GREAT WAR GAME TO
 START OFF NEWPORT

Newport, R. l., Aug. 19-The first great war game of the year will start off Newport tomorrow. The entire Atlantic reserve fleet will be brought into play, besides the active fleet, comprising battleships, destroyers, mine layers, submarines and fleet train.
 Because of a reduced complement of officers and men, the reserve ships will have to run under a lower speed than in war time, and the up-to-date ships in the fleet will lower their speed accordingly to make the prob lem theoretically complete.
 The reserve fleet, in command of Rear Admiral J, M. Helm, with the destroyer fotilla, will defend the ap- proach to the vital parts of the coast from an attack by the present At lantic fleet with the submarines as auXiliaries.
 Rear Admiral Austin NJ. Knight will cat as umpire on the new super dreadnaught Pennsylvania, and par ticular stress will be laid upon the value of battle cruisers as an attack ing force against slower but heavier armored defending squadron.

HEAVY SEEDING.

Eugene V. Grubb who is always up
.to-date on agricultural matters sug-
gests that farmers of this state do
not use enough seed in grain plant
ing. From personal investigations
Mr.. Grubb found that in Europe the
aim is to SOW the seed SO thick that
it cannot stool. Seed is regarded al
cheaper than stools. Experience has
brought European farmers to this
that fewer stocks with
more roots is better than more stocks
with fewer roots. In Europe it j.
customary to sow from three to foul
bushels of wheat and from four tt
five bushels of oats per acre. He j!
inclined to the belief that heavy seed
ing as early in the summer as pos
sible would make fall wheat GROWN,
N this state far more profitable tina,
growing spring wheat. The expert
ment might be well worth trying OIL
both fall and spring wheat. 1t nigh
prove that fall wheat seeded heavil.
on forage pea stubble as soon as pos
iible after the peas are cut woul,
De quite a profitable crop.

OPENING SHOT IN
AUTO TAX FIGHT

An indication of the line of fight to
oe made against the proposed federal
TAX on automobiles is presented in
the following from an article sent out
from Washington by the American
Automobile association:
Contributing in so-called registra-
tion ta--es over S2o,000,000 yearly to
The up..~ep of the nations roads dis
eliminated against in that horse
drawn vehicles are neither tagged nor
taxed nor restricted in crossing and
recrossing state lines, automobile own
ars are not receiving with any vast,
enthusiasm the proposal that they
shall pay again substantially in the
cost of war preparedness.
What may accentuate this dissent
from once more being singled out is
that in many states owners now pay
three taxes: for registration of the
car, operating license for its driving,
and also under the head of personal
property. In Mississippi and Ohio the
StaCe supreme courts decided that IT
was unconstitutional to tax an auto
mobile owner for registration in ex-
cess Of the clerical cost of issuing of
the Identification number, as he was
already paying under the head of
personal property. New Jerseys
courts decided that more than one tax
could be imposed, and other state
courts have ruled variously. Because
Of the conflicting opinions, the Ameri-
can Automobile association carride the
New Jersey case to the United
States supreme court and ruling is
Lexpected in the next few months.
I Communications by post and wire
from clubs and individuals to the ma
tional headquarters of the American
Automobile association in Washington
indicate practically unanimous in
clination to protest emphatically
against this latest effort to single out
the motorist as a special road user
and disregard the thousands of horse
drawn vehicles"

EXPORTS TO SOUTH
AMERICA REDUCED

Altho exports to South America
during the ten months ended October
1915, We're S36,0O0,000 greater than
for the first ten months of 1914, both
periods under the Democratic tariff
law, yet they were $S,000,000 less
than for the first ten months of 1913,
nine months of which was under the
Republican tariff law, despite the fact
that European markets We're largely
cut off, thus causing the South
American republics to look to us to
supply deficiencies.
On the other hand, imports from
South America for the first ten
months of 1915 were S66,OO0,O0O
greater than for the first ten months
of 1914, both periods under Demo-
cratic tariff, and slO6,OO0,oOO great
er for the first ten months of 1915
than for the first ten months of 1919,
under Republican tariff.
The balance of trade against us
ior the first ten months of 1918, Re-
publican law, was $3o,oo0,OO0. Fer
the first ten months of 1914 it was
$ll3,500,000, and for the first ten
months of 1915 it rose to $143,O0O,-
900.
Secretary Redfield and his under
strudy, DR.. Pratt, of the bureau of
foreign and domestic commerce. have
been entertaining the public for the
past few months with accounts OF
our wonderful trade increase with
South America, and by comparing
the 1915 with the 1914 periods, both
under Democratic law, they are able.
because the war has shifted trade
currents, to make fair showing. by
ignoring the trade of 1913. As it is
not in the interest of the present ad-
ministration the trade record of this
country during the last year of the
Republican tariff law, 1913 is invar-
iably omitted.
Imports from South America for
the first ten months of 1918 were
vaiued at s154,00O 900; in 1914, DEM
ocratic tariff law, to S194, 100000; in
1915 Democratic law, s260.000, 900.
Exports for the same periods were,
in 1913. s124,0O0, 900; in 1914. $780,
100000; in 1916 s116,o0o.0oo.

an important factor in it, the ad.

is an important factor in it, the ad
vance is likely to ascend to 80 cents a
gallon or even 40 before the top
price is reached. AS the silver lin
ing to this cloud, the whole situation
may be relieved in the next two or
three months--in the opinion of the
authority from whom this information
was obtained. This may come either
thru a lessening of the heavy de-
mands from abroad or thru larger
supply. According to the Times in
formant the immediate problem is
more one of transportation than it
is one of production. On account Of
the lack of facilities for economical
transportation from important produc-
ing centers there is an unusual short
age of supply in New York City.
This was notably in evidence it was
stated, in the case of the California
field. The shutting up of the Panama
canal cut of that water way route,
with its reduced freight charges from
the coast to New York city. The
| oil now coming from California to
the east must pay transcontinental
railroad rates. The oil produced in
Mexico was practically all going to
England in tank steamers requisition-
led by the British government.
1t has been difficult to obtain fig
ures reliable and up to date as to
the increase in consumption in gaso-
inc in the United States in recent
years. The following statistics come
from source that should make them
iepsndable:
In 1900 the total gasoline consump.
ton in the United States was 5,00O,-
300 barrels. In 1905 it had risen to
100000. In 1910 it had climbed to
100000 barrels. By the end of
1914 the consumption of gasoline had
Igain practically doubled, the figures
being 20,000,OO0 barrels. The esti-
mated consumption of gasoline in
his country in 1916 is placed at 30,-
100000 barrels.
With increases like this ahead the
pressure for some low priced fuel
that may be used as substitute for
gasoline will continue with growing
force.
