WAS A GREAT SUCCESS

Friday night at st. Peters hall
Company L minstrels repeated the
program recently given to large
audience at the Grand opera house.
AS on the previous occasion the
performance was a gratifying success
in every particular. 1t was pro-
nounced even better than at the.
former presentation because of the
extra rehearsals and the one public
performance.
There was little change in the pro.
gram. Walter Nodler, who is absent
from the city was missed as one of
the leading comedians but his place
was we'll sustained by Smoky Miller
whosdid his stunts admirably. One
very pleasing attraction Friday night
was the Hymns of the Old Church
Choir" by Alton Robertson, who OBJ.
tanned a release from former en-
gagement for the night to sing at this
entertainment, for which the ladies
of the w. Guild We're very grateful.
DIR. Tinker Tinkle," by little Jean
cite School. the only girl on the pro.
gram, again came in for the fullest
measure of applause and she was pre-
scented with a very handsome bouquet.
The ladies' of Guild w. of st. Peters
Catholic church, under whose aus
pices the entertainment was given,
are very enthusiastic over the sue
cess of the affair, its entertaining
features and the financial returns.
Mrs. Joseph A. WEIGH, chairman of
the guild showed much gratitude to
the Company L boys and other young
men who voluntarily assisted them
greatly in preparing the stage and
aiding in its decoration They worked
manfully in this line, besides giving
one of the best performances ever
| enjoyed in the hall.
The stage was one of the prettiest
ever decorated in the hall. being sim
/ ple and very artistic. Nothing was
used in these decorations but Ameri-
can flags, drapery of national colors
and palms. There were close to 500
persons present, which was beyond
the expectations of the ladies of the
guild. and every one present showed
/ evidence of being remarkably well
entertained.

The Grain Market

CHICAGO, May IA fractional
gain over the close OF last Saturday
was recorded in the wheat market to-
day.
There was much bullishness during
the latter part Of the week, although
today's transactions showed more
readiness on the part of longs to sell.
The English market ignored the bull
ish reports from Russia, where snow
and frost have damaged the crop and
changes were governed by more opti-
mistic reports from this side.
A wet and colder forecast for the
corn states buoyed prices in that mar
ket today, but when willingness to
sell was shown, prices broke, frming
at the close when wheat steadied
The oats market was easy during
the entire week. Today there was
small rush to buy, but the bulge last
ed but a short time, several big houses
displaying disposition to sell. Wealth.
or promises are ideal for oats growing.
Provisions weakened today and
there was only moderate volume Of
trading.
July wheat gained one cent. closing
at 1874 today; September closed at
1885, u higher than at last satur-
days close July corn closed at TN,
a gain of ", and the September lost

oats each lost u, the former closing
at 53Ja today and the latter at 44c.
The Stock Market.
NEW YORK, May 11.-Financial
America in it's issue Monday will say:
Some important influence of which
the public had no knowledge. WAS the
dominating factor of the trading dur
ing the past week. All through the
period, although the bear element was
extremely aggressive, putting out
large lines of shorts, absorption was
evident and this became clear when
general upward movement started
Just before the week ended, on which
nearly all the declines following the
steel statement were recovered.
Some market readers had an idea
that there was too much forcing about
many of the upward movements and
they used the phrase that steam
roller was at work. These applied
more particularly to the advances eff
fected in Lehigh Valley, American
Can and American Beet Sugar. So
far as can be learned the stocks were
selected as bull features simply be-
cause they we're in scant supply and
buyers on advances had no reason to
fear any large holdings being un.
loaded. The three industrials estab-
lished new high records day after day
during the week. While numerous
other stocks were forced to a substan

Compulsory Insurance
Investment Bill
Senator Mann, McRae, Ga.

