Mourning Stationery.
Perhaps not one person out Of a
thousand knows that mourning Dor

There are machines which will do the
work, but the result is not satisfac-

it seems. Translated, that means that
they have no gloss
One girl does the work on all the
mourning stationery in the Montag
factory. She arranges the sheets in
piles, each sheet overlapping the next
a little. A brush, filed with special
ink is rubbed over the edges, making
neat border. No sheet is spoiled
except the top sheet.
It seems strange TO think, on a hot
day in June, of the Christmas holi-
days, but the manufacturer must look
that far ahead. Just now, toys from
Germany and Japan are arriving by
the carload at the Montag factory,
and great shelves are being filled with
sam L'itS. ENObl TIE SdltNulen VIII start
out with their holiday lines-eighty-
one trunks to a line, line to a State.
The lines comprise stationery, pen
ellis, sundries, novelties, glass ware,
leather goods and other articles too
numerous to mention.
The youngster who could visit the
factory in a week or two would have
fOretaste Of Christmas, and would
learn what Santa" is likely to bring
him. The latest things in toys are
arriving, many of them complete nov
elites.
The Montag factory occupies five
floors, each 100 by 40 feet. Two and
three carloads of fiat paper go into
the basement each week to emerge
from the shipping room, ready for the
business correspondence Of the world,
or the social letters.
Another important line is the man

FINE WEATHER
HELPS COTTON
ALL OVER BELT
Boil WeeviI Only Serious Menace,
Acreage Estimates Now Agree
on Small Increase.

MEMPHIS, June Warm sun
shine in abundance and enough mois-
ture practically everywhere have
caused the cotton crop during the
past week to make satisfactory prog
ress. There are evidences still Of too
little moisture awhile back and of
the recent week-long cool spell, but
a continuation Of present conditions
soon will blot out a lot of damage
and cause a revision of ideas as to
yield. Reports reaching here during
the week have been more optimistic
and the main complaint has been
that the plant is small and in some
sections irregular in size. Clean
fields are universally reported and the
soil has been put into good shape
for rains later on to have full eff
feet. So far as advices here go,
there is no serious lack of labor and
cultivation has been at a minimum
expense. There was no great amount
of replanting necessary in this sec
ton of the belt and the crop perhaps
is as evenly advanced, taking the
belt as a whole, as in many years.
1t will take time for this one to
two weeks hardness to be overcome
and il remains to be seen how well
the plant will be prepared to with
stand the trying time of the usual
summer drouth. The feeling at this
center is that the crop has improved
since the Government report was
made up May 25 by several points
There is no doubt of it so far as the
fs.va ..Tr rfF
Cerned and some of the best pros
poets in years are seen here.
There is one danger. however. in
part of the central belt. 1t is the
boil weevil, and the time is at hand
when the test is to be faced. AdViCes
from the lower part of Mississippi
and Louisiana tell of the presence Of
the pest in large numbers and il Is a
question whether efforts will avail to
reduce the number so that the yield
will be anything like it ought to be
Much depends on how the number
of weevils can be kept down during
the egg-laying period. Government
agents and others are rendering eV-
cry aid possible in the campaign, but
already some sections say that plant
ers are losing heart because of the
odds against them So far there are
few complaints as to the pest in the
Delta sections, and in Arkansas the
weevil is said TO be comparatively
scarce.
Acreage ideas are converging
around an increase Of 8 to 4 per cent
over last years revised figures, which
would give something less than the
amount for two years ago, when the
crop was over 10000 600 bales How
ever. the estimate Of the New York
Financial Chronicle is that the
acreage is the largest ever known.
The movement of the remnant Of
the old crop has become very light
and consequently the small demand
for the actual has not interfered
with the bull campaign. Interior
stocks have been losing their excess
over a year ago, as shipments have
been larger relatively. Quotations
have been advanced generally from
is to Ia cent to from 117-S to
~ 9-l6 cents for middling, and quo
tatiOns are still way above a deliver
able parity as compared with New
York contracts.

PENNSY AIMING

Creation Of a trans continental line

Pennsylvania Railroad system. At

an important point on the route
Reports from Wall Street are that
the Pennsylvania will acquire virtual
control Of the Southern Pacific sys-
tenn by exchanging its B. and o. stock
for the Southern Pacific stock held by
the Union Pacific.
At the same time a report has
arisen that the Pennsylvania aims
also to gain control Of the Atlantic
Coast Line.
Continued strength OF Pennsylvania
stock in the face of a bear market
gives color to the story that some big
plan is afoot, and the rumor that
"Pennsy' wants the Coast Line will
not down.
one account is that the Interstate
Commerce Commission already has
been asked If such a deal would be
legal and that its consummation
prevail.

