The figures shown for the fonnerlj belligerent countries include a con siderable amount of enemy tonnage provisionally allocated to those coun tries. Germany, which in 1014 oc cupied, after the United Kingdom, the Brst posillon with over 5,000.0il tons of shipping, now only owns 41P.IW tons. The steam tonnage owned by the principal maritime countries In June. 1820. totalled 53.905.000, an Increase of 8.KM.000 tons as compared with June, 1914; hut It is computed that the world's net loss in shipping through the war. taking Into account the suspension In normal shipbuilding activities, amounts to 3.516.000 tons. There Is a reduction lu sailing ton nage since pre-war days of 614.000 tons, a much smaller decrease than in any previous six year period and doubtless accounted for. says the Reg ister, by the shortage of other tonnage having given new life to the construc tion of sailing vessels. The United States, tie only country which has In creased sailing tonnage since 1914, now owns over 43 per cent of the world's sailing tonnage.

Helen Uilkje Calamity Gained In Miik Production When Switched From Grain Ration. When Helen UUVJe Calamity U"57 was switched from a graft to a purely roughage ration. It was thought that she might object to this change of diet and drop off In milk production, but she didn't In fact, this cow actu ally increased her flow of milk and surpassed any of her previous years' production records by more than 2,400 pounds of milk, Helen, who comes of a tooi old fam ily, and Is a granddaughter of Home- stead Girl Pe Kol Sarcastic Lad, was I sent bv the dairy division or me v. im- ed States department of agriculture from Beltsvllle, Md., to Huntley, Mont, In May. 191S. When she freshened on .tnne 21 it was decided to run her on a semiofficial yearly test without any grain In her ration. Her ration consisted entirely of al falfa hay, silage, and pasture, and she was milked three times a day. The al falfa hay was of fine quality, and most of the silage was corn silage, although she received a little sunflower silage In December, January and February. The pasture was an Irrigated tame grass mixture and was of good qual ity. t four vears of aie Helen had pro duced at Beltsvllle 11,476.6 pounds of milk, 3S2.05 pounds of nuuercat, oo two dailv milking, and a gram, nay and silage ration.

PERFORMANCE COUNTS If You Are Going to Buy a Motor Truck Use Judgment The present period is the most necessary of all times requiring thorough investiga tion of the make and quality of a motor truck that is worthy of receiving any con sideration by the prospective purchaser. This is the time for careful buying and the elimination of all risks. Orphan trucks are scattered about the country. If you have one you know how you feel about it. Your truck is an outcast; it has no resale value; you are left holding the bag, because of an error in selection. Repeatedly we have directed attention to the fact that there ar only a very few high-grade trucks on the market backed by financially cound factories and responsible financially sound factories and responsible dealers. MACK trucks are among the ex ilonlors. MACK trucks are among the ex clusive few. We urge the most rigid inves tigation into the manufacturing, sales and financial policies governing MACK trucks. We know we can satisfy you as to these and MACK performance is never ques tioned. V2 to iy2 ton models. Cohn Auto Co. The Country Printer and Publisher and His Revenue IN T1IKSK TLMKS OF IIKCOXSTIU'CTIOX AND READJUST MENT it ill becomes the atlvertiser mul buyer of printing to object to the reasonable advances in prices which country pub lishers anil printers are establishing for the continuation of their business. The country printer ami publisher with few exceptions, has never enjoyed the remuneration demanded by his banker, grocer, cloth ier, lumber dealer, carpenter, bricklayer, plumber, painter, and repre sentatives of various other mercantile lines and trades. It may have ' been his own fault, lie may have been too "fair" with his patrons and not fair enough with himself. Be that as it may, within the last several months he has been given stem object lessons in business economics, and as a class has become convinced that lie is entitled to a compensation for his capital employed, labor and money expended and intelligence and ability required, on a par with other businesses comparable to his. And he is right. Even though there is'a general falling market, prices will for sev eral years remain at a higher level than before the war. The printer anil publisher will have to pay more for the things he has to buy for himself, his fanily and his business, and it is therefore right for him to ask and receive better prices for what he has to sell, and lay a new foundation that will hold up his business structure under the new conditions which will assail it. Those publishers who have not already done so should lose no time to protect themselves in this matter. And those printers and publishers who have been able to establish a price level fair to themselves and their customers should be deaf to importunities for a reduction. It is to the shame of hundreds of communities all over the country that the local papers and printing plants have been closed for lack of patronage sufficient forjhe proprietor to continue them and maintain his self-respect" as a citizen and a business man.

As an old correspondent of yours on this dull problem of exchange permit me to put In a word with reference to your editorial article on "Kluid Gold's World Flow." You think that "by the triangular readjustment of Interna tional banking the gold which we sent to the Orient (India and Chlrih) may find Its way to London." This view, a most dangerous misconception, has al ready proved the parent of Infinite dis aster. Since in 1 and in defiance of every warning, Knglaiid changed the standard of value In India from silver to gold, we have pitched 250, 000,1X10 gold sovereigns Into the small hoards of India, never to return, IrreT ocuhiy lost to western trade and the exchange. That drain, India being now the "sink of gold " has destroyed England's "gold standard," as for a quarter of a century In your columns I have foretold. It will next destroy yours.
