conditions have little If anything to
do with it.
We must go out of the State to get
most of our foodstuffs" Mr. Eve said
I'VE must depend on the West and
North for our wheat. corn, oats and
meats and their products and by
products. 1t is only natural that
these things should cost less in the
States where they are grown than in
States to which they are shipped.
The groCers and butchers have not
willingly raised the prices of their
goods. Their profit is determined
largely by the volume of sales and
they can sell more when food is cheap
than when it is dear.
Dealers Make Low Profits.
"GroCers and butchers in Atlanta
are doing business now on a smaller
margin of profit than ever before in
the history of trade and are making
less money. Twelve years ago. when
the high cost of living first made its
appearance. goods were sold at
profit of from 80 to so per cent Now
they are sold at from 20 to % per
cent
The grocerymans expenses are
about II IL to 20 per cent, leaving
him a net profit of about per cent
on his business or sales; but not on
his investment.
1T is emphatiCally up to the people
of Georgia to reduce the high cost of
living by raising the things we now
have to ship in from other States
and for which the soil and climate of
Georgia are admirably fitted"

BloodhOunds Said to Have Picked Up Trail at
Scene Of Crime.

With an army of railroad detectives
and deputy sheriffs spreading their
dragnet over the hills and valleys OF
Spalding County in the search for
evidence against the men who at
tempted to wreck the Dixie Flyer at
Hampton, Ga, late Tuesday night,
suspicion has been directed against
three young white men residents Of
the county. who are being trailed by
the officers.
Sheriff l.. D Huston, OF Spalding
County. who has charge Of the in
vestigation. and two railroad deteC-
tives, have been working up evidence
against the three men since Engi-
neer Thomas g. Ragsdale saved the
lives of hundreds of passengers by
stopping his train on the brink of al
most certain disaster II is declared
that they have secured evidence
which establishes almost to a Ger

arrest is expected within eighteen
hours.
Think Hounds Got Trail.
Neither the members OF the Sher-

suspected men or the nature of the
evidence they have obtained against
them. 1t is rumored, however, that
all three are we'll known citizens of
that section of the State, and sensa-

follow their arrest 1t is understood

By DR.. HARVEY w. WILEY.

The increasing price of food is not
due solely to its scarcity. There
never was time when man
was so well fed as at the present
We do not have to look far to see the
cause of the increased cost of food.
First, people are eating better
foods than ever before. and second,
the purchasing medium, namely gold.
is relatively far more abundant than
ever before, hence the quantity OF
food it win purchase is decidedly less
The great staples, the cereals. how
ever, are not as expensive at the
present time as during the past.
Would Check Rush Cityward
For a days labor a man can buy
more wheat than he could % or so
years ago 1t is the part of scientific
nTtrition as well as social economy to
increase the quantity of cereals in
our foods and to diminish those nutri-
ents which are of less necessity and
of increasingly higher price.
To my mind, it seems, the most
important factor of the day is to
check the aggregation of men in the
cities and to encourage the distribu-
ton Of the great industries where
men are employed.
The factory IN a farm neighbor-
hood is a boon to every farmer, af-
fording him a home market and saw
ing the cost OF transportation The
moral and mental effect upon the PEG
pie of a distribution OF industries is
no less important.
Saloon VS.. Truck Garden,
The saloon has no compelling at
traction for the laboring man who,
after his eight hours of work. has
eight hours for his flower and vege-
table garden. If our productive in
dustries in a manufacturing line were
properly distributed. the alcohol evil
would be robbed Of most of its ter
Tors
The unfortunate condition now
exists of providing sO-called fresh
foods in an advanced state of stale
ness and of providing foods which
should be properly aged in an imma-
ture state. The cured ham is ready
for distribution within three weeks of
slaughter and the four year old whis-
ky is made in 40 seconds"

S0UASHES KNOWN
AS TRAP CROP"

In Mississippi and the other south
ern states, it is generally rather diff
cult to raise melons, cucumberS and
suuashes because Of the serious at
tacks of insect pests, says bulletin
from the Mississippi Agricultural tx
pertinent Station. These plants are
all closely related and they all have
the same insect pests. However,
like people, some of these insects
have preferences in the choice OF
their food. Most Of us think that it
is fortunate that number OF the IN
sects that attack these plants prefer
sQuashes to melons and cucumberS.
The intelligent farmer cla take ad-
vantage of this fact and rd.5e some
squashes in order to attract the in
sects from his melons or cucumbers.
When this is done the squash plants
are known as trap crop.

Most Of Mississippi's disgraces
seem to be connected with her prison
system. The burning to death OF
thirty-five negro convicts on penal
farm is a sensational sequel to the
recent graft disclosures in connec-
ton with that department OF the
State government. All of the recent
developments tend to make thepeople
open their mouths in establishment
and should cause them to reach the
conclusion that an immediate change
in the management of the penlten-
tiary system is needed.
