POTATO COUNTY QUEEN I IMPROVED UNIFORM INTERNATIONAL
Statistician Says This Country's
Economic Position Has Never
Been Paralleled.
Did you know that the United
States now leads the world as
a manufacturing nation?
New York—The United States is
the foremost manufacturing nation
today, according to E. M. Miller, stat-
istician of the National Hank of
Commerce. ' Supporting lids statement
It Is pointed out that the International
economic position of the country has
not heretofore been paralleled in the
history of the world.
The leading place ns a producer of
raw materials would not of Itself suf-
fice to give the United States the In
ternutlonnl position which It now oc-
cupies, however. It has won that
place by reason of the fact that it Is
not only the foremost producer of raw
materials but has been for some dec-
ades the foremost manufacturing na-
tion.
“The United States took first place
In the iron and steel Industry about
1800; now its annual product Is In ex-
cess of the combined output of the
United Kingdom, Germany, France and
Belgium.” says Mr. Miller. “It be-
came the foremost consumer of raw
cotton in the closing years of the Nine-
teenth century, taking the leadership
from the United Kingdom, which had
theretofore been the largest user.
“Until the World war the United
Kingdom was definitely the lender In
the woolen and worsted industries of
the world. During the war period
American raw wool consumption and
production of fabrics expanded rap-
idly, and It is probable that there Is
not now any material difference in the
capacity of the Industries of the two
countries from the standpoint of wool
consumption. *The United States now
uses one-third of the world's cotton,
one-fourth of the commercial supply
of woid. about three-fifths of all cop-
per mined and iron ore produced, two-
thirds of the annual raw silk crop en-
tering into commerce, and from two-
thirds to four-fifths of the raw rubber
grown.
Depends Upon Domestic Demand,
“Outwardly the conditions surround-
ing the development of industry In
the United States do not appear
to differ greatly from the influ-
ences which have conditioned the de-
velopment of manufactures In Europe.
Fundamental- differences nevertheless
exist. Evidence of them Is found In
the fact that in the main American
manufacturers produce for domestic
demand, while European industries
are dependent on their export business.
“This difference In the relative Im-
portance of export trade of- the manu-
facturing industries of the United
States and of Europe has existed al-
most from the beginning of the devel-
opment of the factory system in its
present sense. In Europe modern in-
dustry was superimposed upon coun-
tries already fairly mature. Fields
had long been tilled. Coal was new
ns a source of power, but metal mines
had been exploited for hundreds of
years. In England and in many parts
of the Continent supplies of timber
were becoming insufficient for the
needs of the people.
"After the introduction of power
spinning and weaving machinery, the
use of eoal as fuel, with the conse-
quent development of numberless
mechanical devices to do tlie work
which heretofore had been done by
human hands, it was possible Jor a
time for the European countries to
depend primarily upon their own nat-
ural resources and their own markets,
lint tlds condition did not long pre-
vail. Another circumstance of con-
siderable Importance in its efToct both
on the consuming power of tlie Euro-
pean market and on methods of pro-
duction is that before the coming of
modern industry, centuries bad al-
ready stabilized social customs, strati-
fied society and fixed the habits of life
of the people.
Several Factors Involved.
“it is thus clear that the United
States inis attained to its dominant
position as a manufacturing tuition us
a result of tlie combination of four
factors:
“1. Tlie rich natural resources of
tlie cm ntry have not only furnished
(lie materials for manufacture, but
their development has resulted in nn
average purchasing power in excess of
that of any other country excepting
those British dominions similarly
I placed.
“2. I -tbor lias been so fully employed
In tlie development of miturnl re-
sources that it has been necessary to
attain to a maximum economy in Its
use.
"3. Tlie combination of these two
factors lias stimulated invention and
tins ini#e possible and profitable the
development of large-scale production
by labor-saving methods.
“4. The development of these Meth-
ods In turn has Increased the purchas-
ing power of the average man by
means of high per capita production
and apital accumulation."

City Dwellers, Because of Near-

Says an Authority.
Washington.—In each small com-
munity there is the villnge fool, tlie
ne’er-do-well and the bad boy, and, as
they are accepted along with other
unpleasant conditions, it appears to
be nobody's business to look after
them, according to a speaker in a re-
cent address to a state conference of
clKld-welfare workers under the direc-
tion of the children's bureau of tlie
Department of Labor. He stated that
tlie city Is the more sensitive organ-
ism, and explained this by saying that
people living close together looked
after evils that threatened the peace
nnd safety of all. So he advised those
to whom he talked to tell the country
towns, no matter how familiar mahy
of the residents are with bad influ-
ences, that it was their duty to make
every effort to eradicate the cause of
misfortunes and bodily and mental ills
In the young to the end that all might
be benefited.
