FOODSTUFFS SOAR IN
PRICE DURING 1912
Figures Show Increase in the;
Price in Atlanta Less Than
Elsewhere
(By Associated Press.)
WASHINGTON, Jan. 10.—Soaring-
prices of food stuffs are pictured in a
new set of figures compiled by the Uni
ted States department of labor from its
investigation of the cost of living in
thirty-nine cities.
Between August, 1911, and August.
1012, only two things decreased in price
—potatoes and sugar. Meanwhile, every
thing else advanced.
In Boston sirloin steak has advanced
24 per cent; in Buffalo 19 per cent; in
Atlanta 8 per cent; in Chicago 19 per
, certf, and in Binfpingham 15 per cent
But the figures showing the advance
in price® during the last ten years show
the following increases: Sugar, 6 per
cent; butter. 34; milk, 35; flour, 35;
potatoes, 46; eggs, 47; lard, 57; hens.
59; sirloin steak. 62; ham, 63; rib roast.
63; corn meal, 64; round staak, S6;
smoked bacon, 100, and pork chops, 105.
Within the thirty-nine cities the de
partment investigated, live one-fifth the
total population of the United States;
two-fifths of the urban population and
approximately one-third of all the peo-
‘ pie engaged in gainful occupations, not
; including farmers.
METHODS FOR SAVING
OUR CORN HARVEST
Our methods of handling corn in
the southwest is far from being eco
nomical. As a rule, the corn is gath
ered by hand after it has stood in the
field for some time, A team is driven
to a wagon and the ears are snapped
by hand and thrown into «ne wagon.
This is wasteful, because the horses
destroj’’ considerable, waiting for the
driver to move them up. Many ears
must of necessity be overlooked by
the hands, and this is wasted unless
the fields are. gleaned by stock.
It would be far more economical
to put much of the corn crop into the
silo, for it is conservatively estimated
that 40 per cent of the corn plant is
saved when it is put into the silo.
But some grain Is always needed,
hence all of the crop - Is seldom en
siled. But the corn that is to be sav
ed for grain and stover should be
harvested with the corn binder and
stacked in the field until it has cured.
It should then be taken to the shred
der, where it is husked and the stover
shredded for forage. In this way the
stover is saved, and the loss in har
vesting is reduced to a minimum.
The corn binder is not an expensive
machine, but it is a very useful one.
The husker and shredder is more ex
pensive, but one would soon pay for
itself where the farmer grows a
great deal of corn. A good way to
get the use of ;the shredder is to buy
on the co-operative plan. That is, sev
eral farmers may buy one together
g.nd “swap work” in harvesting corn
and filling silos. In the same way a
corn harvester may be bou^nt, if de
sired—Farm and Ranch.
SURVIVORS REACH PORT
. AFTER VESSEL IS LOST
(By Associated Press.)
CEDAR KEY, Fla., Jan. 10.—The crew
of. the sciiooner Thomas S. Dennison, of
Thomaston, Maiie, 'after having drifted
about in the Gulf of Mexico for six
days without a sail or power, made this
port Thursday and reported that their
vesel, which was bound from Baltimore
to Galveston, Tex., under command of
Captain G-. F. Brown, sank on January
5, abbut 100 miles south of Pensacola.
The Dennison was carrying a cargo
of 2,150 tons of steel rails. She was
about twelve years old and had been in
the coastwise trade ever since being
launched. The vessel was abandoned
just eight minutes before she sank; head
first, into the waters of the gulf. Just
as the vessel sank there was a terrific
explosion % which blew’ away the entire
aft part of the vessel.
Captain Brown and his crew are wait

