properly confined to the bureau of
foreign and domestic commerce. SO
well is this recognized in Washing
ton that the reports of our foreign
service officers, diplomats and con-
suls, where they refer to marketing
questions, are promptly turned owe
by the Department of State to the
Department of Commerce for suit
able action. Consular trade reports
and the Investigations made by the
commercial agents of the Commerce
Department supply the great bulk of
trade intelligence on the basis of
which commercial policies are franz
ed. These men are admirably quail
fed for the work and the organization
has been carefully constructed in the
course Of the past four years. They
are fully capable Of meeting our re-
quirements and should not be hamp-
cred by other governmental agencies,
to provide for which would mean ad-
ditional expense to the taxpayers, I'M
necessary duplication, and more or
less dissension respecting jurisdic-
ton.
Another notable factor in this
trade work was that second only to
Western Europe, inquiries respecting
Latin America were most numerous,
totaling $4,000 for the year, com
pared with less than $1,000 in 1921
20, and these inquiries continue to in
crease, t%estifying to the. growing in
terest in our Latin American trade.
Western European inquiries totaled
100000 and Far Eastern 174,0O0.
Both the Harding and the Coolidge
administrations have I r e uently
stressed the Importance of our Latin
American commerce, and the country
is beginning to awaken to its import
ance. That Is our great field for
the future. 1t totals about n and
three-quarters billions of dollars an
nually at present, and should exceed
$4,000, 100000 within the next de-
cade.

COMMERCE. DEPART.
MENT A GO-GETTER

WASHINGTON, DEC. 9.-An an
alysis of 1876 inquiries received from
business firms indicates the result
ing business to have amounted to
$427 per inquiry, according to the
annual report Of the director of the
bureau of foreign and domestic COM
merce. This means the securing of
several hundred millions in foreign
trade secured for the United States
as a result OF answers to inquiries
handled by the bureau during the
year. The director declares the num-
Der of instances In which the bureau
has aided American business men to
have totaled nearly 1,250,000 dur
ing the year, with an average of more
than 5000 inquiries a day.
This huge Increase in the number
of inquiries received from the var
iOus industries in this country dur
ing the year, is cited as ample DEM
on~stration of the effectiveness of the
bureau, which lays particular stress
ON the export trade services render
ed by the foodstuffs division to the
various branches Of agriculture that
raise crops for export. Over 143,-
900 inquiries on foreign market prob
lens were received by this one d.
vision from farmers, co-operatives
and dealers in farm products during
the last fiscal year (ended June 30),
as compared with less than $4,000
similar requests recorded for 1921
20. Following the foodstuffs division
in 1924 comes the autom0tive d.
vision with 10000, inquiries the
specialties division with $4,000, and
the textile division with $1,000.
1t viii be noted thai the fo%odstuffs
division holds the record among the
divisions of the bureau handling
trade inquiries. This division has
been very highly organized under
the direction of Secretary Hoover
and Director Klein, and 1t has
reached the point where, in coopera-
ton with the commercial attaches
and trade commissioners which have
been sent to the various countries
with which we trade, it can render
highly satisfactory service. 1t is, of
course, extremely important that this
division be given every opportunity
to continue and expand this special
lied activity, and hat no duplica-
ton of effort or division Of author
ity be oountenanced. The expansion
of our foreign markets Is 4 function

sTUDEBAKER's OCTOBER SALES

SOUTH BEND. IND, DEC. 8. =
Studebaker's October Sales exceeded
In value those of any other auto
mobile manufacturer in the world o K
cept the Ford Motor Company.
The corporation also broke all of
its wi October sales records, beating
October 1928 by 68 per cent and
October 1922 by ITO per cent.
Moreover, while exact figures are
not yet available. 1t Is known that
the November sales are far ahead
of those of any other November In
the corporations history.
The reason for these exceptional
records, point out Studebaker folks,
is the quality and value built into
the new cars at the prices at which
they are sold.
The quality Of materials and work
manship, they add, Is made possible
by two outstanding features of the
corporations manufacturing.
The 60,000.0 900 Studebaker plants
manufacturing these cars complete
in five Duplex and ten closed body
models, on three separate GLASSES,
eliminate middlemen's profits and
thereby lower costs.
Through Studebaker's large vol
ume of production, the overhead cost
per car is reduced to the minimum,
because it is spread over SO many
thousands of, cars.
This permits the use of higher
quality of materials and workman
ship at prices that would be inposs-
ible if the cars were built in smaller
quantities.

Fresh eggs are good, sound eggs

1t may be of great interest to all
high school students to know that
the site for the new two hundred
: and fifty thousand dollar high school
building has been chosen. namely, the
, Blydenburgh site.
Ever since the bonds were passed
for the new high school. the question
of where 1t should be built has
caused considerable critical COM
; ment.
Recently the Lions Club of Raw
Inns mailed out ballots to the citi-
zens of Rawlins who had children in
school. to vote ON the location they
deemed best for the new location.
Almost unanimously the people vot-
ed for the Park Hill Site" and 1t
was generally thought the question
of the location would give no more
trouble, but the school board deemed
tho site unsuitable and chose the
Blydenburgh lot, which was pur-
chased some time ago.
No doubt the school board will be
severely criticized by a great many
people, but 1t Is best to- hear their
reasons for doing so before critics.
Ing too severely.
: There has been much talk the
past week between Coach Bolkan and
the wearers of the "R" In the school
about the ACCESSIBILITY of starting a
letter mans club. Clubs OF this
kind are found in many of our high
schools and are an established body

In school and out. Only those who
have made the school letter in a

Coach Bolkan has already obtained
the permission OF Mr.. Coleman to
