TJ1E ATLANTA GEORGIAN AN1) NEWS,
LEADER IN GREAT PONY
CONTEST. A GIRL. HAS
CLIMBED TO 100,000
Mias Fannie Mae Cook, of District Four in The Georgian and Amer
ican Pony Contest, has earned the distinction of being the first contest
ant to reach the 100,000 mark. Her vote to-day stands at fust this figure,
leaving a wide, but not hopeless, breach of 39,760 votes between her and J
her nearest rival, Miss Florence Greene.
( harles L. Stevens, in District Three, has passed the 80,000 mark. So
has Miss Rrftrt Harbour, in District Two. Many other contestants
have increased their strength greatly within the past few days
Mr. Y\hiteside, the man who picked out the ponies and brought them
here from Tennessee, says that any boy or girl in the contest who comes
to the stockyards now can be pretty sure of a ride.
The ponies are being exercised daily, hitched to the pretty buggies.
All that will be necessary will be for the contestants to ask to see The
Georgian an ( American ponies. Their whereabouts is so well known
now to all ti e attendants at the stockyards that the child will be di
rected without hesitation to the stables, and while Mr. Whiteside does
not guarantee that every one wiU get a ride, he ^oes say there’s an ex
cellent chance.

Brands Income Tax
As Sign of Anarchy
PARIS, June 3.—"It is a sign of
anarchy in any country when one
class of taxpayers are required to pay
an impost from which the others are
exonerated. The generous ambition
of the revolution of 1789 was to de
stroy all privileges."
In these words M. Yves Guyot crys
tallizes the wide protests against the
Government’s action this week In em
barking on a policy of income tax
legislation to moot the expenditure
occasioned by the new army meas
ures.

NEW YORK. June 3.- Firm cables
had u little bearing on the cotton mar
ket ut the opening to-day and first
prices ranged from unchanged to
points higher than Monday's close.
Traders here appeared to I)* 1 guided
more by the weather reports from the
belt rather than by the cables. Weather
conditions over night were as nice as
any one could desire.
The market held rather steady before
the rail, but immediately displayed con
siderable weakness when the South
turned u seller and from many points
• atne advices, claiming that conditions
were not so bad as indicated by the
Government report.
A Liverpool cable read: “Bureau dis
credited. but many have temporary ef
fect. Market will be lower if crop ac
counts continue favorable.’’
July seemed in active <1 err:and during
the first fifteen minutes, but quickly
showed depression through heavy offer
ings. dropping 10 points to 11.44. against
an opening of 11.54 August declined 4
points from the opening, while new crop
positions were under pressure and re
ceded some 4 to 7 points from the in
itial range.
Sentiment continues bearish and the
ring inclined to supply tlie market with
plenty of cotton. Offerings were ab
sorbed mainly by brokers with spot
house connection.

The New Orleans Times-Democrat
says: "The government confounded
them all. Prior to tHe promulgation of
the condition report, when the bear tal
ent expected 83 and the bull talent
feared 82, room trailers generally, but in
a small way, sold contracts short and
then advised their friends to do like
wise. The government figure, 79.1. in
dicating the condition of the crop on
May 25, spread momentary consterna
tion among shorts, and thereafter, most
of them attended strictly to their own
business, which, in the main, related to
the covering up of outstanding interest.
The Government s idea of the condition
of the crop ten days ago certainly does
not harmonize with the talent’s idea
to-day.
"On May 25 a lengthy period of dry
weather had not fully come to an end.
•Many sections were complaining of re
tarded germination, of the necessity for
repeated replanting, of a prospective
early start changed into a late start.
The talent knew all this, as the facts
had been exploited day after day. Then
the rains came and big crop expecta
tions took on renewed life Recently
most excellent reports have come in
from Texas and Oklahoma particularly
and from other sections as well. Under
the circumstances, the wish being father
the thought and current advices hav
ing inspired increasingly optimistic crop
views, the ring began to count on a
bureau figure of between 82 and 83.
Consequently. most operators were
sharply disappointed when the figures
came 79.1.

