I U | NORWAY TRADE SHOWS INCREASE Abundant Signs of Good Re lationship With United States Christiania, Nov. 4. There are abundant signs everywhere of the development of broader commercial relationships of every kind between Norway, and the United States, ac cording to Marion Letcher, American consul general. In a statement con cerning the Norwegian-American Exhibition here, Mr. Letcher said: "Previous to 1914 our trade with Norway was exceedingly light, but now, notwitstanding the long und extensive haul,' American commodi ties are almost as common in Chris tiania as in New York. A number of Norway's enterprising young men have gone to my country during the last several months to study these conditions at first hand and to form connections there. "This exhibition, which Is con-! fined practically to goods to be dis- j played by Norwegian representatives : of American firms, will emphusize | the value of doing business through i direct Norwegian representation j rather than through distributing j agencies located in other countries, ; and I am sincerely hopeful that American business men will not fall ! to see the force of this lesson. "Up to the present the trade that i has sprung up between the two coun- j tries has been largely fortuitous. American business men will be wise to understand this and prepare for more permanent relationship through fixed local representatives." CHARLES R. BAKER DIES Marietta, Pa., Nov. 4.—Charles R.
