ADOPT PLAN TO CARE
FOR SICK AND BABIES

A unique method of relieving dis
tress among the babies, the sick and
the aged in Germany has been adopt
ed by the German-born population
of the United States. The greater.
need being for a sufficient supply
of milk, orga nizations have been
started to appeal to German-born
farmers, Of whom there is a quarter
of a million in this country, for the
donation of mich cows to be shipped
abroad,
The American Dairy Cattle COM
pany organized in Chicago by influen-
tial American of German origin, is a
notable example of this style of or
ganization and works in cooperation
with the German government in Ber-
lin The cows presented to it are
gathered in carloads in various parts
of the country and forwarded.

The Trend of Prices.
(Ford's International Weekly.)

Prices going to slide." one hears wherever men meet. It is said with air of conviction, not as year ago with a touch of hope. and it is the conviction back of the air that in the end will make them slide.
 There are indications now of prospective fall Here and there shading off has come, and though in many lines there is not trace of lower prices, the public feeling that drop is coming has had food keep it alive
 Now this cautious buying not only by the buying for himself but the merchant who serves him There is not the old attitude of, I'll take it. What's the price?' but careful con sideration what the price is, what the price has been. and a guess what the price may be.
 Every sign points to a gradual return to more nearly normal pricing not great collapse Of prices not even a recession of those hacyon days of 1914 when people thought they knew something of the high of living, but simply trend downward and away from the freak bounds that have become such irritating part of our lives
 Expectation is whetted, even beyond the bounds Of probability There will be dsappointments, of course, and people will pay fairly high prices this autumn and winter but it seems evident that the peak has been reached.

TENNESSEE OVER TOP.

Tennessee IL still the Volunteer state.
Her over subscription of her allotment
OF stock In that big southern export
corporation proves that Her people
still have the genius OF leadership.
There never was very much OF pater-
nallsm In Tennessee. When, therefore,
the south undertook to help itself out
OF the transient financial and econom-
ic difficulties incidental to readjust-
ment and reconstruction. II was in
evitable that Tennessee would do her
part toward making the movement
success. She was asked to contribute
$500, O0O-she responded with 100000!
Since the contamination OF this pio-
neer southern enterprise has been as
sured, n mammoth nationwide organi-
cation is being canvassed. Its forma-
tion Will doubtless soon be announced.
A capital stock OF 500. 900. 900 has been
tentatively suggested. Tho peculiarly
disorganized situation In Europe makes
1t necessary that foreign trade trans
actions be carried on, in many In
stances, through the de facto govern
ment Notably Is this the case in Rus
STA This Is the impelling cause for
giant trade organizations on this side.
They are to be clearinghouse for for
eign export trade.
Unfortunate financial conditions
abroad are at present the great handi-
cap on American foreign trade. Ex-
change Is and continues at very low
ebb, which operates to paralyze the
market for American cotton and food
products. From such n situation,
strong financial organizations are nee
essary to bring about even partial re-
lief, That, briefly stated, Is the state
Of affairs which has prompted the for
nation OF the institutions outlined
above. Furthermore. 1t signifies that
American interests are moving for their |
own relief instead OF appealing to the
government
Self help is the best kind of help. 1t |
Is the most dependable. And this is |
especially true Of the south. The south |
can take care OF itself once It sets |
about the task with determination. II |
does not need to implore outside as

ing out present or future problems is
self confidence and mutual co-opera-
ton. The promptness with which Ten

export corporation indicates that those
qualities are not wanting.

scHWAe ON REIMBURSEMENT.

Charles NJ. Schwab has j keen in
situation. He clearly comprchends the
elements involved in continuance OF
the eountry's prosperity, or rather, Of
its recovery from the temporary slump
Broadly speaking. these are nut two,
the readjustment from a wartime to
a normal basis and the sterilization
OF European conditions We should
hardly go to the extreme. however, OF
saying that "the severer the readjust-
ment storm the quicker It will be over.
Severe storms leave wreckage the re-
building OF which requires time.
We believe the worst of the storm.
II you want to call 1t that, is already
over. This belief Is induced by the
fact that certain industries are forg
ing straight ahead, reducing neither
wages nor production. They are even
trying to increase production to COM
pensate for lower market prices for
their products. Those which have sus-
pended or reduced production will soon
be going again either with or without
n lower wage scale This must neces-
sarily be so. for there are no great
stocks of accumulated products. Buy
ing will be resumed which will result
In the reopening OF the mills
The foreign situation is more diff
cult AS Mr.. Schwab observes, we are
getting into position where the world
owes us immense sums with no money
20 pay us. II IL doubtful whether
.'war finance corporation" or other
scheme for extending further credits
will bring much relief. Conditions must
be tranqulized In Europe before 1t can
again become dependable customer.
Even then we can't go on selling to
Europe indefinitely, or hope to collect
present debts, unless we also buy of
her. Lending TO n customer in order
that he may continue to trade with us
las its limitations.
For all that, however, we believe
that conditions even in Europe will
steadily improve. They are getting
down to work over there. Tourists and
American relief work are taking many
millions over there which come back
to us for food and clothing. A method
OF supplying larger quantities of our
cotton to European industries will also,
we believe. soon be devised. We are
optimistic enough to look for per-
ceptible Improvement early In the new
year.
