FOREIGN COMMERCE

Government figures reveal a sober
ing decline in exports and imports
for March-nearly three-quarters Of
a billion dollare less than a year ago.
Exports totalled S3S4.OOO.OOO and
imports 100000. Here lies at
least a partial explanation OF the
prevailing Industrial depression in
this country. The sharp decline
within a mparatively few months
which had been prophesied by stud
ents Of foreign trade ever since the
armistice. results from the inabil-
ity Of foreign buyers 10 pay cash for
their goods. the dissemination Of
bankers and the public generally I'm

Of credit. and the wide discrepancy
between American and foreign ex-
change.
Recent huge importations OF gold
are explained as representing the eff
fort Of foreign buyers 10 pay cash
for American goods which they feel
they must have. but for which no
credit is extended. Bankers see in
the gold movement a possible basis
for renewed initiation. while export
ers regard il az an i'll omen because
foreign trade conducted on a cash
basis when European countries are
conspicuouslys short Of cash must
necessarily be restricted.
The exchange market Will bear
watching as an index Of foreign trade
and European political conditions af-

shows uncanny discernment. II is a
significant fact that sterling exchange

The epitaph on the tomb of tragedy
is-Too Much!
The ordinary physician could easily
diagnose nearly every one of his cases
by the simple phrase-Too Much.
People worship too long before
superIatives. Too much applause, too
much attention, too much pleasure,
too much money, too much dining.

that a very useful man, whom l knew.
had just died. They told me what was
supposed to be the cause, but 1 said
III my mind that it was too much work
without recreation and too much food
his tired body could not handle that
took him away all too soon.
There can be too much of anything.
Splendid living lies in a balanced
plan. Play is essential to sound work.
Too much business man kills the good
father, and too much house and dirt
chasing stops the tide of love in
home.
The world at this time lies prone
and fearful. There has ben too much
war!
1t is possible to read too much, to
think too much, TO work too much, to
play too much. Excess is the cruelest
robber in the world.
| Trust the man with a healthy hobby.
| Select for your friend that one who
does not think too much of himself.
| Beware of the person who talks too
much!
They say that you cannot have too
much of ia good thing" But you
can. Too much deadens and destroys.
1t takes away all appreciation.
Even a hero's life is shrouded with
obscuritv. And he whom we acclaim
loudly today, tomorrow we pass I'M

Most of the great of the earth are
remembered by but a few acts.
Try not to do too much. Try not to
be too much.
There is at least one reservation.

JUST FOLKS

By EDGAR A. GUEST.

You will discover by and by,
When you have grown as old as I,
That certain men at whom you sheer,
With habits strange and customs queer
And sometimes very coarse and crude
And in their conduct often rude,
Grow rich, while men of finer grain
In humble poverty remain.
And no doubt. too, as oft have ],
You'll notice this and wonder why
Why should the barren intellect
The treasures of the world collect,
While polished minds from day to day
Must struggle for a meager pay1
II ignorance TO wealth can rise,
Why be a gentleman and wiser
Yet when these thoughts shall come to you.
There is one thing I'd have you do
Consider this rich TO be,
Would you remain as coarse as heg
Count up your friends and his right then
Would you give up the kindly men
Who stand by you and take his place,
Almost outcast from his race;
Would you be laughed at. as is he.
The richest man on earth to beg
And for mere gold, so highly priced,
Would you be pitied or despisedi
Learn from such men that here on earth
Money is not the proof of worth.
And poor is he whose wealth is told
In nothing but a pile OF gold.
