ward Ewing Pratt, chief of the bu-
reau of foreign and domestic COM
merce, department of commerce, be-
fore the annual meeting of the Ma
tional Wholesale Grocers' Association
at Boston. 'The wholesale grocers
can perform a much more important
function in foreign trade than per-
haps they have any idea," the speaker
said. "Many of the largest items on
our list of exports have been food
products, but they are products which
have in a way sold themselves. It
has not taken very much salesman
ship or much exporting ability to
place our wheat or corn or -four and
other food products upon the mar
kets of the world. I believe that from
now on we shall experience keener
competition with the other great pro-
ducing centers and it will be neces-
sary for US to put more exporting
ability and more skilled craftsmanship
into the exporting of these products.
There are, however, host of new
products, at least comparatively new
products, put out in this country
through jobbers and wholesalers
which will not sell themselves in other
countries. Many of these products
are quite unknown in foreign markets.
Special pains should be taken to fos-
ter foreign trade in the articles which
are new and have no recognized posi-
! ton in the worlds markets. l am
confident that large markets will re-
ward well directed efforts to sell our
newer food products abroad.
Much has been said lately about
the unwillingness of the American
manufacturer to consult the tastes
of foreign consumers. We are otter
told that our foreign trade will not
grow until we make goods to suit
the foreigner. There is some truth
in these statements and some untruth

of business where the taste of the
individual consumer plays so impor
tant a part as in the grocery bust
ness. / suppose there is no othe1
line where national and local tastes

NEUTRALITY GUARD
Of NORWAY WORKS
GREAT HARDSHIPS
SMALL PAY RECEIVED BY SOL
DER AND SAILOR NOT SUFFI-
GENT TO AID MUCH IN FAM
ILY'S SUPPORT.
RY AssocIATEp PRESS.

Christiania, Norway, June 1.-THE
so-called neutrality guard which has
been maintained by Norway since the
outbreak IF the war has worked great
hardships on the families of many of
the soldiers and sailors, who have
been compelled to serve the colors.
Not only have numerous men lost
their positions in civil and public life,
owing to their prolonged absence on
military duty, but in many cases their
families have been obliged to appeal
to the county poor board for aid or
go to the poorhouse because of the
small pay received by a private or
bluejacket.
AS Norway has compulsory service
for all able-bodied men, every male
over eighteen years of age is on the
rolls of the army or navy, and even
if he has completed the peace service
fixed by the law he can, in case of
emergency, be called under arms for
any length of time. If he does not
respond to the call he will be tried
by court martial and heavily punished.
Since the beginning of the war
many of these conscripts, especially
in the navy and in the garrisons, have
served month after month, no matter
whether married or single, as there
have not been enough men to relieve
them after only short service This
means that many of them are losing
their positions as their employers
cannot keep their places open for an
indefinite length of time during their
military service. Even men employed
in the governments civil service have
suffered the same fate, as the gov
eminent, like the private employer,
cannot keep the places vacant until
the expiration of the military duty
period.
A soldier during his service is paid
very small amount-in peace times
ten cents a day, and war on duty,
such as the neutrality guard is con-
sidered, forty cents a day. This
amount is too small to support the
family at home. The result is that
many soldiers have had to allow their
debts to pile up with small prospects
of being able to pay them off when
the military service is over, or apply
to the county poor board to support
their families, and in numerous cases
families have been sent to the poor
house.
According to the Norwegian law a
person who is supported by the coun-
ty or who lives in the poor house,
loses his rights as citizen, includ-
ing the privilege of voting. One man
who was called into military service
and who refused to respond because
he knew that if he did so it meant
that his family must go to the poor
house, was tried by court martial anc
sentenced to serve nine months i'm.

