SOUTH AFRICA and
argentine PUSH TRADE
World War Has Developed Com
mercial Intercourse Between
Two Countries.

bu04lOs AlEGBs 10y mall).-A very Nj
portant commercial Intercourse has do
veloped with the last few months ba-
tween the Argentine republic and
South Africa. This rs all the, more
striking because there was not enough
ago to be worth mentioning. When Q
direct line of Japanese steamships. was
inaugurated between Yokohama and
Bueno Aires, calling at Cape Town.
the South African government sent q
trade commissioner to .Buenos Aires
and within a very short time he sue
ceeded. in inaugurating q flow of bust
ness in both directions hat n. rapidly
assuming large proportions.
h commissioner then returned to
South Africa to continue his work there
and a Just come back to Buenos
Aires again 60 s~uperVise the important
transactions which, by his initiative,
are now taking place between the two
countries. The volume of business
which these ~dransactiohs represent at
this stage already exceeds $2,500,000.
The goods now being exported to
South Africa are such as to have
aroused interest and surprise among
Afgentines. For example the South
African Union either has imported Or is
In the act OF importing 1880 tons Of
$1,500,0 900; $4,000 pairs of shoes valued
at $4,000; slaughter house by products
uch as bone meal, dried blood, stc.,
valued. at SIS, 000 leather to the value Of
more than $4,000; 10000 casks of
iinseed oil; 10000 cases of canned
meats, valued at $225, 900; locally man
ufactured chemical products, mattress
wire and between 700 and 300 tons Of
wheat. South Africa also sis buying
Argentine hard woNd railway ties.
But the trade Is not all one way.
Argentina has recently taken from
South Africa hessians to the value Of
100000, ostrich feathers, tea, lucerne
seed, wines brandy and gin, as well as
coal in considerable quantities Two car
goes Of South African coal have arrived
here within the last few days and more
ts on the way. This coal has been
thoroughly tried on tho railways and is
/ giving entire satisfaction, SO that is
probably will form one Of the princi-
pal articles of trade between the two
countries in the future. It is Of par
ticular interest to note the growth Of
Argentine industries to an extent that
permits OF the export on q
lively large scale Of manufactured
goods as boots and shoes, and semi
manufactured goods such as leather.
The market for Argentine shoes and
leather in South Africa appears to be
excellent. Already Argentine repre-
~sentattves OF these industries have yis-
tied or are visiting South Africa on bA.
half ct their factories, with s~atisfacfoey
results. ~uz1xeEssNnEB4eEsss~a-

yard and being rather nervous with the
man Of the house out, she began TO
mediate on the subject OF burglars
until she was sure some such villain
was lurking around.
A conference with the nelghbOrs re-
suited IN an ambush with bat and a
shotgun 20 surprise the bandit When
stealthy footsteps at the rear gate an
nounced that the time was ripe for
deeds OF daring a neighbor brought
down the bat full force and just missed
the supposed burglars head. Next, the
gate and the nelghbor both fell down,
pinnlng the man 10 the ground.
"Have you anything 10 say for your
self?" asked the neighbor in sternly
exalted tones.
''You bet have" hissed the burglar,
whom an electric pocket light now re-
vealed as no less than Councilman Ab-
berger.
He had considerable TO say, is the
testimony OF the helpful neighbors, and
others who congregated. He had en-
tered his home from the front door and
went 20 the back gate TO learn what
the excitement was about when he met
with the reception described.
