does this tell the whole story of Japanese trade expansion. Japanese exports to this country would have been much greater but for the demands made upon by the allies for munitions of and for regular articles of commerce, that did not feel the full force of the commercial invasion. We would have been commercially assaed from the other-side of the world but for the war, which served pro- tection wall effective protective tariff But the foregoing figures leave doubt why the United States is shipping gold to Japan

Local Produce Market

The most interesting thing in the To- cal produce market is the potato situ- ation. All of the local crop is off practically vanished, and the price of potatoes on the coast has taken an up jump, which is bound to make the price here boost accordingly. Potatoes are selling son the coast at S250 hun dred. To this must be added freight, icing and other charges. making the price here upwards of $3.5O 2 hundred. This cannot fail to raise the price in the valley in a few days.

CHICAGO GRAIN

CHICAGO, July 19.-Anxiety over the
 near approach of the last delivery day
 on July contracts and in regard to scarcity of supplies with which obli- gations of sellers could be fulfilled, brought about notable upturns today in prices for wheat, corn and oats Wheat closed firm at net advance of to IA cents, corn finished un- changed to Ac higher and oats gained &c to 1esc. In provisions the out
 come varied from unchanged figures to 17 cents decline Assertions that owing to excessively dry weather North Dakota would not yield more than half a crop this sea- son did a good deal to worry shorts in the wheat market. July options scared
 35 cents above Tuesdays close and Is cents up since yesterday. Corn prices ran up to new high rec 1 ords both for immediate and future deliveries.
 Unfavorable crop reports from Can
 ada and Month Dakota did much to hoist the value of oats. Fears were
 expressed, too that car shortage would
 interfere with the movement of the new crop.
 Liquidating- sales by holders of lard weakened provisions on the break,
 however. packers came to the support of the market.

LETTERS TO EDITOR
Country People Not Pleased

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 As rule, am opposed to rushing into the 'limelight" on every occasion, but the recent action of the county board of edu- cation in repudiating Professor McNeil has met with general dissatisfaction all over Jefferson county, especially among the country people.
 I have talked with men who are in terested in educational matters from all over the county, and I have not found a man who is satisfied.
 When the law was passed, taking the selection of the county superintendent of education out of the hands of the peo- pie we were told that the object was to eliminate politics, but it seems that there has been more political scheming than ever.
 Now, wish to say that have no fight to make on Professor Baker whatever, but what incentive is there for man to build up an organization, give four years of the best part of his life getting his machine oiled. tires we'll pumped up, tank full of gas, car cranked and then let the other fellow step in and ride off?
 Without the confidence that the peo- pie of this county have in Professor Mo- Neil and his interesting efforts almost day and night during the campaign the 3-mill tax amendment would have never passed.
 The rank and file of the voters of Jef. ferson county are not pleased and when the time cones, they will show it, and the political ambitions of some people may suffer. J. F. HUEY, M. D.

Many Improvements Are
 Under Way in Columbus

Columbus, Miss, March 7.-(Special) ) Many improvements are being made in Columb us, and the money now being ex- pended demonstrates conclusively that both individuals and corporations have confidence in the city and in its future growth.
 Among the most important improve ments are those being made by the Co lumbus Railway, Light and Power com pany, of which Rice T. F'ant of Mem phis is president and R. B. Claggett is general manager This company has re. gently overhauled both it's gas and cleo. tric light plants. having installed mod. ern machinery and equipment, and now the trolley car line is being extended tc the plant of the Columbus Lumber com pany, in the northeastern suburbs of the city.
 Work is soon to begin on $75, 900 higr school building. The city, more than 2 year ago, voted bonds in the sum of $50, GOO for this undertaking, but the rapit advance in the price of building materials made it impossible to erect and equir structure commensurate with the needs of the city for this amount, and an ad ditional $5 900 Is to be provided. The Cumberland Telephone and Tele graph company is expending 5000 in mod ernizing it's local exchange. The build ing is being completely overhauled ant among the improvements will be an orna mental front, new office furniture ana steam heat.
 Several stores are being remodeled fol new establishments that are soon to b, opened in the business district, while large number of new residences are il course of construction.
