UOYDS RAISE RATES
On January 5th the great house of
Lloyds, of London, raised marine insur
ance rate 6 percent because of theprob
ability cf war between Germany and
France. These rate to cover losses by
wartj July 1st, - -
Some idea of the significance, In an in
crease in marine insurance may be had
by considering the volume of our foreign
trade that goes and comet on ocean go
ing ships. In the ten months ending
with October 1905 . American
steam ships brough us from for
eign countries for consumption $134,
611,436 worth of stuffs, and American
sailing vessels carried to us $8,363,902
worth, making a total of pur import in
American owned ships at $143,035,338.
For the same ten month there came to
us from foreign countries in foreign jail
ing vessel for consumption $16,863,-
769 worth of merchandise, and $763,-
186,713 worth came in steam ships a
total in foreign owned ship of $770,-
050,482 worth of imported merchandise
that came in foreign ship. ' The total
imports of foreign merchandise in the U.
S. for the ten months ending with Oct
1905 was $913,035,820 worth of which
but 15.66 percenter a little over one
sixth of our imports is carried to us ir.
our own ship whii five sixth come in
foreign owned ships.
For the ten months ending with October j
1 905 the exports of domestic merchan
dise from the U. S. by sea were valued
at $1,096,013,872, of th!a $113,137,-
655 : went in our own ships or ten per
cent of our exports of domestic or home
produced stuff only was carried in
American owned ships.
THIM FIRST
Right thinking is the foundation cf right
living. To live the highest life of which
we, as human beings, are capable, we
must firmly believe and live up to our
belief that we can, and should most res
olutely master our thoughts as well as
our action; and that we must control
the mental pictures ir. which we indulge
a8 much as the words which issue from
our lip. As a man "thinketh in his
heart so is he." Thoughts generate
feeling. When discouraged and de
pressed, lift up your chest take an atti
tude of courage and speak these words
severa times, sowy and earnestly:
"Faith, hope, courage." When sensitive
over ill-ireatment. take the correct phy
sical attitude and say, several times,
slowly and earnestly: "Love, patience,
forgiveness," and see if you don't feel
better.
Why not hold a poultry show?' Other
counties are arranging for such an exhi
bition and we certainly have the material
in Union county with which to make a
creditable showing. The poultry industry
is of suScient importance to demand at
tention and should receive the recognition
which it deserve. The Union county
hen is of mora importance than many
realize. It i not too late to hold, a suc
cessful poultry show yet thi season.
Who will be the first to make, the start?
Let some one issue a call to the, poultry
growers. Lead out ' ,

the next and the next. If that 1 true
every ection of Union county who be
lieve that thi county should not be sep
arated should stand in and see tha! no
man is sent to the legislature who will
favor any such action, and is not afraid
to so announce himself on this impor
tant subject. It means much more to
the tax payer of this county that the
county remain under one separate gov-
ernment than who is to represent this
district in congress.
