KENYON RIDDLE MADE
SOME GOOD ARGUMENT.

Kenyon Riddle, formerly Of Abb
lene but now city manager OF
Xenia, o., at $4,000 year, made
an address at the annual convention
of city managers at Roanoke, Va,
few days ago, which had lot of
good sense He pleaded for raising
enough money to run a city usefully
and showed how people spend on
themselves but will not spend on the
things that make city worth while.
He said:
Comparisons are interesting. A
man may smoke a 5-cent cigar; say
he smokes six a week. That cigar
has increased during the last two
years to Z cents. That is an in
crease of . cents apiece on each
cigar. If he smokes six cigars a
week ana three hundred year, that
comes to SO for the increased price
of cigars alone. If we We're to in
crease our levy one mill, citizens
property valued at $4,000, would
bring us So additional. and the aver
age citizen would kick like a steer
at this increased price But he will
pay SO additional on cigars without
complaining
Xenia has population of 10000
and raises $4,000 in taxes. Last
year under the city manager system
it had balance of $4,000 at the end
of the year

PREVENT HOG CHOLERA
BY USING MUCH CARE

The local government agent, VINO
has been working to prevent th'
spread of hog cholera gives these
rules for keeping the disease IRON
further extension:
Locate your hog lots and pastures
away from streams and public hlgh-
WAYS. and do not allow your hogs u
RIM on free range or highways.
DO not visit your neighbor's farm
nor allow him to visit you if he mas
hog cholera on his premises.
Do not drive into hog lots after
driving on public highways.
Do not use hog lots for yarding
wagons and farm implements.
Do not place newly purchased
stock. stock purchased or borrowed
for breeding purposes, Immediately
with your herd. Keep stock quaran-
tined in separate pens for at least
two weeks, and use care in FEEDING
and attending stock to prevent carry
ing infection from these to other
pens.
Burn to ashes or cover with quick
lime and bury under four feet Of
earth, all dead animals and the Wis
cera removed from animals at butch
ering time, because they attract buz-
yards. dogs, etc, which are liable to
carry hog cholera infection.
If hog cholera appears in the
neighborhood confine your dog ana
encourage your neighbor to do the
same.
Mango, lice and worms lower the
vitality Of hogs, rendering them
more susceptible to disease.

STEALING MOTOR CARS FAST.
Fords and Bucks Seem to Be Most
Popular.

An unusual number of automobile
thefts is reported in Kansas. In the
last few days. reports have come In
from about thirty Kansas towns and
villages, many Of them reporting the
first car thefts ever known in the
town. The data is compiled in the
office of the Anti Automobile Thief
Association and sent out to the
newspapers. The last list compiled
shows Il number of interesting fea-
lures, one of which Is the fact that
about one third of the cars stolen IN
the last few days have been Bucks
and practically all of the others
Fords. No one seems able to account
for the number of Bucks that are
being stolen but the fact remains
that they are being picked up daily
in all parts of Kansas.
Neodesha has lost five or six in the
last few weeks. One or two goes
out Of Wichita almost every night.
1t Is said that almost all of them
find their way to Kansas City ana
Tulsa, Okla, although it is certain
that many of the stolen cars are now
being run to the Texas oil fields.
Some of the cars were double pad
locked and one in garage with burg
lar alarm.

ORGANIZED TO PROMOTE
U. S. TRADE WITH CHINA
Chicago to Be Headquarters Of Ma
tional Chinese Chamber Of
Commerce.

The Chinese Industrial and Com
mercia1 Association Of Chicago, the
first Of its kind in the United States,
has been established. The organiEa-
tion Of this association will be follow
ed by the formation Of branches in
other cities of the country. which will
eventually combine into a Chinese
Chamber Of Commerce Of America.
The aim Of the association 10 to fur
ther commercial relations between the
two countries and to interest Ameri-
can capital An China. Coincident with
the opening OF tho new association
was the announcement Of tho forma-
tion of a now Chinese steamship limo.
toward which 100000 has been sub
scribed by Chinese merchants in San
Francisco.
Among tho many Chinese guests
who attended the opening ceremonies
was DR.. Chilien Tsur. consul general
at New York. who urged that Ameri-
can capitalists become Interested in
China before other nations get such
a hold that they can dominate tho
financial interests Of China, The con-
sui stated that the commerce Of
China with this country would be
greater now but for tho reason that
China has no shipping and Japan has
made her freight rates SO high for
China and the rates for her own
goods so low that China has had iit-
tie chance to compete. He anticipates
great benefit from tho new shipping
company.
Chicago was chosen as the center Of
activity Of the new association be-
cause of its strategic position in the
export trade. 1t ia expected that a
consul general for Chicago will be
sent out from China in the near fu-
ture.

