SOUTH AMERICAN
TRADE IS GOING
TO GERMANY
DIFFERENCE IN VALUE OF DOL
LAR AND MARK Is
THE CAUSE

BUENOS AIRES, Nov. 1O.-The
high value of the American dollar as
a medium of exchange and the low
value of the German mark is en-
abling German houses to sell goods
here cheaper than they did before
the war. Their prices are so far
below those of American and other
allied countries that, for the mo-
ment, there is no possibility of COM
petition.
The Germans are experiencing
little difficulty in getting their goods
to South America. German ma
chimes OF a certain class r selling
at 100 per cent above what they did
before the war, yet they are zoo
pesos cheaper to the Argentine
buyer because, the mark is cheap.
To guard themselves against pos
sible shipping delays when buying
German goods. Argentine importers
are buying marks today and keeping
them to pay their bills with when
the goods arrive. so that an increase
in the value of the mark will not
affect their purchasing price.
1t has been reported here that
German exporters can not ship
metals, yet their statesmen are Offer

United States statesmen and are get
ting orders because they promise
shipment when possible" and in
the meantime the Argentine pur-
chaser has only to go to his bank
and buy marks to cover the price OF
bis order and he then gets his goods
at today's price, regardless of the
value of the mark when the goods
are received.
Several American representatives
here have written to their princi-
pals that it is impossible to take
orders for American goods as long
as the dollar is valuable land mark
is not.

The Nevada Mining News Bureau,
with headquarters at 1416 Broad
way, New York. was formed during
the recent visit to New York of II.
G. Mcmahon and A. /. Darcy of the
Goldfield Development company and
operators throughout Nevada are
being interested in the bureau.

frequent intervals official informa-
ton regarding the. operations of the
leading companies. The service is
available at a nominal cost to every
one interested.
All information supplied by the
bureau is to be official from mine
arrangements, which will eliminate,
according to a statement by the bu-
reau, "a good deal of information"
sent to stockholders in Nevada COM
panies and others that is "garbled,
inaccurate, exaggerated and almost
always unofficial"
Two experienced men are in
charge in the New York office.

THE TR0USSEAU IN CHINA
How 1t Figures When Plans Are Made
for Marriage Of Daughter OF
Family.

When l was ten years old my serv-
ing woman made a mark here in the
middle of my forehead. 1t was made
with red face paint and had to be re-
newed every time I went outside the
compound. That sign meant that l
was old enough to become engaged.
and that my parents would consider
offers for me. Soon after, an old
woman came to see me. She made my
serving woman remove all my cloth
ing. Then she looked me over. She
made me thread a needle-to test my
eyes. She made me sew a seam-tO
try my skill. She looked at my teeth,
and pinched my body all over-to see
If was healthy. Then she went away.
One day, when l was twelve, heard
my mother talking about me-with the
old woman who had been to see me
before. They were talking about my
clothing. The middle woman said
should have four pairs of silk trous-
ers and three of cotton. I was also
to have six white undergarments OF
cotton, and four linen for the hot
weather. My outer garments were all
to be of silk, and all must have
embroidery about them. Two heavy
garments were to be lined with silk,
and padded with new cotton. These
were to wear in the cold weather. They
talked half day about my trunks.
The middle woman held out that
should have four, all covered with pig
skin, but my mother was determined
should have only two. At last it
was agreed that I should have three
pig-skin trunks and two boxes COW
cred with plain cloth. When they
came to an agreement about anything
a teacher wrote it down, so there
would be no forgetting after. He
would read it over to them often and
had to change the writing when one
or the others said they did not so under
stand. The middle woman grew very
angry when they were talking about
the bedding I should have, and left
the court. A servant called her and
she returned. All the while they were
talking about me I felt most impor-
tant, for I had never before had
value placed on me. Then I thought
I had not understood my mother all
my life. She had always treated me
with unconcern, because I was not
boy, and now she was pointing out all
my good qualities and setting value
on each of them. Then they told me
I was to be married. I was to marry
man had never seen and they would
not even tell me his name. I asked
my mother if he might come to our
court and play with me. She scolde6
me. He lived eight miles away, and
could not come that distance just to
see me. Silly child.-Asia Magazine.

Plenty of Room Behind.

A mule was brought and tied near
the group head headquarters and some
one asked to whom it belonged. One
of the young second lieutenants sug-
gested that it must be the chaplain's
mount. At the officers mess that
evening the joke was sprung on the
chaplain, a dignified college professor
in civil life.
"Where did you get your fine mount
we saw tied up out there this after
noon, chaplain?' queried one of the
young officers.
"From Missouri" was the prompt
answer, and without a flicker Of a
smile
II think we ought to have the chap
lain head our review tomorrow on that
mule, and we would all come parading
along behind him." said the mis-
chievous lieutenant.
"There is one thing certain" replied
the chaplain, you would not crowd
him."

NOT QUITE TO HIS TASTE
Hunter Liked Bear, All Right, but
That Particular One Was Not
Done Enough.

Blenkins once joined a bear-huntinx
expedition. During the hunt, as he
was resting by the side of a rock
and talking with another hunter he
began swanking heavily.
IF there's anything I dote on it's
bear. A slice of bear steak nicely
done is just perfect!'' he said.
'Well," said his companion look
ing up, "Pm hanged if there isn't
bear now!'
The man who "doted on bear"
looked up, saw an immense grizzly
on the top of the rock, gave a yell
and leaped into the woods and dis
appeared. His companion soon over
took him and said to the fugitive as
he came up:
II thought you liked bear?"
'Well, I do,' said the runaway
"but that one wasn't done enough"

Radium Production in United state'

Radium Production in United States.
G. II. Viol, writing in Science, states
that the total production Of radium
element in the United States down to
1919 is about IS grams, which is
probably more than half the total
radium produced in the world. Dur
ing the war, with no carnotite exports,
the greatest part of the worlds ra-
dunn supply has been produced in this
country. In 1918 the United States
produced 1875 grams. With regard to
a discussion that has occurred con-
cerning the amount of radium that
can be produced from the carnotite
fields, Mr.. Viol says that the carno-
tite holdings of the Standard Chemical
company, which comprise about $50
claims and are the largest holdings un-
der the control Of single concern.
are estimated to be capable Of yield
ing at least 500 grams of radium.-

Build Nests Like an oven.

Do you know how the oven bird got
it's name? Well, it was because it's
nest built among the leaves or pine
needles on the ground is arched to give
an ovenlike appearance, says the
American Forestry association, Wash
ington, which is encouraging bird con-
servation through bird-house building
contests among school children and is
conducting a national campaign. You
do not see the oven bird sitting on the
topmost twig of a tree like some other
members Of the feathery tribe, but
he sticks close to the ground, mount
ing to the lower branches of tree
only to sing or to scold an intruder.
The song of the oven bird somewhat
resembles the word teacher"
