Petrograd, June 21-On the north
ern flank OF Gen. Brussiloff's front.
the Austrian resistance, considerably
stiffened by the arrival of a large
number of German reinforcements,
has succeeded in checking the Rus
sian drive between Lutsk and Kovel,
which, directed against Vladimir-Vo-
lynski. aims at destroying the Aus
trian communications between Kovel
and Lemberg. But in spite of the vio-
lent Austro-German counter attacks,
one of which broke through the Rus
sian lines, the latest reports are to
the effect that the Russians have
again resumed progress In this sector
after taking the usual toll of prison
ers.
On the southern flank the Austrl-
ans have been unable to check even
momentarily the Russian advance
toward Klomenea, and toward the
final Dniester fortification of Halieh.
Gen. Pflanzer, the Austrian command

TAMPA HARDWARE MAN
ASTOONOED At CROPS
Of Corn Witnessed in a Trip
Through Marion and Put
nam Counties.

W. S. Thomas of the Tampa Hard
ware Company while in Plant City this
week spoke to the people of that place
Of an auto trip he had just taken
through the state, and telegram
to the Ocala Banner tells of his OBJ
servations as follows:
"a man who has not been over the
State can form no conception of what
is being done in the way of develop
ment of Florida's possibilities so far
as agriculture is concerned" said he.
Mr.. Thomas stated that his timer
ary carried him up through the CEN
tral sections, along the east coast
in fact, pretty much over the penin-
sula and large part of the main
land. In fernando county, not far
from Hillsborough, he saw two hun
dred acres of rice under one fence.
This was enough to put one thinking,
but when the Tampa man reached Ma
rion county, one of the principal sta
| pie crop counties of the state, he had
his "eyes opened" sure enough, for
there he ran across a corn field a
thousand acres in extent. Of course,
this was one of the largest single
patches in that section, but the fact
that he was informed the yield would
be considered far too low if. it fell
below one hundred and forty bushels
to the acre, Mr.. Thomas began to re-
alize that there is something to Flori-
da's claims as an agricultural coun-
try. A little further on, over in Put
nam county, Mr.. Thomas came to an
other field of corn; it was not near
so large as the thousand acre patch,
but embraced upwards of two hundred
acres, and gave promise of at least
one hundred and fifty bushels to the
acre.
Several farmers in the vicinity of
Gainesville, in Alachua county, by fol-
lowing the rules laid down by the fed
eral government, have secured yields
of more than one hundred bushels to
the acre, and this without the use of
fertilizer.

President Barrett Speaks.

President Barrett of the National
Farmers Educational and Co-opera-
tive Union addressed a small assem-
bly, of Palatka business men and
farmers of the county at the court
house last Saturday afternoon.
His address was principally to
farmers, in which he poked them in
the ribs for not arousing themselves
and demanding their rights as citi-
zens. What the farmer needed was
cooperative effort; with this they
could get aything they demanded in
the way of rights. He didn't say it
in so many words, but he implied
that
The farmer is a doughhead
Who never will advance;
He licks the boots of freedom
And of wealth at every chance;
He votes the party ticket
And is wearing shoddy pants,
As he goes marching on.
What Mr.. Barrett wants is for the
farmer to organize and assert him.
self. The Union which he represents
was organized for Just such concert
ed effort il behalf of the farmer.
Mr.. Barrett is a forceful speaker
and held the close attention of his
audience throughout his address.

COUNCIL APPROPRIATES
FIVE HUNDRED DOLLARS
To Assist in Entertaining
Farmers Convention
Next Month.

