Under the slogan Every School q
Red Cross Auxiliary and Center fol
National Service" the Junior Red
Cross has perfected plans for the en-
rollment of every school child in the
United States as a member Of Red

en- the opportunity to carry on author
lied Red Cross work by forming q
School Auxiliary, upon the payment
of twenty-five cents membership fee
for each pupil enrolled in the school
or by pledge Of satisfactory service
in Red Cross work. 1t is the only
agency which is approved by school
authorities to enlist the children In

quested by the United States Food
Administration and by the War Saw
ings Stamp Committee, Of which

classes and such authorized educa-
tional centers as may be properly Or
ganized under the supervision of the
local representatives Of the Red Cross

rolled in School Auxiliary is entitled

considered regular member Of the
Red Cross.

STARTING TRADE
 WITH ARGENTINA
Fly HOLLAND

New York, October 13-(Special.) .)-Wher Patrick Anderson Valentine, who was long associated in important executive relation with the late Phil D. Armour oi Chicago. went to Argentina some 20 years ago with intent to purchase or lease large cattle ranches so that the Impending danger to our beef supply might be overcome by the raising of cattle in Argentina and the shipping of the carcases tos-the United States, he found there country which had com paratively small trade relations with the United States.
 The enterprise which MT. Valentine un- dertook would of itself not have great. ly increased these trade relations aI- though he was persuaded that if Ameri- can manufacturers realized the oppor- tunity in Argentina and if only reas- onable amount of shipping could be se- cured we could gain some parts of the trade which Germany and Great Britain possessed.

Grace & Co, and the manager of the company house in Val paraiso, was summoned to the United States some 20 years ago he discovered that the speediest way to make the jour- ney was. first, by taking the railroad which surmounts the Andes mountains,

 Eyre was able to reach New York at least 10 days sooner than he would have been able to do had he travelled from Chilli to Panama, crossed the Panama lsthmus by railroad, and then taken the steamer. for New York sJpon his er-, rival in New York MT. Eyre said that while the opportunities for large trade between Argentina and the United States were very great and while we were im- porting hides and other material from that country, sending almost nothing back, nevertheless as long as it required cross-continent Hallway journey and then steamship passage to England. thence by English steamer to the United States, it would not be possible for this country to gain any considerable trade

EXTRAORDINARY CHANGE

In 1917 Argentina bought in the United States and imported commodities of the money value of little over sl33.yd0, ,OO0. This was $50,00o,000 more than Argentina bought in Great Britain. although be- fore the war Argentina furnished the greatest market for the products of Great Britain. Only four years earlier the United States stood no more than third, Great Britain and Germany exceeding us in the money value of exports to Argentina. It has not been a one-sided international trade. for in 1917 the United States bought in Argentina commodities of the money value of nearly. yi56 GJO, eco. There was, therefore. trade balance irs Argentina of 0o0000.000. We even passed Great Britain in our purchases of Argentina commodities and our trade was double that which France main taiped with Argentina. The growth of that enterprising republic is demonstrat- ed by the fact that in 1917 Argentina's S total foreign trade. including imports and exports, was of the money value of near ly $SS0 0,0O0, ,0O0

WE HAVE CAPTURED TRADE

| The war has made many changes, not the least important of which is the fact officially reported that at last the United States has gained the prestige that goes with the rank of first place among the nations in selling American commodities to Argentina. The amount of our sales and the trade with Argentina would be greater if more ships were available. but the ships will be ready for such com
 merce as we can command with Argen-
 tina after the war is over, 1t is the
 belief of those who are familiar With the
 conditions that we will be able to main
 tain and even greatly to increase our
 commerce with the great republic of
 South America.
 That is the view of Ernest II. Wands.
 who during the administration of Presi- dent Taft was confidential agent of the state department and in that capacity visited South American nations, making a long stay at Argentina. Mr. Wands speaks Spanish and that enabled him to obtain, perhaps, a better information re- specting these opportunities than he could have gained had he been able to speak only the English language When he returned to this country he reported that there was no good reason why the United States should not command fair share of the trade with Argentina. That was also the opinion of pr. John Basset Moore, who wasNfirst assistant secretary of state in the first year or President Wilson's first administration Later he visited Argentina and although his mission was of a diplomatic nature yet he was impressed with the fact that the United States seemed to be neg lecting opportunities for increased trade with Argentina. Every one of these high authorities will be gratified by the announcement made by the department of commerce at Washington that fin l9l7 the lead of the United States has be- come so firmly established that those who are familiar with business condi- tions in Argentina are convinced that this country will never be dislodged from that position."

BIG FUTURE IN
LIVE STOCK, SAYS
MANAGER ELLIOT

The live stock industry in this vi
cinity and county is due for a boom,
according to the opinion of H. L..
Elliot, manager of the Northern Pack
ing plant, after looking over the plant
yesterday. He reported hat the pro-
gress of the plant was all hat could
be expected, but that he could not
make any statement as to the ate of
opening.
Mr.. Elliot pointed out that diversi-
fed farming was no more a fad, but a
reality, and that the successful farmer
hereafter would be the man who
adopted this method Of conducting his
business. Good prices were assured
in wheat for 1919, he said, by the
government, and the price of hogs, in
all probability would also be fixed.
Mr.. Elliot said hat with the packing
plant here in the midst of a cattle
and hog raising section, a big future
lay before the farmers in the live
stock industry.
1t is the opinion of Mr.. Elliot that
the plant will not be completed for
some time yet. He said he was not
able to set any definite time. The
epidemic has so many times dis
organized the workers that the work
has had a considerable setback. The
plumbing would not be finished for
about six weeks. he said, but it was
probable hat the plant operations
could begin before this work was
complete.
