Nation's "Balance Of Trade"

Balance sf trade" is an expression
used by political economists to indi-
cate the difference between the value
of the exports and imports Of a coun-
try. This theory of the balance of
trade grew out Of the mercantile
theory, which considers the possession
OF gold to be the chief object OF trade.
Hence, there rose the belief that a na-
ton increases in wealth to tie extent
that the money value of its exports
exceeds that of imports.

The brick company which is being
incorporated will probably locate its
plant on the railroad beyond the
trestle. Clay from several places in
that section has been sent to experts
to be tested. The company is forlu-
nate in having Nh. L. j. Mauney as
sociated with it, as he has had twelve
years of practical experience in
brick making. The company will
start with valuable experience with
out having to pay for it in heavy
losses as the business progresses. The
Advertiser is pleased to see so great
ly needed an enterprise launched
with such favorable prospects.

Sweetwater News in Brief.

It seems that winter has come back
again as we are having the coldest
snap of the season. Thermometer
registered 1s on the morning of the
9Th inst. Had a light snowfall on the
night of the 20 ult. which was rather
disappointing to the young people as
there was not enough snow on the
morning of the first, for good snow
balling or tracking rabbits. When we
saw the snow falling on Sunday night
we fully intended making some rab-
bits wish that they had been born
with wings.
1t is nearly corn planting time and
we are finding the ground frozen
stiff every morning. Fear that roast
ing ears will be late this year.
We are glad to hear that Mrs. S.
| w. Gardner is improving and hope
that she will soon be well again.
We were very sorry to hear of the
severe illness of Miss Matte Shaw,
but are glad to learn that she is much
better and hope she will soon be en-
tirely we'll. She is very much missed
by our Sunday school.
We were very sorry to learn that
flu had invaded the home of Mr.. and
Mrs. H. F. Cooper but were glad TO
hear it was in very mild form and the
patients are all on the road to re-
covery.
The bungalow of Mr.. L. S. Ste
phens is nearing completion.
1t looks mighty good from dis
tance and we are sure that it looks
even better on close inspection. We
certainly wish this worthy couple
many years of happiness in their
new home.
They are good neighbors, good
friends and all around good people.
We hope Mr.. j. M. Gardner will
soon finish his new home as he and
his family will make very valuable
addition to our neighborhood.

The Fight is On.

The ex-brewers and eX-distillers
are attacking the federal prohibition
law from every conceivable angle in
the courts, hoping to find vulner-
able point for an entering wedge.
Bot they will meet with about as
much success as the Gemans did at
Verdun. Doubtless the big lawyers
of the North and East are Turing
them on in the fight in order to ex-
tort large fees. Well, their money
came easy, so let them pay it out. In
the fight that is waging, the prohibi-
tionists are determined that victory
shall continue on the right side.
The fruits of prohibition are easily
discernable in the large cities, not
withstanding the fact that millions
of gallons of whiskey made before
the law went into effect is gradually
finding it's way on the illicit market.
After all of this stuff shall have been
consumed prohibition will then get
a Square deal" from the standpoint
of reducing crime.
The Appropriation Bill.
While the general appropriation
bill passed at the recent session ofthe
general assembly is the largest in the
history of the State, yet not dollar
has been needlessly or unwisely
spent.
In a recent address Governor
Cooper said, in effect, that we are
now in the midst of an era of un-
precedented material prosperity, but
unless the educational development
of our people is commensurate with
our material growth our prosperity
will prove curse rather than a
blessing. We believe all right-think-
ing, foward-looking people will echo
this sentiment. Whether consciously
or not, the legislature seemed to car
ry into effect the conviction or the
sentiment expressed by Governor
Cooper, as more than one-third of
the appropriation bill, S2,331 900,
was for education. No money spent
by the individual or the State brings
larger returns than that spent for
education.
The next largest single item was
that of practically 81, 100000 for the
maintenance of the State Hospital.
One can not visit this we'll managed
institution which provides home
and csientific treatment for its
1900 unfortunate inmates without
feeling that it should be supplied
with every dollar that it needs.
The third largest single item of
the appropriation bill is that of more
than 100000 set apart for Confed-
crate veterans and widows of veter-
ans. Who would not generously make
provision for these soldiers of the
sixties who will be with US to receive
their pittance but few more years?
A careful analysis of the appropri-
alton bill all along the line will show
that there was good and sufficient
reason for each item it carries. And
while it is larger than former years,
the increase for the maintenance of
the State and it's institutions is not
as great as the increased cost of liv-
ing to the individual.

 On board the@ yacht were 14,000, 900 rubIes in gold and paper and jewels.
 The elder Falzfein still grasped a pistol in his hand when his body was found and whether the party committed suicide or were murdered is a question that remains unanswered.
 An investigation is being made by the Rumanian authorities, aided by Russian friends of the two families. All that is known is that the two fam lilies fled from their estates to Odessa and when the bolsheviki arrived in February put their belongings on board the yacht. which was then lowed by a Russian steamer bound for Constanza- The tow ropes broke several times, owing to severe storms. and finally the yacht lost the steamer altogether and proceeded to Constanza.

SAN ANTONIO. Tex, April 16.- Army intelligence reports to southern department headquarters state that Francisco Villa is preparing to lend as- sistance to the revolution of Sonora against the Carranza government and that he will attack Chihuahua City, Parral and Jininez in the near future.
 The plan, it was stated at Fort Sam Houston. was given to army officers on the border by Villa agents. Villa was at Hecheceros. on the Chihuahua Coahuila line, yesterday.
 Villas present plan is to attack Chi huahua City first, but that will be changed if one of the other garrisons becomes weaker before he can strike, it was stated. Villa was said to haze agents with the Twenty fifth Mexican cavalry and the Sixty second and Sixty third Mexican infantry, which have moved to Casas Grandes, which is reported to be the base of operations for the Carranza force in dealing with the Sonora situation.
 The Villa agents will remain at Casas Grandes, advising their chieftain of federal troop movements. according to the plan. in order that Villa may move against the weakest Carranza garrison as his first step.
