WHAT TO DO WITH FOREIGN TRADE IF U. S. CATCHES IT

NEW YORK, Dec. 1 Wall street's highest men realize that today, in the matter of the country's foreign trade, we are in precisely the same position as the traveling salesman, who, standins: on the platform of an Illinois prairie town, waiting for a local train, paw thp solid ten-car steel Twentieth Century flash by. followed by a small undersized dag. Strolling into the station the salesman, with a laugh, told the agent what he had seen, winding up with: "Do you suppose that fool dog ever expects to catch that train?" "I don't know," was the reply. "That's my dog, and he does that very rame thing, every day. What I am always asking myself is not whether he really expects to catch it, but what he expects to do with It if he should catch it?" When the European war broke out our annual export trade amounted to 2,tl3,000,00", with imports footing up $1,787,000,000, making a balance in our tavor of $324,000,000. That was in 1914. Up to that time some of our most far-seeing captains of industry had visions at times of building up the country's foreign trade. But until the war nothing ever " came of those dreams. From 1914 to end of 1918 our exports to foreign countries Jumped from $2,113,000,000 to $6,150,000,000 with the balance of trade in our favor.

mounting up from $324,000,000 to

$3,119,000,000. Exports Grow. For the ten months of 1919, accord

irg to the figures just given out at Washington, we exported $6,500,000. 000 worth of merchandise, leaving a balance in our favor of $3,388,000,000. more than the record-breaking figures for the whole of last year. For the month of October alone this year our exports were $632,000,000, leaving a trade balance of $216,000,000. That balance for the month of October alone compares with the balance of $114,000,000 reported for the ten months of 1914 up to the end of October. But now that we have It. many times more than the most visionary of our captains of industry ever dreamed of catching, what are we going to do with it? During the past five years, owing to the conditions existing in wafridden Europe our unprecedented foreign trade has Just grown up like "Topsy;" but In normal business does not Just happen. A merchant with orders on his books has to go out and pet them. He has to meet competition. And one of the most vital problems for him to solve in meeting competition is in the matter of granting credit on the new business being solicited.

A. H. Rodefeld, of the Rodefeld Manufacturing company, City Attor

ney Byram Robbing, and Alonzo Gardner, head of the city planning commission will meet with the board of works

and city engineer Thursday morning. The beard of works wishes to buy the property owned by Rodefeld, on the west side of the Main street bridge, to build an approach. Superintendent of Schools Bentley appeared before the board as representative of the board of education and asked that speed warning signs be erected in the neighborhood of schoolhouses. It was estimated that it would take at least four dozen signs to guard the approaches to the 11 schools in the city. The board instructed the city engineer to investigate the cost of the

signs and promised Mr. Bentley assistance as soon as possible. The matter will probably not be taken care of until after Jan. 1. John E.

Alarm Clock Betrays

Poker Players to Cops CHICAGO, Dec. 1. The clock dial showed 1:30 a. m. The men hitched iheir chairs up a few inches nearer the table and cuddled their chips. "The cops won't be around for another hour." said Floyd Voltz. 510 Linden avenue, Winnetka. "The alarm is set for 2:30. Let's make hay." The hay making began In the course of time David Wood of 10S2 Spruce street won a pot. "That's fine," he said, reaching for the chips. "And as soon as you pick them up," said a voice from the dark, "you can come with us." Policemen Bersdorff and Iverson strode onto the scene. The players with a gasp looked at the clock. It was H o'clock. The alarm had betrayed them.

SOUTH DAKOTA WILL NAME PRESIDENTIAL ENTRIES TOMORROW

WASHINGTON, D. C, Dec. 1. The first state to select candidates for president, vice president, senators and representatives, and state offices is South Dakota. The selections will be made Tuesday at conventions in the state capital, Pierre. In view of the fact that this will be the very first attempt to select national candidates, much interest centers in the coming conventions. Friends of MaJ. Gen. Leonard Wood have made a strong drive for his nomination on the Republican ticket. Gov. Lowden, Illinois, and other Republicans mentioned for the nomination, will be put forward also. The Democrats are being urged by Senator Johnson, South Dakota, to select President Wilson as their nominee. The senator believes this compliment should be paid the chief executive whether he is to be a candidate or not. Yearning of the Democrats. On the other hand, the supporters of McAdoo, Pomerene and Palmer are anxious to have the first state to nom

inate come out for their candidate. Senator Johnson, up for re-election next year, has declined absolutely to be a candidate to succeed himself, although he has been urged strongly. He has large agricultural interests in South Dakota and he feels that he is needed there. Several other Democrats have been

mentioned as candidates for the senate, if Senator Johnson does not run. They are MaJ. Lewis W. Bicknell, Webster; Robert E. Dowdell, Artesian, and P. T. McClure, Pierre. Republicans are expected to nominate the present governor, Peter Nor beck, for the senate. The selection of candidates will be made under the Richards primary law. The nominating conventions are made up of the so-called proposal commit teemen, each county being represented by three proposal committeemen. They are supposed to be uninstructed when they assemble. The nominations are then proposed and acted upon. If the nominees do not accept within thirty days, then at a subsequent convention, their placea may be filled. Unless a candidate for office is nominated Tuesday, however, or to fill a vacancy at the ensuing convention caused by the refusal of a nominee to make the race held in the early spring, he must make the race as an independent, and not on the ticket of the parties which have met in convention under the primary law. The Democratic proposal convention and the Republican are scheduled to meet on the same day.

Weather Holds Back Farm Work, Says Weekly Report

Little work has been accomplished on Indiana farms during the past week on account of unfavorable weather conditions, according to the weekly crop report of George C. Bryant, field agent of the co-operative crop reporting service. "Little corn was husked during the week," the report tays, "although the demand is somewhat stronger and the car shortage materially relieved, the movement of corn is very 6lowr. The farmers are

holding for better prices. In some sections, wheat sowing continued to J

the end of last week, but the ground is cold and wet, and it is believed the seed will rot. The acreage is very much shorter this year and Hessian fly ln all sections of the state has never been more numerous at this

season of the year. Pasturing sheep I on some of the early sown fields may save part of it, but this is being done only in a few localities. In some places j rye has been sown in the wheat. There is no disease among live stock in any section of the state with the i

exception of a case of hog cholera ln scattered sections."

PETER KRUYER DIED OF CARDIAC ASTHMA, BELIEF INDIANAPOLIS. Dec. 1. Dr. W. H. Nusbaum, an Indianapolis physician, who had been treating Peter J. Kruyer internal revenue collector, who was found dead Friday in his office at South Bend, advanced the theory yesterday that Mr. Kruyer did not commit suicide, but that his death resulted from cardiac asthma, a disease with which he was afflicted. Dr. Nusbaum bases his theory on a letter received by him from Mr. Kruyer Nov. 13, in which the revenue collec
