Chicago. Aug. 21.-The traders re-
gard the break in grains as the natural
reaction after a three day bulge. They
said there had been a bulge of over
eight n a quarter cents in three days
without good reason and the market
was recovering. Bears are confident
of still lower prices although a few
said they expected @ rally after furth-
er break. AS the war feeling is far
from subsiding they expect to see it's
effects visible again in a few days.
Corn specialists said the technical
position of the market favored a de-
cline. The market has grown stale on
the bull side and a break would be a
good thing. They regarded rains in
the southwest as too late to do any
especial good to crop. The estimate
of 2,700, 900, 900 bushels crop for the
country made by the United States
Chamber of Commerce is looked upon
as about right by the trade. Sales
cash wheat here yesterday 125, 900
bushels to mills: corn $4,000 bushels
and oats $4,000 bushels including 100,-
600 bushels to exporters. Charters
were for SO, 900 bushels, wheat go, 900
bushels corn at 7-Sc to Buffalo. Cash
markets: Outside markets showed
little change in cash wheat. While the
country showed no desire to loosen up
on offerings Of old corn to arrive, the
sample market had an easier tone. st.

Wants to Start
Serving His Time

Atlanta, March Fl. johnny
Denard is probably the only ne
gro on record who has asked to
be taken from a life of ease in a
cell in Jail and be put to work on
the changing. In fact if a negro
has ever asked to be put on the
changing before under any cir
cumstances there is no record of
it. \
Dennard is under a sentence
of four years in the penitentiary.
Mean while he is lying in Jail
awaiting the decision. No his
attorneys have appealed directly
to the prison commission, asking
on behalf Of the negro that he
be assigned to a convict camp
and permitted to begin work at
once, so that if the motion for a
new trial is not successful, the
time can come off his sentence.
Dennard was convicted in
Dawson of running M. H. Nor
gan down with an automobile
He was accused of speeding away
afterward, leaving the injured
man in a ditch.

On Friday evening March 20tt
there was held a public meeting
of the Woman's Christian Tenn.
perance Union at the Central
Methodist church.
1t was one of the Red Letter"
days of the organization and a
celebration in honor of Neal Dow,
father of prohibition.
A splendid program was car
ried out and was very interesting
as well as instructive. The girls,
who took part are to be compli-
mented on the zeal and enthusi-
asm with which they rendered
their parts.
The address of Rev. Peterson
was much enjoyed as was talk
by Rev. Matthews.
The prayer by Rev. Mann was
a help and inspiration 70 better

The anthem wine is a mock

tan church choir in their usual
able and pleasing manner.

BurWell Rides The Goat

Atlanta, March Fl. Hon. Will
liam H. Burwell, speaker of the
Georgia House of Representa-.
tlves is wearing a hunted look.
and Shrine emblem.
He rode the goat.
They say the more popular and
the more wisely known a man is,
the worse it is for him when he
goes through the Mystic Shrine,
and that may account for the
fact that the Atlanta Shriners
are still grinning about what
they did to Bill" Burwell.
There were over 700 Shriners
present at the elaborate ceremony
when Mr.. Burwell, Assistant
Commissioner of Agriculture Dan
Hughes ard q number of other
prominent Georgians were init
ated into the mysteries.
The class was particularly
large. in anticipation of the
National Convention of Shriners,
which will be held here May 10,
and IA, and which it is expected
$4,000 Shriners will attend. The
visitors will come from all parts
Of the United States and Canada.

Tells How he Felt.

Atlanta, March 81. mo man
has ever honestly told how he
felt IL battle. If he told, he
made it up out of his magma
ton. A battle is hell, son, and
Pickett's charge was worse than
hell, ," whispered Uncle Tom"
Thompson, beloved Albanian and
survivorlof that famous charge,
who now lies dying at the home
of his nephnw here.
The old gentlemen suffered q
strike Of appoplexy in the city
hall a couple of days ago, and
while he has recoved conscious
ness it is not believed that he
can survive for many more hours.
Newspaper men who knew and
admired him called at the house,
and he consented to see them.
It was to them that he talked of
the old battle days. In hamel
vivid language he told of the
rider for the column to move
across the field and up the long
hill bristling with muskets and
cannon; how the men obeyed:
how solid lines of them fell be-
fore the hail of lead; how the
ranks closed and they moved on
and up and over the breastworks,
and then fell back across field
of dead men and blood.
Mr.. Thompson is one of the
few living men who went through
that terrible charge.

Atlanta Youths
Anxious To Swim

Atlanta. March pa unique
petition is going the rounds
among Atlanta fair mermaids
and athletic youths who love the
water. Five hundred or more
of them are begging city council
to open Piedmont Park lake for
public bathing a month earlier
this year.
Alta recent meeting Of the park
board May Is was set as the date
on which the first plunge would
be allowed, but the eager bathers
insist that in this climate the
water is plenty warm by April
Is.
Inc petition Will be referred to
the park board, and will be given
reasonable consideration.
The petition further begs that
the park boards order insisting
that all bathing suits have sleeves
be revoked. The petitioners de-
clare that the standard sleeveless
bathing suits for men are not
improper and that a half sleeve
obstructs the free movement of
the arms and seriously handbags
the swimmer.

