Just then Little Jack Rabbit came
hopping by, clipperty clip. lipperty
lip, his red striped candy cane
swinging from his left paw.
Come with me. I've spent my
last dollar and am going to seek my
fortune" said dear Uncle Lucky. Il
don't know just where well find It,
but, anyhow, we must look for it,
So. away they went, faster than
before. and after a while they met
a little old duck with q silk bonnet
on her head.
Can you tell me IL there is a gold
mine near here?" inquired the old
gentleman rabbit, anxiously. But
the little old duck only shook her
head.
Il never heard of one" she ans
wered. but you might ask the pea
cock who lives not far from here"
THANK YOU just the same" said
Uncle Lucky, and pretty soon he
came to a big iron gate in a high
stone wall. A beautiful peacock with
tail like Japanese fan stood look
ing out.
Now well find the gold mine"
said Uncle Lucky hopping out OF
the Luckymobiie and up to the iron
gate.
Can you tell me If there is a gold
mine near here?" he asked, lifting
his old wedding stovepipe hat. But,
Oh, dear mel That peacock stuck UP
his nose and turned away without
even answering dear old Uncle
Lucky. Wasn't that impolite of
him? So the old gentleman rabbit
rang little bell that was fastened
to the gate and in the next story you
shall hear wha happened after that.

CHANCE TO LEARN
TRADE PROSPECTS
IN OTHER LANDS

The executive secretary of the As
| ISOLATED Industries, Benjamin F.
Cleaves. is sending out to Maine in
dustrialists and merchants a bulletin
| which merits especial attention. A
way is afforded for the small manu-
facturer and business managers in
certain enterprises to enlarge the
| scope Of his activity.
Portland, Me. April 16, 1924.
On Saturday last attended in
Boston a, meeting of representatives
from six New England states to
formulate preliminary plans for the
nth National Foreign Trade Con-
vention, to be held in Boston on June
As and 6. This National Foreign
Trade Council was formed about II
years ago by group of 35 men COM
ing from different parts of the conn
try, who felt that our Foreign Trade
had been of the haphazard variety
where a surplus which happened to
exist this year would be sold in for
eign jurisdiction without any con-
eerted effort to sustain that trade by
securing regular customers and regu-
larly sending an increasing surplus
to dependable foreign market. In
OIHSk WOIuS, our 1OTSiEn tFaQ6 WAS
not stable, and no organized effort
to establish and maintain that trade
had been made.
The association has grown in
popularity, efficiency and in numbers.
Last year at New Orleans about 1900
delegates from different organiza-
lions attended. This is the first time
the convention has been held in New
England. and 1t will be some years
before the council will get around to
New England again. There is, there
fore. afforded to every Maine manu-
facturer an opportunity, with but
comparatively little expense, to in
form himself, and determine whether
or not he desires to, and can, engage
to any extent in the enlargement of
his business through foreign trade.
The principal slogan of the con-
yention will be "The need of a wider
market for American products" In
quiry upon my part brought out the
fact that the council realizes the sit
uation in Europe, and the idea of the
convention Is not to attempt to
broaden or increase our trade with
European countries. but to seek and
try to. sustain market for American
products In those other countries
where European manufacturers have
had a pretty firm hold, and now by
reason Of their internal situation are
not able to supply that market as
they formerly have done, thus Civ
Ing to American producers an OPP
portunity to enter and successfully

compete in these markets with their
less fortunate European competitors.
/ particularly called Mr.. Davis at
tention to the fact that our indus
tries in Maine were in most instances
small,-nearly 95 per cent. of the
rumber of our industries employing
less than one hundred, and many of
them much less than that number.
Mr.. Davis very fully pointed out that
there was an exceptional opportunity
for these. small manufacturers, If
they are fashionng a product for
which there was use in any or
these foreign countries. / inquired
how such small manufacturer could
get the necessary information; and
the substance of his reply was this
at this Forthcoming convention there
will each forenoon and afternoon be
a session of major interest probable
to the larger producers, who are al
ready engaged in foreign trade. Each
forenoon and afternoon there will be
10 or 20 group meetings. represent
ing different crafts and trades, and
presided. over by SOMEONE expert In
that particular branch. Our smaller
producers will naturally gravitate
toward the group meeting in which

ANYWAY A GOOD MEETING

From what is learned respecting
The meeting, Wednesday,, of the
Maine Central stockholders the re-
ports circulated in the press prior
to the meeting did not afford an al
together accurate impression of the
extent of agitation. There was no
question respecting the fidelity of
tho old directorate to the interests
.of this great factor in the States
business welfare, but a feeling
among many that the viewpoint of
some younger men among the
directors would be an advantage.
3owever, there Is reason, we as
sumo, to conclude that this meeting
will prove beneficial in many ways,
Ind that Is gratifying to all Of us
who wish to see this excellent in
stitution prosper and augment its
service to the public.
! The meeting was we'll attended.
AN had opportunity to say their say
pnd' the number of those wishing
for certain changes were sufficient
~ numerous to be impressive. ANY
directorate getting the idea that It's
conclusions are infallible is in bad
way, however excellent may be its
ntenti lions. A very significant
feature Of the meeting appears to
have been the spirit Of loyalty to
the road and of good nature among
those of differing opinions, giving
assurance of no let-up in team work.
which is essential to the welfare of
the Maine Central railroad as It Is
10 most enterprises.

they are particularly interested. At
this convention will be assembled
from ~125 to $50 men, coming from all
over the country. who are experts
IN the matter OF foreign trade; some
engaged in one line ana some in an
other, but in each group at least one
man who can answer any question
which any Maine manufacturer
might ask him. For illustration, you
may want to know what countries
would be interested in your product;
what Is the particular way of estab-
fishing a connection, either through
advertisement or through some for
eign representatives; if the latter.
which representative Is the more re-
liable; what will be the expense TO
you: how are You going to bill your
goods: how can you know whether
1t is safe or unsafe to give credit, ct
cetera. All this, and any other in
formation which you may desire, will
be furnished without expense lex
cept the $1,000 registration fee for
the convention;) and you will have
an opportunity to be intimately in
touch with one or more men who
know.
1t occurred to me that a very con-
siderable percentage of our Maine
manufacturers could enlarge their
business If they had market for
their product: and that in this con-
vention would be given an opportun-
ity for you to get the information
upon which you can reach a conclus-
ion.
II you are interested, communicate
with Mr.. 0. X. Davis, secretary of
the National Foreign Trade Coun-
Gil, India House, Hanover Square.
New York City. There is of course
connected with an organization OF
this sort certain expenses which
have to be met. There is, therefore,
a registration fee of $1,000 which
entities you to full benefit Of the en-
tire convention force; and as I UNI
derstand 1t, this il the only expense
except your travelling and hotel bills.
suggest that II this matter interests
you, you communicate with Mir.
Davis at once; and | also suggest
that in view of the fact that there
will be approximately 5000 delegates
assembling In Boston that you make
your hotel reservation fairly early.
shall be very glad TO personally
give you any additional information
within my possession, but have no
doubt that the council headquarters
can help you more than / can. A
skeleton program ha been issued
which In a general way shows the
scope OF the convention, and which
you can receive upon application to
the national headquarters.
Most sincerely yours,
BENZ, F. CLEAvES,
