"I dunno," replied the farmer, "I dunno. I got nothing for something in the mining deal last week and I can't see but what it worked the other way' round for the other fel- low."--Boston Transcript. Charles P. Root, field secretary of the Chicago Motor club says: "Every day in Los Angeles now, a person can see sixor eight motor cars with Illinois license plates thereon and it is the habit for one driver to hail another with "Hello, Illinois." If any body were to stand for an hour on Broadway, in Los Angeles, he would not fail to see a Chicago Mo- tor club emblem on the radiator of a visiting Illinois car; they are thick even 3,000 miles from home." OBVIOUS, WATSON! Nurse: I lost sight of the child, ma'am, and-- Alarmed Mother: Good gracious, why didn't you speak to a policeman? Nurse: I was speaking to one all the time, ma'am.

EVANSTON HALF OF CANADA'S TRADE WITH WORLD GOES TO THE U. S. Ottawa, Ont.--More than half of Canada's total trade with the world is conducted with the United States, according to a government report. For the twelve months ending Aug- ust 31, Canada's total trade with the United States was valued at $1,409,- 607,318, an increase of $286,414,904 over the preceding year. Canada sold to the United States goods valued at $505,451,989, an in- crease of $74,866,548 and bought from the United States goods valued at $904,115,329, an increase of more than $211,548,356. Canada's total trade with the world was $2,553,544,703. The imports were $1,296,152,364 and exports $1,257,442 339. "The people of the United States who decry emigration of American farmers to Canada," said an econo- mist, "will find a lesson in the figures of this government report. More Americans in Canada mean greater development of Canada which means greater business and prosperity in the United States."
