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." INCLUDING FURNISHINGS AND FIXTURES CANDY AND ORANGES FHICAGO, Dec 2 Kgg price! wavered to-day ns the boycott, start ed more than a week ago in Chicago, continued to spread to nearly every 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 dominating in Chicago to-day was 4S 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- 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 criminal prosecution. The District Attorney has promised to bring about prosecution of the Chicago Hotter and Kgg Hoard as members of a trust in restraint of trade before the end of this week By TARLETON COLLIER 'Monday‘night, being the one. fails of being the other.

Both these scenes have that rjuall'y of grandeur. It mu®t be Admitted, however, that the offer t If produ ••• I 8j much by suggestion as by visuali zation.

Concerning "Hen Hur" ns a plav, however, it is to be questioned wheth er too many long, exacting ex plana tory speeches and t«»• * much turbulent acting make anything for the -om- fort of the audience. Dew Wallace s novel, however, you naturally would expect to lend Itself to a forced, high- tension drama. The acting of Its kind was good. Thomas Holding, playing the part of Bsn-Hur, was admirably adapted to that heroic part, by reason of per sonaJ appearance, voir* and ability »© act well. H1s enunciation was per fect That is considerably to his cred it, when you consider that h* hardly spoke a line during the three hours and a half that was not impassioned and full of fire Cast Is Strong And as much can n<>t he said of all the cast Virginia Howell wss a sufficientSv effective Iras and Interpreted the character satisfactorily However, th® character, to begin with, is rath er impossible.

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.

PAUL NELL A North Georgia editor has sold his newspaper and entered the min istry, and a South Georgia editor has sold his newspaper and entered poli tics. The versatility of the amalgamated Georgia editorial mind is truly amaz ing! The United States IJve Stock San’- tary Association, a national organi zation <*f 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, of 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 year, 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 sketch is the Would Curb Storage To Cut Cost of Living slastlc applauding story of a young couple who are try ing to keep housa in a single room, and it is not warped out of all human proportions. Miss Orford’s Elephants, however. l-^Jhably deserve the title as the headline attraction. Two elephants as largo as any ever seen in the cir cus and a smaller elephant present a startling appearance on the stage And if the blase showgoers who al ways leave during the last act had waited until the end they would have soon 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. Fhe was practically unknown in At lanta. but she overcame that handi cap with her first song The young woman is a promising comedienne.
