FAVORABLE BALANCE
OF TRADE HELD BY u. S.

An excess of imports over exports
amounting to S96.000,000 in United
States trade for the first half of 1926
is revealed today by the Commerce
Department in figures covering world
trade during the first six months of
the current year. At the same time
international trade during the first
half of the year maintained the high
level reached during the correspond
ing period of 1925. when for the
first time since the war the volume
of world exports and imports ap-
proximated the figures for 1918.
An increase of $239,000,OOO in
United States imports during the
first half of the year as compared
with the same period last year. was
chiefly due. the department said. to
higher prices of rubber. coffee and
jute and to larger importation OF
silk, precious stones, paper, alumni
mum, copper and tin. The drop or
$751;. 700, 900 in exports was caused
by the decided reduction in the price
of cotton and the decline in exports
of grains and non-ferrous metals. 1t
should be noted. however, the de-
partment said, that 7hile the first
four months of 1926 showed an ex-
cess of imports to the amount OF
S133.777,000 the next four months
showed an excess of imports amount
ing to $116,102,000.

THE BUSINESS OF GETTING
AHEAD.
Should You Make Out q VIII?

The law gives you the right to make
your wishes immortal for two or three
generations. To take advantage of
this privilege you must make out a
legal instrument known as will.
If you fail to go to this trouble, the
State will divide your property after
your death in accordance with general
provisions, which, Of course, will take
no account of your special prefer
ences, desires or needs. If you die
intestate and without relatives, the
money will revert to the State instead
of being distributed to worthy friends
or being used for scientific or cultural
purposes such as you may have in
mind.
The will itself need not be written
in the cumbersome phraseology of a
lawyer. but experience shows that it
is wise to get legal assistance in max
ing out such a document. Many
banks and trust companies have pre-
pared folders, known as will memo
randa. to suggest subjects which
should be covered. Moreover, the pub,
lie Libraries have on file books giving
suggested forms for wills.
Hasn't Part i'm Distribution.
The chief disadvantage of dying
without will IL that the deceased
plays no part in the distribution of
his estate. In some States. when "a
man with a wife and children dies
without will, his wife receives only
life interest In one-third of his real
estate and the remainder Is divided
equally among his children or their
descendants. When the wife dies, her
third Is likewise distributed among
the children and their heirs. The law
also provides that the wife shall re.
ceive one.third of her husbands per,
sonal property outright and the re.
mainder goes to his children.
Such an arrangement frequently
works hardship when the children
are minors. It might leave the wife
with insufficient funds to provide for
herself and her children. Under GER
tain conditions. she might be permit.

Cotton, Dethroned as King in 1925,

By the Associated Press.
A slump of $1,14S,008,0 900 in the
value of the countrys important farm
crops this year, as compared with last
year, is shown by the Department of
Agriculture's December estimates
The decline was due principally to
lower prices of most farm products
rather than to decreased production.
although production of many crops
was below last year. More than half
of the decline was on account of the
low prices of cotton.
The principal crops, based on De.
cember ] farm prices, were valued at
S7,801,313 900 for this year. Revised
estimates of last years crops placed
their value at $S,949, 321 900.
Cotton, dethroned as king last year
by corn, failed to regain it's crown
this year despite record production.
The drop in total crop value of cot
ton was 1851, 1924 900. cotton's total
value this year being placed at ST.
,346, as compared with $1,597,67O,-
900 last year. This years crop is
more than 100000 bales larger than
last years.
There was a decline of $263,331, 900
in the corn crops value as compared
with last year. Value of the present
corn harvest is placed at $1,703, 430.-
900. while last years was $1,966, 761,-
900.
Wheat was one of the crops show
ing larger production and greater to-
tai value. This years crop is valued
at 1897. $50 900, compared with 1857.
907 900 for last year.

ted to use a part of the children's
share for their support; however,
drawing on their funds involves con-
siderable red tape and expense. In
such cases, the wife would be re-
quired to report to the court how the
money was spent and would also have
to put up a bond.
In some States, if a married man
without children dies, his wife re-
ceives a life interest in one-third of
his real estate and the remainder goes
to his parents or, if they are not Nv
ing, to other near relatives. Moreover,
one-half of his personal property goes
to his wife outright and the remain
der to his parents or other relatives.
In some instances such an arrange
ment might not be in accordance win
the wishes of the particular lndlvlo-
uaI and he can forestall its conSum-
nation by formulating his own plans
for the distribution of his estate IN a
will
Some Make No Provision.
On the other hand, in some states
the law makes no provision for de-
pendent parent, who can be PROVIDED
for only by will.
In making a will, one problem is to
name an executor and trustee. 1out
chief beneficiary frequently is not
qualified by training or experience 10
act in this capacity. Moreover tne
life of any individual that you may
name is of uncertain duration. Ac-
cordingly, there has been a growing
disposition to name trust companies,
whose existence is unlimited oy tne
life of any individual, to act III tnts
canacitv. Where the individual wants
to get the benefit of the expert serv'
ices and permanence of a trust com
many and at the same time have the
personal interest of an individual, ne
names both the company and an inol'
vidual to act as co-executors ana CO.
