 THE PETITION
 ITO the Amateur Athletic union of the United States
 We the undersigned clubs. colleges, schools, etc. hereby apply admission as the Southeastern Association of the Anna teur Athletic union.
 our new association are the states of South Carolina. Florida, Georgia, Ala bama. Tennessee and the northern part of Mississippi.
 "All of the undersigned clubs, col leges, schools, etc, are not members of the Amateur Athletic union, with the exception of the Birmingham Athletic club. Georgia Tech and Atlanta Ath- letic club
 "The reason why we desire to have this new association Is that the present southern association of the A. A. U. is entirely too large in territory and that better work for the promotion of anna teur athletics can be done if we are given territory we ask for, and also with less expense to the competing athletes when championships are held.
 "We agree. if admitted. to abide by the conditions to be named by the board of governors of the Amateur Athletic union. Respectfully yours,

WAGE cur NOTICE
Was Posted nj the Mine Changing
House on Wednesday

Or Wednesday hast notices were
posted on the bulletin boards OF the
changing houses at the Balkan and
Judson mines informing the men that
a cut OF Is per cent in the wage rate
now being paid would become effect
i've on February /. The notice was
not unexpected for d has been ru
mored about here for some time that
a cut would be made on the first OF
next month II was feared that the
cut would be a bigger one than II Is.
There has been decided slacken-
ing up I'm mining activity here as well
as at elsewhere Neither OF our
mines has closed nor has any of the
shifts been dropped. No men are be-
ing taken on however, and some are
being dropped right along as the
work they are doing Is completed and
the operators feel that can be let go.
The force at work Is about as small
as Il has been at any time in the past
three years. The Judson force a
mounts TO less than 100 men while
the Balkan numbers about $50. Is is
thought that the number will be car
ried throughout the winter.
The closing down OF the Dunn has
effected Alpha considerably as many
men lived here and worked at the
Dunn. II is understood that as soon
as the spring opens the Dunn shaft
will be concreted from the ledge TO

TARIFF: GIVEN WAY
lover D. c. MEASURE
Local Legislation Must Wait
While House Enters
Into Debate.

This is supposed to be District day
in the House. according to the House
calendar, with the Zihlman bill
| regulating the weight of loaves of
bread awaiting consideration. But
| the Districts priority right for the
time Of the House today was sum-
| marily brushed asile. Chairman
Fordney of the House ways and
means committee moved that the
House resolve itself into committee
| Of the whole and resume considera-
tion of the tariff bill. So District
legislation waits while the House
has given itself over to at least six
days OF general debate.
Committee Report.
The report from the House District
committee on the bill establishing
| standard weight for loaves of bread
| was available today. 1t says:
| The bread manufacturers OF the
! District. at hearing before the
District committee. stated that a
very large part of their business was
! in loaves of one and onc-half pounds
each. anu this was the weight Of the
large loaf most generally sold
| throughout the District.
| They also appeared before the Dis
! trlct commissioners. who advised them
| that they would approve the change
| al IAiC -" the DdkeTS "
sell loaves OF one and a half pounds
each. and that they would favor an
amendment to the weights and meas
ures bill permitting the sale Of bread
In loaves of one and a half pounds.
| say No Demand Exists.
| "They also contended that there is
no demand Tor two-pound loaf, and
| that 1t would be unfair to compel
purchasers to buy a loaf this size
| when they desire a smaller size loaf.
There Is ample safeguard provided
| in the law. which makes 1t mandatory
upon the bakers that every loaf Of
| bread sold or offered for sale shall
| have affixed thereon in a conspicuous
place label of at least one inch
| square. or. II round. at least one inch
in diameter on which should be print
| ed the weight of the loaf, and we
! therefore recommend this change in
! the law.
! The only change is the insertion of
the word pound and half"

CROPS AFFECTED BY HOT WEATHER

An Illinois crop bulletin has recently been issued by the state
department. Of agriculture showing the general condition Of the grow
ing crops July The month OF June everybody knows was
exceedingly hot and the rainfall consisted Of local showers indicating
unequal distribution OF moisture Wheat was affected bv the
conditions and matued too rapidly resulting poorly filed heads
causing the yield fall below expectations The estimate for the
winter wheat yield was $4,000 bushels which something like
toooooo below the estimate made June preceding and oooooo
greater than the yield for 1870
Approximately the acreage planted was the same as
that OF last year 86oooo The condition of the crops tax
ing the state whole, July was % per cent Of normal
suggesting yield OF nearly 3oOooooo Chnc bugs numerous
over wide threatening the future condition Of the crop
Spring grains said to have been seriously affected bv
the severe heat Of June and the yield per will probably average
light The adverse weather conditions have affected the crop
which will not high with alfalfa me averaging better
than timothy and clover.
Only fair yield OF potatoes be anticipated because Of the
heat combined with damage from insects Damage this essential
crop considered greater than the average
Fruit has suffered with other crops Apples will probably NOT
exceed onehfh OF normal crop the freezing weather OF March
and April having first worked serious damage which has been fol-
lowed by the hot weather and accompanying drought The same is
true of pears and peaches
The report as may be summarized that Illinois crops for
the present year will suffer in their Weld Timely rains will prove
OF benefit to such crops have naured such as corn late
potatoes and some OF the late small fruits
