The figures shown for the fonnerlj

provisionally allocated to those coun

cupied, after the United Kingdom, the

of shipping, now only owns 41P.IW

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.

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

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. Publisher's Auxiliary.

The "Sink of Gold."
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. The favorable trade balances
of Asia, at present gold prices, will If
