TO CAUSEN STIR
Packers and Manufacturers Are
Used to Big Orders.
Governments Demands Will
Not Make Prices Jump.

Chicago, June 30.-Unless millions of
United States troops should be mobil-
lied, packing firms, auto manufactur-
ers and all other American industries
will be able to furnish the American
and without materially increasing the
price of any commodity.
This was the opinion today of Chi
cago packers who already are meet
ing the demands of their new GUS
tomer-Uncle Sam.
IF Uncle Sans army orders had
come in two years ago." F. E. White,
vice president of Armour &, Co., said
today, at might have caused. a stir in
American industrial circles. But for
the past two years we have been TAX
ing care of immense orders for mil
lions of troops. This means the United
States demands will not affect the
packing organizations in any way.
We are used to big orders"
Nothing Will Advance.
1T will be the same with every
commodity needed for the army" said
White referring to the fact that the
government secured many machine
the allies with these weapons.
"a slight rise in leather prices is
possible. but not probable in view of
heavy government orders for shoes"
The shipments will consist of $50. 900
pounds of Grated bacon, 100000
pounds of canned bacon, $4,000
pounds of corne dbeef, $4,000 pounds
of roast beef and So. 900 pounds of

FULTON OFFICERS ARE
AFTER THE M00NsHINE

ATLANTA, Ga, Aug. 1S.--Police au-
thorities of Atlanta and Fulton county,
aided and abetted by internal revenue
officers of the United States, are max
ing a campaign against distillers OF
moonshine liquor who are hauling
their product into Atlanta in automo-
biles. Their first device was to load
up car with cabbage and roasting
ears and other delectable products of
the farm, and underneath these vegeta-
bies store supply of the clear white
fluid that will make one fight his own
daddy.
The police having got onto this lit
tie dodge and made life miserable for
every huckster in radium of fifty
miles, to say nothing of putting the
moonshine boys out of business, so
far as vegetable DISCUSSES were con-
cerned, an entirely new scheme has
been invented, according to report.

Flivver, having graciously stopped his
car, mad having taken out a liquid

desired quantity, the thing which Auto
list No. will get for mis- pains is not

two matters of great public interest

Postal Savings idea dates from 1911,
it was not made practically operative
until 1914, when unnecessary restric-

daily, through something like 100000
human agents, at $4,000 post offices
and $500 stations of all kinds, handling

The LAKE IS POPULAR
FOR THE END-ROUTE

ATLANTA, Ca, Aug. 18.-Commit-
ting suicide in the lake at Piedmont
park, maintained by the city of At
lanta for the pleasure of the bathers,
lis some difficult undertaking, on ac-
count of the alert and watchful vigil
lance of the life saver, one Harry
Walker, strapping young athlete who
combines efficiency and nerve with the
ability to propel row boat through
the water almost at the speed of a
motor launch, and a most astonishing
gift of swimming to the side of a
broken-hearted person and dragging
him, or her, to safety on the banks.
All of which was both discovered
and demonstrated Thursday by Grady
johnson, young barber fresh from the
country, who fell desperately in love
with certain pretty girl, who turned
cut to be quite free and generous with
her attentions. In fact, when Johnson
discovered the number of young men
paying attentions to the girl, he simply
vent distracted with grief and despair
and proceeded to the lake at an early
morning hour, before the bath house
opened, with the idea that nobody
would be around to see him, or inter-
fere with him in the consummation o.
lis own destruction.
But therein he erred, for life-sayer
Walker was on the job with his eagle
eye and his trusty row boat, and his
overland stroke and he snatched the
love sick barber from the water before
the ripples were gone from the spot
where the barber Owed.
