BREWSTER FOR CONGRESS

The Times has been informed that
its splendid friend, Hon. Arthur T.
Brewster, of Iron county, has just
sent to the Secretary of State his
declaration to again make the race for
the Democratic Congressional nomina-
ton in this District, and it is our pre-
sumption that his formal announce
ment will soon make its appearance in
the various Democratic papers
throughout the District.
Mr.. Brewster was the Democratic
nominee for Congress two years ago,
and went down to defeat in what was
practically a Republican landslide in
this district, Notwithstanding the &C.
tive campaign he made. His defeat on
that occasion could not be ascribed in
any manner to personal weakness, as
he is a splendid campaigner. 1t was
wholly due to conditions with which
neither he nor his party had anything
to do. Therefore it is the opinion OF
his many friends that if he is again
declared the party nominee, he will
be returned the winner this year. The
Times will have more to say about
his candidacy later.

COUNTY SCHOOL NOTES

Reports from all over the county in
dictate that the School Board Conven-
ton to be held in the circuit court
room March 10, will be attended by
two or more representatives from
each district in the county. No eff
fort will be spared to make this con-
vention one which any persons really
interested in education can i'll afford
to miss. The County Superintendent
has decided not to have set pro-
gram this time. By set program he
means one in which number of spe-
cially prepared addresses are deliv-
cred. Instead, he has outlined num-
Der of subjects, an intelligent discus
sion Of which is Of paramount impor-
lance at this time, and will introduce
the Subjects one by one for general
discussion. He has called to his as
distance a number of leading educat-
ors, and expects also that many school
board members will participate freely
in the discussions. In addition to his
prepared outline, he will allow the va
rious school officials to introduce SUBJ
jects which they desire discussed in so
far as time will permit. He especial
ly requests that the persons attend
ing the meeting be prepared to ask
questions about the school law and in
fact anything pertaining to school adj
ministration, which, in their opinion,
may seem advisable to have more
light thrown upon.
Let everybody keep in mind and
steadily before them the date--March
13-and let everybody cooperate to
make this date an epoch making one
in st. Francois county educational
history.

THE FARMER, THE
." MAN OF THE HOUR

For the last three years, the farm
ers all over our country have been
leaving the farms, because what they
bought increased SO much more than
what they had to sell. Farmer boys
and farm help flocked to, the city,
where they could make two or three
times what they made on the farm,
and only work six or eight hours per
day, with all kinds of amusements in
the evening. Working under these
difficulties, the farmer will not strike
or let his fields go uncultivated, nor
the world go hungry. He is not I'M
patriotic. He furnished more than
one fourth of all fighting men. Of all
men, the farmers are disposed to be
fair and square He is the man of the
hour, for he is to feed the world. The
six million farmers in this country
sold twenty-four billion dollars worth
of produce last year. By work and the
aid of organizations, the farmer will
hold his boat steady in this time of
storm,

