Even the registry of the machino Was noi vbtaineu. The Inst /car had gone to Norwich when the girla reportea the conditions to Petralman Bhelby Nichoias, who es- corted them to. the mission.

Policeman Donald Ferguson recent- Iy arrested a fellow who gave his name as Snow, who stole a horse and carriage from under a shed at King- ston, the property of John R.

Lewls in the Second District court, pleaded gullty to the larceny of a horse and was ‘sentenced to six months in the rrovidesce Lcunty jab and to pay all costs. The arresting of- ficer was not summoned ag & witness to the hearing. In this connection, Chapter 345, Section 71, General Laws of Rhode Islaid, ought to interest Neeman Ferguson. It reads thusly “Bvery person who shall steal or attempt to seal any horse or other domestic animal shall be fined not less than one hundred dollars, nor more than five hundred dollars, one-half of said five to inure to the use of, the complainang, and, at the discretion of the court, be imprisoned for not Jess than one mor more than five yeare.” Akin to the foregoing 1s Section 65 of the same chapter, which reads: *Every person who shall wilfully, mis- chievously and without right, take or use any boat, carriage, wagon or vehicle of any kind, or take, drive, ride or use any horse or ov, or milk any cow, the property of -another, without the _consent of the owner, or the person having the lawful care or custody of the same, shall be fined not exceeding five hundred Vollars or be imprisoned not exceeding three years” Phebe Greene ~ Ward _ chapter, Daughters of the American Revolution held its first meeting under the new- Jy elected administration in the Mem- orlal building, Thursday _afternoon.

CHILE'S PURCHASES AND WHERE IT MAKES THEM Much ls Required from Other Coun- tries and Constantly Growing. 146,000 worth of coal alone, Australia sold nearly $3,000,000 worth, and the United States but $900,000. Under ma- chinery (which Included railway cars, automoblles, hardware, etc.) Germany sold mearly $5,500,000 . worth, . the United Kingdom over $4,540,000 and the United States $3,334,000. From all of which it may be inferred that it is time for the manufacturers of the United States to get in the game in earnest The longest way round is mot the shortest way home when it comes to transporting merchandise. To get there quickest with the best goods, other things being equal, means com- mercial success, and that's what the Panama canal will enable the manu- facturing and other commercial inter- ests of the United States to do along the 5000 miles of Pacific coast line of South America. Of that coast line nearly 3,000 miles are taken up by the Republic of Chile. Wherefore Chile is in the commercial limelight juct | now, and bids falr to remain there for ' a good many years to come, for her importance in the business world i steadily increasing and her prospects are remarkably bright Complete detalls of Chile’s forelgn trade for 1913 are not yet available but from some advance figures just received by the Pan American Unio . Washington, D. C., some Interestirg facts may be gleaned which should claim the attention of those interests in the United States seeking to enter the Latin American fleld. In the first place, Chile’s forelgn . trade in 1913 exeeeded all previous records notwith- standing a general and almost world- wide financial depression. The total amounted to $265,000,000, of which the imports were valued at $120,000,000 and the exports at nearly $145,000.000. In this connection it Is interesting to note that the United States has made very perceptible gains on her two chief rivals, the United Kingdom and Germany, in the total Chilean trade since 1909. Of Chilean imports in 1913 the United States supplied nearly 17 per cent. against only 10 per cent. in 1909; the United Kingdom 30 per cent. against 33 per cent in 1909: and Germany just held her own with' 24 per cemt. The United States gained 7 per cent. in 5 years without the Panama canal. How much should the gain be during the next 5 years with the canal open for business? ‘Now what does Chile buy? Accord- ing to values the five leading classi- fications, for 1913 were: Textiles (in- cluding cotton. wool, other fibres, and silk) over $2§,000,000 worth: mineral products (including iron and *steel manufactures, earths and sfones, pre- cious metals and jewel 22, coal, ofls, etc., nearly $20,000,000; ma- chinery, ' $15,000,000; vegetable pro- ducts (including food products, fruits and grairs, woods and manufactures. etc.) nearly $14,000,000: and animai products, nearly $8,000,000. Under the above classification, in the line of textiles the United States made a very poor showing. The United Kingdom sold the Chileans over $11,- 762000 worth: Germany, nearly $6, 232,000: France, $2,500,000; Belgium, over $1,000,000, and the United States only $811,000 worth. With the Buro- pean war engrossing the attention of the four countries enumerated, .and with the Panama canal doing busi- ness, surely the manufacturers of cot- ton and wool textiles in the United Stata =" mer hmew and make a bet- ter showing henceforth. nue: :aneral products are found Two Slices of Denmark.

Secretary of the Nacy Daniels, wio has taken many steps since he has been in the cabinet to popularize the United States navy, is confronted at present with the task of further in- creasing the personnel of his depart- ment. Many of the American battle- ships are not equipped with full crews such manufactures of steel and iron|and a few of the ships have hardly as wire, granite cooking utensils, pipes, | enough men to man them.
