CHEER UP!
These are dark days for the world.
The shadovvor the war is heavier than
ever on all hearts, whatever theirsym-
vvalhies. There is little exultatloli now
even in victories, for we know at what

is Won.
But there are many things besides
war in the world. Ex’cept for our ac-
tive imaginations, most of us would
feel me running on pretty much as
usual. There'is the same. sunshine, the
same life-giving air, the same autumn

leaving me 29 cents to spend on

Now my husband never buys any
socks, ties, handkerchiefs or anything

him supplied with what he needs; also
that I should save something each

you think he does?"

TRADE BALANCE 'AGAlllSl
'IJS WHEN WAR ENDS
WASHINGTON, Oct. 18. (Special
Correspondence.)——Whethor the Unit—
ed States can hope to hold its place as
the leading export “nation of the
world, is a problem now receiving the
attention of the business men of Am-
erica. it was the European war that
gave the United States its present
preeminence. What will happen
when the war shall close is the gmat
question which very properly causes
anxiety Among men who are financial-
ly interested in the continuance of
that partially restored prosperity now
prevailing in some sections of the
country. ..-.
Men whfl accustomed to deal-
ing with 7 logos. rather than
theories.*nnd who build on reasonable
certainties. rather than on possf'lllfi-
ties, do not overlook the fact that in
July, 1914. just before the outbreak
of the European war. then was a very
alarming balance of trade against the
United States. They will not forget
that the balance : of trade turned
against us soon after the "tarilf‘for-
revenue-only" policy was decided upon
v by the election of a Democratic admin-
istration and that it was only the con-
ditions developed by the European
war which turned the tide in our
‘favor.
Will the balance of' trade tum
against us again when the cause
which turned it in our favor has been
removed? Most business men are an-
swering this question in the ammo.
tive, believing that since it was “war
orders" that formed the basis of a
favorable trade balance, that balance
can continue only so long as the war
shall remain a factor in interna-
tional commerce. :
There are several facts which no
one disputes:
First, the call of millions or men
in Europe fromindustrial activity to
military operations decreased produc-
tion on that continent. 4
Second, the war not only decreased
production abroad but destroyed many
productsalready mapufactured, and
created new and, enormous markets.
Third, the “culminate producing no
