= The highest point in his teachings
are reached in the chapter, that opens
with no condemnation and closes with
the assurances that there is no separa-

who are in Christ Jesus. from which
our lesson has been selected. 1t is

These are. first, the presence of con-
certed action among the foreign COM
petitors of American exporters; sec
ond, the probable effect of similar ac-
ton by American manufacturers in
foreign trade, including it's possible
disadvantages to domestic consumers
and smaller competitors: and, third,
the effect of the present laws of this
country upon such cooperation on the
part of American manufacturers"
1t is apparent, the report sets forth,
that the country's organization for ex-
port trade must be strengthened If it's
manufacturers and producers are to
compete on more equal terms in the
worlds commerce. OF possible dang
ers to American consumers it says:
Must Cooperate For Export Trade.
THE commission believes that the
advantages to be gained by effective
cooperation in foreign markets need
not entail any sacrifice of the firmly
established policy of this country in
regard to the maintenance of fair com
petitive conditions and the prohibition
OF monopolistic control within the
United States At the same time CO.
operation for export trade will enable
the exporting manufacturer to realize
an increased return for his products
along whit decreased costs through
larger scale production, and the coun-
try will enjoy greater industrial sta
bility resulting from a broader mar
ket."
The present laws, the report says, in
many cases as they stand operate to
prevent formation of cooperative org
anizations for export trade Changes
must be made, it says, to relieve the
manufacturer of even doubt as to their
application in foreign trade organiza-
ton, but leaving them as at present To
protect the domestic consumer against
combinations to control prices.
The report takes up competitive con-
ditions in most of the countries of the
world, devotes chapter to compe-
ton in South America gives competi.
tive conditions in particular industries
and carries a mass of tables and statis-
teal data concerning trade conditions
everywhere.

Sharp Competition Will Not
Follow Soon After the War

report, "the manufacturers and pro-
ducers of the belligerent countries will
take effective measures to regain their
former trade. 1t is likely, however,
that some time will pass after the
close of the war before they will be
able to exert their normal competitive
power. Much capital, including large
stocks of material, will be needed to
restore the wasteages of war. For
some time, also, after peace is declar-
ed their cost of manufacture are likely
to be higher in many lines of industry
than before the war, due to increased
costs of raw material, increased taxes
and possibly higher wages.
Foreign Competition to Be Keen.
I'm their struggle to regain their
former trade such foreign manufac-
turers and producers may be expected
to fully utilize their highly efficient
organizations for the promotion ana
handling of trade beyond their borders,
even foregoing profits or taking very
low profit till their costs again become
normal and they have re-established
their trade. Hence, competition from
foreign industrial combinations, may
be even sharper than before the war.
The commission does not consider
cooperation as the most important fac
tor in foreign trade, but it considers i
an important and necessary element in
any effective plan.
Three important considerations" il
says, 'are involved in this problem.

WASHINGTON. Dec. Ain the most
comprehensive review of foreign trade
conditions ever prepared by any gov
ernmental agency, the Federal Trade
Commission today expressed opinion
that the much discussed after-the-war
commercial competition from Europe
will not be likely to come for some
time after the conclusion of peace.
High cost of raw materials, in
creased taxes, probably higher wages,
TO say nothing of the capital and stocks
Of material necessary to repair the
wasteage of war, the report says, ar
expected to delay the full power OF
European competition until it regains
its normal state
Laws to put the American exporter
on footing with his foreign rival by
authorization of collective foreign
selling agencies are recommended. A
brief summary of the report made
public las May, while it still was in
complete, recommended such legisla-
ton and was followed by introduction
of the Webb Bill which still awaits
action and has the endorsement of the
administration.
In studying the export situation, the
Trade Commission, it is declared, has
tried to take the problem in its broad
historical aspect, considering the
present war as temporary interlude
the permanent inuuence of which it is
difficult to estimate
1T is frequently asserted" says the

People often wonder why the Springfield Business College is SO large when there are so many business colleges. The answer is plain. It has the largest, best prepared, and most experienced faculty; it's courses of study are the best; it uses up-to-date sys- tems in every department; it's telegraph school is approved by the railroads which give it's stu dents preference; it teaches the Gregg shorthand which is taught is more schools and studied by more pupils than all others con- bined; it also teaches the steno- type, the wonderful new system of machine shorthand; it's sys- tenn of bookkeeping is not excell- ed; it never gives a contract it does not fulfill; it's graduates are in the greatest demand by large firms; it has fewer dis. satisfied patrons than any other business college in t h s section; it's graduates are life members of the employment, and are entitled to service as long as needed. Finally. it gives its pupils more for their money than they can get elsewhere. These reasons are sufficient.

