GINSENG MARKET IN CHINA
Depression In Business Reported Past
Year, Sale of the Root Being
Much Below Normal.

The market for ginseng In Hong
kong and the China field generally
is depressed. and dealers look for lit
tie revival in the trade until well to-
ward Chinese New Year. Usually
there is q quickening in the trade as
cool weather comes on, but so far the
past year, and in spite of the high ex-
change value of silver which ought TO
stimulate the trade. the sale of the
root has been much below normal.
says Consul General George f. An
dersOn, Hongkong. Arrivals have been
below normal and the demand has
not kept pace with the supply. An auc-
ton of a lot of American root on con-
signment recently brought fair prices.
Two days later a similar lot Of as good
if not better root sold for little more
than half the price brought by the first
lot, and private sales made later were
on a still lower level. Uncertain po-
litical conditions in the interior of
China are given as the chief reason
for the present slump in demand, but
uncertain financial conditions due to
the export of silver and copper coin
age from the provinces as well as the
existence of piracy and other disorders
in some districts have also had ma
terial influence.
Sales have been irregular and the
market may improve at any time. The
root on hand of course will get the
benefit of the Improvement, while that
held in the United States will probably
arrive too late to secure full returns.
The ginseng business and all similar
lines of trade in China are in an I'm
certain state and little reliance can
be placed upon the continuance of any
conditions.

WHY NOT IN CRYSTAL FALLS?
Last weeks Bessemer Herald told
of the removal of the telephone poles
from the main street OF that city. The
action was brought about after long
fight between the city council and the
telephone company in which the city
authorities won
Crystal Falls has about as insight
ly a lot of poles along its main street
as any place we know of. The poles
are an actual nuisance In this place
for the reason that they obscure the
view of the court house on the north
side OF the street
Why ought Crystal Falls tolerate
this nuisance? II should be one of the
objects OF the new commission TO get
those poles of the main street. We
do not advocate any crusade Just
suggest that the commission take up
the matter with the telephone com
pany and arrange for the removal OF
the poles at some future data date
when the city can at the same time
remove the light poles that It main
talns on the south side OF the street
We believe that this can be accom-
plished Will you try to bring II
about, gentlemen?

PEACE.

We all want peace. Yes, but only
such a peace as will prove US true to
our soldier dead. Would the boys
who gave up their lives agree to an
armistice that will leave Germany a
breathing spell to kill and MAIN more?
The living have duty to perform in
order to keep faith with their dead.
That duty is to insist upon the right
kind Of peace, the peace that means
a lasting peace. the peace our dead
died for.
We had the same clamor for peace
in the last year Of the Civil War when
the Campbell committee met Presi-
dent Lincoln on a boat on the James
river. There was just as great a
sentiment for the ending Of the
slaughter then as there is now, II not
a greater one. 1t was the stout hearts
OF the nation that stood like stone
wall and demanded Union" which, is
the equivalent now OF an obliterated
autocracy
Is there a person living today who
thinks that the granting OF peace at
that time would have been a good
thing--even among those who fought
for the South. Unconditional surren-
der was hut n short way off tust as Ii
is in our case II may take year; II
may take more. but II Is coming. and
IL we are to be true to our dead. the
only peace we will accept is the un-
conditional surrender of Germany's
war lords OF their power to ever again
disturb the peace OF the world.

that could be dug up TO fitly describe
the lack OF enthusiasm which our
neighbors brought out on the occasion.

old, pro-German community dele
cation came over from Iron River
with a mechanical calliope In the back
OF rig and several human calliopes
In the front. They we're warned that
their enthusiasm was running away
with their better sense. but they re-
fused TO listen. Before they finished
their performances. however, authen-
tic information arrived to the effect
that the peace message had been al
together distorted; that peace was far
away, so our Iron River enthusiasts
skunk back home with their enthus-
iasm dampened and their calliope un-
der the soft pedal attachment, while
our enthusiasts down in Dickinson
county who lambasted US fearfully
over the wires, marched back home
with nightshirts folded up and out
or sight. No, friends; Crystal Falls
isn't pro-German nor is 1t less enthus-
iastic or less interested in peace than
are any OF its neighbors. We do, how
ever, demand the right kind OF peace,
the peace that means the wiping out
OF militaristic menace. We won't eel
citrate until we get that kind Of a
peace. When we do get II there1l be
something doing here, don't worry
about that. We hope that our Iron
River enthusiasts will be as live then
as they were last Sunday when they
violated the gasless Sunday decree on
wild goose errand. for we'll want
them with, calliope and all.

WHEN NAPOLEAN MADE PEACE
WITH THE CAR.

Few peace conferences have been
more dramatic than that one which
was participated in by only two men
Napoleon and Gear Alexander of
Russia.
Napoleon had defeated Alexander
in fair fight, says Charles whitley,
in Political Portraits, and ne meant
to get all the advantage he could of
the victory. The necessary result OF
his amazing triumph at Friedland
was peace. Harboring no resentment
agaist his beaten foe, he resolved to
turn the new friendship to the best
account. In 1907 he had but one end
and one aim-to achieve a general
peace by the conquest of England
He might, for the moment, be engag-
cd with >ther countries; but every
march he made, every battle he en-
engaged in, were but steps upon the
same road. England was the enemy
and must be destroyed.
A master of all the arts of flat
terry and cajolery, Napoleon had no
difficulty in outwitting Alexander. He
told him tales of victories won in the
field, of the vast ambitions which
he cherished of universal dominion.
Alexander saw himself for the mo-
ment proud sharer with Napoleon in
the sovereignty of the world.
The setting of the stage was wor-
thy the impassioned drama itself.
Upon raft in the Niemen they met.
Garlands of flowers hid the baroness
of the walls, and everywhere the
monograms of Napoleon and Alex
ander We're seen interlaced. And, for
the first time, in his life, Napoleon
found himself received without dis
dain end without rancor by an auto
crat whom yesterday he was fight
ing. With single phrase the Car
laid what seemed solid foundation
for their friendship:
81 hate the English as much as
you do"
"Then,' said Napoleon, "peacc is
made"

Five Months Growth.

Inc one year, out of practically
nothing, a system has been built up
whereby the whole program of Home
Service is working, and although w
rank Parsons, Director General, and
his staff, do not consider it perfect
ed, they feel that the foundations
have been all laid for a work which
will become the great civilian contri-
button to the winning of the war. 1t
is their hope that through their eff
forts the families of men in service
will be, in many cases, better off
after the war than before, and in nc
case shall the influences of mobiliza-
ton, or the actual toll of fighting
bear too heavily on folks at home
for lack of friendliness and help.
