British trade associations are de- manding wide measures as an aid to extension of British foreign commerce after the war. A summary that came to the department of commerce from Commercial Attache Baldwin at Lon don shows that one of the main things trade interests ask is a moratorium after the declaration of peace, that British firms may collect debts due by enemy firms before paying their own bills in enemy countries. Legisla- tion is asked to provide that after the war consular certificates of origin be required with goods imported to pre- went importation of enemy goods through neutral or allied countries - Farm and Ranch.

menaces to temperance in the state, the "locker" and the "social" club, in which liquor has in the past been dis pensed in defiance of all prohibition Legislation, will find it more profitable to close than to remain open.
 In 1900 farm land in the United States, taking it as a whole, was esti- mated by the government to be of an average value of $15.57 an acre. To- day the same land is valued-under the same system-at $45.55 an acre.
 In neither estimate have the improve ments been considered; the increase concerns the land only. In 1910 the value of an acre was estimated at S32.49 and a year ago at $40S5. It is apparent, therefore, that the in- crease has been steady and consistent.
 After being closed to traffic for seven months the Panama Canal was reopened on April 15, 15 ships mak-

 Juan through the canal and the first
 Pacific Mail ship to use the water
 way. The deepest draft of the yes sels making the transit during these days, states the Panama Canal Record
 m its April 19 issue, was 2S.3 feet. 1 No unusual incidents marked the re- opening of the canal.

Do You Know What a Chuck Hole
Club Is?

Farm and Fireside gives the answer to
this question. 1t says;
What is a chuck hole club? 1t con-
sists of four or five men or boys one of
whom has an automobile. Each member
provides himself with a pick, shovel, OF
spade; they climb into the car and fill
every chuck hole, bad bridge approach
and any other bad spot in their neigh
borhood that does not require the work
of a regular road gang.
Each member agrees to fill at least
one chuck hole a month, and to encour-
age Others to help improve the roads.
Apparently there is nothing about the
scheme which will not bear transplanting
to any locality that is interested in bet
ter roads"
