AN ENGLISH VIEW

While many of our people are fearful lest we shall not be able 1 successfully to meet English com-J petition in world trade, there is a strong feeling in England that’ Americans may distance the Eng- ( lish. Indeed, the Saturday Review is greatly concerned over the outlook. It finds that we have al-; ready enormous advantage in our greatly cheaper coal. Lloyd George is quoted as saying: “We have lost huge orders in Brazil, where we once dominated the market. We used to send coal ships to the Argentine and come back with wheat and meat. We have lost that trade.” “The miracle of a merchant ma-, rine,” says the Saturday Review,' "almost non-existent since the! Civil war, is now expanded for all to see." Shipyards have sprung up all along our coast line. Rates, it is said, are “being cut, and cut again.” Ninety per cent of our great new merchant fleet will use oil for fuel. “Better machinery,” says the English paper, “improved port facilities, well-housed and well-paid crews, operating in relays, and other means of* saving ‘the turn round’—these are the new hustling factors of America’s commercial day?’ Our labor situation is thought to be quite as favorable. Here the appeal is to Mr. Gqmpers, who says: We shall not have Britain’s trouble with the restriction of output, for we follow a different policy. Bring in all the improved machinery you can find, and all the new tools We will help you to improve them further, and we will get the uttermost product out of them. * • ♦ Work two shifts a daf if you please, or work your machines all round the clock in three shifts. <■' We insist on the normal workiifg day with full effort. It is pointed out further that America is no longer a debtor, but a creditor nation, holding obligations of the allies to the amount of -more than $9,000,000,000. Our exports, as all know, have increased

enormously, those to South America rising in the last four years from J 124.000.000 to $314,000,000. “Far-reaching economic and financial measures,” it is said, “have been adopted to stay any decline in this great prosperity, such as came in 1873 after the high tide which followed the Civil war.” The impression generally prevailing in this community was that It was England and not the United States that had been forehanded in this business. We are glad to know that our people and government have not been asleep. Much is made of the superiority of our diplomatic and consular service, the members of which “are now the trained antennae of American trade.” As a result of their efforts an American syndicate has offered to deliver coal at Italian ports much below the English price. The British board of trade has sent to Sheffield •nd other manufacturing centers the following notice: “America is able to sell steel all over the world at £5 a ton cheaper than we in this country can. Please inform us how this arises.” Fifty thousand tons of American coal have gone to the state railways of Sweden, and another 50,000 to Rotterdam. We are underselling Welsh tinplate by almost 2 shillings a box. “It is the same,” says the Saturday Review, “with motor cars, farm tractors, agricultural implements and locomotive engines for all lands, from Belgium to the Argentine.” Trade bases have been established in Europe, and Americans are already invading the Scandinavian markets, and those of the Baltic Rdssian states. Yet at the same time we are going to ship 17,500,000 tons of food to relieve the hunger of Europe. We have, of course, a great advantage in our large use of machinery. Fifty per cent of our coal is cut by machinery, as against 10 per cent in Great Britain. We produce 1,000 tons a man, while the British produce but 240 tons. The mechanical horsepower of an American worker is two or three times greater than that of the British, and his wages are three or four times greater. Finally, • according ito Lloyds, American shipbuilding last year was three times the tonnage launched the previous year,

the advantage of the wholesale price and small overhead expense. The first load is expected about May Ist. Another economy in hog production that the committee expects to make popular is the more extensive use of planting soy beans in corn to be hogged down, as it has been found that this method will often increase the amount of pork produce per acre 150 or 200 pounds. The committee expects to hold trials in each township next fall. In order to facilitate the exchange of pure bred sires, the committee will make up a list of all such sires for sale in the county each month, which may be secured from each township chairman or the county agent The committee will undertake to locate pure bred sires for anyone who desires them. As a means of increasing the number of herds of high class stock, committees were appointed to hold combination sales of each of the breeds represented in the county, if warranted the move. The chairmen are as follows; Shorthorn, John R. Parkison; Hereford, O. S. Bell; Angus, Chas, Schleman; Hampshire, S. C. Robinson; Spotted Po-land-China, Harvey Williams, DurocJersey. Frank Alter. Persons desiring to place registered stock in combination sales should communicate with these men. Joseph Kolhoff, Harvey Williams, S. C. Robinson and Charles Enz were selected to have charge of a live, stock tour to be held in June, for the purpose of visiting the leading stock farms of the county and learning the methods employed on them. A basket dinner, .with music and speaking, is one of the attractions planned. Preliminary plans were made for the annual stock show which will be held this fall if suitable accommodations can be found for housing it. * , Steps were taken to safeguard the county against a general outbreak of hog cholera, should the disease appear. The livestock committee of the County Betterment Association is composed as follows: Ed. Lane, Chairman; Harvey Williams, Carpenter; Thomas McAleer, Milroy; Joseph Kolhoff, Jordan; Fred 'Phillips, Marion; Virgil Hobson, I Hanging Grove; Kenton Parkiaon Barkley; O. S. Bell, Union; Wm. Stalbaum, Walker; S. C. Robinson, Gillam; Chas. Enz, Keener; George Helman, Wheatfield; Alfred Duggleby, Kankakee. The committee has outlined a busy season and has every reason to think that it will accomplish much for the purpose for which it was appointed.

