BINDER Irvine TO
COST FARMERS Of
THE COUNTY MORE
will HAVE TO PAY THREE
GENTS A POUND ADVANCE
THIS SUMMER.
MEANS A SNUG SUM OF MONEY
Monopoly Of the sisal Fibre Produsts
OF Mexico and Central America
Responsible for the Increase In the
Price.

Farmers Of Maury county win have
to pay three cents and probably
more, according to present indicar
tions. for their binder twine at har-
vest time than they paid last year.
At this time dealers In sisal pro-
ducts are paying three cents a pound
more by the wholesale than they
paid year ago.
If this forecast should prove &C.
curate binder Irvine will cost the
grain growers of Maury county not
less than thirteen cents and prob
ably fifteen cents per pound, de-
pending upon the amount that IL
purchased
Irvine was slightly lower last year
than 1t was the year before due to
war conditions, the twine costing
around ten cents to buyers from Co.
lumbia merchants, as compared
with ten and a half cents the year
before.
The increase is due to a monopoly
of the issal fibre products of Mexico
One concern has virtual monopoly
Of the entire output of the province
where it is extensively grown and
are in consequence making just any
sort of price that suits its fancy.
The increase, while seemingly
slight, will cost the farmers Of
Maury county a snug sum Of money
especially If the wheat crop should
approach in size that of the record
crop Of two years ago.

A Weekly Review
OF The Great War

the three buffer states first in

In France and the Ser bians in
Albania are continuing the fight,

evitable. Montenegro is sur
rounded on three sides by the
Austrians and OH the fourth side
are the Albanians, hardly less
hostile to the Moptenegrins.
The conquest of Montenegro is
an important victory tor Austria,
not because it adds much to her
territory or relieves her of a
dangerous foe. for Montenegro is
both small and weak; but be-
cause it puts Austria in secure
possession of the bay Of Cattaro.
the Gibraltar of the Adriatic." :"
so long as this port was domina-
ted by guns on Mount Lovcen
the austrian warships were not
safe here. In fact in October,
they were driven out of the in
ner basin, the Gulf of Cattaro,
as well as the middle basin,
Teodo Bay, by the fou- guns of
Al inch caliber which the
French marines stationed on
Mount Lovcen. If the French
had carried out their plan of
mounting 6-inch guns on the
summit, the Austrian shipping
would have been swept from the
outer harbor and the forts about
the bay reduced. The concrete
foundations had already been
laid when in May, 1915, Italy EN-.
tered the war and undertook the
defense Of the Ad. iatic.
(. But the Italian navy failed to
guard the. months of Cattaro as
closely as the French and Brit
ish had done previously, so the
Austrian submarines have got
out and have been raiding Medi-
teranean commerce with impuni-
ty. The Italians also failed to
keep their promises to send
troops and heayey guns to de-
fend Mount Lovcen, although
they have been free to cross the
Adriatic any time during the
last seven months. SO it seems
as if Nicholas had lost his king
dom through the neglect of his
son.in-law, the King of Italy.
In reality the fatal delay was
doubtless due to a difference of
opinion among the Italian au-
thorities as to the conduct of
war, some of them being strong
ly opposed to any participation
In the Balkans. Recently, how
ever, it was decided to enter up.
