OUR MOST GLORIOUS FOURTH.

Were there any object lessons in
the most remarkable Fourth of July
demonstration since the Declaration
of independence was signed? All the
papers have dwelt ON the patriotic ele-
mentS of the universal celebration
and on the meanings of its bearings
on the prosecution of the war, but
none have so far drawn any infer
ences from it as to the trade after
the war.
Never a firm or salesman who fail
ed to appreciate the value of intimate
acquaintance with customers. Some
of the biggest assets of many men
have been their wide acquaintance
OF course, it takes something more
than acquaintance to make a good
business man, but given acquaintance
with the right people, the right man
can soon develop close and profitable
business relationships.
Millions of Americans, after the
war. will have a knowledge of Euro
pean customs and manners which
bright ones among them will inciden-
tally acquire business knowledge
heretofore denied to them. They will
want to utilize it when they come.
There is all the difference In the
world between doing business with
foreign trade has been largely con-
fined to what the European, Asiatic
or South American merchant must
have, or could get nowhere else. That
was because we did not understand
and did not cultivate the outsider;
there was too much money to be made
by exploitation of fellow citizens TO
make real efforts to cut a respectable
figure in foreign trade circles.
An illustration of this unwarrantei
the most successful makers of mems
necessities in this country which did
large South American business, be-
cause it made the best goods, at the
highest price, in it's particular line.
Orders increased each year and pay

Mnan of it, had ever been to either
Rio Janeiro or Buenos Aires, but
when the suggestion was made that
an officer of the company go and see
these good customers, the treasurer
did go and went via Liverpool. When
he came back he had a brilliant story
to tell of what he learned and that
South American business quadrupled
in a single year because of that visit.
This neglect or worse, has been
characteristic of our business reIa-
lions with foreign customers. New
er once have we made an effort to
study the wants of a possible great
clientele and cater thereto.

The Silver Tea given at the home
of Mrs. Glen Baker Tuesday after

affairs of the season. Mrs Rule of

Boys in Camp" Mrs. R. e. Oyerman
read a number of letters from her
brother, who has been wounded and
is now in a French hospital. Instrl-

of other special readings.

RICE GROWERS
MUST BE CAUTIOUS
LARGER CAPACITY PUMPS AS
WELL AS MORE PUMPING STA
TONS ARE NEEDED FROM
YEAR TO YEAR.

Government reports issued last
week on the crop conditions of Ark
ansas state that much rice has been
lost through the inability of the grow
ers to properly irrigate their fields.
There will be more and more of this
as the years pass, according to Joe
Lyons, of the Southwestern Supply
Company unless the rice men use
intelligence in the preparation of
their crops, and anticipate difficulties,
instead of dealing with them as they
arise.
"The trouble with most of the grow
ers that have lost acreage this year"
states Mr.. Lyons, "is that they have
endeavored to cultivate the same acre
age, or more, this year with the IA
cilities they used last season. They
have found this to be Inadequate
when it is too late, for they were un-
able to get water over their entire
field in time
"The first trouble is in the men
who sell engines to the rice growers.
They guarantee things that are en-
tirely out of reason and they will not
come up to specifications. They al
so sell engines that are too small for
the pump to be used land this, of
course gives an inadequate water
supply.
Another trouble is that many rice
growers experimental with electric
power this year. There is nothing
wrong with electric power or electric
motors, but fully 80 per cent of those
who went in for this kind of power
purchased motors that were too
small and they have burned out.
There are few rice farms that are
being successfully operated with this
power, but they are owned by men
who purchasd motors that are capa-
BILE of carrying about one-third more
load than their anticipated needs.
"Still another difficulty has been
the water supply itself. Many grow
ers delayed sinking new wells, plant
ing their crops on the. anticipation
of new wells that were being sunk,
and these were dry holes. In other
places wells caved in, and just one
thing after another has taken place
until the rice grower has had much
trouble. Another difficulty is that
there are now SO many wells in prac-
tically the same strata of water that
when all the pumps are going the
wells just naturally do not supply the
water they once did. The water is
there all right, but it Will take heavier
pumps to get it.
81 look for the growers to profit by
their experiences of this year and
next to put in either larger pumps or
assign less area to the smaller
ones. There is no question about
the rice industry. 1t is here to stav
and will be increased in area each
year, but the growers must pay more
attention to their facilities for get
ting water than they have in the
past"

lose any of that good will,
We stand for Life, Liberty and the

The Orient has learned much That
world, made fit to live in, and to stay
fit, can appaly to business the princi-
pies for which it is fighting.
There has never been a great war
which was not followed by a terrific
business boom. It is logic to con-
clude that the greatest war of his
tory will be followed by the greatest
trade developments. Selfishness has
had a tremendous setback in the sac
rifices necessitated by war. The world
is ready to approach the trade situa-
ton, after the war, in the unseltish
spirit in which thought it. Business
can be put upon a higher plane than
it has ever occupied, and the bust
ness men of the world with it.

THE RIGHT KIND
OF CITIZENSHIP
Miss Lucy Diverty Interprcts the
Christian Endeavor Topic for
This Sunday.

Topic: Christian Citizenship writ.
ten by Miss Lucy Diverty, member OF
Bethany Baptist Society and recording
secretary of the City Union.
In considering this topic we are re-
minded of certain verses OF Scripture
When Christ was asked the greatest
commandment in the law, he said" hou
shalt love the Lord thy God with all
thy heart, with all thy mind and WITH
all thv soul" and then followed 'and the
second is like unto the first Thou shalt
love thy neighbor as thyselt. Also oil
the passage known rs the Golden hule;
ssWhatsoever We would that men would
do unto vou. do We even so unto them.
II seems 10 the writer that the basis
of all true citizenship is Christianitys d
of III thr e req it's OF Chri ii nltv.
Faith. Hope and Love, we are told in Pauls
writing TO the Corinthians that Love is
the greatest OF these.
In making His command God does
not ask OF us a half-hearted love or even
a love of the heart only--but three
fold love-body, mind and soul
God presupposes that each of one us
shall have certain love for self. This
love, however, is not the love that makes
us self-centred or the kind of self-love
that makes us selfish; it Is rather the love
that makes us self-less, that takes us out
of ourselves and makes us want to do for
others We notice also in this second
commandment that we are told to love
our neighbor-now who is our neighbor?
Is he only he who has been kind to us, or,
rather is not every man our neighbor?
Did not Christ, when He died on the
Gross. die that not only those who loved
Him might inherit eternal life but also
those who had BETRAYED Him into the
hands of the enemy?
The world today, possibly more than
ever, demands of us a life. It demands
that that life shall so lose itself that IL
NAV find itself. 1t demands the little
deeds of kindness that shall make this
land of ours an Eden for our neigbor.
Let us then as Christian Endeavorers,
be also Christian citizens, endeavorlng &
IN all that we do to do as we would have
done unto us. Let us then, as Endeavorers,
Let our light so shine before men that they
nay see our good works and glonfy our
Father Which IS in heaven.
Next Sundays topic will be written
by Miss Chisakossky, Polish Mission
Worker of this city.
Ask yourself the question, what kind
of citizen am 1? If not the citizen who
loves the things that are right and good
and desires the best for your fellowman
then you are not the right kind of a citizen
OF course, the Christian should be in
terested in politics and it should be the
Christians aim to make politics clean,
also to see that the best type Of men are
placed in authority.
Citizens, Endeavorers, make Christ
your King and join the happy throng.
Because of present conditions we
cannot definitely decide when our fall
rally viii be held, but we hope it may

The snowy white, cream tally Is made
