eral Cadorna's skill and strategy,

Petrograd reports that the German
retreat from the northern end of the
line which began Sunday continues,
and that the Ressians are destroying
all roads and bridges behind them So
rapid has been the retreat until the
Russian vanguard has at times lost
all touch with the enemy
The French pashed forward again ON

on a narrower fAont than marked the
great success of Tuesday. Paris re-

was completed in 1892, is soon to be

SMALL PAPERS EXERT
AN UNUSUAL INFLUENCE

ATLANTA, Ga, Oct. 25.-That the
so-called country paper is exerting u
great influence toward the upbuilding
of the trade of local merchants in its
town, and is accomplishing this result
through the simple medium of adver
tising the merchandise of the local
signs of the times, both in business
and in newspaper circles.
The merchant in the small town has
discovered that he must compete with
the merchant of the big city by adopt
ing the latter's advertising methods.
and in order to reach his trade must
go into the advertising columns of his
local newspaper. The big city mer-
chant buys enormous quantities Of
space in the city papers and one or
more of these goes into the home of
the people in the country and in small
towns The big city merchant makes
a special feature of his mail orde4'
business. AS a natural consequence,
an enormous volume of business, i'll
the aggregate, flows from the country
and the small towns into the Golfers of
the big city merchant.
In order to meet and overcome this
competition, the local merchant must
present the quality and style of his
local newspaper tits common know
ledge among women shoppers of the
cities that they can get the same goods
at lower price from merchants in
small towns. and many of them leave
the city to do their trading. They
have discovered a fact which the peo-
pie of the small town overlook, and it
is up to the small town merchant to
educate his customers.

BIC SHIPMENT Of
LOUISIANA SUGAR CANE

WASHINGTON, D. c., Oct. 25.-Two
hundred million pounds of Louisiana
sugar cane was contracted for here to-
day by the American Sugar Refining
Company, and will begin moving north
ward next week to relieve the serious
situation in the Eastern states
If the Eastern consumer had been
compelled to await the coming of this
years supply from western beet and
Cuban cane fields there would have
been no relief for existing famine con-
ditions until late in November.
For the 2OO,O00,0O0 pounds the refin-
ers paid about $13,00O,0O or approx
imately 1-2 cents a pound After
adding the cost of transportation AMI
refining it is estimated that they win
be able to sell to the wholesaler at
steadily decreasing prices, beginning
at S.35 cents, Eastern seaboard, and
dropping to 725 hy the end of the
year The latter figure is the sea-
board price, previously fixed by agree
ment for Cuban, Hawaiian and Wes-
tern beet sugar and the price the food
expects to H,ointain.