LATIN-AMERICAN TRADE

The foreign commerce of our Latin
American neighbors aggregated near
ly or quite $5,000000,000 in 1919,
against slightly less than $3,000,000,-
900 in 1918. Their aggregate popula-
ton is nearly 100,00O,000, and the area
of the Latin-American countries is
S,287,000 square miles.
Latin-American trade during and
since the war period has shown great
er fluctuations, says statement by
the National City Bank of New York,
than that of most other parts of the
neutral world. Prior to the war the
chief exports of the twenty countries
so designated were coffee, cocoa,
fruits, india rubber, tin, copper, nj
trates, wheat, meats, wool, and sugar.
The war cut off much of the Euro
pean markets for the coffee and cocoa
and fruits and rubber and tin, while,
on the other hand, it increased Euro
pean as well as American demands for
the other products, meats, wool, SUI
gar, copper, and nitrates. AS a conse-
quence, the grand total of exports of
Latin-America made but very slow
growth during the first half of the
war period, and the imports during
that period actually declined. The to-
tai exports of the twenty countries
classed at Latin-America were in
1913 $1,503 100000; in 1914, $685.
100000; in 1915, $1,671 100000; and
in 1917, $1,838 900 ,00pn Then in 1918,
when the ability Of Argentina, Uru-
quay, southern Brazil, and Chile to
supply meats, wool, and nitrates be-
came fully recognized, the exports
jumped to $2,378, 000,G 600, and in the
first year of peace, 1919, the continued
with the great advance in prices of
coffee and sugar and cocoa, brought
the grand total of Latin-American ex-
ports up to nearly or quite $3,000,-
000,0G0, as against $1,503, 100000 in
the year preceding the war.
The United States, says the Banks
statement, has Jared generously at the
hands Of her Latin-American neigh
bors during this period, Prior to the
war the Latin Americans were, as a
great group, taking only about % per
cent of their total imports from the
United States, while in 1919 they took
from us, as nearly as can now be es-
timated, as per cent Of their greatly
increased imports. Their aggregate
imports advanced from 81, 400 000, 900
in 1918 to about $4,000, 900, 900 in 1919.
Our total exports in Latin-America in
the fiscal year 1914, all of which pre-
coded the war, were $282, 200, 900, and
in the calendar year 1919 approxi-
mately S930,000,000 They increased
their imports about $500, 900, 900. while
our exports to them increased about
s650,00G,000 in the same period.

Large Capital Expenditures Re-
CURED, Says Hines-Impos-
sibie to Do All Now.

In order to keep pace with the
growth of business and production In
this country and the demand for In
creased transportation facilities an
enormous amount Of railroad work
must be done in the next few years
which will require the investment OF
billions OF dollars Of new money. This
Is essential not only to maintain the
railways at their normal high standard
of service and efficiency, but also to
make up for ordinary expansion and
improvement needs on existing lines
which were interrupted by the war
and to q large extent deferred alto
gether.
Railroad managers realize that even
IL the necessary new capital was avail.
able 1t would be practically a physical
impossibility for the railroads to ac'
complish any large part of this de-
, layed and accumulated work during
the present year. Consequently the
most vital needs of the railroads will
receive first consideration in the plans
for the immediate future so that the
public demands In the months of heavi
est traffic may be served as efficiently
as possible.
Vast Amount Of Work to Be Done.
Walker d. Hines, Director General
of Railroads under government con
troll, emphasized this task facing the
railroads after their return to private
operation In letter to Senator Alber'
b. Cummins, chairman Of Senate Inter
state Commerce Committee, and Rep
resentative John J. Esch, chairman o.
the House Committee on Interstate ant
Foreign Commerce. Mr.. Hines pre-
sented this phase of the railroad prob
lem to them in urging the necessit,
for pressing the, railroad Legislation
and to pointeutf that delay would "se
riously impair the public seryice b,
virtually suspending improvements an
the acquisition Of equipment"
''In order to keep abreast Of tn
growth of business In this country,
wrote Mr. Hines, at is indispensable
that railroads should continue to spen'
large sums In the acquisition of new
equipment, the enlargement and unifica

trade otherwise is in good condition.
1t is much more active than custom
airy of late, resulting in an advance of
Soc to SOC on beef steers, while cows,
heifers, mixed cattle and stock cattle
are fully 25c higher.
Beef steers So to SIS; stockers and

HOGS.-Low levels were in force
week ago today when the very best
light hogs attracted at STATS top.
Since there has been more aggression
and better competition to the market
and a general advance has followed.
Today's top made $l5.40, showing a
net advance during the weeks inter-
val Of SOC to Csc per cwt., light hogs
$50 to 200 pounds sharing in the
strongest end of the advance. Condi-
tions in this department, like cattle,
are more encouraging, but whether
the trend of the market will continue
along this basis rests solely with. what
attitude the country displays in liquid
ating its holdings.

SHEEP.--Supply is small but the
market has shown no aggressiveness,
still selling rates are about as high as
they were a week ago today, though
there is this much difference; at this

they worked on a ratio of 25c to SOC
less than the top.
