PROPOSED AMENDMENTS TO
THE IMMIGRATION LAW.

The New York State Board of
Alienists has given much study to
the problem OF remedying the ad-
mitted defects Of the present inn
migration law and now recommends
certain. amendments to the act of
February 20, 1907, which it feels
are practicable and would go far
toward relieving the existing con-
ditions.
The FIRST Of these recommended
tions is that it should.be unlawful
FOR any transportation company. to
bring insane persons into the
United States. This adds the in
sane to the list of persons idiots,
imbeciles, epileptics and those af-
ficted with. e., loathesome or dan
gerous contagious disease whose
exclusion is mandatory and for
bringing whom the transportation
company is fined $100. This is in
accordance with the idea of Mr.
Williams, Commissioner of Immi-
grafton for the Port Of New York,
who believes that bringing exclud-
able aliens into the United States
should be made to infict the great.
est possible financial loss On the
steamship companies.
Another provision is for the en-
ployment of qualified alienists con-
nected with the Public Health and
Marine Hospital Service at all
large ports Of entry, these alienists

training in, the diagnosis Of mental

sible for the mental examination.

nation, and no effort is made to
have it conducted by officers spe-
cially trained for the work. The
Board of Alienists rightly consid-
ers this the most important of its
recommendations.
Another amendment suggested
is.- that aliens who have entered
this country in violation of law, or
who have become public charges
from causes existing prior to land
ing. can be deported within five,
instead of three years as at present.
This change would afford each
State more protection against the
unlawful entry of aliens.
The last provision is for anew
section making it misdemeanor
for steamshiplcompany to refuse
passage to an alien from public
institution, provided that the alien
was originally brought III by that
company, that it is certified by the

Record Price of Living.

Statistics have been prepared to show
that it costs more to live in this the
month of June, 1912, than ever before
in the history Of the United States, eX-
cepting perhaps during war times.
Prices were high year ago, but
they are on the average nearly 10 per
cent higher this year according to trade
authorities quotations. Food products
are the highest on record. Meat, eggs,
butter, fish, coffee, tea, sugar, salt,
molasses, rice, beans, and. peas aver
age % per cent higher; wheat, corn,
oats, barley, rye, etc., 80 per cent
higher.
Fruits are the only things to eat that
have grown cheaper in the last lively e
months, but they were cheaper in 1910.
Leather products cost II per cent more
and chemicals and drugs Is per cent
more in the last twelve months. Tex
tile goods, however, are trifle cheap
err. The average advance IN food pro-
ducts is nearly 20 per cent, which means
that housewife must pay $500 to fill
a market basket that only cost her
S.. 90 to fill in June, 1911.

last years crop at the time of planting
a new. Our packers have not entirely
given up buying, but number are go
ing abont picking up bargains. Some
of the growers are so sick of their
holdings that they are willing to take
almost any price, and plenty of in
stances could be cited of crops going
for six, seven and eight cents which
their owners had earlier in the season
asked ten and eleven cents.
1t is pretty hard even to make a de-
cent guess as to the amount of tobacco
still held by the growers but it amounts
to a good many hundred acres, and be-
fore It is all sold, as, of course, it will
ba, working off gradually, the new crop
will be pretty we'll under way. So far
it is not possible to form any idea OF
what the tobacco now in the sweat is
apt to be- like. Some that has been
bulk-sweated has, upon inspection, been
found to be in good condition, showing
but little sign of black rot. No nat
ural-sweated goods have so far been
examined, nor is this likely to be done
until June or even later. 1t is about
this tobacco that most concern is felt.

cOmpanied Mr.. and Mrs. Richardson to
GAINESVILLE Wednesday night.
Last Wednesday John Goldthorpe
invited all who wished to take an auto
ride. There were so many some could
not get on and those who did got off
again declaring they could make better
time on foot.
On Wednesday, June 5, at the home
of Mr.. and Mrs. George Richardson,
occurred the marriage of Fred Richard
son and Belle Englehart. At high noon
the contracting parties took their places
behind an embankment of ferns and
Fleur de lis as Ruth Richardson played
the wedding march. Rev. F. w. Scho-
enfield of the Congregational church at
Edgerton spoke the words that made
them man and wife. The bride was
becomingly attired in pale blue silk
trimmed with cream lace, and carried
carnations. She was attended by her
sister Leona, who is her only relative
in this part of the country. Chas.
Teubert of EdgertOn was best man.
After congratulations from the invited
relatives and friends which numbered
about thirty, they sat down to an ele-
giant three-course dinner. The tables
were beautifully decorated with carna-
tons and ferns. The young couple
have grown to manhood and woman
hood in our midst and have been school
mates together. The bride has taught
school the past two years, and the
groom has been student at GAINESVILLE
business college. That they may have a
happy and prosperous juouney through
life is the wish of their many friends.
They took the train from Edgerton for
brief wedding trip to parts unknown,
though there were self appointed SEN
tinels on every corner, none can give
an accurate description of the route
they took. 1t is known they crossed
the river several times, though it's not
necessary to cross it at all. However,
they will be at home to their friends ir
MELVILLE after June 18th.
