,!BmM D Price, Stat
< ’ommissioner
of ,A grlculture, in Intensely Interested
in the present State f'om Chiba Show
Recently in Washington City, Com-
misaloner Prh e gave to the Washing-
ion Post a significant and Illuminat
ing editorial on the subject of the
boys’ corn clubs in Georgia, which all
members of the same will be glad to
read, no doubt, particularly In con -
no lion with the big Corn Clubs Show
now under way.
Mr. Price said
The boy farmers not only have
Increased the value of our corn crop
more than $100,000 which isn't so
very much, in dollm- end cents, per
haps hut they have done an Infinite
ly greater work In inspiring our farm
ers generally to attempt Improved
methods, with the result that land
which two years ago was producing
$2f. an acre is now producing corn
va nes In excess of $100.
"Whai does rhis mean to Georgia''
Simply that Its banks ate now prac
tically overflowing with funds,
whereas a year ago money could not
be obtained on collateral of the most
gilt-edged variety, due purely to the
fact that there was none on deposit
What Is true of Georgia is true In a
measure of all other Southern States
"The Federal Department of Agri
culture has not confined ith efforts to
helping raise corn. Jt has shown us
the broad advantage to be obtained
through a diversification of (tops,
and has instilled Into the minds of
our farmers the fact that they should
not sell their grain, but feed it to
stock. To demonstrate this, the Fed
eral department is now organizing \t\v
clubs, and buyers from the Ghlca°<
packing houses are touring the South
to purchase cattle.
"Cotton, of course, is still our sty
pie. and while the Georgia cotton
crop this year will Ire worth $175,000
000, our torn crop will be worth at
least $100,000,000, and. besides we
will have a heavy hav crop and large
harvests of other grains As the agri
cultural representative of the State,
I am urging tire people to study and
to follow the methods taught by the
Federal Department of Agriculture,
and we are now working hand In hand
with It.
"Too high praise can not be given
this great national department for the
work it Is doing to benefit tho farm
ers of the South and nation - '
itary milk supply have each a half
day's special session assigned them.
The steadily grow ing interest In the
live stock industry makes this meet
ing of more than passing interest. No
live stoi k Industry can prosper un
less ;»e ravages from infectious and
contagious diseases are held in check,
arid Midi results an only be obtain* 1
by proper co-operation under the di
rection of men especially trained lor
such duties
Organized by half a dozen men a’
Fort Worth seventeen years ago, this
aeso' lation has grown to be the larg
est ann mosi powerful organization
of its kind in the world, and Dr
Bahnsen Is Its head and front.

CHICAGO, Dec 2. HJgg prices
wavered to-day as the boycott, start
ed mote than a week ago In Chicago.
Continued to spread to nearly every
j ,mportant city In the country.
Two large firms here to-day an
nounced that markets would he
opened in various parts of the city,
and eggs would be offered for 31
cents a dozen. The retail price pre
dominating in Chicago to-day was 48
cents.
Dispatches from Detroit, St. Pauk
Kansas City, Baltimore. Washington
and a dozen other large cities told of
thousands of clubwomen voting to
buy no eggs until the price dropped
to at least 32 rents a dozen.
Federal District Attorney Wilker-
son has begun plans for a sweeping
Grand Jury Investigation of charges
against men who owned stored eggs
in Chicago, with a view to bringing
' riminal prosecution. The District
Attorney has promised to bring about
prosecution of the Chicago Butter and
Egg Board a#, members of a trust in
restraint of trade before the end of
this we**k.

