tenn.-Guy e. Miller of
Denver, organizer for the Western
Federation Of Miners, was seized by a
mob as he returned from meeting
near here Saturday and was taken TO
the outskirts of the town, whipped
and ordered to leave.
J. A. Jones, Miller's local assistant,
was taken from his room in a hotel,
marched through the streets at the
head of crowd and forced to swear
that he would leave town on the next
train. He left.
The trouble arose when citizens and
members of trades unions affiliated
with the American Federation of La
Dor objected to the attempt of West
ern Federation Of Miners to gain a
control of the labor situation in the
copper fields near here. Miller had
led the effort to organize the mine
workers in opposition to the United
Mine Workers Of America. who have
been supported by what is said to be
majority of business men in the
Tennessee copper fields.

OUR EXPORT TRADE
HURT BY BRITISH
BLOCKADE BIG HlNDRANcE TO
EXPANSION OF RAPIDLY
GROWING BUSINESS.
Shipments That Formerly Went tc
Europe Via Hamburg Have Gone
to Sweden Since Start of
the War.

Stockholm, -Notwithstand-
ing the many obstacles with which
they meet, representatives of Amer
lean exporting concerns here are en-
deavoring to maintain trade relations
between the United States and Swe-
den so as to be in position to take
advantage of the permanent opportun1-
ties expected with the conclusion of
European peace.
Prior to the war, America played an
almost negligible part in the trade of
Sweden, export and import alike. Dur
ing the fiscal year ended June 80, 1915,
imports from the United States, how
ever, took leap which carried them
up more than 600 per cent above the
normal. Then came the Tightening OF
the British blockade and the Swedish
war trade act which prohibits an i'm
porter from giving guarantees to Great
Britain covering goods bought in the
United States or other neutral coun-
tries. Under these adverse influences
the trade has rapidly declined, the
American imports for the first three
months of 1916 having amounted only
to $12,213.590 against Sal, 943,301 in
1915. Although the figures are not
available here it is said the trade Of
more recent months has shown sim
liar or even greater falling off. The
Sewdish government has adopted the
policy of not announcing export or i'm
port figures during the war and 1t is
regarded as a misdemeanor to ask for
them. In February, 1916, the imports
from the United States amounted to
a little more than $2,000,000 against
more than s13,O0O,0O0 year ago. In
March the decline was from eighteen
millions in 1915 to four millions in
1916.
England contended that these enor-
nous imports from America meant one
of two things-either that they were
going to Germany through Sweden or
were replacing on the market here
Swedish goods shipped to Germany.