At a recess meeting Of the city
council held on Wednesday night $500
was appropriated for the purpose of
entertaining the convention Of the
Farmers Educational and Co-opera-
tive Union of America which Is to
meet in Palatka late in November.
Mr.. M. z. Walsh of the Palatka
board Of trade appeared before the
meeting of the council on Tuesday
night and addressed the council on the
Importance of this matter. A COM
mlttee was appointed to confer with
the board of trade committee and a
conference of the two committees re-
suited in an agreement by the coun-
Gil committee to recommend the ap-
propriation.
The council is just now agitated
over the budget and matters affecting
it were discussed. Alderman Jar
rett, head of the finance committee is
worried; he don't want the city ex-
pense to run so high and he is trying
to effect the adoption of some econo-
MIXING measures. His committee
wanted little more time, and a re-
cess was taken until next Tuesday
night when it is expected his COM
mlttee will be ready with its final re-
port.
Alderman McNally has a scheme to
put an end to the further softening
of the city water, which he MAIN
tains is costing the city too much
money. Mr.. McNally submitted
some figures showing the cost of
maintainence Of the water works to
be greatly in excess of it's revenue
too great to make continuance of
the softening plant practicable or
possible.
But his figures were ridiculed as
unfair both by Aldermen Gay and
Jarret. And Mr.. McNally's resolu-
tion to discontinue the softening pro-
cess was voted down, or rather was
rejected substitute, to committee
for enquiry.
Mr.. McNally's financial showing
was suppressed by request of Alder
man Jarrett as misleading and pref
judicial.
The News has seen a copy Of the
financial showing presented by Alder
man McNally, and can bear out AL
derman Jarrett's contention, that it.
is misleading. Some of these items
to the debit of the water. works have
no more place there than they would
in statement showing the expense
of the publicity department of the To-
cal Cats Club, or as a contribution
from the Church of the Inaccurate
Deception to the cause, of foreign mis-
sions.
Alderman McNally in an interview
with The News said that he does not
want to ruin the old water works,
but that it is losing proposition and
he wants to cut out a large part of
the loss. He believes the softening
process now in vogue is costing too
much money and he favors getting a
high priced chemist on the ground to
point out if possible way of saving
money on treating the water. AL
German McNally uses the water and
tenants over whom he has supervis-
ion as manager of properties, are
using tin fact a big part of pri-
vate water takers who use the city
water are using it because of his
choice, and any intimation that he is
trying to injure the water works, is
to say the least far-fetched.

Major Glessner Still Active.

Most old residents will remember
Maj. w. l.. Glessner, for number
of years an active emigration agent
of the G. S. & F. R'y who some years
ago made frequent visits to this city,
and they will be pleased to learn that
he is still an active force in the up
building of the South with special en-
phasis on Georgia, his home State.
The following notice of him is clipped
from the Early County (Ga,) News of
last week:
"Major W. L. Glessner has accept
ed the position of special representa-
tive of the Southern Ruralist, of At
lanta, the leading agricultural journal
of the South. He will attend and
write up the agricultural fairs and
other important agricultural gather
ings in the South, investigate and re-
port on special agricultural conditions
and enterprises. Major Glessner is
thoroughly familiar with the work he
has undertaken, by past experience,
having been trained in the newspaper
work and later in industrial promo
ton. The News congratultes the
Ruralist upon obtaining his services,
and is glad to know that the Early
County Fair will be among those ham
died by him."

A Man Without a Party.

Mr.. c. A. LeHardy has severed his
relations with the Socialist party in
Putnam county. He, also told The
News that at the meeting next month
of the Socialist State Committee, of
which he is a member, he would with
draw from membership in the COM
mittee.
Mr.. LeHardy says he is withdraw
ing from socialism, and that until the
books are reopened for registration in
the next primary he will be man
without a party. At that registra-
ton he will declare himself. LeHar-
DIV is a democrat-he couldn't be any
thing else long if he tried. His
principles are all democratic-a little
in advance of party pronouncements,
perhaps. but still democratic in that
he believes implicitly in the rule of
the people. -,
It is understood also that Hon.
Madison has withdrawn from the To-
cal social organization, though it is
not known whether or not, like Mr..
LeHardy, he proposes to cut away
from political affiliation with them al
together.
With these men, the brains of the
organization gone, socialism in Palat-
ka finds itself at a low ebb. Mr.:
Loomis is still on the old ship and
one or two others of even lesser i'm
prtance.
