per-only fifth of the price paid for the champion Durham.
 Probably World Record.
 The boiled Angus, which was deemed the coming breed a few years ago, was in such little favor at Pal ermo that it was difficult to find a bidder The champion of this class went for only $4,5O0 paper. The An gus steer, however, is in great demand among the ablishments that pack frozen beef. Only recently prices in the ordinary cattle markets went as high as $4OO paper for this type of steer-probably a world record.
 One outcome of the f1ourishing state of the grazing industry may be i'm provements in the Argentine ranches. With the exception of few localities, grazing is carried on under primitive conditions, with little application of science and expert knowledge.
 Ideal Grazing Country.
 Argentina is an ideal grazing coun- try, but the natural pasture, except in privileged zones, is very scrubby. Ow- ing to these visible disadvantages lands were sold by the league in the old times the price being based upon the quantity of stock that could be carried. There are vast extensions, hundreds of thousands of leagues, that are still obtainable at prairie value. The poor settler can do nothing with these lands. He would starve on league of it if he had not gun to shoot birds. But the rich syndicate or private investor could, and many do, buy with a view to improvement. When this is done judiciously the re- suits are surprising.
 In this country stock is never housed Some animals preparing for the show, are raised in special paddocks but the animal raised for the butcher rarely sees the inside of building, or tastes anything but pasture grass. This out-of-door life saves expense and, doubtless, avoids some of the cattle diseases. The settler who pur- chased land forty years ago at prairie value and put it under alfalfa, is the , wealthy estanciero of today. Some of the big estancials have been handed down from father to son, but Argen- tine law governing succession is alto gether contrary to the maintenance of hereditary interest, for when the own CT dies there is generally a division of all ms estate among ms heirs.
 Drought Great Enemy.
 The great enemy or grazing and az riculture 1t drought and at present it is keenly felt in Corcoba, the princi- pal alfalfa province where it is com plicated by the locusts, a plague which has cost the republic millions to keep down. 1t is claimed that the depre- dations of the voracious insect are not so great as formerly, but just now it is admitted that the damages being caused are very great. The insects come from Bolivia, Brazil and Para quay. They return to their quarters in those countries after Argentine has spent much money killing a more or less negligible percentage of them and they return in clouds the follow ing season. In regard to drought the problem is no less complex. The re- public is so large, and the natural rainfall is so unequally distributed that the trouble is endemic in about nine-tenths of the total area. The various schemes of irrigation have cost enormous sums of money and

GROWTH OF THE
CITY auto trade
R. R. Banks, Pioneer Agent,
Reviews Progress of
the Business
GOES FROM SAW
MILL TO GARAGE

r. r. Banks unquostionably is the
pioneer automobile man in Delaware.
He entered the game when it was IN
its infancy. That was back in the
ninetios. In those days automobiling
was considered freakish and fool
hardy. 1t was subjected to much
harsh criticism. In speaking of his
experience in entering this business,
Mr. Banks related peculiar and anus
ing incidents. In addition, he gave
the history of the Wilmington Auto
mobile Company, of which he is, and
has been, since its organization, the
manager. That company has grown
step by step from a small concern TO
one of great prominence, stability and
magnitude. the equal of and surpass-
ing many of the larger cities.
The first Oldsmobile Mr.. Banks
sold was purchased by Eugene du-
pont. Mr. Banks then was operating
saw mill. One afternoon, after he
had booked the DUPONT order, he re-
ceived one from Joseph Bancroft, by
letter, and, in another half-hour, an
ether from Robert II. MegginsOn.
That was too much for Mr.. Banks TO
stand. He decided forthwith that his
automobile business was running fas-
ter than his sawmill business and
that it offered greater money-making
possibilities. He Immediately shut
down the saw mill, went to Philadel-
pEia where the distributors were To-
cated-the old Quaker City Auto Com
p8ny-and had the autos sent down
by the Wilson Line, as it is now
called He thea continued selling

MANY LIVES ARE SAVED
BY NEW FRENCH SERUM
Men Survive Desperate and Badly
Infected Wounds, Following
Its Application.

PARIS. August 11.-What are described
as remarkable cures Of wounded French
soldiers have been effected by tho new
polyvalent serum. discovery Of which
was announced last March. Complete re-
covery is announced of men who were
terribly mutilated and for whom all hope
had been given up before use Of the serum,
SO badly infected were their wounds.
Drs Leclainche and Vallee. the discov-
erers of the serum, have been unable up
TO the present to mako more than 1000
TASKS of it daily. most Of which goes to
the base hospitals, where the worst cases
are to be found. When 1t can be made in
sufiicient quantities to supply the firing
line. where it could be used preventively
as anti-tetanus serum is now used. 1t is
believed that thousands Of lives can be
saved.
The new serum, which may be roughly
described as a combination Of a number
of serums against different varieties of
bacteria, has been put to practical use
only recently. Experiments with it were
made previously in a Paris laboratory. 1t
was then used by DR.. Bergeron in the
Button Hospital and afterward more
widely distributed.

AMERICANS STRIVING
FOR ORDER IN HAITI
Part of Island Still Disturbed by
Revolutionists- Probably No
Election Tomorrow.

Gen. Auguste, at tho head of 200
troops, attacked st. Marc, Haiti. last
Saturday, and was repulsed by Hal
tian committee of safety. Rear Admiral
Caperton, in charge of the American
expeditionary force, reported today that
Gen. Auguste and four Of his follow
ers were killed. Admiral Caperton re-
ported uneasiness around Port au
Prince and Cape Haitien.
While the Haitian congress has been
summoned to meet tomorrow to elect a
president, it is believed here that the
country hardly will be sufficiently quiet
to make possible the immediate estab-
lishment of an orderly government.
Quiet Where Americans Control.
Dispatches from Rear Admiral Caper-
ton last evening said quiet prevailed in
all the territory under American con-
troll but reports from the interior and
press dispatches from Cape Haitien In
dicate much remains to be done before
order Is restored throughout the re-
public.
Resolve Bobo, leader of the successful
revolution, is now in Port au Prince. and
has assured American officials that he
will abide by the decision of the con-
gress. Most Of his troops have already
surrendered their arms to the American
forces and gone to their homes. A
force outside of Cape Hatien, however,
is still causing trouble. according to
unofficial reports. and has refused to
disarm.
From the interior the Navy Depart
ment received a report. dated August 8.
that rebels in the Grande Riviere region
were pillaging and burning plantations.
They charged that Bobo had deserted
them and refused to disarm.
A message dated August 9, apparently
from Port au Prince. said anonymous
proclamations were in circulation there
proposing the formation Of a provisional
government to revise the constitution,
and saying the purpose Of the Ameri-
can occupation was to secure the Mole,
the cession of which would be unconsti-
tutional.
