than two months during the summer.
The berries are large and of a fine fla

many beautiful flower as a section
the same size in Seattle or Portland:
such that the plants will grow on the

Spanish and Portuguese. Nor did the
heads OF the firms in Germany leave
everything to their agents. They were
always making personal visits to study
local and credit conditions
on the spot. Above all, they took care
to give the importer what he wanted"
turning specifically to the opportuni-
ties In Argentina, the Chronicle de-
clares that a great effort is necessary
here If England is to maintain COM
mercial predominance. The last COM
p!ete years returns for this republic
show that in 1913 the trade was divided
as follows: England, $780, 600, 900: Ger
many $4,000, 900, and the United States
$62, 900, 900.
In Brazil. the second most important
market. the Chronicle believes that the
clearing of the financial atmosphere
which has come about since the war
opens new opportunities for the first
nation on the spot. Chile, the third
country in commercial Importance, is
likely, the article adds, to show sur
prising developments during the next
few years owing to the opening Of the
Panama canal.
In conclusion, the article quotes from
a British consular report the following
advice to would-be traders in South
America:
There are two essential points.
First, do not despise small orders;
treat the 500 order with the same re-
spect as if it was for 500, 900. Sec
ond. use extreme caution when quoting
prices. They should be the very low-
est that your business can stand. There
should be nc question of how much
You can get. but Of how much you
can sacrifice in order to secure the
customer"

FORESEE TRADE WAR
WITH THIS COUNTRY
London Chronicle Doubts, How.
ever, That United States
Can Best Britain.

London, (by mail).-Great Britain
has no intention of allowing the Uni
ted States to GUST it from first place
the Daily Chronicle in a long and
earnest discussion Of The South
American Market" After noting the
relative positions of England, Germany
and the United States in South Ameri-
can trade prior to the war, the article
warns it's readers that the United
States has already accomplished a
great deal in it's effort to take adj
vantage Of the opening offered it.
But let us look for a moment at the
assets of the British raider in South
America" continues the Chronicle.
"One Of his greatest is his reputation
honorable dealings. which will stand
him in good stead in the coming race
for trade. 1t must be maintained at
all costs. South American people have
had experience of our methods Of BUSH
ness and of those of the United States,
and as a general rule they prefer our
own. II they car do SO they will deal
with us.
Another great point in our favor is
h remarkably strong position IF our
leading banks. The names of the An
glo-South American banks, the British
Bank of South America, and the Lon
don and Brazilian bank are household
words in banking and financial circles
all over the world. Enlightened
management and the growth of Brit

tnence in South American trade in the
past has been due in no small degree

chant marine. The United States is not
slow to appreciate the Importance of
the banking and shipping elements.

:enters. while her colossal activity in
producing war munitions and the sale
u her foodstuffs at high prices will en-
lble her for the first time in her career
% END freely abroad and also to put
money into the development Of her
mercantile marine.
Another point In our favor is the
arge amount Of British capital already
sun In the various South American
countries. This reaches the stupen-
lous total Of $~3.750.O00. while our an
1ual trade In South America, prior to
the war. touched $3.50. O00, 900, or one
fourth OF h total trade OF those coun-
tries. Obviously British companies
will. whenever possible. place their or

traders must give them what they want

She left the Heaven of Heroes and came
To make a man to meet the mortal need:

Dashed through it all a strain of

Tempered the heap with a thrill of human

As to the great oak flaring TO the wind
To the graves low hin as to the Natter

He built the rail-pile as he built the
