SHIPPING MARINE Must be Increased —Exports in Last Eight Months Exceed 1914 Report. LEND MONEY NOW To the Government —You Will be Richly Repaid at End of the War. Chicago. Nov. 27 —(Special to Daily Democrat)—The nation's trade with the countries of South America is al least three times as extensive as it was in the year immediately preceding the outbreak of the great world war. In the eight months ended with August (the latest month for which figures are available) exports to -he sister republics of the south aggregated $188,000,000 compared with only $65,000,000 in the corresponding period in 1914. Imports from South Amer ica totalled $433,000,000 compared with $157,000,000 in 1914. Thus, it will be seen, this country's total trade with the southern continent in the first eight months of this year represented a value of $620,000,000 against only $220,000,000 in the same time in 1914.

To Argentina, Peru and Chile, exports from the United States more than trebled, while those in Uruguay quadrupled. The exports to Venezuela, Colombia. Brazil and Ecuador were practically three times as great as those in 1914. Argentina contracted for $62,256,000 worth of United States products compared with only $19,649,000 in the first eight months of 1914. Exports to Brazil were $40,197,000 against $15,973,000 to Chile, $32,971.000 against $10,800,000. The records at Washington show large increases in imports from the South American countries, especially in those from Argentina. Chile. Uru guay and Peru. The United Staotes imported $133,169,000 of Argentina products in the first eight months ci this year, compared with $40,752,900 in the corresponding period of 1914. Chile sold us $96,626,000 against $15.954.000; Uruguay $28,389,000 against $8,522,000 and Brazil $106,335,000 against against $62,633,000. The pronounced increases in both exports and imports continued unbroken right down to the last day or. which figures were available and it is reported that the showing for the rest of the year will be even bettor. A better argument in favor of building a mercantile marine and a strong navy to protect it would be hard to find. These figures should bring home to the American producer the realization that his interests lie in supporting the government with money to finance the war and to prepare for world trade after the great conflict ceases. Every dollar now loaned to the government will be increased many times whan the piping times cf peace return.

CANADIAN WHEAT FOR THE U. S. Since April of this year wheat and wheat flour has been imported in greatly increased quantities from Canada. This is attributed principally to the fact that on April 15 Canada removed the duty on wheat imported into that country, which action automatically admitted Canadian wheat free of duty into the United States under the provisions of the tariff of 1913. According to new statistics furnished by the bureau of foreign and domestic commerce, of the department of commerce, 840,981 bushels of wheat were imported from Canada in September of this year, as compared with 3,259,507 bushels for the whole nine months ended with September, 191*5. For the nine months ended with September of this year, we imported wheat from Canada to the extent of 21,490,269 bushels, over 14,000,000 bushels of which came in free after April 16. The imports of wheat flour during these nine months totaled 403,270 barrels, of which 297,695 barrels j came in free of duty. For the corres-

ponding nine months in 1916 the total imports were 157.289 barrels and in 1915 only 90.499 barrels. This Canadian wheat and flour is being received through every customs district on the northern border from the Atlantic to the Pacific, Buffalo leading in September with' 285,119 bushels and 51.596 barrels of flour, followed by Duluth. Minnesoat, and Superior, Wisconsin, with 223,883 bushels of wheat and 15,761 barrels' of flour. Michigan with 138,881 bushels of wheat and 1,539 barrels of flour,: Ohio with 114.696 Injshols of wheat, I Miitnesou with 12,145 bushels <f' wheat, and New York, Rochester v.', - I num I. Dakota. Montana, and Waslpug-’ lon with varying amounts. There is also a noticeable movement of Cant'.di<ui flour to the West Coast.

Don’t let The Spider Spin a Web Across Your Door Mark Twain says: “When I was editing the Virginia City Enterprise, writing copy ope day and mining the next, a superstitious subscriber once wrote and said he found a spider in his paper. Was this good luck or bad luck? “I answered him in our 'answers to correspondents’ column, as follows: “ ’Old Subscriber—The finding of a spider m your copy of the Enterprise was neither good luck or bad luck. The spider was merely looking over our naues to find out what merchant was not advertising, so that it could spin a web across his door, and lead a free and undisturbed exjstence forever after.' ” No matter how good your store, how choice your good* or how low your price*, there's “nothing doing" unless the public know, about it—and there is no quicker or surer way of letting it know than through the newspapers. Every good citizen In this community will give you his patronage If you give evi. dence of wanting it. The most convincing and cordial invitation you may extend tc| your public is through the regular use of newspaper space.

GOVERNOR LOWDEN'S VIEWS Gov. Frank O. Lowden, in a recent interview, threw an interesting light on his private Interests when he said he once owned a Shorthorn bull that had won blue ribbons throughout the United States, and that he regarded the raising of this animal as one of the achievements of his life. When further interviewed about it he said: "The breeding and feeding of good live stock is my hobby. 1 am, therefore, deeply interested in the improvement of the farm animals of 'lie United States. It costs no more to raise good live stock, which will netter the returns when marketed, than it does to raise a ’scrub’ and the scrub must go. Live stock production is not keeping pace with the increase of pop-
