For instance, by no possible computation can the in- creased freight rates be made to justify an increase of one cent per pound in the price of meat, or five cents per pair in the price of shoes, or ten cents in the price of suit of clothes, or one fourth of one cent in the price Of loaf of bread. Hence the public should be informed and the forces of governme ent should be on guard to see that no un- iustifiable burden is imposed on the people as a result of the interstate commerce commissions solution of the financial problems of the railroads
 MEANS COAL ADVANCE
 Coal, Mr. Lauck said was one com modity the price of which would be directly and appreciably increased' tc the consumers by the rate advance. the amount being from 75 cents to $125 per ton. Including all of the transpor tation costs entering into wholesalo meat prices. he asserted, naming tn hauling of feed to cattle and the move ment of livestock before killing tho maximum effect Of the advance would be less than one cent a pound.
 On flour, he said, the increased cos at Philadelphia would amount to B cents barrel. while on a suit clothes made. on the Atlantic coast an6 rctailed on the Pacific the increased freight would amount to nine cents.
 The great industries of the country could amply afford to deduct the in- creased freight rate from the price 0 their products" he added, after pre- senting some statistics on profits O producing corporations, thus allow ing the commodity to reach the re taller at the same price as formerly By so doing they would be decreasing their excess profits less than one fourth and would still have left their full normal profit and three -fourthf or more of the excess profit whict they are now making"

 Signor Tittoni reviewed the consider as the League of Nations could only recommend the use of military and naval forces to suppress aggression, the economic arm is one that they themselves have pledged themselves in advance to use against any of fender. Si gnor Tittoni pointed out that a central condinating authority was necessary to make use of the econonlc arm prompt and effective and insure mutual support among the memb CTS of The league in order to minimize losses and inconvenience resulting from a blockade.

 27t.2 First National Bank Building

Monteomerv, August 2-tSpecial)- After receiving an order requiring the Western Railway of Alabama ana Chattahoochee Valley railroad to con struct station at Lsnette, citizens or that town voluntarily came before the public service commission to ask that the effectiveness of the order be post poned until March 1, 1921. They stated that the financial condition Of the country is such now that they did not believe it fair to the railroads to force them to make this expenditure and that the citizens are willing to have the work postponed.
 Members of the commission had re- csived no notice a their monthly meet ing Monday that the roalroads operat ing in Alabama would file their peu- ton for an increase in intrastate rates in line with the increases in inter state rates granted by tho interstate commerce commission, but the peu- lions probably will be received during the month. ,
 As the increase on interstate traii v becomes effective September 1, the rail roads proDdbfy Nlll uefiiS " 'N ,., , intrastate rates at the same tune 1hls will necesstate special meeting o' inc public service commission, as a1 inquiry must be made similar to tha' of the interstate commerce commission Much of the evidence in Washington will be submitted in Montgomery.

 The railroad answered that the reve' nue from that point is nor sufficient to warrant great expenditure of money and that even if a station were neces- sary the financial condition of the road will not permit the expenditure oi such an amount at this time. Witnesses for Russellville answered that the com pany can construct a new passenger station with one month s receipts from that town alone.
 Appearing for the citizens of Russell vile were J. M. Clark, C. E. Wilson. Jr. Judge A. w. Hargett, Mason Douglass Mayor H. H. Horton, Travis Williams Hosea Hester, Nick Pettus, J. D. Wood X. Albert and s. A. Floyd.

SOrdid Side of Baseball

Edwin A. GoeWey, in Leslie S.
 There are many sport followers today who are outspoken in their desire for
 teams of youths. young men from IS to 24 who would speed up the game, put
 their hearts in the struggles and make
 the play sparkle.
 There was time when the men in the
 game actually possessed a love of the
 sport for its own sake and were not
 mere hirelings In those days the sal
 aries were small. and only upon the
 rarest occasions were players suspected
 1T ing which cannot be. said of modern baseball Then there were no talks of strikes by tea'Ns about to compete for a worlds championshin: that they might hold the toa-1 owners up for more money Picture the recent disturbances in training camp when the players threatened not to go on with their work because they objected to the way the clubs share of the worlds series prize
 money had been distributed. They want ed new division so that they would
 get an increase of exactly ssS l5 each. It is had to imagine collection of full grown men. supposedly sportsmen scramblng for that small sum Vel, you read about it in the newspapers and if il gave you any shock or sur prise. if simply was because you do not know much about the 'off-stage" side of some idols of the green diamond There are some ballplayers who arc so stingy that they would make Old Scrooge an
 pear like a spendthrift by comparison. lt would he relief and credit to the sport if such as these were retired. that
 they might forever cease striving to
 combine sport and niggardly financing. Salaries today are too high: they have spoiled the players. Let us get back te real sport. If smaller diamonds will
 encourage the younger hnvs to get in the
 game carly. learn it from the ground
 up. and then play it for a few years
 when they really are fast and enthu- stastic, give us thousands and thou sands of smaller diamonds in all parts of the country

understood that, though he can make

finds a precedent In the case Of Lord

tention of addressing the conference
in French. Monty Cory. having suf-
fered scraps Of his chiefs colloquial

piled to the British minister at Berlin
for assistance. Odo Russell lived up
to the occasion. In cnsual conversa

he intended to address the plenipo-
tentiarles on the following day In
French. "Thnt would" the willy min

Gentry Brothers Trained Animal Cir GUS will exhibit in Prescott on Monday, April 26. This will be the 32nd annual tour of this popular firm and many improvements have been made in their already excellent show. An entire wild animal circus has been added since its last appearance in this city and a stirring new patriotic spectacle will also be seen here for the first time. The Gentry Brothers program has al ways given the best of satisfaction in this city. In fact, it would be almost impossible to devise cleaner, more pleasing and interesting exhibition than the one given under the Gentry Trade Mark. The street parade this year is said to surpass all former eff forts and to be larger and better than previous years.
