CHEAPER BREAD TO
FOLLOW 52.20 PRICE
FIXED FOR MI
Administration Struck Medium
Between Demand of Con
sumers for $1.76 and Farm
ers for $2.50
WASHINGTON, Aug. 31.—The 5-cent
loaf, containing fourteen ounces, is in
sight today as a result of governmental
wheat price fixing at $2.20 a bushel for
the 191. crop.
The wheat administration believes
that, while farmers may be displeased
:o some extent at a price lower than
they expected, the new system will
make their profits suae. will prevent
speculation, give millers and bakers a
fair margin, and assure the working
man of fair-priced bread
Thu price-fixing committee said today
that it believed the farmers, as a pa
triotic duty, ought to be willing to re
linquish some of their profits for the
good of the whole war cause.
The new prices will prevail not alone
for the United States, but also for the
allies, for whom purchases will be made
through the wheat corporation.
President Wilson expressed himself as
confident the price fixing will stabilize
the wheat business and work for the
general good.
The price-fixing committee started
with two cxtrer..es, the consumer's desire
i for $1.84 and the producers for $2.50.
Compromises, however, were made with
the resultant $2.20 fixed on the basis of
' No. 1 northern spring wheat delivered at
\ Chicago.
The committee took into consideration
; the subnormal yield of wheat, the fact
that the nation is at war and business
| conditions are disturbed, while at the
i same time figuring that production
I ought to be encouraged and the ultimate
consumer not discouraged.
The price differentials worked out by
j the food administration are: No. .1 dark
winter, $2.24; hard winter basic, $2.20;
I red winter basic, $3.30; yellow hard
! winter. $2.16; soft red winter. $2.18;
. dark northern spring. $2.24; red spring,
> $2.18; humpback, $2.10; amber durum,
$2.24; durum basic, $2.30; red durum.
I $2.13; ired wallas, $2.12; hard white
' basic. $2.20; soft white, $2.18; white
club. $2.16. No. 2 of each grade is three
cents less. No. 3 six cents less. No. 4
ten cents less.
The committee’s work ended with the
fixing of a price. One member, K. G.
Rhett, of Charleston, S. C., was ill and
did not attend the meetings. Besides
Dr. Garfield, the chairman, the other
members present were:
Charles J. Barrett, of Georgia, presi
dent of the Farmers’ union; Eugene E.
Funk, of Illinois, president of the Corn
Growers' association; Edward F. Ladd,
president of the North Dakota Agri
cultural college; J. W. Shorthill, of Ne
braska, secretary of the National Coun
cil of Farmers’ Co-operative associa
tions; L. J. Tabor, master of the Ohio
State Grange; Henry J. Waters, presi
dent of the Kansas Agricultural col
lege: W. N. Doak. of Roanoke, Va., vice
president of the Brotherhood of Rail
road Trainmen: James W. Sullivan, of
I New York, of the American Federation
jof Labor; F. W. Taussig, chairman of
1 the tariff commission, and Theodore N.
I Vail, president of the American Tele
’ phone and Telegraph company.
That the $2.20 wheat price is fair to
the farmer is indicated by a statement
I issued today by the department of agri
culture, which shows that $2.49 was the
highest average price paid to producers
1 during the last ten years. This price
was reached last June.
The price has ranged between a min
imum of 76 cents paid in December,
. 1912, to the above maximum.
The price has been mounting steadily,
but never has such a high level been
reached and maintained as since the out
break of the war. The farm price went
as high as $1.25 a bushel in June, 1909.
| receding till it again took an upward
curve in 1915, reaching practically $1.30
a bushel In February, but declining to
91 and a fraction cents In December of
that year.
The average price has not gone below
that mark since December, 1915. Wheat
opened at $1.02 and a fraction in 1916.
, falling to 93 cents in July, and closing
the year with a new high mark of $1.60
. and a fraction.
The average yearly price of number
one northern spring wheat in the Chi
cago market during the ten years 1908-
1917 was $1.26 per bushel, ranging be
tween 91 cents in 1913 and $2.37 In 1917
During the same period” the average
yearly price paid to producers was $1.07
I per bushel, ranging between .79 cents
in 1913 and $2 In 1917.
Congressmen representing some wheat
states denounced as “a monstrous in
justice” the $2.50 price set for wheat.
For the North Dakota delegation Con-
I gressman Baer, nonpartisan, said: “The
price set is a monstrous injustice, too,
and discriminates against the growers
of the northwest. Producers In the
south have sold their crop at the top
market price. Gamblers have been re
ceiving $3.60 a bushel in Chicago for
imaginary wheat. Now the farmer
comes along with high-grade grain and
Is penalized by the beneficent food ad
ministration. The government has
broken faith with the northwest pro
ducers.”
Other congressmen said that not one
farmer in twenty raised the No. 1 north
ern grade wheat, which alone com
mands the price the government set.
Much wheat, they said, will sell well
below the $2 mark.
Baer said that limiting middlemen’s
profits wotfld do the consumer more
good than any price imposed on ths pro
ducer.
“On the open market," said Senator
could get $3 to $3.60 a bushel for his
wheat. The government, therefore, is
taking close to 80 per cent of his war
profit. Now let’s do the same all along
I the line.”

