Explains Aggressions.
That is the explanation of the ap-
parent anxiety of each of the warning
nations to pass the buck" and get out
from under the onus of beginning the
war. The Kaiser declared that Ger
many was forced into the war by the
aggressions Of France and Russia
France on the other hand strenuously
asserted that the Germans were re-
sponsible.
For this reason also, both France
and Germany committed acts of war
before declaring war. German and
French troops were rushed to the from
tier and in some instances crossed it
before the formal declarations came.
The same is true Of Russia. Each ma
ton strove vigorously to provoke the
other to declare war first, so that the
technical responsibility might rest up
on them. But finally the Kaiser's pa
tience was tried to it's limit and Ger
many declared war on France and Rus

EVA SULLIVAN GETS
FINE FOR ASSAULT.
NeighbOr Tells of WOman's
Attack on Mrs. George Nc
kinney.

After two days investigation in a
justice court to determine her sanity,
which resulted in her being declared
sane, Mrs. Eva Sullivan, daughter of
Patrick Mckinley, former city forester
and sister of George Mckinley, city in
spector of weights and measures, was
arraigned in city court this morning
on charge of assault and battery on
Mrs. George Mckinley, found guilty
and fined 81 and costs. She paid the
fine. After her conviction Mrs. Sulli-
van became very hysterical and as
serted that they have been trying to
get me in the insane asylum since
was little girl
Several weeks ago Patrick McKin-
ley was admitted to the Eastern Indi-
ana Insane hospital and since that
time his wife, who is in very feeble
condition, has been living with her
daughter, who is divorced.
Women Pull Hair.
According to the testimony Mrs. Nc
kinley became quite i'll last week and
was advised to go to the hospital She
sent for her daughter-in-law and re-
quested her to care for her. This fact
was substantiated by Mrs. Robert Hor-
ton, an aged neighbor woman. Mrs.
Sullivan returned home and ordered
her sister-in-law out of the house. The
Invalid begged her daughter-in-law not
to go and Mrs. Sullivan then attacked
her. A hair pulling battle ensued, end
ing in Mrs George Mckinley showing
Mrs Sullivan, who was only scantily
attired, out Of the house.
81 was present when the trouble &C.
Cured said Mrs. Horton, land l must

Mrs. Sullivan called Mrs. George Nc
kinley. 1t was awful Mrs. George Nc
klnley did not provoke Mrs. Sullivan
and she only resisted her in self de-
! fense'
Mrs. Sullivan asserted that she was
a victim of a conspiracy and that her
brother and his wife were attempting
to secure her fathers furniture and
that was the reason she had ordered
her sister-in-law to leave the house.
She said Mrs. Mckinley attacked her
and beat her severely.

BLAME CONSUMER
FOR RAPID BOOST
IN PRICE OF SUGAR
Erocers Cite Family Specula-
ton, Housewives Flooding
Them With Orders and Elk
ceeding Supply on Hand.

Family speculation is as much the
cause of the increase OF $2.oo nun
dred on sugar in the last week as tue
war, according to prominent e,ocer
who says the consumer hlmseiI IS as
much to blame as any one tor the hlsn
prices In commodities.
Everything but local vegetables ana
fruits continues in the aeroplane tac-
tics of the first of the week Inls IS
partly due to the fact that sugar Is
used In making so many Things. ln-
ported stuffs in spite Of the full ware
houses and the fact that Importers
bought before war affected the prices
on the other side. will continue 10
rise as long as the people consume
and pay the price.
Consumer Specuates.
With high prices contemplated py
the manufacturers and brokers tnls
year, the mere announcement that
war would undoubtedly cause lmmed-
late increases stimulated trade. Inc
consumer specializing, bought up as
much sugar as possible. The grocer
ordered more from his jobber and In
turn the jobbers over the country sent
in calls to their brokers asking for
more sugar. Coming into the ref1ner
power was in a position to sit behind
his desk, add another half cent raise
each day and say, Take it or leave 1t.
Someone else wants it if you don't.
No doubt exists among grocers tnat
the high price of sugar will remain
as 1t Is only so long as the demand
continues. When every family has
stocked up with sugar. the price will
come back to normal. With the heavy
supply on hand in each family, there
will be little demand for short time
Another thing which affects the price
slightly is the fact that shippers can
not secure burlap for sacks and they
are again shipping in barrels, much
more expensive method.
Too High to Can.
There are good crops in local and
shipped fruits. The grape crop is I'M
usual this year. The peach crop is
good but with the high price of sugar,
housewives will be unable to can
peaches except at prices beyond the
reach of the average family. Pine
apples, oranges and other semi-tropic-
al fruits seem to be of good quality.
Tomatoes are out of sight for can
ming. The long drought while the
tomotatoes were beginning to form
and while they were ready to ripen,
has made the supply poor and the
quality poor
There seems to be no inclination on
the part of farmers to increase prices
on what they can offer the market
There is a plentiful supply of almost
everything the farmer and truck gard
ener has. Within the past two or
three days, a good supply of local
musk melons of the tip top variety
have been brought in from around
Richmond and are being sold in
preference to the shipped nut megs.

