The Change of Name
What "Penny" of Nails Mean

The terms ten-penny, ETC., as ap-
piled to nails came from the number
in a pound, pronounced pun. Nails Of
such size that it took 1000 of them
to weigh four, six. eight or ten pounds
were popularity known as four-pun'
nails, six-pun' nails, eight-pun' nails
and ten-pun' nails, respectively; and
IN the course of time, four-pun' nails,
slx-pun' nails, etc., were gradually cor
rupted to the meaningless four-penny
nails, six-penny nails, etc.

Market Cooperation

"The farmers can produce without
organization, but to successfully mar
ket he must unite his neighbors. The
farmer is the directing head of his
business. He himself directs and car
ries all responsibilities. The farmer
| cannot be helped until he organizes
| and the government cannot help the
farmer except through organization.
Farmers Institutes are held eevry-
where throughout the country. One is
told how to prepare the land, how and
when to plant seeds, fertilize and Gull
tivate and gather crops, etc., but not
word about marketing. l doubt if
our federal and state governments
ever considered the marketing prob

The Florida Farmer
"The time has come when some
thing must be done and very quickly
to help the Florida farmer. He is not
situated like the western farmer who
has markets for everything he pro-
duces all the year and right at his
doors. All he has to do is load up a
load of wheat, corn, oats, potatoes,
hay, ETC., haul to the nearest town
where he receives the cash at market
prices.
''The Florida farmer has no home
market for his products, only in a linn
tied quantity, hence must look to dis
tant markets to dispose of his goods.
How profitable this has been nobody
knows better than the truck farmers.
He has the experience, but very little
cash. Since he has nothing but ex-
perience he is anxious to help create
some distributing and marketing sys-
tenn, by which the Florida products
can be marketed intelligently and be-
lieves that the Florida marketing bu-
reau will give u the proper relief.
The GluVted Markets
"The farmers are not the only peo-
pie affected when there are no re-
turns owing to glutted markets, i'm

commission merchants. The merch-
ant, crate manufacturer, the fertilizer
men, seed men, the express company
and the railroad company all suffer

make no money the deposits shrink
alarmingly. Look at the bank state
ments throughout the vegetable dis
tricts and compare them with former
seasons. 1t will open your eyes and
will show that the farmer and his

O-BARREL FLOUR
IS A POSSIBILITY
Says Foreign Demand Keeps
Prices Soaring,

Philadelphia, Aug. 12.-Flour deal
ers here say it is not improbable that
flour will go up to as high as $3.50 or
$40 a barrel soon.
Replying to the assertion of Louis
J. Kolb that there is no excuse for the
advance in the price of -four, -four
dealers say there is already a very
great increase in the foreign demand
for -four and wheat.
1.-THE only thing that prevents ship
ments Is that we cannot insure de-
livery" said dealer. Although there
is in this country one of the largest
wheat crops we have ever had, the
milling price to the jobber for spring
wheat patent flour is Sc barrel. Flour
jumped thirty cents on Monday. That
means that barrel of -four now costs
81 to the consumer, and | wouldn't be
surprised if it went higher. 1t is pos
sible to put up the wheat market fifty
cents more. This would mean an addi.
tional $3.50 barrel on -four. In fact,
it's very possible flour may rise to
$3.50 and SO barrel"

BRITISH LOSE CRUISER
OFF PACIFIC COAST
Germans Believed to Have
Sunk the Rainbow.

San Francisco, Aug. y. - That a
British warship was torn to pieces by
an explosion off the near California
coast is the conviction of persons who
carefully examined flotsam cast upon
the beach. Vancouver naval officials
say the wreckage is from the Cana
dian cruiser Rainbow.
Bolts and fittings were not only torn
from their seats, but in one instance
the brass runner on a sliding door
had been twisted into tangled knot.
An iron reinforcement, two inches
wide by quarter of an inch thick,
had been snapped in two.
Portions OF the woodwork had been
splintered and the general effect OF
the damage done was dissimallar to
what would have been the work OF
even the hastiest dismantlement. One
door panel bore the appearance OF
having been pierced by a she'll or
some other fragment of flying metal.
The fiotsam consisted on three
while painted pannelled screen doors,
with slide and weather screen over
foot grids; one heavy hardwood panel,
with glass doors intact, bearing the
inscription: ships library" eiS2t
sections Of i1ssff d " ood shelves
twenty-six other pieces of -miscella-
neous woodwork, all painted white.
Explosions also were heard off Sal
ada Beach, twenty-odd miles south, at
the same time. but it was believed to
have been blasting.
The German cruiser sighted off the
Golden Gate must be either the Nurn-
berg or the Leipsig. Best information
would indicate the latter.

said the Austrians had occupied Nile
show, ten miles within the border OF
Russian Poland, after defeating body
of Cossacks. The Cossacks lost 400
killed or wounded and the Austrlans
14O wounded.
Fighting has evidently occurred on
the Russo-German frontier, as six
carloads of German prisoners were
reported to have passed through Wilma

Russian funds seized in the Berlin

No Naval Battle Yet.

at least no news of it is forthcoming.

REPORT FIGHTING
ON FRENCH BORDER
French and German Troops
Clash Along Wide Area.
DRIVEN FROM MUEHLHAUSEh
Troops of Republic Abandon Town In
Alsace When Big German Army APP
pears From the North.

Paris, Aug. 12-French and German
troops are engaged for a distance OF
twenty miles along the frontier, the
war office here announced.
The soldiers are in contact at Long
WY, Languyon and Marville, in France,
and at Virton, in Belgium. German
forces are accommodating north OF
Montmedy.
Threatened by an overwhelming
force of German infantry and artillery
advancing from the north, the French
army that captured Muehlhausen has
been compelled to withdraw from that
city and is slowly falling back.
The war office explained this re-
treat, saying that the French troops
that had occupied the city withdrew
to high ground south of the town to
oppose the German attacking force,
and repused all their assaults.
Muehlhausen is not fortified town,
and the French picked advantageous
ground to meet the Germans, accord
ing to the war office.
They repulsed a preliminary attack
upon the captured city, but were
forced to retreat before the over
whelming numbers of the Germans.
The German forces that invaded
France from Esch, near Luxembourg,
have been defeated and forced to re
treat, the war minister also announc,
ed.
The German cavalry, supported by
artillery, came into contact at Spin
court, in the department of Mouse,
with the French defenders and were
repulsed after a sharp battle.
This first encounter of French and
/ German forces on French soil proved
unimportant as an engagement, but
It did derive Importance from the fact
that it revealed the presence of a
stronger German army than was
known to be in that district. No report
was made as to the losses on either
side.

had been completed by the Germans
who are unloading thousands of troops
about Gerolstein, Metz and at Thion'
