BRAZIL
The Development of
our South American Ally

r HREE-FOURTHS of the population
of Brazil, the largest country of
South America both in area and popu-
lation, lies along the Atlantic Coast
from the northern shoulder to the
southern extremity of the country.
Along the coast highly developed
modern civilization has attained ex-
traordinary industrial power. To the
west across the low mountain ranges
which parallel the coast are table
. lands capable Of vast development.
THE possibilities of this western de-
velopment point comparison to
the situation in the United States,
about 1920, before our population
drifted over the Allegheny Mountains
into the western plains. The extern
sive fertile areas of Brazil justify
prediction that the development of her
resources will be similar to that of the
United States.
i w HEN our pioneers drifted west
ward our population in COMPARE
son to our area Appropriated that Of
Brazil, being about y persons per
square mile. Then our foreign COM
merce amounted to s10.34 per capita.
To-day in the United States there are
28.1 persons per square mile and our
foreign commerce amounts to $500
per capita. Brazils foreign commerce
at the present time is $27.5O per cap
ira. If her future growth even approx
mately compares with that of the
United States her foreign commerce
will be tremendous.
r RAILS commerce and economic
development are dependent upon
the investment of foreign capital.
~ r RITISH and Canadian capital in
vested in Brazil is estimated at
$1,000, 100000, while that of the United
States is estimated at only $40, O0O,0 900.

IN 1918 the exports to Brazil from the
leading nations were divided ap-
proximately as follows:
The United Kingdom of Great
Britain -. --s.,.se----ses-- ----Z53o
Germany ...t.. .sc-..,.c- - .ZUTo
The United States. ..,... -s.o-------17oo
In 1914, due to the European War,
the United States became second only
to Great Britain as an exporter to
Brazil. 49,.
In 1915 the United States became
the principal nation exporting to
Brazil.
In 1916 Brazils imports from the
United States totalled $76,908,000 or
1870 of the total imports to Brazil.
In 1917 Brazirs imports from the
United States totalled $102,514, 900, or
47qo of the total imports to Brazil.
IF the United States is to maintain
her lead in Brazilian trade, her in
vestments must support her exports.
American capital invested now in Bra
zil will contribute to the continuance
of trade gained from Germany and will
materially assist in maintaining Amer
ica's position as the principal exporter
to Brazil. The opportunities presented
by the enormous undeveloped re-
sources of the largest of our South
American neighbors merit the closest
attention of farsighted American in
vestors.

CHARMING NEW HOME
 OF GRACE LUTHERAN CHURCH OPEN TODAY

The members of the Grace Lutheran church will meet this morning for the first time in their new home on the southeast corner of Sixth and Fillmore streets The building is a neat frame bungalow, which will be used as house of worship until the congregation becomes able to build a more substan- tial and churchly meeting house.
 The Rev. John K. Reed, the pastor now in charge, organized the Grace Lutheran church five years ago last February. The first place of meeting was the Seventh Day Adventist church. For unavoidable reasons, the congrega- tion was obliged to worship in five oth CT buildings, the last of which was the w. C. T. |. hall, so the members of this organization are glad today to be in a home of their own.
 The bible school will meet at the usual time, 9:45 o'clock. At the time of the Il o'clock meeting, the school will give an Easter service, "The Loving Christ" published by the board of home
 missions and church extension of the | United Lutheran church in America At ! s o'clock, p. m. the church choir, under 1 the management of J. W Westberg, will render an Easter cantata, From Death to Life.".
 All persons are cordially invited to
 attend the services of the Easter gospel 1 in song in the new church.

INVENTOR NEW H|-Y
 LECTURER TOMORROW

Professor Montraville NJ Wood will appear next Monday night on the Hi-Y lecture course. Professor Wood is an entertaining demonstrator of modern scientific inventions. He was on the course here last year and his enter tainment was so strong that there has been strong demand for his return.
 MT. Wood is the inventor of the nearing torpedo" about which so much has appeared in magazines and newspapers. This submarine instru ment is noted for it's humane possi- bilities and it's almost human intelli- gence. By means of special contriv- ance on which the torpedo is poised delfcately and subject to sound waves produced with a small wooden rattle, the demonstrator is able to explain to his audience the principle involved in this, one of the most recent inventions an invention which many authorities believe is destined to revolutionize and humanize submarine warfare.
 Professor Woods entertainment at tracts and amuses. It is doubtful that local people realize from the advance notices, even though they may be written in glowing terms, what is really in store for them at this enter tainment.
