HOT MOT TRIM COST OF LIVING Bumper Crop Expec-ted to Bring Material Reduction in Cost of Food Products. By B C. FORBES. NEW YORK. Max 29 -Good news can he conveyed to the American family. Prices of all kinds of meat, as well as butter, milk and cheese should come down. Articles of clothing made from cotton should also move in the same di rection. while if woolens do not decline the public will have reason to feel cha grined over the outcome of tariff revi sion W hat crop, think you, ranks next in value to King Corn? Cotton? No M'heat- Not at all. It is hay. The Wall Street breed of farmer seldom realizes this Indeed, city dwellers hear so little about this inconspicuous product that they do not grasp how intimately it af fects their household bill. This year's grass crop promises to pass all records, thanks to the abundance of moisture. Now. with an abnormal supply of green grass and hay. th*» farmer will be able to raise plenty of cattle to supplx all do mestic requirements and the needs of for eign customers. You will recall 1f you have anything to do with household accounts that every time the butcher adds a few < ents more to his charge for meat he lays all the blame at the door of Nature “there is a great scarcity of fodder owing to the drouth. ’ he conveniently explains. The same reason is given when butter and milk soar skyward. Hence, it should and no doubt will follow that a bumper crop of grass spells lower prices for these com modities of every-day use. Sunshine Will Bring Harvests. Yeoman service has latterly been ren dered the United States by King Sol. A few weeks of such feather as has recently been enjoyed will work wonders in creat ing agricultural wealth, upon which our prosperity so largely depends I*et us have harvests of unprecedented size, and no amount of political wrangling will hold the country hack, at least not in the near future, although the political por tends are grave enough to cause capital to pause The extreme desirability of more gen erous yields of farm products will be realized when it is noted that while food stuffs show an increase of less than two per cent for the last decade, the rise in value has been some SO per rent. Popula tion has gone up 27 per cent in the same period. Financiers are striving heroically to re main unmoved by the political storms now raging. But their equanimity does not mean Indifference. One morning there will probably be a real old-fash ioned scare, and then security values will temporarily tumble headlong. Outlook Politically. Wall Street can not foresee the outcome of the present many-sided struggle. Rut here is ope financial reading of the situa tion: If President Taft receives the Republi can nomination. Mr. Roosevelt will .found a new party, and the split will result in the election of the Democratic candidate. If. on the other hand. Mr. Roosevelt wins at Chicago and the Democrats select a worthy leader, a close fight is expected. No confidences arc betrayed by saying that Wall Street believes Mr. Roosevelt's bark is much worse than his bite would actually be if elected Nor is capital, after its experience with the Republicans during the last ten years, greatly afraid of Democratic rule The truth Is. that many of America's strongest men of affairs are veering round to the view, already forced upon British employers, that the people will not rest satisfied until the relations between capi tal and labor, between the rich and the poor, have undergone substantial modifi cation. A more equitable distribution of profits, a rearrangement of taxation, less discriminatory tariff schedules are among the demands that will not be silenced. Day of the Progressives. For good or for evil - and surely it is fnr good "progressive" legislation is being forced upon the statute books, not only of this country, but of the most en lightened nations of Europe. Certain far sighted capitalists are now urging their colleagues not to throw themselves vainly against the tide, but rather to endeavor, by fair means, to direct the tide into le gitimate and non-ruinotts channels. Business is doing a little better. The warmer weather has stimulated purchas ing of goods at retail. Prospects of boun teous crops are causing the railroads to order enormous quantities of material, and prices are a shade higher In one or two lines Traffic even now is of heavy volume, but net earnings are not cor respondingly satisfactory Railway firemen in the East and freight handlers in the West are agitating for an advance in wages, and the selection of ar bitrators for the Eastern engine drivers' dispute has had to be passed up to gov ernment officials. Labor troubles, there fore. are not an impossibility Anthracite Producers Gam. Anthracite producers have simply thrown the burden of the increase In wages upon the defenseless public. In deed. they have gone further: they have added a few million dollars extra, so they are better off than under the old sched ule. It is naively explained that the ad ditional twenty-five cents a ton can not be ’evird upon certain sizes, as there would be competition from bituminous coal, but the householder, cornered, must use anthracite, and must pay whatever price the producers please to name. In face of the fortunes the anthracite Interests have been piling up for years, would they not better reconsider their action? Such conduct is not conducive tn harmonious relations between the ‘haves and ’he "have tints. The stock market’s irregular movements are a fairly accurate reflex. of current sen timent. Bonds are not easily distributed reall' distributed that is. as distinct from merely 'placed.’’ ESTABLISHED IBGI The Loxvry National Bank OF ATLANTA, GA.

