' - -v' How Our Exports May be Limited One important phase of the curtailment of the output of our factories and the consequent failure of merchants in foreign countries to obtain deliveries is the impetus it gives to the establishment of factories in those countries. Our highly organized industries have offered uuch strong competition in the past that it has been impossible for foreign manufacturers to establish profitable plants in their own countries. But the situation has undergone a change since the signing of the armistice, so that we now court the danger of losing the very markets in which we reigned supreme and had no serious competition. Foreign merchants want deliveries of their

goods. They will not wait for weeks and months. I

The dimunition in the quantity output of our industries has been so great, the interruptions due to lockouts and strikes so many that foreign manufacturers are preparing to make the goods which we cannot deliver. India offers a good example. During the war, Great Britain was unable to supply her with the manufactured goods which she formerly obtained there. India met the crisis by establishing factories of her own where many types of machinery and mechanical fittings are now being produced. A writer in the Saturday Evening Post mentions another instance. Hitherto American typeWriters have commanded the Scandinavian market. Today representatives of the Krupp company are making a survey of the typewriter mar

ket to see if the mechanical equipment of the Krupps cannot be speedily adapted to the manu- J facture of this utility. Let the Scandinavians j learn that they can buy typewriters in Germany! whenever they want them and that there will be;

no delay in the transport, and our market will presently be lost. The reduction in the output of our factories and mines, the interruption in our means of transportation, will inevitably lead to dire consequences. Th3 wide extent of this danger is not fully realized by our people. If it were all of us would be devising means to speed up our production and to discourage costly, perhaps fatal, interruptions.

of a common good by federation and the possession of an agency through which it may be accomplished. The whole community will benefit by an expansion of the work of the churches and by their nurturing of the religious and moral life. Prosperity Reflected in the Farm Sales No one can read the accounts of the farm sales held in various parts of this and adjacent counties without concluding that prosperity reigns in this community. Richmond is in the center of one of the richest farming districts in the Central West, to which the amounts of money spenet at the farm sales attest powerfully. Farm sales have become somewhat of an institution among our farmers, much as Chautauqua in summer and the lyceum bureau in winter have come to be accepted forms of recreation in our community life. Even if the purpose of the sale is the disposing of surplus property of all kinds, or the breaking up of a home, the social element has not been relegated into the background. In fact, there is a charm and neighborliness about a farm sale that is absent from the atmosphere in an auction sale held in an . urban wareroom. To the farm sale come friends from near and far, buyers and ecquaintances who chat and "visit", discuss their agricultural problems, their household cares, the rearing of their children, and what not. It is a picnic on a limited scale and in a more confined setting. It is a pleasure to note that the farmers who are holding sales need not feel discouraged about their ventures, even if the weather now and then is inclement and unfavorabl. Usually their friends brave the rain and cold to obtain the desired bargains in live stock, grain and corn, or implements. Squalls and heavy downpours seem to add zest and spice to some of the sales.

Condensed Classics of Famous Authors

STEVENSON Robert Louis Stevenson had "the most speaking of presences: a steady-penetrating-fire in the wide-set eyes, a compelling power and sweetness In the smile; courteous waving gestures of the long, nervous "hands, a lit cigarette generally held between his Angers." His conversation was Incomparably brilliant, yet he did not

dominate the talk; " rather he helped every one about him to discover unexpected powers of their own." Henley says "he radiates talk as the sun does light and heat." Colvln compares his warm humanity to the steady flame at heart of a great driftwood fire, while his flashing humor was like the myriad colored fla raes. Stevenson had moreover the most sterling sense of duty and of justice. "We were put here," h esays, "to do what service we can, for honor and not for hire." He was eager to risk his life at the time of the Agrarian troubles in Ireland, and again in Samoa, he was threatened with deportation for his activities in behalf of the natives. His loyalty Is btst expressed in a letter to Barrie about their beloved Scotland, "Singular that I should live here in the t?outh Seas under conditions so new and so striking, and yet my imagination so continually inhabit that cold old huddle of gray hills." But above all he was temperamentally a poet.

