Women of Savannah
Plan League to Solve
The Servant Problem
Only Good Negroes Will Be Al
lowed to Register-None But
These Will Be Hired.

SAVANNAH, GA, Sept 1O.-At a
meeting at the armory September Is
to organize the Housekeepers Protec-
tive league, it is probabl there will
be present not only a majority Of the
housekeepers of Savannah, but a mum
Der from other Georgia cities.
Since the announcement of the fact
that local housekeepers have decided to
inaugurate an active campaign for an
adjustment OF the servant problem, 81
interest in the project has spread with
remarkable rapidity Among those who
have written commencing the scheme
are a number of south Georgia house
keepers
1t is the purpose Of those back of the
movement to have all the housekeep-
ers Of Savannah Join in a protective
association and establish a central en-
ployment bureau, under the supervision
OF the league, with an experienced man
ager in charge. All the good servants
will be registered al this bureau The
members Of the league win be pledged
to employ no servants who are not 50
registered. The fact that worthless ne
groes could no longer obtain employ
ment would BE- calculated TO have a dis
tinct beneficial effect upon the race.

 MAY-DANCE

The Winslow Boys Band an- nounce that they will give a May Dance at the Winslow Opera House Wednesday evening. May 22. The proceeds of this ball will be used to defray the expences oi the Band Boys, of 30, to Hol brook for a concert at that town on May 23.
 The dances given by the Band Boys in the past have always been very successful and the boys always managed to get good crowd to attend. but, they will make a special effort to entertain the dancers neyt Wednesday evening. The best musicians that can be procured in Navajo coun ty will furnish music for the occasion. The price of admission will be $1.O0 for gentlemen and ladies free.
 No doubt the boys will receive enough patronage to pay their expenses for their trip to Hol- brook and if this their first trip out of town Is successful, it is the intention of Prof. Ellis to take the boys on a tour to Flag staff, Williams and the Grand Canyon in the near future.

Stock Market

Kansas City, Stock Yards, May 13. 1912. Because Chicago got too many cattle last week, and that market broke 40 to 65 cents. the very favorable supply situation here for sellers was without result as market strengthen CT. Prime steers gained about 10 cents, but middle grades, including she stuff and yearlings, closed 10 to 25 lower. Stockers and feeders gained 10 to l5 cents at the start of the week, and held it to the finish. The big break at Chica- go had the effect of stopping the run there, and receipts there are only two thirds up to expectations to-day, and prices are higher. Sales here are steady to shade higher to-day. new high figure for the year was made to-day. $S 85, paid for some hereford steers weighing 1340 pounds. These steers cost $5 50 last fall, and were fed ensil- age, four pounds of cottonseed meal. and third of a bushel of corn per day on the final lap of their finishing course. They gained two pounds per day since last fall, and made plenty of money. Another lot of steers sold to- jay at $50, which cost $4.65 here last July. Prime steers of big weight would set figure close to nine dollars. Quarantine steers sold at $500 to SS 30 to-day, Texas grass steers sold in the last week at $5 50 to $6I5, Montana hay fed steers steers S 45 to $7 s5, Colorado ~ugar mill steers at $7.75 to $8.45, top COWS $7 25, stockers $5.25 to $7 %, feed CTS $6.25 to $7.35.
 Famine hog supplies last week result d in rise of 9 cents, though the week finished below the best time. Local prices are equal to. Chicago and St. Louis nearly every day. The market opened steady to-day, but outside influ- ence caused sympathetic decline here ,f to 10 cents at the close, which was not warranted by the meagre run of 7,5OO head here. Top today is $7.S21S. 'ulk $7 50 to $7S0 Except in 1910, re- ;eipts of hogs at the eleven leading markets of the country combined are unning less now than corresponding ime in any year since 1906.
