Cascade Butter

You can not buy better butter anywhere
than the Cascade Brand. It's made from
sweet pasteurized cream, modern meth
ods, and at such a low price now, that no
one can afford to use a cheap, inferior
grade. Do not confuse the price with
Dairy Butter.

NEW TURK. May 13 The am
ount ol attention which has been at
tracted to the rnnrmmu shipments oi
njunttlons and rood muffs to the
warring nations in Kurope has over
shadowed the growth of American
commerce In other fields, so it is
somewhat surprising to find from fig
ures which have ben recently com
piled that the trade of the United
States with South American coun
tries during the past year has In
creased about 1150,000,000 over that
of 1S14. The increase In Imports!
alone amounts to approximately 1100,-1
000.000 The principal articles
brought Into the United stateB fromj
South American countries during
191i consisted of coffee, cocoa and
rubhi r from Brazil, wool from. Argen
tina, and copper and Iron from Chin.
The fresh beef and corn Imported
from Argentina during 1916 unc
ounted to less than half that of
1914. The total imports from South
America during 1915 totalled $222,
000,000, while the value of the ex
ports from the United States wa
1145,000,000, an increase over the
year 1914 of the total trade with that,
continent of $147,000,000. Another
Interesting feature in the development
of foreign trade Is the fact that dyej
and dyestuffs are being received from
new quarters of the world, owing to
the embargo which England has plac
ed on exports of dyes from Germany
During recent months large Importa
tions of dyes and dyestuffs have been
received from China, which hereto
fore has never supplied this country
with these materials.

"Quality and Service"
WE invite your inspection in
our plant whether a custo
mer or not, to see the modern
and up-to-date way of handling your lin
ens, which are given the most careful attention.
"We Cater to the Public
Telephone 173
Our automobile delivery will give you prompt service
ed between representatives of the dif
ferent orders of train operatives and
officials of the railways regarding
the demands of the labor men for an
advance in wages which the railway
officers ussert would cost the road
and ultimately the public, nearly
(1 0:,000,000, some interesting com
parisons have been brought out. From
this It appears that engineers and
conductors who are the highest paid
of all train operatives represent the
real aristocracy of the working world.
Whereas the worker In a steel mill
receives only 100 a year on the av
erage, the men who drive the loco
motives enjoy a yearly income of
$1750 on the average, according to
figures contained in reports to the in
terstate commerce commission, while
many of them work six hours a day
or less To workers in the leather,
clothing and simalar trades with their
long hours, yealy earnings of $480 to
$800 and frequent protracted periods
of idleness, the lot of the railway
workers must seem to be fairly ideal.
Conductors fare almost as well as the
engineers, earning on the average
$1420 u year with similar hours. Ev
en the trainman who carries the red
flag and calls out the names of sta
tions In unintelligible terms draws
over $1000 a year for this service
Contrasting the yearly earnings ot
these workers with the $500 which is
the average yearly stipend of the
country's lawyers, doctors and clergi -men,
the conclusion must be drawn
that the youthful ambition which fix
es the locomotive cab or the red
freight cuboose as its ultimate goal
in preference to one of the learned
professions is not altogether mis
guided The police boat Patrol, tor almost
twenty-five years the terror of pi
rates along the river front of New
York has been ordered sold bv the
police commissioner and will be re-J
placed by a new vessel which will be;
the most modern police boat In the
United States. When the Patrol was
built In 18(3, there were few vessels
engaged In depredations along the
water front' which she csuld not ov
erhaul. Late each night she would
leave her wharf at the Battery and
stealing up Xorth or East river with
lights out frequently interrupted
thieves in the act of removing parts j
of cargoes and freight boats to their :
own craft. So greatly was the Pa-j
trol feared that frequently entries'
would be posted at the Battery and !
when the Patrol would leave for her'
nightly tour of inspection the guard
Would telephone to his confederates
the direction taken by the vessel. But
her activities were not confined to
this class of work alone. The rec-i
cords show that she frequently met I
returning excursion boats upon whicn
fights had broken out and assisted in
restoring order. There are also many
instances where she braved stormy
seas outside of Sandy Hook to rescue
disabled pleasure nd fishing boats.
The new boat will be 100 feet In
length, motor driven and built on the
lines of a torpedo boat destroyer, at
taining a speed of 21 miles an hour
With such a craft it will be possible
to reach the most remote points on
the city water front In half an hour.
While the plan of Increasing the.
army and navy of the United States
and putting this country In a position
to meet the aggressions of any for
eign power, meets with the approval
of the business men or this city, con
siderable interest is manifested by
them as to the manner in which the
money Is to be raised to place the
country In a state of preparedness. It j
Is admitted by all that the sum re-
quired for this purpose will run into!
the hundreds of millions. Many sug.J
gestions have been made by members
of congress such as imposing a tax
on gasoline, movng picture films,
graphophone records and automobile
tires, but the first definite step taken
In this direction has been the intro
duction of a bill In the house repeal
ing the free sugar provision of th;
tariff law which was enacted In 1911..
Since the letentlon or Hie Sugar duty
is practically assured as the bill has
become a party measure through ac
tion by the democratic caucus, this
simply mean.- that the government re
tains $50,000,000 a year revenue
which It Is now enjoying. It does not,
however, lead to the solution of the
problem of raising the additional rev
enue required. New Yorkers are
watching developments In congress on
this subject with great interest be
cause of intimations that they will be
called upon to pay a large proportion
of any amount that may be raised by
special taxation.
Considerable mystery Is attached
to the ownership of the finest pearl
necklace which ever reached this
country, and possibly the finest in
the world, which arrived at the port
of New York recently. Its arrival
was surrounded with secrecy, and the
silence of the customs ortlcoials who
examined It for appraisal was main
tained even after news of Its arrival
had leaked out. There are fiftj
pearls in the string and it is estimat
ed that It is worth $1,000,000. All the
pearls are perfectly matched and ot
wonderful size and lustre, and it is
said that there is only one possible ri
val in the world far first place am
ong pearl collectors. The necklace
was sent to this country by a noted
London dealer and when the Jewelry
trade of this city learned that it
:ame from him, it led to the suspic
ion that it was the same necklace
which was stolen from the registered
mail while In transit between London
and Paris in 1913. This necklace
was valued at that time at $625,000
and was only recovered after a re
ward of $50,000 had been offered. It
was picked up in the streets of Lon
don by a poor laborer, and it is sup
posed that the robbers, finding It im
possible to dispose of the necklace on
account of its fame, threw it away.
While the Identity of the owner of
the necklace which has Just arrived
Is shrouded in mystery, It is safe to
assume that one of the multi-millionaires
of the country Is the purchaser