1912
(By Associated Press.)
NEW YORK, Jan. 11.—A squad of
detectives baited a trap for highway
men today with a sixty-year-old bank
messenger and a satchel containing $3.-
300. The highwaymen took the bait.
On© detective was shot and may die;
the messenger was beaten senseless and
probably has a fractured skull, and a
pitched battle with bullets peppering
houses like hail, was fought on the
East Side. One of the highwaymen es
caped. The other was captured.
The messenger, Peter E. Plunkett,
left the Union Exchange National bank,
where he had been employed for ten
days, with his satchel in. his hand, and
a cloud of detectives disguished as la
borers trailing him. Within the satchel
were currency and silver for the -weekly
pay rolls of two factories.
As Plunkett stepped into the dark
ened hallway of one of the factories
two men sprang up from nowhere, be
side him. One of them crumpled Him
up senseless on the flagging before he
could cry out.. The assailant used a
blackjack. The other highwayman
grabbed th e satchel and both darted
away.
The factory did not know of the
plan, and for a moment detained one
of the detectives who had gone ahead
of the messenger.
‘While he was explaining, the bandits
were making off. Then the detective
started in pursuit, caught one of the
men and rolled to the cobblestones
with him.
Meantime the detectives in the rear of
Plunkett, not expecting so quick a dc-
nounement, began blazing away with
their pistols at the other fleeing high
wayman. The thief fired as he flffi
and, keeping the pack at his heels, dart
ed down a side street, through traffic,
into a hallway and out the back door,
over fences into the street and disap-
appeared, leaving behind a bullet-pierced
overcoat.
The stachel, dropped in his flight,
was found intact, ten feet from the fac
tory doorway.
One of the fugitives’ bullets found
a mark in James A. Watson, a detective,
entered his back and passed nearly
through his body. He canont recover.
The man who was tripped to the cob
blestones said he was Frank Moran,
nineteen years old, a packer. He was
held without bail. Plunkett was taken
to a hospital.
Paymaster Slugged in Day
Time on; Streets Friday
NEW YORK, Jan. 11.—In a daring
assault late yesterday Neil Henderson,
a contractor's paymaster, was struck
down with a sawed-off billird cue on
a street corner in the fashionable Park
avenue section, and robbed of $2,500
in bills.
Passersby picked the paymaster up
and carried him to a hospital, where
he is in a serious condition.

There is conducted at the Georgia Ex
periment Station every year a variety
test of corn and of cotton. The ob
ject in view is to ascertain the rank
to which varieties, competing for pub
lic favor, may attain. The varieties in
the test represent much painstaking in
seed selection on the part of their re
spective originators.
Two or thre e rows of each variety are
planted. The results mean that the
yield is at the rate of so many bushels
or so many pounds, as the case may
be, of corn or of seed cotton per acre.

WASHINGTON, Jan. ll.—The first
break in the deadlock over President
Taft’s appointments, pending in the sen
ate, came today when at an executive
session, Brigadier General, James B.
Aleshire was confirmed as a major gen
eral, and Surgeon General George M.
Torney was confirmed as a brigadier
general. This action followed a morning
caucus by the Democrats, but the lines
are still so sharply drawn between Re
publicans and Democrats that no furth
er confirmations are expected in the im
mediate future except on army and navy
and diplomatic' appointments.
The senate spent an hour behind
closed doors before it announced con
firmation of the two army appointments.
The Democrats at their caucus shortly
before had adopted the resolution of
Senator Myers, of Montana, that only
army, navy and diplomatic appointments
should be allowed to go through with
out objection. The senate did not act
on the case of Brigadier General W. W.
Wotherspoon or Colonel John McCler-
nand.
The deadlock between the Democrats
and the Republicans is expected to con
tinue over the majority of the 1,300
nominations now pending. The Demo
cratic caucus provided that the Demo
crats should adhere to the plan adopted
until further action by the caucus, a
suggestion made by Senator Gore. The
fight in the senate probably will be re
newed early next week to determine the
length to which both parties will go in
the struggle.

