FRENCH AND BRITISH STILL GAINING
IF GRAIN |S NOW
 PLANNED

VIENNA, July 10. - After lengthy conferences between the ministers of the interior and of agriculture for both Austria and Hungary, a system for the equable distribution of grain of all sorts throughout the monarchy for the year 1916-1917, beginning Aug ust 1, has been settled upon. It will differ from last years method, and will be accompanied by a rise in prices.
 Under the new plan the distribution will be direct, and under no circum- stances through associations, guilds or other bodies that in the past have been the equivalent of middlemen. The war grain association for the em- pire will be the only organization en- titled to give mills orders on storage houses for the grain, and. when the grain has been milled, it must be turned over to the individual munich palities for distribution equably among the people.
 The rise in prices that in prospect promises to be due to the mills rather than to the crops, which are far bet ter than last year, if not record break ing all around. The mills in Austria Hungary want, this year, six kronen instead of 4.2O as last year for milling the same quantity of grain, and will get it unless the protests of the cit ies are made effective.
 Reports from all over Austria-Hun- gary. especially along the lower Da- nube. and from Bulgaria and Rouma- nia. indicate that there will be a bum Der crop In sharp contrast to last year, the weather has been almost ideal. with about the right proportion of sunshine and rain, and with little or no late frost to nip early planting. The same conditions, according to re- ports, prevail in Germany, which this year will not only have a big crop on her own territory but also will har- vest an untold amount from the land in occupied regions - territory either that she did not occupy a year ago. or that was taken too late for culti- vation and planting.
 Experts here believe that the cen tral powers will be almost the only countries now at war to benefit from this years crops, this because of the loss of territory on the one hand, and the lack of workmen and laborers on the other. The crops in certain parts of Russia it is claimed are about 80 per cent behind normal, while France and England, which never did raise enough for themselves, will be at disadvantage in importing a suffi- cient quantity by reason of the grow ing scarcity of tonnage and the high freight and insurance rates.

.RE AL ESTATE |S BEGINNING TO
 MOVE

The real estate market in Cordova today is more active and there is more building going on and in contempla- tion than at any period for the past several years.

RED WOOD TREES OLDEST LIVE:
 THINGS

SAN FRANCISCO, July 8. - The great red wood trees of California are said, in an annual report of the Cali fornia Red Wood Association, to be the oldest living things in the world. Therefore, it is surmised that had Noah taken his cruise in the Ark in the vicinity of California he could have moored his craft to one of the trees, awaiting the waters to subside, both because of it's age and enor- nous height.
 The fact that the red wood tree is so ancient has been unearthed by re- cent scientific researches, which as- certains that General Sherman" ill the Sequoia National Park, is approXi- mately ten thousand years old. It might thus have been this tree to serve as the hitching post for the Ark.
 It is stated that these trees cOnfine their growth to the present littoral of California, but that the older and larger species mark what was once the coast line of the Sierra Nevada mountain range. Those trees began their growth before the record of man began, it is estimated by the scien- tistS

DE ATH RATE |S LESSENED IN
 NEW YORK

NEW YORK, July 10. - The total number of deaths resulting from in fantile paralysis during the epidemic which is now raging in New York to- day reached 23S, fourteen of which occurred during the past twenty-four hours. One hundred and three new cases have been reported to the board of health, but the medical men are encouraged over the fact that the death rate seems to be falling.
 One reason advanced for the les sened rate is the fact that so many people with children have fled to the country, and thus removed their children from the infected area.

HARRY ADVANCES FROM CELLAR
 TO LEAD

Over Sunday the boys made things hum, and every one of the contest ants, with the exception of John Ross wog, who jumped to the lead Saturday with 1000 votes, show an increase over their previous votes.
 Harry O'Neil made a big jump from the bottom to the top with clear gain of 2,O0O votes, which places him in the lead with 2,O5O. Sam Hedges, by some tall hustling, managed to squeeze ahead of Johnny by 20 votes, and is now second with 1925. This places the leader of/Saturday in third place.
 Elwell Thawley is a consistent vote getter, and each day manages to show few votes. George Wilson now is occupying the cellar, but expresses the conviction that he will not remain there long.
 Edwin Bollinger today made his en- try into the race with a bunch of 300 votes. He is inclined to believe that the rest of the boys will have to hustle once he gets his stride.
 All the boys are confident of uiti' mate success. None of them are dis couraged over the fact that the lead CTS are quite a distance ahead, but each boy seems to have something in reserve which he proposes to call up on as a last resort.

