GET RIGHT, MR.. REAcoN-TRIB
uNE

The Bay County Beacon Tribune
sees fit to take fling at The Journal
for some fancied wrong, calling at
tention to headline in the issue Of
August IL, in which it says The Jour-
nal is unfair to Panama City.
The article referred to was in ref
erence to a decision Of the Interstate
Commerce Commission authorizing
the Atlanta and st. Andrews Bay
Railroad Company to discontinue for
ninety days the operation Of its line
between Panama City and st. An
drews. a distance of about two miles,
for which the railroad company had
asked authority to discontinue opera
tion on the ground that it did not pay
expenses.
According to the Beacon Tribune
Alfred Tyler, its editor, sent a tele-
gram to the Journal stating that the
heading in the paper was erroneous
and misleading claiming that an in
Justice, was done to Panama City,
which he says The Journal did not
correct
/. Following is the headline as appear
Ing IN The Journal, and 1t states only
the facts as borne out In the news
item sent out from Washington, which
Is, absolutely correct, according to the
records of the Interstate Commerce
Commission.

tlnued--Will Not BE Permanent and

Either the editor of the Beacon
Tribune has fancied spite against The
Journal or Is not familiar with read
Ing headlines In a newspaper.
The Journal has never taken a
knock at Panama City or any other
city In West Florida, al far as that Is
concerned. and its mission is the up
building of this section rather than
tearing It down. 1t is not familiar
enough with the case to argue against
the findings OF the Interstate Com
merce Commission for the discontfn-
uance of the short line to st. Andrews
Bay yet is felt to a certain extent
that the little city was getting the
worst OF it. as well as the territory
tributary to it.
The Journal does not print this as
correction to its readers. for 1t has
faith In the intelligence of its readers
to read headlines Alright but to set
the editor OF the Beacon Tribune
straight.

pany Of New York.

A S a result of the war, this
"a country has been forced in
to many new Industrial
and financial activities that
reach out into every foreign coun-
try, activities which affect the well
fare OF the smaller communities
nearly as much as they do those
of the larger cities. Manufactur-
ers in small towns throughout the
United States have become inter
eSted In the possibilities of for
eign markets, and they naturally
are looking TO their local banks to
advise them regarding their foreign
trade problems both actual and po-
tentiai. We believe that the time
has come for the interior bank to
realize that the biggest thing it has
to sell Is service. and that one of
It's greatest opportunities is to aid
In the development of American
foreign trade.
We have learned by recent ex-
perience that the factories of Amer
lea are today so huge and their out
put at full capacity is so great that
the domestic market cannot regu-
larly absorb it. 1t is only by a
constant flow of overseas trade that
we can run full time all the time.
To do less than that means homes

ner is out of work
Increased orders from foreign
countries tend to change the sea-
sonal demands to year round de-
mands. The manufacturer who has
a market for his goods in South
America. for instance, possesses a
great advantage, because the sea-
sons there are exactly the reverse
of our own. And so, because the
markets Of all the world are great
er and steadier than the markets of
any one country, the American man

vate the foreign field, and the In

considerable period Of satisfactory
business is at hand. Limited produce
ton and resultant depleted stocks
stand in the way of market expansion,
as business for certain varieties OF

of strength together with steady up

interested In the development OF
foreign trade is. evident from the
fact that large proportion of the
manufactured goods exported from
the United States is produced in
towns with a population Of fifty
thousand or less.
And the manufacturers in those
towns are no longer cropping in the
dark in regard to foreign affairs.
Practically all Of them are mem
bers of powerful trade associations.
They journey In large numbers from
the small interior towns TO New
York or San Francisco to attend
foreign trade conventions, and they
are diligent readers OF foreign
trade publications.
1t is obvious thar the interior

Current Market Conditions


The trend of business during the
last two weeks appears to bear out
recent predictions OF Improvement
furnishes sufficient grounds for con-
tinued optimism, says the Southern
Lumberman for the week ending Aug
ust 20. Aside from a more favorable
outlook itself, the gain in volume OF
railroad traffic shows that business
recovery, despite It's irregular tenden-
cies, has already made encouraging
progress. There remain several for
midable obstacles, not the least OF
which is the railway settlements, to
be moved before business can gain any
considerable momentum. Until the
last few days 1t appeared that the
passage of rail relief legislation
would allow an early disposition OF
this vexatious problem but the senate
recess, scheduled to begin August "a
will postpone the settlement until ear
ly fall at least. 1t Is foregone con-
clusion that this settlement will come
eventually and that before the end
Of the year business win receive the
stimulus of railroad buying.
Recovery of the lumber market Is
under way but the progress thus far
made is slight. Scarcity Of the upper
grades has caused consumers to buy
more freely as matter of self-protec-
ton, while the same condition has
given prices of this material decided
boost. Buyers are still reluctant to
enter extensive commitments but an
increasing number of medium sized
orders, evidently of repeat nature,
indicate q heavier consumption of
lumber. Production is at a compare
lively low ebb, with manufacturing
operations discouraged as much by the
plight of the low grades as by the
weak demand itself.
Such changes as occurred In the
southern pine market during the last
week were confined to a slight in
quiry. Business has not yet reached
proportions that mean an active mar
ket. but such gains already reported
and the character of inquiries are TAX
en- as a favorable augury of the future.
Several manufacturers report the re-
ceipt of orders from the railroads and
practically all assert that railroad In
quiry is more promising. As the de-
veiopment OF this business depends
upon the passage of the rail-rehef
legislation. which, will likely be post
poned until after the senate recess, ac-
tual Improvement IN railroad buying
will hardly occur before fall is well
advanced. Retailers continue to buy
rather literally. with the actual move
ment into these channels being aug
mented by activity on part of dealers
in the grain belt who have heretofore
placed orders only with utmost oau-

She had been my only refuge, also,
