IMPoRTATloN OF AMERICAN
 CATTLE INTO ARGENTINA
Will Break MnoopoIy British Breeders
 Have Hitherto Enjoyed.

Buenos Aires. Sept. 30.-The removal of the interdict upon the importation of American cattle into Argentina opens to American breeders a most promising market that has been mon opoIized by British breeders hereto fore. Already some of the Argentine estancieros, as the owners of great ranches are called, have taken inter est in the possibilities of the new con- ditions,, and as pioneer in the trade, most prominent of the Argentine ranchInen, has gone to the United States to select bulls and other blood ed stock for his vast estates.
 In view of the phenomenal advance in the, prices for livestock in the Ar genuine and the probability that they may reach still greater heights, par ticuIarIy if the European war con tinues it is assumed that the estan- cieros who seek cattle in tho United States will be prepared to pay well for choice stock.
 The cattle chow lat Palermo, which is an annual fixture and which is con- sidered an economic barometer of prosperity in the republic has just closed with results that are far more encouraging than could have been ez- pected. It made plain the fact that in whatever other W6Iy-S tue country sT1IEAC be suffering depression, it's basic in- dustrs-cattle grazing-prospers as never before.
 The Argentine has suffered trade disturbance as a result os the war, and during the past tWn years the country has been passing through what is called here a crisis Of rio- gress"-the result Of lavish. expendi ture of borrowed capital in national and provincial. public works. But in the face of these adverse conditions, there is. the outstanding significant fact that a single champion Durham bull, for instance. has just sold at auc- ton for ssO.000 paper Gthe Argentine paper dollar being equivalent to about 42 cents gold.)
 The average prices at the Palermo show established many records. The favorite breed of the Argentine is now the Durham shorthcrn. of which 200 bulls, making up the first lot put up at the auction, brought total of S1,140,0 GOO paper, or an average of S5,700 a head (about $2.515 American. gold). And this does not include a six per cent commission which, in this country, is paid by the purchaser.
 The Hereford has, it appears, de- clined in favor, the champion bull of that breed being sold for $12,000 pa- per-only fifth of the price paid for the champion Durham.
 The polled Angus. which was deem ed the coming breed few years ago, was in such little favor at Palermo that it was difficult to find a bidder. The champion of this class went for

Wednesdays Fire Suggests Possible Emeraeneies-Driftins Buoy Re- pIaced-FootbaII Game Saturday.

The fire Wednesday. afternoon. when the house and barn of John S. Palmer on the east side of Stonington harbor, and far removed from the boundary of the borough lire district. were totally destroyed. has caused some people in Stonington to ponder the preparedness of the borough in the event of a seri- ous fire. when the aid of Ire apparatus from other places would be called to assist the efficient local department. of any service. under present ,condi- ton. except pumping machines of the Mystic and New London type, or steam fire engines that did not depend upon hydrant service for water supply.
 Away back in the early days of the Stonington fire department, perhaps not in It's earliest days, the department was probably equipped with hose and hydrants that were considered the standard thread, standard to the ex- tent of being of the same size used in other departments, and perhaps was of the standard at that time. Since that early time a real standard has been established and the hose and hydrapt thread of the Stoningtou department is not of this new standard. and there fore aiding companies in the event of Are could not make connections with hydrants or hose such as are in vogue in Stonington. The diameter of the Stonington hose is about sixteenth of an inch smaller that the established standard thread, and therefore the con- nections would be forced apart by the water pressure. if used with standard thread hose of larger diameter.
 This is a condition that can be easi- ly remedied and at no great expense to the borough. All that would be re- Quired to make the change necessary in the emergency when out of town fire companies are called to assist would be to have a few spare butts, of calibre to it the Stonington- hy- drants and hose on one end. with thread to correspond with the equlp- ment of aiding departments on the other end. Simply the expenditure of few dollars It is understood. that Chief Engineer Teed has recently made discovery of this difference in thread and Is planning to meet any emergency that may arise.
 The same standard of thread is used In New London. Groton, Noank, Mys- tic. Westerly. Norwich and Willimantic departments, just the places to which Stonington would call for aid if re- quired.

Uncle Harry was nodding his head
and thus approving Joe's answer.
1T isn't a record in bread-that is,

grain from which bread and other
kinds Of food are made. The wheat
crop in the United States this year
will amount to over one billion

all the farmers in the United States

That's correct" said Uncle Harry,
"and the corn crop and all the other
grain crops will be bigger this fall

How did you learn that?' asked
Joe. and then he added: Il don't see
how anybody could count up all the