They Earned $355,000 More
in Past Two Years Than
in Two Preceding
Taxes collected by the government
indicate that corporations in Georgia
earned $355,000 more during the last
two years than during the two years
preceding.
Henry S. Jackson, internal revenue
collector, has prepared a total of the
collections during 1912 and 1911, and
has compared them with the total dur
ing 1910 and 1909. The gain of $355,000
is shown by the comparison.
The amount of the corporation tax
is determined by the net earnings of
the corporation, and the increase in tax
collections indicates a proportional in
crease in earnings.
It is significant that while the col
lections in Georgia have increased,
those in other states have declined. The
country as a whole showed a decrease
of several millions last year in col
lections for corporation taxes.
Returns are now being made to the
government by the corporations for the
taxes that will be collected in the sum
mer. These returns must be furnished
to the collector by March 1.

LONDON, Jan. 11.—No sign of a
loosening of the deadlock in the Bal
kan situation is yet in evidence. In
the meantime the.world awaits th e fall
of the long-beleaguered fortress of
Adrianopolis, and it watching with
close interest' for the effect which the
collective note to be handed to Turkey
by the ambassadors at Constantinople
of te European powers will have on
tne Turkish government.
The Italian ambassador in London,
who spent years in Constantinople and
knows Turkey well, declared today
that if th e powers were able to press
Turkey to cede Adrianpole, some con
cession would be necessary concerning
the Aegea.i islands.
“Otherwise,” he said, “the Ottomans
in their despair would become a kind
of wild animals, capable of any ex
cess.”
The Turkish delegates confirm the
report that they will leave London
next'week for Constantinople if the al
lies do not change their minds. One
of the Turkish envoys said:
“We are rather glad that Europe
has now learned what sort of swine
herds these Balkan people are. We
know them of old.”
If you notice one or ror the free medicine will also receive a copy
more of these symptoms you need this medicine, 'of my large, illustrated medical book which
and I will he glad to send you some of it if *
you 'will write me the numbers of the symp
toms you have, give your age and your name

J.ynott, 1)250 Deagan Building, Chicago, Ill.
You promise me nothing; you pay me nothing
for it. AH I ask, so there shall be no mistake,
that you send me the numbers of your
symptoms or a description in your own words,
and that you take the med cine according to
the directions I send you. It is my way of
getting publicity for my medicine so that It will
become widely known.
You will agree wl.cn you have used it that
it dissolves and drives out uric acid po'son.
It tones the kidneys so that they work in har
mony with the. bladder. It strengthens the
bladder so that frequent desire to ur irate and
ether urinary disorders are banished. It stops
rheumatic aches and pains immediately. It
dissolves uric acid crystals so that back and
•muscles no longer ache and crooked joints
quickly straighten out. It reconstructs the blood
and nerves so that you soon feel healthier and
more vigorous, sleep better and eat better and
have energy throughout' the day. It does all
this, and yet contains noth ng injurious and
is absolutely vouched for according to law.
•offerers from these dreadful and dangerous

Abductors Are Caught When
Machine Clashed Into
Monument
(By Associated Press.)
ALLENTO.WN, Pa., Jan. 13.-—
What is declared by the police and
the parents of the girl involved to
have been a sensational attempt at
kidnaping ended when a taxicab in
which the > young woman was being
whirled away by two men late Satur
day crashed into the Soldiers’ monu
ment at Center Square and led to the
arrest of the alleged abductors. The
girl is Miss Anna E. Steckel, twenty-
three years old, daughter of one of
Allentown’s most prominent citizens
and a prospective heiress of a quar
ter of a million dollars. The men
who ar e charged with the alleged
abduction are Samuel Sinclair, a
state highway supervisor, and his
friend, B. Walter Starr, university
student. The two men were commit
ted to jail tonight in default of
$3,000 bail.
According to the story told by
Miss Steckel, she had rejected the
attentions of Sinclair on numerous
occasions, but that he persisted in
trying to call on her. Today she
was returning from a shopping tour
and noticed a taxicab standing near
