Profits Tax $32,266. Columbia, May 20.—Nine retail li quor dealers in Laurens county bought 11,007 cases of alcoholic li quors for their stores during the 1948-49 fiscal year, compared with 11,875 the year before, the state tax commission says. The markup was off from $148,362 to $137,585 and the gross profits tax they paid fell from $39,022 to $32,266. The markup is the legal amount above the wholesale price they may charge; gross profits are figured on a graduated scale from $5,000 up. W. Ray Feagle at Clinton was the dealer with the biggest matkup, but his business was down considerably from 1947-49, when he was also the leader. In 1948-49 he handled 1,807 cases, with an allowed markup of $22,601, and paid $7,050 in gross profits tax. Other dealers were reported as fol lows (cases, markup and gross prof its tax paid): R. W. Hipp (Clinton), 1,189, $14,618, and $3,097; C. G. Stad- ler (Clinton), 899, $11,333, and $i,- 783; B. C. Workman (Clinton), 1,354, $16,116, and $3,808; C. E. Griffin (Laurens, licensed October 1948), 678, $7,908, and $727; Hyman Lurey (Laurens), 1,526, $19,358, and $5,429; Sam F. Reynolds (Laurens), 1,380, $17,531, and $4,515; Louis Siarris (Laurens), 920, $12,036, and $2,064; C. P. Wilson (Laurens), 1,264, $16,- 081, and $3,790. money- earned by selling elsewhere. That’s why the showing of the first revived global trade triangle has raised quiet excitement at the Com merce department. The news comes just as 3,000 Chambers of Commerce around the country are preparing through World Trade Week (May 21-27), to remind both businessmen and workers that their jobs and money are partly se cured by foreign sales of magnetoes, medicines, yard goods, dried fruits and so on* — 4 Better Times Loom For World's Trade Washington—Draib world trade fi gures at the Commerce department hint that the \yorld may he begin ning to move back into the trade hab its it had before Hitler built his war machine. If the trend continues, the non- Communist nations of the world— from Canada through Latin Ameri ca, across to Africa’s-Cape Horn and around to South Korea—can get back pretty much to even swapping instead of depending on the loans and gifts the U. S. has been making since 1945. U. S. taxes could drop as the loans and gifts end. Latin American Trade The tip-off lies in the figures on U. S. trade with Latin America. Taking the record of what the U. S. bought and sold below the Rio Grande through 1949, there were six nations to which it sold less than it bought. They were Cuba, Bolivia, Brazil, Chili, Colombia and Uruguay. There nations earned dollars they didn’t have to use for the goods they were getting here. With some of these dollars they bought goods in Europe, as they did before the war. This put some dollars into Euro pean hands, and to that extent Eu rope was free to buy American goods on money it had earned elsewhere. To that extent Europe did not need American charity. ■Experts here call that the “old trade triangle.” Trade triangles ex isted normally all over the world be fore World War I and to some extent between the two wars. They are so important that the major drive of recent U. S' foreign economic policy has been to recreate them. Stick Together Why? They permit industrial na tions—such as the U. S.* Canada, Britain, France, Belgium, Germany and Japan—to live side by side. Such nations must buy much of their raw materials in the non-indus trial nations. Those areas are then free* to buy machines and consum ers’ goods wherever they find the right price and quality. Since 1945—in a • war wrecked world—all important trade lines have been largely straight ones—to the United States and back. This country can’t possibly buy enough from the whole non-Com- munist World to put enough dollars into its hands to buy all the indus trial goods and food it needs. Parts of the world must buy elsewhere on Vehicle Licenses In County for Nine • Months Is $60,848 .—« Special to The Chronicle.

If you like) thinner cakes, thin the batter with! more liquid. The baking time for the pancake, after turning, is half as long as ‘it' was for the first side. If you’ve been wondering why your i pancakes don’t bake a nice, even, brown, try beating the griddle slow ly for at least 15 minutes before bak- ing a cake Mak? doubly sure the j griddle is the right temperature by’ baking a test pancake. Pancakes can go to luncheon if you wrap several spears of cooked asparagus in the cakes, roll, and serve with pimiento-flecked cheese sauce. Place two cooked pork sausage links on pancake and roll Serve hot with spicy applesauce and you'll have an excellent breakfast dish.
