These facts probably account for the

Bulgaria's reply to the Seryian note

feels that she is absolutely In the

tally unfounded.
The ambassadorial conference here
discussed the question of providing
Servia with a commercial outlet tc

The Kick of the Cook

During one of his first tours in the United States Paderewski enjoyed a dinner which was equal to anything he could have expected in one of the best PaTisiaA restaurants. He was so surprised and pleased that he sent his thanks and compliments to the chef.
 A few years later, happening to be in the same city, he again went to that restaurant. The meal he got was still far above the. average but was not so good as before. However, on the occa- sion of third visit he again tried the same place. The food was uninterest- ing from the beginning of the meal to the end
 He asked the head waiter whether the former chef had left. He had not left, the waiter informed him, and, on being pressed for an explanation of the change in the quality of the meals, he said:

nents necessary for plant growth, was
marketed in the United States last year
to the extent of 2,973,332 long tons, val
ued at Sll,675,7T4. This was slight
decrease in both quality and value COM
pared with the figures for the preceding
year, but the amount of phosphate rock
mined was greater than in 1911, except
ing in South Carolina In Florida the
increase was per cent, in Tennessee it
was over u per cent. and in the west
ern phosphate field it was over 10 per
cent.
Stocks of phosphate rock on hand also
increased in the two main producing
Southern states, Florida and Tennessee.
On the whole the industry in the main
southern phosphate field was active.
The production of phosphate rock in
Florida was 81 per cent. of the entire
output of the United States. The out
put of this state which at the present
time leads in the phosphate industry,

the greatest in the history of the state.
