Almost all of the 100000 worth of
cotton thread imported annually into
Manchuria comes from Japan, partly
because Japanese manufacturers have
the advantage over possible competi-
tors of government encouragement and
support, and partly because there has
been little competition from those suf-
ficiently interested in this market to
study It's requirements as have the
japanese, says the New York Times
Goods were placed with merchants

sis, so that American manufacturers
entering the market will not only have
to compete on a quality basis, but
should adopt similar methods of push

Leaders Must Paw Price.

There's satisfaction In being able to
do hard things. Weaklings have to be
exceptionally Insignificant if they can't
do something. Then there is large
class that can do many things indiffer-
entity. Those who can carry big loads
and carry them we'll are few. To be
In this select class appeals to most
folks, but only the few really deserve
place in it. And they do not land there
without effort. Such honOrs are mat
tiers of growth. Time and toll are the
price paid for the advance. Beginning
with what comes easy the worthy ones
become experts and then add to their
sphere of achieving such things as ma
turally fall in line with their endeav-
ors. Then they grow without being
really conscious of added strength.
That comes as a glad surprise when
some one calls attention to it.
