New York, June B.-(Speoial)-The market was slow and irregular with heavy selling early in tho day followed by an advance on low temperatures in Texas.
 Aggressive disposition in either diree- tion is lacking and changes of any mo- ment are considered unlikely until the crop is thought beyond the danger point
 Outside interest is ct a low ebb. The weekly bureau report is colorless.

School Moneys in This State

Jefferson county receives this year s192,231 from the state educational fund, but the superintendent of edu- cation does not stop to state how much the tax payers in Jefferson pay to- ward sustaining the schools of Lowndes and fully 30 more of the 67 counties of the state.
 This is unjust taxation and when a new constitution is made for the state every county should be required to stand on its own bottom. It is neither wise nor just to tax the people of Jefferson county for schools that they know little about, especially when the money received in some of them is handled without much regard to equal educational facilities for all. The race for big sums of school money in many of these counties leads to padded school censuses, and in some of them it also leads to various other inequal- ities. All this would cease if every county were compelled by law to foot its own school bills. Some of the counties are now receiving more school and old soldier money than they

IN HOTEL LOBBIES
Fine Iron ore,

T am delighted to know that the core taken from the ore property be- low Oxmoor controlled by a party oi Birmingham men proved to be of such high quality" said man who owns nc interest in any mineral land, but who is well known in business circles. For several years past it has been thought by many that most of the really good red ore was owned by the large iron companies. But this large body of land in Shades valley referred to has enough ore on 1t, I am told, to justify the erection of several blast furnaces. The four men who control the ore tract just ex- amined are J. J. shannon. W. A. Porter and J. H. and R. M. McDonough.
 The other large body of high class self-fluxing undeveloped ore in Shades valley embraces about 2000 acres and contains enough ore to run large bat tery of furnaces for many long years. 1t is safe to predict that within the next two or three years several new large furnaces will be in operation neai Birmin gham"

DANCE HALLS IN DENVER
From the Survey.

Apparently convinced that the at- tendance of unchaperoned minors at moving picture shows, public dance halls and skating rinks is in some way related to juvenile crime, the council of the city and county of Denver, Col, Mast month passed an ordinance regu- lating these and other places of amuse- ments to help carry the provisions of the law into effect. It is made unlaws full to permit any person under IS, not accompanied by a parent or natural guardian, to attend public dances after 10 o'clock In the evening; it is made unlawful for any such person, with or without a guardian. to attend any danee hail or ball where liquor may be had Children under 16, unless &C., companied by a guardian, cannot ate tend any moving picture show or place of public amusement after p. m.
 Friends of the juvenile court in Dem yer are hopeful that the ordinance will be a material aid in protecting young people from the evils of unguided pleasure hunting.
 For the better enforcement of the or- dinance and for the protection of the youth of the city and county of Den- yer" the position of inspector of pub lic amusements- Is created. The ire and police board is to appoint two such officers, one man and one woman; the former must be member of the regu- lar police force.

THE BASEBALL INDUSTRY
 BY BILL VINES.

This country is right now baseball mad. world series Is being played and the weeks games were, and probably the rest of them will be, as full of thrills as father of twins is of importance
 A baseball star of the first, second or third magnitude can make more money than United States senator who is not directly connected with predatory wealth. A member of one of the teams playing for the worlds championship will draw down enough of the filthy lucre from the result of these games to cremate wet dog. The total receipts. for the games run into so many dazzling figures that 1t makes the presidential campaign con tributions look like tubercular warts. Pol tics is forgotten; business Is forgotten; wife and family are forbotten. and for the time being the whole blamed works is either at the ball game or standing on It's hind legs barking at a score board. Theaanewspapers give the games more space than they give to Teddy Roosevelt, Taft and Wilson all put together. Rube Marquard or Joe Wood had the Clapp committee backed off the boards and fad ed to a whisper. The tariff issue is not of as much importance as the hole fin doughnut compared with the issue between the Giants and the Red Sox. If you buttonhole a statesman and ask him what he thinks the outcome will be of the struggle between the Balkans and the Turks, he will want to know s'who pitched?' The game is so popular that it has at- tracted great men from all walks of life. Particularly has it drawn on journalists. Some of our greatest writers are heroes of the diamond As proof of this one need only read Why the Giants Will Win the Worlds Series," by Christopher Mathewson, star pitcher for New York. It
 is very thrilling story full of scientific and pert observations concerning this burning issue. Then another story full of human interest is the one contributed by Iris Speaker on How I Won an Automobile. Though Born a Poor Boy Then Jeff Tesreau, a rising young author, hands us @Why Quit in the Seventh In- ming to Write This Story" and so on.
 What greater ambition can there be to spur the eager feet of the youth of the land than to become one of these great heroes who are more widely known than any general or admiral of the army or navy of their country?

Bread and Butter an Issue

New York has lost sight of the pres idential race because of the excitement over the action of it's hotels and res- taurants in charging 10 cents for the bread and butter served with each or der. The landlords say bread and but ter should no more be given away than oysters are, and this leads some to think that other additional charges will be forthcoming. The advance in the price of butter is declared to be the cause of the new bread and butter charge, and no doubt a pretext can be found for still more charges, but the actual cost of the bread and butter served is but cents, and surely that cost does not quite justify an addi- tion of 10 cents to the bill for meal. That charge means 30 cents a day, or $2.1O a week, and this is great deal to many person with linn tied income.
 There are, however, many hotels and restaurants in New York which have not put the new plan into oper- ation. Landlords as a rule are experi- menting with the scheme, and they may adopt "per person" plan while they let the bread and butter go un- charged for. The entire plan is in an unsettled state in the big city, and landlords throughout the country are watching the outcome of the move ment in New York. The decision in that town will not be without it's eff feet in other towns from one end of the country to the other.

A FEMALE MAIL
rom the Boston Globe.

From the Boston Globe.
 quick witted English suffragette who wished to have an interview with the first lord of the admiralty and who had been denied access to him, hit upon the novel scheme of getting her. self sent to his office in the shape of a human letter. She had herself tagged with card, weht to mail station and paid the required fee for the transmits sion of first class matter" and was sent to the office of the lord as let ter. The lords secretary received the letter graciously and invited her to take seat until wanted.
 The human letteY demanded to be de- livered to the lord. but the secretary replied that he usually took charge of the mail and in his judgment this par Acular letter could be deferred until another day. The human letter, seeing herself outwitted. very gracefully re- tired, acknowledging that all the wit is not on the side of the gentle sex. This seems to prove that even as you can lead horse to water but cannot make him drink, so can you send person a letter that will not get the ex- pected attention. Let's see, what do they call such letters? Aren't they called duns?
