WASHINGTON, Dec. 28.-Measures for making the most of Americas world trade opportunity are foremost in Secretary Redfield's report of the many activities of the department of commerce presented to congress. The department probably conducts more different phases of government work than any other, and while all are touched upon in the long report, meas ures for promoting foreign trade and an account of the years commercial operations stand at the top of the list.
 ''The visible balance of trade in fav- or of the United States on merchan- disc transactions for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1917, was $3.634, 450,- s05," says the report "The total of our merchandise export trade was $6,- 293,806.000 and of our import trade $2, 293,S06,000 and of our import trade $2,- S59,355, 1855. During the three months period from the close of the fiscal year to October 1 the merchandise ex- ports have been $1,319,213,6 1925. The imports SIPS, 9,97S.O17, and the net wis ible balance $5S9, ,235 eos.
 This country now holds the great est reserve of gold the world has ever. seen. It is a great economic prize. On it, as a secure base, rests our na-, tional, state, municipal, corporate, and private credits. Let it be seriously diminished and the volume of credits that we can give is thereby diminish ed also. There are but few ways in which this reserve, based on which our credits depend can be adequate ly protected from economic attack.
 
 abroad, investments abroad, sales abroad, service abroad. By one or another of these methods or by com binations of them we can keep the current of exchange so flowing that our gold reserves may resist serious diminution. In so doing we conserve our power to give credit, which is to say our power to do business on al large scale. This means employment, activity, occupation. We are becom- ing accustomed to loans abroad. We are beginning, but as yet only begin ming, to make investments abroad on any considerable scale. We are rot yet rendering services abroad on large scale, such as insurance or transportation"

"Now." said Uncle Dan. with great
earnestness, when such training does
so much good, makes better citizens and
at the same time fits q man to defend
his country, why should not Uncle Sam
furnish this training at the govern
ment's expense: The government has
the right TO call anyone 10 Serve in

man is worth nothing as soldier. In.
Gle Sam has splendid new training
camps that will soon be available for
the purpose, therefore, here is double
reason why the Chamberlain bill for
compulsory military training should be
passed AT once, so that every boy ply

not leave it for his parents to pay for.
On account of the expense, not one boy
in so can take the training now. / am
glad that you can do so. These big
crops and big prices, I find, make the
farmers rather 'cocky,' and that the
best is demanded by them"
Billie was up with the lark the next
morning, more excited and enthusiastic
than ever. He had plan. He knew
Jimmie owned a colt worth 500; that
he would make almost another 500 on
bis potatoes If they turned out well,
and that he had from his previous
savings, bought 500 Liberty bond.
Billie's plan was to have Jimmie cash
in and 90 with him. He was disap-

lack about $500 Of having enough TO
see him through. Ills up quiyerlng. he
said: I'm mighty sorry to leave jim

Uncle Dan was silent a moment or
two, then he asked Billie TO 90 down
to the orchard and get him some ap-
pies to eat On the train. While he was
gone, ii was arranged that Uncle Dan
and Mr.. and Mrs. Graham would a6-
