The month Of March, 1914 could

spring weather, and this condition ex
tends all over the country.
The general absence Of rain and 9
temperatures above normal have
eliminated the. annual danger from
spring floods. t33} .sS
The snow is prac tical1y all gone in
every part OF the country, and the
ice has broken up and gone out Of
nearly. all Of the rivers without caus-
ing any marked rises of water, any
where. 3,s &! &. Il 81

NO OCCASION FOR STAMPEDE
From Register and 8Leader.)

There is every reason why the new
movements of Argentine beef ant
corn should be studied by the Amer
lean producer. But there is no rea
son q & why a increasing A importations
should cause stampede. For Ar
gentfna has been raising corn and
making beef for many years, and
this corn and 4bee has been ~ mar
keted somewhere. /. ;s:r
It. is well to have in mind, espe-
cially in the case of beet, that the
American pro ducer, after all, . Is
bound to meet his Argentine or Can
adam or Mexican competitor, for, one
year with another, the American pro.
Queer lis shipping a surplus to the
European market, and the Argentine
and Canadian and Mexican has free
access to that market. 81
q: It is easy to mistake the meaning
of incidental changes in the market.
a. shortage of crop, or foreign war,
orr any one Of a dozen other causes,
may create an abnormal condition
lasting possibly through several sea-
sons. But, in the end, production and
prices must reach the normal level,
and it is importan not to mistake
the nature Of this movement back.
It is a good thing for everyb body,
in the end, that prices do come back
to a normal level, however little the
beneficiary Of high prices may APP,
preciate the change while it is in !,
progress. Moreover, it as good
thing for everybody when just as lit
tie is done as possible to interfere
- zero, al In
price level. Tariffs should have for
their justification something more,
than merely boosting prices in a re-
stricted territory Beef, or wheat,
or corn, or anything else, should be
made artificially high only when
soaie important Interior purpose is
being served by thus bolstering the
industry. ~
There is much greater threat to
the American producer Of both corn
ar I beef in the monopolization of the
beef product of South America by the
American packing house trust than
in the direction the export ships
may take when they leave the Ar
gentine seaports. For while the con-
troll of the beef supply by the pack
ing houses will mean higher prices
to the consumer, it will not mean
higher prices to the producer.
The American producer has little
to fear in an unrestricted market.
Hc has much to fear from the men
who handle his product. 1t costs
the farmer more to sell what he
raises than it costs the producer of
any thing else; and there is more.
speculation in his commodities and
more monopolization Of his market.
It is we'll, as we suggested before,
to give careful attention to the
currents of ocean shipments
If corn and beef. But it is we'll not |
% be stampeded.

Inns celebration of great German
victory in Poland was premature. All
the German headquarters say of the
battle there, is that the pursuit of the
enemy continues.
The Russian official report says the
engagements which have taken place
on the left bank of the vistula have
been nothing more than outpost af-
fairs. In these the Russians would
seem to have been engaged in holding
the Germans, while the Russian main
force was forming along the Bzura
river. where battle is beginning to
develop and German attacks is said to
have been repulsed
AS was expected, the Germans made
an attempt to cross the Vistula In an
endeavor to outflank the Russians,
but this was frustrated by a de-
structive fire from the Russian
artillery and the seizure Of the pontooD
bridges.
Still Against Cracow.
Despite the desperate work facing
them in North Poland, the Russians
continue their operations in East
Prussia and against Cracow, while in
Western Galicia they are taking up
positions along the Dounaictz river in
an attempt to stop the flow of the
Austro-German forces
Part of the Przemysl garrison has
made a sortie in force in an attempt
to open the railway to the southwest
and is giving battle to the Russian
besieging army.
Slow In Belgium.
With the Germans strongly in
trenched and the ground in bad condi-
ton, the offensive movement of the
Allies in Belgium and France is MAX
ing slow progress. At several points,
however, the French official report
records the capture of German
trenches. The offensive is being push
ed with considerable force in Flanders
and from the Belgian border south
to the River Disc, where the line turns
eastward
The Germans keep up violent coun-
ter-attacks and by these and the use
of mines have In some cases succeeded
in preventing the Allies from follow
