Pione Main 81. . OUR SALES OF MUNITIONS There is no w ilder hallucination than that the enor nous increase in our export trade is largely in arms and munitions sold to belligerents -.nnA - It has been with food and clothing, raw material and finished products that we have come to build an export, trade and score an international balance in our lavor We have sold the belligerents aeroplanes and auto-1 trucks, motor-cycles and barbed wire, cartridges and gun-1 ,,ovder, firearms and explosives, in the six months irom September to February, inclusive to the value of less than $15,000,000. Horses, horse-shoes, rubber and wool manufactures have run our sales of a 1 passible war materials, in the six months, up to a total ot $92,400,000.1 Hut see what we have done in sales of other things! In March alone we sold abroad nearly $00,000,000 of lireadstufls and more than $28,000,000 of meat and dairy products. This is an increase of $31,000,000 in exports of breadstud's over those of March last year, and an m-j crease of $18,000,000 in meat and daily products. ! In the nine months of the fiscal year from July 1 to March ::i we sold abroad $118,000,000 of breadstuff,, more than $1:12,000,000 of meat and dairy products more, than $297,000,000 of cotton. - I Of breadstuff s, meat and dairy products, cattle and logs, cotton, cottonseed oil and mineral oils we sold abroad in the nine months $9511025,000. ni,AAA j In contrast to these stupendous figures, the $92,000, 000 sales of munitions look small indeed. Long after the war has closed the American people will be helping, as they are now, to feed and clothe the nations which have summoned back their armies to re sume the creation of hie and wealth alter their destruc tion of them. DOES WAR SPELL PROSPERITY? A Portland paper calls attention to the fact that the bankers of that city have noted the fact that for the eight months ending April 1, the exports of com modities classed as merchandise from the United States, covering the war period, were $57,000,000 greater thari for the same period of a year ago. In the same period the imports were $205,000,000 less than in the correspond ing months of last year. The excess of exports over im ports was $725,000,000 against $463,000,000 in the same; eight months of last year. Bankers do not feel any un easiness because of the lately developed fact that the deficit in the United States treasury as shown by the loss of revenues and the increasing government expenditures, has grown from nothing the first of August, 1914, to $100,0:i:;,:G April 24, 1915. j William C. Levere, traveling secretary of the Signia Alpha Epsilon, a college fraternity, recently visited Ore gon on official business. Naturally he fell in love with! the Willamette Valley and writes a long letter, describing its beauties and wonders, to the Evanston (111.) News- Index, in which he said among other things: "Salem, thei capital oi uregon, is in the Willamette valley, and like all these valley towns, it is as spotless as a bride. Last evening I had dinner with Governor Withycombe, and if I should repeat all the wonderful things he has to tell about this valley, for he is a valley man himself, I would have to write a book." llulsey Enterprise: While deepening! the artesian well at the ifnwleiuli Uit plane a few iln.VH ujjn Contractor J. W. Wells, the well driller, ran his drill into a lo) of wood at the SM-foot level That the dri was boring ri(iht through: the loj; was evident from the fact that new shavings were brought up on the drill. Other small pieces brought to the surface were of a dark color. Mr. Wells sa.vs he has found wood before at the 45-foot level, but cannot account fur a log at this great depth. j GREENBAIfM --in Woodburu Independent: The cities of Oregon are getting busy, doing needed work and giving men employ ment who prefer work to charity, Portland will have SO miles more of hard-surface roads, at Oregon City there will be $300,0011 expenditure on the locks, and other cities are doing or preparing to do something, and probably Woodlmrn will decide to have that new higli school building con structed this summer. An Oregon university professor has just issued a bulletin in which he proves to his own satisfaction that the world is not drying up. The brewers and distillers, however, do not share in his optimism. If the Germans really feared a .food shortage they would probably turn a few million Russian prisoners loose to hustle their own grub. The baseball war may end because of a shortage of money on part of the belligerents. Most wars end for that reason. Clean-up and paint-up week is about over but there is still time to do a whole lot of good work. s sjt )je sje THE DALLES-CELILO CANAL. STOMACH SUFFERERS SHOULD AVOID PEPSIN A Portlander who left London two weeks ago is quoted by a newspaper in the former city as follows: "There is not a beggar to be found in London, or at least I met none, not even on the Embankment at mid night, where, normally, a pedestrian is approached re peatedly and asked for the price of a meal. Everyone is working and at top wages. The dockers are making from y,0 to $50 a week, the biggest wages they have ever received. They art: being paid in gold and they are at tending strictly to their jobs." Germans write back from P.erlin that the city is busy, everybody working, labor in demand and the price of living reasonable. Paris dressmakers and milliners are said to be having the biggest boom in their business in years and there are few Americans over there buying French styles either. Evidently war is a great thing for boosting business and putting old General Prosperity back on the job. All the neutral countries are going through a period of . depression with slack business, little demand for labor and prices of necessities higher than ever. If these reports from the war zone are true it ought to fr.nd to. biuiin iimvnism in this country. We are overlooking splendid business opportunities possibly by neglecting to swat Mexico, and to make prosperity doubly sure we might twist the English lion's tail a little, and give Kaiser 1 1 ill a swat or two just for good measure. Ex-President Taft says that the prosperity which M'enis to be sweeping over the country may be artificial at least he fears so. Now we wouldn't have thought that of Taft because any kind of prosperity should be welcomed in these parlous times instead of being greeted with a suspicious frown. It's a good time for the chronic knockers to sing low. - A Eugene gentleman has already formulated a com-1 prehensive platform upon which peace should be con cluded in Europe, lie fails to explain, however, how he purposes to secure the consent of the warring powers to the agreement. Former Mayor Straw of Marshfiold. whose admirers' presented him with a house, should recall the experience' of Admiral George Dewey and profit thereby. $ $ Kinineiit Htomncli siiocinlists like 1tii Ccl have proven Hint there is not one "l"'1'' the locks, case in twenty which needs pepsin or an artificial digestnnt, The trouble is not a lack of digestive juices, but too miu h m ill in the slonuieh.

Hillsboro Independent: Portland had its regular fire of mysterious origin Sunday, the big Albe'rs mill being damaged to the extent of $1 111, 000. Looks as though the only way the metropolis is to end this scries of disalrous conflagrations will be a good old-fashioned vigilance committee. "Prosperity,'' says the Kstacada Progress, "seems to be coining the way of Eastern Clackamas, for with the outlook for a big fruit crop, new road building in country aa, city and a big new store to be opened by June 1 it shows money being spent now."

Mayr, who' for twenty years has been one of the leading down-town druggists of Chi- ea go and who himself was cured by its! use. So ipiick and effective is its action1 that a single dose is usually enough to bring pronounced relief in the most stubborn cases, and many people who have tried it declare they never heard of anything to produce such reninrliable results in so short a time. It is known lis Mayr's Wonderful Uemedy and can now be hl at all loading drug stoves. It is sold with the positive understand ing that your money will be refunded without iiiestion or quibble if ONE bottle fails to give you ubolute satisfaction, tected by the luws of the country he would help an alien army to fight and if possible subdue. I should say he thus being alien in sentiment should vacate at once and quit playing at the pretense of, being a loyal American. Wo don 't need him here.
