OPEN THE HOME DOOR

It would rather too much stress is being placed upon
the importance of foreign trade.
What we need most is extension of trade at home
among people,
Certain manufacturing and exporting circles complain
that our high wages the excessive cost of materials
together with shrnkage in value of foreign has
seriously impaired foreign trade.
But what of that?
If we in the only people earth would
collapse suffer because of the lack of other peoples
with which to trade?
Not bit of it,
We would simply learn to produce everything need
and use up everything produce We would create more
equitable system of marketing of barter and exchange We
would speedily develop into nation capable of producing
everything climatic conditions require IT,
Then why worry?
If we could do these things nation unto itself and
be satisfied what to doing the even
as nation among the many nations of the earth?
Since in dependent upon other nations
sustenance why wdd thumbs and bemoan the
loss of vanishing foreign trade?

MOSQUITOES ENGULF
SHIP ON THE PACIFIC
Crew Fights for Life When
Caught in a Regular Cy-
clone OF Insects.

A stlff breeze from the vicinity Of
Icy straits, $50 miles away, brought
such a cloud Of mosquitoes as to over
whelm the crew and passengers Of the
steamship Spokane, while en- route
from Skagwny to Seattle. The storm,
which had the whirling motion Of cy-
clone, evidently picked up millions OF
the insects from hogs and carried
them seaward. Striking the Spokane,
the. mosquitoes covered everything.
The glass Of the pilot house was i'm
bedded so thickly with the crawling
Insects as 10 make seeing impossible.
The inside became living mnss Of
lighting mosquitoes, driving out the

newspaper and smudged out the pests.
All passengers were driven inside
the cabins and fought for their breath
amid the whirling mass Of tiny crea-
lures. For ten minutes the storm
seemed 10 center its efforts and results
on the Spokane and continue to de-
post the mosquitoes on the ship. They
lay scattered over the deck In drifts
and myriads OF them were blown
down into the tunnels of the ventila-
tors SO that the crew below had a
taste OF the pest.
A black bear, tied forward, so suf.
fered from the cruel attacks OF the
chilled and hungry insects that he
leaped overheard and was hanged to
death by his collar and chain.
AS soon as the wind subsidized the In
sects quit coming and the hose was
turned on to wash the decks clear OF
the dead and dying. Captain Wallaby
brought a pickle bottle filled with the
mosquitoes to port. He scooped them
up with spoon from his compass and
sextant in the pilot house.
