CRACKSMEN IN AUTO
Bold Robbery and Complete Escape
Effected in Central Business
District.

Pittsburg, Pa.-Cracksmen in a
speedy automobile turned the trick
again within a stones throw of po-
lice headquarters, and in one of the
most thickly populated sections.
They blew the safe in the offices Of
the Bauer Brothers bakery, one of the
biggest concerns of its kind in West
ern Pennsylvania, secured more than
$4,000 in money, and escaped.
The watchman was taken by sur.
prise, as two confederates had been
in hiding in the building all night, and
had the safe ready to blow when the
other two appeared.

SIMPLE FARM ARITHMETIC
Corn Grower Can Now Figure Out
How Much He Lost BY Not Test
ing His Seed Before
Planting.

Here are a few simple problems in
arithmetic for the corn grower to fig
ure out these hot days during the noon
hour, while he is resting in the shade
waiting for the team to eat Or per-
haps his boy might like to do them
just to keep in practice.
An acre of corn planted in hills
three and a half feet each way will
contain 1866 hills. If each hill con-
tains three stalks and each stalk bears
an ear of corn weighing three-fourths
of a pound, What will be the yield per
acre? Something over hundred
bushels, isn't it? How does this COM
pare with the yields you have been
getting, Mr.. Corn Grower?
Are there 1856 hills on each acre in
your corn fields? How many are
. there? 1t may Ce interesting and
profitable to you to take little time
an6 count the actual number of stalks
Of 9orn on one acre of your field.
From tie number of stalks counted
figure out the prospective yield and
compare it with the yield of an acre
containing perfect stand. Are you
satisfied? Wouldn't it have paid you
to have tested your seed corn tor ger
mination before planting and to have
/, been sure that every kernal planted
, would grow?
Hundred hushel corn crops are not
produced in fields with missing hiEts.
Perfect stands and persistent, shallow
cultivation spell big yields. To in
sure good stands plant only the best
seed. You may be growing corn next
year.
Something to think about.

CORN CROP SAVED BY RAIN


Chicago.-Rain, which drenched IA
states, was worth millions of dollars
to the country. Had it been a rain
of real money the farmers could not
have been more pleased. More than a
dozen states in the north and middle
west, all of the corn belt, had rain and
needed it to save the corn. Accord
ing to agriculturists, the corn will de-
velop with one final squirt. The re-
suit, they say, will be an era of pros
perity.

Toledo, Ohio.-Nine firemen were
injured by flying brick and glass when
the B. F. Stevens plant, manufacturers

TRADE IS SLOW
Lower Temperatures Help Retail Bush
ness Iron and Steel Still Lead
In Activities.

New York;. G. Dun & Co.'s Re-
view Of Trade said:
Trade conditions quiet, but condi-
tions are essentially sound. Better
weather throughout the crop area has
largely relieved the apprehension
about the staple crops and lower tem-
peratures in the large cities have help
ed general business, especially retail
liDas.
A Big order.
Progress in iron and steel argues
we'll for the future. While improve
ment is not pronounced consumers are
more disposed to cover requirements,
and mill operations are steadily broad
ening. Evidence of the increasing de-
mand is furnished by the placing of or
1ers for about 100000 tons of steel
products for early shipments.
Selling Agents Cut Prices.
Selling agents in the cotton goods
market have cut prices on goods to
stimulate the movement In all accum-
ulations of odd lots. A drastic revi-
sien in bleached cotton, following the
removal of restrictions on staple
prints, adds to the uncertainty. The
volume of curtailment is increasing.
Export trade is still favorable and
stocks are relatively light. Dress
goods and mems wear merchants are
about opening their new spring lines
and prices generally show consider
able reduction, but buyers are not
ready to proceed at the new quotations
and most of them are ordering sample
pieces only or very trifling filling-in
supplies.
Shoes and Leather.
Conservatism is displayed by whole
salers in the footwear markets, al
though the movement is expected to
increase, as buyers are quite numer-
GUS in the Boston market. Leather
is little more active. Prices are very
strong and the lack of large sales are
partly due to the disinclination of tan
ners to sell much ahead of current re-
ceipts. Packer hides show some signs
of weakness, but no quotable declines
of account are recorded. Country
hides are easy, but unchanged, while
he foreign markets continue firm.