Charleston Oil and Ga s C o m p any
 Is Orga anized d
Will Take Leases and Drill in
 Charleston Vicinity.

Several of the most prominent business men of Charleston backed their belief and talk that there is abundant oil and gas in this immediate vicinity by meet ing in J. L. Goodbar's office Tuesday night and forming an oil and gas association and put ting money into it. Those pres ent were Eugene Bonds, J. E. Schloesser, R, c. Garden, w. R. Brotherton, J. s. Smith, M. C.. Brown, J. l.. GoOdbar, C. J. Shouweiler, and J. A. Poteet. Others who took stock in the association but were not present at the meeting are: Theo and N. T. Minden, Joe Yunker, M. M. Classen and Mrs. Clara C. Good bar.
 J. l.. Goodbar was elected chairman. C. J. Shouweiler, sec retary-trea w. R. Brother ton, trustee; and J. E. Schloes- ser, manager. Messrs. Goodbar and Brotherton are employed to take the leases.
 It is the purpose of the asso- citation to ascertain whether or not there is gas and oil here, and if there is, to develop it. The organization will remain an association until sufficient acre age has been leased and a geolo- gist has made a thorough sur vey of the same, when a com- pany will be formed, incorporat- ed and stock sold for drilling.
 Messrs. Goodbar and Brother ton will begin taking leases on Saturday of the current week and expect to have the required acreage within two weeks. If this is accomplished drilling will begin within a very short time. It is generally believed that both oil and gas abound beneath us and this belief is backed geo. graphically. Big companies have been sufficiently interested in this section to warrant them in sending geologists here to do extensive serveying. w h { these geologists found, of course, is not for us to know. But this local company will learn, and if there is gas or oil, or both. here it will develop it.-Charleston Express.

HAMMoNp,s AMAZING SECRETS

Although popular periodicals have
devoted much attention to the magi-
cal experiments Of John Hayes Ham
mond, Jr., the public has had natural
misgivings. Many claims of radio CON
troll Of projectiles have come to naught
the last few years, But the inclusion
OF an item Of $375,000 in the fortifica-
| ton bill for the acquisition Of Ham
mond's patents, on recommendation of
experts Of the coast artillery, under
whose eyes Hammond has experiment
ed for two years, has tendency to
dispel skepticism. There are 1913 pat
ents in all and Hammond, it is under
stood, will devote his time without
further charge to supervising the in
stallation Of his devices.
Hammond's chief feat is propelling
from a protected station on the shore
a boat carrying a torpedo at speed
Of fifty miles an hour by radio CON
troll and hurting it at a battIeship.
The speed furnishes ample protection
from gunfre. He has a secret that
precludes counter-influence on his radio
control. In repeated experiments the
torpedo has been hurled against tar
gets at a distance of twenty-eight
miles from shore. He has also exer-
cised the radio control from an aero
plane at an altitude Of one mile and
is confident that he can quadruple
that altitude. The radio direction is
more accurate than gunfire, for he has
hit with his torpedo a bamboo rod an
inch in diameter, standing upright at
distance of three and half miles,
ten times out Of fifteen. Among nu-
merous other secrets he offers to the
government is a method Of preventing
theft Of wireless messages, which
would have great commercial as well
as military value.
The inventor is but 26 years old and
has spent eight years solving the radio
problem, which has baffled the great
est scientists of the world. But he
has been more fortunate than the run
Of inventors, in that his wealthy father
has believed in him and advanced
$300000 for conducting the expert
ments. The Appropriation is not ex
,essive and the country is fortunate
N acquiring exclusive knowledge Of
such a revolutionary invention, even
.hough some subsequent inventor may
levise ways of impairing its effective
less.-Brattleboro Reformer.