In commenting on the speech the
bureau stated that It had found that
tlie speaker had spoken the truth and
that In many rural communities the
people thought they had done their full
duty to the relief of the poor when
they gave out orders for small weekly
supplies of groceries or placed tlie
helpless poor in the county poorhouse.
Constructive aid, the bureau said, was
often successful in bettering bad con-
ditions nnd in placing the mentally
and physically unfit on a plane where
they censed to be a public worry and a
public burden.
Attention wus called to tlie fact that
Montenegro Honors American Woman
Count Jovan f’lanienatz, prime minister of Montenegro and tlie official
representative of King Michael tlie First, conferring the order of a knight
grand officer of King Daniel I upon Miss Cassity E. Masoh, founder and
principal of the Castle school for girls at Tarrytown-on-Hudson. The order
wus conferred on Miss Mason for her "eminent services rendered to the cause
of education and as a mark of appreciation for her noble sympathy for the
suffering population of Montenegro." Miss Mason wus ennobled by the late
Queen Dowager Milena. This was the first time in five hundred years of that
country's history that a woman or foreigner was so honored
In a number of states county welfare
hoards have been created nnd tlielr
officers appointed, and that tlie results
have been encouraging. Mention is
made of tlie delicate treatment de-
manded In removing defects in chil-
dren because the work “Involves a
much more delicate process of adjust-
ment than tlie worst bone fracture.
The treatment of the juvenile delin-
quent Is u field which requires real
professional skill."
The state University of Minnesota,
as well as a number of other states,
the report says, has provided training
schools for rural welfare workers,
both through summer Institutes and
through regular courses of several
years. Nothing is said about the fact
that this comparatively new field opens
a way for congenial nnd steady em-
ployment to many thousands of per-
sons having nn aptitude for It, but
some allusion appears to be made to
It by tills statement by the bureau:
“Perhaps we get nn iden of what
this new career involves if we recall
for a moment the great number of
needs which are filled by modern
work for children—by the activities,
for Instance, which are carried on in
a typical large city; by health centers,
clinics and hospitals, vocational nnd
placement bureaus, iuvenile courts
and probation officers, child-study bu-
reaus In the schools ami courts, or-
ganizations aiding in enforcement of
protective laws, family aid societies
and mothers' pension boards, home-
finding bodies, training schools for
blind nnd deaf ami abnormal children.
If we compare Wt* great variety of
this work witli the limited provisions
in the country, we shall realize more
fully what a task Is faced by ttie new
county officers doing pioneer work."
How Task Should Be Handled.
in explaining how the welfare work-
er should set about his task in a rurul
community the bureau says:
“For a needy family, for example,
with tlie complications of child delin-
quency and handicap which occur so
often, lie (tlie welfare worker) secures
emergency aid from a church society
or Red Cross chapter or from county
funds. He enables tlie father to get
on his feet financially by bringing him
Into touch with an n grim It urn 1 agent,
who advises us to farming methods
and who interests tlie troublesome boy
In a corn or stock-raising club. Mean-
while lie arranges for a friendly doctor
to examine n small crippled girl who
lias never been able to attend school,
lin'd while she awaits admittance to
an orthopedic hospital l.e finds trans-
portation so that she can go to school.
He calls In the county nurse to advise
the mother'as to care and diet for he r
other children, probably undernour-
ished. If there is no public health
i nurse, be brings tlie county to see the
need for one.
“The welfure man—or 'welfare indy
It limy lie—soon becomes a well-known
figure on the country roads. But he
cannot lie everywhere at once, and in
the absence of tlie city's organized re-
sources he must largely develop rem-
edies nnd treatment for Ids cases of
dependency, delinquency nnd neglect
by arousing neighborly spirit where it
limy hnve been lacking. That spirit
is contagious from his own well-
estuhllshcd conviction tlint the whole
community benefits or suffers accord-
ing to the welfare of ItH children and
Its Individual families."
Three methods are suggested. The
first method is taken from Crannells
Pocket Lessons. Tlie general subject
is, "What Twenty Centuries Teach
the Twentieth.”
