The South American business Is open to this country If our people desire the trade. It should not be hard for American houses to line up the South American business because Europe is eff the map, commercially speaking. Then our federal government Is lend ing effective support to those who may desire to extend our commerce. The new banking law permits of the es tablishment of branch banks abroad and one such bank has already been established In Buenos Aires. The Wilson administration also favors gov ernment owned steamship lines so as to promote new trade routes. The bill will pass the coming congress If the manufacturers of this country want it passed. If the bill fails It will be because the commercial In terests that would profit by such ac tivity by the government sit still and ellow the private steamship Interests to work the defeat of the measure. To what stent will our manufac turers exert themselves to secure South American business Will they go after this trade in true old time American style or will they hang back and continue to howl because the new tariff law takes away some profits they were formerly getting without earning them? In any enterprise, be it road build lng or something else, It is of prime 1 m portance to What Do You make sure of hav- Think About It? ing the right plan before proceeding with actual work. Too often this "head work" is neglected and blun ders are made as a result People can afford to spend time and money learning what to do and what not to do before they enter upon any big building program. It Is better to learn all the facts before a start Is made than to learn those facts later In sorrow. These comments are apropo the story carried yesterday by the East Oreaonian setting forth the state highway commission will. If request ed, make a survey for a road to Cold Springs and will make a survey of a proposed highway from Pendleton to Umatilla Why would it not be a good plan to have the commission do such work. The commission has some experienced road engineers and they will be able to look at the problems before them without any sectional bias. It la reasonable to suppose their work would be reliable and that 1s what is desired. Both these roads are of groat public Interest and Im portance and the people wish to know the full facts as to what U best to do and as to what the work will cost. Why not ask the county court to ar range for the surveys so aa to secure this Information III! -- There Is a gTand opportunity for the United states to enter upon a trade conquest of A Grand 11ian South America Jr I n.

Complaints to this ef feet have been received by the de partment of agriculture from other sections of the country. There has al so been complaint that men having no connection whatever with the de partment of agriculture have been posing as inspectors, evidently for purposes of extortion. Accordingly a warning against such men has been Issued by the depart ment and Is contained In the news letter to crop correspondents for Dec. 2. According to this statement there is no specific remedy for foot and mouth disease. The germ has never been isolated and there is no serum that will act either as a cure or as a preventative. Anyone having any such remedy to sell may be branded as an Imposter. This warning should not be neces sary In Oregon as there Is no foot and mouth disease in this state. How ever the widespread agitation over the disease aroused by the quarantine in the states affected my have en couraged the grafters to get to work regardless of the situation in Oregon. of women. The Cuban government must have recognized the Importance of giving them a larger share In the discussion of the questions of the hour when it appointed Senora Blanche Zacharle de Baralt to repre sent the nation, as well as the Wom an's Club of Havana, during the Bos ton exposition, where this collaborator on the DIuro de la Marina spoke in terestingly on the leading problems confronting the Cuban women of to day. Not full political participation, but gradual comprehension of the eco nomic issues that make for Cuban nationalism is what the women of Cu ba are most in need of now, accord ing to Madame . de Baralt. Here again Cuba has to learn Its lesson else where. But as the country Is now solving the problem of coeducation and enlarged home activity, so it may also teach the advantage of allowing old Spanish-American institutions and customs to be superseded by what Is better suited to the needs of the pres. ent.

History furnishes plenty of evi dence that It is not always the great nations, those Cuba mt with age-long Teacher and Pupil, traditions and vast populations that give to the world its most valu able object lessons. ' The offshoot fre quently supplants the tree In virility. and small countries with their com pact organizations, often set the ex amples that in time are emulated by great domains. Cuba, as a younger sister among the Independent govern ments in the western hemisphere, is a eaj in- point showing that transi tion from the old to the new nearly always makea for progress. Going to school frequently Is a trial for a nation, but while Cuba has shown itself an apt pupil the Cubans also have many things which It may benefit other people to understand better. For instance, with greater freedom coming to women in many parts of the world, Cuba, has ad vanced Ideas which have not been ac cepted by some of the much larger South and Central American coun tries. In Havana a movement has been begun which, while not meas uring up to what the United States can present, is a tremendous advance In giving women the opportunity to take their stand In the struggle for economic Independence.- The Cuban press, as enterprising, by the way, as any to be found in Spanish America opens lja columns freely to the affairs halted From the several conventions of The Hague.)

Every summer $1500 worth of fruit Is marketed from those five acres and the owner says that when he finally leaves the shop and can fglve his full attention to hla land he can easily sell $2000 worth.
