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.

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.

By TARLETON COLLIER It Is almost beyond the hounds of possibility for a stage production o oe a pleading ape* facie and at the -ame time « pleasing drama. “F’.en- Hur,” which opened at the Atlanta Monday night, being the ope fai> of being the other As a spectacle and as such "Ben- Hur” make* its strongest bid for glory --the production is rather fine There 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.

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.

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.

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.

She was practically unknown In At lanta. but she overcame that handi cap with her first song. The young woman is a promising comedienne.

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.