OF TRADE SCHOOLS

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, July H.
The first intensive investigation Of
social and economic conditions OF
graduates from public trade schools
ever made in the United States will
be made here under the direction Of
Charles H. Winslow, vocational ed
ucation expert in the employ of the
state.
His plan is to investigate the record
and present positions OF the graduates
and use data to determine whether
the graduates of trade schools have
made as much progress in life as the
graduates of the academic schools.
His report will be presented to the
National Vocational Educational asso-
citation and will form the basis of
nationwide action by that body in
making its recommendations on the
preparation Of students for their life
work in the high school instead of in
college.

WHY men
Chew TOBACCO
It's the Only Way That Real Tobacco
Hunger Can Be Entirely
Satisfied
"oLD KENTUCKY" IDEAL CHEW

Since tobacco was first introduced to
civilization, nobody has ever discovered
SO Supremacy satisfactory way to get
all the flavor and enjoyment out of it
as chewing it. And no other form Of
chew can give you the hearty, whole
sore, juicy zavor that you get
from a delicious high-grade Plug tobac-
co like Old Kentucky.
The secret of the greatest chewing
satisfaction lies in the selection Of your
chew. Among plug tobaccos the brand
that gets the most enthusiastic en-
dorsement is undoubtedly Old Ken
lucky. The reason for this is not hard
to find.
Old Kentucky is made exclusively of
ripe Kentucky Burley-thc most richly
favored chewing tobacco that grows.
Still more, only the very choicest of
all the Burley leaf is used for Old
Kentucky.
This choice leaf is selected with the
most painstaking care, is stemmed BY
hand, is thoroughly washed free of all
foreign matter and is pressed into
plugs SO slowly that not a drop of
juice or an atom of favor escapes.
Moreover, Old Kentucky is made under
the most rigid, clean1y and sanitary
conditions.
The result is sweet, mellow, lus-
cious satisfying chew that cannot be
obtained in any other tobacco than Old
Kentucky.
Try loc pocket plug to-day.

PREDICT
MONEY PAN|CS

BERNIE, July 1.-THE "Bund" pub
fishes an article written by one Of the
foremost bankers Of Switzerland In
which the financial collapse Of Ger
many is predicted.
The German methods Of financing
the war have been unsound from the
start" this expert says. When the
conflict began the Germans did not
believe that 1t would last longer than
q year and they hoped that one or
two popular loans and an initiation Of
the currency would furnish all neces-
sary funds. But they have already
been compelled to raise four loans
and the fifth one is under way. They
may be able to fill their war chest
once more, but the new credit of ST..
000.000,000 voted by the Reichstag will
only reach till January or February of
next year, because a large part Of
the money has to be used to pay the
interest Of the former loans.
"A sixth loan cannot be raised and
a further initiation OF the currency is
impossible. Before next Spring Ger
many must break down financially and
then the war will end, if it is not de-
cided before by decisive victory of
the Allies"

but the order for Richmond makes an
exception on fire lines which is not
true in the Terre Haute case.
Information from Terre Haute
water users says that permission to
combine has made monthly increase
in the total amount paid in.
In some instances it mas been
found that the total bill to be paid
monthly would be less. AS they are
permitted to. make a combination
under the rule, the water consumed
exceeded the total minimum charges,
while in Richmond under this excep-
ton they are compelled to pay this
large increase unless they are per-
mitted to use the service for both
purposes.
The letter calls attention to another
matter The commission makes a
minimum charge for meter service OF
nifty cents month for openings less
than one inch in diameter and seventy
five cents per month for one inch.
This covers the service lines tina,
supply the residence properties which
means the minimum water consump-
ton must be fifty cents per month
of Sc year
Then in the order it states that all
rates, tolls, charges. ETC., not speci.
flcally modified by the order shall re-
main in effect. If this is literally con.
strued, the company would continue
to collect the 81 per year meter rental
in addition to the minimum water
charge as this order was not re-
scinded.
This would bring the minimum
cost up to IS year which is ex-
cessive," the letter explains.
