THE BALANCE or TRADE.
"As regards trade, one Of the most
curious situations arising out of the
War and one that is greatly puzzling
our experts lies in the fact that The
balance Of trade has become seriously
unbalanced"
"Oh yes,n exclaimed Jimmy. you
told US about the trade balance quite
some time ago. How the trade between
nations normally should about balance ;
for instance after we have bought
coffee from Brazil and tea from China
and sold wheat or cotton to England
and farm machinery TO Russia the
books should about come out even"
"Good for you. Jimmy. / didn't think
that you'd remember that talk,' re-
piled Uncle Harry. "Nes, that is right
and a gigantic net balance in favor
Of any one nation is something that
has never developed before. You see.

We are pleased to state that, from
personal observations, there is much
less cruelty practiced on dumb animals
in Princeton than years ago-horses
are not being whipped so mercilessly
and dogs not kicked around or halt
starved as they were. The human
brute is fast arriving at the conclusion
that the horse and dog are among his
best friends. Then there are the
birds, which but few years ago were
so ruthlessly slaughtered. People now
realize their value as insect destroyers
and, instead Of killing, put forth efforts
to protect them. Verify, the world is
fast taking on humanitarian aspect.

The village council is entitled to
credit for installing crosswalks at
various points in town. The fact has
become apparent that these walks
should have been replaced after the
streets were surfaced with rock and
material which was supposed to be
sand from the river bed. This sand
proved to be nothing more or less than
alluvial deposits which unfortunately
is churned by vehicles into a sea Of
mud after every rain, making crossing
of the streets almost impossible.

Theodore Newingham's Venture in
Fuel Business at Expense of
Railroad Company is Cut
Short.
WAS ARRESTED IN YARDS
Nottingham Had Horse and Wagon
There and Latter Partly Filled
With Fuel When Adams
Caught Him.

Theodore Newingham's venture In
the coal business was nipped in the
bud last night. For the next thirty
days Newinghom will find warmth
and comfort at the hands of Lee
county, since he has pleaded guilty tc
the charge OF larceny Of coal from q
Burlington route car and has beer
sentenced to thirty days in the county
Jail
Special Officer George G.. Adams Is
the fuel administrator who put the
crimp in Newingham's business
Adams was sworn in yesterday to
work under the direction of the local
railroads in protecting the coal which
they have in. the yards here. He was
specially instructed to look out for
two men.
Last night he brought Newingham
and his horse and wagon to the police
station. There was about five dollars
worth of lump coal in the wagon. New
ingham was locked up and his horse
and wagon taken care Of by the police
department This morning he pleaded
guilty to the charge of taking the coal.
1t seems that the railroads have
been missing coal and that Adams as
a special officer has been detailed to
watch out for this thieving. man
with Nottingham, and said by authori-
ties to be the second man for whom
a watch was ordered, jumped out of
the wagon and got away last night.
Newingham is said to be a returned
soldier.
