Washington.-Mea cotton, wheat
and wheat flour made up 20 per cent
of the total export trade in agricul-
tural products during the fiscal year
ending June 80, 1919. The total value
of agricultural exports was $685.
033,924. This amount of agricultural
exports exceeded by more than $780,
100000 the total imports of all prod
ucts to the United States. These fig
ures represent large increase over
figures for pre-war years, the total ex-
ports of all products for the United
States in 1914 being $2,329. 6S4,925.
Increase Due to War.
'"This increase in foreign commerce
was caused by the war and was made
possible by four major war measures"
says the bureau of markets Of the
United States department of agricul-
ture. "These four war measures were !:

dom totaled 100000 gross tons, and
that of the United States 1875, 900
gross tons. On August 1, 1919, the
American merchant marine totaled

of vessels being 1851, which includ-
ed 1,071 new steamers, So ex-German
ships, and six ex-Austrian ships.
Production Costs Increased In Europe.
The cost Of production in European
countries will be increased over the
pre-war period because of the change
in labor conditions. In the matter Of
machinery and efficient methods of
production, America may be counted
upon to keep well apace. The cost Of
production and, labor, and the in
creased shipping and banking facil-
titles, as compared with pre-war COM
petition conditions, greatly favor the
American trader. The uncertain fac
tor in the immediate future of our for
eign trade is the unsolved problem Of
foreign credit.
At the rates of exchange prevailing
October 6, 1919, bushel of wheat
which costs $2.371A f. o. b. at our At
lantic ports, in terms of our money
abroad, would be worth abroad the
equivalent of $2.74 in British money,
1888 in French money, $4.4S in Ital-
ian money, and $13.47 in German
money. If the depreciation Of Euro
pean moneys continues, or the rate Of
exchange becomes more abnormal, it
will probably restrict imports not only
of bread cereals. but also Of other
commodities, to the bare necessities,
and will constitute powerful slim
uius in foreign countries to increase
production.

0ller in Western Mill
Stripped by Skating

Vina, Nev.-With every stitch
of clothing stripped from his
body, G. w. Pearl, an 'oiler, en-
ployed in the mill of the Olym-
pic Mines company, was picked
up from the floor of the mill by
fellow employees and found to
have suffered no serious injury,
despite the fact that he was
whirled around rapidly NOV

Pearl was oiling the line shaft

Ing was entangled in a set
screw on the shafting. The
clothing held fast for few Sec

the shafting and whirled around.
How many times he went
around he could not tell, but
when his clothes finally gave
way he was shot to the floor of
the mill and had nothing on but
his shoes.
He has few bruises to show

SHELLS STILL PERIL FRENCH
Old Ammunition Blown Up by Fires
In Area Devastated by
Germans.

Laon, France.-Residents of the dew
astated districts of France are still
fleeing from bursts of shell and shrap-
mel. The new menace Is caused by
small fires, which frequently set off
the shells that have been piled up.
In the desolate fields thousands of
unexploded shells have been picked
up by German prisoners, and, though
there are details hauling them away
and exploding them in remote valleys
every day, there are still long ranks
Of them everywhere.
Sparks from locomotives and from
small fires, where battlefield rubbish
is being burned, occasionally set fire
to patches Of dry weeds, and the ac-
cidental bursts are numerous.

Mrs. J. R. Rogers, gave them lovely
little party The occasion for this
party was the birthday of Ethel and
Roberta Rogers, aged seven and
three years, respectively, and as the
great event came on the same day, if
anything made the party twice as
happy an occasion. The little folks
enjoyed themselves thoroughly dur
ing the afternoon, playing all kinds
of games that delight the hearts OF

taken into the dining room for re-
freshments, they, were surprised to
see two big cakes instead. of one. there
being one for each small honoree.
Each of the cakes was decorated with
its own correct number of candles and
in the middle of the table was large
bowl of roses. The little folks were
served withsice cream and cake. after
which more games were played until
the time they reluctantly left for
their homes. The, little friends who
spent the afternoon so pleasantly and

SOUTHERN FARMER
NEEDS PROTECTION
, Ocala. March 22nd

Ocala.. March 22nd.
To Our Senator and Legislators:
The southern farmer must be pro-
tected if he is to be. kept on his job.
j have often wondered why we have
any farmers left at all. their disap-
pointments are 80 numerous. No
matter how discouraging the season
has been the farmer il ready to- try
again on time. Will he Hever get tired
and quit the business? Of course he
will, unless he receives a fair return
for his labor.
The western farmers have been
favored by our government with a
guarantee Of big price for wheat.
This enables them to contract for Ia
Dor at a given price without risk.
They have. a ready market at their
door at all times for. corn, hay, pota-
toes, vegetable sand fruits at mar
let price which seldom fuctuates.
The southern farmer has no guar
antee of price for anything he epro.
duc&s, from our government or any
one He can only dispose of his
products near home in very limited
quantities and often price that does
not cover expenses.
Until we secure a safe market foI
the farmers products there will be nc
prosperity on the southern farm
The Florida Marketing Bureau, was
established to distribute and market
their goods (prinaipally perishables)
Of which there are 10000 cars ship
ped annually All this nuts go to the
consumer quickly and this can only be
dcne under a system which should be
studied out by men familiar with the
marketing end and then a law enacted
to assure success.
The labor proposition is serious
and some plan should be proposed
ans suggestions made to secure per.

this is accomplished we will have

Garments need not be IN perfect

women in the occupied regions are

repairing gift clothing and making
new garments adapted TO needs with
which they are familiar.

ever are acceptable; soft hats and
caps for fall ages, and sweaters OF

Mems shirts and pajamas. so worn
or shrunken as no longer to be SER
viceable are particularly welcome,
since the material can be utilized for
making children's garments.
Sending garments that cannot Be
used increases the cost Of handling,
as such articles have to be picked out
at the central location point, and
causes useless expenditures Of money
on articles which cannot be sent
abroad.
The Red Cross is paying the freight
and chapter workers should be certain
that every cent paid the railroads is
helping to forward some useful ar
ticles to the stricken countries Of Eu-
rope.
Do not send bah dresses, films,
dresses, high hats, straw hats. trim
ming for hats. feathers, umbrellas,
mattresses, clocks, glassware, toys,
cellars, neckties, shoe trees. canes,
parasols, pillows. crockery or rugs.
The people Of the liberated countries
