PLAN FOR SOUTH
AMERICAN TRADE
First National Bank of Chicago to Es-
tablish Branch in Peru's Capital
Following New York Example

Washington, Aug. o. The First Ma
tional bank of Chicago, it became known
here yesterday, is taking active steps to
promote trade with South America. 1t
plans to establish branch bank, under
the new federal reserve act, in Lima,
Peru
Taken in connection with the activity
of the National City bank of New
York, in establishing South American
branches, this news is of moment, as
pointing to strong disposition on the
part of American financiers to bestir
themselves TO build up Latin American
business
John j. Arnold, vice president OF the
First National Of Chicago, has been in
Washington to confer with Minister
Perez OF Peru about the matter. The
Peruvian government subsidies a line
of five steamers on the Pacific coast 1t
is proposed to change the route of these
so as to make New Orleans the north
ern port of call.
Minister Perez is going to Chicago
September 3 TO confer with Chicago bus
mess men as TO getting cargoes for these
vessels. Mr.. Arnold says there will be
no difficulty about the cargoes.

WHEAT ON WAY TO SWISS.
/ 100000 Bushels from America in Brit
ish Ships.

Washington, Aug. %. More than one
million bushels of American wheat are
on the way to Switzerland, having left
this country in British bottoms. The
shipment of three cargoes was arranged
by DR.. Charles Paul Hubscher, charge of
the legation here. Arrangements have
been made to allow the passage through
France and Italy of foodstuffs intended
for Switzerland, The legation has little
fear that the careoes will be taken by
Great Britain, although she could do so
provided payment were made. AT the
British embassy it was sais England did
not need more foodstuffs than she was
procuring.
If the wheat which is being sent from
this country TO Switzerland reaches its
destination, the Swiss government prob
ably will purchase coal and other sup
plies in the United States markets dur
ing the hostilities in Europe. Two ships
more wheat will sail from Gal
weston next week.

WAR AFFECTS ANTHONY MARKET
United States Geological Survey Lists
Deposits in United States.

Antimony is ordinarily one of the
cheaper metals, selling at one and half
times to twice the price of zine, but
since the outbreak Of the European war
it has reached more than 30 cents a
pound, a price higher than that of alu-
minum, During the six years from 1908
to 1913, inclusive, the price of Cookson's
anthony ranged from 7,45 to 1881 cents
a pound, and the yearly averages ranged
from s.24 to SIS cents pound. Much
of the time during the present year the
price has been still lower, and toward
the end Of July it was quoted as to
7;l0 cents Other brands have ranged
from OPS to LIS cents lower. As has
been pointed out in the United States
Geological Surveys reports, at these
prices anthony ores cannot be worked
proftsbly under the high labor costs pre-
vailing in the mining regions of the
United States unless the deposits are
yerx large and advantageously situated.
No deposits of antimony ores have been
found in the United States which entire
Nv fulfill these conditions, and as a re-
suit practically all the anthony metal
used here is imported from European
smelters, mostly from England The
ores for these smelters come largely
from China, Mexico, France. and Aus

stringent regulations concerning the san
! itary conditions associated with the milk
supply. Compliance with these sanitary
rules requires additional care, attention
and extra expense on the part of the
producer of the milk, and while this ex-
pense may not be large, it is only fair
| that the consumer should pay his share
Of the cost of improving the quality OF
| the milk. The consumer cannot expect
to purchase clean, safe milk at the
same price az dirty milk which endan-
gers the health of his family
A more serious consideration is the
marked increase in the cost of produc
ton which has resulted in recent years
from feed and labor problems. This
increase is in keeping with the increase
in the cost of almostaevery commodity,
and the consumer must expect to pay
his portion of any legitimate increase
in the cost of production occasioned by
these conditions.
On the other hand there is need of
more attention to better management
on the average farm devoted to the pro.
duction of milk. The amount of milk
produced per COW is frequently so low
as to reflect seriously upon the business
ability of the owner. A producer who
makes no systematic effort to lower the
cost of production by increasing the
average production of milk per COW is
entitled to little sympathy If he finds
the business Improbable. The profits
yielded by a good COW often 90 to offset
losses caused by poor cows in the same
stable The keeping of records Of pro-
duction of each individual in the herd,
the elimination of improbable cows, the
improvement of the herd through selec
tion of the best producers and breeding
them to a bull of dairy merit, and the
selection of the best heifers from such
breeding are necessary to put milk pro-
duction on a sound basis. Unless the
producer does these things he disregards
The fundamental principles of business
and it is unreasonable for such |
man to expect the consumer to pay
him a profit on business practices which |

WAR HIT PARIS
GROCERS FIRST
Mobilization Caused Rush Of Eager Buy
ers-Forces Wera In
creased

Paris, Aug. 22.-Faith in the ultimate
success of the entente against the al
lance il utmost here Here is story
illustrating the dnwayering confidence
manifested everywhere:
Felix Dumesnil, eight years old, lives
in the apartment under that ! occupy.
The first day of the French mobiliza-
ton his father was called to the colors.
As each reservist was called to report
at some particular point, ! asked
Felix, where is your father going"
TO Berlin" the French boy replied,
quite as il Berlin was just across the
street.
In the early days Of the mobilization
the oldest and most alarming spectacle
in Paris was the run on grocery stores.
These were literally besieged by fore,
sighted people who love to eat. Thurs
day and Friday following the call to
the colors those places of business had
doubled and trebCd their forces, and
even then long waiting lists Of people
desiring to be served were seen. The
police had to be called 10 preserve or
der. Lanes were roped of and inside
of these people waited patiently for
hours for a chance to buy.
The idea was clear enough. Fearing
a food shortage, they wanted TO lay in
a supply. The period OF mobilization
had been calculated at 2l-days that
was the popular idea anyway-and dur
ing these q days all the trains and all
be in use hauling the army off to fight.
Paris would have to "live on her fat
for The mobilization period and it must
not be forgotten that Frenchmen love
to eat.
So they bought potatoes, noodles and
similar dried pastes smoked or other
wise cured meats, ssusages and what |
not; dried peas and beans, concentrated |
soups, condensed milk. coffee, tea and |
cocoa, sugar and, above all, salt They |
Hid not forget the salt Paris has not |
vet forgotten that siege back in 1871 |
and her children lave heard what it /
means not to have salt
The money panic added to The family |
providers troubles. Many persons, after
six or eight hours awaiting
heir turn at the busy clerks, made their
purchases with due care and rendered
payment in the form, say, of 100 franc
tote.
You haven't the change" the clerk
would demand
That's all / have" the customer
would reply.
"Then monsieur viii have to leave
he merchandise" and the clerk would
urn away and wait on another Gus
omer
The clerk meant exactly what he said.
Two or three DAYS before the mobiliza-
ion order change had been next to inn

ants refused TO change anything bigger

CLEAN MILK ECONOMICAL
Even Though Secured at Higher Price

1Hdu oiuihaiAys
There has been in the past much in
difference on the part of consumers with
respect to the cleanliness OF milk; too
many of them desire to buy milk at a
low price and do net give any consfdera-
fion to quality. Dirty milk may prove
expensive as gift, while clean milk
may be economical even at high price !;
Che cheapest article is often the most
expensive. A higher price for clean milk
may be cheap insurance against some
form of sickness.
In recent farmers bulletin mo. 602)
The U. S. department of agriculture has
outlined the main factors that should go
TO favor the production of clean, safe
milk These include clean, healthy cows
kept in light, well-ventilated stables that
may be easily cleaned; well-drained
barnvard; thoroughly sterilized utensils,
and healthy mixers that milk with dry
hands; smal-top milking pail; a sep
