WORKERS
T0STR|KE

CHICAGO, Aug. S.-Rerresenta-
tives of forty-two union locals of
stockyard employees voted tonight for
a general strike tomorrow unless mi
litia, policemen and deputy sheriffS,
on duty to prevent race rioting, are
withdrawn from the yards. More than
100000 persons are employed in the
yards.
A strike was virtually begun today
when hundreds of white men quit
work after 5000 of the $4,000 ne
gro workers retul ned to TIE yards
under troop protection. They had
been compelled to remain at home be-
cause of last weeks rncc rioting.
The union men said they objected
to negro non-union workers, and not
to the workers simply because they
were negroes. They claimed that
about 5000 white men walked out
today but The packing company of
ficials placed the number at $50.
Before the strike vote officicls of
the stockyards labor council confer
red with Federal Judge Alschuler,
Federal arbiter in stockyard questions,
The negro question was discussed and
it was believed the aid OF Judge AL
schu,er in having the guards with
drawn also was sought.
The grand jury toGay voted indict-
ments against 23 more negroes, max
ing a total of "a negroes indicted for
participating in tn, recent riots. One
aegro, beaten in the riots, died today,
making the death list 36.

Paris Gets Food
Cheaper; No Mobs

PARIS, Aug. 7,-Such striking
success in reducing the cost OF food
has attended the efforts Of the Mont
martre consumers League that sim
liar bodies are being formed in other
parts of Paris.
These leagues are to watch prices
and, without violence, seek to have
overcharging stopped. Special COM
mittees will make the rounds among
dealers and providers every day.
On the first round of the Mont
martre Committee nearly every deal
er visited lowered prices. Some did
not even wait for the committee but
put down rates as soon as they heard
it was coming.
A few tried to make the excuse
that they had to buy foodstuffs al
higher prices than their competitors
They were told to be more careful II
their purchasers as their excuse
wouldn't be accepted.
So far the only "kicks" have come
from restaurant proprietors, who sa!
their patrons object to eating th'
american buffalo meat" supplied t.
them instead of frozen beef and a
the same price as fresh meat.

Yanks Quickest
of Soldiers

Willingly paid the American soldier
the highest compliment ! have ever
heard" said former Representative G..
T. Helvering, of Kansas, at Washing
ton. "The colonel was my neighbor
at a dinner in Paris q few months
ago, and during our conversation he
voiced his concurrence in the critic
ism made by Gov. Allen of Kansas
in his inaugural address concerning
the $4,000 casualties sustained by the
American forces in the Argonne
drive. | asked him how long he had
been on the front and and what the
French losses were, and he replied,

900 casualties. That, / said, is the
greatest compliment you could pos
sibly pay the American soldier, but
he did not seem to get the point. The
vital thing in the cruel business Of
war is to reach an objective. In the
three and half years that the French
held that line they lost 10000 men
and did not attain their objective.
The Americans lost half that number
and gained their objective in few
days of real fighting.
"The French colonel was inclined
to be proud of the magnificent dug
outs they have built, which if not de-
stroyed by artillery means will stand
for 100 years. | went over the ground
with an American colonel, and the
shallow trenches where the Yankees
had dug in were almost obliterated.
There was no permanency about their
quarters. They had an objective
ahead, and the forged ahead with un-
precedented rapidity until they reach
ed it. Europeans had never seen such
soldiers, and l firmly believe they
never will have occasion to see them
again. / believe that Argonne drive
was fully justified, for the tricky Hun
could not be trusted, and there is no
way of telling what would have hap
pened if that drive had not been car
ried to a successful conclusion"

Tennessee Wheat
Bring $R,OOO,OOO

Il NASHVILLE, Aug. 8.-From the
best information available it is esti-
mated that the wheat crop in Tennes-
see this year will bring the farners
| in the neighborhood of $112,000,000
|The yield for the state has been plac-
ed at between five and six million
busl- els from more than 100000
acres. The yield WIS less than had
been anticipated, and the Middle Ten
nessee crop was reduced more than
|one-fourth by cool win1 which kill
led the bloom. This years crop is
about the same as ten years ego, only
this year the grain growers received
over So per bushel, while ten years
ago the price paid them WIS $1.02
per bushel.
This years wheat crop shows the
changes which arc taking place in the
state in wheat growing. The general
average yield per acre was about 9
bushels, which is two bushels less than
the 10-year average of Ill bushels
/ flor the decade. 1908-1917.
While Middle Tennessee has gen.
ierally been regarded rs the main
wheat growing section of the state,
this year both East and West Ten
nessee counties made better average
per acre. East Tennessee counties
averaged about 91s bushels per acre,
while West Tennessee had yield per
acre of 1-3 bushels. Middle Ten
nessea counties had an average of
about 718 bushels per acre. This
change in conditions is attributed to
1 the fact that the West Tennessee
are ucing ground limestone by the
ton, the East Tennessee farmers are
using acid phosphate by the ton to
increase their yield and it is not re-
ported that Middle Tennessee is fer
tilizing much. The state Department
of Agriculture has had reports from
wheat harvest in 23 counties in East
Tennessee, 18 counties of the % in
West Tennessee, and 80 of the al
counties in Middle Tennessee. AS a
rule farmers are marketing their
grain promptly anc not waiting on
the market, as in former years.
From reports Of crop correspond
ents to the Department of Agricul.
ture, Jefferson County in East Ten
nessee and Lake County in West Ten.
nessee led all the rest of the counties
in average yield, each threshing 20
bushels per acre. Bedford county lee
Middle Tennessee counties with Is
bushels, Franklin, Coffee and Moore
counties each reported yield of Ia
bushels per acre.

