Liberty Loan Drive This section which is composed of Berlin, Kensington and East Berlin is ready to go over the top in the “Fight- ing Fourth Liberty Loan’. Several meetings of the committee in charge of the affair have been held in the past few weeks and all preparation for the drive which starts tomorrow is ready. Although no official have been received by Mrs. C, M. Jarvis and Francis Deming, who are at the head of the drive it is thought that the quota will be somewhere in the neighborhood of $5,000 as the last quota was $3,600. The drive starts tomorrow and all the townspeople are expected to ‘co-operate and exceed the quota as was done in the last loan. Plan now to be at the Kensington M. E. church Mon. eve., Sept. 30.— advt. _ BERLIN NEWS NFLUENZA APPEARS INKENSINGTON HOME bse: Reported to Dr. Griswold| ind Has Been Quarantined BERTY LOAN CAMPAIGN l'lin Will Be Expected to Raise [About $5,000—Tomorrow Last Day lfor ~ Making Citizens—Evangelistic Fervice. ensington has heen free of the fidemic of Spanish influenza that is reading throughout the state and intry, although several of the ‘r Pnts have been confined to their ds With very severe colds, until to- a case of the epidemic disease s reported to Dr. R.

These and other remarkable facts are brought out in an analysis of the | latest Department of Commerce fig- ures made by John Barrett Director General of the Pan American Union, | glven out today (Saturday, Sept. 21). | In a review emphasizing the present | importance of Pan Ameri merce but cautioning against over- confidence, Director General Barrett further points out the following in- teresting and surprising figures as confirming the conclusion just stated United States exports to Latin Amer- ica grew from approximately $280,- 000,000 in 1913-1914 to $720,000,000 in 1917-1918, or 257 per cent.; Unit- ed States imports from Latin America increased from $470,000,000 to $1,- 030,000,000, or 214 per cent.; grand total of exports and advanced from $750,000,000 50,000,000, or 235 per cent, The reports for individual tries aré equally impressive. United States trade with Chile in the same period jumped from $43,000,000 to $205,000,000, or 375 per cent.; Argen- from $90,000,000 to $305,000,- 000, or 240 per cent.; Cuba, from $200,000,000 to $500,000,000, or 150 per cent.; Mexico, from $132,000,000 to $248,000,000, or 90 per cent.; Bra- n com- imports to $1,- coun- 211, from $130,000,000 to $190,000,000, | | pany I. or 46 per cent. These figures emphasize the importance and possibilities of Pan American commerce, but they must not encourage false hopes as to Unit- ed States trade of the future. This exceptional growth is due largely to, first, the supplanting by the United States of the trade of the Central Al- lies; second, the caring by the United vast of Great Britain, France, Belgium, Italy, and of Holland and other neu- trals, for which they themselves, un- der war conditions, could not possi- bly provide; third, the heavy war de mands of the United States and the Allles expressed through the United States for the raw products of Latin America, and the war demands of the latter for such manpfactured pro- the United States as were formerly obtained from Europe in considerable quantitie NAPOLEON'S HOUSE NOW PIE KITCHEN U.
