Exports of War SUPPLIES.

Secretary Redfeld of the Depart

the remarkable statement that So
called war orders constitute not
more than five per cent of our export

purpose Of minimizing our prosperity
due to war orders. may he character
ICED as nothing short of a deliberate
falsehood. During the eight months Of
the fiscal year ended February, 1916,
our total domestic exports amounted
10 s2,543, 900, 900, of which over so per
cent consisted of goods without tho
use of which modern warfare would

these exports were to the belligerents

during the eight months Immediately
preceding the European war; and
100000 worth of horses, compared
with s@.3o0,Oo0 for the eight months
preceding the war.
Five per cent of our total exports
ending February 1916 would equal
$1,000, 900. OF these two items alone
We exported s147,Ooo,00o worth, TO say

Excelsior Grange.

AS is customary at Excelsior Grange,
East Poland, Memorial exercises were
held Saturday evening. May - The
Grange was opened in form with the
worthy master, B. L. Cobb, in the
char. Officers pro tenn were j. @. Da-
Wis. steward: Mrs Annie Everett, chap
lain: Mrs. Ruth Jordan, lecturer and
F. c. Currier, gatekeeper Routine bus
mess was transacted with dispatch
and then the meeting was opened to
the public which had been invited to
join with the Grange in paying tribute
to the memory of those who gave their
lives that we might enjoy the pursuit
of liberty and prosperity. First came
a song by the choir with Miss Eva
Pulsifer at the piano and violin obll-
cato by Almon Waterhouse. Following
this was vocal solo by Mrs. Leon Nc
knight. Mrs. Mcknight has an exceed
ingly beautiful soprano voice OF great
range and her solos are always en-
ioyed. She was obliged to respond TO a
hearty encore. The worthy lecturer
then introduced Hon. Carol l.. Beedy
of Portland who had been obtained to
deliver the Memorial address. Mr..
Beedy drew an impressive picture of
the sacrifices of those men and women
in times of stress and urged his hear
ers to become willing to sacrifice for
the common good. Holding his audi
ence in the hal!oW of his hand and
swaying them as he willled, he held
the close attention of all Drawing his
pictures with corciseness Impossible
to misinterpret he concluded his adj
dress with those immortal words Of
Abraham Lincoln at Gettysburg, "Fhe
world will soon forget what we say
here; but it will never forget what
those men did here" Never was clos
er attention given a speaker at old En-
celsior and when the meeting ended
at late hour and the gathering re-
turned to their homes the name Of
Carol /. Beedy was on every tongue.
In closing the program the choir sang
once again and the Memorial exercises
Of Excelsior Grange for 1915 became
memory long to be cherished by all
who were present.