THE GEORGE MATTHEW ADAMS DAILY TALK WORKING TO PLEASE SOMEONE ELSE People are not hall so selfish as they seem. The greatest type of effort, satisfaction and delight, is exemplified In what one does to make someone else nappy. The glory of the stars in one's heart-heaven touches the sensitized hope of all humanity's best. Just the minute that you do something that thrills your sense of service. Our work always glows greatest when we do it to please someone else. Most of the finest work in the world is done in quiet corners, far from crowd3 and applause, where nobility of thought may germinate and where perspectives may be rightly shaped. Time never grows heavy on one'a hands when the good of someone else is visioned in front. What is the essence of happiness, anyway? Nothing else than to have won in pleasing and inspiring someone else! Touching other lives, spurring the disheartened, teaching faith while embodying in it your own life, having a hand always to lend this is a work to grip the nterest of the humblest and make him great among men. You are always paid in advance when you work to please someone else. And there is nothing more worth while!

TREASURE ISLAND BY ROBERT LOUIS STEVENSON Condensation by Alice G. Grozier

The Church Federation Efforts to establish a county church federation to develop the religious side of the community seem to be on the highway to success. The movement is non-sectarian and has a broad platform as its basis. There is no doubt that the war has presented many problems to the church, which it is trying to solve. One of them seems to be the development of a harmonious and united co-operation in the attainment of objects for which the church stands. Wayne county will present no obstacles to a speedy formation of the federation and the execution of its mission. The simultaneous evangelistic campaign, which is to be launched, is one of the endeavors of the federation. Churches will derive as much benefit from federation as is derived by business and commercial organization who seek the advancement

Liberty Bonds "The change undergone in the market for Liberty bonds of all issues in the last few weeks is one which ought to and will engage popular attention because of the direct interest the people have in ownership of these bonds," says the New York Herald. ''The better quotations are due to the government and all government agencies having urged the people to hold on to the bonds, and also to the fact that the country is full of 'bargain hunters,' who have bid for bonds in the hands of many people unable to hold them. "It goes without saying that the United States government bonds are the best investment in the world. They never should be sacrificed by the holder. If only part payment has been made, this is an inducement to be thrifty and to work t o complete the payments. Every man or. woman who has a government bond of any denomination is a real participator in the financial welfare of the country, and therefore a better American. Every possessor of a government bond should employ every effort to keep it. Certain to increase in value, a government bond is not only an' excellent investment but a badge of good citizenship."

What Other Editors Say

YANK COURIERS ON THE JOB Eleanor Frank' in Egan in the Saturday Evening Post OUR courier service in Europe was most extraordinary. Shortly after the armistice went into effect a number of young American officers carefully selected were detached from other duty and were pent forth one by one to open mail loutes to practically every point ia the world with which the American government might wish to communicate. There was a courier service during the war, of course, across the Atlantic and in and out of all the Allied countries; but the routes of war couriers, though dangerous and devious at times, were laid out for them, whereas the toutes of the armistice couriers routes leading into the enemy countries and to the far away places had to be

rosed out, so to speak, by themselves. The whole world;

beyond the one time western front was in utter confusion, but by degrees and by the exercise of native wit and personal initiative they managed to open the ways and to establish for themselves an almost exact routine. Until camo a time when on nearly any train freight, passenger or mixed, usually mixed one or more of them wa8 to be encountered with sacks of precious mail, more often than not loaded with international diplomatic dynamite or heavy with bundles of real legal tender. They demanded respect for their uniform and their important duty in such a manner that everything and everyfbody gave way before them more or less as traffic gives way before an ambulance or the fire department, and ;they were so much swifter and surer than the telegraph jfervice that they usually brought in confirmations of telegrams before the telegrams 1 themselves arrived. The pecord is goodness knows how many thousands of important packages and how many millions of pieces of Tnail and never a single loss. There are a good many of these boys back in the United States now, wearing on their uniforms, at the top of the left sleeve, a little greyhound embroidered on a

blue medallion. They are of the Order of the Greyhound and they intend to form a club and got together once in a while to reminisce over a bottle of grape juice. They are the kind of boys who might be trusted on occasion with a bottle of beer or even with a little distilled sunshine, but on the whole they are not the kind of boys who dreaded to come home because there were no such joys to be enjoyed in their own country. They toted guns, guarded sleeplessly for comfortless days on end the kind of treasures that are sealed in brown canvas and leather bound bags stamped "U. S. Mail" and they lived mostly

cn canned corned beef, army biscuits and lukewarm bottled water. This I know because I traveled with them all over Europe.

