UNCLE SAM—MIRACLE MAN.

For the week ending August 1, the balance of trade In favor of the United States wee in excess of 24,000,000. The flgUTes are baaed on the imports and exports from the thirteen principal

customs districts of the country. J'*-! The favorable balance of $24,000,000 for a single week is simply an incident ,i in the extraordinary expansion of the 1 American export trade. The figures setting forth the foreign trade of the

United States hcwe reached a point beyond ordinary comprehension. In the fiscal year ended June 80 last the sales of 'domestic products by the United States to foreign countries totaled the stupendous value of $2,768,643,532.

As the foreign trade bureau of the Philadelphia Commercial museum says, I *he only way in which a conception of this enormous trade can be obtained is by comparison. How great this trade is can be better understood when it is remembered that the export total was nearly double the value of the corn k" g^crop of last year, over three and onehalf times that of the wheat crop and over five times that of the cotton crop. I ff The United States is recognized as the greatest workshop in the world.

Yet the lvalue of the exports in the year ended June 30 was fifteen per cent of the total capital Invested in manufacsf*S», turlng In the last census year. Another wVcomparlson shows that the value of all the minerals produced in the United

States in 1913 was $325,000,000 short of I the total exports Jp the fiscal year of &»., 1915. S H. v~.

The United States has established a Fi'rCnew world's record,

8TICKING IT OUT.

It is the general opinion in Washington that the European war will have a great effect upon the presidential campaign next year. There is a widespread I ^feeling that, If the war is in progress next year, the voters of the United

States will refuse to "swap horses," and will keep Woodrow Wilson in the white (house. War presidents generally are re'.,tained, and in any event. Mr. Wilson's 'attitude has won him the admiration of the country.

"sts.

The war has taken the minds of the people off legislation and national polltics to a great extent, and political lines have been obscured by the national feeling which has swept over the country. Ex-President Taft and other prominent republicans have rushed to the support of President Wilson in his European policy. Republicans have more than one reason for praying for peace. Mr. Wilson would be a formidable antagonist with war still in progress. i'he record of presidential successions strengthens the theory that It is harder to stay in the white house than it is to get in. Aside from Washington, only seven of our presidents have managed to re-elect themselves. They were Jefferson, Monroe, Jackson, Lincoln, Grant, Cleveland and McKinley. Cleveland, however, did not succeed himself directly. Thus, the single-term plank

which Bryan forced into the democratic platform of 1912 has history to back it up.

There probably will be no attempt upon the part of the American people to interfere with the foreign policy of President Wilson if the complications are not all settled by November, 1916. He has been the hardest worked president the country has ever had, and he has borne it all with patience, good will, fortitude and the maximum of ability. v.

TREAT HIM RIGHT.

Aocording to the Henry Clews letter this week, which publication is accept ed as an acid test of business condi tions, building operations are resuming throughout the country and the steel industry is operating at ninety per cent of its capacity. No longer is it necessary to seek signs for better times for they are insistently pressing upon the attention of all. As already noted, the harvest will make Uncle Sam's dinner pail bulge at its edges the steel industry is hitching up preparatory for a very active season and now we learn that the freight handled by the railroads has efxpanded so much that it has forced more than 24,000 freight cars to end their idleness on the sidetracks and get busy hauling goods to the markets. Prosperity is on the march. It has taken a long while to bestir itself, but we have the promise that it will spend a much longer season in our midst on this visit to repay us for the long time we had to wait for its return.

HEDGING ON WHEAT.

When the city man grumbles of the high prices, the farmer Is likely con tent with "fair returns" for what he raises. When the farmer complains of low prices, the city man is in better spirits over the purchasing power of his dollar. It was sail the other day that most farmers in this section would get $1.25 for their wheat crop, a fine price, and the farmer has done this by selling his crop by contract in the field and "hedging" his wheat in the Chicago market. So the farmer seems to have the wheat problem solved, at least this season, while the war is creating new and unlooked for demands.

American Consul Dreher, at Toronto, has completed a study of the cost of living in Canada with particular relation to the war. As was to be expected the cost, cohering food, clothing and housing necessities, has gone up appreciably. Canada, however, as a whole, has suffered no more in this respect than the United States.

