TOO MUCH EXTRAVAGANCE

Banker has Investigated the condi-
tions of the country and summar-
ICES the result as follows:
This country's period of extrava-
gance-national. municipal, cor
poration and personal-that has ex-
tended over the last few years, is
automatically nearing close in my
opinion, aud a readjust ment of f.
nancial, social and labor conditions
seems imminent.
There is a feeling of apprehen-
sion apparent in eastern banking
and business circles that cannot be
explained by tariff fear, or alarm
over proposed currency legislation.
The cause goes deeper and, to my
mind, strikes straight to the root
of the situation-it is a rapid crys-
talizing of the realization that tue
people of the United States, from
bondholders to hod carriers, have
been spending too much money.
and that this procedure cannot con-
tinue much longer without precipi-
tating trouble.

have visited New York, Chi
cago, Washington, Buston, Phila-
delphia, Baltimore and several 9TH
or cities. In each place the bank
ers, merchants, manufacturers and
construction men with whom
talked expressed the conviction
that period of readjustment for
both cupitalistic and labor interests
is not far distant. At present labor
is well employed and this is likely
to continue for some time. AS long
as this prevails, merchandising will
continue in heavy volume and mer-
chants will have little to complain
of.
The unrest is higher up. Every
one knows, Of course that stocks of
all kinds have been liquidated of
late to a considerable extent. There
has been a marked depreciation in
the market value of the shares Of
many companies, particularly of
textile corporations. This is begin
ming to be felt by the men who are
rated as wealthy. They are spend-
ing less money than they did year
and two years ago. Such interests
are not investing as formerly in
building and construction opera
tions. The volume of work already
under way. however, is sufficient
for the present employment of the
greater portion of available labor
in the country and for that reason
very little of the uneasiness pre-
valent among the monied interests
has made it's appearance outside
the latter circles. -
This added cost of doing business
is a boomerang on the buying
public. Merchants have not been
making 'exorbitant prices. AS fast

st. Augustine records that a disciple
OF his, having to lecture on Cicero's
rhetorical books, was baffled by a GER
tain passage. He slept, and in a dream
his master, who was really far away
and unconscious of the whole thing,
appeared to him and expounded the
passage. In 1898 Herr Hilprecht, pro-
lessor Of Assyriology in the University
Of Pennsylvania, was worried over
two small fragments of. agate found
at Babylon, Of which he had received
drawings. In his dream a tall, thin
Assyrian priest told him they 'be-
longed together" being portions of
an inscribed votive cylinder which had
been cut up to make earrings for the
statue OF god. The professor found
next day that the fragments did fit
and make a continuous inscription.

CRACKERS WILL
MEET BARONS
IN DOUBLE BILL
By Joe Agler.

BIRMINGHAM, ALA, June 10
II A double-header will be played
at Fleetwood Park this after
noon between the Crackers and
Barons, weather permitting. Birm-
ingham is out to win the afternoon
trophy offered by President Kava-
naugh.
Atlanta set the high figure, about
5000, when they opened the season
at Poncy Park. With a double bill
to-day, and it being Flag Day in the
bargain, local fans are confident that
they will camp around the scene of
activities fully 10000 strong.
Billy Smith will use Brady and
Price on the mound this afternoon.
Wordsworth has announced that he
will depend on Prough and Foxen to
bring home the bacon.
A steady downpour of rain spoiled
yesterdays game The Crackers
went out to the ball park and took
look at the pennant pole. II is
made of steel and is 100 feet high.
The Crackers hope to have SINH
lar one in 1914.
Wordsworth has just signed Ray
Boyd. Boyd was one of the Baron
mainstays last season, but tore a
ligament in his hurting arm. He
seems to be o. K. now and will prob
ably hurl the final game of the seEies.

II Tommy Murphy, Leach Cross or

4th affair will not be looked upon
as the final heat in the lightweight
championship by any means There
are several boys fitted TO a chance at
the title and from the way public
opinion asserts itself in these mat

candidate being overlooked.