Division Of Markets
Studying Conditions

Atlanta, March 23.-Guy Fitz-
patrick, representative of the
new U. S. Division of Markets,
has come to Atlanta to make a
special study of the marketing
of agricultural products in this
territory along the lines outlined
by United States Senator Hoke
Smith in his bill which has now
become a law.
No similar investigation is be-
ing made anywhere else in. the
United States, and it is a notable
distinction that the first practi-
cal demonstration of the effec-
tiveness of the parcels post in
bringing the producer and con-
sumner closer together is to be
made in Georgia.
Senator Smith, which has taken
an active and leading part in the
development both of the Parcels
Post and in the agricultural ex-
tension measures, is reported to
be greatly pleased that this i'm
portant investigation is to be
made in this state. The work
will cover a big area in Georgia,
extending $50 miles in every di-
rection around Atlanta.
1t is coincidence that the di-
vision of markets was originated
in a bill by Senator Smith and
that he and Senator Bourne
working together planned the
zone system of rates for parcels
post instead of the flat twelve
cents a pound rate which was in
the bill when it was passed by
the house.
Senator Smiths central idea
has been to utilize the rural route
service and short railroad haul
to put the farmer in touch with
his nearby town and city market
so that he could sell his produce.
Senator Smith says that he ex-
poets to see the day, not very far
in the futurel when most of the
r. F. D. routes will be supplied
with automobile express trucks
handling produce for the farmers,
and putting them in immediate
touch with their city customers.

INTERPRETATION OF WAR COSTS

Those who are looking for prosper ity as the result of the war might think of how much greater prosper ity would be but for the war. IL is estimated that the war is costing dai- ly about $5O,000,000, which is repre- scented in an economic sense by mo- thing, not even the glory of the vic tors. But the expenditure of $50,O00,- 900 in that manner means loss of the ability to employ 10000 men. Under modern conditions it requires an in vestment of between $4,000 and $5,- 900 to keep man at work. Taking the larger amount, as tending toward conservatism in the estimate, it fol- lows that each days war expendi- ture is sentence to idleness of ten regiments. And the sentence will run until the wastes of war are made good by work and economy hereafter.
 The "butchers' bill" must be added. It can be estimated only in hundreds Ol LuOuSduuS, dll uleu III lue p1 luc of life. The loss of these workers will annul the previous investment of a sum sufficient to keep the dead and wounded at work. To these awful to- tals it is necessary to add the actual damage in a material sense, which has been put at hundreds of millions, accuracy being impossible.
 No doubt there will be profits here and there, made by the few who have on hand the goods instantly and per emptorily demanded without regard to cost But that is only the excep- tion which proves the rule. For generation at least the world will be poorer as the result of this wicked est and costliest war within the ex- perience of any living man.-Ex.

ification throughout the country. The heartiest cooperation of thousand smaller agencies could not result so effectively. It is true that the actual needs of stricken Belgium are so great that complete relief might tax to the utmost the largest conceivable resources. But there is assurance now that actual starvation will be prevented by this splendid co-opera- tion Of the Rockefeller Foundation with the other admirable agencies, that there will be sufficient relief for large numbers, and that the shipping and distribution of supplies will be accomplished in the most expeditions and competent manner. The relief planned may, of course, be extended to sufferers in other countries than Belgium, but that is now the scene of the worst affliction, and the au- thentic reports of misery and desti- tuition had already touched the heart of every humane American. Praise of MT. Rockefeller and his associates in this high enterprise is uncalled for, and printed words would be fu- tile to express the sincere and wide spread satisfaction that the announce ment will cause. A neutral nation, when terrible war is rending many other countries, can do no nobler work than this.-New York Times.

QUICK RELIEF FOR BELGIUM.

In announcing the purpose of the Rockefeller Foundation to expend millions of dollars if necessary for the relief of the suffering non-com- batants of the various countries in- volved in the European war, an an- nouncement which follows upon act i've and efficient, though silent, pre- parations to give relief as quickly as possible, MT. John D. Rockefeller, Jr., emphasizes the fact that the labors of the commission he is sending abroad will not render unnecessary the efforts of other agencies of re- lief" that the services of the Foun- dation will, in fact, "but supplement the public-spirited efforts of the Bel gian Relief Committee, of which MT. Robert w. de Forest is chairman" This should be clearly understood. Millions of innocent human beings who have taken no part whatever in the hostilities are in danger of starv- ing to death, and too much cannot be done for them. But while the most strenuous efforts were making to provide relief to the extent of hun dreds of thousands of dollars this simple announcement that millions have been made available and are to be expended without delay, and in the most practical manner, must stim- ulate our national pride and tend to spur to new and stronger endeavors the good men and women who are already devoting their energies to his very work of relief than which there is none more urgent in the world in this hour.
 Ambassador Page in his dispatch to MT. Rockefeller which is incorpor- ated in the announcement of the Foundations plan says that the great present need in Belgium in this hour is food. Money sent to any of the European agencies of distribution will be all but useless. The Founda- tion will dispatch on Tuesday large neutral steamship laden with 4,0O0 tons of flour, rice, beans and bacon, while the newly appointed commits sion of men trained in the admins tration of relief on large scale who will hereafter superintend the minis trations of the Foundation will depart almost immediatelv The work has already been auspiciously begun, however, with an expenditure of $275,000, a small beginning in view of the resources to be drawn upon, but eminently practical and timely.

 Turkey OutcIassed In Destroyers. The hidden strength of the Rus sian Black Sea fleet may be found in it's mosquito vessels. Turkey has only eight destroyers built and nine torpedo boats. It has no submarines, so far as is known here, but several were projected last year, and may have been shipped by train from Ger many to the assembled in Turkish ports. In the Russian Black Sea fleet are 26 torpedo boat destroyers, nine of which belong to the Bistry class, each of B knots speed, and are just
 being finished at Nicolaieff. They are the Bistry, Besppokoiny, Dersky, Chic vny, Gromky, Pospechny, Pronsitelny, Pulky and Stschastliry.
 The other seventeen Black Sea de- stroyers of the Russians are the Bar anoff, Shetakof, Saken, Zatzarebbyl, Zavidny. Zavetny, Jeevoi, Jeevootchy, Jootky, Jarky, Zvonky, Puschtscheen.