ing into Mobile from Baldwin coun-
ty. On the other hand, good high
way connects Brewton, Bay Minette,
and other South Alabama towns with
Pensacola.
Baldwin county has given assuI-
ances that the road from Bay Min
cite over into Mobile county will be
constructed within the near futul (,
but it is considered probable that
this understanding will be achieved
within the next year or two.
This road, it is declared, viii be
one of the most difficult to be con-
structed in Alabama, for it will lead
through swamp and delta lands, over
creeks and marshes and will cost
hundreds of thousands of dollars. In
fact, government engineers have as
serted that the road cannot be con-
structed without a tremendous ex-
penditure. This was one of the prin-
cipal reasons that induced the For
rest Highway commission TO name
the eastern route, with Pensacola as
the terminus, as the official highway
south of Montgomery.
When the Mobile road
has been constructed, the Forrest
highway will then have two termi.
nails, one at Pensacola and the other
at Mobile. The trip of the inspecting
party today was one of the most in,
teresting of the week. Leaving An,
dalusia at $50 a. m, this morning
the party drove 40 miles to Luverne
where they were entertained at ar
elaborate barbecue and basket pic
mic. At least 500 citizens of Cren-
shaw, Covington, Montgomery and

PENSACOLA NAMED
As TERMINUS FOR
FORREST HIGHWAY
DECISION TO COME THIS WAY
HALF INDUCED BY THE FACT
THAT NO GOOD ROAD LEADS
INTO MOBILE FROM BALDWIN.

Pensacola, according to correspond
ence from Montgomery, has been
named the southern terminus of what
is known as the Forrest Highway. The
correspondence follows:
Letter From Montgomery.
Official designation of the Luverne-
ADMINISTRATION route as the For
rest Highway south of Montgomery
was made by President Richard w.
Massey of Birmingham, of the Forrest
Highway Association and the execu-
tive committee of the organization
following a four days trip over the
two proposed highways. The decision
to name the eastern way as the off
cial route of the Forrest Highway
was reached after the merits of the
two proposed highways had been con-
sidered from every angle.
The Forrest Highway, beginning al
Rome, Ga, will have its terminue al
Pensacola. The road will lead from
Rome to Birmingham and thence tc
Montgomery over the proposed Jack
son highway route. From Mont.
gomery the road will extend in e
southeasterly direction, passing
through Brantley, Luverne, Andalu.
STA and Brewton.
The decision to name Pensacola as
the southern terminus of the high.
way was largely induced by the fac
that there is at present no road lead,

the exporters of groceries to conform
to foreign tastes that already exist,
but it is also up to them to develop
new tastes, as they have done so sue
cessfully in this country"
In concluding his address, DIR. Pratt
called attention to some recent
changes in our foreign trade in food
stuffs: "One of the outstanding fea-
lures of our trade in foodstuffs is the
change in destination of our exports
to Europe. Germany, Austria, Fin
land, Turkey, are cut off. Many of
the Balkan states are cut off. Our
access to some other countries has
been rendered difficult, but on -
have increased to the allied az, ncu-
trail countries of Europe. In some
items these increases have been really
tremendous. At the same time we
have found new markets, and have
increased our sales to those countries
to which we formerly sent very small
quantities of such goods. Exports Of
foodstuffs, both raw and manufac.
tured, including food animals, in the
fiscal year 1915 amounted to over
$3.50, 100000, or about IS per cent OF
our total exports. In 1914 they were
valued at only a little over S430,-
100000, or about 18 per cent of oul
total exports. In 1918 they were
about S4O3, 100000, or about 21 pei
cent. For the present fiscal year oul
exports of foodstuffs will probably
reach one billion dollars"

The conservative press has been
criticizing the government bitterly
for this condition of affairs and has

married soldiers an addition to their

the bunny uncle. -ToOt. loot, loot

And then and there he blew such q
loud, shrill blast on his willow tree
whistle that the alligators had to put
their paws over their ears And when
they did that they had 10 let go of
bunny uncle. He had his tall silk hat
down over his ears so IL didn't matter
how loud he blew the whistle He
couldn't hear it.
"Tooti loot, Tootity- toot-toot-' he
blew on the willow whistle.
"Oh, stop. Stop" cried the hump

Come on, rpm away before the 20
lice come" said his brother. And out
from under the willow tree they both
ran, leaving Uncle Wiggily safely be-

as he hoped along home to his bunga-