It Is almost beyond the hounds of

As a spectacle and as such "Ben-
Hur” make* its strongest bid for glory

tre ingenious contrivances to bring
iboat certain startling effects. as In
the instance of the shipwreck scene
and the chariot race There are en
sembles, particularly toward the last
of the play, which create the Impres
sion of something like grandeur of the
stirring, inspiring sort. There are the
two scenes, for instance. At the very
last, on< showing the awful Vale of
Hinnotn, to which lepers are con
signed, and the other revealing Mount
Olivet and its great crowd waiting
to meet the Messiah
Suggest (on Does Much.
Roth these scenes have that qualify
of grandsui'. It must be admitted,
however, thnt the effect Is produced
as much by suggestion as by visuali
zation. In these two last scenes, too.
there Is a dramatic power that Is Im
pelling
F’oncernlng "Ren Mur” as a play,
however, it is to lie questioned wheth
er too many long, exacting explana
tory speeches and too much turbulent
acting make anything for the com
fort of the audience Lew Wallace’s
novel, however, you naturallv would
* xpet t to lend itself to a forced, high-
tension drama.
The acting of Its kind was good
Thomas Holding playing the part of
Ren-Mur. was admirably adapted to
that heroic part, by reason of per
sonal appearance, voice and ability ’o
act well His enunciation was per
feet That is considerably to h1s cred
it. when you consider that he hardly
spoke a ilne during the three hours
and a half that was not Impassioned
and full of fire.
Cast Is Strong.
And as much can not d»e ssid of sll
the iast
Virginia Howell was a sufficiently
effective !r.»s and Interpreted the
character satisfactorily. However,
the character, to begin with, is rath
er impossible. Still that criticism
might apply to several of General
VVa 1 ace’s creations
Arthur Linden as Mcssnle. Walter

TO BE GIVEN BY
Congressman Dudley M Hughes, of
the Twelfth District, who spent a few
hours In Atl i/ita recently on hie way
t<> Washington, believes the present
session of Congress the first regular
session of the same is likely lo run
well along to July before adjourn
ment.
Mr. Hughes exper ts currency legis
lation to be effected eventually, much
after the fashion desired by the Pr«$s-
Ident and his dose advisers, but h<
does not expect it to com£ precipi
tately.
There s a very great deal of hon
est difference of ophlon in Congress,
so Mr Hughes thinks, with regard
to currency legislation, and these
differences will have to be thrashed
out thoroughly and with due consid
eration for everybody, and that will
take time.
Just what direction the anti-truat
campaign will take the Congressman
from the Twelfth hardly seemed able
to predict. He expects the Admin
istration to he very vigorous, if not
actually radical, in that direction,
hut progress will he necessarily slow,
never! heless.
There has been some talk of oppo
sition to Mr. Hughes in the Twelfth,
but apparently the suggestion is not
worrying the Congressman particu
larly He says he intends remaining
at his post of dut.v in Washington,
doing the nest he knows how for his
constituents, and will cross no re-
election bridges before he gets to
them.

"The suggestion thai Governor
Blease Is to have a walk-over' In
his race for the United Statef Sen
ate, which statement I have noticed
in the press here and there of late,**
said a prominent South Carolinan tj-
day "is all a mistake a hlgfi radical
mistake. On the contrary. Bleaae 1s
going to have the very hardest. tfm«*
of his career getting elected over the
present Senator. Ellison Smith.
"B1en«e has a large following In
South Carolina, and lie has been able
to hold It together mighly well, but It
alone can not elect him It must be
skillfully combined with other ele
ments to get by with a load like
Blease ”
Rlease has rather overdone the
thing, too, of late particularly In the
matter of pardoning red-handed crim
inals bv the wholesale, and turning
them loose on the State. Thousands
of the best people of the Palmetto
State are determined that Rlease shall
not misrepresent It in the highest
position within the gift of the people
''Blease has managed to bluff his
wav along in large measure so far,
but his bluffing days are over South
Carolina Is nearing the end of Rlease-
Isrn mark that prediction! Ellison
Smith may not be the grandest Sen
ator ever elected to Congress from
South < arolina. but he is going back
to the Senate over Blease going back

