''Atta Boy"

Copies of newspapers from Paris con-
tain "human interest stories of the
American troops Here is a lively Incl
dent written by reporter for L'Intran-
sigeant.
"'Atta boy! alta boy'
''This cry was heard today by Parisians
who acclaimed Gen. Pershing and his
vigorous stalwarts.
'1t will soon be popular with us-this
American cry-and on our front it will
soon be the war cry of the American
troops
"Atta boy!' is a simple popular con-
traction for That's the boyP which means
Here is the man for the situation
cit is by this cry that the crowd in
New York or in San Francisco encour-
ages its athletes, cyclists and baseball
players 1t is this cry which will soon
reach the front lines to be held by the
great and brave American soldiers, who
are Away on the job.'
One after another, Congress is giving
up its rights. 1t can still appropriate
money, call itself Congress, talk, and
draw salaries. Nobody will, during this
administration, point to that aggregation
and exclaim "Atta Boy, Alta Boy"

DON'T LOSE YOUR PUNCH

If you feel a growing dissatisfaction
with life and i'll health seems to threat
en- you without the symptoms of any
specific disease showing, your nerves
are probably undernourished because
your blood is thin.
Take moment to examine into your
own case. Have you lost the ability
to make Q quick decision and take
prompt action whenever necessary or
doyou worry and hesitate in indecision
and consume an undue amount of time
over things that you used to do quickly?
Are you prematurely old?
Don't let the arteries in your brain
get hard. Don't let thin blood starve
your nervous system. Proper diet for
the first and a good tonic, DIR. Will
liams' Pink Pills, for the second are
what you need.
If you have any nervous troubles
write today to the DR.. Williams Medi-
cine Co., Schenectady, N. Y, for their

Harvesters To Be Exempted.

WASHINGTON, Aug. Provision to
protect harvesting from shortage of
hands due to the mobilization of the Ma
ton Army has been made by the Govern
ment in regulations now going out to dis
trict exemption boards. Men needed in
the fields to complete harvesting will be
permitted to remain at work until need
for them passes, when they will Join the
colors. Local boards, because of their
knowledge of local crop conditions, will
determine what men are necessary in this
class Application for delay on this
ground may be submitted to the district
boards. The papers of harvest hands will
be returned by the district board, to the
local board, where selection will be made.
Applications should be made to the

At present water rates to Boston are
about $3.50 per ton, though few or no
time contracts have been placed on this
basis and the market is highly sensitive
Today's spot price is now much more IA
vorable than last winter although still
much above the price before the war,
which was well under S1OO to Boston
with corresponding rates to ports east
and west of Boston.
We think the only safe course for New
England consumers to pursue is to pur-
chase coal on a considerable scale during
the next ninety days so that before the
end of October they may be sure to have
on hand liberal supply In no other
way can we be sure to keep warm and to
keep our industries going next winter

Trade After the War.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 8. Especial CORE
spondence0 The British Trade Corpora
ton, with capital stock of $50, 600, 600,
par value $50, has been organized to push
British trade after the war A first issue
of 100, 600 shares has already been sub
scribed at par, and a second offering of
1900 shares is now being gobbled up.
The organization of this company was
the result of recommendations of the de-
partmental committee of the British
Board of Trade appointed to consider
the best means of meeting needs of Brit
ish firms after the war, as regards finan-
cial facilities for trade" The directorate
of this company includes prominent busi-
ness men and capitalists, and it proposes
to provide financial facilities covering
longer peEods than ordinarily given by
bankers, and to assist in opening up new
channels for enterprise.
The opportunities to be found in South
and Central America will receive the
earnest consideration of this new organi-
zatlon with view to capturing as much
OF Germany's lost trade in those markets
as possible. These countries annually
purchase from other countries about $780,
000, 600 worth of manufactured goods.
and sellto them 81, 200, 900, OOO principally
raw materials and foods. 1t is said that
Germany's share of this rich trade, prior
to the war, was 1897, 1000, 600 Our trade
with these countries in 1914 totaIed S4O4, =
50O,00 of which S24l, 900, 900 was i'm
ports. This year it reached nearly $780,.
600, 900, of which $40, 900, 900 was i'm
ports. Still we made an appreciate in
crease in our sales to them, so apprecia-
Bile, in fact, that the Germans refer to us
Yankee vultures" who are grabbing
the trade of South America"
While it is true that our increased trade
with Latin America is due entirely to
conditions brought on by the war, there
is possibility of holding a great deal of
1t after the war if we keep awake. The
Administration has numerous agencies at
hand to make study of the situation
and to arouse American business men to
the Importance of "consolidating'' for
that purpose. The British Government
and British business are alive to the needs
of the future, and Germany is training
for the commercial struggle when the re-
strictions of war have been removed.
What are we doing in that direction? The
tariff commission is circularizing inpor-
tiers of foreign goods with idle questions;
the Federal Trade Commission is upset.
ting business generally; the Department
of Commerce, from the auroral Redfield
to the black janitor are wholly immersed
IN the export control work, and most of
our business men concern themselves al
together with financing current needs It
is to be hoped that the German charac-
terization of us will prove to be without
merit. A "vulture" gorges himself and
then goes to sleep

Newfoundland Needs Flour.

A shortage of Al, 900 barrels in flour i'm
ports to this colony, as compared with
the normal, is shown at the end of the
seventh month of the present year. If
this rate is continued the shortage for
the year will be 1900 barrels and the
supply during the long winter will be
scanty.
The food situation is made somewhat
more hopeful by the fact that an enor-
mously increased acreage of potatoes has
been grown in Newfoundland this year.
1t is expected that the new food control
board will soon announce measures for
the regulation of the food supply.
