TAKE NOTICE

A writer for the Raleigh News and
Observer. Secretary 10. Daniels sheet
gives a three-and-a-half-column &C.
count Of the rapid Development Of
the cheese industry in the mountain
counties Of North Carolina. This in
dustry appears to nave started up in
1915, the factory output that year
being valued at $500. Last year it
totaled 10000. and this year they
expect to reach 100000. This vas

Perhaps . little tariff data would
interest the cheese producers Of Sec
Rotary Free Trade Daniels state:
During the first ten months Of the
free operation Of the Wilson-Under-
wood tariff Law. cheese imports into
this country increased 20 per cent
over the similar period under the pro-
tective policy. The war has cut the
importation down materially. but the
commercial attache Of this country
accredited to Argentina Is doing his
utmos to act az drummer for a brand
Of Argentina cheese. He wants some
one in this country to handle monthly
consignments Of 1900 pounds Of the
Argentine product
The cheesemakers Of North Caro-
lima have to dig up their share Of
our Federal taxes. and the CONNER
cial attache at Argentina gets his
salary out OF those taxes. These men
are helping to pay a deserving Demo
crat for selling a competing product
in this country. And the State Of
North Carolina is supporting a party
that believe sin giving preference to
foreigners in the American market.
The cotton manufacturers Of North
Carolina have awakened to the fall
lacy of this sort or thing. and it is
high time that the entire State did SO.

furnished OF the amount Of property
of German citizens proposed to be
taken by the government under the
measure, nor of the value Of property
in Germany owned by Americans
which that country would doubtless
take over as a matter Of retaliation.
No information could be obtained by
Mr.. Stafford as Il whether Germany
had yet taken such action, or if our
State Department were making claims
to that effect. II was palpably evil

facts upon which such important leg