I ties asked district board No. 3 to ex-

Here’s a Snap for All
Having Snap Beans for
Sale; Ship to Florida
The best bet yet from the standpoint
of Georgians profiting from the sale of
food crops was revealed Thursday, fol
lowing investigations by Lem B. Jack
son. director of the state market bureau,
who found that snap beans may be de
livered in Tampa, Fla., and sold at a
profit of 68 cents a bushel above the
market price in Atlanta, or, shipped to
the Jacksonville market, where a profit
cf 42 cents a bushel may be realized.
Even a greater profit can be realized,
Mr. Jackson believes, by residents of
the central and southern portions of
Georgia.
The price of snap beans in Atlanta is
40 cents a bushel against $1.50 a bushel
in Jacksonville and $2 a bushel in
Tampa. The beans* may be shipped to
Tampa at the rate of 92 cents a bushel
and to Jacksonville for 68 cetns.
The explanation of the difference In
prices in Atlanta and these Florida cities
is that the Florida bean erbp was har
vested some time ago.

Warren, about fifteen years old and
the eldest son of Roger D. Warren, was
accidentally shot and killed by George
W. Kelly, Jr., son of Mr. and Mrs. G.
W. Kelly.
The boys were playing in Warren’s

boy’s face and penetrating his brain.
Young Kelly is prostrated and can

United States, or shall willfu’lly ob
struct the recruiting or enlistment
services of the United States to the
injury of the service of the United
States, shall be punished by a fine,
etc.
In connection with this, section
1, of title 12 of the same act must be
considered. This declares that
“every letter, newspaper, etc., in
violation of any of the provisions
of this act is hereby declared to be
non-mailable, and shall not be of
fered in the mails or deliverd from
any postoffice or any carrier.’’ The
light afforded by tnese sections of
a valid and vital law, shone upon
the pages of the Jeffersonian when
they were under the scrutiny of the
members of the president's cabinet.
Congress had declared war. Thou
sands of the elite of the American
army were on the soil of France.
At any moment the crash of their
rifle fire and the thunders of their
artillery in the vindication and de
fense of human liberty might be
heard. American men-of-war, man
ned by Americans, were swiftly
cleaving the waters forbidden by
the enemy to our commerce, quest
ing every billow for his lurking and
deadly craft. By the thousands,
the gallant youth of every Ameri
can state were rallying to the flag.
By the vast over-subscription of the
Liberty bonds, our people had prov
en that in the common cause they
will be as lavish of their treasure
as of their blood. With the ut
most nobility of soul, with the self
sacrificial spirit of women, in the
humane Red Cross and similar or
ganizations, our country’s daugh
ters were no whit behind her sons.
THREATENING TO NATION.
At this juncture of the nation’s
life, tfie postmaster general and the
attorney general discovered in the
plaintiff’s publication which the
government through its mail was
distributing to its people such pas
sages as, this, taken from the issue
of June 30th:
"Men conscripted to go to Europe
are virtually condemnel to death
and everybody knows it.
President Wilson admitted as
much in his Flag Day address. ♦ • *
Why is your boy condemned to
die in Europe?”
Again in the issue of July 19th
Is a statement aimed at the chief
magistrate of the United States.
That it is false, that is was intend
ed to interfere with the operation
or success of our forces, that it was
an attempt to cause insubordina
tion, disloyalty, mutiny or refusal
