production and distribution of a nan

day's special session assigned them.
The steadily growing interest in the
live slock industry makes this meet
ing of more than pacing interest. No
live stock industry can prosper un
less the ravages from infectious an !
contagious diseases arc held in cheek,
and such results < an only be ohtaine i
by proper co-operation under the di

such duties
Organized by half a dozen men a*
Fort Worth seventeen years ago, this
association has grown to be the larg
est and most powerful organization
of its kind in the world, and Dr
Uahnsen is its head and front.
Jain* l> Price, Htate Commissioner
of Agriculture, is intensely interested
in the present State Porn Flubs Show.
He* entity in Washington Pity, Fom-
m:“.■-•loner Pri* e gave to the Washing
ton Post h significant and illuminat
ing editorial on the subject of the
hoys’ corn clubs in Georgia, which all
members of the same will be glad to
rcfld, no doubt particularly in con-
lie* lion w ith tin* big Porn Flubs 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 dollars and cents, per
haps but they have done an Infinite
ly greater work in inspiring our farm
ers genfrally to attempt Improved
methods, with the result that land
which two years ago was producing
$2T» un acre is now producing corn
values in fv < ss of $100.
“What dura this mean to Georgia?
Simply that Its banks are now prac
tically overflowing with funds,
whereas a year ago money couln not
be obtained on collateral of the most
gilt-edged variety, duo purely to thf*,
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 Agti
cult ure’has not confined Its efforts to
helping raise corn. It has shown us
the broad advantage to be obtained
through a diversification of crops,
and has instilled Into the minds of
our farmers the fact that they should
not sell iheir grain, but feed It to
■too* To demonstrate this, ih*- i'*-d
oral department is now organizing pig
clubs, and buyers from the Phica^o
packing houses are touring the South
to purchase cattle.
"Cotton, of course, in still our nta
pie, and while the Georgia cotton
crop this year will be worth $175,000,-
000, our corn crop will be worth at
least $100,000,000, and, besides, we
will have a heavy hay crop and large
harvests of other grains. As the agri
cultural representative of the State,
I am urging the j>eopl« 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 the farm
ers of the South and nation."

important city in the country.
Two large firms here to-day an
nounced that markets would be
opened in various parts of the city,
and eggs would he offered for *11
cents a dozen. The retail price pre

cents.
Dispatches from Detroit, St. Paul,
Kansas City, Raltimofe, Washington
and a dozen other large cities told of
thousands of clubwomen voting to
buy no eggs until the price dropped
to at least .'12 cents a dozen.
Federal District Attorney Wilker-

Grand Jury investigation of charges
against men who owned stored eggs
in Chicago, with a view to bringing
criminal prosecution. The District
Attorney has promised to bring about
prosecution of the Chicago Hotter and

TO BE GIVEN BY
Congressman Dudley M Hughes, of
the Twelfth District, w r ho spent a few
hours In Atlanta recently on his way
to Washington, believes the present
session of Fongress the first regular
session of the same Ik likely to run
well along to July before adjourn
ment.
Mr. Hughes expects currency legD
laflon to be effected eventually, much
after the fashion desired by the Pres
ident and his close advisers, but he
does not expect it to come precipi
tately.
There is a very great deal of hon
est difference of opinion in Fongress,
so Mr. Hughes thinks, with regard
to currency legislation, and these
differences will have to he thrashed
out thoroughly and with due consid
eration for everybody, and that will
take time,
Just what direction the anti-trust
campaign will take the Fongressmaa
from the Twelfth hardly seemed able
to predict. He expects the Admin
istration to he very vigorous, if not
actually radical, in that direction,
but progress will be necessarily slow,
never! heless.
There line been some talk of oppo
sition to Mr. Hughes in the Twelfth,
hut apparently the suggestion is not
worrying the Congressman particu
larly He says he intends remaining
at his post of duty in Washington,
doing the best he knows how for hi*
constituents, and will cross no re-
election bridges before he gets to
them.

"White Slave" at
Lyric Well Acted.
It is quite refreshing to pee. in
these days of swift-acting, compact
drama, a play of the old line, with
its leisurely unfolding and its disre
gard of. unities. Like "The White
Slave at tUe Lyric Monday night.
The pl«y i* a picturesque old melo
drama. and is unique by reason of its
long-continued vogue, if for nothing
else.
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 acted, and there
were comedy bits and specialties, in
cluding first of all a negro string
band, that were ^leasing.
The play tells a story of life in the
South of tS37. Lisa, the white slave,
is regarded as an octoroon, although
she really is the legitimate daughter
of i wealthy plantation owner. The
poor creature is beset by as many
tribulations as a writer of melodrama
could concoct, but all ends well.
Lillian l>»e Anderson was a suffi
ciently pathetic Lisa, and Leo A Ken
nedy as £1a> Britton, her hero-lover,
supplemented her work capably. The
cast altogether was well balanced.
