JUGOSLAVIA ENJOYS ERA OF PROSPERITY! EXPORT FOODSTUFFS

'By Associated Press) AG RAM, Jugoslavia. Dec. 23. Jugoslavia, for the first time In years, is exporting foodstuffs. She is sending out every day enough hogs to provide America with ham and bacon for a week. Of the three great household staples, butter, cheese and eggs, she la also exporting immense quantities. Her abundance of food may be judged I y the fact that the current price of butter is 17 cents a pound, of cheese 13 cents a pound, and of eggs 10 cents a dozen. Bereft of horses and livestock during the war, the Serbians now are actually exporting animals by lhe thousands. They recently sold 20.000 horses to the Greeks. The countryside Is swarming with sheep and goats, for which it is difficult to find a market. But pigs are the prize product of the kingdom. Every farmstead has hundreds of them. A young suckling an be purchased here for the price of a rabbit in the United States. All through the war Serbia had to lean on other countries for its "staff of life." bread. But today her stoeks of wheat are so great that she could return her wartime favors by feeding other countries. Her last crops have bren among her greatest A pound loaf of bread in any part of the kingdom costs three cents. The coarse black bread that during the war-trying years held the nation together is now only a memory. White bread and cake are the daily ration even of the poorest. Remarkable Recovery The little Slav state has made a truly remarkable recovery from the "ar. Everywhere one sees great abundance in all the necessaries of life, happiness and health among the I'pople, and a definite effort at reconstructing the country. The country's marvellous rehabilitation may be set down as due principally to the industry, common seuse r.nd determination of her thrifty men and women; secondly, to the absence of bolshevism; thirdly, to the immense moral impetus given the population by America and other generous neighbors in the days when the country was destitute and tottering. The aid given by such organizations as the American Relief Commission was especially timely and ' effective. Rifles and swords of the sanguinary days of 1314-1917 are now replenished by the scythe and ploughshare. As an earnest desire for peace, she has today in uniform only 175,000 soldiers, ;i relatively small number for a nation of 16,000.000 people.
