One of the most serious aspects of
the high meat prices is the fact that
they bear most heavily on the very
class which is in greatest need of a
meat diet-the day laborers and low
wage workers generally. The idlers
and sedentary workers can get along
well enough without meat-fn0eed, the
more scientific authorities tell us that
these classes eat as a rule, entirely
too much meat-but the man who
works on the streets, in the foundries.
or performs hard N annual labor of any
kind that requires constant muscular
exertion, needs the flesh foods to make
the strength he spends daily And he
is the man who is hit hardest by the

The Basis of Prosperity.

According to the opinion of Edward
H. Hartman, the great railroad mag
nate, the basis of prosperity is not the
value of stocks and bonds, as has been
vigorously maintained by some, but
the product of the soil
Surprising as it may seem to those
who regard him as only an expert in
railroad finance, this wizard of Wall
Street looks to the seasons crops to
restore to the country its accustomed
prosperity, so suddenly interrupted
last fall
This country is all right" he said.
Everything is normal, and there is
no reason why we should not have
prosperity in plenty. The basis of
prosperity in every country is the
product of the soil, and the crops here
could hardly be better. Farmers are
contented; they have no mortgages to
pay. Their fences are built and the
land is producing all they need. Ev-
erything depends on that. / see no
reason for any business depression.
We are all right"
Mr.. Hartman realizes the fact that
crops must be raised before the rail-
roads can move Them that crops must
be produced before the country can
buy lumber and coal and iron for the
railroads to haul-and that the banks
and merchants in most sections of the
country must collect from the farm
ers before they can add their mite to
the general stimulus of trade.
Other business pursuits have their
bearings, of course, but agriculture is
the basis of wealth, and Mr.. Hartman
has only reiterated what most people
knew if they had only paused to medi
tate.

Odd FeHows Home.

At the meeting of the Mississippi
Grand Lodge of Odd Fellows, heidi
at Meridian this week, a resolution
was adopted urging contributions for
the construction of the Orphans Home
in Hattiesburg, and the building COM
mittee. which already has something
like $4,000 in cash on hand, was in
structed to ask for bids on the neces-
sary buildings.
1t is understood that an appeal will
be issued to those members who are
able to do so to donate $50 each for
the home, and it is hoped in this way
TO raise the remainder of the sum.
Another question discussed was the
adyisability of accepting donations o;
humber and material to go into the con-
struction of the home, and it was unan-
imously decided to take all such con.
tributions. whether from members or
friends OF the order.
This win give the people of Hatties-

SPOT COTTON
IS in DEMAND
Hearst News Service.

New Orleans, May 21.-There is.
continued good demand for spot cot
ton, largely on orders from eastern
and southern mills, but the amount
of business is small, owing to the fact
that this market is almost bare of de-
sirable offerings. Prices rule steady
at the board level. In sympathy with
the further break at Liverpool, the
local contract market opened down s
points today and fell away a few
points additional but bullish sentiment
was too strong for the shorts. At the
second call showed net advances OF
six points on July and two points on
new crop months.

the treetops, just like squirrels. Isn't
it awful? The only remedy for an all

HOMELESS CHILDREN
VIII Be Taken Into Waterbury
 Homes and Cared For.

Next Sunday representative of
 the Home for Destitute Children,
 Boston, will be at St Francis Xavier's
 church seeking homes for number
 of beautiful boys and girls. He will
 have the tots and with the right par ties it will be case of take your
 choice. The agent was at St Annes
 church a short time ago and found
 suitable homes for all the children
 he had to spare at that Iime It is
 thought that there will be a big scramble for the little ones who will
 come to St Francis Xavier's. rather
 Curtin talked encouragingly of the
 matter Sunday. These children, he
 said, can be taken into the homes
 with the assurance that their par ents will not come and claim them
 when they are able to do something for them, as too frequently happens
 when people take the offspring of fathers and mothers living in their own neighborhood Some of the children are spoken for already, and + is thought that when they get here there will be a scramble for them. Some want boys and others are on the lookout for girls. and between the whole of them they ought to be able to provide for as many as the agent will bring. It is good dis trict and not boy or girl brought into 1t seeking home should be per mitted to leave. Come now, think it over. What kind of a boy do you want? After you have had a peep at them who knows but one of them may remind you of the little fellow whom God called from you years ago and whose features are as familiar to you to-day as they were when you bent over his bier and kissed his silent lips for the last time. The same thing might be said with refer ence to the girls, so that next Sun day will be memorable day in the history of St Francis Xavier's parish.
