Austrians Take Czernowitz.
Vienna, Aug. 4.-(Via Amsterdam
-Austro-Hungarian troops have en-
tered Czernowitz, capital of the crown
land of Bukowina.
Czernowitz has been the scene of
some of the most bitter fighting of
the war and the Bukowina capital has
changed from Teuton to Russian hands
altogether 10 times.
Czernowitz was first captured by the
Russians from the Austro-Hungarian
Sept. 4, 1914, only to be evacuated a
few weeks later. In November of that
year the Russians again occupied the
city and held it until February, 1915.
In the following month the Russians
again returned to the attack and after
a terrific battle stormed the capital
and drove the Austrians out This
time the Russians held the position
for only two weeks. Twice in January,
1916, the seat of the crown land
changed hands and in June of that
year it was again captured by the Rus
slams and held until the present time.
CZernowitz is situated on a hill
iouth of the river Pruth and is about
I49 miles southeast of Lemberg, the
capitol of Galicia. Before the war its
population was about 10000.

OIL SHORTAGE is IN SIGHT
War Demands Threaten To Overtax
Great Supply.

Washington, Aug. 4.-The enormous
war program will make such a de-
mand for crude oil and it's derivatives
that the Council of National Defense
and other agencies investigating the
situation expect the supply to run
short. Data secured by the navy indi-
Gates that the total shortage may
amount to more than 120,O00,OOO bar
rels. Production is expected to de-
crease approximately unless the navy
reserves are tapped, or unless the out
put of the Mexican oil field is in
creased.
The Council of National Defense
probably will urge upon the country
the strictest conservation of OIL even
if the output is increased by resorting
to the reserves.

STEAMSHIP LINES MAKE bIG PROFITS
 FROM WORLD WAR
British Companies Amass Great Amounts, Despite
 Loses Thru Subs.

(Correspondence Associated Press)
 Liverpool, June 30.-Fivc of the largest Liverpool shipping companies whose annual reports have just been issued show an aggregate profit for 1916 of $35 ,000,00O, or $2o,000,000 more than their average for the three years before the war.
 This improvement of 133 per cent, moreover, is shown after provision has been made for excess profits tax, con- tingent liabilities, and amounts set aside for every possible or Imaginable contingency. The reports do not give any accurate clue to the amounts thus set aside, and from the way the ae- counts are presented there is room for a diversity of opinion even as to the amount of money which the govern ment will get in the form of the var icus taxes to which war prosperity is subjected. One estimate puts the amount of extra taxes which the five companies will pay at $70,000,000. Some experts belirve this sum as well below the mark. Two of the companies show their profits atfer Aaducting un- disclosed amounts for "depreaton and so forth"
 The Leyland line does not mention the amount of profit earned; it merely says: "After provision for all taxa tion, depreciation and contingent li- abilities and the payment of deferred dividends, the directors propose final dividend which will bring the average rate mentioned in last years report ] to 7 1-2 per cent" This is round about way of stating that dividend of S8 pr cent has been paid to the holders of the ordinary shares, seeing that for 13 years there was no divi- dend and "A 1-2 per cent was paid last year, thus requiring 88 per cent to make an average of z 1-2 per Cpnt over thc fifteen years.
 The White Star line has handed out a stock bonus of 400 per cent, and is paying dividend of 20 per cent Ipquivalent to 10 per cent on the ole capitalization.
 The Cunard line pays it's custom. ary 20 per cent dividend on consider ably large capitalization, while it's all lowanca for depreciation is almost
 three times the corresponding fig ures of recent years.
 The Lleyland lines balance sheet shows new general purposes" func of $1,25O,0O, and renewals and re- pairs" fund of nearly $2,500,00O. II also shows the big cash and liquid re- sources which is a characteristic fca- ture of shipping companies accounts since the war. Thus, the company's cash on December 31 was $4,500,000 while it's investments, including wa, loan, totalled $25,000,0O0, or nearly 60 per cent of it's total assets.

WILD CAT COMPANIES

Arkansas Insurance Commissioner Is-

Little Rock, July 13.-Wild cat in- surance companies are operating in Arkansas, but as they are without the state, it is difficult for State Insur- range Commissioner Bruce T. Bullion to get action on them, hence he is talk ing the next best thing, in warning the people of Arkansas to deal with no in- surance agent, neither life nor fire, who has not a certificate from his de partniant, showing they are licensed to represent company that is licens- ed to do business in the state. Such an agent will have certificate for each licensed company he represents.
 There is five insurance company, with headquarters given in a Texas city, that has secured number of agents in small towns in Arkansas, who are ignorant of the fact that the com pany is not authorized to do business in. the state. Until there is an unpaid fire loss, Commissioner Bullion has no evidence of this company doing busi- ness in the state. As it is supposed to be Texas concern, and he can prose- cute only the local agent. The com- pany is not even licensed to do busi- ness in Texas,

Peonle Appreciate Service.

We are now covering route of five miles a day." said Dr. Moseley yesterday, discussing the Digests ar ticle and the success of his ven- ture. "You know" he went on, "1 embarked in this business as the re- suit of the campaign conducted by The Graphic two years ago against the high cost of living in which people were urged to pay cash for their purchases and take them home, thus eliminating losses and overhead expense, and permitting grocers to make better prices.
 "The cash money car was suc- cess from the beginning. It met a popular desire. Housewives found it so much more satisfactory than to visit the stores. They see what they
 buy before paying out their money and the transaction is closed on the spot. On our part, selling only for cash and doing a big volume of bus mess at small cost, we make unusual ly low prices, and our patrons have the advantage of the store at their front door. In other words, we give the same goods and the same service
 to be obtained by a. visit to any
 grocery, but relieve our patrons of
 the trouble of going beyond their gates, and make lower prices than
 are to be obtained at the average grocery" .~,. ........-
 In order to serve a number of
 customers not on the route of the leash grocery car". Mr. Moseley has established what he terms a "bun-
 galow sales station" at 636 Beech street. From this station telephone
 orders are delivered with a light
 motor truck, the same low prices ob- taining. MT. Moseley expects to add
 another leash grocery car" to serve his rapidly growing circle of pleased patrons. i&l ss
 Mir. Moseley has received numer-
 ous letters from all parts of the
 country, and as result of the pub
 licity given his novel venture, and
 several of his correspondents have submitted to him proposals to come
 to their cities and establish Effects"
 of leash grocery cars" He says he's
 satisfied with Pine Bluff, however. and plans to remain here and give
 the city the same good service on which he has built his success. Pine Bluff thus retains the distinction it -possesses through MT. Moseley of having the only "motor cash grocery" | in the world" AdVt.
