Motor Implements Reduce Flowing Cost
 On French Farms

Paris, July 8-The latest types of traction and motor farm implements experimented with az Gournay sur Marne under the direction of a repre- sentative of the Academy of Agricul- ture reduced the cost of blowing land more than twenty-five percent in comparison with the best previous rec ords
 Two and a half acres were plowed in light soil with an outlay of ten gall Ions of gasoline in four hours; be- tween thirteen and fourteen gallons were required for the same work with the most efficient machines tested last fall In heavy soil the difference in favor of the new implements was about the same.
 considerable on account of difficulties of fabrication in flying dust, but the results were so favorable in compari- son with animal power that the yer dict of the Academy of Agriculture is favorable to motor implements and a general extension of their use is rec commended.
 The greatest difficulty encountered is the scarcity of men to operate them, the rural population being lit- tie used to machinery. The Academy proposes the organization of training schools for conductors of traction and motor implements at once. since these machines must be relied upon to make up for the shortage in men and horses for fall seeding.

GRAND DUKE

Frederick IT., Grand Duke of the German state of Baden. will begin his sixtieth year on Sunday. The sov- ereign of Baden has not taken an ac- tive part in the war, but his subjects are famed as among the bravest or the Kaiser's troops. About year ago the war was carried to Baden by French airmen, who dropped bombs to the number of over hundred in various parts of Karlsruhe, the capi- tai of the duchy. One of the bombs struck the Grand Dukes palace. but Frederick had left for the front only the day before. The ruler of Baden is a brother of the Queen of Sweden, and, 1t is said, this relationship has been of great value in influencing the Swedish court to. side with Germany in the war. Frederick II. has occu- pied the throne of Baden for about nine years. He rules 5,S23 square miles of territory in the southwestern part of the empire, consisting of considerable portion of the eastern half of the fertile valley of the Rhine, and of the mountains which form its boundary. His subjects number oyer two millions-or did, before the war. Owing to their bravery. the Badeners have been placed in the forefront of battle. and have suffered tremendous losses. Small as is Baden, it's popu- lation is diverse in manners, language, and customs, those of the north be-
 ing descended from the Alemanni, while those of the south are of Frank ish origin, and the inhabitants of the Swabian plateau come from still an- other race. Baden Is largely an agri- cultural country, the soil in the val 1eys being the richest in the empire. There are several famous watering places in the Grand Dukes domin- ions. chief among these being Baden Baden. At the beginning of the last century Baden was only a margravi- ate. but since then it has acquired much additional territory. In the war of 1866 Baden fought against Prus- sia, but in 1870 1t joined the confed- eration which constituted the new German empire. Baden was repub- lie for a brief period in 1S49, but the revolution was quickly suppressed by the aid of Prussian troops.

A CENTURY OF
 ARGENTINE FREEDOM

North Americans will join with their neighbors of the South in ex- tending felicitations to the President and people of the Argentine Republic, which on this Sunday rounds out century of national existence. On May 25 1910, Argentina celebrated the hundredth anniversary of the be- ginning of it's revolt against Spanish rule. and all the world joined in the festivities held in Buenos Ayres in commemoration of that historic event. The plans for the observance of the centenary of the launching of the new nation have been somewhat interfered with by the European war, put in spite of these obstacles an impressive program has been prepared.
 The revolution in Argentina. led by the brave San Martin, Don Manuel Belgrano and Admiral Guillermo Brown, was completely successful, and the Spaniards were defeated both by land and sea. On the ninth of July in 1916 a constitutional assembly which convened at Tucuman, formally declared the independence of the "Provincies Unidas del Rio de la Plata the United Provinces of La Plata River The executive authority of the nation was vested in a supreme dicta- tor and Don Juan Martin de Pueyrre- don was elected to that position.
 The Argentina Republic, now one
