Farmers Should Cooperate
 With the Paper.

The Record Advertiser. pub ished at Huston, Va. is urging ts rural subscribers to do just what we should like for our farmers to do-give US the news from their farmsEto make our paper a sort of clearing house of ideas for farmers O. this vicinity.
 Farmers do nat use their local paper enough, and yet the paper affords the best and quickest ways to bnild up their farms and communities. Every farmer should tell his local paper about his success on the farm and how they Ewere achieved We are glad to get farming story. ; it enables us to spread the news of progress in our vicinity. Ard no one needs flow of eloquence to tell of his success. The facts of a farming success are eloquen ce in themselves. So write us Tle editor can re-arrange the wording if necessary.
 No ftrmer should be so indiff erent or so engrossed in his own work to pass a good idea along to his fellowmen, thus giving them the benefit of his experien- ce. Such is always an in8pira- tion to others. We well know the true and lasting advance ment of our community can come in no other way than thru the upbuilding of our farms, and so | Is not political and social news we want any n ore than il k news from the farms

Keep Your Eye Peeled

Watch out for a man who is trying to take the joy out cf life. Ten to one he is a reformer for revenue only, who is trying to ma'e things worse than they re hlN are, in ordee te make a p,lce for himself at the publ c pie eoanter. He'll get up an -r- ganization 10 fight something that gives plea ure to t r. The first thing such man d0es is to go to the cap tal to prevent the passage of a bill by which people will get some enjoyment
 He will try,t rave tlings Dfo
 hIbited. He is always trying,to prevent something. Did you eyor see this kind of a reformer trying to have a bill passed that would enable people to enjoy life Never! His sole idea is to force through the legislature or city neil a blue law to make other people live according to eis ideas, or to prevent the passage of laws introduced by other people who may want to live diff ferently. The world is =ad enough without losing our pleasures. There is no place in these red blco led days for blue laws The pastg f cd complex ion has gone out of style and the ruddy glow of health tells that We are living the right way The healthy man and woman, who loves lsfe and the things he can get from it, i@ a b. tier citizen by far than the 1yspeptic and sel
 fish reformer who is reforming for living or to make other people S miserable as himself.

INFORM THE EDITOR.

One of the most difficult of the editors jobs Is to gets facts about births. marriages, deaths. etc., People seem to think he ought to know these things by intuition.

Rememembe there are a good many people in this county. If the editor knew each of them by name. besides their family history and the chief events in the lives of every individual, he wouldn't be an editor.

The fife of the average newspaper man is a gay one. Gathering news Is second natyre to him, like picking his teeth with the office pen and cussing the office towel. Just the same, there a limit to his omniscience. Last week. we thought of a million eight hundred and forty nine thousand three hundred and slXty four things ot imp 1ttance, besides couple of hundred thousand small items unworthy of mention.

AUSTRO-GERMAN ADVANCE ON
WARSAW HALTED BY RUSSIANS
Cars Troops In Position to
Offer a Very Stubborn
Resistance.
BIZ ASSOCIATED PRESS.

London, July 22.-The Austro-Ger-
mans continue to press the Russian
forces defending Warsaw and while
they have made progress at some
points they have made no serious
breach in the well fortified lines de-
Tending the city. The Russians have
drawn back to Bridgehead, directly
west of Warsaw, and into the fortress
of Ivahgorod, farther southeast on
the Vistula. At these points they
probably can offer a more stubborn
resistance
The two attacks are being made
from the north, along the Narew river
by Won Hindenburg and that which
Won Mackensen is directing from the
southeast between the Vistula and
Bug rivers, apparently have been held
up, or the Germans are waiting an
opportune moment to move forward
and catch the Russian armies if they
evacuate Warsaw.
The Berlin official statement does
not record any advance for Macken-
sen and although it states the Rus
slams have ceased their counter-at-
tacks along the Narew, it does not
mention any success by Hindenburg.
Grand Duke Nicholas, although de-
ivering singing counter-attacks and
inficting heavy losses on the Austro-
Germans, must consider the safety of
his army more than the possession of
Warsaw.

and on the Mariampol Kovno road

NOW IN USE AS A
TROOP TRANSPORT

The British steamer August Bel.
mont has been purchased from the
Louisville & Nashville railroad By
c. G. Mengel Bros. Co., of Louisville,
firm which in the past ten years
has imported an immense quantity Of
mahogany logs through this port. Re-
Gently Mengel Bros. bought the Brit
ish steamer E. o. Saltmarsh from the
L. & N. and when she completes the
voyage on which she is now on will
be delivered to the new owners.
News of the deal whereby the ma
hogany importers acquire the August
Belmont became known in Pensacola
yesterday. The vessel, of about 5000
net tons, is now being used by the
British government as an army trans
port. She was requisitioned several
months ago when she carried cargo
from this port to England.
IN MAHOGANY TRADE.
The Belmont and Salhnarsh both
will be placed in the mahogany trade
and will ply out of Pensacola. While
much of the mahogany brought comes
from British Honduras, the firm also
imports several cargoes each year
from West Africa, SO it VIII have
probably sufficient business to keep
both the vessels busy.
It is not known when the new own

of the August Belmont for the reason
that the British government gives no
inthnation as to when it is willing
to return the vessel to the owners.

and as soon as she returns to this
port she viii be placed Ia the ma
hogany trade.
The two steamers were built about
ten years ago in British ship yards
for the L. & NJ, and went into the
coal trade between Pensacola and
| Tampico, in which business they re-
manned until the L. & N. lost the coal
contract. Since then they have been
plying out of Pensacola TO various
foreign ports, principally Liverpool.

1T does appear difficult to me to

pacity, you may count on my aid in
any possible way to tranquilize Mex

opposition in Chiapas or Tabisco, in
carrying out this great business"

says:

which, in my case, were very effec-

NO ANSWER NEEDED.

Concerning future conduct of Ger
man submarines, the note does moi
necessarily call for an answer as Il
announces the intention of the United
States to regard any further viola
don Of international law resulting ii
the loss of American lives as un-
friendly.
On the other hand the American
demands for disavowal of any inten.
tion to sink the Lusitania and the re
quest for PREPARATION are renewed II
the new note and very likely those
and other points such as the willing.
ness Of the United States to act as in.
ternediary between the belligerent'
to adjust rules of maritime warfare
VIII be the basis for further discus
sion by Germany.
An answer is not expected for a
least two or three weeks. It is gen
orally agreed among officials here
however, that any loss of American
lives in the meantime would in itsell
raise the question of action irrespec
tive of any formal reply from Ger
many.
The American note is in the nature
Of a final statement on the principles
involved in which the United States
takes the unalterable position tina
the accepted rules of internationa
law must govern the rights of neu
trails irrespective of retaliatory meas
ures of the belligerents against ont
another.
What action would be taken by tn
United States in the event of turtle
violation Of American rights is no
disclosed in the new note, nor was
officially commented on here today
A general understanding prevails
however, that another disaster sue
as befell the Lusitania would mea,

gress.
President Wilson has given carefu
attention to eventualities to which tn
new American note may commit tn
United States and he believes
places squarely on Germany respor

rupture.
