hailing distance of a couple of farm

the officers called out:

again, louder than before:

What the officers said when they

The United States is now supplying
approximately one-half of the manu-
features entering international trade.
All OF the on-manufacturing sections
OF the world are now looking to US for
a large proportion of their supplies of
manufactures. Prior to the war the
United States was supplying about one
sixth of the manufactures entering in
ternational trade; in the year which
ends with this month We have supplied
about one-half. A compilation by the
National City bank of New York
shows that the exports of manutac-
lures from the United States have av-
eraged S265.OOO,OOO per month during
the ten months of the fiscal year, and
in the latest month April, were $780,
100000, thus justifying an estimate of
over sS.OOO.OOO,OOO as the record for
the fiscal year ending with June, 1919.

at low wages: that there would be
sharp competition among the leading
nations in international trade; and
that buyers generally. looking forward
toward an era of lower prices, would
postpone buying. In the light of these
considerations it was but natural for
people to expect a great fall ir prices.
and even to fear an Industrial panic.
However. the expected great fall in
prices has not occurred. and it is not
likely to occur.

THE PROMOTERS WIFE
A VISIT TO A FORTUNE TELLER.
CHAPTER Gil.

We had delightful dinner. 1
may have appreciated it the more be-
cause of late they had seemed either
lonely and dull without Neil. or he
had been distract, uninterested. But
both he and Mr.. Frederick exerted
themselves and we had a really lively
time. Aunt fairly beamed. The con-
versation turned on fortune telling.
and while we all declared our skep-
ticism, each of us confessed to having
at some time gone to hear what the
seers could tell US. Mr.. Frederick
said:
''There is a very good one here
now, a man named Cary. He has
apartments at one of the hotels up,
town, and does a smashing business.
L should like to visit him." aunt
said to him, "it is years since I have
had my fortune told. Then it was
by a travelling Gypsy. She used a
greasy pack of cards. 1 was afraid
of disease"
"Oh, this man is a well groomed
fellow. 1 imagine he makes money,
Frederick replied.
you have visited him?" I asked
quizzically.

time in San Francisco"
But did he tell you anything ?
Anything you cared to know, and
didn't know before you went to
him?" I again questioned him.
"Yes-yes-I think he did tell me
some things wanted to know. Some
| that 1 didn't care about also"
Come Frederick" Neil broke in.

fortune tellers in town. 1 for one

than we do about the future. They
are merely good readers of charac-
/ ter. He will probably tell Bah she
is to be married again, have half a
dozen children. and go on a journey.
| 1 believe that is about the extent OF
their stock in trade" We all laughed
at him, but aunt was not to be

pastor there, Mr.. Ma, is a consecrated
and earnest worker, but nothing has
been done for the women and children.
1t is a wonderful field for work. Our
meetings were so well attended. the
women seeming so eager to hear more.
The people have so seldom seen foreign
women that it was necessary for US to
keep ourselves out of sight as much as
possible.
On Friday night Mr.. Ma was holding
his enquirers class and had bolted the
front door. People on the street broke
open to have look at US, so finally we
decided we would go to our bedroom.
Shortly after going there we saw face
peerng in at the window.
On Friday evening we went to visit
the home of our washer boy. His people
live together in primitive clan style, their
houses all in one place, common gate
and yard. They seem to work their fields
in common.
Saturday morning we left for home,
and to our caravan added two small pigs

Forgot What He Needed.
M. P. F..

From the Republican, Mt. Giliad, Ohio:
The editor had an interesting experience
sometime ago, when young gentleman
came to this office and asked for copy
of the Morrow County Republican. He
scrutinized it carefully when copy was
handed him, and then said: "Now know"
"What is it you are looking for" we in
quired. "My wife sent me after bot
tie of Chamberlain Cough Remedy,
and forgot the name. | went to sew
eral stores and the clerks named over
everything in the Ii, on the shelf except
chamberlain III try again, and I'll
never go home without Chamberlain
Cough Remedy" The Republican would
suggest to the proprietors of stores, that
they post their clerk 5, and never let them
substitute. Customers lose faith in stores
, where substituting is permitted, to say
nothing of the injustice to makers OF
good goods and the disappointment o.
costumers.