Consul Dreher reports that the range of the investigation covered 272 commodities. The chief increases for the year appeared in the grain and fodder crops, Which rose fourteen per cent, animals and meats stoc per cent, woolens, eight per cent, hides ten per cent, and drugs and chemicals seven per cent. Meat, bread, flour and sugar—. prime food necessities—all ranged higher than last year. There was one notable decrease of a kind the United States has not experienced in years. Rents were lower, averaging $4,60 a week, as compared with $4.75 in \1913.

All Chicago girls are said to have discarded stockings as an adjunct to the bathing suit. They are- evidently endeavoring to prove by ocular demonstration the falsity of a time worn tradition concerning Chicago feet,

Patriotism scales all obstacles. Refused permission to carry or display the Italian flag when Italy entered the war, the Belgians substituted small pieces of macaroni tied to coat lapels. Even the Germans laughed.

He started out his career in Goldman and Biokman's store in Cincinnati as general roustabout and "mai'n flunky," he says. Sweeping the floors, carrying bolts of cloth from the stock roorns and any odd Jobs designed by the head cu-tter under whom he worked, which considering that he was only fourteen years old was not so bad, he says. Working under an expert cutter inspired him .with the ambition to also become an expert cutter and he took a course in drafting patterns under one of the most exclusive tailors in Cincinnati. After learning all he could he went back in to the tailoring business and added to Ms Information of the trade by practical experience. Starting as an assistant cutter he worked his way up to the head cutter of the establishment. It was then that he took his position with the Schloes Bros, store in that city. After various successes working for that firm he was finally chosen to fill his present

three greatest eclipses of the yeajr 1915. But it is well to remember that one must be a luminary in order to make his eclipse notable. In other words, it may be better to be a "has been" than a "never was." ...

Elijah was a restorer. As such his work of restoring the true religion proceeded In two ways. It was constructive. He repaired the altar of tho Lord that was broken down. True religion was in a state of dolapldatiorv Before the fire could fall to consume the sacrifice the altar had to be placed In repair^-as the human side in constructive labor for the kingdom of God must always precede God's answer to faith. His work was also destructive. He conceived that the best method to root out evil was utter annihilation. He would not compromise Baalism and Jehovah worship in his thinking could not remain side by side on the same soil. If, in killing' the priests of Baal, his vengeance overstepped the bounds of Christian ethics, we must not condemn him, but regard the slaughter in the imperfect light of there times. At the same time we can learn from him the proper attitude for Christian men to take before gigantic evils that menace human welfare and portend the downfall of nations. It is the attitude of uncompromising warfare until righteousness claims the field.

Those who thus stand unfalteringly for righteousness do not stand alone. The natural forces fight their battles, as the lightning consumed the prophet's offering. The universe is on their side. "The Lord retgneth lot the earth reJoice," The Lord reigncth Jet the peoule tremble," And so Elijah couli} leave the outcomc in the hands of a righteous "5ofl.

Monday, September 6, 1915.

Caution should guide during this day in which the planets have a sinister in fluence. Uranus is in a place that is malefic in its power, while Neptune and Jupiter are adverse. Venus and Mars are slightly favorable in their influence.

It is & time in which to avoid whatever may lead to romantic relations. SVomen are to l?e avoided, as the s^~s are said to make them exacting, unreasonable and dangerous.

While this rule exists there is peril Trom explosions and missiles that are propelled by powder or dynamite.

The government of the planets is not ffood tor aerial navigation. An accident to an American Is foretold.

The sea is menacing, especially to treasure, and loss of valuable/cargoes is predicted. This is an unlucky date for beginning ocean journeys.

Contracts and co-partnorships should not be entered into while Uranus exercises evil sway. Actresses should be especially careful.

Theatres today are subject to a role that is fairly auspicious for success. War plays, however, have not a promising direction, for the seers prophesy that military and naval drama -In real life will occupy attention in the United States.

The configuration is held to be unusually trying to persons born between January 20 and February 18, as Uranus is their principal ruling planet, They should avoid the temptation to indulge in impulsive aefs and to harbor bitter thoughts.

Domestic affairs "are ukder a most contrary and discouraging influence. Discontent and possible uprisings in Ireland are indicated.