The United States Live Stor k Sani
tary Association, a national organi
zation of officials in charge of live
stock sanitary control in each of the
different States and those employed
by the Federal Government. Is now in
session in Chicago.
Dr. Peter F. Bahnsen. <>f the Geor
gia Department of Agriculture, presi
dent of the association, is presiding
at the sessions. »
A vast amount of important busi
ness is up for consideration this \ear.
and a special session is set aside for
an extended consideration of nog
cholera, the manufacture of hog chol
era serum and Its distribution The
suivpression of tuberculosis among
live stock, tick eradication and the
Forsyth Bill Has
Several Good Turns.
After Miss Orford and her wonder
ful elephants have been exploited as
the week’s attraction at the Forsyth
Theater, to the exclusion of other
things. It comes as a rather pleasant
surprise that there should he some
thing' besides the pachyderm per
formance that really has elements of
excellence.
Tlier**. for Instance, is the work of
.Miss Norton and Paul Nicholson 1n a
sketch of Miss Norton’s own crea-
fon thn: she Is pleased to call a
“dramatb cartoon." All of it being
pleasing, there are certain lines and
certain business in the sketch that
drove Monday’s audience to enthu-
"I Wouldn't Look Like That Again for
All the World.”
Thin people suffer a good deal of em
barrassment and ridicule
The plump. well-formed man or
woman is a magnet; Protone makes you
plump, strong, well-formed, normal;
puts color in your cheeks, a happy
twinkle in your eye and a fine poise
to your whole body. Tt keeps you that
way. It is the most scientific and ef
fective flesh and strength builder so
far known, barring none.
The regular $1.00 size of Protone is
for sale by all druggists, or will be
mailed direct, upon receipt of price.
A guarantee goes in every package.
Your money back if not satisfied. The
new Protone justifies us, from now on,
in making this guarantee.
The Protone Company. 5300 Protone
Bldg . Detroit. Mich., will send to any
one a free 50c package of Protone. if
they will inclose 10c in stamps or sil
ver to help cover postage. They will
also send with it full instructions and
their book on "Why You Are Thin.”
The regular $1.00 size of Protone is
for sale in Atlanta by Jacobs' Ten
Stores. No free packages from drug
gists.
RAY
slastic applauding The sketch is the
story of a voting couple who are try
ing to keep house in a single room,
and It la not warped out of all human
proportions.
Miss Orford’s Elephants, however,
probably deserve the title as the
headline attraction. Two elephants
as large as any ever seen In the cir
cus and a smaller elephant present a
startling appearance on the stage.
And If the blase show goers w ho al
ways leave during the last act had
waited until the end they would have
seen several exhibitions of remarka
ble animal Intelligence. Even the
girls who make their supercilious way
up the aisles while the last act is in
progress It is quite a habit with a
vaudeville audience—have never seen
anything better
Miss Ruth Roye was a surprise, too.
She was practically unknown In At
lanta. but she overcame that handi
cap with her first song. The young
woman is a promising comedienne.
The three Vans have a unique
sketch, "From Stage Carpenter to
Ackter," which is as full of laughs
as a vaudeville audience should re
quire.

Klaw & Erlanger’s Stupendous
It Is quite refreshing to see in
these days of swift-acting, compact
drama, a play of the old line, with
its leisurely urtfolding and its disre
gard of unities Like "The White
Slave" at the Lyric Monday night.
The play is a picturesque old melo
drama, and is unique by reason of its
long-continued vogue, if for nothing
elee.
It has six acts and seven tableaux,
and a lengthy dramatis personae, be
sides other orthodox features. But
the big crowd that saw it on opening
night greeted its melodrama vocif
erously. It was well aide*!, and there
were comedy bits and specialties, In
cluding first of all a negro string
band, that were pleasing
The play tells a story of life in the
South of 1837. Lisa, tho white slave,
is regarded as »n octoroon, although
site really is the legitimate daughter
of a wealthy plantation owner. The
poor creature is beset by as many
tribulations as a writer of melodrama
could concoct, but all ends well.
Lillian la*e Anderson was a suffi
ciently pathetic Lisa, and Leo A Ken
nedy. as Clay Britton, her hero-lover,
supplemented her work capably The
.is* al.ugethei was well balanced
Robert Campbell. son of the author, is
manage: of the company ai the Lyric.
Because of its extreme purity,
delicate emollient properties and
refreshing fragrance. Assisted
by Cuticura Ointment it is
equally effective in the treat
ment of heat rashes, itchings,
rritations and chafings.
