I should have gone to Yakima last night,

morning, $50 that 1 could have attended
the Republican pow-wow that is to be pull
ed off there to night. All of the guberna-
torial aspirants will be there and l am anx-

noticed a smile hanging about the coun-
tenances of my wife and daughter when the
former. as rejoinder to my remark said:
"In other words, you want to touch some IF
the gubernatorial aspirants.' I made no
objection to her rendition of my desire to
be in Yakima, and left for the city, and
without exaggeration at least a dozen old
timers during the day hailed me with
"Why are you not in Yakima today?"
Because l am not, began to snap out in
reply. [ may be political CRATER alright,

PAN-AMERICAN
TRADE GROWING

Assurance Of ample shipping facili-
ties between the United States and
the Latin-American republics is the
chief factor in the optimistic out
/ look for broad trade development
between the Americas, according to
a statement issued by the Pan-Amer-
1 lean Union.
Commerce between this country
and the twenty-one principal Latin
American republics increased 1913 per
cent in the four years between 1914
to 1918, the statement declares, and
the next fiscal year will witness
the greatest increase of all. Ever
since the beginning of the war there
has been an extraordinary growth
in Pan-American commerce, due
largely to war conditions, the state
ment points out
Big Value of Goods.
The value of commerce exchanged
between this country and the re-
pUblics amounted to $1,000, 600 in
the fiscal year Immediately preceding
the war. Last year these figures
had climbed to $3.50, 100000, a gain
of one billion dollars.
AS a result of the recent Pan
American commercial conference
held here, American business men
are in a position to know the truth
about trade opportunities in the
southern republics Views were inter
changed and the delegates, including
hundreds of American shippers and
manufacturers, obtained from the
South American visitors an idea as to
what kind of goods are in greatest
dema nd.

the shipping board is prepared to
give attention to all the needs Of
Pan-American shipping, has given

AS we grew older we would put up stone
cabins or castles in field and forest, and our
snow and ice palaces, and Notifications.
Later, have we not all of us fashioned our
ideal homes in our day dreams? Our Castles
in the Air'-have they remained Castles in the
Air or tumbled down dream palaces? And
why? Because we have feared to make them
real-we have lacked confidence in our
work-and because faith without
work is dead-we have not Succeeded-our
dreams have not come true-our homes and
mansions and castles have remained but dreams.

Reconstruction movements, now in
full swing in every State, cover every
conceivable angle Of the problem of

Governors, mayors, State legisla-
lures, churches, Boy Scouts, chambers
of commerce, volunteer workers and
civic bodies are cooperating in plans
TO insure a square deal for demobi-
LIKED soldiers and get the factories
humming again.
No State failed to figure in the sur
vey.
Alaska, too, is helping. by Offering
to place 5000 demobilized soldiers in
jobs as teachers, clerks, and watch
men.
Get Men Back To Farms.
Most projects aim at getting soldiers
on the land as farmers and helpers.
For this work the Colorado legisla-
ture appropriated S725,O00, to be
spread over a period of twenty years.
An appropriation Of 100000 is
provided for loans to demobilized SOL
diers in a bill introduced into the
Iowa legislature.
