Over Private Wires
shannon & Co.'S Letter

New York, June 19-The market today has been much more quiet and inclined to sag. The violent rebound from the break would seem to have spent itself. Money was easier today. but until after July 1 it will not ease off materially. The situation abroad is watched with keen interest as it's bearing on the fu- ture of the world may be of the utmost importance. :,
 We still feel reactionary in our senti- ments, although we do not anticipate anything like a serious decline.
 We believe we will have an up ano down market with two sides to it, with probably a tendency towards moderate lower prices. Total sales, 1,25S, ,20o--Post & Flagg.

FIGHT SHIFTS FROM
GERMANS TO GERMS

Wasn't Alexander that ancient
gentleman who wept copiously be-
cause there were no more worlds to
conquer? From that day to this there
have been few folks to sympathize
with him. But if his illustrious shade
could have been present at the Red
Cross conference sometime last win
ter he would have found himself in
most congenial company. For see
what the leaders were up against
the Huns were licked, the soldiers
were coming home, most of them as
good as overland that vast organi-
cation of loving hearts, known as the
American Red Cross, seemed to be in
danger of losing its job. 1t was here
that a learned gentleman spoke up.
"Fellow workers, why did we want
to win the last war, to make the
world safe for democracy-why
should we want to keep up the fight,
to keep the world safe. Let us now
turn our attention to the one thing
which is more odious to the Ameri-
can people than the late lamented
German kultur, I refer to -"
and with one accord the learned gen.
tlemen rose and shouted
"Down with the germs"
So that is how it began, and if
space permitted l would tell you of
the hot discussion which followed and
of how all the pacifsts who believed
in letting things alone and who ar
gued holly that grandpa and grand
ma never had no public health nurse
to come a-looking after them,
accounting their decayed teeth, and
passing unkind comments on their
tonsils" were finally over ruled by
the progressive party who believed in
preparedness first last and always,
and who voted to form a league of
every school child in America, with
a standing army of soap and water,
tooth brushes and fresh air, prepared
for immediate action-the whole to
be supported earnestly by reserves
of parents, teachers and physicians,
though actual leadership in the field
was to be intrusted to the Red Cross
Public Health Nurse.
The first move of the campaign was
to get rid of slackers Miss Myrtice
Brown, Cobb county's nurse is now
inspecting the Marietta Public
Schools and reporting to the parents
all cases of adenoids abnormal ton
sis, defective vision, malnutrition,
ETC. After the conclusion of the
formal inspection she will visit as
many of the children as possible, but
because she has a big county to work
with and a great many kiddies to care
for, she will be unable to make all
of the desired calls. She will be

Senator Sherman indicated the
basis of the various stories touching
this matter when he said 'cloakroom

Penrose said he had been informed

to this country presents from crown
ed heads and foreign governments
amounting to several million dollars.
Presents for the President
Here are the facts:

PLANS MADE FOR
ARMENIAN DRIVE
Chairman Metz Has Appointed Com.
mittee TO Raise Pullman's Quota
of $122i for Worthy Cause

The drive for the relie- Of the Ar
menians and Syrians, which is o ma
tion-wide movement, directed by a
committee named by congress, will be
held from January Ii to 10. Thirty
millions are needed and Whitman
eountys quota is $500. Pullman
and vicinity will be asked To raise
$I224. A II. Metz has been named
as local chairman aud associated with
him is the following committee: Prof.
II. V. Carpenter, James 5. Klemgard,
j. n. Emerson, w. l.. Greenawalt.
Mrs. Serena Mathews and Mrs. Bah
renberg.
The committee held its first meet
ing New Years morning and outlined
plans for the raising of the local
quota. The district comprises Pull
man and 20 adjacent school districts.
Each school clerk viii be asked to act
as sub-chairman in his district. Ar
rangements will be made to have So
licitors in the places of business on
Saturday, January / 1, and on Friday
afternoon, January II, and all day
Saturday, January Is. Subscriptions
will be received at any time during
the drive by the various stores, but
special efforts will be made on the
days mentioned above.
The American Committee for Relief
in the Near East, formerly the Amer
lean Committee for Armenian and
Syrian Relief, is one of the strongest
committees directing any OF the hui
manitarian work of our people, and
the territory includes Asia Minor,
the Causucus, Armenia, Persia and
Northern Egypt. The sufferings OF
these peoples is almost beyond belief.
Reliable statistics show that one mil
lion of these people have died of star
walton and massacre, and the surviy-
ors number nearly four millions. To
prevent further starvation it is nee
essary that relief be given them and
it is for this purpose that these funds
will be used.
During the last drive for this fund
local people will remember the stir
speaker who addressed a large audi,
ence al the Methodist church, and al
those who heard him were shocked
by the recital of the atrocities com.
mitted on these people.
All relief funds are transmitted
through our Department of State ant
every dollar subscribed goes direct
for relief, as all overhead expense ii
met privately. Some may ask the
question: Why doesn't the Red Gross
do it? The answer is that the Rec
Cross found the machinery for relic

The commissions work is not only o
relief, but of repatriation and recon
struction.

huge winter wheat crop, larger b!
S0,000,000 bushels than any yield il
the history of American agriculture
was forecast today by the depart
ment of agriculture.
Realization of the government,
appeal made before the coming OF
peace, saying an acreage of 1880,
00a was desirable, was in sight, ant
the guaranteed price of $3.50 a
bushel for wheat stimulated eXtraor-
binary effort on the part of the farm
ers, said the department announce
ment. AS result 49,02T 900 acres
were planted during a long and al
most perfect season.
The fall growing season has been
one of the finest ever known, result
ing in the crop being in the best
condition ever recorded on Deem
Der l.
Allowing for the average spring
abandonment of acreage due to win
ter killing, the department an
nounced that winter wheat gives
promise of total production of 1885,
100000 bushels An average spring
wheat crop would place next year
production of wheat beyond 1,000,-
100000 bushels and exceed the rec
ord crop Of 1915. Last years spring
wheat production was 1868, 900, 900
bushels.
Washington showed the largest
percentage of increase in winter
wheat acreage, it being 1876, with the
total acreage $4,000 Iowa showed
100 per cent increase with 10000
acres. In Oregon and California the
condition OF the crop was 100 and the
increase in acreage % and AZ per
cent, respectively.
After the official forecast of rec
ord breaking wheat production had
been made public there was consid-
cradle speculation as to whether the
government would sustain loss in
supporting the guaranteed price oil
$500 per bushel through the 1919
production year. Opinion on the
subject apparently was divided.
Some officials said the govern
ment is assured of full return on all
the wheat consumed in the United
States, because of the control of mar
kets and shipping, and the American
consumption probably will be great
ly expanded with all restrictions on
its use removed.
They also said it was not at all
certain that even the prospective
bumper crop of American wheat will
produce world surplus, with Rus
sian sources shut off, and the new
Argentine crop being absorbed now
by France and England as fast as if
is threshed.
