v,Thc department asserts that an
analysis of American foreign trade
is incomplete without taking into ac
count., both quality and value, for,
although' exports of many leading
agricultural products show a 'large
increase in quantity, declines in
value have greatly offset the possible
gain derived from increased quan
tity. McLaughlin Secures Change

fall. Troutman's mother held an arm
about her son.
"Listen, boys." spoke the gray
haired judge. "Was it the movies or
dime novels that sent you on your
downward paths?"
"Neither, judge, just circum
stances," spoke up Pritchard.
"Well, let me tell you," admonished
the magistrate, "boys that generally
start out like you did generally end
in prison for life or in the electric
chair not by their own design, but
by accident because they are in a
life of crime."
' Both youths were bound over to
district court for highway robbery
under $5,000 bond each.
