FOOD MANIPULATION
Editor Day Book : Economists
know that prices are determined le-
ultimately or through free compett-
ton by the laws of supply and de-
mand. For example, a large supply
of wheat and normal demand means
a comparatively low price for wheat
for a year, while the reverse condi-
ton will bring about high prices for a
year.
The highest point to which the
price of wheat may go is limited by
the value of the article to the con-
sumner, while the lowest price is linn
tied to a great extent by the cost of
production to the producer.
Many agencies are at work today
to pervent the normal working out
of the prices of duCtion-cOmbina-
lions among the producers or various
classes of middlemen.
Three years ago last fall apples
were allowed to rot on the trees in
Western Illinois, in Michigan and
Ohio. Transportation could not be
secured, yet the railroads were COM
planning of lack of business. Com
mission men would receive only lin
tied amount of apples. The supply of
apples in certain districts was bought
up at low rate by commission deal
ers and the apples allowed to rot on
the trees, so that the dealers might
maintain high rate on the few sold
in the market. Also carload after
carload of produce that had been de-
livered to commission merchants
here in Chicago was deliberately de-
stroyed rather than allow the price
to be lowered by the sale of the sup
ply on hand. ,

throughout the west today. Apples,
spelling on the trees for lack Of
transportation facilities, yet business
is dull with the railroads. The retail
price of apples in Chicago at the pres
ent time is 5 cents a pound, while
thousands of bushels are spelling be-
cause of combinations that have as a
reason for existence the desire to
keep up prices. Our dealers prefer to
sell a limited quantity at a high
rate rather than a prOportionate
amount at one-half the price.

Up Principals Hands.
Tuskegee, Ala.-One Of the most i'm
portant departments at Tuskegee in
sttute and of which DR.. Booker T.
Washington is proud is the depart
ment Of agriculture, which, like the
other departments, has an expert at
the head, a man with experience, train
ing and ability. These qualities are
possessed by Professor George R.
Bridgeforth, whose early life was spent
In Athens, In the northern part Of the
state and in Limestone county.
He is yet young man. His first
graduation was from Trinity school in
1894, then at Talladega college, where
he graduated in 1897, but he felt that
he was not yet prepared for his chosen
line, so he took course at the Massa-
chusetts Agricultural college, finishing
In 1901.
Having finished his training, the next
thing was to work. He accepted po-
sition with the late William n. Coun-
GILL at Normal, Ala, where he remain
ed one year, after which he accepted
a position with DR.. Booker T. Wash
ington in the agricultural department.
OF course he was not at the head, but
one Of the instructors and workers.
This was thirteen years ago. He con-

vinced DR.. Washington and those
around the school that he understood
the business.
Merit wins in Tuskegee. So when
there was vacancy at the head Of
the department Dr. Washington de-
cided that he had the right man there
So six years ago Mr.. Bridgeforth was
placed at the head and has been con-
Quoting the work Of the department
ever since. Like other heads Of de-
partments, he has tried to make i'm
provements and has been indeed sue
cessful. In the department now are to
be found eighteen instructors, with
complete outfit for teaching from 300
to 500 students both theoretical and
practical agriculture. It should be Of
interest to know that there are $50
students studying agriculture.
This young man has not alone been
devoting his time to the students, but
he has been Of help to the farmers by
conducting what is known as farmers
short courses and movable schools for
ties in the state. He has contributed
toward the improvement Of the village
around Tuskegee, and through his eff
forts two land companies have been
organized-the Southern Small Land
company and the Tuskegee Farm and
Improvement company. He Is presi
dent of the former and vice president
Of the latter.
It is Of interest to know that this
department does $135,0O0 worth Of
business every year. With the
new agricultural building and the vet
Urinary hospital, recently donated,
there is a new canning factory, a cold
storage, barns put in the agricultural
campus, 1000 acre farm, truck
garden Of forty acres, an orchard of
100 acres and live stock consisting of
600 hogs, 1875 horses and mules and $50
cattle.
The latest addition to the depart
ment Is a postgraduate course. The
young men from this course arc max
ing good and at the same time de-
handing good salaries. The demands
are much larger than the supply.
In speaking Of his work Mr.. Bridge
forth says: 81 am one Of the humbis
workers at Tuskegee institute, hold
ing up the hands Of the principal and
working with him for the advance
ment of our people. DR.. Washington
is a strong and great help in every
particular in trying to develop this de-
partment. Our students combine the
DRY and practice in helping the pub

 Spoiled
By SADIE OLCOTT

Miss Margaret Lawrence was an el- derly maiden lady who, having pined for a mission, finally decided to take one upon berself. She selected the amelioration of the criminal classes. She visited them in prison, and many of them talked with her so persuasive ly about the unfortunate circumstances that had led them to become criminals that she came to believe they were all victims of their surroundings. This led her to advocate mercy toward them.
 Miss Lawrence, who was wealthy, founded Il society for helping criminals to lead a better life. Her society was really corps of young women who were proud to be her assistants. They worked with her in the cause and though during q term of years they succeeded In lifting only very few criminals up into better sphere per manently, they persevered.
 One of Miss I.awrence's objects was to induce persons against whom crimes had been committed to refrain from prosecution and to take the offender under their protection with a view to accomplishing his reformation. She found thls a difficult matter. When one had been victimiZed by a confi- dence mnn he was usually bent rather on punishment than sympathy. When woman lost her jewelry at the hands of q dishonest servant she considered it her duty to the state to prosecute the thief. Miss Lawrence spent much of her tlme In endeavoring to induce such persons to foregO revenge and help bring about q new birth In those who had injured them.
 Whenever Miss Lawrence saw an Rc- count In a newspaper of q theft or a robbery she would go or send one of her assistants to the injured person to induce him or her to be mercifuL One day, hearing that an elderly butler had been caught purlOlning his employers yaluables she went to the jail, saw the luleI, WHO uuu ucSu ullGSlSNI aAu found him to be q man of fifty, of good appearance and, according to his account, the victim of unfortunate cir cuuatanccs. His name was Homer Hawkins. When asked how he came by the name of Homer he said that bis father had been a pedagogue and an adrulrer of the great poet Homer Hawkins wcpt bitter tears over the condition in which he found himself and so worked on Miss Lawrence's feelings that she went to his late mas ter, secured q promise that he would not prosecute the case and took Mir. Hawkins under her own especial care for the purpose of giving him an op- portunity to show how cruel fate had been to him.
 Hawkins was made major domo of Miss Lawrcnce's household. He seeIn- cd too respectable to be called butler

Nice of Earth Eating.

In certain parts of tropical America the natives are much addicted to ge- oplagy. or earth eating. The injurious habit of earth eating is formed almost from the hour of their birth, and moth CTS. to quiet a squalling child, will give it a lump of clay pulled from the wall of their hut. As the children grow up the longing increases, and to gratify the yearuing they will barter their very souls for a lump of white clay, beside which delicacy spirits and to- bacco are reckoned of no account, This vice is, in the long run, fatal, pro- duclng dropsy in the young and dysen, tery in the middle aged.
