rm: tkade balance
hi the week ending May S the
L a lam e of trade in favor of the
l imed States was about $20,555,
rue week before the surplus
-■f exports over the imports was
J2o.o2J,000. The balance ou the
side is averaging almost
'.t'tM'.iH'O a month. It has been
.her than that so far this year.
Kurope needs its gold but it is
.ible to hold it iu the face of such
rehases of American merchandise
.:o these figures show. This coun
try is steadily increasing its stock
of the t-asic money metal of the
world. The iuteruatioual financial
•,'osition of New York and of the
I'aited States becomes constantly
stronger.
1: is iiuite possible that after the
restoration of peace European bor
rowing iu New York for the recon
struction of industries aud cities
wrecked by war will exceed the war
lc; ::s which are being offered to
American investors. This country
is movu.g nearer every day Ito the
I'osiiiou of a creditor nation. Its
I'bligutioas to foreigners are de
creasing. It is rapidly expanding
its inttrests outsida of its own
buuiuUrries.
The business differences between
Kurbpe and America today are a
vast object lesson ou the waste of
war and the thrift of peace.
■IOHX Bl'.VXY'S SALAltV
Hundreds of thousands loved
John Minny. His jolly, home
ly, wl-.olesom? personality reached
out from the "movies" screen and
friendshio of everybody
befoii, ' -id everybody wanted
:u know all «.*.>ut him, just as
everybody wants to know all about
all his friends.
So tii" world was regaled with
stories about John Bunny. Among
t! e most interesting were those
that i" kited to his princely salary.
It w:is declared that at the time of
his death he was receiving $75,000
a year, which is .is much as the
president of the United States is
paid. It was said that previously
liis salary was $50,000.
(Jut bis widow recently filed his
will (or probate. His estate has
:i appraised and has been found j
lo total otilv, $!>,000 in value.
J<> .n Bunny did not have a large
iamilt". According to all accounts
e ili-i Lot live extravagantly. Cer
tainly he could not have lived a
life of wild dissipation and carried
out his contract with the motion
picture producers. It seems plain
that he soberly and sensibly appre
ciated the change in fortune which,
after much effort ou his part, raised
him from an obscure and poorly
paid actor to one of the most popu
lar anil well-paid of the film stars.
So it may be well, when wonder,
eu.vy ai.d discontent are aroused by
stories of fabulous salaries alleged
to be paid to the jieople of the
st;'-ge and the baseball diamond, to
remember what the appraisal of
John Bunny's estate showed and
t3 tr ii mind the fact that the
drama and baseball are conducted
ou the same principles that a dry
i'oods store is.
European War Will Be
Followed by a Great
Spiritual Revival
By ALFRED NOYES. English
Author
1T1IIXK that the war is causing a
great spiritual awakening which
will have a powerful and bene
ficial effect on all forms of creative
art. I do not believe that we 6hall
ever go back in literature to just the
state that we
were in before
this war came.
The war will be
followed by a
genuine literary
and artistic re
nascence.
Our advance
in spiritual
things may be
compared to the
spreading of cir
clcs when a
stone is dropped Photo by American

into the water.
During the alfred notes.
years before this war we were so in
terested in watching the circles that
we forgot about the stone that caus
ed them. We thought of the "move
ments," not of the ''center."
AFTER THE WAR THE CIRCLES
WILL GO ON WIDENING, BUT WE
WILL REMEMBER THE STONE
THAT CAUSES THEM. OUR LIT
ERATURE WILL BE ROOTED (AS
THE LITERATURE OF THE VIC
TORIANS WAS ROOTED) IN ACEN
TRAL VERITY.

Comforting Words
Many an Alaskan Household Will
find Than So.
To have the pains and aches of a
bad back removed—to be entirely
free from annoying, dangerous ur
inary disorders, is to make any
kidney sufferer grateful. The fol
lowing advice of one who has suf
tered will prove comforting words
to hundreds of Alaskan readers.
P. E. Sanderson, S19 First St.,
San Diego, Cal., says: "A severe at
tack of la grippe laid me up for
five weeks My back got very pain
ful, lame and weak. My kidueys
were in bad shape. 1 felt ull
run down. 1 read about Doan's Kid
ney Pills and got a box. They
fixed me up all right. Whenever 1
have taken cold on my kidneeys
since, I have used Doan's Xidney
Pills. They have always brought
good results "
Price 50c, at all dealers. Don't
simply ask for a kidney remedy—
got Doan's Kidney Pills—the same
that Mr. Sanderson had. Poster
