voter should take part in the selection
of candidates to be voted on at the

looms well above the other six candi-

Milk Trade Abroad.

According to bulletin Of the department OF
commerce, American condensed milk is being sold
IN large quantities abroad. On the other hand,
Holland and Switzerland are selling larger guam
titles of milk here. The bulletin says:
American condensed milk is enjoying vogue
in Europe that it never knew in peaceful times.
The exports from this country in 1915 amounted
to 100000 pounds valued at $6,0O0,O00, ac-
cording to figures furnished by the bureau of
foreign and domestic commerce, and the bulk of
these exports went to Europe. In normal times
the value of condensed milk sold abroad varies
between $1,o0O,0O0 and 100000, and ordinar-
lily the best customers are Cuba, Panama, China
and Mexico.
The increased exports of condensed milk to
Europe are easy to explain, under the circum-
stances but there has been an increase in imports
from European countries that is pulling Italy's
recent participation in the American trade has
caused some comment but the fact that Holland
and Switzerland sold much larger quantities of
milk in the United States in 1915 than ever be-
fore is considered more remarkable, for these
two countries have access to practically all mar
kets in Europe. The total imports into the Uni
ted States from all countries in 1915 were valued
at practically $20OO,00O, or one-third Of the ex-
ports, and although Canada furnished more than
half, Holland did a business approximating
100000 as against less than 100000 the year
previous. Switzerland now is selling to us at a
rate of $250,O00 year, where formerly practi-
cally no milk came from that country

South Side Bridge.

After years of hard fighting and patient wait
ing, the South Side Improvement association re-
joices today that the county commissioners have
ordered the construction of the south side bridge
South street has been selected as the site The
construction of the span is of the biggest VIC
tories the South Side Improvement association
has won. For many years, inconspicuous but
doggedly, this association has been bringing fac
tories to Richmond, improving residence dis
tricts working for the civic welfare. 1t is fitting
and proper that it be given credit for it's work in
making possible the construction Of the south
side bridge.
The commissioners and the county council
ought to hurry the construction of the south side
bridge. There is no doubt now that many months
will eapse before any definite action is taken on
the Main street project. The divergency of opin-
ion regarding the kind of bridge, its length, it's
position. is so wide at present that it will take
time before solution of the problem is reached.
There is no hurry for the Main street span. Let
the questions involved be threshed out thorough
ly by the public before the commissioners take
up the project.
In the meantime, the construction of the
