CHE HAS KEPT us OUT OF WAR"

This is the face of strong courageous
patient and kindly man
Always alert to the aspirations of his fellow
man and sympathetic toward their fulfilment;
Never complacent toward the encroachments
of privilege nor tolerant of social wrong;
Always seeking to enhance the dignity of
labor and better the state of the toiler;
Never lending to the sophistry of ex-
ploitation the Establishments of expediency;
Always patient to hear and weigh to ap-
praise and analyze, and passionate to find the
way of right;
Never premature in purpose prejudced
in judgment, and never headlong in decision

THIS is THE LIFE.

The farmer is the only absolutely necessary
man on earth, the only man whose products
the race must have or perish. Wealth must
pay any price the farmer asks for his wares;
for there are no substitutes for them, no other
articles lust as good. and wealth that cannot
buy them has no value. Why is 1t therefore
that the farmer is not the world 5 aristocrat, for
tunes pampercd favorlte the plutOcrat, the
best paid worker in the world Why is 1t that,
when labor is the basis Of all wealth more Of it
does not stick to his own fingers? Why do the
middlemen the trafflckers, the handlers Of his
products. the nonproducers, the parasites make
all the notable fortunes? Why are men who
cater to debased or abnormal appetites more
prosperous than those who minister to the nor
NAL, proper needs of mankind? Why is there
more money in making some sort of intoxicant
than in making butter, more profit in selling
corn cutters, peppers, shelters than in selling
corn? In other words, why is not the farmer.

JAPAN's THRIFTY FORESIGHT.

Some figures compiled from the foreign
trade returns of Japan for the past nine
months are printed by the Philadelphia Com
mercial Museum and they pay the inter
ested observer Of trade currents for time spent
in digesting the information contained INTO
what may be termed its American significance.
The export trade Of Japan has doubled over
that of the corresponding period OF last year,
but it is in analyzing where thus increase IS
Imost marked that the American manufacturer
will find food for reflection. While the exports
of Japan to the nations OF Europe and TO the
far east, which exports are largely munltlons
and war supplies, have increased between forty
and fifty per cent, the exports to South Africa
have increased more than three hundred per
cent. those to South America one hundred and
thirty per cent. and those to, this country sew
entv-nine per cent. This can mean but one
thing. Japan is increasing her export trade to
new markets; she is becoming more versatile IN
her manufactures and more assured OF her
means of supplying demand she is rapidly
learning TO know in all its details. We have In
Japan's thrifty way of taking immediate and
wise advantage of her trade opportunities
am earnest of what world restored to
peace will strive to initiate. And all this Will
be more or less at our expense, not through a
necessarily malicious trade war but because OF
the natural force of national business effort to
regain and maintain much needed pretige.
After-war competition is certain to test abll-
ties and capacities of American trade.
