ARGENTINA TO AID
SMALL FARMERS
Rich Lands Will Be Expro-
priated and Divided by
Government. .-

The extensive holdings of rich land
owners in the Province OF Buenos Ayres.
Argentina, will be appropriated by the
Argentine Government and cut up into
small sectors. which will be sold 10
farmers, according to information for
warded to the state Department by
Ambassador Stimson.
1.-THE law contemplates the exproprla-
ton of the extensive tracts of land sit
uated along the railroad lines OF the
province, and which are to-day in the
possession of q few landowners who
either do not cultivate them or do so
imperfectly." says the report.
1.-THE provincial government declares
that ono OF the greatest obstacles 70
the development OF the province Is the
system OF dividing the lands which has
resulted in the ownership OF immense
tracts by a very few landowners. This
has resulted In the failure to cultivate
large part OF the province, which
has the appearance OF a desert, and
farmers and their families are unable
to acquire lands in this region unless
they have funds in large quantities to
hand the large landowners not only
have refused to sell their properties ia
farmers but have endeayored to
monopolize additional tracts.
"The law proposes TO prevent this
state OF affairs and to make possible
the purchase of the land by farmers.
The lands near the railroads will be
appropriated by the Government, divided
into small tracts. and sold to the SMALL
est cultiyators. On each lot the Gov
eminent proposes TO construct at It's
own expense living quarters and other
necessary buildings At the same time
it will provide purchasers with stock,
seeds and trees.
The purchaser must pay a certain
sum on the day he takes possession,
and the balance within a certain num-
Der of years which will be limited, by
law. and on the most liberal terms. In
seasons when the crops are bad the
Government will step In to tide the
farmer over"

PLOT IN URUGUAY
Is NIPPED IN TIME
Military Chiefs Attempt to
Overthrow Government
and Are Suspended.

MONTENEGRO, Aug. io.-A plot to over
throw the present Government OF uru-
quay, in which the prominent military
chiefs and the President OF the Council
OF Administration were implicated. was
frustrated by the prompt action OF Pres
ident Brum. who Immediately suspended
various military officials suspected OF
being involved in the attempted revolu-
ton.
The trouble grew out Of parliamentary
differences between President Brum and
DR.. Feliciano Viera. President Of the
Council Of Administration.
DR.. Brum, fearing that plot among
the militarists would be Matched as soon
as he ordered the dismissals, took ref
uge in the artillery barracks. but later
when he learned that the suspected mill
tary heads had surrendered their arms
70 those who had been named in their
places he came out from cover.
Later the Minister of War dismissed
hundreds of officers from tho army. as
we'll as the navy. on suspicion that they
were implicated In the plot.
The Government as precaution
against further trouble placed machine
gun men at strategic points In the city
and in the Government buildings. Az
soon as the people learned OF the sensa-
tional events thousands rushed to the
Presidential palace to express their
loyalty to President Brum.
From the balcony OF his Official resi-
dence President Brum said; Fellow
citixensi With you I learned to be a
democrat and TO interpret the popular
will, defeating all my energies toward
the development Of our country. To-
day as President of the Republic. which
office I assumed by your aid. 1 shall
place the national interest above all
other. This popular demonstration en-
eourages me but It does not turn my

Cling to Anticipated Methods.

In the past the Peruvian planters have
waited until the completion OF their har-
vest before making any shipments and
so have not secured the prices which
they would have obtained had they
shipped the first pickings Immediately.
In the same way they fall to get the
prices for their poorer qualities which
they could realize IL they would ship

FRIDAY, JUNE 20, 1919.
CAMPING AND CAMPERS.

This is the season of camps and
campers.
There is something delightfully."-
primitive in the soul Of man that re-
spends with eager enthusiasm to the
call Of the. big out-of-aoors.- There
comes a time when all of us would
like to slough off some Of the effete
civilization that is bred by furnace
heated homes and electric ranges,
soft beds and servant-prepared food
and meet life where it is a little
more real, less buttressed by con-
ventions and hot biscuits for break
fast.
To be sure there are some who are
so softened by the debilitatipg infiu-
ences of civilization as to prefer the
so-called summer resorts, where ma
ture is served la carte. Instead OF
couch; instead Of khaki and boots
the canvas cot there is the canopied
are crepe de chine and French slip
pers. Such as these can never hope
to reach the land of promise, Of
poetry, and of placid stillnesses; the
land of romance, that turks in the
woods, beneath the cliffs and in sha-
dows. 10.
There are many places to camp
and many varieties of camps. But
the true camp is essentially simple,
with a tent or a cabin for shelter, a
few cooking utensils and clothing,
the most useful and serviceable.
There should be no impedimenta that
can be dispensed with.
And of places to camp it is hard
to saw whether forest-clad mountains
or the river valleys are most en-
trancing. But we believe the noun
tains are more satisfying. There is
something uplifting, elemental, ire
sistible, all conquering in the noun
tains. On the other hand there are
the rivers that run swiftly through
the meadowed pastures, where cat
tie Craze, the banks fringed with
willows and nature peaceful in the
soft sunshine of summer.
Then there is hiking, and fishing,
and bathing, and boating, the hum
dred and one activities that spell life
in the open. It's life for action
living in the true sense. There are
no frills to it, but it brings strength
and peace of soul. Try it just once
and your are an addict for life. That
is, if your fibres, mentally, morally
and physically are not hopelessly
degenerated by the enervating action
of conventional life.

There is saying among country
people that 'the smaller the bank the
safer the money" and therefore the
Wake County Savings bank, at Ra-
leigh, N. g., should he the safest bank
in America, since II Is the smallest.
OF course, II is trife larger than a
sock and easier to get money out Of
than the tin banks or the china pigs
of ones childhood, but II manages to
gather in very great deal of money
in the minimum space.
As a matter of fact originally the
space occupied by the bank was hall
way into the building back of 1t. Some
changes in the architecture Of the
place made the hallway unnecessary,
and so the savings bank decided on an

and that is about all. Its frontage, to
