"BABIES" STOOD 1T WELL.

The friends of Albany regret to
see her give up her franchise in the
South Atlantic League. But in these
days of high thoughts in sporting
circles it takes full wallet to keep
the ghost" walking, according to
Hoyle So, let US hope.--Americus
Times-Recorder.
Albany maintained team in the
South Atlantic League for five years.
She has paid good many thousands ct
dollars for the privilege, for not in any
season has the local club come any
where near paying expenses. A goC1
deal of the novelty of a thing can
wear off in five years, and therein
seems to lie the secret OF Albany's
surrender of her franchise Cities four
or five times as large as Albany have
fallen down. even harder than the
home town of the Babies" in their
Sally League ventures, and others
will likewise fall in years to come, I'M
less conditions greatly change.-Al-

ATLANTA'S MAYOR.
bany Herald

1t is more than likely that Asa G.
Gambler will be elected mayor of At
lanta He has announced his accept
ance of the invitation to be candidate,
and with the business interests of A.
ianta behind the Coca-Cola king he
will undoubtedly be the choice of the
majority.
Atlanta has suffered immeasurably
during the past two years by internal
strife. She has seen herself. cut t.
threads by her own people. And now
these same people propose to heal the
old wounds by the selection of well
known philanthroptst and inancier as
the official head of the city government
Atlanta would do well to elect Mr.
Gambler and with his will and way the
gate city" should come back.

WE THROW THE GAUNTLET.

ALI kinds Of advertising pays, but
thereHs good, better and best.
The best advertising, according 20
experts, is newspaper advertising. The
newspaper goes into the home and is
read by eevry member of the family
that can read and is heard read 10y
those who can't read The dodger is
read by only few, as compared to the
readers of the newspaper, and that but
one time, while the newspaper is
read from time TO time, as the oppor-
tunity presents.
Advertising can be divided into sew
eral classes, but the better class may
be termed constructive advertising.
This is the kind that builds up. That
takes things from the starting point
as it were and builds them to large
proportions. This kind of advertising
may not bring as good immediate re-
suits as some other kinds of advertis-
ing, but it is the kind thar counts ia
the end with large and satisfactory re-
sults-the kind that spells success of.
the advertiser. The direct benefits from
advertising cannot always be traced.
This is why some people say they dom;
believe in advertising, and a very err
roneous idea it is. The world was not
built in day. 1t took seven days to
do the job. So it is with advertising.
You cannot build up a big business
with one insertion of an advertisement
lie your local paper, nor with two or
three insertions, but if you will de-
side upon something to advertise and
then prepare your advertising careful
ly and intelligently, and keep at it, sue
cess is bound to crown your advertis-
ing efforts in the end.
Try it Mr. Merchant. May out an
advertising campaign; come around
and make trade with us for space
for year, and if at the end of that
time you can say truthfully that it
hasn't paid you, the trials will be on
us. and we won't ask you to advertise
further.
We throw down the gauntlet to, you,
the fellow who has never advertised,
and we dare you to take it up.

HIGH COST OF LIVING.


The high cost of living has been felt
by every housekeeper in America, and
is still being felt, especially in the high
price of meat, and which has been the
principal element in the high cost OF
living. The evidence of this is not
only in it's having been felt but seen.
The case needs no proof 1t could BE-
presented to any jury an verdict In
favor of the affirmation would be
reached without leaving the box. 1t is
none the less interesting, however, to
have actual figures showing the move
ment and, to some extent the operation
Of the law of supply and demand, as
affecting sales and prices. To this end
We have been studying bulletin issu-
ed by the Bureau of the Census Of the
Department of Commerce.
This bulletin gives facts and fgur-
es as to the industry of slaughtering
and meat packing between the years
1907 and 1914 inclusive.
1t is shown in this bulletin that
great number were forced out of the
meat consuming habit or at least
forced to a reduction of meat rations
by the steady advance of meat prices
during these years, as is shown by the
following comparative statistics:
In 1909, 4,2O9, 1865 pounds of fresh
beef were sold for 1927 1888, 465, while
in 1914, 3,65S,939, $50 pounds were sold
for $421 ,296, 794. With the amount con-
sumed in the last of these two years
over 550,O00,OOO pounds less than in
the first, it cost the consumers not far
from $1000OOO00 more. The same
story runs as to veal, consumption Of
which fell off nearly 6O,OOO,OOO pounds
while the price rose $1,25O,OOO. There
was an increase in the consumption of
pork of about 34O,OO0,OOO pounds which
cannot possibly account for all of the
enormous rise of $6S,OO0,O00 in price
An interesting fact in these disclose
ures is the growth of the mutton eat
ing habit, the increase being in pounds
1876 100000, and in value from $50,O00,-
900 to $74,OOO,OOO.
1t can be plainly seen that according
to these figures is due in part at least
the heavy advance in price to the cor
responding decrease in supply.
In 1914, 100000 fewer beeves were
than in 1909, while $780, !
900 more sheep, lambs, goats and kids
were slaughtered in the last year than
the first and approximately a million
more hogs. Since the date closing this
report, stock raising by farmers is said
to be growing more in favor, and re-
ceipts of cattle are more liberal. Prices
may show small diminutfon in con-
sequence, but the supply is not growing
il proportion to renewed demand arts.
ing out of present fictitious prosper
ity, the problem will not be solved in
that way.

TRADE UNIONISM LEADS.

Toronto. Ont.-"One only needs to
understand the great principles for
which trade unionism has always
stood" says the Industrial Banner,
when singlehanded it has had to fight
for reforms before they had yet be
come popular, to fully realize the broad
ness OF its democracy and the great in
huence it has exercised for good in the
world. While organized labor has agi-
tated for and secured shorter hours OF
labor, higher rates of wages. and has
vastly improved the industrial condi-
tions o! the army OF toilers, it has also
championed those principles OF reform
that must inevitably evolve wider and
a freer social atmosphere.
"Viewed in the light OF what it actu-
ally advocates and stands for, the de-
mocracy OF the trade union movement
is not even open to question. Labor al
ways has been, and is today, a leader
in the great battle for equality, liberty
and real reform"

PROSECUTOR DENIES CLAIM.

Youngstown, O-In opposing the
motion in Judge Andersons court that
indictments against the steel companies
be quashed, Prosecuting Attorney Hen
derson insisted that he had no inten

astounding as coming from attorneys
representing corporations that have
done more than any one else to make
labor commodity. "As far as | am
concerned" he continued, ''in the in
terest OF humanity | would rather have
this court hold that labor is not a com
modify Corporations have enjoned
labor unions. Union labor does not
make secret agreements to get higher
wages.
This indictment is not directed
against the payment OF higher wages.
1t is designed to prevent corporations
from combining to keep down wages
1t puts the brand OF bad faith upon the
corporations when they claim that these
indictments are aimed at union labor
Union labor is not to restrain COM
merce. Union labor seeks to obtain a
