HE WILL GET GRENADE
Karl Eimbeck, Ten Year. Old, Sets Fast Pace for Missouri Boys in
 Patriotism and Thrift.

ren-year-old Karl V. Simbeck of New Haven, Mo-, is destined t. carve a place of prominence in Missouri should he remain in the Imperial State until manhood. Should he hearken to the call of any other state his stand ing among men of finance is sure to be that which commands respect.
 In spite of the fac that Karl has seen but ten summers he already has a nestegg that should cause the blush of shame to mantle the cheek of many a man whose life lies behind him.
 Karl began his sewing somo years ago and when the Treasury Depart ment launched it's Thrift campaign he was not slow to see the advantages that investing his tin accumulations in War Savings and Thrift Stamps and has seen tlese baby bonds grow until they totaled SO That Karl is patriotic and proud of his country's achievements as yell as thrifty is shown by the following letter that he wrote to Federal Director Wilson of the War Savings Organization at St. Louis under date of July 25:
 'T am ten years old and have bought $500 worth of War Savings Stamps. Don't you think that I am entitled to a grenade or some war souvenir? Please write and tell me-"
 While the local organization had not received the hand grenades from Washington when Karl's letter was receive and his request could not be complied with at the time, there is no doubt that he will be the frs: to re- ceive his grenade when the supply ordered by the Bank of New Haven reaches his city.

II Is probably these attempts to general

confusion and misunderstanding For

Bolivia was constituted. an indep pendent
nation on August 8, 1895. It's early years
OF republican life were passed amid the
turbulence of politics and proclanations
OF amnesty. One can say that recently,
since 1888, the country has entered upon
life of progress, developing its ex-
traordinary mineral riches, establishing
its banking credit. trading normally, with
foreign countries and initiating the nrst
railroad from the port of Antotsg asta to
the mining city of Oruro.
IL one considers the extrs6rdfSary
quantity and quality OF her n,inerrl
riches. Bolivia has not nearly ATTAINED
az yet her possible development. Her
progress has baeG slow but @effective,
like the progress Of a child abandoned
by Its elders and antagonized by its
COMPANIONS from birth. ~
It's foreign commerce, maintained on
reduced scale with the neighborinR
countries and with France, England,
Germany and other nations OF Europe,
permitted 1t to ship out of the country
Cup TO 1900 much silver and lately APP
preciablc quantities of tin, copper, bis
muth, silver, as a sulphide and In bars,
gold, anthony and Wolfram, and to
import merchandise, food supplies, ma
chimes and manufactured articles in
general.
Until 1914 It's commerce had been al
most exclusively with England. France
and Germany, countries which took the
South American trade. one might say,
under their commercial domination, es-
tabltshing easy and productive markets.
Bolivia had in 1914 an export trade OF
bs,327,343 kilos with an official value
tvaiue in Bolivia and not in the ex-
change markeD in Bolivianos OF Bs.
65,S01,562. Its imports in the same year
were 157.524,5S4 kilos with n value Of

These figures were increased in 1915
and 1916, reaching in the latter year

0l.4S4,s00 for exports and 136,s94. i28
kilos with a value OF Bs. 3l,OsS,2l5 for
imports. In 1917 and 1918 tho values
for export went to BIS. l57.7S4,o54 and
rs. 1a4,SO4,52o respectively.
In spite Of the restrictions placed
by tho allied countries, Bolivia was able
10 provide herself with Indispensable ar
ticles for consumption and in addition
1t was possible to export her products,
useful In the industeies, by reason Of the
increase in the prices of tin, wolfram,

Sixty-hve per cent. of the shipments

war. were TO the United States. whose

banks: Banco de la Nacion Boliviana.
