EXPORTS OF COMMODITIES

In communication recently made for
publication BY Thomas Lamont, he
clearly intimates that unless the Senate
speedily ratifies the treaty of peace and
accepts the covenant of the league OF
nations it is inevitable that there fol-
ow heavy falling off in our fnterna
tionai trade Mr.. Lamont hints that al
ready the delay in the ratification of the
treaty and the covenant of the league of
nations is causing considerable falling
off in the sale of American commodities
abroad. or at least the demand for these
commodities. Nevertheless. and in spite
of the high authority which anything
that Mr.. Lamont says commando, many
or our manufacturers are finding thar
the demand for American commodities
not lessening, but in fact is increas-
ing. There come from other parts of
the word demands for American steel
and iron manufacture. The export bust
ness OF the steel companies Is not only
we'll maintained. but appears to be in
creasing. William L. Sanders, who in
the war days was brought into the serv-
ice OF the government by reason of his
expert authority upon exports as well
as upon manufactures, expected that
with the termination OF the war there
might be a considerable falling off in the
production OF the great industry Of
whose board Of directors he Is chairman.
Instead Of that, Mr.. Sanders said this
morning that the great plans Of the cor
poration. which is the largest in tho
world. engaged in the manufacture of
rock drills, is now producing a little
over 80 per cent Of their capacity This
mas been made possible by the heavy
demand which has come from other
parts OF the world since the war ended
for this apparatus. The purchases by
other nations Of this apparatus furnished
excellent proof that already mining op-
erations. new railroad construction, tun-
mel building and other activities have
started up since the war was ended.
The export business of this cooperation
Is now almost II not quite as large as
any that 1t has ever had.

OTHER LEADERS

Others who are leaders in great Amer
lean industries are reporting to their
friends present-day conditions with their
which indicate that other nations are
more concerned about purchasing Amer
lean commodities upon az favorable
terms as possible than they are owe,

ate which are based upon the league OF
nations covenant and the treaty OF
peace.
Undoubtedly II the league of nations
covenant and the treaty OF peace are
at last finally and satisfactorily deter
mined, there will be considerable addi
ton to the demands for American com.
modities. Nevertheless. the DELAY in the
Senate In acting upon this subject ap-
parently has not caused any consider
able falling of in the demands from
other countries for American commodi-
ties, although it is possible the demand
would have been considerably greater

Elsie Ferguson will be at the CO.

all three performances. Miss Fergu-
son is immensely popular in Augusta
Just as she is everywhere else in the
country and all of her admirers will
want to be on hand to see her in "A

Henry Arthur Jones play, We
Can't Be as Bad as That"
That character of Nora Shard.
played by Miss Ferguson, Is one that
most of us would have considered un-
true before the war. But the work
that many society women did for the
soldiers and sailors is abundant proof
that hundreds of women did more
than attend dances and late suppers.
Nora Shard, the heiress heroipe of "A
Society Exile" is a distinguished
novel writer as we'll as the daughter
of a very rich man. She is not at all
socially ambitious, but is taken to
England by an aspiring aunt who in
tends to marry her to a title. The
girl strikes up close acquaintance
with an intelligent young nobleman
who desires to put her novel into a
play. Tragedy follows. due to the
unfounded suspicion of his jealous
wife and Nora is practically exiled
from England. Later in Venice all
turns out for the better.
Not only is the play wonderfully
acted by Miss Ferguson and an all
star cast, but the scenery is unusually
beautiful. One setting in particular
is striking reproduction of the
canals of Venice.

Appreciate. cobbosses Fishing


The Inland Fisheries and Game
has this week received a
letter from an Illinois man on BUSH
ness matters. but in which he takes
occasion to express his appreciation
of the fine black bass fishing he has
enjoyed this season at Lake Cob
tosseecontee, as follows:
my fishing was done at Lake Cob
bosseecontee for black bass. 1t ex-
tended over a period of five days.
from July 3 to July inclusive. 1t
was entirely fly fishing for black
bass and my companion and l mao
most excellent luck. Each day we
were successful in taking a good
many fish. most of which were under
size and were returned to the water
II have had a great deal OF ex-
perience in black bass fishing IN tne
West and never had better fly hsE'
ing. nor have / taken gamier hsn
although as I say they run rather
small.
I'VE were advised by our guidt
that the fish little earlier in tn
season run larger, as they are stu
in shallow water. Being in the shall
low water they are probably on theil
beds and it may be just as well tina
our fishing was as late as 1t was.
IF you have any literature OF In
terest to an angler. the writer vii
be very glad to receive it."
It is needless to say that all tn
available literature about the FISH
and game of Maine will be sent t

to speak we'll of the sport he foun'
in our waters.

