Producers of zine and manufacturers
of zinc poduets are among those very
numerous people who have reaped large
profits from the demand for zine need
ed for the European war. In 1913 our
exports Of zine and zinc manufactures
amounted to only a little more than
sl,000,O00. In 1915 the exports amount
ed to $50, SOC, 900, OF an increase of
more than 1900 per cent. Laborers in
zine mines, in smelters, and in facto-
ries have reaped their share of profits.
When they read the statistics present
ed by the Department of Commerce
they can have no doubt as to the

Farmers are the only persons who
raise horses and mules for sale. They
have been the chief benefciaries of the
enormously increased demand for
horses from foreign countries on ae-
count of the war. They will be inter
ested in knowing that exports of
horses and mules for the year 1915
amounted to Sis, GOO, 900 as compared
with S., 900 in 1913, the last cal
endar year which was not affected by
the war conditions. This was an in
crease of 2200 per cent. The demand
for horses and mules for the battle
fields of Europe not only gave the
farmers a large profit IN the horses and
mules they had to sell, but increased
the value of the animals that remained.
Farmers as well as munition manufac-
turers have been beneiciaries of the
war orders.

suit of ruling by the executive committee
