ENORMOUS FOOD EXPORTS.

Almost three times the normal
quantity OF foodstuffs was sent out OF
the United States last year. says the
Philadelphia Commercial Museum.
The complete recorus or the ship.
ments for the first eleven months give
total OF more than 100000. OOo.
which would indicate that approx
mately Si.OO0,OOO.O0O worth OF food
left American shores during the year,
In 1913. ~ year before the war be-
gan, the exports OF food products
amounted TO SiiS.00o. 600 and in 1914.

which was influenced by the war to
Si9O. 100000. II Is In breadstuffs that
the growth has been most pronounced.
the shipments in 1915 having been
over $500, OOO.O 600, two and a half times
the value OF the 1913 shipments and
more than double the value OF those
OF 1914. Exports OF wheat. oats. corn.
barley and rye have gone ahead by
leaps and bounds since the outbreak
OF the war; wheat flour. too, has made
big jump. particularly In the last
twelve months. In meat products
there is the same story OF larger ship,
ments, only the increases have not
been so marked nor so general. and
the trade has been fluctuating. The
growth In the expectation OF fresh
beef has been little short of marvel.
GUS, the figure for 1915 being fifty
times that OF 1913. Exports OF canned
beef were twenty times larger in
1915 than In 1913. and OF picked and
other cured beef. twice as large. OF
the hog products, bacon. hams and
shoulders alone made large and con.
sistent gains. Exports OF lard and OF
neutral lard were less in 1915 than in
1913, and lard compounds and other
substitutes for lard remained practi.
oally stationary over the three-year
period. This remarkable advance in
the expectation OF food products from
the United States In the last two years
can be attributed entirely to the war
and its influence.

Mr.. BRYAN AT ST, LOUIS.


II is predicted Mr.. Bryan will raise

not il will be the first National Dem.
ocratlc Convention held In many years
where no failed TO put on u show. In.
asmuch as It is hardly probable that
Mr.. Wilson will have opposition. and
as Mr.. Bryan is utterly out OF har.
mony with President Wilson. 1, would
seem that for harmonys sake and for
the good of the party, Mr.. Bryan
should cut but small chunk OF ice
at the st. Louis convention. On this
subject the Houston Post says:
''The Washington Post OF last Sun.
day publishes special from Chicago
that is very apt to challenge the aver.
age mans belief II contains the
amazing statement that William J.
Bryan wants to be temporary chair.

vention in ST. louis and. failing In
that. he will be willing to accept the

"We say II Is difficult TO believe

Bryan's early relations with the VII.
son administration. and his later atti.
tude. his participation In the conven.
ton in any important capacity would
be SIMPLY ridiculous and impudent
provided always that Mr.. Wilson has
no opponent for the nomination.
III Mr. Wilson should be an unop
posed candidate for The nomination
Mr.. Bryan would have no business
sounding the keynote speech, nor yet
any business experimenting the
writing of the platform.
III Mr.. Wilson becomes the nominee
II will be because. the Democratic
party approves his administration. and

And so must the chairman OF the
committee on resolution be. To select
Mr. Wilson and then select a political
enemy as his spokesman would make
the convention ridiculous and even

"In our opinion every argument
upon which universal manhood suf-

its privileges and responsibilities to
women. They arc subject to the
laws, are taxed for the support OF
