SOCIETY
WHY NOT?

WHY NOT?
Upon a settee built for two,
And none too wide at that,
A Maid and Swain did bill and coo,
Near where her parents sat.
But Pa and Ma might just as well
Have been in Kankakee,
For DER the scene nights mantle fell
And nothing could they see.
A flash OF lightning bright as day
Brought trouble pretty quick,
And then two lovers in dismay
Dropped hands like heated brick.
Then presently from overhead
The answering thunder burst,
That isn't fair" the maiden said
1T ought to thunder first"

UNCLE SAM HEEDS
HOUSEWIVES CRY
CALLS HALT TO
SOUTHERN GROCERY COMPk.
NY-oFFlcERS MUST EXPLAIN.

Washington, June 29.-At last
the cry of theh ousewfe has been
heard. The government has cont
to her relief and has taken steps
to see that the prices of gro
ceries shall be lowered.
There has been much talk about
the higher cost of living. and no
one has appreciated it more than
the women who have noticed the
tightening of their pocketbooks
and of their market baskets at the
same time.
1t is all very well for the men
that the government should puT'
sue the tobacco trust, the Stand
ard oil, the plate glass the plumb
ers'. and all the other trusts but
these things interest the women
but little when they see the price
Of practically everything they want
on their breakfast and dinner tables
steadily climbing higher and ge,.
ting out of reach.
SO now the Southern grocery trust
has been brought to account and its
officers are to be forced to explain
the reason for the high prices which
it is alleged their combination has
maintained. 1t is believed that the
effect of the action will be felt by
other sections and will result in re-
stricting the activity of other sim
liar organizations.
Besides appealing to the court to
dissolve the association itself and
declare it illegal the government
asks that every one of its 500 mem
bers or more be forever prohibited
from entering into any agreement
among themselves as to the prices
at which they should sell the ne
cessities of life. The officers of the
association who are to be brought in
to court at birmingham, Alabama,
are:
President, Jos. II. McLaurin, OF
Florida; vice president l.. NJ
Hooper of Alabama. second vice
president, F. Z. Hashagen of North
Carolina; treasurer, C. W. Bartle
son of Florida. and secretary, Robert
Moore of Alabama, together fitf
nine others constituting the ao
visory board. Officers of two big gro
Gerry concerns in Birmingham ar,
also to be hauled to the bar.
They are alleged to be whole
sale grocers dealing in interstat,
commerce in sugar, cakes and crack
ers, soap and washing powders, ce
reals, soda and baking powders. salt
milk products, canned goods, syrup
and other necessities of life. The
are charged with being engaged il
a conspiracy to maintain prices
is alleged that hundreds of thous
ands of dollars have been distril
uted to members of the associatio
by its officers as a reward for mali
tanning prices and other sums hav
been assessed as fines and penaltie
for underselling the price list.
The association is a close corpC
ration and no outsider could get
without the consent of the othe
members.

ton hall We're beautifully decorated

OF the gods. Many unique games and
contests were played by the guests.
Two of the guests We're prize win
ners in the contests which carried
out the carnation effect. Mr.. Prater
and Walter Thompson carried home
the bouquet of carnations.
Music was furnished by Miss No
bic and Mr.. Nichols, which every
one appreciated.
A four course luncheon was served
and the guests began to depart
toward the wee small hours of
morning feeling that it was good to
be there. Miss Eaves proved her.
self a most charming hostess and
the entire assemblage are a unit in
hoping that she will entertain soon
again. Those present were Misses
Williams, Noble. Jennings, Joiner,
Kate Gait, Mrs. Prater, Chtwood,
Towery; Messrs. Prater, Light,

the intense pessimistic sentiment noted
heretofore but nevertheless, the situa-
tainties likely TO undermine confidence
In the stability OF prevailing security
prices. The Pennsylvania strike Is per.
haps. the most serious, az IL Is feared
that IL might force itself into a con-
dItion where labor will md the neces-
sity OF being liquidated, which IL has
so far escaped since the l9Oi panic
The outlook for the crops Will prop
ably have distinct bearing on the
course OF security prices, and the tenor
OF the news emanating from the north
west, together with that from the corn
belt is still such as To cause restraint
on the part OF the hnanclai lnterests.
The case OF money abroad and the
weakness OF foreign exchange may
have the effect OF inducing gold Inn
ports earlier than usual In fact, ~ Is
confidently predicted that some OF the
South African arrivals in London on
Monday will be secured for American
account Although call rates nave
been relatively easy, time rates nave
nevertheless displayed hardening
tendency. and IL seems to be the gem

ests that the demands from the interior
will be very large this fall.
