fortune IN two years as financial
agent for the allies, has nothing on
the Iowa farmers whose corn crop
this year will be worth $52.320,000
more. this year than last, according
to the estimate Of experts based on
the federal crop report.
Tnis means at least 100000 autos

as against paltry 175,OO0 this year,
only one to every thirteen people. 1t

porous Iowa farmers and electric
washers and fiat irons for the farm

Hot winds and rust have injured
the wheat crop in the north and corn
in southern states has suffered, but
Iowa with 3o3,O00,O0O bushels of corn
last year has in prospect 365,00O,000
bushels this year and the selling
price now is 73 cents as against II
in 1915.
Wheat and oats show falling off,
but the advance in price promises to
make up for it and cattle and hogs
with high priced corn are expected
to advance.

LONDON, Aug. 10.-Russian troops
under General Letchitzky, were ap-
preaching the Bistritza river, only
three miles east of the Galician city
OF Stanislau, yesterday morning, ac-
cording to dispatches from Petrograd
today.
The Austro- Germans were expected
to make final stand on the west
bank OF the Bistritza. If they are
driven from these positions by the ad-
vancing Slavs, the fall of Stanislau
and an AustroGerman retirement
northward to the Dniester is consid-
cred certain It is barely possible
that Stanislau already has been cap
tured by the troops Of the czar, Off
cials believe.
If Stanislau does fall to the Rus
SLAMS, the retreating right wing of
General Won Bothmer's army is ex-
pected to take up positions behind the
strongly fortified Dniester river
bridgehead north of Halitz. At this
position the decisive battle for Lem
berg may be fought.
Delayed dispatches from Bucharest
today reported that the Roumanian
war party, favoring action on the side
of the allies, has been stirred to great
action by Russia's unexpected stroke
IN southeastern Galicia and the sur
prising victory of the Italians on the
Isonzo. Pro-ally demonstrations fol
lowed news of the Russian success
against the Austro-Germans and the
early Italian gains on the Isonzo.
News of the fall Of Goritz had not
reached Bucharest when the dis
patches were filed.
Alleged acts of aggression by Bull
garian soldiers along the Roumanian
frontier have heightened the ill-feel-
ing against the central powers. The
situation became so tense that spe-
cial cabinet meeting was held this
week
A dispatch from Amsterdam today
asserted Germany again is uneasy ov-
er the Balkan situation. though salts
fed that Roumania will take no i'm
mediate action. The chief concern In
Berlin is that the allies will begin a
great offensive from Salonika while
the Russians are closing in upon Lem
berg and the Italians driving south
ward toward Trieste, convincing the
that the hour has come

BUFNOS AIRES, Aug. 10.-North
and South America have been drawn
measurably closer together by the
reduction in postal and cable rates
and the signing of contracts by the
United Press and the influential
newspaper La Nacion for the first
comprehensive news service between
the two continents. DR.. Jose Luis
Surature, foreign minister of Argen-
tine, and foremost journalist, declared
today.
Not only have the two continents
been linked up more closely as
geographical units, DR.. Murature
pointed out, but their peoples will be
brought into closer sympathy.
"a giant stride by North and South
America toward Pan-Americanism,'
was the comment made by the Argen-
tine foreign minister on this triple
accomplishment of the last few days.
"It is matter not merely OF exped-
iency, but based on historical and
geographical actualties.
THE date on which this collective
action will be mobilized in the serv-
ice Of common ideals and interests
will be determined by the speed with
which the masses grasp the. reasons
and advantages, which are INSOFAR
able from Pan-American functioning.
'No development will so quickly
promote a genuine sympathetic un-
derstanding as the Interchange OF
news through such medium as the
United Press"
DR.. Murature expressed the belief
that the exchange of news between
the United Press and La Nacion in
particular will promote among the
masses of South America a more
sympathetic understanding Of the
action of the United States toward
Mexico than exists now anywhere ex
cept in government circles.
al personally consider that the
United States is offering most posi-
tive evidence that its Mexican policy
is shaped by Pan-American ideals.
said the foreign minister. "The high
est respect constantly shown the
sovereignty of Mexico and the con,
sideration demonstrated for her In
dependence, is evidence of the sin
cerity of the American purpose.
Business and government circles
are most keenly interested both IN
the cable and postal rate reduction
and in the arrangement for inter
change OF news. Several prominent
business men pointed out that such
an exchange OF news between the
two continents as is provided by the
United Press-La Nacion contract, is
of necessity the first step in drawing
North and South America into closer
relations.

Cooperative Cattle-Rearing
Societies

Collaborating is the chief source Of
profit of Swiss agriculture. 1t has been also
at all times the subject of the greatest at
tention. not only on the part of stock breed
ers but also on that of the state, and nu-
rnerous measures have been taken by both
in order to promote this. industry which IS
as important to agriculture as to social
economy. AS the small holding is the most
usual type of land tenure In Switzerland, It
was soon found necessary to form breed
ers' associations whose principal object
was the improvement of cattle. These as
sociations have just been the subject OF
detailed article, written by NJ. Joseph Frey,
director of the Swiss Federation for the
Rearing of Cattle of the Brown Swiss
Breed. Lucerne. The paper is published in
the number for January, 1916, OF the Inter
national Review of Agricultural Econom-
les formerly the Monthly Bulletin of Eco
nomic and Social intelligence published
BY the International Institute of Agricul-
ture
According to NJ Frey the Swiss Coop
erative Cattle-Rearing Societies have now
reached he number of $50, not including
the societies which limit their activities to
the purchase and maintenance of bulls for
DTeeQlHS purposes. L Hc oWleS CdlllC-lC dl-
ing societies have as their aims, on the
other hand, the choice of excellent bulls for
breeding and the securing of their proper
maintenance; the selection and making of
the best cows for breeding breeding cows
and heiffers) the securing of the system
attic treatment of animals used for breed
ing and the suitable rearing of their pro-
duce; the regular keeping of records giving
reliable data as to the pedigree of the ami
mails; making researches into their capac-
ity of production; arranging for the trans
port of animals; playing the part of inter
mediary in the sale of breeding cattle; and
protecting generally the interests of this
industry, as well as instructing the mem
bers of the cooperative society regarding
questions dealing with cattle-breeding and
rearing.

Merchants Should Trade
At Home

In the organization of the Merchants
Protective Committee, Pensacola has Sc
cured an association long needed Tor the
protection of its business men. But when
the merchants and others learn to consider
the interests of home before everything
else, they will protect themselves from the
advertising sharper, as nothing else can
protect them.
The Pensacola merchants have made
fight, and it has been a necessary one,
against out-of-town trading, but these
same merchants do not seem to recognize.
the fact that they should take their own
lessons to heart, and trade at home.
How many Pensacola merchants buy
their business stationery in Pensacola?
How many have their printing done at
home? How many confine their adyertis-
ing to the newspapers?
The newspapers work and boost con-
stantly for every movement in which the
merchants are interested and which is for
the good of the town, but the merchants
and various organizations which profit
through this free publicity do not always
appreciate it, by any means.
The Merchants Protective Committee
and others who have been stung by out-of-
town sharpers pretending to furnish me-
dunn for advertising should have taken to
themselves the lesson they have endeav-
ored to inculcate in others, and have spent
their money with the newspapers, which
are making an effort to build up the city.
In this way they would have kept money
in the city and at the same time would have
lent their assistance to home enterprise.
