American merchants, manufacturers
and bankers are preparing for a great
export business, which they believe
the United States will enjoy. during
and after the. reconstruction period.
Export associations are being
formed all over the country: to push
the sale of our manufactured prod

Increases of importations Of tea

House Has Moods,
Says Mr.. Clark.

days the House is as placid as a duck
puddle; other times everybody seems
to have a chip on the shoulder, and
all hands are 'scrappy.' Last Monday,
for instance, there was a bill UP
which everybody favored and nobody
was against-the bill to return the
soldiers uniforms to them. Ought to
have gone through, ordinarily. in half
an hour. But that was one Of the
fretful days. They came along with
points of order and verbal amend
ments, talking and wrangling over
nothing, until it took almost the
whole day to pass the bill and every
body was pretty near plumb worn out
over nothing. / have noticed how the
House has its good days and had days
just like people: some days very
much on its dignity. others lively and
facetious. But when the House gets
sarcastic and ironical is the
time to look out for squalls"

Report on 1mportat1onS.
The National City Bank of New York
keeps it's finger mighty close to the
pulse of the importing business. In
a letter to the head of big tea
importing firm a few days ago an
official of the bank said:
Marked increase in the importation
of tea into the United States lends in
terest to the statement made by the
British tea growers that world con-
sumption of tea is now exceeding pro-
duction by reason of the reduced con-
sumption Of alcoholic liquors in many
countries of the world.
The banks figures show importa-
tons of tea into the United States in
1918 Of 151,000,000 pounds, against
103, 100000 pounds for 1917, and 49,
100000 pounds in 1909, which was the
previous high records"

employees, and such as is the general
custom in England in business and
commercial houses. There is no rea-
son whatever why the custom should
not be in vogue here, for it is, IN

one which tends to increase the eff

Value Of Tea as Beverage.
1.-THE same thing holds good in the
case of the man who, on quitting his
days work now, feels the need of a
'pick-me-up.' Indeed, the value of tea
as a beverage has SO long been recog-
nized that it would seem superfiuous
to advance any arguments in it's ia
vor. 1t is only necessary to consult
the soldiers coming from the hard
fought battleields and the trenches,
when they were given tea, steaming
hot. by the Red Cross workers. They
will tell you how they. came to long
for tea and to look for it, how it
stimulated. invigorated and refreshed
them in body and mind; that where
they felt utterly played out before,

to go in and fight everlastingly. Tea

water is bubbling hot and allowed to

OUR WAR AIMS.

The sudden appearance before a joint session Of congress on Tuesday in which President Wilson outlined a program on which peace would be made, had more than the effect of spreading consternation in congress. Fhe President has answered the public demand that the terms on which this country would make peace be pub tished and since their publication 1t @aves no doubt as to what we are Sighting for.
 The President has acted in this as in all other matters of imperial He does not vase any words and each separate aim is clearly stated. The program as outlined should meet with the approval of every red-blooded American and that it will be approved by our allies seems certain.
 Fs France and Russia, where con- siderable territory is occupied by the Germans, this has speoial significance but to all of our allies it will convey She spirit that America Is in this war to win and to do her part in bringing about conditions which ensure the smaller nations safety and the right to freedom and self-government. To little Belgium whose soil has turned red with tbe blood of its people, it will mean a new lease on life and will Inject new courage and more faith in this great free country.
 If this news is received by the Huns and their allies as an American bluff CT in anything but serious manner we feel sorry for them. America and Americans have never yet set out to do thing which has not been accom- pllshed and in this gigantic task which we have undertaken, we Can not and will not fail. More power to President Wilson and men of his stamp.
