Traders Fearful of Heaw
Liquidation-New Revolt in
Mexico Affects.

NEW YORK. June 29.-Yesterday's
sharp decline in foreign exchange hav-
ing developed among traders the fear
that heavy liquidation in international
stocks might ensue, held the market
In check today. This feeling. coupled
with further drop In Canadian Pacific,
caused general decline in prices In
both the railroad issues and the indus:
trial group.
Canadian Pacific, which has been
reacting sharply each day for more
than week, today sold off three full.
points before noon, to 143h, or the low
est point which it has touched since
1908. when It was traded in at 140. It
later rallied slightly. The weakness of
the stock is attributable to uneasiness
among investors over dividend action.
many believing that the 10 per cent
rate will not be maintained.
Aside from Canadian the other high.
priced raiiers displayed stubborn
strength and measured their losses gen.
orally in fractions. The low priced
stocks, however. were freely sold Mis-
sourl Pacific was weak In anticipation
of the announcement by the directors
late today of friendly reorganization
! plan calling for heavy stock assess
ment. and dropped to 6% in the early
points. at l5h. and Southern Railway at
one time in the day touched 15+. a de-
cline of a full point from yesterdays
, last figure.
Announcement Of the launching Of a
new revolution in Mexico reflected It's
effect through a decline in the price Of
stocks of companies having holdings
In the southern republic. American
Smelling and Refining, recently one of
the strongest issues in the list lost IN
points by selling at 70.
The other metal stocks which yes
| terday were quite strong today lacked
| bouyancy. Practically the entire cop
per group recorded large fractional
losses. and National Lead was down
III points at 6314.
The exceptions to the general trend
were Crucible Steel. Goodrich Company
and General Motors stocks. The latter
| advanced during the first hour 311 points
| to 159. but later eased of.

M o ton Pictures t.
Be Utilized In
Good Roads
Campaign

Teaching farmers to farm by mo-
ton pictures is one of the ways In
which the activities of the Depart
ment of Agriculture expects to
manifest itself shortly. While 1t is
not generally known, the depart
ment maintains one OF the largest
motion picture establishments in
this section, of the country, ana
within the past year 1t has made
thousands of feet OF film on all
sorts of subjects relating to the
business under the department o
management. Some of the hlms
deal with farming. but many or
them have to do with roadmaking
and forestry.
The road-making films are among
the most important. from the de-
partmeht's point OF view, in the
work of education that 1t intends
country. 1t Is well known that the
oad-making division or bureau OF
The. Department of Agriculture has
been doing educational work tor
some years. 1t has sought to i'm
press on the farmer the import
ance of good roads to him as a
business asset.
Exhibits of good and bad roads
have been incorporated in most of
the so-called land shows that are
50 popular in the cities of the Mid
die West. These have mostly been
onder the charge Of department
agents. Experiments in road-maK-
Ing have been tried in all sections
OF the country under departmental
management, and much success has
been attained.
1t is now to he the endeavor to
utilize motion pictures In a wider
field than heretofore some pictures
having already been used In the good
roads campaign. The Idea now is to
carry these pictures to all sections
Of the country and exhibit them to
the farmers and county officials re-
sponsible for the roads. The problem
has been to secure proper power to
work the motion pictue machines.
Automobile clubs and manufactur-
ers throughout the country have
been cooperating with the depart
mont in the good roads work. and
they are also cooperating in the
work of finding some sort of a wagon
or automobile truck that can be used
to cary the pictures and furnish
power for the exhibitions also.
OF course. this is not the only
avenue of usefulness for the pic
lures. The work Of the Bureaus of
Animal Industry and Of Plant Indus
try, Of the Bureau of Chemistry, the
Bureau of Forestry-in fact, in Drac-
tically every one Of the big depart
ment's many sided field of useful
ness-the pictures are to play an i'm
portant part. In an excellent article

JUMP TO VAST QUANTITY
More Than Fourth OF $A,476,.
1888 Explosives For Year
Went In June.

Washington. Aug. 2S.-That a
great part of Europe's enormous or
ders for arms and ammunition did
not begin to move from the United
States until comparatively recently
was indicated by export figures issu-
ed to-day by the Department of

the twelve months ending with June,
show that while exports of war sup
plies increased tremendously over

of the increase. in some cases from
one-ffth to one-third of the entire
years exports, left the United States
in June.
The twelye-months period showed
exports of explosives valued at $41,-

Proposed BY Good Roads
Association.
ROCKPORT MEETING SATURDAY
When Big Crowd Is Expected
To Join In Worthy
Movement.
"suPoNT HIGHWAY" PROJECTED

The next meeting of the Ohio
county Good Roads Association will
occur at Rockport next Saturday.
September 4. 1t is hoped that 1t will
be one of the best meetings yet held.
The importance of its mission should
interest every citizen of Ohio county.
Every meeting should be large
ly attended. for this encourages the
work.
The latest movement Of the As
ISOLATION is that a highway be es-
tablished from Beaver Dam to Gen.
trail City by the way of McHenry,
Simmons. Rockport, Martwick and
Nelson. This highway, If built. to be
called the DUPONT Highway" The
plans are that this road be built
aleng practical lines, that is, accord
ing TO the surveys made by pratical
engineers. The Association has the
promise of the civil engineer who
is employed by the Taylor Coal Co..
also one from Beaver Dam, witho It
charge. and they hope to be assisted
by the engineers of other Coal Com
panies along the line, with the end
in view of locating this Highway on
the best possible and most available
road bed and when completed, give
US connection with the Dixie Bee
Line which is in prospect through
Muhlenberg county.
If they can secure the necessary
~co-operation along this line. it is the
feeling Of the Ohio County Good
Roads Association to inaugurate a
Good Roads Day" and ask the CO.
operation of everyone along the line
to close their places of business and
solicit their employees and neigh
bors to come out on this special date
and build this Highway. The business
men and merchants of McHenry and
Beaver Dam have agreed already to
lend hand in this movement. Know
ing the enthusiasm of Mr.. DUPONT
along the line of good roads, it is
felt that the Association will have his
cooperation, as IL will have the help
of the coal mine companies of the
county.
II is hopeful that the meeting Sat
urday will be we'll attended by a
large delegation from the south
side of Green river in the interest of
this road, also by the people of the
county in general.