JAPAN GOES TO GERMANY
FOR SCIENTIFIC TRAINING
Toxic Planning to Send Students
There, as in Days Before
the War.

Japan plans to expand her educa-
tional system greatly in the next few
years and is sending 440 students
abroad to be trained as teachers for
the new colleges and schools. Ger
man scientific training Will be sought
as before the great war.
The department of education is
recruiting students to be sent to
America and Europe from the grad
yates of the imperial universities and
other government educational fnsti-
tutions. Each viii receive all trav-
cling expenses and approximately
s125 per month while preparing to be
teachers in the mikado's land.
Germany, prior to the European
war. was selected for a great mum Der
Of Japan's students. but since that
time America has received the greater
number. An Official OF the ministry
or education is quoted as stating that
most of the medical students, as well
as those studying pure science, will
once more be sent TO German uni
versities: while those in applied
science will go to the United States,
art students to France and me-
chanical engineers to England
Furthermore. Japan's department Of
education believes in helping jap
anese students IN their native land
The government has dec ded to es-
tablish 400 schola rships for Imperial
University students. The assistance
viii amount to 30 yen month
which will be sufficient to relieve
many students OF the hardships
through which they now go to oh

sal, which is apparently meeting with
favor In France. is made not SO much
as a matter of poetic justice as of
sound economics. NJ. Huffel thinks
that about five years would be re-
duired to carry out his program, and
that il would take alb. 100. .9oo, 900
days work-that is, the labor of
about $4,000 Germans for five years.

j. s. CLAIM FIRST
ON CAPITAL HERE
Then American Loans Should
Go to Europe, Financial
Authority Contends.
TRADE GAINS SECONDARY

The tendency today is to overempha
size the value of foreign investment in
developing foreign trade, it is declared
In the initial issue of Commerce
Monthly, journal of commerce and
finance published by the National
Bank of Commerce in New York, which
aserts that both good business and
good citizenship demand that first
place be given to American enter
prises and to the reconstruction needs
of Europe in the investment of Amer
lean capital.
There is no magic in foreign trade,
the bank says. and the theory that in
vestment in foreign countries neces-
sarily results in stimulated export
trade to the investing country Is
called "the great Illusion" The arti-
Gle, entitled "Apportioning American
Capital" says:
Should Be Divorced.
"Our foreign trade policy and our
foreign investment policy should be
divorced; foreign investments should
he concentrated in Europe. while our
foreign trade may be expected to ex-
pand with non-European countries.
The capital of the world is scarce and
will be scarce for many years after
the war. 1t must be wisely utilized.
As claimants for the new capital of
America, the United States and
Europe must have first place. This
should not, however, preclude Amer
lean investment in non-European for
eign countries where extraordinary
opportunities exist. We should seek
10 apply capital in the places where it
will do most good, wherever they are;
and not all these places are in the
United States or Europe.
Just as the general statement that
the Rockies are higher than the Ap-
palachians does not mean that all hills
Of the Rockies are higher than all the
hills of the Appalachians. SO the gen.
eralizatfon that Europe and America
must come first as claimants for
Americas capital does not mean that
they should get all Of it. But we must
remember that America was a debtor
country before the war, and that
country undergoing rapid develop
ment in Unsuitable in it's demands for
new capital. The interests both of
American business men and of Amer
lean laborers are jeopardized if our
foreign investment policy goes too
far.

Trade Expansion Inevitable.

'The argument that we must lend
to non-European countries to develop
our export trade with them is false.
Our trade with non-European coun-
tries, both exports and imports. will
expand without this stimulus as
consequence of Europe's reduced abil-
ity to trade. 1t is not necessary to
take unusual steps to develop the
sources of raw materials. Raw mate
rails will be relatively more abundant
than finished products for some years
following the war, since the destruc-
tion of the war has been concentrated
in the manufacturing regions Capt.
tai in general is scarce, but gold we
have in superfuity and We can make
specific gold loans freely.
Grave responsibility rests on those
who choose the foreign investments
Of great people. England alone of
the major investing countries had
really mastered the problem before
the war. We dare not substitute en-
thusiasm for science in dealing with
It."