of duty by them, the postmaster
general might well conclude.
"Does he, the president, not
know the conscription act, forcing
citizens out of the union to die in
Belgium and France Is every bit
as lawless as the action of the
Phelps Dodge Copper company in
forcing those one thousand and one
hundred (1,100) miners out of Amer
ica? What are 1,100 miners to
six hundred and eighty-five thou
sand (685,00) conscripts whom our
Ceasar has condemned to death in
‘foreign fields of blood?' ”
Nor is such reference as the fol
lowing, to the commander-in-chief
of the army and navy of the United
States, made in time of war, deter
rent to insubordination, disloyalty,
mutiny, or refusal of duty.
"Are we—like the sow returning
to her wallow, and the dog to his
vomit —to go back to the medieval
ism of personal rule —a pope’s word
ruling the church, and a king’s
word ruling the state?
"Why not call Woodrow Wilson by
the name of king, or kaiser, or czar,
if the constitution is to be treated
as the kaiser treated the Belgium
treaty.
"The kaiser did not swear to
support the Belgium treaty. Wood
row Wilson did swear to support
the constitution.
“And now, within six months
after taking that solemn and pub
lic oath, the congressmen and presi
dent who did so, are treating the
constitution exactly as the kaiser
treated the Belgium* treaty.”
Nor does congress escape. On
page 4 of the issue of July 19th,
is printed the vote of the house on
the question to create a national
army. This, under the title, "These
are the Representatives in Con
gress, lower house, who confiscated
the liberty and the lives of your
sons.”
A more direct but not more ef
fective effort to obstruct the re
cruiting or enlistment service of the
United States appears on page 7 of
the issue of July 26th, 1917.
“I advise (prints the editor of
’The Jeffersonian’) the conscript to
await the decision of the United
States supreme court, and not to
be clubbed by the foot of conscrip
tion into enlistment. Once you
volunteer, and sign up. you can be
sent anywhere and the law can’t
help you.”
Equally but not more unmall
able in contemplation of the act of
congress above quoted is the issue
of August 15th. In the affidavit
before the court the postmaster
general, so we have seen, after
charging the existence of an organ
ized propaganda to discredit and
handicap the government in the
prcrecution of the war, declared
that such matter is in violation
of section 3 of title 1, and sections
1 and 2 of title 12 of the espionage
act and is non-mailable. That for
these reasons, the publication is not
a newspaper or other periodical
pub'ication within ene meaning of
the laws of the United States gov
erning mailable matter of the sec
ond class, and the deponent so de
cided after due and thorough con
sideration of the matters and things
stated herwetn. In this conclusion,
I find that he was fully justified.
In such crises in Lacedonna, the
Spartan mother, when her son went
forth to battle, was accustomed to
exclaim, "Return on your shield or
with it!” How dissimilar, how
sordid is the cowardice "The Jeffer
sonian” would encourage.
"What about a car load of
German soap made out of our
boys?
"What about manuring Ger
man fields with our bravest
youth, and fattening German
hogs on the choicest selec
tion from American manhood?
“‘I raised my boy to be a
soldier,' says the song, but did
mother raise him to be pig
feed?"
Had the postmaster general longer
permitted the use of the great pos
tal system which he controls for
the dissemination of such poison,
it would have been to forego the

