April to- tals have not been compiled.
 Shipments of high explosive shells and shrapnel are cross ing the Atlantienow at the rate of $1, 100000 worth daily and vessels are carrying half a mil lion dollars worth of powder day.
 Fire arms and cartridgesval- ued at more than $5,000,000 went to Europe during March.
 As the nations of Europe are determined to invest all the wealth they have in the busi- ness of wiping one another off the map, we are glad they are sending their money to Ameri- ca for the material todo it with.

President Mobley of the Ar kansas Farmers Uinon believes the farmers of Arkansas are making good progress along the line of Safe and Sane Farming" in recent address to a farmers meeting he said:
 Not only are the farmers be- ginning to raise more food and feed crops, but We have better gardens, having discovered that a garden ought to be something more than a place with a high fence around to keep the women folks in and the men folks out. The farmers are taking their mules inside and helping out their wives We are also beginning to raise more poultry. A man had rath

British Troops Advance,

London, July 10.-British troops have made a new advance northwest of Contamination, in the field of their offensive north of tht Somme, 1t was officially announced this afternoon Three additional guns and several hundred prisoners were captured.
 The British gain was scored by the capture of a small wooded district.
 Four towns to the possession o1 which the Teutonic allies have at- tached great importance. having made preparations to defend them on the largest scaleLStanislau, Kovel and Baranovichi on the eastern front, and Peronne in the west-are now coming within range of the guns of the en- tente allies and four great battles are expected.
 Of the advances or the allies, that of the Russians on the east, near Ko- vel, is the most striking. At the beginning of the drive, the Russian attack toward this town was directed along the railway from Rovno and Austro-German reinforcements were

PRESIDENT WARNS THOSE WHO SEEK TO ''BUTT N'
 TO END MEXICO TROUBLE

Detroit, Mich., July 10-President Wilson aroused great enthusiasm at the Worlds Salesmanship Congress to- day by urging that businessmen carry Justice and fair dealing into the ports of the world, particularly those of Mexico, and thereby establishing con- fidence in American principles.
 His efforts, he declared, will be to serve all America by serving Mexico herself for her best interests without using force and not to serve the few "gentlemen" who wish t3 exploit Mex ican possessions.
 When the President asksd the crowd what it desired at the end of all the present world troubles, it shouted Peace" in one voice and then he added that his wish was permanent peace"
 "I hear some men say," he said, "that they want to help Mexico and the way they propose to help her is to overwhelm her with force. That is the wrong way as well as the long way.
 After fighting them you would have a nation full of justified suspic- ion. Thus you would not help them. You would shut every door against you.
 What makes Mexico suspicious is that she thinks we do not want to serve but possess her. And she has justification for these suspicious in the way some gentlemen have sought to
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1916-07-10

exploit her possessions Il will not serve these gentlemen but will serve all Americans by try. ing to serve Mexico herself.
 "The way to establish our sovereinty is to respect hers"
 The President added that he be- lieved in the old Virginia bill of rights which declared that a country may do as it pleases with its own govern ment.
 This information, the President said was for those gentlemen who would "butt in."
 The President declared that the merchant marine, which some are SC slow in, giving us." will be a great help to the business interests of the United States.
 In order to gain foreign business however, he added, it will be neces- sary for American businessmen to adapt the goods to the demands oi other countries and not try to force their own ideas down other markets Salesmanship, he said, would go hand-in-hand with statesmanship after the close of the war. No more patriotic or enthusiastic reception has greeted the President re- gently than he received here. Thou sands of persons lined the streets through which he passed and when he entered the hall the entire audience arose and waved American flags.
