For the Good of
 the Community

XX7HAT is trade? It is exchanging w what one has for that which an other has.
 What is money? The representation of the goods that are exchanged. There would be no excuse for money and there would be no money if men could assemble at market places conveniently and make the exchange of goods.
 How will a man get the money with which to purchase the things that he wishes? By the other man paying him money for what the other purchases from him. Swapping dollars runs deeper than the cant expression goes.
 For example. The Mobile Importing and Trading Company has begun the es- tablishment of what the Mobile news papers declare is rapidly developing into a large business with the islands of Qua deloupe, Dominica, Martinique and San Domingo. How did 1t come about?
 The Mobile Register says: While other concerns have been sending men to these islands to see what could be SOLD there, this company has sent represen- tative at frequent intervals to see what could be BROUGHT from that country. Result?
 The Lake Fife, which arrived at Mobile from these British West Indies few days ago, had on board ss2, 800 boxes of lines, 5OO boxes~of oranges, five barrels of nut ; megs, ten hogsheads of lime juice, 100 sacks of cocoanuts and fifty gallons of honey.N All this is very palatable stuff and is a daily article of barter and sale in every city of the United States.
 What will be the further result? The natives of these islands will receive money for their products and with that money they will reach out for American iron beds, automobiles, wire fencing, typewriters, woolen and cotton manu- factures and the like. The money Will come back to us in due season.
 It is, therefore, good to learn that this company is putting on regular salllngs with these little peoples. Many ot us must get down the geography to locate some of them. We should use our geogra- phies much more than we do. Chile sends nitrate to the Birmingham district: the district sends back thousands of tons of coke for it's copper smelters Brazil is shipping manganese ore to our steel works; our steel mills are sending back wire and wire fencing and our pipe shops are supplying municipal water and gas mains.
 Only one-fourth of our cotton crop IS consumed in the southern states. The northern American mills take another fourth. One-half goes to other nations. How do we get the money for this export ed cotton? By taking goods that the other nations porduce; silks from China and Japan, sugar and coffee from Java, linens from Ireland, faces from Belgium and France, hides from Argentina, rubber ' from Brazil These products are trans latable in their common representative, money.
 The outside nations beg us to ship them all sorts of stuff. The nearer the port through which we ship to the scene of pro- duction the less it costs to move our pro ducts to these other peoples. The less it costs to deliver the goods, the greater the net return to the shippers.
 The port of Mobile is the answer for Alabamians It cannot be the port of ade- ouate facilities to handle our business un- i-. IL o ov,+;ro r,nxvor and credit of fha

ENGLAND RECEIVES FIRST
MANGANESE SINCE WAR

Minneapolis, Nov. 10.-An Amer
lean vessel, the Jomar of the Green
Star line, has reached England carry
ing the first cargo Of Manganese to
that country since the world war
Four months ago the Jomar left New
York harbor with cargo of Amer
lean -four for Armenia, which was
sent by the Near East Relief. After
discharging the flour, the Jomar was
loaded with Manganese at the
Georgian port of Poti..
The steel men of England were
especially eager to receive this cargo
of Georgian Manganese, as it is re-
puted to be the best in the world
Manganese is one of the essentials
in the manufacture of steel and the
English steel mills have been desper-
ate for it since the outbreak OF
the war.
For the past eighteen months the
British mission in the nTiflis and
Batoum have tried to gain control of
the Georgian Manganese output, and
have only received the first cargo
now. 1t was impossible to get this
product out of the Black Sea while
the Turks held Constantinople. Then
when the Russian revolution broke
out all work in these> mines was
stopped and during the last year and
a half Of disturbed conditions nothing
could be done to get the Manganese
mined and delivered to Poti for ship
ment.
The Georgian government has TAX
en- over all mines and operates them
as government affair. The product
is then disposed of on barter basis.
Manganese is sought by steel manu-
facturers everywhere and is ex-
changed for agricultural and cleo
trical machinery. household and cook
| ing utensils, and all sorts of articles
that are lacking in the Transcaucasus.
In this manner the constant f1uctua-
ton in the foreign exchange rate on
the rouble is absorbed. Otherwise
