NEW SWIMMING CHAMPION

Elsinore, California, Oct. Is, 1921.
Editor The Washburn Times,
Dear Sir:
Wash burn has produced swim
ming champion. Inclosed, you will
find a clipping cut from the "Elsi-
more Valley Press" it explains itself.
At Detroit, Mich, he has the re-
putation of star swimmer, and a
coming champion.
Mr.. Blake, having lived in Wash
burn all his life, has thousands of
acquaintance there, especially
among the High school element, who
will be interested in him. If you
don't remember him, any of the
O'Sullivan boys, or the postmaster
himself, or Robert Morris, or Mr..
Robinson, who owns the Times, or the
Ungrodts, or the Wardens know him
we'll. The clipping will make a
very spicy bit for them all, with
the knowledge that he will be in
Washburn next August, and will at
tempt to swim Chequamegon Bay,
from the Ashland Light House to
the Washburn Flour docks. This
should be successful, as he recently
raced in an eight mile swim under
extremely difficult conditions.
Very truly yours,
GEORGE LEE, JR.
Edward Blake, Detroit Yacht club
swimmer of Detroit, Mich, and
member Of the A. A. u, swan
across Lake Elsinore Sunday morn
ing in the fast time of So minutes
and SO seconds.
The former record of three years
standing was held by John White
Of Elsinore and was one hour and
13 minutes.
The start was made from the
Web Foot club on the. east shore
of Lake Elsinore, and the swim di-
rectly across over three-mile course
Blake used the Australian crawl
stroke the entire distance This is
the most popular stroke in the east
and is used by the best swimmers,
including Norman Ross, worlds
champion, whoEl Blake recently
swan against at Put-in-Bay, Ohio
Many local fans witnessed the
swim. w. L. White was starter
and timer; Jack Clark, timer, and
George Lee, Jr., was boatman and
guard.
Mr.. Blake believes that he could
better his time if he swan in COM
petition. Elsinore swimmers say
his mark is one that will stand for
some time. During the past sea-
son he won medals in the east. 1t
is probable that considerable inter
est in swimming will be revived as
Mr.. Blake intends to make his home
in Elsinore and will endeavor to get
bunch of the best swimmers to-
gether and arrange to pull off some
good swimming stunts at an early
date.
He expresses surprise that there
is not more interest evinced in
swimming in the lake. He con-
siders Elsinore to be wonderful
place.

By j. w. SANGER

Business economists have figured that the difference between good and bad conditions is F per cent.
 The foreign trade of the United States in 1920 was about r percent.
 In other words, if America was at the peak of prosperity and foreign trade was suddenly cut off, the coun- try would drop to the pit of depres- sion.
 Those facts speak for themselves and point directly to the importance of foreign trade.
 It is no longer sensible to discuss whether we shall, or shall not, enter into foreign trade. America has been in for years. And the country is bound to stay in.
 The real question is: how shall we go about building up this foreign trade?
 The Far East plays an important part in the answer to this.
 Tkere are scores of things that the United States must get from foreign lands. And for them, We must pay ln gold or goods, preferably in goods.
 The most profitable foreign trade is in manufactured goods. and that is what the Far East needs most. Where France. England and Italy have facil ities for manufacturing. the Far East generally, has not.
 Right now there is an abundance oi silk. tea and vegetable oil, that the United States can always make nse Of, in China. In return. China wants machinery, cotton goods and kero sene. The main article Japan has, that America needs, is silk--the index tc the prosperity of Japan. And, from this country. Japan wants ,machinery and raw cotton.
 From the Philippines the r. S. csr get agricultural products, and in re
Bisbee daily review., 1921-05-15

turn send finished products.
 Japan and the Philippines stand much higher in buying power, per capita, than China. Yet China offers wonderful opportunities to America. when you look into the.future.
 Right now the country is held in the background in a trade way because of the lack Of transportation facilities. But that problem is bound to work opt, in the future. The country is at work. at the present time. with the cooperation of foreign capital. on the construction of railroads.
 As results come, trade possibilities are certain to mpIeve. America can find a market, growing better all the time, in China.
 Shanghai is the commercial metfOp oils, handling 40 per cent of the entire total of foreign business. For the first time in the international history Of China, the United States led, in 1920 in foreign trade with that country.
 Americans who have visited China return with wonderful impression Of the trade possibilities. They base their ideas on the fact that the popu- lation of China is about O0,000,000 Imagine selling, for instance, one pair of shoes to each inhabitant.
 That would, give the impression that 400 100000 Chinese are just. waiting fo,. m ar;ca t0 ctar ;,, with tho SynOdc Such is not the case. however:
 However.if but small percentage ! of the population continued to buy an increasing amount of American goods tt would put hundreds of millions o' ; dollars in American pockets. Right now there is q bill, cqmmon- ly known as the China Act, before the senate, which, if put into effect. would place the American business man on par with business men of Britain, Japan and other foreign coun- ! tries. in trade dealings with China. It would do away with income and eX- i cess profits taxes on business done by Americans in China.
 Time will come when the Far East after machinery orders are filled will buy mostly the higher grade and more expensive articles from outside. The l higher the grade. the bigger the profit
 Trade in the Far East is open right now. And it is going to get better right along. When the Chinese rail road situation is straightened out, : boom in that section is bound to come

Butterflies Spots Deceive All Enemies
sY EDWARD E. sIeELoW

5 The wings of butterflies are worthy of careful study.
 The main framework B composed of chitinous tubes which are in reality double, the inner tube filled with air and, the outer tube with sblood, or what corrasponds with blood, and which circulates most freely during the time that the butterfly. ;s chang ing from chrysalis to ipago; ts,a. is, from the time, when it cones out of the prpal stage until ft,is the full winged insect.
 After the wings are veil tglned the circulation of the blood ir the outer tl1es is largely, if not altogether sus- pended.
 These tubes, like the meshes cf Q n.r, support membranes which arc oi@tihe on boch sides with ilattenel peculiarly beautiful scales. arranged in overlapping roYs ike shingles on a lCof.
 Butterflies at rest generally hold |! -.;r wings rigid with their upper sur  f cs in proximi; ,. that surface alone it,isplaying the c5tIr pattern 10 the l.e.c There are fa;v exceptions to tl:$ g'r.eral rule, whr:els on the-contrary lhnths nearly. alS2ys keep their wing: sly spread.

And with the general return to nor nal conditions in all Far East coun- tries, foreign trade is on the general pickup
 The Chinese merchant feels very friendly toward the American mer- chant. He stands ready to welcome trade with America, but is a shrewd buyer and will look to the best and cheapest market.
 The American merchant will do well to get in strongly in the swing of trade with the Far East.
 And it is well to remember that the more business--the more money-the more jobs. That's why trade with all foreign countries closely concerns every American.