Better in the South.

Retail trade has largely been con-
fined to clearance sales of summer
goods, but the results here have not
been uniformly satisfactory, owing to
unfavorable weather conditions and
the restricted buying power of many
consumers. Perhaps the most uni
for1nly favorable reports as to trade
come from the South, where bumper
crop prospects stimulate a fair degree
OF confidence, and from points of the
Southwest, where the passing of the

sentiment.

Wholesale Business Slow.

Bradstreet's letter said:
While trade sentiment is rather
more cheerful, based upon the inn
provement in crop prospects caused
by rainfalls in sections badly in need
of moisture, actual business at whole
sale has been and is still rather slow
to expand. For this, conservatism as
to the fall outlook, some price uncer-
tainties, as in cotton goods, where
sharp declines in raw material have
brought about revisions in the goods
markets; tariff uncertainties and the
desire to obtain a clearer view of crop
outturn, are all held contributory.
Business Failures.
Business failures in the United
States for the week ending July 20,

When President Taft and Speaker
Champ Clark go to Kansas to the
semi-centennial of the admission of
that state into the Union. they will
drive pair of mules that will weigh
$500 pounds, stand eighteen hands
high, and are said to be the finest in
the whole west The Kansas people
are proud of their mule crop and feel
that they will honor the present and
the future president more by letting
them ride behind this magnificent

they to purchase golden chariot or

mule is a mule in that country, and
they grow them a little better than

"THE RECALL OF JUDGES"

Judge Van c. Swearingen, of the
criminal court of record of Jackson
vile, has recently given a most emf.
nent reason for the recall OF
judges"
A reporter of. the Jacksonville Me-
tropolis reading somewhere about the
press and the people being accorded
the right of free speech in the con-
stitution of our state and of the Unit
ed States, had the temerity to exer-
else the privilege in reporting a re-
cent matter in Judge Swearingen's S
court. 1t was too much for his 'iu-
dicial highness!" When the reporter
acknowledged that he was the author
of the yexing article in question his
highness' Immediately proceeded to
get into a towering rage and hurled
language at the reporter that is said
TO be entirely unprintable, and if he
had been upon his little throne he
would in all probability have ordered
the reporter sent to Jail for contempt
OF his mightiness."
If the Metropolis account of the af-
fair is correct and the editor of this
paper We're governor he would remove
Mr.. Swearingen from office, or know
the reason why. He would see that
the right of the freedom of the press
was respected by the judiciary as
well as by the common people.

TRADE CONDITIONS

Drn's Review for September says
that a better tone in general trade,
not alone at New York City, but at
most iobbing centers of the west and
south. is evident Cotton goods are
in better demand, revision of prices
having apparently stimulated busi-
ness. Export inquiry for print cloth
ic active. and the demand at Fall
River shows a marked Improvement.
In steel decreased orders from the
railroads are largely Offset by the
heavier business in structural
shapes: low stocks make consumers
more eager to cover fall and winter
requirements at Pittsburgh, and sew
eral furnaces are going into blast be-
cause of the broader inquiry. for pig
iron. Large orders are taken for
steel bars at Chicago at terms which
show some concessions from previous
quotations. In footwear there is
greater activity, but the buying is
still notably conservative, the dispo-
sition being to cover consumptive re-
uuirements only. Domestic hides
hold firm. Harvesting of wheat has
been largely completed in many Sec
tions and elevators at terminal points
are congested. These conditions
somewhat restrict speculative opera
tions on the grain markets. The cot
ton market is more susceptible to un-
satisfactory crop advices, the govern
ment estimate on Friday showing a
deterioration of about Is per cent. in
the candition of the plant, which is
above the average. Stock market
trading in August exceeded that of
any other month this year. but the
heavy liquidation caused a net de-
cline of fully 81 in average railway
prices. Bank clearings this week
show gains of "a per cent. and 10
per cent, respectively, over last year,
both at New York City and cities out
side the metropolis.
