In the passing of Mrs. Runciman,
Briar Rose loses woman of wonder
full character and personality. In
spite of the infirmity of her body she
lived outside of self, following the
events of the community, the farm,
and the home with keen and lively
interest Unable to leave the house,
confined to her chair, she neverthe-
less kept in touch with many house
holds; and her CHEEKY voice sent
many message of kindly inquiry ov-
er the phone to friends and neighbors,
Her remarkable memory made her an
authority on the events of the day,
the books she read, and data for the
farm and home In all a wonderful,
sweet, brave, CHEEKY soul. All who
knew her loved and admired her. We
are saddened by her going.

export figures to note how our prevd-
u contact with Cuba, Hawaii, and
the Philippines has proved an anchor
cast to windward, just as England's
strength in her export trade lies in
the loyalty of her colonies.
Business in Canned Goods.
The story of canned goods in fruits
and vegetables, illustrates the course
of what each line may expect accord
ing as it adjusts itself in accord with
prevailing conditions. There were
huge stocks carried over into 1921
which had to be disposed of at re-
duced figures. This stimulated con-
sumption. Then there were smaller
yields of both fruits n vegetables
in 1921 thar in the previous year. So
stocks are now below normal for this
season of the "a The consequent
outlook is Tor larger production of
fruits and vegetables this year than
last. There probably will be a large
volume of business in these commodi-
ties during the coming months. Also
spread freezes we had. asst spring do
not often occur two years in success
sion.
How vast is the volume of business
in canned goods in vegetables may be
gathered from the story of tomatoes,
the love apples of u grandfathers,
then merely a curiosity and negligible
as an edible vegetable. Like most
good things of strictly American ORR
gin, it finally made it's way, and the
annual commercial pack varies from
240 to 500 million cans, exclusive of
those put up by innumerable house,
wives.
AS in canned goods, so in other
lines; those who have Nquidated and
offer prices which both dealers and
consumers feel is bottom for the time
being, are doing business in fairly
good volume.
Several industrial developments in
dictate how misleading concentrations
may be under present conditions.
Raw wool is up, apparently due to the
Emergency Tariff, and with strong de-
mand, while the business in manu-
factured wooden goods is not so salts
factory On the other hand in Aus
tralia, recent sales of wool were on a
declining market.
Demand continues slow in most
metals. The little boom i'm copper
died a%-borning n prices went off
some, because of still too much sur
plus above ground. although it is
steadily getting less, and there is like
lhood of some increased activity in
I mining. Zinc had much the same
fate as copper. Lead is mostly stand
ing still. Iron and steel mills are still
running on short time though show
ing some Slight increase in produc-
ton in January. Prices weakened
somewhat, more particularly in finish
ed products.

In their expense account, n this
they are striving to bring about with
the handicap of not having the final
say in such matters. There is also
the question, which cannot be an
swered in advance, as 10 whether such
reductions will bring an adequate vol
m of business, under present de-
pressed conditions, to compensate for
the reduction in rates. Like most of
great economic problems it will prob
ably all come out in the wash, though
not so fast as we may desire. For
much of it is dependent upon the &C
ton of certain government agencies,
n no M can recall an government
forces in time of peace, hustling
themselves to get things through in n
hurry. That is not the way of red
tape.
We have yet to learn from expert
ence how far we can safely go, and
no farther, in the regulation of pub
lie utilities; but this much is obvious
at present, hat the impossibility, Of
the railroads dealing direct with their
employees on matters of the utmost
mutual interest is a serious handicap
on bringing about hat spirit Of loyal
ty without which there can be no
efficient service.
Heavy Corn Export.
One of the interesting features of
the export trade in 1921 was the large
mount of corn sent abroad, more in
fact than in any twelve months in the
past twenty years. Much of it went
to Russia as food for the starving
millions in that distressed country:
but the rest of Europe apparently
took as feed for livestock, whose de-
pleted numbers they are endeavoring
to restore and for which there is no
food like corn. Many years g there
was a substantial effort on the part
of corn growers to teach Europeans
that they were missing something
when they did not eat corn i'm all its
infinite varieties of foo preparations.
But it was no use. We led them to
the trough, but they would not drink,
n went on eating rye bread and
pretending that they liked it.
Europe has always drawn on US
for food and this situation is accent
uated even more than in pre-war
times because of the elimination of
Russia for so long a period. We seem
to forget in all these calculations of
a'rehabil1tated Europe that such an
event will work both ways. 1t it
means larger purchases of our goods
in some lines. it means an ever fiercer
competition in other lines and a. con-
sequent falling off in some kinds of
exports. What we seem gradually
drifting to, n his drift will become
more apparent in a short time, is to
find greater markets elsewhere, es-
pecially in South America and Asia,
particularly for fabricated materials.
1t requires only a casual glance at
