SERIOUS WAR EFFECT
NOT EXPECTED HERE
General Business Conditions
Likely to Improve,

Washington, July 30.-President
Wilson kept closely informed of the
war situation in Europe through re-
ports from American diplomats
abroad, but there was no change in
the attitude of mere observation.
Secretary Redfield indicated TO the
White House he had no fear that
war in Europe would have any serious
effect on conditions in the United
States 1t is the belief of officials
close to the president that although
prices of foodstuffs may go up in this
country general business conditions
resulting from the demand for Amer
ican products abroad will offset this.
Secretary Bryan said that Ambas.
sador Penfield had not yet transmitted
to the department any formal an
nouncement from the Austrian for
eign Office that a state of war exists
with Servia.

many scientific principles which have
been introduced into farming, among
the first of which is emphasized the
necessity OF using tested seeds, many
farmers have failed to recognize this
need, and as q consequence are not
making the advance financially that
their more progressive neighbors have
made. 1t Is said that one bad ear of

five dollars at the end of the season.

200 Plots Under Direction
of Prof. Thompson.

Work of establishing the municipal
school gardens of the city is we'll I'M
der way at the Whitewater. Moore and
the Garfield schools. Although the
weather has hindered the work to
some extent god part of the plots
have been planted and the success OF
the venture seems assured.
The ground at the different gardens
has been divided into small sections,
each student to have charge of plot.
At the Whitewater and the Moore
schools, about 200 plots have been laid
out for as many scholars. In this way
each student is responsible for his part
of the garden and friendly rivalry

Try Early Varieties.
All sorts Of vegetables, as we'll as all
varities Of flowers will be grown In the
gardens. The plots at present are be-
ing planted with a crop of early vege-
tables. Flowers will border the fences
and the edges of the gardens, while
climbing plants and vines will be plant
ed to cover the fences. Later on 1t Is
planned to raise some special plants
but the common varities will be grown
at first.
The matter Of building greenhouse

this would be the ideal location for the
building, as conditions at that place
are more favorable than at any other
