"MADE INeGERMANY."
Famous Trade Mark Apt to Be Re-
...- vived, rr, -.

s.-- vived. .r.;
The trademark Made in Germany
soon may be stamped again on Ger
man export wares, for the agitation to
revive this trademark. which was
Jknown in three-fourths Of the market
cities OF the world before the war, has
been increasing in industrial and COM
mercial circles. ....... .., ....-
Arguments that the. anti-German
sentiment which resulted in wide
spread. boycotts following the war is
subsidihg and that many merchants
again would welcome the trademark,
have had noticeable influence with
manufacturers, who now are investi-
eating the probable result of its re-
newed use. .,,s r-r
It is almost certain the words will
shortly be used for articles which
cannot be initiated or for which there
are no substitutes in other countries.
Some Of the reports said to have
been received from foreisn mer-
chants say many would welcome the
sign again If only to prevent trades
men from selling German goods at
higher prices than necessary, under the
representation that they were made in
Switzerland, America, England or else
where. 49,.
1t is known that Immediately after
the war the German merchants and
manufactures made use of the Swiss
to market German made wares which
were boycotted.
Advocates of the made in Ger
many" trademark also insist it's use
would protect German merchants
themselves, for they hope to REVIVE
the respect for this mark until in no
market of the world will the quality
of the goods bearing it be questioned

WORST is PASSED?
President Harding Says Agricultural
Improvement Has Begun.

Presldent Hardina Gays A9TicuNuTa'
Improvement Has Begun.
"The general industrial and business
isituation now is such as to justify
confidence that we ARE well past the
worst phase of the agricultural crisis"
declared President Harding in letter
read Friday to farmers attending the
arfppal RED ,RiYer, Valley, fqrm crop.
and live stock show at Crookstons
Mimi.
'"The Improvement is we'll begun and
viii continue steadily from this time
forward" said the letter, which was
addressed to c. G. Selvig, superintend-
.ent of the Northwest School Of Agri-
culture, and chairman Of the board Of
managers Of the Mid Winter Show,
held in connection with the farmers
meeting. ..
After expressing regret that he was
unable to deliver personally his mes
sage, President Harding's letter refer
red to the recent national agricultural
conference in Washington and said:
"In the general industrial and busi-
ness situation there Is much to Justify
confidence that we are well past the
worst phase of the agricultural crisis
that Improvement is well begun and
that it will continue steadily from this
time forward. This is not only a
source of satisfaction to every friend
of the farmer, but also to whoever is
interested in any phase of American
business, for we have come to realize
the inter- dependence Of all depart
ments of the national industrial estab-
lishment.
mo one Of them can prosper per-
manently if any other great branch of
national activity is depressed. There
fore, in expressing my conviction, bas-
ed on a wide array of information,
that the worst is past as concerns ag-
riculture, l am recording my firm be-
lief that an era of better business and
more prosperous times for the entire
commercial establishment of the eoun-
try lies just ahead OF u.s.. / feel, there
fore, that we are entitled to look with
much satisfaction upon what we have
accomplished in the last year and with
oil confidence to the future"