; VOTED BV SEPTEMBER 10
Petition for Cloture Is With
drawn—LaFollette To Urge
Higher Rate
WASHINGTON, Aug. 31.—The senate
! today resumed debate on the war profits
provisions of the war tax bill under an
agreement for a final vote on the bill
: itself not later than Monday, Septem
j ber 10. The vote will be taken before
' then should debate end sooner than ex
-1 pected.
The agreement also calls for disposi
| than next Wednesday and the Income
I tion of the war profits section not later
j tax provision by September 7.
As a result of the agreement, the pe
tition for cloture filed on Wednesday
has been withdrawn.
When the senate convened today Sen
ator Smoot, Republican member of the
i finance committee, was ready to re
sume his speech in opposition to Sen
ator Bankhead’s substitute which pro
! vldes for a levy of 75 per cent on war
I profits, based on capitalization of 20 per
i cent and over.
Senator LaFollette was to follow with
a long speech in favor of higher war
profits taxation. He has amendments
pending to take from 76 to 48 per cent of
such profits. »
New amendments awaiting action to
day included those by Senators Hollis,
Gore and Brady providing for levies on
war profits of from 50 to 66 2-3 per
cent. The LaFollette substitute bill
designed to raise about $3,500,000,000
chiefly from war profits, incomes and
liquor taxation, also .is pending.
NOT A POPULAR WAR.
Senator Harding, of Ohio, opened de
bate with a plea for caution against
too drastic conscription of wealth. The
masses as well as the rich he said,
should pay a share of the war’s cost,
according to their ability to pay. He
urged that taxes be levied which would
not cripple business, deplete reserve
strength of the nation and its ability
tc carry further loads
Senator Harding said that the war
is not popular.
“There are scores of contributing rea
sons," he said. "We are sincerely de
voted to peace, the campaign cry of
the year before our involvement which
was dwelt upon from every ,’tump. We
are a polyglot people, without racial
entity. Our free republic is foil of
aliens. We harbor the trained propa
gandist whose business is to spread
sedition. eW have plotters and bomb
planters and wholesale murderers. We
have the greedy and the profiteer in
every walk of life.”
The Ohio senator said that if neces
sary to win the war he would conscript
every dollar of income over $5,000 to a
family. “But if you strike at excess
profits you reduce incomes and are
likely to hinder development of busi
ness,” said he.
Senator Gronna, North Dakota, said
America can afford to pay cash for the
war, and should not liurden future gen
erations with interest on huge bond is
sues.
He advocated taking the bulk of the
war chest from war profits.
“Any other proceedure would be fun
damentally wrong, and would receive
from the people of the country the re
sentment it deserves," he said.
J Indications multiplied today that thv
7 finance committe through its surrender
I to the sentiment for a heavier draft on
; war profits, swung to its support
many senators who earlier were hostile
j to the committee’s bill.
| Southern senators, who had all'e*
themselves under Senator Underwood’s
j leadership in support of the Bankhead
I amendment, are gradually returning to
! the committee’s aid. Senator Under
. wood today predicted the committ,
would win, defeating the Johnson-Borah
wei\Jth conifctlption forces.
Consumption taxes promise, however,
to raise a bitter contest.
Manchester Barber Is
On Trial for Murder
Os Officer Known Here
(Special Dispatch to The Journal.)
GREENVILLE, Ga., Aug. 31.—John
W. Swann, a barber of Manchester, is
on trial in Meriwether superior court
. charged with the murder of B. A. Harris
at Manchester on March 1 of the cur
rent year. The trial has been In prog
ress since Tuesday. The case is now
with the Jury.
Harris and Swann were both well
known, and the court room was crowded
during the hearing. A large number
of witnesses were examined, many of
whom came from Fulton county. Harris
formerly resided in East Point, where
he was a .policeman. Later he lived
in Atlanta, where he was employed at
the terminal station. He was chief of
police in Manchester at the time he was
shot and was immediately carried to the
Piedmont hospital in Atlanta, where he
died on March 4 ’last.
Harris was making an attempt to ar
rest Swann when the latter shot him.
The defendant contends the attempt to
arrest him was illegal, and that Harris
beat him with his club and drew his
pistol before he (Swann) shot.
• •
opportunity to serve his country
afforded bj’ his lofty station.
COME WITH CLEAN HANDS.
There is, moreover, an additional
consideration of the weightiest
character, which obliges the denial
of such an Injunction as is here
sought. An appeal is made to an
American court of equity to oblige
the postal authorities of our coun
try to contribute Its mailing facili
ties for the furtherance and success
of a propaganda against the nation
as distinct as it is truculent and
dangerous. Under the familiar
rule in equity, such an appeal is
addressed largely to the discretion
of the court. It is to be determined
by the conscience of the chancel
lor, and always with proper regard j
to the public .welfare. This imports
the country’s welfare. And, a party
seeking this extraordinary remedy,
• under a rule equally familiar, must
come into court with clean hands.
Can one be said to come with
clean hands when the policy, meth
ods, and efforts he would maintain
may cause his hands to ble imbrued
in the blood of the demoralized and
defeated armies of his countrymen?
If, by such propaganda American
soldiers may be convinced that they
are the victims of lawless and un
constitutional oppression, vain in
deed will be the efforts to make
thajr deeds rival the glowing tradi
tions of their hero strain. On
the contrary, the world will behold
America’s degradation and shame,
the disintegration under fire of our
line of battle, the inglorious flight
of our defenders, like the recent
debacle of the Russian army,
brought about by methods much
the -same, the ultimate conquest of
our country, the destruction of Its
institutions and the perishing of
popular government on earth.
The preliminary injunction is de
nied.

