THE POLK COUNTY OBSERVER. TUESDAY, JULY 28, 1914. U.S. MUST IMPORT MANY ARTICLES Reports Tell What Countries Supply This Nation. VALUE INCREASING FAST. III l! Poffee Comes Exclusively From Brazil and Central America Many Valu able Products Sent From American Insular Possessions Tables Give Interesting Data. Washington. Of great practical val ue to the American business man seek ing information regarding foreign mar kets for tile goods whlel) be bandies or tbo sources of imported raw mate rials and of goods competing witb do mestic products are two publications presenting details witb respect to ev ery Important article exported from or Imported into tbe United States, pre pared by the bureau of foreign and do mestic commerce, department of com merce. It Is Interesting to note, for example, tbat coffee is now supplied almost ex clusively by Brazil, Central America and other tropical countries of tbe western hemisphere; tbat sugar, for merly Imported In large quantities from Java and the sugar beet countries of Europe, is now chiefly supplied by Cuba, the Philippines and tbe domes tic product. Including Hawaii and I'or to Itlco, and tbat champagne shows constantly diminishing Importations as a result of tbo rapidly expanding borne output. American factories consume great quantities of imported materials, last year's Imports including SI50.000,. BOO worth of libers. $80,000,000 wortb of raw silk, $100,000,000 worth each of India rubber and hides. These are mere examples of tbe more than GOO dill'er ent classes of articles , whose sources are shown In a section of "Commerce and Navigation of tbe United Stales" ind which include such widely varied Items as asbestos, beads, camphor, hu man balr. Ivory, kapok, rattans, toys, mushrooms and zinc. Of even more Interest to the Ameri can producer is another section, ex ports of merchandise from the United States to foreign countries, from which may be ascertained those parts of tbe world In which our raw materials, foodstuffs and manufactures are being successfully sold and those yet to be entered. Thus, while the Iron and steel Industry exports goods to every Important country, with sales over (300.000.000 In value per annum, and tbe automobile Industry Is making each year a new high record, the cot ton manufacturing Industry exports less than JiiO.000.000 worth of its prod ucts each year, mostly to the nonman nfacturiug countries of Asia and Amer ica. The distribution abroad of tbe less conspicuous articles of commerce Is likewise indicated. Athletic and snort ing goods, breakfast foods, aeroplanes, motion picture tllnm, cement, chewing gum, confectionery and teeth are typi cal Items chosen at random from the report, which also shows that we ex port large quantities of dynamos to Englnnd. of telephones to Canada, of optical Instruments to (ieruiany and France, of stoves and ranges to the Kongo and other tropical countries, and of ice to Canada. The aggregate value of articles Im ported Is shown to have Increased from $1,312,000,000 In IIKW to JI.JH3.000.000 In 11)13, while the value of articles ex ported tins Increased from $1.(1:18.000,. 000 to $2,420,000,000 In the same period. EGGS BY MAIL UNSCRAMBLED. Only Small Per Cent of Breakage In Recent Experiments. Washington. That eggs can be mar keted successfully by pnrcel post is tbe conclusion reached by the depart ment ef agriculture as the result of extended experiments. It was dem onstrated to the satisfaction of the de partment that this method of shipment frequently secured u better price for tbe producer and a fresher article for the consumer. Tbe exiierlments. It is stated, fur ther showed that tlie parcel post was of particular value to the man whose flock was too small or who lives too far from express service to permit him to ship bis eggs In regular commercial cases. In tbe course of the experiments, which extended over a period of five months, the department shipped 9.131 eggs In 400 lots by moll from various points under varying conditions and in different types of containers, or these 327. or slightly less than 3.6 per cent, were broken, but only ViOO, or a little less than 2.3 per cent were ab solutely wasted. Tbe others, though broken, could still be used. The percentage of breaknee will be greatly reduced. It Is said, when postal employee become more accustomed to handling such fragile matter.

Poll County, Oregon. July24-28-31. It is an incontrovertable fact that no business enterprise can be run suc cessfully without money. This is as true of the newspaper business as of other lines, and from this view point we earnestly urge all who know themselves to be in arrears in their subscriptions to The Observer and who can possibly do so, to pay up at once. Since the present owner assumed control many delinquents have liqui dated their subscription indebtedness, but there are others, and a consider able number of them, who have not "come across." With the newspaper we aie now producing semi-weekly, if every subscriber paid up promptly, the money received from this source would be inadequate to meet the ex penses of its publication. Therefore every dollar in arrears in this depart ment means that a dollar must be taken from some other place to make up the deficit. If you appreciate our efforts at newspaper making, please let us have a substantial expression j of that appreciation.
