A BuSINESs PROPOSITION.

A BUSINESS PROPOSITION.
From the St. Louis Globe Democrat.
President Wilson delivered two
addresses in st. Louis yesterday.
He spoke, as we had hoped and
believed he would speak, as the
chief magistrate of the nation,
explaining not a measure of
party policy but a measure of
national welfare transcending
party politics. In the speech at
the luncheon given by the Cham
Der of Commerce he addressed
himself primarily to business
men with a comprehension of
the essential internationally of
commerce, of industry and of
finance. We are told, he said,
that we should mind our own
business, but how, he pertinent
ly asked, can our business be
separated from the rest of the
world. Our business is not and
cannot be limited to our confn-
es. We have long ago crossed
our boundaries. We long ago
reached the point where we pro-
duced and manufactured more
than we could consume our
selves, and now our surplus
products are vastly more than
our own needs. Our business is
everywhere, in every land, mex
tricably mingled with the bust
ness Of others, and as we grow
greater and more productive our
prosperity is more and more de-
pendant upon the extension and
expansion Of our external COM
merce. Our industry and its re-
muneration are more and more
to be measured by what we sell
abroad rather than by what we
sell at home. Our finances are
more and more concerned with
and influenced by the questions
of foreign credit and exchange.
And therefore the maintenance
and developments of our bust
ness, at home as well as abroad,
is very largely a matter of other
peoples business and very large
y dependent upon the peaceful
relations of the peoples with
whom we do business.
These thoughts were not ex-
pressed by the president, but
grow out of the suggestion Of
his remarks. One of the mos.
far-reaching and largest-contin
uing consequences of war is thu
inevitable disruption of the nor
NAL processes of business. Tn,
whole world is now suffering ant
must continue to suffer from tn,
breaking down of these process
es of production, communication
and exchange resulting from tn

to look for trouble:
First, the Battery.
If there is but one dry cell, see that
the two wires are firmly fastened to
the binding posts and not touching
each other. With two or more cells
las in the illustration), the wires run
from the center of one to the side of
wire to one binding post and
scratching 1t against the other. If
you get no spark the cell is dead and
q new one is needed.
Second, the Pushbutton.

Inside are two fiat springs. one above
the other. See If they come together
when you push the button. and If they
have spring enough to separate again.
Third, the Bell.
1t is the magnets that make the
doorbell ring. When you press the
pushbutton the fiat springs come to-
gether: the circuit is complete and
the current starts. It passes through
the binding post (X). the clapper
arm, the side spring. the binding post
0), the magnets and the binding post

the magnets; they pull the clapper
arm over. making the knob (K) strike
and ring the bell. But when this hap

and simply showed that the things
one is used to are the things one loves
best. To Danny the Green Forest was
filled with terrible dangers. To White
foot the Green Meadows seemed a
place where there could be no such
thing as real safety. So they argued
and argued and had a perfectly splen-