$2,000,000,000 Gold
Reserve Considered
WASHINGTON June 3.—For the
Treasury to build up a$2,000,000.000
gold reserve, exercise absolute con
trol over the currency and retire gold
certificates, greenbacks and national
bank notes is the plan now receiving
careful consideration from members
of the committee*- on banking cur
rency of both Houses.
Instead of a centra! association
having control of the currency, as
proposed by the National Monetary
Dommi®sion. a national res-rve divi
sion is established undtv exclusL*
control of the Treasury.
The comb is the fowl’s barometer of
health. A bright red comb means
health and vigor, while a dark or pur
ple comb means congestion of some
kind, and as the disease goes on. tip*
comb turns sickly pale to almost
white. Ho let your endeavors be to
maintain red combs on all your chick
ens.
You may not think it pays to go to
any trouble to prepare your poultry
for market, just so you get it then*
before it is spoiled. No greater mis
taken idea was ever entertained. If
you take extra care and pains In the
preparation you will poon be able to
command the extra price puch merit
demands, which will well repay for all
the extra trouble. On the other hand,
carelessness In preparation simply
puts your product into the hands of
the huckster at his prices. Which
class do you care to be found in?
The question is often asked, Which
color of eggs will command the best
prices In the average city market,
white or brown? Ordinarily there is
but little difference. Where extreme
care in handling is given the white
ones look mighty nice, but they show
soli much quicker than the brown
ones, so that with ordinary care thi
brown ones would look the best
Where one is willing to take the extra
care to keep them in condition and
place them on the market to private
customers the white ones w ill bring r.
little better price.
The hen enjoys her bath Just as
much as a man does, and better than
wme men do. but it is not the water
bath we have reference to, but the
much-talked-of dust bath. It is so
essential to the health of the hen. No
wise poultry man will neglect to pro
vide the spacious, liberally supplied
dust box.
It should be the poultryman’s aim
to get all the early hatched pullets
and the hens through moult to laying
before bad w eather sets in. when it is
but little trouble to keep them in con
dition for laying all winter, when eggs
are high, but if vou do not get them
started before the cold weather comes
on. the task is not an easy one. See
that they moult promptly by right
feeding. \J
The roosts of your poultry house
should be all upon a level and not
running higher and higher, as was thf
custom ir. olden times, for ever/
chicken in the house will very natur
ally decide to roost on the top roost,
where there will be weeping and wail
ing and Put them all on a level
and not very high from the floor, ex
cept. for the lightweight breeds, and
they will soon learn that they can
roost just as well at a moderate height
as they i an in the top of the house.
The roosts should all be movable, so
they can be tafcen out and cleaned
when necessary.
Of all the feeds and kinds of feed
look out for musty feed and cut it out
at all times. It is the poorest kind of
economy to try to work it in, perhaps
because you can buy it at a low price
It will prove disastrous in the end.
Poultry Shows.
There is no one thing that is of m
much advantage to the poultry Indus
try of this country as the local poul
try show. Those who do not stop . o
consider these little things in regard
to the poultry business have no id-M
of the influence that is exerted uponthe
community by the holding of a good
poultry show in the country town.
The whole community becomes en
thused and wakes up to the fact that
there is really such a thing as a good
’stock of poultry, and by talking with
the exhibitors they find that such
stock will lay more eggs and give a
great deal more meat for the food
consumed than will the high-flying
scrub stock of the farm.
They get it all down the line. They
become enthused so that there ‘s
really something doing on the old
farm. Things are stirred over, and it
is not long until some of the Id stock
is marketed and new stock takes its
place. For these reasons we lik*»
to see the local poultry show flourish.
It is a working factor for better poul
try, which means more and better
eggs for the consumer at a reduced
price.
We want to get in touch with all
these associations that are getting
things in shape for a fall show. Write
us. giving the date and the par
ticulars about it. We shall be glad to
publish all such, which will help you
to get it before the public, letting
them know what you intend to do.
Write us.
By CHARLES W. STORM.
NEW YORK, June 3. Strength in
London gave ('nnadian Pacific a gain
of 2% at the opening of the New York
stock market to-day, although after
ward this Issue lost part of its ad
vance. However, It continued as a
leader and practically dominated tin*
sentiment felt toward all active securi
ties.
The tone was nervous and uncertain
Reports that the slump in Uanadian Pa
cific, which sent it to a new low level,
nearly 76 points below its high record
of last summer, was taua?d by the con
stant calling of loans abroad, gave way
to the belief that, now that the Balkan
war Is over, the situation will steadily
improve.
Among the declines here were Ana
conda (’upper. %. United States Steel
common. V*: Utah Copper, % ; Southern
Pacific, %. Missouri Pacific. \: Great
Northern preferred, Vi: American Smelt
ing. '4. Union Pacific advanced
Southern Pacific recovered its loss and
advanced. Fractional gains were also
■cored by Amalgamated Copper and
St. Paul. Steel sold fractionally above
its low of yesterday, which was the
furtherest down Its price had been for
many months.
The curb market was irregular.
Americans in London were improved,
with the Harrimans the most active.
WICHITA KANS . June 3. - Far
mers and grain buyers in Southern
Kansas estimate that the growing
wheat has been set back 25 per cent
by the hot and dry weather of this
week. Each succeeding day is adding
to the loss.
It is feared thut unless a general
rain comes within a few days the 1913
crop will be 50 per cent short of pre
dictions made ten days ago.

Evangelists Start
Prison Reform Move
Resolutions calling on ministers to
make frequent visits to Georgia pris
ons and to join in a general effort to
have the entire prison system revised
have been approved by the Evangel
ical Ministers’ Union.
The preachers assert that no par
ticular attempt is made to improve the
moral condition of prisoners.
Adoption of the resolutions grew
out of a refusal to permit a minister
to hold services in one of the camps
except on Sundays.

«Y Co.: Wheat The map shows gener

Kansas precipitation rather general, but
chiefly of a showefy character Local
sentiment has become extremely bear

but we do not care to follow the decline.
Corn—Weather conditions over the

firm in their views and there is ap
parently very little long corn on the
market.

WHEAT PRICES WILL SOAR
UNLESS GOOD RAINS FALL
CHICAGO, June 3. The Inter-Ocean
says: "The bulls in wheat said that un
less the weather map to-day showed
heavier and more general rains than
were reported yesterday higher prices
are likely, although they admit that they
are not getting much help from the out
side public to bull the market
"Most of the local trade were out of
their wheat last night and a fair-sized
short interest created. To have the
smallest visible supply of corn for June
1 in over 34 years with the crop the
largest on record, is the most surprising
feature of the corn trade. The bulls
argue that it is greatly in their favor,
while the bears said it cut little figure,
as they believe that there are larger re
serves back in the country."
