OUR FOREIGN TRADE.

The value OF our foreign exports in
August was S5S4, 100000. or a decrease
OF S62,0O0.00o compared with August
1919. On the other hand, the value OF
our imports for August was S5i9.000,-
900. or S2i2.000000 more than the value
OF imports for August, 1919.
Our exports for the eight months
ended with August amounted to S5,4S3,-
100000, or an increase Of 100000
Cor the same months of 1919. During
the same period our imports amounted
to S4.0Oo.0O0,000, or a gain of Si.73S,-
100000 over the first eight months OF
1919.
With this gradual decline in our ex-
port trade there is at the same time a
rapid growth in our import trade
which threatens the stability of many
industries in this country.--Manufac

My mother in laws convalescence

sudden illness had been. Upon the
morning of the day which was to see
the beginning of my work with the
Lotus Study Club, she was so bright
and strong at her breakfast that
Miss Sonnet said smilingly:
IF you are very careful this morn

you did yesterday, and may come to

as there anything you would par
ticularly like for Iuncheon?" the little
nurse asked quickly. She got along
admirably with her testy patient, yet
without any loss of her own dignity.
I envied the quiet tact which enabled
her to smooth things over, and ignore
the Grabbed speeches of the elder
woman.

prompt as her decisions always are:
"Broiled lamb chops, mashed po-
tatoes, French peas and lettuce

Katie about them at once" l said

AN OBJECT LESSON
 TO STOCK RAISERS

Under the cooperative plan, the farmers shipped a car load of hogs from urdon January 5 and received a total of $2,30O for the 119 head. Will the people of Nevada County ever awake to the fact that without a county agricultural agent we are los ing thousands of dollars every year through the lack of men to look after the agricultural interests? The far mers everywhere are making more money shipping livestock under the cooperative plan than by any other method, but this cannot be accom- plished by letting dozen individuals have charge of the loading, shipping and marketing one man is all that is needed and this would comein the line of the county demonstration agents work.-Prescott News, Sat urday.

He Opposes Officers Re-
ceiving Foreign Medals.
SIMS WRITINGS SCORED
Articles Characterized as Con-
tanning GratuitOus Reflec-
tiOn on Whole Irish Race

Washington, Feb. Tn concluding
mittee investigating naval awards
Secretary Daniels declared TODAY he
was against American naval officers
receiving foreign medals, and said
Read Admiral Sims approved of it.
He accused Sims of belittling the work
of the American forces, by making
injudicious statements.
Trouble between American ambassa-
miral Decker and Lieutenant Com
mander Cusachs, naval attache, was
also aired.
Daniels also told the committee a
medal had been conferred on Thomas
A. Edison in recognition of his sery-
ices as head of the naval consulting
board but that Edison refused it aft
er the controversy over naval awards
arose, saying he served for the love
OF his country and not for reward
or decoration
Daniels said that Sims, in his writ
ings, included "Gratutious reflection
on the whole Irish race" and he wish
ed he had required Sims to submit
his writings before making them pub
lie.
After congress passed a law permit
ting American officers to accept deco
rauons from foreign governments
President Wilson directed the state
department to inform all European
governments that the United States did
not wish any awards made, Secretary
Daniels disclosed today before the SEN
ate committee investigating naval
awards.
Before the president acted, Mr.. Dan
lels said, Rear Admiral Sims had been
informed by the chief of the bureau

BIG CROWDS SEE
DOCK GO OVER
Launching Was Without Hitch !;
New World Record for Con-
Struction of Section.

In the presence of the largest crowd
the Bruce Dry Dock company the third
section of the dry dock went into the
water. The launching took place
promptly at PAS yesterday afternoon,
without an accident or hitch in the
program. The gates of the company
were thrown open to their many
friends and visitors after the lunch
hour and the plant was crowded by
Pensacola people who took advantage
of the invitation to make a tour Of
the plant.
With the launching of the section
yesterday the big five sectioned dock
is more than half completed and the
port of Pensacola is nearer a home
for shipping. The remaining two sec
tions will be launched by the first of
April if plans of the company and the
contractors go through, making the
building of the dock almost a record
of America.
The third section was completely
finished and in the water within SO
working days after it was started,
making a world record in time Of
completing a section of a dry dock.
The Aberthaw Construction company
is building the dock and pushing,
every facility for completing it by
April l. The Morris dock, New York,
comes nearest the record of launching
which was broken yesterday. A sec
ton was completed within AZ days
after it was started. 1t was in larger
sections, but engineers stated yester
day that a larger number of work
men were able to work at one time on
sections than are able to work on the
smaller sections hnd Pensacola is
claiming a world record in construc-
ting sections.
The fourth section of the dock will
be launched about March 1 and the
final section about April 1. Work
on the fourth section has already been
started, the base, poontoons and other
parts being completed. The side walls
and flooring remain to be finished but
it is hoped to have it launched by the
first of next month. Work on the
final section will be started this week
and will be laid out on the runway
from which the section was launched
Yesterday. Following the completion
of the fourth section efforts will be
concentrated upon the final and work
will be rushed on it until launched.
The Aberthaw Company has been
awarded the contract for erecting the
other buildings of the plant, which in
cIudes boiler, woodwork, machine
shops and others.
