JAPAN WINS AMERICAN TRADE.

To those who think that there is no
need to fear trade rivalry following
the war, and that the United States
may safely pursue watchful wait
ing policy, the latest statistics Of
trade with the Orient are respectfully
referred. These figures indicate that
Japan is not only vigiant in interna-
tional politics but in international
trade. And she has not neglected her
opportunities offered in America under
the Democratic tariff law.
In June last we imported from Jap
an goods to the value of $29, ,000, 900
and in July to the amount Of $4,000
600, an increase of $4,000, 900. In the
same month we suffered a loss Of ex-
ports to Japan to the amount of $19,-
O00, 900, showing a total change In
Japan's favor to the extent Of $29,-
100000. In other words, Japan in en-
titled to call upon US for nearly S29,-
000,00 to balance the account for the
month of July. Manifestly, American
producers cannot compete on even
terms with the japanese.
But that is not all. In our trade
with China and India we suffered sim
liar reverses, with the result that our
total debt to the Orient on account Of
trade balances for July was $70,OO0,-
900. II that trend Of affairs shall
keep up, we shall soon have an ad-
verse trade balance with the Orient
Of more than 500 900, 900 per month.
Which would mean that every man,
woman and child in America would, on
an average, send a dollar a month 70
the Orient to pay the difference be-
tween our imports and our exports
to that portion Of the world.
League or no League, II Japan can
keep up the July record we shall not
break her heart, however badly we
may treat the "heart Of the world"

FRENH LIKE AMERICAN
CANNING

France--the land where everyone Is
supposed to be good cook-likes Am
erican methods of home canning.
Four demonstration workers
were lent to France by the United
States Department of Agriculture in
June. They were to give demonstra.
tions in the methods of home canning
which have proved popular in the Uni
ted States during the last decade.
Their work in France has been at
tended with marked success. The first
series of demonstrations was conclud-
ed early in August and the second was
started.
In the first series the work, as plan
ned by the Minister Of Agriculture and
carried out by the Americans, was
the teaching Of Agricultural leaders,
who in turn will teach the French
people. Among thost who attended
this first series were four directors Of
agricultural colleges, two chiefs, one
inspector general from the ministry
of agriculture, q professors from diff
ferent agricultural colleges, four
wounded French officers, the wives OF
some Of the professors, one directrice,
and two teachers of higher schools

fruit, vegetables, meat and fish. Be-
tween the two series course in can
ming has been given to girls from the
devastated areas. The second series
for the teachers of movable schools,
began the second week in August.
Other countries, following the exam
pie Of France, are asking for Ameri-
can demonstrators who can teach AM
erican methods Of home canning.

TIRE TAPE VERY USEFUL

HOW MUCH GRAIN TO FEED

Specialists Of the United States De-

try keepers to feed about quart OF
scratch grain and an equal weight OF
mnsh (about llh quarts daily TO IL
hens Of the general purpose breeds,
such as the Plymouth Rocks, Rhode
Island Reds or Wyandcttes, o. sbout
10 hens of the smaller or egg breeds.
This would be about 7E pounds of

The Road of Envy

Despite the pleasure and service
which the motor car has brought To
humanity, it is also true that no one
thing in the memory of modern mar
has inspired so much discomfort. Much
Of this is in the form Of envy. Most OF
those who walk envy those who ride
Those who ride with Henry Ford envy
those who go by in the six-cylinder
whizzerinos. The man with a high
priced car wants two of them or some
thing with deeper upholstery. The
man who has been raising family
on $50 a week is kicking for $50 in
order that he can begin making pay
ments on self-starting wheelbarrow.
The man who has already made most
of his payments complains because
gasoline is 22 cents gallon. No man,
either with or without car, is wholly
content and mostly the discomfort has
something to do with the car---or its
absence. People strike for money
enough to get car. Girls give them
selves for the price of four wheels.
Talk about your circles-there's moth
ing to it like the rubber Tire The
auto has become necessity of life and
those who have it not feel that they do
not really live. The world will never
be at rest until the conditions are
such as to enable every family TO have
a car and then it will be so blamed
restless that there will be no living

MANCHEsTER FAIR


The Manchester Fair this year wa'
well attended in spite Of the threaten
ing and rainy weather that prevailed
The first day WAS devoted TO III,
getting in Of the various exhibits anc
the attractions of the midway so that
when the crowd commenced 10 line uI
on the second day everything was in
good working order The crowd this
year was almost record breaking
one, it being estimated that taking all
three days there were about $500 per-
sons on the grounds.
While there was not particularly
large exhibit Of stock, that which was
there was Of a pronouncedly better
grade than has been the practice Of
sending for the past few years. Taken
all in all the concensus Of opinion
seems to be that the fair was better
than usual.
OF course the racing seemed TO be
the main attraction and we append the
result of the races.
The two ball games were between
teams from Arlington and East Dorset
in which the former beat in the first
game by score of to /, while the
last game was stopped at the end Of
the twelfth inning after a wrangle
over decisions of the umpire.
Three races Of the annual program
of Manchester Fair were completed on
Wednesday afternoon before record
crowd. Bell B., the property Of M. II.
Of Wallingford, won the 2:30
trot or pace in straight heats. Bower
Pride, owned by Geo. Vaughan Of
Glens Falls, took the last three heats
Of the 2:24 trot after being nosed out
inthe first heat by Old Folks. In the
third race which was for 2:20 pace or
PIG trot Axey Sprague, owned and
driven by Frank Church Of Cam
bridge, N. Y, won in straight heats.
The summary follows.

BOARD OF TRADE NOTES

There will be no attempt to cele.
brate Constitution Day in Manchester
as it has been impossible to make ar
rangements for a speaker and a meet
ing in the short time available.
1t was expected that pamphlets and
literature would be sent by the Ma
tional Security League. but up to We'd
nesday they had not arrived.
The object Of the celebration is very
laudable, but the state organization in
charge of the matter was evidently not
prepared to carry out the idea of the
associated societies who promoted the
idea.
W.. c. A. Rich, who was appointed
local director, requested that the pull
pit and schools devote some time to
the Principles of Democracy and the
Constitution and the pamphlets will be
distributed if they are received.

Galveston, Texas, Sept. l4-With a
SO mile wind, high tides and heav,
seas, the tropical storm struck Gal
weston this afternoon, tidewater from
the bay flooding the business section
of the city and the north side of the
island with three feet of water.
Huge waves broke harmlessly on the
sea-wall and there was no matreial
damage from the wind. Shipping in
this viciity weathered the storm. The
wagon bridge across the bay was not
damaged and tonight was open to traf-
fic.
Tonight the wind still was blowing
in gusts from sixty to sixty-five miles
an hour but the barometer was rising
steadily and the tide receding. The
maximum area flooded by back water
from the bay extended seven to nine
block from the bay front and the en-
tire length of the north side Of the
island.
The United States weather bureau
issued a bulletin late today saying
the danger TO Galveston had passed
but urging caution because of the high
wind.
With the exception Of the street car
system. which was forced to suspend
service early in the day, all public
utilities came through the storm in
tact.
Water was standing in Market
street, center Of the business section,
when some stores were thrown open
and emergency workers began carry
ing merchandise to top floors. The
work was finished before the water
entered the buildings. Wheat and
other grain stored in elevators await
ting export had been moving to the
mainland for two days and II was said
there WAS little left to be damaged.
More than one hundred train loads
of wheat were hauled out yesterday.
