He has had many fights with Wil- liam Randolph Hearst, the publisher, and had a few tilts with the late Wil- liam Jennings Bryan. His lase im- portant fight with Hearst, when he stubbornly declined to run on a ticket with the publisher, marked the de- cline of the latter's influence with the statd democratic party. Smith's own attitude regarding fighting is shown in his speeches. In the 1926 gubernatorial campaign, when he defeated Ogden L. Mills, lacer under-secretary of :the Treas- ury, the Republicans asserted that Mr. Mills would "get along with the legislature like a cooing dove." The governor said in reply: "NO COOING DOVE" "It is known to everybody in the state of New York from Montauk Point to Niagara Falls that I am no cooing dove and what is more I never will be. Everythnig I ever got in this world I had to fight for, I did not have it handed to me on a gold plat- ter."

His most important work, as view- ed by his friends, was the re -organi- zation of the state government. Af- ter years of effort he was successful 'n abolishing more than 100 commis- sions and boards, and the vast work of the state is now done by a few departments and the governor's cab- inet.

Kyohei Kato, who represents a Tokio concern. and who has Just concluded a business mission to Canada, stated that he had bought 8.500,000 bushels of wheat in Can- ada, or about hall of Japan's total importations. He explained that Japan got more for its rice than Canadian wheat cost in their mar- ket, hence the present purchase. He said, too, that Japanese were eating more wheat foods and adapt- ing themselves to the stronger diet, "The Maritime Provinces in par- ticular, and Canada in general, need more commercial advertising," was the opinion expressed by Hon. J. B. M. Baxter, Prime Minister of New Brunswick, when interviewed on arrival on board the "Empress of Scotland" after a month's visit to Europe.' British settlers in the Maritimes have been quite satis- factory as regards type and quality, he said, and he hoped that we will be able to obtain a great many more spread over a period of years.

Showing Canada Her Opportuety in World Trade Another Striping Advertisement by The Trade and Commerce Depart. ment, Ottawa. The various striking advertise- ments of the Trade and Commerce Department at Ottawa which have appeared in Canadian newspapers from time to time are citiculakecl co create an "export trade conscious- ness" throughout the Dominion. It was decided last year by the Honourable James Malcolm, Minister of the Department in que:ation ,tivtt Canadians should become more in- timately acquainted with business op- portunities outside their owls country. In order to accomplish this, the cam- paign of publicity was embarked up - Seaweed Nota Weed. If "weed" is to continue as the name for a plant for which no use has been discovered, then seaweed will have to change its name. After prolonged research, a pro- cess has been found in which seaweed is utilized in the production of algin and alginates. Algin Is a substance similar to starch and gum arable in its properties, ant in malty respects superior to either. With a viscosity fourteen times that of starch and thirty-seven limes that of gum arable, it is of greater advantage than starch to sizing and finishing fabrics, for it fills the cloth better, is tougher and more elat,lc, transparent when dry, and is not act- ed upon by acids. Algin will un- doubtedly be used in dyeing and color printing and in the sizing and coating of paper. Seaweed, too, has for some time been known as a source of iodine. on. Canada's external trade has grown in such proportions as probably few Canadians realize. For instance, in the last fiscal year, ended March 31st the Dominion's total exports were valued at more than n billion and n quarter dollars. or to the exact 81,- 250,456,297. This represents an ex- port trade of mare than 9 130 for every man, woman and child in Ca't- ada. At the beginning of the present century Canada's export trade a- mounted to less than 200 million dol- lars. Another method of gauging Can- ada's expottc trade is found in the fact that last year the country's trade is found in the fact that last year the country's exports of manu- factured products alone amounted to about the same as her total product- ion of manufactured products in 1900. In other words, Canada is cx• porting as much in maufactured ar- ticles today as the total output of every factory in the Dominion twenty eight years ago. These few figures may give readers some comprehen- sion of the immense increase in ex-' port business. Most public men and business mer, no matter what their politics may he, agree that export trade is possibly the most valuable asset the Dominion can have. Canada's natural resources are so varied and so rich that it would be impossible for Canadians to consume them. Take wheat for example; it is manifestly impossible for 9,000,000 people to consume 400,000,000 bush- els of wheat annually. Canada's future prosperity therefore is bound up in seeking markets abroad for her surplus production. When Canadian business men seek- to eekto sell their products in other lands, they cannot hope to control prices. They have to meet competition from thousands of other business men and producers living in other countries. They are faced with fierce world con petition in maintaining their hold on export business. To maintain this trade of a billion and a quarter dol- lars a year and to increase it, Can- adians must become acquainted with every legitimate method known to business. They must learn how to pack their goods in the manner de- sired by the foreign buyer, they must- learn ustlearn how to keep foreign dates, how to ship these goods by the most economical and direct routes. And perhaps most important of all Cana- dian goods must always be kept up. to the standard of the sample sub- mitted. The Department of Trade and Commerce, at Ottawa, is doing every- thing in its power t ofurther this ex- port trade. Years ago a Commercial bntelligence Service was established, and 'trained trade conumisisoners sent to the world's trade centres. In fact, Canada had the 'first trade commis- sioners abroad, thus inaugnt'ating a system which has been widely copied. Today this country has 24 trained 'trade commissioners in staatcgic bus- iness centres. More men are now in training to go to other places. The government has by subsidy, and other means, obtained 'first-class shipping facilities to these business centres. The trade commissioners are con- stantly 011 the alert seeking out op- portunities for the selling of Cana- dian products. Whenever they k'arn that there is a chance of a Cana- dian order being placed, they bn- mediately communicate with the Commercial Intelligence Service at Ottawa, giving all informtation they Seedless Persimmon, The native American persimmon, which has long been an object of much local appreciation but has never been widely cultivated, is booked for a course of improvement which may put it into the class of highly desir- able orchard fruits, says a Science Service bulletin. According to a communication in the Journal of Heredity, a et u•ch is being made for promising trees that bear seedless fruits. Such specimens are known to occur occasionally In nature. Robert T. Morris, of Stam- ford, Conn„ is undertaking to pro- pagate seedless persimmons found in the northern part of the range of the species, and Dr. J. E. Cannaday of Charleston, West Virginia, will culti- vate trees found in the south. The two men invite anyone who knows of a seedless persimmon tree to cor- respond with them. • IT IS not long ago that the original Ymanuscript of "Alice in Wonder- land" was sold for $77,000. Now it is reputed to have been resold for more than $150,000. Fancy prices, these, for a few sheets of paper, But this is the day of high prices for ori- ginal manuscripts. Probably the profits front this source will not con- tinue for long. A hundred years from now, the originals of our mod- ern books are little likely to sell for such fancy sums. The blame can be laid on this machine age. Buying a manuscript written in the hand of n long-ticad author has a touch of ro- mance to it. Moat of that romance departs when the manuscript in ques- tion is the product of a typewriter. Today's writers lack the patience to wield a peen. --r,.