Race agitation and industrial unrest may lead to serious conditions in many states before snow falls.

Persons whose birthdato it is have the augury of a prosperous year if they do not make any radical, changes.

Children born on this day may be unsettled and restless in nature. These subjects of Virgo are often tireless travelers. Girls may not marry happily.

Sunday School Lesson for Sept. 5

BY REV. MANFORD C. WRIGHT, PASTOR MONTROSE M. E. CHURCH.

Elijah and the Prophets of Baal.

Lesson text I Kings, 18: 16-40. Golden text, ''Jehovah is far from the wicked, but He heareth the prayer of the righteous." Pa. 1C, 29.

The contest on Mt. Carmel is one of the most dramatic episode* in all religious history. It is typical of the recurring warfare of right against wrong, of good against evil, of truth against falsehood.

The outstanding figure is Elijah— "Jehovah is my God." His origin is unknown, his ancestry a mystery. He appears in the sheer ruggedness, fearlessness and manliness of his character. In the rugged simplicity and awful severities of his discipline God had created within him a great soul. That soul, flamed with a mighty passion against the lustful, sensual, devilish cult of Baalism that threatened to wipe out the nation and overthrow the worship of Jehovah, Carmel marks the victory for Elijah and tor God. Elijah staked all and won. Had the priests of Baal been victorious, or had that cult gone unchallenged, and the worship of Jehovah would have perished and the Israelitish nation would have been lost to histry. Elijah therefore is one of those essential characters which God must needs place in world crises once in a while.

RRV. HAPTFORD C. WRIGHT.

But he could do more than that— did do more than that. He trusted the better judgment of the people. Once their eyes were opened to the falsity and the futility of heathen gods they would vote rijfht on the question of religion. If Jehovah revealed himself ap God in the answer of fire, they would let him be God.

In the long run the better Judgment of mankind can be trusted in vita! matters. Only their better judgment musit have chance to act. Knowledge must be given. Education must be whether it be through dramatic climaxes or through long courses of educative proocsces, must be wrought out. When knowledge and conviction Anally grips the minds and consciences of men they can be relied on to act rightly. Hence the value of educative programs in reform movements, in social betterment and in religious progress.

Rut after education, comes action. The time finally arrives when choices must be made, decisions affirmed, the elective franchise appealed to as the final arbiter in moral valuations:. In the la^t analysis the people themselves must choose thrlr rcliaiov. :i-.slr morals, their institution ami t.-. ir Gt:d.

known musical composer, has returned home. Mr*. Ael^ma wrote more nroeic in the five months sho spent In Oregon than In two or three years In Terre Haate, she said. "It's the climate that make# hi possible for one to accomplish so much there," she said, "I shall never be satisfied unti\ we go to Oregon to live." Mrs. Adams directed the music for three services In the Central Christian church, of Portland, Ore., of which Rev. George Darsie, formerly of the Terre Haute Central Christian church, is now pastor, on the .Sunday before she started home. "We had a much warmer summer out there than you had here," she said. "Some days the temperature was up to 99 but the ocean browse made the intense heat unnoticeable. Flowers have been 'blooming constantly since I went out in March. Roses six inches in diameter were in bloom then and were still in bloom when I left. The dahlias that are now blooming are .extraordinary in color and In size are about as large as the largest chrysanthemum in this part of the country."

Mr. and Mrs. Adams haVe a walnut ranch of 20 acres near Albany, which is superintended by Stanley. The trees will be bearing in three more years. Between the walnut trees they have planted' BOO prune fees and 1,400 gooseberry "bushes. Mrs- Adams Is in favor of raising chickens also, as her sister's family living out there is doing.

She is quite enthusiastic about vegetation in general in the northwest section. "I stood in a field of oats and the oats came to my shoulder. The ground there produces from 60 to 90 bushels of oats. The corn goes to stalk for most part, however, but there 1* no need for it as the horses don't eat It and neither do chickens if they can get oats or wheat," she said.

The Oregon argicultural college is located Just ten miles from the Adams ranch and supplies all the expert Information and advice desired to that section. Mr. Adams likely will go to the ranch next spring to direct some building and drainage work and Mrs. Adams will go back to spend the summer with her son.
