eminent contain hardly a sentence
about international trade. There has
never been any American provincialism
more dense than the provincialism of
certain periods of our statecraft.
The uncertainty about the political
and economic situation in international
affairs when. peace comes is the very
reason why we need an intelligent
grasp of the facts of business inter
course between nations. To-day we
think OF intense feeling between the
nations of Europe, that will persist in
| exclusion of each others commerce,
tariff wars and commercial diplomacy
designed to injure the enemy's trade
with neutrals. Internal revolution
entirely possible among the Cen
trail Powers might make the peace a
real one. The joining of so many ma
tions with the Allies may entirely
change the programme announced in
the Paris Economic Agreement. To-day
we count upon the vast economic read
! justments to follow the war as almost
inevitably lasting over decades. To or
ganize rehabilitation upon a new basis
on a stupendous scale in a short time
! is hardly out of keeping with the vast
achievements Of the belligerents dur
| ing the war. Our own entry into the
war will bring a new factor Of great
Importance into the economic develop
ments connected with the conflict and
the future.
What we can be absolutely certain
about is that international competition
will be resumed on a basis Of more skill
full trade rivalry than ever before. We
do not know how long the intense in
ternational suspicion and hatreds Of the
present will survive the war and be an
element in the political activities of the
nations affecting trade intercourse, but
we do know that our own allies will be
better prepared than ever before for
the handling Of foreign commerce. Our
position in international relationships
has been enormously improved by the
wise decision to join with the Allies
But we must not forget that all ma
tions. after the war is over, will be
commercial competitors In the worlds

so-termed lesser things would re-

the equivalent of none at all. The

The War Game puzzle is the topic
of conversation everywhere. Men,
women and children are trying to
solve it, primarily to win one of the
fifty prizes but incidentally because
of the pleasing pastime it affords. 1t
is one of the most fascinating puz-
zles ever devised, so simple that any
one can work it, yet difficult enough
to tax the skill of experts.
All inquiries regarding the contest
Will be answered in The Journal, that
all contestants may be on the same
basis. The rules are so clear and
simple that they should require no
further explanation but If contestants
desire further information, their
questions will be answered the day

The puzzle chart and rules are

of the valuable prizes.

FINE TURNIPS ARE
RAISED IN CITY

J. D. Miller, residing at 1872 East
Gregory street, yesterday brought to
The Journal office heads of fine tur-
nips which he said had been raised
in the back yard, the seeds coming
from The Journal office"
Mr.. Miller has quite a garden grow
ing out there, and takes a great deal
of pride in showing it to friends. The
turnips brought to The journal office
are only samples of a great many
more which grow in profusion in the
little back yard plot. The roots are
extra large, while the bush is healthy
and extensive, indicating that there
is very little necessity of patronizing
markets when such producing plots
as are at the Miller home are acces-
sibe for cultivation.

Why?

When you do not relish yoI~ food
it is we'll to inquire the reason why.
Your stomach may be debilitated,
your liver torpid, your bowels con-
stipated, or you may be eating too
much. Many people eat more than
they should, particularly those of
middle age or older, and those of
sedentery habits. If your lack of ap-
petite or relish for your food arises
from either of these causes, correct
your habits and take a few doses of
Chamberlain's Tablets. They will do
you good, give you a better appe-
tite and make you feel better.-Adv.

REPORTED NEGRO
BEEN MURDERED

Coroner VIII L. johnson was called
to a point in the western part of the
county yesterday on the report that
negro, who was found dead near the
road, had been murdered. After a
full inquiry, however. a certificate
was given that the black had come
to his death from natural causes.
1t was at first alleged that the
negro, whose name was Wesley Riggs
had been killed by an enemy against
whom he appeared in court some time
since. This caused Coroner Johnson
to hurry to the place, bu, this was
found to have been unsupported by
evidence which he uncovered.
