womanhood there will be need for a
higher standard of intelligence. skill and
wisdom for the work of life and for the
luties and responsibilities of citizenship
than we have ever yet attained. Our
schools must now be so sustained and
improved as to enable them better to
prepare our boys and girls for life and
work in the new age which will follow
the close of the war and the coming of
peace. No boys and girls must now be
neglected or exploited for selfish ends.
In all this probably no others can be
quite so helpful as the club women of

them that in all women's clubs this
should be made a subject of discussion

Worlds Chief Coffee Market

". E. AuSnlnDauSh In LeSlteS
 The people of the United States are the largest consumers of coffee in the world, the bulk of our supply coming from Latin-America. Of the TAT, 900, GOO pounds of coffee exported from that ter rltAy in 1912 our country bought 3S5,- @U,N3 pounds. During the same period our purchases from Europe amounted to S9,O0O000 pounds, of which Belgium shipped 2b,0OO0OO pounds, all of which came from her African possessions, while we ob- tained S1,600,000 pounds of coffee from Gen. tral America and the West Indies and 100000 more pounds-from Asiatic coun- tries.
 The European war brought about a re- markable development in the coffee trade with this country, for in 1916 European shipments of coffee to our shores dropped to less than S0O,000 pounds, our direct purchases from Latin-America and the West Indies reaching the enormous total of 1,156. GOO, 000 pounds. ,Re-exports of cof- fee which in 1912 amounted to less than 4.5o00o0 pounds were nearly 7o.oo0, 600 pounds in 1916.
 Prior to the trouble in Europe, Hamburg and Havre were the two great coffee markets of the world both receiving goods from the growers of all the world, and storing them in wonderful ware houses to be re-exported according to trade requirements. Today both these markets are totally eliminated and 1t IS within our power to dominate the coffee trade of the future.
 Conditions for this are ideal Tn the first place no duty Is charged on coffee imported into the United States Secondly we are well situated geogra phically to become the distributing center for this staple for the western hemisphere and should be the middlemen for this line for the bean grown in South and Central America and the West Indies. Further more our larger ports have many mer- chants handling this article exclusively.
