of Mr.. Hughes In October, 1910:
Now that Governor Hughes has
retired from politics and assembled to

bunal in the world, the fact can be
acknowledged without hurting any
body's political corns that he was
fhe greatest friend of labor laws that
ever occupied the governors chair

fact that the Maryland-West Virginii

Keen disappointment was mani
tested when it was announced that
the reunion was to be postponed, but
the fact that the railroad company
has nov guaranteed cars will mean
that there will be much activity in
the ranks of Odd Fellows throughout
the section covered by the excursion,

Daily Prodncts and the Var.

One Of the minor factors in the
foreign trade OF the last year was
that Of dairy products. While the
total doesn't loom large in compari-
son with the aggregate, only $24,-
100000 as alongside of some six and
a half billions, it is significant says
the Omaha Bee, as showing the pos
siblities of the United States as a
producer OF milk and the foods that
are made from milk
In 1913 our exports OF dairy prod
ucts were valued at $3,o00,0O0 while
our imports amounted to almost S1o,-
75O. 900. The last year saw but a
slight decrease in the exports Much
Of the total increase is accounted for
by the sale OF condensed milk and
cream abroad this having risen from
$1a0O.OO0 in 1913 TO s12,5O0.Ooo
in 1916. That the war is directly
accountable for this S admitted Dut
it is that much of an addition to the
share Of the American farmer in the
business created by the war.
