ing anything about the average dog or his kinfolks, it cant be done No. sir: not on your life.
 But the particular dog on whose be- half I am passing the buck-two bucks, to be exact-is no dub. He is of the Collie F F. V's; responds proudly to the name of 'Bruce,' and has more sense and good manners than lots of folks you've seen. and to persons officially priviledged to meet him, he will unfold the glories of his ancestors. who wore golden collars back in the days before the highball and game of poker gladdened the hearts of men.
 He is absolutely free from all vicious, bolshevik diseases, such as mango, dis temper, collie. cramp, and hollow horn. and never for a moment of his honored life has he been afflicted with the Ala bama brand of politco- hydrophobia. Not only that, he is an uncompromising Hun hater, home-ruler and prohibition ist.
 NOT A THING ON HIM
 Now. it strikes me that a guy owning a dog like that could, in all fairness, ex- pect rake-off of at least one-qaurter from the regular price Should you soften to my point of view kindly remit the amount promptly, because when it comes to being hard up, this town hasn't a d-n thing on me.
 But if you resolve to hand me the iimburger cheese then I advise you to lose no time in cashing the enclosed check, because I may change my mind and beat you to it.

AMERICA WILL
 HOLD TRADE ARGENTINA

WASHINGTON, April 14-"A study of market conditions and methods in Argentina has convinced me that, so far as this particular country is con- cerned, American trade will continue for many years to hold it's own," Rob- ert s. Barrett, commercial attache to the United States embassy in Buenos Aires, declared today in a report to the bureau of foreign and domestic commerce.
 In answering the "most pertinent question: now in the minds of busi- ness men of the United States- whether this country can retain the commercial prestige gained during the war-Mr Barrett found numerous reasons for optimism. He said firms in the United States were coming to a better understanding of their South American trade because they were studying its needs. Increased credit facilities are being arranged and clos CT relations achieved by the establish ment of branch houses in Latin America and buying offices in the United States.
 He warned, however, that competi- tive freight rates, trained men, abso- lute honesty and investment in South American securities were necessary to maintain the position which United States goods now hold in the coun- tries to the south of the equator.
 "While perhaps the United States percentage of the total imports into Argentina may not be so large as has been in the past four years, dur ing which competition from European countries was greatly affected by the war, the value of it's exports to Argen- tina will be larger in the next few years than ever before," MT. Barrett said.
 Tt cannot be expected that the United States will continue to supply Argentina with the greater part of it's imports of cotton and woolen goods, glassware, chinaware, drugs, heavy heavy chemicals, cardboard and cer- tain aw materials, when normal con- diti \ are restored in Europe, but, on the her hand, imports of such goods as T and steel lumber, petroleum prot ts, machinery, furniture, boots and > oes, cement, automobiles, office supplies and specialties, in which America had large part before the war and which have been reduced by war conditions, will be greatly in- creased. -.-
 "In passing, it may be noted that in 1917 the United States supplied Argenr tine with goods valued at $193,251,- 949 (United States currency), or 36 per cent of the total imports. It's nearest competitor was the United Kingdom, whose exports to the Argen- tine were valued at $80,080,322
 There are several fundamental req sons which are responsible for this conclusions:
 American manufacturers and ex- porters are beginning to know and to meet the requirement. of the Argen- tine buyer. The old system of trying to force goods which conformed to the # ynf in 10 J1Tjtnd States upon the people of this country is passing away and an intelligent effort is being made to supply the
