Export Volume
Has Not Declined
VALUES ARE LOWERED BUT IN
MANY CASES VOLUME HAS
INCREASED.

Following the publication of the
statement of exports and imports OF
the United States for the month of
July this year, as compared with July,
1920, and for the seven months ending
July 81, last, as compared with the
seven first months of 1920, a certain
class of newspapers raised quite hull
labaloo about the decline of the COM
merce of the United States. Rabid
pro- Wilson papers attributed the al
legged awful collapse of Americas
commerce to failure of the Republican
Senate to subscribe to the Wilson
League of Nations Another section
of the Democratic press attributed
what it alleged to be collapse of
Americas foreign trade to the traif
policy of the Republican party.
Decline in Value.
AS Secretary Hoover, few days
ago, pointed out, in a statement to the
press, the drop in Americas foreign
trade is not as serious as a hasty
study of the figures would indicate.
This being true, it certainly is not as
serious as twisting of the figures by
partisan papers would indicate. Sec
rotary Hoover pointed out that the
apparently startling decline of our
foreign commerce was due to the very
great fall in prices Of all commodities
rather than fall in the volume Of
foreign trade. It should be remen-
bered in making a comparison, that
prices of all commodities for the first
seven months of 1920 were very much
higher than they have been at any
time since.
To illustrate Secretary Hoover's
point, four or five items may be cited.
The value of the exports in barley for
the month of July, 1921, was only
5000 greater than the value of bar
ley exports in July, 1920, whereas in
quantity 100000 more bushels of
barley were exported in July this year
than July last year. For the first
seven months, the reports show that
the value Of barley exports in 1921
was approximately 100000 less
than in 1920, but in quantity they
were approximately 100000 bushels
greater the first seven months this
year than the first seven months of
1920.
EApOILS luCIGdS6.
Take rice as another example. The
value of rice exports during the first
seven months of 1921 was less than
one-half that for the first seven
months of 1920, but in quantity it was
10O,0O0,00O pounds greater this year
than last.
In July this year, approximately
1 600, 900 bushels more wheat was ex-
ported than in July, 1920, yet the
value of wheat exports in July this
year was only $37,0OO,OO0 as against
$40, 000,0 900 in July, 1920. And so il
Illustrations might be multiplied.
All of which goes to prove our for
eign market has not collapsed; that
other nations have not stopped buy
of us, but, to the contrary, are buying
even greater quantities of some ar
ticles than they did last year or have
for many years. Prices are falling
all over the world, and the export
tables of other nations show the same
decline in valuation as those Of the
United States.

INDIAN is LEARNING RAPIDLY
Beginning After Many Years to See
That the Ways of the White
Man are Good.

In the old days he depended upon
the wild deer and the buffalo for food.
He lived in smoky rogan or tepee,
and when anyone died there, he burned
1t or moved away to keep the ghost Of
the departed from haunting him.
In the old days he fought against
the white men and collected paleface
scalps. Then he called upon his medi-
cine man to cast spells over the mis-
sionary and drive him away.
Today he is learning to farm and
raise cattle. He builds house like
the white mans with floors and cell
lar for vegetables, and sometimes a
corrugated iron roof. In case Of a
death in the new cabin he does not
burn 1t, but uses the white mans dis
infectants to fumigate the place.
Now he is beginning to understand
what the white Father" in Washing
ton is trying to do for him. He has
sent his full quota to our army in
France, and four-fifths Of the number
have been volunteers. He has sub
scribed nearly 100000 to the Liberty
loans. Three times out of four he
sends his children to school. Now forts
are disappearing, and churches are tax
ing leir place.

this:

How Suffering Tommy, Doomed -
Early Death, Attempted to Give
His Blanket 20 Yank Comrada.

"Yank, I'm only twenty-eight but
I'm an old man." said an English
Tommy just before we turned into
our sleeping rolls on the coolest night
that had experienced. And his aw-
full cough, the result Of being gassed
early in the war, when they had no
masks, added fatal testimony to his
statement.
All night long he coughed. About
midnight l. awoke shivering. From
his coughing I knew that he was
awake, said: Tommy, never was so
cold in my life," and then in few
minutes was asleep again.
An hour later was again awakened
by his violent coughing. To my sur
prise seemed to be warm and wonder

where he lay, saying: Tommy, did

replied: eyes, Yank. you said you were

But what about you?"
"Oh, me? I'm used to It."
"Well. all I got to say is, thank you !;

rushed up and said:

Mr.. Randolph almost knocked over a

stopped to turn her over.''

There may be recorded an amusing

him to forty winks, during which time

all others that said offspring was good
at, it was blowing his fathers horn.
Lewisfader was this and Lewisfader

as "Amal. /. s. & c." which had only
lately dared to swell its portentous
belly in the company of the most de-

financial world.
