\ A A 10 TfF. ATLANTA GEORGIAN ANT) NEWS. HI IS GOING UP Experts Say Country Will Have Worst Shortage of Beef in Its History. KBW YORK. Aug. 18—Thl# coun try will experience next winter the create?*! shortage of beef In Its his tory- Prices, which already have ad vanced 25 to 50 per cent In a year, are to be 10 to 13 per cent higher by January 1. Meat will sell at un heard of figures. The representative of a big packer In Chicago said yesterday: “Forty cents a pound for the choice cuts seem a certainty. 45 cents in a prob ability. and even 50 cents a possibility before spring.” George L. McCarthy, proprietor of The National Provlsloner, said to day that the stock population In the United States is more depleted at present than It has been at any pre vious time In ten years. That in Itself, Mr. McCarthy said, is sufficient cause for very high retail prices. But the drought in Kansas, Oklahoma and the Southwest has aggravated the situa tion bad before, till it may now be called alarming. Sky-High Price# by Midwinter. The expert buyer for Richard Web her, a butcher with an extensive busl ness In New York, didn't hesitate to say that price# are going sky-high by midwinter The average price paid by the laborer for beef to-day. he srtld, Is 18 cents a pound. The same cuts will cost 18 cents or more In a few months The same authority predicted thai the average price of sirloin steaks will creep up 8 cents In as many months, while the average price of porterhouse steaks will advance 4 to 5 cents In the same period. The corn-killing drought in Kansas and neighboring States has deprived the cattle-raising sections of feed for their stock. Fodder remains, but the corn Itself, necessary to fatten the steers for market, will have to bn shipped into sections of country naturally grain exporters, at an ex pense that will preclude the idea of satisfactory profit by cattle raisers at anything near the present prices For ten days a steady rush of cat tle to the big stock markets of the Middle West has been in progress The raisers can’t afford fo hold and feed the cattle. In many instances, cows gre being sent to market in such numbers that the generation of calves due next spring will be much less than the average. Rushed to the Slaughter Houses. Cattle receipts in the Western mar kets first rose above the normal when the hot weather killed the i>asturage. Carload after carload of steers went to Chicago and Kansas City. The general movement to the slaughter houses is still in progress. In the first three days of the present week 129,000 cattle were received at th« Western markets, nearly as many as in the entire week a year ago The same condition to a certain ex tent holds true in the hog market, and receipts have been nearly doubled since the drought. The general situation is about as bad In the East. Mr. McCarthy Maid that farmers over a great part of the East are selling cattle Just now that they would be holding had the hay crop been up to the standard Live stock prices are naturally slumping while the markets are load ed with stock. But in spite of the fact that steers and hogs are costing the packers less than at any time for several months no reduction in the wholesale price of meats is an nounoed, and the housewife has ob tained no benefits because of the pres ent abnormal conditions In the mar kets. The drought, according to stock men, will result in immense profits for the packers because of their ability to buy now’ and when the rattle raisers are at a disadvantage and to eet prices this winter when there is a scarcity in the cattle receipts.

Manager George of the Atlanta Announces List—Season Opens With Musical Show Sept. 3. The first harbinger of the new the atrical season has reached Atlanta In the person of Homer C. George, man ager of the Atlanta Theater. Re turning from his vacation, he stopped by the New' York office of Klaw & Er- langer and crowded his grip with news of coming shows. The Shuberts and the Frohmans will be well rep resented. The attractive playhouse will open with a predominance of musical shows as usual. According to Mr. George, the first breaths of fall that come with September nights are not sufficiently bracing for anything ‘heavy,” and the first productions will be bright ^.nd breezy. “Mary's Lamb” will be the opener, September 3. “Little Miss Fix-it,” "who” caused much talk in New York, will be the second, and “The Merry Countess,” one of the big hits of the Shuberts, will come third. An early big attraction will be Otis Harlan in a Savage production of “Little Boy Blue.” Favorites Are Coming. In the gulaxy of stars who are to perform to Atlanta audiences Mr. George points out a number of new ones to the South. Of course many favorites will return. To the trained theatergoer no announcement could produce a keener thrill than the state ment that Rose Stahl, who delighted no many in the “Chorus Lady,” will come early In her new play, “Maggie Pepper," and that William Faversham will appear in an all-star cast of “Julius Caesar ” But to take them as they come—Mr. George announces the tentative pro gram in this wise: Miss Annie Russell, three nights, the minstrels of A1 G. Field, followed it month later by a reunion of the Dockstader and Primrose shows. In ill come “More George Evans and then Nell O’Brien. Big Scenic Piay*. May Irwin is coming in November w-ith her big Cohan Theater success of last season. Robert Hilliard will appear as Detective William J. Burns in a thrilling drama. Early in De cember Klaw & Erlanger will pre sent that w’onderful scenic play, “Ben Hur,” for a week. “Fine Feathers,” a new Eugene Walters success, will be here In De- eember, as well as the memorial players from Stratford-on-Avon, pro ducing the drama as it was in Shake speare’s time. . And fascinating Mme. Nazimova is coming in “Bella Donna.” and the wonderful Mme. Pavlowa, the Russian dancer, with “her special permit from the Czar" to leave that country. Henry Miller is coming in "The Rainbow” and Otis Skinner in “Kis met,” said to be his greatest suc cess. And one of the most important of all the announcements is that the un usual play, “Damaged Goods,” by the famous French dramatist, Briex, will be shown. It probably created more comment than any play presented in New York last season, its first pro duction being semi-private, under the auspices of a medical organiza tion. Other popular plays booked are: "Within the Law,” "Ready Mon ey.” “Romance,” “Peg o’ My Heart,” “The Conspiracy,” “Little Women,” "Blue Bird,” “The Girl of My Dreams,” "Broadway Jones," “The Governor's Lady,” “Stop Thief,” and others.

JACKSON, Aug. 18.—Sunday night marked the closing session of the In- 1 dian Springs Holiness camp meeting, j and what was generally declared to have been the in* 1 successful meet ing in the history or* the association. DENVER, Aug. 18.—Wilbur F. Cannon, former pure food commis sioner, has rushed to the defense of the X-ray and slit skirts w’ith these five reasons: The X-ray and slit skirts permit circulation of air about the body. Th© absence of many underskirts relieves the strain on the hips and prevents kidney trouble. Absence of the usual amount of clothes makes frequent bathing nec essary and frequent bathing opens the pores and makes the bath quite healthy.