at The Forks Pastor HIATT Is still
blessed with the opportunity of keep
ing in touch with his friends in these
two places. through the services
which he conducts in each place once
In two weeks. Without these services

present. much larger congregation
than many Of the larger churches of
the State have at mid-week services.
Rev. Mr.. HIATT has since 1895 with
the exception of one pastorate. al
ways been located in Somerset coun-
~ and In this section which speaks
well indeed for the splendid work
accomplished and the excellent man
agement Of church finances on his
part. He was called from The Forks
TO East Madison where he remained
as pastor Of the congregational
church for five years. He was then

where ne was located for four years,
this having been his one charge out
side Of the county. At the close of
these four years he was asked to re-
turn to Somerset county and take M
the pastorate Of the church at North
Anson. He remained there for Ave
years, serving not only his home
church but the church in New port
land as well. 1t Is safe to saw that
these years were not only extremely
happy years for the energetic c,er-
gyman but were blessed of God 70 the
growth and spiritual up-lift Of both
churches. In 1909 Rev. Mr.. HIATT ac-
copied an invitation from the peon,e
OF the Bingham congregational
church to take up the work Of their
parish and for nearly 10 years he and
the Congregational people have la
bored together with the very hest Of
results. In the years since 1909 the
church has grown in numbers from
81 to TT in 1919. In addition to this
splendid record fine little home has
been built for the pastor and his
family, who have the pleasure of
knowing that the structure is entire
~ paid for. Rev. Mr.. HIATT is also oc-
cupying the pastorate of the Congre-
pational church in Scion in connec-

ANNIE TIFFANY, OLD
STAGE STAR, DIES

SYRACUSE, N. Y, Jan. 22.-Annie
Ward Tiffany, once regarded by dra-
matte critics as one of the most versa
tile actresses on the stage, is dead at
her home here. She was more than 70
years old.
In her stage career Miss Tiffany
played every. sort of part, from Topsy
to Lady Macbeth, but she built up her
reputation on her portrayal of Irish
character parts in her earlier DAYS, OF
her success in these roles she once said:
Il am OF, Irish birth, so that when |
the manner born. 1 am pretty well
versed in Irish characteristics, and I
know what a certain type of. Irishwom-
an would or would not do. l know the
gestures she would employ and so
forth"
OF the realistic school, Miss Tiffany
had a wholesome dislike for studied
theatrical tricks in acting, Her only
dramatic education was in the school
of experience n in this school she
worked her way, up from the kinder
garten. The main thing in acting, she
always held, was to reproduce human
nature as it really exists.
The actors and actresses who are
continually striving for theatrical eff
feet" she would say in defense of her
theory must necessarily appear arti-
ficial-and there should be nothing ar
tificial or unnatural in acting If the
actor is supposed to hold the mirror
up to nature"
Miss Tiffany was born in Limerick,
Ireland, but came to this country with
her debut in the Cos, her first appear
ance being in the role of Pity Pat in
THE Hidden Hand" Her manager, r.
q. ]. Miles, didn't give her the part to
learn, but. merely told her what to say
and laid particular emphasis on the ne

A year or two later found her play
ing %soubrette roles at the Arch Street
theater in Philadelphia, where she
made a hit as Nancy Sykes. In 1857
she became a regular member of the
in Much Ado About Nothing, Dear
and other plays. Subsequently she ap-
peared as leading lady at Col, Sims
Park theater, and Hyde & Behman's
Olensk, in "Mazeppa;" Mrs. Smith, in
the first New York production Of
"MrLiss;" Emile de Lesparre, in the
,'Corsican Brothers." Eve and Naomi,
in THE Deluge;" Agnes Constant and
tinent;" Violet Biolette Vernet, in
the World in Eighty Days Kathleen
C%ayapaugh, in Peep O. Day" and the
Child Stealer. in East Lynne"
In 1890 she produced The Stepdaugh-
ter" at the Windsor theater, appearing
as Peggy Logan in that play. In 1893
she played the title role in her own
production of Alfred K~ennedy's Lady
, Barney
Miss Tiffany married Charles C.
Green, the theatrical manager, Her
daughter. known to the stage as "Maude
Tiffany" has achieved some success in
emotional roles.
