,rrw YORK, Dec. 28 - United
s,tes manufacturers and exporters
,,,s increased their trade in Brazil
i otber South American countries
!. nora than 100 per cent. since the
,.,irrirc of the war, according to j..
corrar Trade Commissioner of

If Foreign and Domestic Com
.,,cs who recently returned from a
arey of the business opportunities
sth Of the equator.
.Inaeine ten large stores in one
II eity and one of these stores doing
u business than all the other nine
.nbined," declared Mr.. Sanger, "and
M will give you some idea of the
.,,ition we are in today. 1t is an am
,,ng record. We are now selling
c,rth American countries more than
|,F Of everything they import. Our
aal export trade is now counted in
gll;ons Of dollars"
The Commissioner said that with
II signing of peace treaty prac-
tsal certainty within six months or a
gar, it is not a day too soon to begin
n,kpg definite plans to meet the
.ssn competition in foreign trade that
must come almost immediately" The
ialreds of millions of dollars invest
din new factories and ships, he said,
nan that America must find fresh
alets for her enterprise and indus
|F
we need more and better direct
presentation of our manufacturers
/ the important trade centers Of
hsl and other South American
auntres" he said. This may come
lnat through taxing the fullest ad-
ansage of the new Webb Export

Pay was % years DID, a member
of the M. E. Church and a Mason
in good standing. A multiplicity of
words is unnecessary to attest the
noble qualities of this young man.
He was always a faithful and duti-
full son, ever ready and willing to do
the bidding of his parents. He was
modest and reserved in his manners,
but never surrendered his convictions
when he knew he was right. He was
devout Christian. When about
twenty years old he was at a gath
erlng of young people one evening
and discovered that some of the boys
were drinking. He said to the crowd
that he thought they had better turn
the party into a prayer meeting and
asked that some one read a chapter
in the Bible. He opened the Bible
and read chapter, then knelt down
