He also gave out the secret Of his
wonderful business success in way
that every merchant in and around
Belington can appreciate and profit
by. Here is his secret in his own
words:
"There are many lines of publicity
that the country store can use to best
advantage is his hometown paper.
| venture to say that if the money
spent each year for fancy calendars
and other knick-knack give-aways
were invested say invested not
spent or donated-in carefully plann-
ed newspaper advertising, the act
ual net returns to the advertiser
would be ten times as great, to say
nothing of the advantage the small
town paper would derive from the
additional and much-needed revenue.
And we know that as a business
builder it is without an equal in any
town."

THE MUSIC MAKERS COMING

Players singers and funsters,
thrown in for good mersure, are the
Music Makers who will give a pro-
grom on next Tuesday evening at the
High School Auditorium under the
auspices Of Civic League. There are
four young men in this group, each
bubbling with youth an denthusiasm
which is reflected in their program.
1t is succession of numbers each
more enjoyable than the one preced-
ing. Their appearance here will be
one of the most delightful events of
the local lyceum season.
The brass quartet work given with
an arrangement Of trombones and
comets is the outstanding features
of the program. The very highest
type of music is chosen for this quart
ct work, including such selections as
"The Soldiers Chorus" March" from
Alfalfa and Schubert's "March Mi
litaire".
The manner in which the instru-
ments are handled shows true art
istry, and will please the most dis
eliminating musical tastes.
The vocal numbers have punch and
snap, and keep the audi
ence wanting more. While there is
not the classical atmosphere to these
groups, they are nevertheless popul-
ar with every group of hearers. In
addition to these musical features
there are readings and dialogue, and
a clever comedy skit Of American
college like, which provides many
good laughs. Then for further no.
velty there are numbers on the sax
ophone, banjo or guitar.
Attractive custuming adds to the
enjoyment of the program presented
by these Music Makers, and altogeth-
er their entertainment promises to
be one long to be remembered.

Steady and permanent gains in their
demand for the outturn Of our
factories. United States merchan-
disc forms As % Of their imports
against 24q6 in the year preceding
the war.

Trade of the United States with
her Latin American neighbors
will be nearly $2,000,000,0O0 in the
calendar year 1923 against three
quarters of one billion in the year
Immediately preceding the war.
This growth in trade with our
Latin American neighbors, says
the Trade Record OF The National
City Bank of New York, occurs
especially in the exports, which
will total in 1923 about $675, 900, 900
as against $282,0O0,000 in the fiscal
year 1914, all of which immediate
ly preceded the war. The share
which shipments to that section
Of the globe now form of our
total exports is much larger than
! in the year prior to the war
and will be approximately 1870 in
1928 as against about 1296 in 1914.
Still another encouraging factor
in the figures of our trade with
Latin America is found in the
fact that the official records of
those countries show that they
are now taking a much larger
share of their imports from the

l2ao to 26% of the total, and in the
case of the Dominican Republic
advanced from 62% to $40.
This big growth in our exports
to Latin America and the equally
big increase in the percentage
which we are supplying Of their
imports is especially interesting.
in view of the fact that manu-
features form very large pro-
portion of the merchandise which
they import. In the movements
from the United States to South
and Central American countries
manufactures form about 300 Of
the total, though in the case of our
immediate neighbor, Cuba, where
sugar and tobacco command the
activities of the entire industrial
population, foodstuffs form
larger proportion Of our exports
thereto than in the other sections
Of Latin America; yet manufac-
lures form a very large percentage
of the exports to that island de-
spite its demands for the meat,
dairy products and breadstuffs OF
our farms.
All Of this merchandise sent to
Latin America is paid for in the
natural products of these cotns~
tries, for our imports from Latin
America are always, and quito
naturally, greater than our ex-
ports to them. They supply ~
a temperate zone country, with
their tropical products, including
manufacturing material and food
stuffs, while they take their pay
for these natural products h
manufactures.

United States than prior to the
war. Taking the Latin American
countries as whole, their own
official figures for the latest
available year, 1921, show that
they took in that year 45.4% Of
their imports from the United
States as against only 1880 in the
year preceding the war. The Of
fetal figures of the 20 countries
forming the group designated as
Latin America" show, adds the
Trade Record, $834000,0O0 of mer-
chandise imported from the
United States in 1921, the latest
available year, as against $3l9,-
100000 in the year Immediately
preceding the war, an increase of
over 5000 in stated value while
the share which United States
merchandise formed Of their inn
ports was 45% in 1921 as against
24qo in the year Immediately pre-
ceding the war.
This startling increase in the
percentage which we are now
supplying of the imports entering
Latin America is apparent in all
parts Of that area. Mexico, for
example, took 1875 of her imports
from the United States in 1913 and
1870 in 1921. Cuba took from the
United States in 1918 only 500 OF
her total imports and in 1921 1870
Argentina took only 15% of her
imports from us in 1918 and 28%
in 1921. In Brazil the share drawn
from the United States jtfinped

1921. In Uruguay imports from
