A GENERAL STRIKE IS
 FEARED IN ARGENTINA <

 Buenos Aires, Aug. 6.-Business inter ests are manifesting concern over arumors that countrywide general strike is inl- minent as the result of agitation by the extremist elements of the labor popula- tion. Many citizens are laying in supp plies of food against an emergency.
 It is known that agitators are circulat- ing through the country, seeking pledges in support of a general strike from the various labor groups. It is feared that, on account of the bolshevik successes and growing discomfort over recent sharp in creases in the cost of necessities and rents, these agitators may win sufficient adherents to be successful
 All of the newspapers dwell upon the suffering of the poor, especially in the provinces, where it is said the living costs are becoming prohibitive, and the socialist papers are bitterly arraigning the government
 Peaceful demonstrations by tenants against rents have occurred in Buenos Aires. Numerous strikes in various parts | of the country continue unsettled, includ- ing that of the river and coastwise ma rine workers. which has lasted si1 months.

GROWTH IN REFORMATION OF COAL

= Newcastle-on-Tyne July 2o.-America is threatening the British coal monopoly of Europe W. J. Noble, chairman of ] the Tyne Improvement Commission, in the course of a recent speech, drew at- tention to new competition from the United States and Australia.
 Recyhtly he saw in Scandinavia, he said, vast stacks of coal from America and saw contract concluded for 100000 tons of coal from Australia. He had learned also he said, that last year the United States exported nearly 21,000,0Q0 tons of coal to Europe and South Amer ica, compared with 100000 the year be- fore the war.
 There was a real danger of under~es- timating the American coal competition in markets which were once virtually the

SHARP NEW ADVANCES
 IN PRICE OF WHEAT

Chicago, Aug. 6.-Sharp new ad- vances in the price of wheat resulted today from continued anxiety over the likalihccd of war between Great Britain and Russia Prolonged dry weather sn the ror1 belt threatening serious crop damage tended further to intensity bull ish sentiment. On the other hand, re- iterated assertions that the British roy al commission was still out of sthe mar ket as buyer of wheat had no appar- ent influence as a check on~the upturn in values.

The town OF Barnet, which was re-
ported in the census returns recently,
is one of the smaller towns of Yer
mont, largely depending upon agricul-
ture although being q railroad town
and situated on the main line of a
large railroad system. Barnet might
have been expected to lose population
largely in the general exodus to the
manufacturing centers during the
period Of the war; yet the town fell off
only l.3 per cent in the population fig.
ures Of 1920. To all intents and pur-
poses Barnet held its own. This is a
fact that is somewhat encouraging to
those who were fearful about the popu-
lation of Vermont in the recent census.
OF course, it may be expected that
country towns which do not have the
advantage of railroad location will fall
off considerably more than Barnet; but
the aggregate loss may be offset by the
gain in some of the Industrial centers.

Report from Maryland is to the effect
that the price of Strawberries will be
advanced considerably during the com
ing season caused by the berry crops
being substituted by more profitable
products 1t remains to be determined
whether those more profitable products
whatever they are will join the
strawberries in the upward march OF
prices; and if so what sort of an alibi
those more profitable products can
show for their advance. 1t seems that
even the food products have taken the
convenient course Of passing the buck
to get rid of the displeasure of the
public over the advancing costs. As far
as strawberries are concerned, the peo-
pie can easily find way out of the
difficulty of meeting the cost of the
fruit. That way is to refrain from
buying the Strawberries, which are
classed as more or less of luxury any
way. However, if the Vermont
growers of the fruit should
not show any desire to pro-
fiteer off their product they will find
the usual market for their berries 1t
would be unfortunate if the Vermont
growers should follow the lead of the
Maryland producers of Strawberries
and increase the price abnormally.

THE EFFORTS TO STAMP OUT HOG
CHOLERA

The efforts of federal and state agri-
cultural authorities to stamp out the
cases of hog cholera which have broken
out in the vicinity of Montpelier ought
tv receive the hearty cooperation OF
the public, more particularly perhaps
the farmers, whose interests are vitality
affected by the situation. 1t il to the
interests of the farmers that the
spread of the disease be checked right
at the outset. Now is the favorable
opportunity because only a few cases
have developed and close watch has
been set for the development of 9th
er cases. But this vigilance will not be
of much avail unless the individual
owners of swine report any suspected
cases of the disease because it will be
scarcely possible for the inspectors to
make the rounds of the entire district
and, possibly. of the whole state in an
effort to ferret out the cases. Safety
can be secured only through prompt re-
port of cases. This aid the farmers
and all owners of swine should gladly
give to the federal and state authori-
ties