A system thus developed would be
the most remarkable in the world. 1t

From New York the Pennsylvania

Ga. From Augusta to Atlanta the
Georgia Railroad operates under lease
to the Coast Line.
The Coast Line holds 81 per cent of
the stock in the Louisville and Nash
vile. The L. and n. operates from
Atlanta to Montgomery over the At
lanta AMI West Point, which II leases.
1t operates over its own lines into
New Orleans making the connection
there with the Southern Pacific.
From New Orleans the L. and n
operates It's own lines to Nashville

One Link Missing.
Also, the L. and n. controls the
Nashville, Chattanooga and St. Louis,
which in turn leases the Atlantic and
Western from Atlanta to Chattanoo-
ga, and uses its own lines into Nash
Vile.
The Coast Line has. too, a direct
line TO Cuba, via Tampa Fla
The only missing link is between
Washington and Richmond. Even
here the Coast Line owns one fifth
interest in a railroad which makes the
connection.
The Coast Line has outstanding
$5S,94370 preferred and common
stock. To purchase 81 per cent of
this would seem no great task for the
Pennsy, with its S4SS, 100000 stock
Control Of the Coast Line, of course,
would give control of the l. and n.
and, through it, of all the minor roads
enumerated.

The only one IN the South, and the
most complete in the United States"
is the claim made by Montag Broth
ers for their plant at 1920 Nelson
Street.
The products Of the factory are in
Vulnerable, but in general may be
grouped under the head Of stationery.
druggists sundries, and novelties.
The claim Of being the most COM
plete plant In the country is based on
the fact that there is nothing in the
stationery line which cannot be made
in the Montag factory. Tablets, day
books, papeteries, envelopes, embossed
end engraved stationery-these are
but a few of the things which are
turned out CT the Atlanta factory.
It has been said that the brain of
man has conceived no more ingenious
machines than are used in the print
ing trades, and this applies to station
y-making devices as well.
The Envelope Machines.
For instance, there are the envelope
machines. After the envelope shapes
have been cut from paper with a steel
Gle, the shapes are stacked in the
machines. Without further attention
except to replenish the glue and to
wrap the finished envelopes in pack
gees of a dozen, this machine folds
the fiat paper into envelope shapes.

crop into long belt, upon which they
travel several feet out and back to the

Cpes, the gum on the flaps is dry In

opes go over a tiny oil stove which
assists IL drying the gum. In hot
weather, fans do this work

Worshipful Master Stirling Kerr. ir., Of
Temple Lodge. No. 3D. F. a. A. NJ, last
evening. at Masonic Temple, signaliZed
| his elevation to the highest office in the
lodge with an open social meeting, fol-
lowing a brief business session. The
program was informal and impromptu
and was designed, Mr. Kerr explained, to
bring out the latent talent of the men,
bers in the way of entertainment. II
ranged from prose to poetry, from
speechmaking to song, and throughout
the spirit of laughter and jovality pre-
| vailed.
| The feature of the evening was the
presentation by the lodge of a past mas
| ter's jewel, richly studded with diamonds,
| to C,-rter Is. Keene, who was master of
the lodge the last two years and who.
since Mr.. Kerr's installation into office, it
was explained, is counted among Its
precious collection of has beens'' The
presentation speech. in a humorously sa-
trical vein, was made by Past Master
Francis Asbury Sebring, who reviewed
! he events of Mr. Keene'S masterShip
and paid high tribute to his virtues and
sagacity. Mr.. Keene's response was elo-
quent and at it's close he was obliged
again to arise to bow his acknowledge
ment of the hearty and continuous APP
plause.
Parliamentary Law was given by Mr..
Kerr. who punctuated the more serious
parts with humorous stories of men in
public life. Maj. Leroy w. Heron, the
senior warden. read two original poems,
Il Love the Soldiers Life" and The
Garb of Uncle Sam and in response to
the applause that followed gave char
acter representations and made brief
| patriotic speech.
After the telling of a number of Scotch
jokes and anecdotes by Alex. Mcken-
zie. one Of the affiliated past masters of
the lodge Worshipful Master Kerr intro
duced newly initiated members for their
maiden speeches, after the custom Of the
| lodge.
| An interpolated feature of the evening
that seemed to give much pleasure was
| the singing of Frank Mullane, a tenor of
merit and a good dialect story teller.
Throughout the evening Percy S. Fos-
| ter played popular and classical selections
on the piano, and introduced many of the
| leading operate singers through the me-
dunn of his mammoth vfctrola, which also
played several of Harry LADDERS num-
| bers Light refreshments were served in
| the room adjoining the lodgeroom.