MORAL HESSIANS Trom the Chicago Tribune. American soldiers were Eent to France because the United States thought it was imperative that Germany be defeated. That was a necessary military undertaking and it was accomplished. American soldiers were sent to Archangel on an undertaking not understood and not accomplished. They were misdirected by foreign officers, and suffered uselessly and long in arctic fighting. American soldiers were sent to Siberia to be insulted by Japanese and mistreated, flogged in at least one instance by Cossacks. American marines were landed on the Dalmatian coast to oppose the Italians. Now are they to be sent to Silesia to supervise and conduct a plebiscite, to be custodians of an election determining the disposition of territory? If they are sent there we might as well realize that we are on our way to Armenia also. We are heading in every direction in which trouble and nothing but trouble is to be found. American soldiers ought to be used for American purposes and -o others. They have no business in enterprises which do not concern the United States. They are not Hessians, not even moral and altruistic Hessians.

Squire Trelawney, Doctor Livesey and the others have bidden me tell the story of our search for old Buccaneer Flint's hidden treasure, and so I go back to the time when my father kept the Admiral Bc-nbow inn. Then it was that the seaman, Bill Bones, came to us for lodging, his sea chest following after in a handbarrow. At his request we called him "Captain"; he settled down, always on the watch for a "seaman with one leg;" and constantly singing an old season g: "Fifteen. men on the dead man's chest, Yo-lfo-ho, and a bottle of rum! Drink and the devil had done tor the rest Yo-ho-ho, and a bottle of rum!" Then one day an old blind man left him the pirate's "summons" or "black spot," which so excited him that, combined with the effect of his rum drinking, it brought on a stroke, and we found him dead upon the floor Mother and I opened his sea chest, where I discovered a packet done up in oil-silk; this I toot? with me, and as soon as I could, went to the doctor's house, where I found him v. uh the squire. To them I told the story of the happenings at the inn, and gave them the packet. "You have heard of Flint, I suppose?" laughed the doctor, as he handled the packet. "Heard of him!" said the squire, "heard of him, you say! He was the blood-thirstiest buccaneer that ever sailed! If we have here the clue to old Flint's treasure, as you seem to think, then I'll fit out a "ship in Bristol, take you and Hawkins here along, and I'll have that treasure if 1 search a year!" When they opened the packet, there fell out the map of an island, with every particular needed to bring a ship to safe anchorage on its shore, and full directions for finding the treasure. "Tomorrow," said the squire, "I start for Bristol; in two weeks yes, in ten days, we'll have the best ship, sir. and the choicest crew in England. You shall be ship's doctor, Livesey, Jim cabin boy and I am admiral." But it was longer than the squire expected ere we were ready for sea In the meantime I went to Bristol also, and while looking over the ship and around the dock, I discovered that our cook was a seaman with one leg. He was very domineering with the crew, but servile and smiling to the rest. I began to have my suspicions but be was so dorp and clever that my doubts of "Long John Silver" were soon quieted. We settled aboard our ship the Hispaniola with Captain Smollet in command; then one morning, a little before dawn, the boatswain sounded his pipe and the crew began to man the capstan bars. "Now Barbecue, tip us a stave," cried a voice. "The old one," cried another. "Ay, ay, mates," said Long John, who was standing by with his crutch

under his arm. and at once broke into) the air and words I knew so well: i "Fifteen men on the do?d man's chest"!