PUPILSUNDEHFED BRITON CHARGES Feeding of Boys in Public School Scandalous. Says Woman Reformer. LONDON. May 29.—Great interest has been aroused among public school masters and parents all over the coun try by the question of the alleged in adequate or improper feeding of public school boys, which is to come up for discussipn at the National Food Re form association’s conference at- the Guildhall on Monday next. Mrs. M. H. Bailey, the wife'of the vicar of Christ church, Forest Hill, who has made a special study of EngMsh public school education and life, is con vinced that the entire system is over ripe for reform, and makes a sweeping indictment of the food provided at th average school. Too Little Food and Rest. "The public school boy has not only too much exercise and too-.little rest." said Mrs. Bailey yesterday, "but he does not ,receive sufficient food for lite physical and mental work required of him. "The plentiful table of his earlier yea's, which lie needs even more when at school, is a thing of the past. His breakfast is meager, while his dinner is’insufficient’, generally of poor quality apd lacking in nutrition, and too often composed of made-up dishes, with a minimum of green vegetables and. an essence of fresh fruit, which are so essential for the purity of his blood. "The substantial meal about 7 o'clock that his sisters almost Invariably enjoy at their schools Is nearly always lack ing in his ease. 12 Cents a Meal With Profit. ~"WOaT' can you Expect. however." Mrs. Bailey continued, “when at some of our publlb schools the bursar re ceives a. percentage for keeping down the bills below a certain sum. while in others twelve cents is the recognized bursar's allowance for a boy’s break fast and tea, including his own profits? "I make no plea for luxuries in the way of eating, merely for the four square- meals a day, which any healthy, growing boy can comfortably put away, and which are amply paid for by his parents. No gardener brings a flowe <>i fruit to perfection by stinting it of moisture, nourishment a nd'sunshine. '.'T-he feeding of boys at public schools today is. 1 consider, nothing short of a scandal." PANIC AS LINERS CRASH NEAR LAND NEW YORK, May 29. The Porto Rican liner Berwind, outward bound, todaj rammed the French line steam- | ship Hudson, coming in from Bordeaux, ' about a tnile off Sixty-ninth street, ■ Brooklyn, tearing a big hole in the port bow of-the Hudson Eighty-one persons, many of them women, who were on board the Hud son. remembering the Titanic disaster, were thrown into a panic when the crash occurred. They rushed up on deck in scant attire, begging for life boats to be lowered, and it was with difficulty that memtiers of the crew re strained some from leaping overboard. Meantime Captain G. David had pointed the Hudson's nose toward the Long Island railroad docks at the foot of Sixty-fifth street, Brooklyn, and was proceeding ahead at full speed. He did not know what damage had been done to the Hudson and was taking no chances on having her sink. A stfange feature of the' collision, which will be investigated. Is that it occurred in ' clear weather and that Captain David saw the Berwind when she was some distance away. He be lieves that Captain Christopher of the Berwind misunderstood his signal oi Obeyed it too late. The Porto Rican boat shot straight, ahead to the Hudson's bow and then came the crash—a crash that threw some >'f the French liner's passengers out of their berths. A hole six feet square was torn in the Hudson's bow, well above the water line. No water was taken in by the Hud son. hut Captain David did not wait to investigate the damage. He made for the nearest landing place. JAIL AND FINE FOR DOING WILD WEST ACT AT FIVE POINTS .1 V.
