A Shortage of Meat.

Will meat eaters of the near future
be compelled to match for it with
gold. ounce for ounce? Production
is tagging so far behind demand that
the outlook is indeed gloomy. With
more and more people clamoring fo1
meat and only limited supply TO be
had at any price, just what is going
to happen? If Uncle Sam intends
to supply the United States from his
Alaskan reindeer farms with choice
cuts he had better get busy. 1t is
said that
There is an unprecedented
shortage of cattle and sheep IN
Great Britain, a shortage which, in
connection with the increasing de-
mand for fresh meat from Italy,
the Balkans, Austria and Germany,
is likely, it is said, to have a seri-
Gus effect in the near future on
prices in the United States.
Several years of drouth, to-
gether with the demand in London
and other great cities for milk, are
responsible for the existing situa-
ton. Cows are now selling in Eng
land at 500 to 1925 a head. There
has been an almost complete stop
page of the importation of North
American cattle alive or as beef.
England has turned to Denmark.
Sweden and France for veal In
fact. it is beginning to be ques-
ton whether the civilized nations
will feel the compulsiOn of moder-
ating their hunger for beef and
mutton as a regular article Of diet.
Japan, after doing without
milk and red meats for centuries,
is now introducing cattle, and the
national appetite in that direction
is growing fast.
THE industrial development in
Southern Europe in the last
few years has started the same
kind of hunger there. At first it
was expected that the United
States could supply at least part
of the demand, but the expectation
has been disappointed. Australia
is supplying chilled mutton and
some beef to England and Italy.
South America is sending to Eu-
rope great quantities of refrigerat-
ed beef"

TESTING WEBB LIQUOR BILL.

From the Augusta Chronicle
A test case of the Webb liquor bill
is on in Alabama. The city attorney
of Admission has accepted this anti
shipping act at its face value, and
holds that a common carrier cannot
deliver a consignment of intoxicants
from another state to citizen at
Admission, who purchased it, if there
is the least suspicion that the intoX-
cants may be used IN violating the
law.
A negro employe of an express
company, carrying a receipt book
and a sack containing large pack
age of whiskey, was arrested at night
in Admission. He had been sent by
the express. agent to delirer to a man
in Admission the express package Of
whiskey consigned him The city at
torney contended that the circum-
stances indicated a potential viola
ton of the law, and that therefore
the whiskey should be seized under
the terms of the Webb bill. An at
torney, representing the common
carriers, who want to see where
they are at" under the Webb bill,
contended that there was not only
not the slightest Illegally in the act
complained of, but there was no
ground whatever for suspecting that
any violation of the law was intend
ed The recorder, however, held
with the city attorney that the ex-
press company could not deliver the
package to the party to whom it was
consigned.
From this decision of the recorder
appeal is to be made to the highest
courts. If the recorder is sustained
the Alabamians will have to look to
other than the express companies for
their liquor.

A LICENSE ON MULLET SUPPERS

From the Early County News.
Camden county has a local law
which authorizes the county commits
sioners to charge a license fee of one
hundred dollars to all persons or cor
porations conducting church festivals
or other hot suppers or like enter
tainments in said county for the pur-
pose of making money. The act also
makes it a misdemeanor to conduct
such an entertainment without first
procuring a license. AS this act was
passed in 1910 it is presumed that
mullet suppers have gone out of style
in Camden county, which has popu-
lation of only 1880, of which 5,113
are negroes, and a consequently de-
creased demand for pistols and ra-
zors.

OPENING A BANK.

From the Industrial Index.
That wise and distinguished citi-
zen, Mr.. Solomon, builder, gold miner
and mariner, declared that there is
nothing new under the sun. Maybe
so. But did he ever see a bank in
live town of Southern Alabama
opened with music by band?
One of the methods of opening a
bank is by the use Of keys, locks,
combinations and levers that shift
bolts and bars. This method has the
approval of polite society and is af-
fected by those who are not DESTROYS
of encountering the danger of coming
within the restraining influence of
bolts and bars or adopting the lock-
step. Another method is the use of
jimmies and nitro-glycerine or some
other explosive and occasionally cleo
tricity. This method is preferred by
those who are disinclined to writing
checks, but want the money, and be-
tween the persons of this kind and
the makers of safes and vaults there
is constant warfare, just as there is
between the builders of warships and
the makers of big guns.
But in this Alabama town, Bay
Minette, to be exact, quite a new
method was employed when a bank
was opened with music Some de-
PRAYED paraphraser, whose identity
is very properly lost in oblivion, de-
clared music has charms to soothe
the savage breast, to split a rock or
bust a cabbage" Why could it not
be used to open bank?
But, be these things as they may,
it is not intended to intimate that
the Bay Minette band did not pro-
duce good music. 1t is easy to i'm
agine that it played that Treasury
Rag" Every Little Bit Added to
What You Have Makes a Little Bit
More" and-of course-''When That
Midnight Choo Choo Leaves for Ala

ANOTHER VICTORY FOR MULE.

From the Triton Gazette.
Only few years ago when the BIZ
cycle was popular we were told the
horse was doomed. Yet the horse is
still here, and the bicycle is becom-
ing a curiosity Then when the auto
came we were again told the horse
was a goner, and again with the ad-
vent of the motor truck that the mule
was a back number. Yet in severe
test for army transportation last year
the mule was an easy winner and the
auto truck lost out Albany was the
most recent scene of the mules tri-
umph, when the opening of the Ar
tesian Citys new electric car line
was planned. A part of the program
was that a mule, hitched to an an
cient horse car, should be part of
the procession, a sort of captive
drawn at the chariot wheels of pro-
gress, illustrating the advent of a
new age. But alas, for mans plan
ming, and how weak he is, despite all
his genius. The day of the great
celebration dawned, the barbecue was
cooked, the speeches of the orators
carefully oiled, and in their places
the brilliantly painted cars stood.
But some little thimble-majigge in
the electrical machinery went wrong,
the juice refused to flow, and the
only thing that stood ready to turn
a wheel was the despised and exc
Grated mule! And it is said in the
hour of his triumph the mule did not
smile. For the mule is a philoso-
pher. 1t did not matter to him.

How Suffrage Will Result
vitabI Respect
From the New York Times.

The benefits of woman's suffrage
are almost wholly imaginary. Its
penalties will be real and hard to
bear. Thus far, where women have
voted, they have brought no social or
political change. They have gained
nothing they did not possess before.
Whether or not the woman voter
will neglect her home duties will de-
pend upon her character.
Not all of the advocates Of equal
suffrage neglect their homes now or
disregard the claims of motherhood
but some of them do, and the inevi-
table result of woman suffrage will
be to coarsen women, to deprive
them of mems respect, to change
their relative position in social life.
The woman who complains that there
is row "one law for women and an

other for men" does not always know
exactly what she means that is OBJ
v.ous. If her hearers sometimes be-
lieve she means that the law she
fancies now exists for men will be
woman's law after her enfranchise-
mcnt the hearers are not to blame.
From one noted anti's forcible
manifesto we derive the impression
that she and some of the other anti
sutfragists fear that the ultimate e.
feet of woman suffrage will be to tear
down the barriers between the sexes,
to destroy the existing moral code,
to abolish the home. There may be
some exaggeration in this, but there
is a tendency in that direction in con-
temporary social life, and a good
many of the most active suffragists
are certainly helping it along.