I. The Lesson of Vision.
1. Abraham, the Pioneer— Lesson 2
2. Moses, the Nation Builder—Les-
son 4.
8. Isaiah, tlie Kingdom Seer—Les-
son 9.
II. Tlie Lesson of Leadership.
1. Samuel, tlie Foundation Layer—
Lesson 8.
2. David, the SolIdltier—Lesson 7.
8. Nehemlah, the Itebulider— Les-
son 11.
III. The Lessoh of Courage.
1. Elijah, the Reformer—Lesson 8.
2. Jeremiah, tlie Truth Teller—Les-
son 10.
3. Esther, the Intercessor —Les-
son 12.
IV. The Lesson of Character.
1. Ruth, the Woman Who Clave-
Lesson S.
2. Joseph, the Son Who Remem-
bered--Lesson 3.
V. Tlie Lesson of Life.
Jesus, the Summit of the Old Testa-
ment, Foundation of the New, Life of
Both—Lesson 1.
The second method — Character
Study. The different characters can
be assigned the week before, upon
whicli the pupils are to bring a brief
essay or report giving a sketch of the
particular hero.
A third method is to give a brief
summary of each lesson.
Lesson 1—The truth concerning the
risen Christ Is the answer for all our
questions and the Impulse of our testi-
mony to others.
Lesson 2—Abraham In obedience to
the call of God went out not knowing
whither he went. He so completely
trusted God that he was willing to go
all the way with Him.
Lesson 3—Though Joseph was sold
Into slavery because of the hatred of
his brethren, God exalted him to a
plnce of power In Egypt.
Lesson 4—Even though Pharaoh’s
decree was for the destruction of all
the male children of the Hebrews,
Moses was preserved and educated
in the Egyptian court.
Lesson 5—When Ituth became ac-
quainted with the true God, she chose
to turn her back upon her native land
nnd kindred and Identify herself with
God's people.
Lesson 6—Samuel wns given In an-
swer to his moJlier's prayer. In early
boyhood his mother gave him hack to
tlie Lord.
Lesson 7—When Samuel went to
anoint a new king over Israel, he had
all the sons of Jesse pass before him.
Although to human eyes the eldest
seemed fitted to be a king, and al-
though outer nppearances were favor-
able, the inner reality as seen by God
was against him.
Lesson 8—Elijah threw down to the
people a ringing challenge, calling
upon the people to decide between
Baal and the Lord. Tlie God who an-
swered by fire was to be the true God.
Lesson 9—Upon the sight of the
Lord, Isaiah was convicted of his sin.
When cleansed by fire from the divine
altar lie heard and responded to the
rail of God.
Lesson 10—Jeremiah, for ids faith-
fulness in making known the Word of
the Lord, was most bitterly hated and
persecuted. Though he wns regarded
as a traitor and put into tlie place of
death, he remained faithful to God.
Lesson 11—When Nehemlah heard
of the distress of his brethren In
Jerusalem, he was moved with pity
for them. Although lie enjoyed pros-
perity. lie grieved over tlie grave dis-
tress of his people.
Lesson 12—In the provhlenra of
God. Esther came to he queen of Per-
sia at an opportune time to save her
people There is a definite place aud
purpose in every life.

Hare you ever stopped to reason why
it ia that no many products that are ex-
tensively advertised, all at once drop out
of sight and are soon forgotten? The
reason is plain—the article did not fulfill
the promises of the manufacturer. This
applies more particularly to a medicine.
A medicinal preparation that has real
curative value almost sells itself, as like
an endless chain system the remedy is
recommended by those who have been
benefited to those who are in need of it.
A prominent druggist says, “Take for
example Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-Root, a
preparation I have sold for many years
and never hesitate to recommend, for in
almost every case it shows excellent re-
sults, as many of my customers testify.
No other kidney remedy has so large a
sale."
According to sworn statements nnd
verified testimony of thousands who have
used the preparation, the success of Dr.
Kilmer’s Swamp-Root is due to the fact,
so many people claim, that it fulfills al-
most every wish in overcoming kidney,
liver and bladder ailments, corrects uri-
nary troubles and neutralizes the uric acid
which causes rheumatism.
You may receive a sample bottle of
Swamp-Root by parcel post. Address Dr.
Kilmer A Co., Binghamton, N. Y., and
enclose ten cents; also mention this paper.
