NOTE BOOK SKETCHES

The backwardness of the present
season has furnished ample opportunity
to test the advantages of sterilizing
the tobacco beds before sowing the
seed. Growers tell us that during the
lone spell of cold, wet weather the
plants on steamed beds have continued
to advance, while those on the beds
not steamed have made very little pro-
gress. Some commencement In the
transplanting has been under way dur
ing the week with plants that invarla-
bly, have been taken from steriliZed
beds, even though chances have been
taken that frost might overtake them
in the fields. The temperature several
nights this week dropped to only a
point or two from the frost line and
made shivering work about the trans
planting when overcoats and mlttens
seem not out of place. Unless weather
turn more favorable shortly
the indications are there will be good
deal of late tobacco planted this year
for there are more small plants seen
about the country than for several
years past at this date. 1t is only
those growers who have employed up
to. date methocs in the preparation and
care of their beds that are abreast with
the season and will have their tobacco
in the field within the usual limits of
transplanting.

The condition Of the islands is declared to
be such that sugar cultivation can hardly
be continued, the growing of cotton meets
with great difficulties, AMI the negro popu-
iation is becoming extinct or is emigrating.
The Minister in an interview said that what
was to be done would be considered when
the Governor arrived, but that it would
need time.
Mr.. Karl Lachmann, a member of the
Committee, was of the opinion that other
methods Of cultivation were quite possible
which would give greater earnings but that
the support Of Government was necessary.

bombardmeut of towns in Kent, and the re-
celpt Of kilograms reporting activity at the

alarm was felt, the previous raids having
proved nearly harmless. On Friday after
noon a demonstration was nude 10y German
aeroplanes, Their first appearance being at
noon over Herne Bay. Within a few minutes
they were over Canterbury and were soon over
Faversbam and Settiugbourue, dropping
bombs on each town, but the damage was
negligible, as far Us has been reported. A
biplan4 flew over Sheerness aud was fired ut
by the anti-aircrnft guns, upon which the
machine suddenly dipped, and the spectators
thinking it had been winged cheered wildly,
bat it recovered itself ,ascended and travelled
across the Isle of Sheppey, south of the
Thames, and escaped to the open sea.
The naval dockyards ut Sheerness and the
aviation station at Chatham ale believed to
have been the detectives of this daylight
raid. The Germans also attempted to drop
bombs on the camp of the Royal Dublin
FusiIiers at Settingbourre, but were driven
off by a hot fire, after hurting one explosive
into an orchard two hundred yards from the
camp.
Twelve towns within n radius of seventy
miles of London were visited by the raiders
earlier on Friday aud six were bombarded
by explosive and incendiary shells. Three
shells were dropped near Henham Hall, the
residence of the Earl of Stradbroke, near
S%outhwold, which has been converted into a
hospital for the British wounded, and ex-
ploded within fifty yards of the building,
but without doing any damage. The great
est destruction occurred at Lowestoft, where
a timber yard was set on fire by incendiary
bombs aud the fle spreading destroyed nine
houses, the estimated damage amounting to
twenty thousand pounds.

the raid, because they were reported stimuli
taneously seventy miles apart.

most gigantic battle in the history of the
world has resulted in the complete defeat of
the Russians attempting to cross the
Carpath;ans. The four weeks engage
mont, III which three and a half million men
participated, reached a climax several days
ago, when the Russian offensive was stopped
and entirely repulsed. The enomy's losses
were appalling and daily as many as six hun
diod trains carried the wounded into the
interior Of Russia. The Russian field hospi-
tails are overcrowded and thousands Of the
enemy's soldiers have succumbed without
adequate medical attention. The captured
Russian officers describe the condition of the

McCONNELL'S
SELLS FOR LESS.
THREE IN ONE

The inexperienced man, as a rule,
starts exactly backward when he has
decided to buy Life Insurance. Nine
times out of ten the first thing he
asks the agent is not how long his
company has been in business, what
kind of record it has for giving a
Square Deal to its policy holders, or
to explain the terms and conditions
of the policies it issues, but asks what
will be the cost. He has an idea that
all companies are About the same
and the one point for him to consider
is Cost. Now, George, let me tell
you plain fact, and that is that you
can take five policies for $1,000 each
in five Of the leading companies ana
carry them, say Is years, and you Will
find that there will not be exceeding
s1.OO on the $1,000 difference In the
annual cost between the highest and
lowest and possibly not over so cents,
provided they are all taken at the
same age and are on the same plan.
There is likely to be material dli1er.
ence in the terms Of the contract ana
the records Of the company, and these
two last features are the points to be
considered. If you have not already
done so l suggest that you read the
advertisement in The Enquirer OF
May 25, headed "All Companies NOT
About the Same" as it fully illus
trates my point. No company has a
Cleaner Record than the Mutual Ben
eft; None issues policies so thor
oughly protecting the interest of the
insured against every contingency,
and no company has a better record
for Low Net Cost. Look Before You
Leap.