Stocks of Food
Held in Storage

WASHINGTON, Aug. S.--Al-
though prices of practically all i'm
portant foods have shown substan-
tial increase during the last year,
stocks of food held in storage on
June /, this year, were approximate
ly greater than those held on June |,
1918, according to memorandum
showing the relation between storage
figures and prices issued yesterday
by the federal trade commission.
Government stocks were excluded
from this comparison.
"The fact that stocks of many i'm
portant foods were much larger on
June / this year than on the same
date last year." said the commission
er's statement, while prices were as
high or higher apparently means that
they are being withheld speculative
ly for a world demand which is not
now here, but which is expected when
hunger-impelled strikes secure higher
wages with which food prices can be
paid"
To show that the "law of supply
and demand is not working" the
commission listed eight staple foods
which on June 1 showed an increase
in stocks withheld from the market
ranging from three to 298 per cent
over stocks on June 1, 1918 and in
each instance there was shown to
have been a substantial advance in
the wholesale price during that per-
iod. Stocks of frozen fowls showed
maximum increase of 298 per cent
| and the price, despite this fact, in
creased three cents a pound. Wheat
stocks showed an increase Of TIA per
cent, with an increase in price of 81
cents; flour stocks an increase of Fl
per cent, with an increase in the price
per barrel of nearly $500; egg stocks,
an increase of 9.S per cent, with an
increase in price of II cents, and but
ter stocks an increase of 129 per
cent, with the price soaring IL cents
above last years figure. Salt beef,
canned salmon, and canned corn COM
pleted the items in his table, the lat
ter showing an increase of 81 pei
cent in stocks with an increase in
price.
All dry storage stocks, according
to the commissions figures, showed
an average increase of 124 per cent
Of these not listed In the above table
stocks of rye increased 346 per cent
barley 207 per cent; buckwheat 32I
per cent and canned tomatoes, 201
per cent.
Increase in other cold storage
stocks were shown as follows: CureC
beef, 103 per cent; frozen lamb anC
mutton, 81 per cent; frozen pork, q
per cent; and picked pork, 10 PEE
cent.

Crop Conditions
in Tennessee

NASHVILLE, Aug. 8.-Following
is o summary of weather and crop
conditions in Tennessee for the week
ending August 5. The showers of
July 80 to August 2 were unevenly
distributed, and while they reached
probably all parts of the state and
were very beneficial, they were too
light in many localities to completely
relieve the drought. However, the
conditions generally were much more
favorable at the end Of this week than
they were at the end of the preceding
week. Corn made good progress in
most sections. Ears are forming on
old corn. Much corn is late and will
have chance to recover the recent
drought. On an average the present
condition of corn is fairly good to
good; in some localities very good,
but in some small areas poor. The
week was favorable to cotton which
has not suffered much from lack of
moisture. Its general condition is
fair to good. It is generally well
worked, its color is good, and it is
fuiting fairly we'll, but the crop gen.
orally is about three weeks late. To-
bacco, Irish potatoes, sweet potatoes,
beans and peas for hay, millet and
peanuts made fairly good progress.
The peach crop is turning out well in
some sections, but in many places it
is very poor. Apples are scarce and
poor. Gardens were greatly bene-
fitted by the rains, and pastures were
revived. The rains also had the i'm
portant effect of putting the ground
in condition for blowing and prepar-
ing for the fall sowing grains.

When You Go
Vacationing
(BY Briee Belden, N. d.

NDy bEISS bStuOh, HA' ~
The object of going on a vacation
is generally to restore or build up
ones health, but occasionally it hap
pens that illness is contracted while
away. How this comes about, and
how it may be avoided, it may profit
us to study for a moment.
Probably most cases of typhoid
fever are contracted in August A
person goes away in that month, seems
to be benefited by his outing, and re-
turns home in September. Soon after
his return he begins to feel tired and
chilly, loses his appetite, has some
headache and backache, coughs lit.
tie, and perhaps has nossbleed. ThCr
fever begins, which rises little
more every day, and it becomes more
and more evident that typhoid has
claimed another victim.
Now what has happened to bring
this about? The answer is that there
was something the matter with the
sanitation of the summer resort &C
recently left by the patient. To b'
specific, there was probably some
thing the matter with the w2ter sup
ply. 1t had become contaminated b!
sewage. The patient may have drunl
this water, or milk from cans washed
with it.
One typhoid patient in a countr!
district may be the cause of infect
ing scores of persons, the infection
being carried either by the water sup
ply in the manner described, or b!
flies which carry infected filth to food
or by persons who have had typhoic
fever and who are still throwing of
the germs while working as food hand
lers (the so-called "carriers.")
Aside from typhoid fever contain
ination of water by sewage leads t.
the setting up of various types o
acute intestinal disorder.
Shiftless methods of handling mill
lead to illness unless the milk is pas
teurized.
Shiftless methods of handling garb
age end putrefying material swell tn
sick list at some of our "health re
sorts" Such water must be prompt
ly disposed of and at all times s.
kept as to exclude flies.
Don't take a chance on a summe
resort where the general sanitar
conditions are not good. You dom
have to be an expert to know whet
things are not reasonably cloan.
