 The letter 'G", it seems to me- might stand for generosity. A spirit that inspired you and the people at home to make sacrifices. From the day your mother said goodbye to you until she clasped you in her arms again there was spirit of generosi- ty and sacrifice burning in her heart.
 'I'' might stand for independence, for after all that was what the war was fought for.
 70" stands for one, hundred per cent Americanism. Nothing else | should be allowed in our country.
 The last letter "N'' stands for Ma tion. We can't dilute our American patriotism. We must develop here in our country a national spirit. 1 It seems to me that here in our community we should bring together | our sons and daughters and encourage and develop an organization such as this.

the years immediately preceding the war.
 The year 1913 was fairly repre- sentative trade year with Russia. Her exports, which amounted to $3S9 ,000,- GOO in 1890, and $369, ,000. .0on- in 1900. had crossed the $500, 100000 line in 1907 and averaged a little over that sum
 $710, ,000, ,000, and averaged nearly $S00,00o,000 year in the three years 1911, 1912. and 1913, her official fig ures of exports for 1913 being 1,520.- 900 900 rubles, equal to 100000
 (United States currency at the pre- war value of the rubleC. Her imports in that year were 1874. 4.000, 900 rubles, equal to s7o6,000,00e, the largest in her history. She had always lived with her income" her imports being almost invariably slightly less than her ex- ports.
 What did she export in this latest normal year 1913? Chiefly wheat, bar ley, wood in various forms flax. eggs,
 butter, and petroleum, stated in the relative order of their value. These seven articles formed considerably | more than one-half of her total ex- ports in the year breeding the war. | Wheat exported amounted to about | 120,000,000 bushels. though in 1910 it | exceeded 200,000,000 bushels.
 | What. were her chief imports in 1913, 1 theiJ year of her highest purchases abroad? Raw cotton. coal. manufac- | turers of iron and steal. wool. rubber, agricultural machinery, and mis- cellaneous manufactures. Cotton
 amounted to over $5O,000. 900; coal
 about $40, ,000. 900: iron and steel man. ufacturers about s35.O00. 900: and agri- cultural machinery S25, ,000, 900.

 imports were from Germany; 13 per

 Thirty per cent. to. Germany; r per

 Russian official figures on her com 2 merce with the United States diffel
 radically from United States officia figures on her trade with Russia. Rus } sian figures of imports in 1913 show
 total of s40,000, 900 from the Unitet States. while our figures of exports t I that country in the same year are bu g $27.000,000. Her figures of exports L

If Russia comes back into the trade world, what will she have to sell and what will she want to buy?
