MEAT PROFITS Nil n ;.
But the Wholesalers Boost Not
Likely to Affect Re-
tail Prices.
Local Dealers Say Good Beef Is Elk
tremely Hard to
Get.

Altho the retail meat dealers of Min
have not made a dollar in the
last ninety days and are now facing the
possibility Of a sharp rise in prices Of
packing house products, there will be no
particular rise In retail prices here this
summer.
This is the declaration of two of the
largest retail meat dealers in the city.
81 am willing to bet that not a. butcher
in Minneapolis has made a dollar in the
last ninety days. said a Nicollet avenue
meat dealer this morning. 1.-THE margin
of profits on meats is always small but
it practically disappeared three months
ago and we haven't seen 1t since. Prices
Of packing-house products have not only
gone up-we can't get any good cattle.
There Is plenty Of the CRASHED beef that
is only good for canning, but the corn-fed
stock isn't in the yards and isn't in
sight. .-.... g 500 ..-
! IT have just seen a letter addressed to
the local branch of one of the big packers
and sent from Kansas City which says
that they can not get beef and that meats
Of all kinds are going up Pork. has al
ready gone up several cents, and have
taken this packing house mans tip to the
extent of ordering ahead all the good beef
they can send me, which isn't much.
eve don't want to raise prices. but
what are you going to do? We ought to
protect our margin Of profit. We may put
in two kinds Of neats-one kind with the
price attached, which is Of the best quail
ty, and another kind which can be had
for a few cents less and Is certainly not
worth as much
Said another big retail meat dealer:
eve don't expect to make anything In
the summer months. Last July our profit
| on this big plant was just 1924. I have
advices from New York and Chicago
which state that meats are going up, but
think we will make no marked advance
in price, Good corn-fed or CRASHED cat

weeks and then we may be able to buy
! so that we can make a little money

Minneapolis police are securing the city

Hurley at Wahpeton, N. D., last night
It is believed that he came here.
Hurley was passenger on the Orton-
vile train of the Milwaukee road and the
negro was stealing q. ride on the top Of
a coach. At Wahpeton the conductor dis

He did so grumblingly. Just as the train
was ready to pull out, the negro fired at
the conductor. The bullet few wide and

The train was held, but the negro had

The returns from the school census
are coming in and disclose some facts
that will be of decided interest to those
who watch the trend Of educational
matters. Many of the counties are
losing heavily in school population,
and others are gaining. The most
startling fact is the aocking of people
to the factory towns. Many north
Georgia counties show decrease in
school population. Governor Terrell's
home county of Merriwether shows
falling off of three hundred since the
school census of five years ago. There
seems to be drift to south Georgia.
Bullock county shows an increase OF
fifteen hundred and LoWndes county
shows an increase of 1,l50. The les
son of these figures is that the people
are leaving those districts that are
purely agricultural. The next question
is. are the children attending school
in the factory towns? The impression
prevails that they are not. AS mat
ter of fact, only 70 per cent OF the chill
dren of the state are enrolled IN the
schools, and of those enrolled large
number drop out. About 80 per cent
of the children of Georgia may be said
to attend school regularly.
The inference is that the decrease Is
due to the fact that the children have
gone from the country TO the factory
towns in order to work in the mills,
and the supposition is that not many
of such children attend any kind Of
school anywhere.
This revelation by the school census
demonstrates very clearly the truth

and force of the argument made at the
recent session of the legislature by
the advocates of the child labor bill
that the towns are being built up at
the expense of the country, though
many of the children themselves, who
are the innocent instruments of such a
condition, deriye no educational bene-
fit or intellectual advantage. The part
that the mill men are said to have TAX
en- the matter is thus described:
"They would go to the rural district,
offer to move the family to the factory
by paying their transportation, giving
them sure but slender wages, and by
making their children immediate
wage-earners at a tender age-chil-
dreu who were too young to do any
work on the farm could be given
places in the factories. This tempta-
tion, by putting a premium on child
labor, induced great many families
to make the move to the cities.
The New York Sun has recently
published an article on this subject,
and declares that the withdrawal OF
white labor from the plantations to
the mills and factories is serious
matter. In North Carolina, according
to a sober report by prominent citi-
zen of that state, "nearly $4,000 people
have left farms to go into cotton mills
and other manufacturing plants, and
$1,000 more have left farms to go into
factories, such as cotton seed oil mills,
saw mills, furniture factories, y etc.
This diversion of labor from the farms,
he assumes, extends to other cotton
states.

DRESSED AS A WOMAN.
Negro in Augusta Had Masquer.
AIDED Among Families.

Something of a sensation has been
created in Augusta by the discovery
that a negro prisoner, who was con-
victed as Alice Johnson and sent to
the county farm to work among ehe fe-
male prisoners there, is in fact man
who has been masquerading as wo-
man. The regulations of the county
home impose a bath as the first step,
and in tais way the fraud was discov'
cred.
The negro has been working as a
woman servant, and has been masquer'
aiding in different families of Augusta
in this way, and there is much indig'
nation felt over the matter.
He was promptly transferred from
the home to the chaingang, and it is
likely his time will be increased for
this newly discovered offense.

AN ASTOUNDING STATEMENT
Sensational RumOr Concerning
the Gold Reserve.

The Nebraska Independent gives
currency to very sensational rumor
concerning the S15O.0OO,0OO gold re-
serve. 1t says that the charge is made
that the gold reserve which the daily
reports of the treasury represent to be
in the treasury is not there at all, but
every dollar of it has been turned over
to the banks. So far there has been
no proof submitted to establish the
fact, but the conclusion is arrived at
from observing the known constant
and persistent violation of the law by
the secretary of the treasury, which
grows more bold every day. Ii the
secretary will violate the law so open
" and boldly as he is known to have
done 10 several ways why should he
not also violate it by transferring this
