SHENANDOAH HAS
SUBSTITUTE FOR Y. M.

Shenandoah, Jan. 4.-Car1 Wen
strand, in the absence of Y M. c.
A., here, is giving the boys Of Shen-
andoah a very good substitute. Young
Wenstrand, just over 81 years, trains
class of youngsters at the armory
every Thursday evening. He Is doing
it free, too.
The organization is known as the
presbyterian Cubs" and it goes
through all the. gymnastic stunts
possible with the equipment on hand.
Young Wenstrand is thoroughly liked
by the boys for he treats them fairly
and has won their confidence.
When the Y. M. G. A., is finally
secured for Shenandoah, as seems
certain, Wenstrand's proteges will
form the nucleus of fairly well
drilled and enthusiastic organiza'
ton.

WORLD WAR GIVES
CHANCE FOR TRADE
Continued From Page H.

I'm thus establishing branch banks
In foreign countries" the report con-
tinues, 1--WE are following the lead OF
England, Germany and other European
countries, which have used their
banks as trade outposts. European
exporters have been able, because
they had their own banking institu-
lions on the ground, to extend credit
to their customers, when such credits
were deserved. Our exporters have
been hampered by the lack Of these
facilities. More important than this,
documents containing often the most
confidential facts Of our merchants and
manufacturers have been open to the
scrutiny Of our competitors.
1T has been a rare sight to see let
tiers of credit or bills of exchange
drawn in dollars. Usually the Ameri-
can merchant has done his business in
pounds sterling, often paying the cost
Of conversion. The Inauguration or
branch banks obviates the necessity
of this practice and makes it possible
to do business in dollars. With an in
creasing volume Of dollar exchange
and with an increasing number OF
branch banks and American banking
institutions, dollar exchange will be-
come more stable. At present dollar
exchange is preferred in the money
markets Of the world. Whether 1t will
be after the restoration Of normal con-
ditions in Europe remains to be seen.
1--WE can never hope to realize the
really big prizes in foreign trade until
we are prepared to loan capital to for
eign nations and to foreign enter
prises. The big prizes in foreign trade
are public and private developments
of large proportions, the building of
railroads, construction of public serv-
ice plants, improvement OF harbors
and docks, and digging Of canals.
New countries generally are poor.
They look to older and richer coun-
tries to supply them with the capital
to make their improvements and to
develop their resources. The country
which furnishes the capital usually
sells the materials and does the work.
The country that wants the business
must finance the purchases. The same
thing is true, but less directly, in the
case Of government loans. But there
is no doubt that the loans of one ma
ton to another form the strongest
kind of economic bond between the
two. 1t is commonly said that trade
follows the flag. 1t is much more tru-
ly said that trade follows the invest
ment or the loan"
DR.. Pratt emphasizes the need for
trained men to handle foreign trade
problems and urges their education
along special lines. Schools and col
leges so far have seemed unwilling to
see the need, he says, or if they do
have failed to give the thorough in.
struction necessary.
Commercial preparedness advocated
by Dr. Pratt would foresee that war
profits are not permanent and that at
the end of the war new markets must
