THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS.
TIME FOR MAKING
NOMINATIONS FOR
CONTEST EXTENDED
Nominations for The Georgian and American pony outfit contest may
be made up to midnight of June 30.
The time, which was to have expired Saturday night, has been ex
tended for one month.
Developments of the past few days have led the contest manager to
the belief that there are a great many wide-awake and active boys and
girls who will not be able to enter until school has been dismissed for the
summer. It seems, too, that the full advantages of the offer have been
overlooked in many cases.
There is an excellent opportunity here for real hustlers to jump right
in now and win a pony outfit. There is not a contestant whose total vote
may not be overcome in an energetic day’s work.
For another month, therefore, the boys and girls of Atlanta, of Geor
gia and of the South outside of Georgia have the way left open whereby
they may enter and win one of the handsomest prizes ever offered by a
newspaper.
I nominate, as a candidate in The Hearst’s Sunday Ameri
can and Atlanta Georgian Pony Outfit Contest:

EXPERT ADVISES
British Medical Expert Says
Colonel's Choice and Modera
tion in Liquor Are Excellent.
LONDON, May 31.—Colonel Roose
velt’s habits* in the matter of alco
holic beverages are commented on
by a medical writer in The Dally Mail,
who thinks the former President has
set an example which many of his
countrymen could follow to their ad
vantage. He holds that teetotalism
is the ideal habit, but apart there
from it would be hard to Improve on
the Colonel's choice and moderation.
“His very occasional glass of sher
ry," the physician saye, "can be left
out of account entirely as far as
any action of the alcohol contained
In It on the system is concerned.
Has Praise for Sherry.
"As a matter of fact, the tonic and
appetizing effects of a small glass
of sherry would, with most adults of
normal digestion, greatly outweigh
its disadvantages as an alcoholic bev
erage. The same may be said of the
glass or two of Madeira sometimes
taken at dinner.
"In Colonel Roosevelt’s white wine
and water the amount of alcohol is
again practically negligible. No un
prejudiced medical man could cavil
at a maximum of two glasses of
champagne.
Slam for Mixed Drinks.
"At banquets the ex-President has
shown wh’dom b“ ills avoidance of
mixed drinks. The cocktail and the
mint julep are striking examples of
this form of alcohol stimulant to
which no stomach can be subjected
without more or less damage.
"If every one who occasionally likes
something stronger than water with
his meals used the same good sense
in choosing his drinks and the same
moderation as Colonel Roosevelt the
liquor problem would disappear auto
matically."

The world s visible supply of cotton
this week aggregated 4,222.092 bales, as
compared with 4.376,370 bales last week
and 4,150,014 hales for the correspond
ing week last year. Of which the Amer
ican bales this week totaled 2,696,092
bales; last week 2,840,370; last year
3,021,014 bales.
The into-sight since September 1 Is
12,830.050 bales, against 12,747,367 lust
year for the corresponding period and
14,841,696 hales the year before, when
the "bumper crop" was produced. There
was 83,463 bales brought into sight
during the past week, ending Friday,

for reason of the scarcity in the better
class. Prices have varied from %c lower
on common kinds to a possible %c higher
on this week’s tops, which were hardly

OPINION ON GRAIN.
CHICAGO. May 31— Bartlett, Frazier
& Co.: Wheat—We are inclined to look
for a higher market to-day, as short
sellers will probably be disinclined to go
over Sunday with conditions in the
Southwest as they presen; th .mselves
this morning.
Corn—The mr.rke; main a as its
undertone on firnneys. Weather condi
tions continue fi -ie for the growing crop.
Oats— With the passing of the May
delivery to-day the market will lack
any possible strength, which has been
afforded the deferred futures from the
strength in that month. There
siderable difference of opinion regarding
die amount of damage to crop thus far.
Recent conditions In the way of weather
should demonstrate very shortly
vhether the crop has improved during
he past ten days.
Provisions—The market shows a firm
undertone and on all good recessions we
believe purchases should be made.
AUTO KILLS ONE; TWO DYING.

RAINS HAVE MATERIALLY
BENEFITED WHEAT CROP
ST LOUIS, May 31— Modern Miller
says:
"Rains have fallen In the dry area of
the soft winter wheat belt and have ma
terially benefited the condition of the
crop Because of the deterioration of
the crop on account of the dry. hot
weather, many localities do not promise
much more than a normal yield.
“In Southwestern Kansas, parts of Ok
lahoma and Southwestern Missouri, the
prolonged drouth has caused the plant to
develop thin growth and sickly color,
but in the greater part of the hard win
ter wheat region promise is for an aver
age outturn. In parts of Indiana and
Illinois, crop heading short.
"Cutting of wheat will begin in Texas
the firsi week In June, with indications
that the quality will be fine. In the
other Southern States the harvest will
begin about June 15."
SNOW SAYS OATS ACREAGE
DECREASE ABOUT 775,000
CHICAGO, May 31. R. W. Snow says;
“My reports to date from country
agents indicate a decrease in oats acre
age of about 775,000 acres. Apparently
the average condition will be the lowest
since 1907. The prospects are good
in Iowa, Nebraska and the North
western States, but decidedly poor
In Ohio, Indiana. Illinois, Missouri
and Kansas. The June report is usually
the highest of the season ami It looks as
If this report may not forecast much
if anything above 1,000,000,000 bushels,
against a crop last year of 1,419,000,000."

CASH RECEIPTS INCREASED,
SAY DRY GOODS MERCHANTS
Marshall Field & Co., in their weekly
1 review of the dry goods trade, say:
| “Cash receipts during the week have
r un considerably ahead of the same pe
riod a year ago. This is a favorable
indication in that merchants are in posi
tion to take advantage of time discounts
on a larger volume of merchandise than
was distributed during the first half of
1912. Orders continue heavy on lines
j for future delivery.
“Much interest has centered on prep
aration for the pre-inventory sale sched
uled for the early part of the coming
week. All departments will show mer
chandise at prices that will give dealers
an opportunity to secure attractive of
ferings for June and July sales.
‘Manufacturers of woolen dress goods
will have no reason for complaint for
some time to come, as many of them
are refusing reorders for delivery sooner
than October and November 1. On cot
ton dress goods mills are well sold up
until September and do not show a will
ingness to accept orders on the present
basis.”