the crew coming m on the chorus; and then we were off on our cruise for the treasure. At sundown one evening, I went to the apple barrel for an apple, and finding them low. I got into the barrel bodily and being rather sleepy, sat there a while in the dark; soon a heavy man sat. down with a crash nearby; I was about to jump out when I heard John Silver's voice and kept very still. Before he had said a dozen words I knew that all honest men aboard were in great danger. Well, I made the discovery that Long John and most of the crew were old shipmates of Bill Bones and John Flint; they knew the object of our voyage, and were planning to do away with our party and get the treasure for themselves. A moment more and the lookout shouted "Land Ho!" and we anchored at "Captain Kidd's anchorage," according to the chart. I told the doctor and the squire what I had heard, and they had the captain send the crew ashore, so that we might have an opportunity to talk matters over. It was decided that we must go on, and we counted those we could trust, only to find that we were but six against nineteen. The next morning It wa3 plain that mutiny hung over us like a thundercloud. Captain Smollet thought it best to give the crew shore leave, and a party was made up including Silver. Some of the men, however, remained aboard. I suddenly took it into my head to go ashore, too, and slipned unseen over the side and into the forward sheets of the nearest boat; as soon as the bow struck among the shore-side trees, I caught a branch and swung ashore, making off into the nearby thicket. I cannot tell all the details of the voyage; they were many and exciting, but one or two happentegs I must tell. While wandering about in the thicket I came upon a wild looking man who said he was a seaman, Ben Gunn, marooned on the island three years before. I got his story and he ours; he was a great help to us as you shall see. In the meantime our party had aban

doned the ship and taken up the fight ashore. I had a notion to get out to the ship, cut her adrift and let her go ashore where she would, and so prevent the mutineers irom sailing away in her; and remembering Ben Gunn's mention of a coracle which he had made and put in hiding, I set out to find it; being succesful I made my way to the ship, and laying hold of her hawser, was about to finish cutting her loose when I heard voices from the cabin; one I recognized as that of the coxswain Israel Hands, the other was a sailor whose name I did not know. Both were drunk and when I got a look at them through the cabin window, I saw that they were in a death's grip. The strong current bad by this parted the last strand of the hawser which I had left, and both coracle and ship were adrift; with a leap I caught at the job boom, and clung panting, left without retreat on the Hispaniola. When I got aft I found the sailor dead, and Hands ia a sad condition. He was friendly enough while helpless, but as he grew stronger he asserted himself and issued orders, which I obeyed until the ship was round in the low wooded north inlet. The excitement of the last manoeuvers had interfered with my watch upon the coxswain, but something caused me to turn my head, when I saw the fellow half way towards me with his dirk in his hand; he chased me around the deck trying to corner me; quick as thought I sprang Into the mizzen shrouds and rattled up hand over hand into the cross-trees; none too soon, the dirk had struck not a foot below me as I climbed. Now I primed my pistols and reloaded, and Hands seeing this, knew that the dice were against him; in spite of this he started up after me. "One more step, Mr. Hands," said I, "and I'll blow your brains out!" I saw his right hand go up over his shoulder, something like an arrow through the air. and I was pinned to the mast both my pistols went off and escaped from my hands, but they did not fall alone; with a choking cry tire coxswain losed his grasp and plunged down head first and I saw him through the clear water lying on the sand beneath. I found that I was held simply by the skin of my arm and pulling ravse!f free, I finally got ashore, and with difficulty reached my friends. They had had some fierce battling with the mutineers, but in the end a f.ag of truce appeared and Silver came forward to bargain. The doctor, mjch to the surprise of all, gave him the chart: but this was explained later, for when they dug for the treasure and reached the bottom of the cache, nothing was found but a broken pick and a board with the word "Walrus" burnt into it the name of Flint's ship! Ben Gunn was the real hero. Early in his stay on the island he had come upon the treasure, and with great difficulty transported it to a cave and hidden it: seventeen hundred thousand pounds in minted money of all nations, besides heavy bars of gold. The doctor had wormed the secret out of Ben Gunn and then arranged to give the chart to Silver knowing that the cache was empty. We piled the treasure aboard the ship, set sail and finally reached a pert on the Mexican coast, where we added to our crew. After a good voyage wo reached home just as friends of the squire were about starting out ia search of the Hispaniola.