FALL OF PRZEMYSL
Austrians Re-take Fortress Recently
Captured bv Russians.

London, July 3.-With the capture
of Przemysl, accomplished early TO-
dav. the Austro- German armies
achieved the main object of the great
thrust that commenced against the
Russians in western Galacia a month
ago today. They have yet to drive
the Russians further back and estap,
lish themselves in easily de1enueo
positions which will enable them 10
detach forces for operations against
Italy and the allies in the west:
Whether or not they accomplish TINS
the Teutonic allies have won great
,,ictorv and with a suddenness which
overshadows all past operations or the
war II was only ten weeks ago that
PrZemysl fell to the Russians after
six months investment which was IN
terrupted for a short time In NoVem-
her by an Austrian advance. with the
surrender of the fortress, there fell In
to the Russian hands, according to Of
ficial reports, 100000 AuStrlans ana
600 guns and an immense amount Oh
war material. Most OF the forts, now
ever. had been destroyed by the Aus
trians and this is considered IN mill
tary circles here to account FOR the
fact that the fortress succumbed so
quickly to the Austro- German attack.
When the Russians captured
Przemysl they were passing the Aus
trians across the Carpathian passes
Then on May 8, came the news OF
Great Austro- German drive into Ga
lacia. Advancing slowly, but surely
and carrying 1000 guns, the Teutons
compelled the Russians to fall back
until the Russian line ran to the right
hank of the river San. Crossing the
river. the Austro- German forces pro-
crossed to the north and south or the
fortress and on Tuesday, Berlin an
nounced that three forts to the north
had been stormed, while Vienna stated
that the railway between PrZemysl
and Lemberg was commanded by Aus
trian guns. nj,
There was still hope in the allied
countries, however that a Russian
counter-offensive would hold the in
vaders off, but this proved ill-founded
and today the Russians had to leave
the city which earlier in the war had
cost them so dearly to win.
There is no estimate of booty cap
tured but it is fairly certain that the
Russians. having lots Of time. got
away as many men and as much ma
terial as possible and destroyed the
guns and ammunition that remained.
1t is expected here that the victors
will endeavOr to push on to Lembers
and even further.

Steel Trust Wins.-The United States
district court Of New Jersey on yester-
day, handed down unanimous de-
cision refusing the petition of the
Federal government to dissolve the
United States Steel corporation.
AS against the government the court
refused to dissolve the corporation,
holding that in acquiring its foreign
and home trade the concern did not
violate the Sherman antitrust act,
and refused all the injunctions prayed
for by the department Of justice.
AS against the Steel corporation the
court held that the committee meet
ing participated in by 95 per cent or
the steel trade Of the country, includ-
ing the Steel corporation, subsequent
to the famous Gary dinners OF eight
or nine years ago, were unlaWtul COM
binations to control prices; but as
these meetings had stopped before the
government filed its complaint in Oc-
tober, 1911, the judges held that there
was no occasion for an injunction.
The opinion Of the court suggests
that such practices lie within the
province of the new Federal trade
commission, but adds that If their
repetition is apprehended the court
will, on motion Of the government, re-
tain jurisdiction Of the case for that
particular purpose.
A synopsis Of the decision Of the
senior Judge, Joseph w. Burlington,
prepared by direction Of the court,
states that the keynote Of the entire
opinion is that this case, a proceed
ing under the Sherman antitrust law,
is largely one Of the business facts"
In another part Of the opinion the
court states that 'the real test of mo-
nopoly is not the size Of that which
is acquired but the trade power or
that which is not acquired"
IF mere size were the test Of mo-
nopoly and trade restraint" the court
said further on, I'VE have not one, but
half a dozen unlawful monopolies In
the large department stores of a single
CITY,"

linters Soar in Priee.-Linters are
used in the manufacture Of powder
and because Of the demand for powd-
er, brought about by the European
war the prices Of linters are soaring
out of sight. Linters usually sell for
20 per cent Of the market price OF
cotton, and under normal conditions
the price would be about cents per
pound. But instead Of 2 cents they
are bringing so per cent Of the price
of cotton, or something in the neigh
borhood Of cents. A grade of inters
that sold for 40 Of = cent to l cent
per pound before the war broke out is
now selling for about 4 cents. Ordi-
nary trash" which means the sor.
riest grade of linters is selling at
31-2 to cents, when they used to
sell for to / 1-2 cents. The supply OF
linters hereabouts is exceedingly
small, but those who have any on
hand might be able to get as much FOR
it as they can get for cotton.-Ander-
