She is drawing a salary of 1915 a
year. By remaining next year she
would get the maximum of $720 a
year. Pretty good for a woman,
some one says. Maybe so, but let's
figure a little.
Each month she pays out $40 for
board and laundry. That leaves her
$35. Multiply $35 by nine and you
have 1915. With that sum she must
live year. Look over the. items
with her.
She must have board for the six

up to her but it costs money, just the

and forth home, attending institutes,
teachers associations, etc. Incident
ly she must clothe herself. If she
trys to skimp little somebody starts

etc. OF course clothes cost next to
nothing these days. She has to pay
doctors and druggists bills, some
times, and every call of doctor just
about takes a days salary. If she

about $500 paralyzes her. Dentists
and opticians frequently make her
acquaintance and her check book
keeps her from forgetting the incl
dent of their meeting. She feels that
she must carry insurance and the
premium on a single thousand eats
up the margin for a month. Of course

Imports Are Steadily Increasing

The extent of Europe's economic recovery
may be measured with fair degree of accurancy
by the steadily increasing volume of imports
into the United States.
Of the thirteen billion dollar foreign trade for
the fiscal year just ended, more than five bill
lion REPRESENTED imports, an increase of more
than two billion dollars over 1919. Our excess
Of exports over imports in this period was 80 per
cent less than that of the preceding year.
This shows one thing conclusively-foreign
countries are hard at work. Our trade pre-
emiaence is not invulnerable, neither have the
great industrial countries decided to let us hold
the markets of the world without struggle.
We sometimes forget that powerful foreign
countries, bending every industrial effort to
manufacture the sinews of war for four years,
depended upon us for raw materials, supplies of
food and manufactured articles. They bought
freely and were compelled to pay what we asked.
Today change is noted. These nations are
striving to relieve themselves of the necessity of
paying enormous sums of money for our prod

ucts by speeding up the production of their own
industries. They are trying to supply their own
needs and to manufacture a surplus to be sold in
the markets Of the world.
The foreign trade figures of our country for
the last fiscal year show how far they have al
ready succeeded in carrying out their plans.
able strides in regaining markets from which she
was excluded by war conditions. A commercial
nation for many centuries, possessing ripe ex-
perience gained by her business relations with
the people of many nations, endowed with keen
business acumen, Great Britain has not stood by
idly since the armistice was signed but has sent
her commissions into the markets of the world
to report conditions. On the basis of this data
she has adapted her industrial and commercial
endeavors to present conditions and is rapidly
forging to the front.
The United States has been slow in appre-
ciating fully the necessity of an adequate foreign
trade When normality is attained here we will
need other markets to absorb our surplus prod
ucts. We will find that other nations will meet
US with keen competition on the points of price,
quality and deliveries.
We will not be met with brotherly love and
glad shouts from our competitors, but will be
forced to depend upon our resourcefuness to sell
our goods.
American business men have enough common
sense to know that the idealism of international
harmony and goodwill do not prevail in CONNER
cial affairs; nor in political affairs either.
Ability to sell good quality cheaper than your
competitor and to make speedy delivery is the
factor that will count most

Good Evening

TO THE NEW BABY


There's many a sight that is good to
see,
That will gladden. your willing eye;
The roll of the surf, the purpling hills,
Or the light from a sunset sky.
The picture of grazing COWS at peace,
And the cool of the wooded dells,
The odor of new-mown hay - how
The message each story tells!
The clang of an anvil far away.
Or your favorite sons refrain;
The twitt'ring birds when the rain
bow comes
Is the music Of youth again.
There's much in this wonder.world to
love
That the world can understand
But ne'er will you know a thrill so
AS the touch of your baby's hand!

Today's Talk
By GEORGE Matthew Adams
FEATHER.BED EXISTENCE

Reactions are the most dangerous
things that come to experience.
During the great war there seemed
to be no hardship or sacrifice too great
for the ordinary man or woman to go
thru. The cost was not counted-or if
1t was, 1t was dismissed in the light of
the thing desired.
But now that he reactions have set
in, the world seems to be hunting out
some kind Of feather-bed upon which it
may rest in ease while some other
world does its work for it.
We are getting too close to feather
bed existence.
When Roosevelt wrote to his friend
Sewell to come "out West" to his
ranch. he told him frankly that it
meant great hardship and work, as
we'll as privation and danger; and that
the start, for unless he was ready to
go thru it all and not be sorry after,
he had better not come.
Well, Sewell went-for he had as
much contempt for the feather-bed life
as did Roosevelt.
1t can never be too greatly empha-
sized that the life Of ease and comfort
is the life Of a whitening interest and
of an existence without a chance for
service and power.
Stevenson, in one of his delightful
essays, has this to say: ITO hold a
pack upon a pack-saddle against gale
of the freezing north is no high in
dustry, but it is one that serves to
occupy and compose the mind"
And so it matters not what one does
so long as there is doing. And so
long as that doing amounts to some
thing that is useful to ones own
mental, or physical, or spiritual pro-
sress-or to the growth and better
ment Of someone else.
II YOU do not want to work, there is
something most seriously the matter
with you. And you should find cure
which remedy is none other than
work itself!
