ANTI-PROHIBTTION NEWS.

Washington, May 27.-The status
Of the prohibition situation in various
parts Of the country, but especially in
the South, will be one of the subjects
considered at the fiftieth annual con-
vention of the United States Brewers
Association when it meets at Wash
ington on June s and 8. The situa-
ton as it exists in the various South
ern States has been thoroughly can
vassed by the officials Of the associa-
tion and lengthy reports will be made
on each State at the convention. The
reports will show that there has been
decided Improvement from the
brewers standpoint throughout the
South.
In Alabama, the recent spring cleo
tions resulted in an anti-prohibition
State ticket and legislature being
nominated, and in the defeat of the
prohibition constitutional amendment
and 1t Is believed at the next session
of the legislature in January State
wide prohibition will be repealed. In
Tennessee, Texas and Florida, the
brewers report, there has been a
change in sentiment and lively con-
tests are now being conducted be-
tween "drys" and "wets." In Okla
bition forces are about to make test
Of the question at a special election.
From $4,000 to 10000 persons have
signed call for a special election,
but Governor Haskell refused to call
the election. Recently, however, the
Supreme Court decided that the cleo
ton must be held, and a call prob
ably will be issued in the near future.
A report just issued by the depart
ment Of internal revenue for the
month Of March, 1910, shows a de-
cided improvement in the brewers sit
uation. In March Of this year the
barrel tax amounted to $4,993,793 as
compared with s4,079,222 in March
year ago, or an increase Of 22.4 per
cent. The beer sales for March, 1910,
were the heaviest for the same month
Of previous years, and show an in
crease of nearly s per cent. over the
largest March sales in 1907. The fol-
lowing table shows the amount Of

Americas Oldest Public School.

The sesqui-centennial of the Oldest
public school in America has just been
celebrated with appropriate ceremon-
les in Germantown, Pa, and the vast
debt which this country today owes
to free education makes the incident
ione of more than mere local or tran
sient interest
on April 21. 1760-sixteen years
before the Revoltuion-the corner
stone of the institution was laid.
In the autumn following it was
opened to pupils. The first years en-
rollment showed that 60 of these were
English and 20 German. The debt OF
S5,G25 which rested upon the build
ing was raised by means of a lottery
In the early days it was not an un-
usual thing to resort to this method
of raising revenues. 1t was also quite
generally used in the sale and distrib-
ution of wild lands. But today it is
universally outlawed by public senti-
ment

Follow this advice.

Quaker Oats is the best of all foods;
Il Is also the cheapest. When such
men as Prof Fisher OF Yale University
and Sir James Criehton Browne,
Ii. ID. F. RS. of London spend the
best parts of their lives in studying
the great question of the nourishing
and strengthening qualities of different
foods, II is certain that their advice is
absolutely safe TO follow.
Professor Fisher found in his ex-
periments for testing the strength and
endurance Of athletes that the meat
eaters were exhausted long before the
men who were fed on such food as
Quaker Oats. The powers of endur-
ance OF the non-meat eaters were
about eight times those of the meat
eaters.

COTTON PRICES HIT SLIDE.
BETTER WEATHER AND LIOUI.
| DATION HAVE CAUSED DE-
| CLINE.
Some Few Bullish FactOrs-CrOp Con-
ditiOn Reported Bad-Statistical
Position Considered Strong BY
Many.

New York, May 27.-Better wealth
er and heavy liquidation partly, it is
supposed, for Patten interests have
sent cotton prices downward. Day
after day Wall street houses sold
heavily and this selling was generally
believed to be for some large bull in
terest. The recent decline of 10 cents
in wheat is attributed largely to the
selling by people who were long of
both wheat and cotton. Naturally
cotton suffered. But for valiant sup
port by leading Southern bulls the
decline might have been greater than
1t was. Warmer and clearer weather
throughout pretty much the whole
belt has in the general estimation i'm
proved the chances of the crop. Mean
time, too, spot markets at the South
have beeen quiet and the New York
stock has been steadily increasing,
giving rise to the impression that
bulls will have to take and pay for
more cotton than they originally ex-
pected to do. The spot sales at Liver
pool have decreased.
The dry goods trade in this coun-
try is In by no means as satisfactory
a state as could be desired Large ex-
ports or impending exports are re-
ported, but on basis, it is said, Of
sharp discounts under the July op-
ton, and to some the wobbly condition
of the Liverpool market at times has
seemed highly suggestive. From
some parts of Texas the advices are
to the effect that the crop outlook
could hardly be better. Large spot
interests have been heavy sellers of
both crops
On the other hand some reports
about the crop are distinctly bullish
and the statistical position is regard
ed by some close students of cotton
as strong. 1t is argued that the situ-
alton is precisely opposite from what
1t was a year ago when the cotton
trade was confronted with big stocks
of both raw and manufactured cotton
whereas now these stocks are either
actually small or very moderate, a
difference of a whole diameter be-
tween the situation now and that eX-
listing at this time in 1909 with the
single exception, it is true, that the
price is now nearly $40 a bale high
er than it was then.
The crucial question now is wheth-
er or not this increase in cost offsets
the bullish factors.
Meantime bulls contend that ideal
conditions are necessary tv produce
the bumper crop which seems neces-
sary to replenish the supplies of the
world, that the crop has had a poor
start, that the plant is small, that in
some States it is two to three weeks
late and that it is open to serious
question whether a crop of the need
ed size can be raised. Recently very
drastic liquidation has paved the way
for rally in prices which is not un-
likely to be accelerated by the govern
ment report which is to appear on
June 2. General sentiment here for
the moment, however, is bearish.

1t is recalled that the beer sales for
the fiscal year which ended June 80,
1909, showed a decrease Of 4.14 per
cent as compared with the previous
year, the total amount of bee:' sold
being 56,303,497 barrels Of 81 GAL
Ions. The beer sales for the 9 months
of the current fiscal year (Iune l,
1909 to March 81, 1910) shows an IN
crease of 4.6O per cent.
If the same ratio Of increase is
maintained during April, May and
June, not only will the decrease of

show an increase Of 145,777 barrels

NASHVILLE EX-MAYOR
ACCUSED OF CORTEMP'

Nashville, Tenn, Oct 6.-The Su-
preme Court of Tennessee yesterday
made a rule against James M. Head,
former Mayor of Nashville, citing him
to appear before the tribunal on Oc--'
tober II, at Knoxville, to answer the
charge of contempt and to show cause
why he should not be disbarred.
Ex-Mayor Head in a recent inter-
view appearing in Memphis daily,
is quoted as saying that a combina-
ton exists in the State among the
Republicans, corporate interests, the
manufacturers and brewers of the
State and the prohibition fanatics;
that the law prohibiting the manufac-
ture and sale of liquor in the State
would be declared unconstitutional by
the recently elected Supreme Court,
and that with this concession the
brewers and manufacturers of liquor
will be satisfied for the present.
The court charges that Mr.. Head is
guilty of misdemeanor and with con
duct inconsistent with the character
of an attorney. Mr.. Head is now
general counsel for the Warren Btu
lithic Company of Boston. He waG
recently importuned by administration
State leaders to run for Governor
against the fusion candidate, Capt
Ben Hooper, but declined.