Demotte schools will close near April 25. The afternoon was given to a lively discussion of the new road law. Trustees Postil, Porter, Bowie, Rush and Poole entered into a debate that emphasized every merit and demerit of the new road Mr. Bowie finally secured the floor with a motion that was in substance as follows: That the trustees stood as a unit ready to perform the duties of road supervisors provided they could act as they lhad under the old road law. After much, more hot discussion Mr. Porter asked to amend the motion by affixing that the trustees refuse appointment unless the county commissioners appointed all trustees to perfoirm the duties as road supervisor. This amendment was incorporated in iMr. Bowie’s original motion and seconded by Mr. Porter. Then the blue snnoke began to fly from all angles. Warren Poole moved to table this motion) and it was seconded by Mr. Rush. The subsidiary motion to table the principal motion failed. Then a pandemonium prevailed before the principal motion was brought to a vote. Trustees Rush, Porter, Bowie and Postil made pointed talks. Mr. Rush took the position that the trustees should continue as road supervisors under the old law by creating bills and doing the work without regard for the new law He maintained that he owed it to the tax payers of Newton township to discharge his duty in that manner and that he was willing to take all consequences in performing this duty even if in violation of the Irew road law. However, the board stood against Mr. Rush and held that the law must be obeyed as they understood it. The law has not been published and the only guide the trustees have is from Mr. Herndon and the. attorney general. They advise that trustees wind up the road business and turn it to the county commissioners. The primary intent of the motion was to show the county commissioners that the trustees were willing to discharge the duties of road supervisors under the provisions of the old law if the county commissioners saw fit to appoint them as .required under the hew The matter was finally brought

BUICK CHEVROLET Automobiles IN connection with the Buick, which we have sold for some time, we have the agency for the Chevrolet car also. These two makes of automobiles are very practical and the price is within the reach of all interested buyers.

to a vote and the motion was sustained. The board adjourned then until next month when other matteirs of unusual importance will occupy their attention. This was the most spirited session of years and It is likely that this will break the ice for another session equally as spirited next tmonth. The board members are broadminded enough to not allow ill feelings to go out of the room. They have a friendly feeling toward each other that over' rides all that is said in board meetings. xx

GOOD NEWS Many Rensselaer Readers Have N'Heard It and Profited Thereby. I “Good news travels fast,’’ and the many bad back sufferers in Rensselaer are glad to learn where .relief may be found. Many a lame, weak and aching back is bad no more, thanks to Doan’s Kidney ‘Pills. Our citizens are telling the good news of their experience with this tested remedy. Here is an example worth reading: I Mrs. Guy Hudson, Clark St., Rensselaer, says: “I had spells of backache and was nearly worn out by the dull, constant ache across my kidneys. I finally got Doan’s Kidney Pills at A. F. Long's Drug Store and they gave me fine relief. I certainly think Doan’s Kidney Pills are effective.’’ . i Price 60c, at all dealers.

American engineers are to undertake the rebuilding of the I Grand canal of China, the oldest canal in the world, dating back nearly 2,500 years, and also the i longest canal, measuring in the main section nearly 1,000 miles, ' and extending - from ■Hfanchow ! south of Shanghai, .China, to Peking. Most of this canal has been , filled with mud by overflows of the Yellow river, but the southern portion of it still constitutes a very busy waterway. The canal is now to be rebuilt and improved. The project is too vast to be done at a single operation and the funds are not at hand. At present about $6,000,000 is available, and this sum will be used for the improvement of a section about 100 miles !in length, leaving to a later date, when funds can be accumulated, the construction of other sections. The richest ruby mine, which is in Burma, is known to have been operated for at two centuries.
