by the board of directors, pursuant
to instructions made at a mass
meeting held before the election, a
movement is now under way to
build an addition to the high
school. A generously signed peti-
tion is in the hands of the school
clerk asking the school boai to
call a special election at an early
date to vote on the question OF
bonding the district for $4,000 for
the construction of the needed ad-

equipment for the building. ta.-
rons of the district, it is said, see
the need of more room and it is
believed that the bond issue called
for in the petition will be carried
If the election is held. The oppnsi-
tion at the last election was based
on the theory that the district can
not afford to build a gymnasium at
this time.

Albany Merchants
Are VictimiZed by
Bad Check Artist

Albany. Ore, March 15.- Fred
Manning, a freckled-faced, light
eomplexioned young man with one
finger missing from his right hand,
is very much wanted in local po-
lice circles to account for three
checks aggregating $31 in amount,
passed on three local merchants
yesterday. Where Manning came
from and where he went is as yet
a mystery.
The checks were for $40, $t1.50
and $3.50 passed at the Holman &
Jackson, Townsend and Sears gro
Gerry stores respectively. The name,
Lester Katz" is signed to each
check. The signature is obviously
in the same handwriting as the
inscription upon each check, the
city marshal says.

Revision Of 1870 figures.
There Is to be a revision of the
1920 crop figures, judging from the
reports. This has been the practice
OF the department for several years
past One thing the grain trade
would like to know is why the re-
visions Of the previous seasons
crop are not announced early in
tho season, SO that the trade can
make proper comparisons. This
would be preferable to holdiag
made for the last growing season.
They would be more beneficial and
probably cost the producers and
the grain trade less money were
they given out earlier. It must be
that the department has the data
regarding the previous seasons
crop long before the end of the
following year.

were almost equally divided, A

while a similar comparison for the
same week In 1920 shows that s5
out of los changes were downward.
Heavier marketings than expect
ed and the absence of important
buying depressed wheat in the early
trading and the yielding In this

grade butter was strong early in

were very weak. as receipts were

All hstu rShOVs Suh'
This Official record Of the growth
of India's importations from the
United States, says the Trade
Record of the National City Bank
of New York, is illustrative of the
growth in the share which the
Orient generally is making In our
export trade. Prior to the war, the
share of our exports sent to Asia
as a whole was only as per cent,
advancing to ga per cent in 1916,
rs per cent in 1918. So per cent in
1919. 80 per cent in 1920. and lo.l
per cent In the ten months of 1921
for which figures are now available.
The total value of our exports to
Asia advanced from S115,o0o,oo0 in
1914 to S772.0oo,o00 in 1920, and will
be about $500, 0oo, 200 in the calen-
dar year 1921. The fall-off in the
exports to Asia in October, 1921,
the latest month for which figures
are available, is far less than that
to any other of the grand divisions,
the reduction in the October sales
to Asia having been less than 81
100000 when compared with Octo-
Der OF last year. against a decrease
of sl3,00o,ooo in the exports to
Africa, sIs,o0o,ooo in those to
Oceanic, s34.ooo,ooo in the ship
ments to South America, 100000
600 to North America and s227,-
o00.o to Europe.
Huge Increase to India.
To India, in which American &C
tivities are officially discussed by
the British trade representative
above quoted. the exports in 1920
were practically ten times as much
in value as in the year Immediately
preceding the war, the total value
of our exports to India having
grown from S1e,37s.o00 in 1914 TO
s9s,s2S.0oo in 1920, and while the
1924 exports to that country show a
decline, as they do to all other
parts of the world. they will be
for the current year approximately
six times as much as in the year
Immediately preceding the war.