lor IGA06O "IH6.J
LONDON, Aug. 15.-Since the incep-
in Europe, much is heard of the Triple
Alliance and the Triple Entente. Those
two coalitions were formed ostensibly
for defensive purposes and the two in
clude all of the important nations of
Europe, the six Great Powers.
What they are:
Triple Alliance-Germany, Austria
Hungary and Italy. This alliance was
first dual alliance between Germany
and Austria, formed in 1873 after the
Franco-Prussian War, as defense
against the encroachments of the
French and Russians. Bismark, the
great German chancellor was the
prime mover in the alliance and he
had visions of "Dreikaiserbund,'-
Russia, which never materialized In
1883 Italy entered the Triple Alliance.
The pact was amplified in 1887 and re-
newed in 1902 and 1907. It's last period
of expiration was June IA, 1914, but at
that time the alliance was renewed for
twelve years.
Triple acknowledgement, France
and Russia. This coalition had it's be-
l.
STA laid the foundation of a dual alli-
ance which was perfected in 1897 In
1904 Great Britain formed an entente
cordiale with France and in 1907 made
a similar arrangement with Russia.
The "interlocking" agreements among
the three nations resulted in the Triple
Entente.
Italy Keeps Neutrality.
Diplomats are now wondering if the
Triple Alliance is in process of disin-
tegration since the beginning of the
big war. Italy, one of the signatories,
has so far maintained strict nuetrality,
in the face of prayers, pleadings and
threats from the Kaiser. More than
that, Italy has intimated she would
probably throw in her lot with the
Triple Entente If she were forced into
the war. The apparent detection of
Italy, while at no time officially de
clared apparently reduces the Triple
Alliance to a Dual Alliance.
The articles of agreement on which
rest both the Triple Alliance and the
Triple Entente lay great stress on the
assertion they are for defense only.
For instance, Germany is pledged to
assist Austria-Hungary against Rus

POTATO PROSPECTS

A few weeks ago the report Of the quar-
antining Of Maine potatoes on account Of
the powdcry scab disease led me TO suc-

than usual. \ very recent review n
prices paid TO farmers on May ! of this
and previous years appears TO supper;

receiving on the average 1li2 cents Il
bushel. which is about IS per cent more
than at the same time last year. South
Carolina and Louisiana We're the only
states showing a decrease in This NC
ure. but even taking il into account the
prices remained rather astonishing-yiz
81 81 and 81 bushel respectively. Now
it need not always follow that when
the farmer gets little higher price the
ultimate consumer should have TO con-
tribute more than his share Of the pro-
ducing class profits. As things are nov.
however. the average farmer is getting
nearly the minimum share OF the con-
snmer's dollar, So that when = rise in

PROPER METHOD OF SPRAYING
CELERY.

No less important but not little diff
ferent are the recommonda tons of the
Department of Agriculture. based on eX-
periments of a somewhat similar nature,
but involving different crop and diff
ferent treatment. Celery. as many

This seemed bad state Of affairs until

choose the right type Of spray nozzle
and an apparatus capable Of producing a
rather high pressure-at least huntred

applied only long enough to cover the
foliage and not so long that streams Of
the mixture begin TO run down the stalks.
At the same time the consumer. unless