ARE you voter Of this State? If not, the
n other fellow needs you; we don't If you
are listen and think There never was time
when the voters ofGeorgia should stand together
as they should right notO---nOt tomorrow but right
now. Therefore, sit down right now, not tomor-
row, and write, telegraph or otherwise commu-
nicate, at my expense and by all means right
nou, with your senator or legislator, especially
with the judiciary Committee, Senator Mann,
of McRae Ca, who is driving the bill, asoSen-
ators Sheppard, Blalock, Marshall, Edwards,
Davis, Dickerson, Crawford, Roberts, Judge
Bush, Ennis, Felker and Copeland, to see that
the Compulsory Insurance Investment bill is
passed this session.
This bill, after successive postponements,
was first heard last Wednesday, when one after
another left the committee room, and finally
COL Roberts, of DouglasviIle, chairman of the
committee, lett the offering no. ex-
cuse, thereby destroying the quorum; how
ever the remaining committee set the time for
hearing nothing else but this bill Thursday after
noon at 2 O'clock when COL Roberts, the
same man, exclaimed, THANK God! the ayes
have it! when his vote determined the post
ponement Of this measure until next Monday
afternoon.
What his motive was nobody asked, but
everybody presumed, which, of course looks like
it's destruction to me. So far hearing of this
bill has been denied. Why?
Clark Howell who is brother-in-law to
represe ntative Of an Eastern Company,
wrote a letter to this committee to post
pone action and it done. What have
the Eastern Companies got to do with GEORGIA
legislation concerning the interest and welfare
of Georgia citizenship? We will never amount
to anything if we listen to this kind of sugges-
ton. Why is it that Mr.. Howell takes the
stand against Southern Insurance Companies?

grandfather were born IN Cenrnia therefnrn

my interest is here because | am Georgian.
consequently am talking to you about what
know not what | Think and what know IS bv
experience, assure you.
Read and reread the following four pages
to know what this bill means to Georgia as it
has meant to Texas See to it that your rep
resentatives whether in senate or house
support this measure; it means millions of dollars
invested IN Georgia securities, and Justly So
If you are good enough for Eastern com
panles to insure your securities are good enough
for them to loan money on. Why should they
lmpoverlsh your community when the interest
earning IN Georgia is greater than that of their
community? Southern Insurance Companies
will and do invest their funds in Southern secu-
rites Why not they?
This Bill only requires Eastern companies
to invest IN Georgia securities one third of their
premium income, or the amount you pay them
leaving two thirds to invest at home.
There are 81 old line companies in the
fourteen Southern states, and there are even
157 companies other than Southern The
total assets of 81 Southern companies amount
to "A millions; the total assets of all companies
amount to practically four billion dollars Every
time we get one dollar QUO of this territory
they get one hundred dollars therefore, if pref
erence IS SHOWN, let 1t be to local companies
In other words, make laws for Georgia, not
New England.
1t is fact that Eastern companies do not
invest in Georgia securities as they should, there
fore make them do it. The average interest
earning, according to their sworn statement, is
4l8 per cent; wouIdn' you apply for some at
per cent? Make them do tive only ask for
one third Of what we give them; that fair, isn't
it? Lose no time but insist upon the passage

A bill has passed congress which ap-
propriates the sun of 100000 to be
used by the department of agriculture
in farm demonstration work. In speak
ing of this department of governmental
work, one who is interested in the better
farming association work in North
Dakota states that there is little ques-
ton but that eventually this work will
be entirely financed by the state and
national government. Steps are being
now taken in that direction. The par
ticular business of the office of farm
management of the department of agri-
culture, is to put the scientific product
of government experts IN such shape
that the farmer of average intelligence
everywhere can apply it with a little
help from the field agents of the Office.
Another highly important and practical
work of this Office is to search out sue.
cessful farmers in all sections of the
country, study their methods.

Nothing could better express what
should be the sentiment of Cavalier
county voters, relative to the quarter
mill tax levy for the county fair, than
than the following taken from the edi-
torial page of last weeks Hannah Moon;
"Of all the institutions in the county
to promote better farming conditions
the Cavalier county fair association is a
leader. Since it was established three
year ago as a o profit participating
stock company it has survived in spite
of many discouragements. Each year
the fair is better than the former. The
question of levying an annual tax not to
exceed d mill will be submitted to the
voters at the election this month.
Every rate payer in the county should
cheerfully vote Eyes" to this question.
The fair cannot run without financial
support. 1t is run under an economic
management. Competition is limited
ITO the county. 1t is a county institution
in the strictest sense of the word and is
entitled to county support"

Congress has passed and President
Taft has signed a bill that will change
the homestead laws materially. 1t is
thought that the new order will keep
residents of the United States at home
and will be of much benefit to North
Dakota and Minnesota. The new law
permits entrymen on public lands to
prove up claims in three instead Of five
allowing five months absen cesfrom
the claim each year, and reducing the
acreage to be cultivated on large claims
from eighty to forty acres.

North Dakota's spelling contest, in
which n representative from each
county will participate, probably will be
held in October in connection with the
North Dakota Educational association
meeting in Grand Forks. The plans
for the contest are in the hands of a
committee Of the county superinten
dents association, a branch of the
general organization. Great interest is
taken in this event by the school child
zen of the state, and by the teachers,
there is a strong possibility that every
county in the state will be represented
at the contest there.
