That Is only tho t.hlrd lot of bllt posters that hare been out hero posting bills for shows of one kind or another.

From what I can learn the applo crop In this section will bo. up to tho stand ard and about a half crop of pears. -'. J.

That country i the Urpubllu of Chilcj and the product which has now numed Mich tremendous importance is the nitrate of toiln which it supplies to the world. The nitrate fields of Chile form n wonderful n".ct in the national economy, and thii news note state- that the government will' sell at public miction, on August 10, in the city of Santiago, ceitaiu nit rate lands located in the province of Tnrapncn, thus opening up for do vclopment additional areas contain ins this rvmnrknblp product. The greatest u.c in recent years of Chilean nitrate has been ''to make two blades of 'crns qrew where but one grew before," and in this capac ity it has been n blessuip to human ity. Tlic HS.C of nitrate of sodn ns n lertinxer, tliousli very general now. has been known to cur civilization less than a century. Tho story goes Hint an old Scotchman 'who lived near the prtscnf'hitrftte fields about 1810, spread some soil containing white eryMalA oV'er purt of bis car een. Things plahtcd in (his particu lar soot grew wonderfully. Samples of the noil were sent to Scotland for analysis, and the nature of the sub stance and its value as n fertilizer wns soon established. According to tntdition, however, centuries before tho Spanish conquer, the Incut of Peru and some of the untivus of Bo livia knew of the fertilizing value of the white crystals, and nre supjKiscd lo hno known how to produce them from the crude material. Today Chile enjoys radically n world monopoly in th 'mduction of Belgium Most Thickly Settled. of All European Nations The determined stand tnado by the Belgians to keep their 11,000 snuare mllcs'of territory, slightly larger than tho state of Maryland, from be coming a bat'.io ground for other na tions, rcitr on an experience of simi lar cond'.'u.ns dating back to the day.? of Charlemagne and the early Fiuik isb einnt't.

In 1UKI the e.Mrls reach ed the high-water mark. Neaily 11,000,000 toiw were shiiocd from the vniious H)its of tho country and went to incrcn-c the productiveness of the (.oils of many different na tions. Incidentally, Chile derives a golden harvest from the product. The revenue derived from the export duty on nitrate, if equally distributed nmoin; the inhabitants of the country, would give everv man. woman and child no loss than $10 annually. This great revenue Is beiu Used to build railroads, improve harbors, foster education mid to build up the nation generally; an, taking into considera tion the number of its habitants, makes Chile one of thu richest coun tries in the world. The Chilean nitrate beds nre found in a strip of country about ."00 miles long, nt n distance varying from fif teen to ninety miles from the Pacific coast. The deposits lc in great bed", or strata, nnd the product is easily mined. The overlying strata are pen etrated by small shafts or drills on through the natural nitrate beds to the underlying bedrock or substratum of clay or gravel. At the bottom of the shafts charges of powder or dyn amite arc placed, which, when ex ploded, break- up and scatter the sur face layers and the nitrate. The fragments of nitrate nre then gath ered from the debris nnd carried in carts or smull earn to the oficiuas, or factories, which convert the natural product into the white crystals of ni trate of soda, sack them and then transport them to the ueanvt )Rrt for shipment. Just now, however, the greatest de mand for nitrate will be to make powder nnd other explosives. Nitric ncid Is needed to manufacture nitro glycerine, dynamite, smokeless pow der nnd the various kinds of high ex plosives ued in these modern times. Even in times of peace tho Unitrd States mes for manufacturing ex plosives three times the nmount of nitrate used in the production of fcr tilizcr. In times of rnr no estimate can be made us Ut the nmount the world will demaud, ntid doubtless t Ito price of Chilean nitrate will soar. quarter acres Is more than one-halt million, with only a few thousands of 50 to 125 acres. The number ot larger farms Is now on tho Incrcanc, partly because of the growth of the stock raising Industry. Other cause of prosperity are the coal mines and tho textile and Iron and steel Indus tries. Because of tho presence of n great mass of Industrial workers tho cause of soclallxm Is strong. Tho capital of tho kingdom Is Brus sets', with a population including sub urbs, of 720,000. The nation has no navy, but does a largo Importing an I exporting trade, with a fair sized merchant marine. The chlot seaports on tho North Sea are Ostend, 1 1 cyst and Nlcuport, The only colony of the country Is the Belgian Congo, Africa, whero rubber is tho cblof ex port. Belgium's war strength up to Inst year was estimated at 1KU.0UO, Al most as If in some forehanded knowl edge of the turn of European affair, a new Jaw was passed Increasing tho war strength to 310,000, This Is di vided Into 120,000 for field service, 60,000 for auxiliary sprvlco and 120, 000 for garrisons. Tho large garri son force Is mado necesiary by the largo number of fortresses on tho sot eral frontiers.