301 men, of whom 720 were officers. The
Carso and Isonzo fronts tonight were
the most desperately fought over points
in all Europe.
On the west front, French troops
successfully fought off repeated attacks
by the German crown prince’s picked
troops, seeking recapture of ground
| taken in a sudden and violent assault
on the Chemin des Dames. A brief ar

and aerial offensive over a mile front
during the night. French planes,
massed in force, swept low over the
German trenches raking them with fire
and small shells. The official word was
that the French carried all objectives
of the attack.
On the British front a continuous se

effect in slowing tip the fighting. Gun |
fire wafc incessant all along the llns, but I
infantry fighting was confined to local

in his report to the war office tonight.
Since the morning of July 31. when
the British assault opened, 10,697 Ger
mans have been captured by the Brit
ish. Haig stated.
The Italian successes may have a
very great effect on elaborate plans
which the Germans have been making
recently for an offensive against the
Russiain line around Riga. Swiss dis
patches report insistent demands from
Vienna on Berfln for reinforcements and
wholesale withdrawals of Austria*
troops from the northern front to re
place exhausted and battered forces oil
the Balnsizza plateau and the highland
on the road to Trieste. At both places
the Italian command is unceasingly
bombarding and battering with its in
fantry.
Famous Hand Wine Is
Destroyed By Sheriff;
20,000 Gallons Involved
CAMILLA, Ga., Aug. 21.—The wine
belonging to the late Mr. J. L. Hand ‘
has been destroyed by Sheriff C. D.
Crow and his deputies.
It is said that there was about 20,000 ;
gallons of the wine which has been
stored in a cellar at Pelham, for the
past twelve or fifteen years.
The sheriff had been under a tempor- '
ary restraining order granted by Judge
Harrell, of the superior court, at the
request of the Hand executors, who
were endeavoring to have the wine sold ;
and the proceeds given to the University
of Georgia, which is said to have been
the wish of the late Mr. Hand. How
ever, lhe injunction was dismissed re- j
cently by Judge Harrell, and the legis- j
lature having failed to make disposal j
of the affair, there was nothing else for
the sheriff to do under the prohibition
laws but to destroy the wine.
A sewer had been tapped which ran
into the cellar of the building where
the wine was stored, and the contents
of the several hundred barrels were
poured into the sewer. The wipe was .
manufactured at Pelham from grapes .
grown on the farms of Mr. Hand about
fifteen years ago. Up to the time of 1
Mr. Hand’s death there was no law j
aainst the keeping of the wine in the ■
state, but soon after his death the bone! i
dry law was enacted and went into es- |
feet. The work of destroying the wine
was begun Thursday afternoon by Sher
iff Crow, and the job completed today.

At Home to Their Friends
In Apartment in Siberia
PETROGRAD, Sept. I.—Nicholas Ro- j
mansff, the former emperor of Russia,
and his family are now living in a I
fourteen-room apartment on the second I
floor of a large old-fashioned house at;
Tcholsk, Siberia, according to reports 1
just reaching Petrograd. The house *s :
without a garden and the only way of I
getting fresh air is from a small bal- j
cony.
The day of the Romanoffs' arrival was |
a holiday and few persons saw the new- j
comers except for a small crowd which
had assembled to watch a priest con
duct the usual ceremony of blessing the
house for its new tenants. The guards
of the former royal family are mainly
cavaliers of the Order of St. George,
and fusiliers, and the family is virtually
under the same mode of life as at I
Tsarskoe-Selo.

POSTUM
“There’s a Reason”
SEE IF THE CHILD'S
TONGUE IS COATED
If cross, feverish, constipated,
give “California Syrup of
Figs”
*
Look at the tongue. Mother! If coated,
it is a sure sign that your little one’s
stomach, liver and bowels need a gentle,
thorough cleansing at once.
When peevish, cross, listless, pale,
doesn’t sleep, doesn’t eat or act natu
rally, or is feverish, stomach sour, breath
bad; has stomach-ache, sore throat,
diarrhoea, full of cold, give a teaspoonful
of “California Syrup of Figs,” and *in a
few houbs all the foul, constipated
waste, undigested food and sour bile
gently moves out of its little bowels
without griping, and you have a well,
playful child again.
You’ needn’t coax sick children to take
this harmless “fruit laxative;" they love
its delicious taste, and it always makes
them feel splendid.
Ask your druggist for a 50-cent bottle
of "California Syrup of Figs,” which
has directions for babies, children of all
ages and for grown-ups plainly on the
bottle. Beware of counterfeits sold here.
To be surd you get the genuine, ask to
see that it is made by "California Fig
Syrup Company.” Refuse any other kind
with contempt.—(Advt.)
