Ever sinde Wm. Penn traded the Indians a handful of trinkets for what is now the state of Pennsylvania, the American people have been selling their birthright to foreigners for a mess of pottage, so to speak. We export over $50,000,000. of cattle and their products per annum, which feeds the nations of Europe, and our American heiresses spend a similar sum in buying and maintaining “connts, dukes and titled peerages. These foreign noblemen aré, as & . rule, absolutely worthless—in fact become a perpetual liability—for it costs more money to operate ‘and keep them in repair that it does to Yun our cotton mills, European royalty puts the black sheep of its families on the block and our rich American girls buy them and we virtually exchange railroads, wheat fields and millions of dollars’ worth of products of farm, mine and fac- tory for titled paupers who could not be resold for any sum. It does not require foreign treaties, a fleet of war vessels or tariff revision to stop this enormous loss. It needs only common sense in the homes of the rich. We export $18,000,000 of lumber and timber, and American tourists spend a similar amount in motoring over Europe and sightsee- ing in foreign lands although the most enchanting scenes of the world are on the American continent. Gur South -American Opportunity. In the present blockade of com- merce and pavalysis of trade we should not overlook the fact that whatever may be the conditions across the Atlantic, the big, rich na- tions of South America want to buy and sell with us just as badly as we want to sell and buy with them. And they are even more upset by the lack of ships than we are, in ‘proportion they are more dependent on foreign markets Our have relied chiefly on Germany and England for manufactured goods and many other commodities, and with those nations at war the. States is the natural market for a volume of purchasing power which alone would lift us from. partial activity. The trade of Argentina, ! Brazil and Chili is far more valuable . than all the gold the Spanish con- querors carried home from the New ‘World, and vastly greater than the ' commerce of China for which the nations are perpetually quarrelling. It is our opportunity now to 'capture this trade, which rightfully belongs | to us by virtue of our primacy in this hemisphere. The Panama Canal; is ready for navigation. All ol South' America lies open to us, with the Far East for good measure. The great desideratum -is ships. We must get -them, and get them at once; without partisan policies or petty| fears of investment in new and un- tried lines. This is a rare opnor- tunity for American statesmanship and American capital to pertorm a’ signal service for American mdustry without any stigma of “dollar. di-| plomacy.” It is a case where busi- ness enterprise becomes a patriotic' national service. . The Minnesota Potato Crop. The Minnesota Irish potato 'patch contains 278 acres this year and the total production will be approxi- mately 28,612,000 bushels, ing to estimates made today by the United States crop reporting board. The condition of the crop is 83 per cent of nmormal and the price at the present time is averaging around 65 cents per bushel. Minnesota ranks fourth with other states in the pro- duction. of Irish potatoes.

At least it does not compare favorably with the oth- er leading crops—corn, hay. to- baceo. cotton and ‘alfalfa—if' we accept the cost investigations of the United States department of agriculture at their face value. Winter wheat continues to hold its own on the general farms of the eastern, central and north- western states because of its pe- culiar fitness in the rotation and the fact that it can be grown without competing with * other crops for the farmer’s labor. There is little question that at least half the total wheat crop of the country is produced with a very narrow margin of profit, and winter wheat may be re- garded as a by product of the farm rotation which in itself is not profitable. at least on most central and eastern farms. No yield of less than twenty bushels an acre can be regarded as a profitable crop when it is consid- ered apart from the value of ‘the growing wheat as a means of securing a stand of grass or clover or of utilizing land during the winter.—Country Gentleman. 708,000 acres planted to this pro- duct and this year’s production is|- estimated at 360,614,000 bushels; by the Federal Department of Agricul- ture. This year’s:‘crop will exceed the average crop of the past five years by ‘approximately - 4,000,000 bushels. The nation’s” production last year was 331,525,000 . bushels, was produced on 3,668,000 acres of land and sold for $227,903,000; or an average of 90 .cents per bushel. ERKEKKH KKK KKK KKK X * .

PUBLIC CONFIDENCE < As Seen by the General Public confidence is the great- est asset that any house of business can possess. It is more to be desired than the ability tp make money. There are degrees of public confidence. It may be zero, a minus quantity, or a plus quan- tity. At zero no confidence ex- ists—nobody is for or agains such a house. ‘But this condi~ tion can exist only where the house or its goods are unknown, and as soon as the public has given the house a trial it will sm Judgment, and public con- dence will- then be "expressed by a plus or minus sign, accord- ing to. the approval or disap- proval of the public as to the foflfll and policies of the house. £ the ‘goods are not as repre- sented, or if the policies are not in accordance with the ethics of good business, public confidénce wm drop to a minus quantity and the people will transact business with 1ts competitors ‘whose business ideals are on a higher and more satisfactory lane, If the goods are satis- actory, and if the policies of _the house are rlght. tha people ‘will “continue “to "do business. with' that house nnd will help _to build it up. ‘The plus sign ©f public con- fidence is always attached to the name of a house of business that considers service to its customers, absolute integrity with reference to its foods. and ‘high ideals in its business poli- cles, as being of greater conse- quence than the mere earning of dividends. A well sa.tlslled -community of customers is the key to the success of any house of business, and, having estab- fished this, dividends will be sure to follow.
