Damage to crops is always misfortune to the
world at large. Advices from the corn belt report
that long continued lack of rain and unusually hot
smells of long duration have worked havoc with
the growing crop Such reports must always, of
course he discounted to some extent as the eX-
element invariably leads to certain amount oil
exaggeration. In this case, however, there is
strong reason TO fear that the damage is very
nearly, if not fully, as bad as stated.
There is n reflection of this in the Chi
cago grain market. Spectators take pains
to be unusually well informed as to crop con-
ditons and movement. Corn is now bullish.
Prices are advancing by jumps. So are the
values of other grains. Receipts are falling
off, farmers who are acquainted with the sit
uation evidently preferring to hold cereals
back. They are acquainted with the condi-
tions and believe the damage is so great and
widespread that still higher prices must re-
suit.
At the same time reports from IL
rigated territory where the farmers are
not dependent upon rainfall, show that
all crops are in magnificent condition.
The promise for bumper harvests was
never equaled. While the drought in
the non-rrigated area has tended to
advance prices sharply, the men who
farm irrigated lands are in position to
take advantage of the situation. They
will have immense quantities of pro-
duce to sell and will get big prices for
it. This, it is true, is at the expense
of those less fortunate, but in it may
be found forceful illustration of the
benefit of irrigation. 1t makes the
tiller of the soil independent of climatic
conditions.

1T SEEMS QUITE IMPOSSIBLE
But Paris Dressmakers Say Dresses
Will BE Tighter Than Ever. The
New STYLES Described.

According to a fashion expert who
has just returned from Paris the
dressmakers of that city are propos-
ing not merely to revive the hobble
skirt, but to make it tighter than
ever, so that women will be almost
unable to walk in it. This expert
says:
The skirts | saw in Paris were so
tight that the wearers could scarcely
walk. The dresses are frightfully
ugly. In some cases they are draped
up some inches in front or on the
side to allow the feet some little
movement, and are arranged with
folds of the material in drapings
around the hips and tapering to the
ankles
''The draped hobble is more insidi-
Gus than the plain hobble skirt. 1t
has deceived everybody because the
fashion prophecies led women to be-
lieve that the very tight skirt was
dead; that the folds and draperies
were coming in, and, therefore, that
skirts were bound to be fuller, and
that more material would be used.
The extra material, however, is used
in draping the bodice and around the
hips, and leaves but a wispiness of
skirt around the ankles.
I'm very many cases skirts are so
narrow even in the tailor-made cos
tunes, that they must be split in
directoire fashion up to the knee,
either at the side or in front. In
many cases buttons and button holes
allow the wearer to determine how
long the slit shall be. Almost all the
new Partisan skirts, in fact, are slit
they must be-"

LEGISLATORS WILL HAVE PLENTY TO DO

and ask for the enac+ lent of this
law.
The persistence with which women
suffragists haunted the Hobbies of the
capitol last summer is sufficient evil
dence of the fact that the new legis-
lature is going to be buttonholed
from one end to the other to give
some consideration to the women's
suffrage problem. Gradually the wo-
mems suffrage element has been
building up sentiment in Georgia, and
it said that a half dozen bills rela-
tive to women's suffrage will be in
troduced at the coming session.
Votes for the Women.
One or more of these will seek to
amend the state constitution so as to
give women the right to vote. Nat
urally these bills will seek to put the
whole business through at once but
there is no question that Georgia S
women suffragists will be satisfied if
they can put in a little entering
wedge and secure the right to start
with the privilege to vote in local
elections, for school boards and in
matters of that sort. 1t is expected
that the same women's suffrage lobby
will be found in the legislative halls
this summer, probably considerably
recruited compared to last year.
The old prohibition fight promises
to be reopened with renewed vigor.
The Anti-Saloon League has appoint
ed a committee specifically charged
with the duty of pushing bill in
tended to strengthen the present pro-
hibition laws, and both sides are get
ting ready for another big battle
1t is evident that the prohibitionsts
VIII be satisfied with nothing less than
the whole hog" Their recent sue
cess in securing the passage of the
Webb bill by congress has not abated
even in a small degree their effort
in Georgia, and it is evident they are
not going to be satisfied until they
close up the near beer saloons and
the locker clubs.
For Law Enforcement.
Members of the League feel that
that they have strong support, not
only in their own ranks but from
some of the more literally inclined
newspapers of the state, which, while
not believing in absolute prohibition,
are demanding law enforcement.
These papers are continually harping
on the fact that persistent violation
of the prohibition law is encouraging
a spirit of lawlessness in the state,
and their attitude is that the law
ought to be strictly enforced or re-
pealed 1t is not unlikely that there
will be some desultory discussion
along this line the coming session.
and the chances are good, from pres
ent indications, that this is about all
that will come of it.

WOMAN DIED GETTING FAT
Fourteen Pallbearers Required for a
Negress Who Measured III Inch

The largest woman ever buried
near Athens-an old negro woman
named Melissa Cooper, who weighed
613 pounds, died recently near Gray
son. in Gwinnett county. Her ordi-
nary weight for forty years was about
140 pounds. Some months ago she
was taken i'll and began to increase
in weight with abnormal, uncanny
rapidity until at the time of her
death, caused by the increase of fatty
matter in her body about the vital
internal organs. she was so heavy
that it required fourteen stout negro
men to handle the coffin and conduct
the physical part of her burial.
The physicians were puzzled over
the condition of the woman upon
whose body the fleshy fat accumulat-
ed in huge rolls.
