Lausanne@The voice of far-away
Angora, heard through the mouth of
Hassan Bey, who has just returned
from the capital. was so discordant to
the allied representatives that many
wonder whether the near east confer
ence ver would progress toward peace.
Ismet Pasha. who backed Hassan
Bey, could neither be threatened nor
cajoled into seeing the financial ques-
tons affecting Turkey as the allied
delegates wanted him to see them. He
said the Turks had made concessions
ever since they came to Lausanne, and
that IT was about time the allies recip-
rocated.
AS some of the allies feel they have
gone far enough in the matter of con
ciliation they did not seem to know
whether to accept this as a serious dec
laration. but Ismet laughed outright for
the first time since the Inauguration OF
the conference and most OF the Euro
diplomats got the impression that
Mustapha Renal Pasha's favorite gen.
eral was having his little joke.

, attention Of the buying public Of
Atlanta on July Fourth; national
holiday observed by quite num-

CROP FORECASTS ARE
VERY ENCOURAGING
Business Outlook This Fall En-
HANGED by Prospective Crops
Worth Billions

NEW YORK, July 18.-Favor-
able crop forecasts, made by the
government and apparently shoW-
ing a prospective value of prod
ucUs amounting to $1,000,00U,O00
in excess of last year, have dem
onstrated once more the basis of
good business outlook Of the au-
tumn. Further growth in rail-
road traffic, with loading often
considerably above 100000 tons
weekly, indicate the unusual height
of current trade volumes. Good
fiscal reports and earnings condi-
tions shown by many corporations,
especially the railways, for the first
six months Of the current year,
point to the actual existence of
sound, strong basis of business
resting on past accomplishments.
With these elements to support it
the market has naturally tended to
shake off the depression from
which it has suffered, and has ex-
Inhibited a more optimistic turn dur
ling the past week.
Significance of Crop Report.
The crop report is undoubtedly
the most important development of
the week. Although it points to
condition for wheat of 1873 per
cent, as against a ten year average
of SOL per cent, the yield thus
indicated being some 41,000,000
bushels below the 862,000,000 of
1922, the general conditions reveal
ed by the report are fully as good
as expected, while the indicated
gain in the value of principal pro-
duets over last year is fully ST.
600, 100000. This throws a bright
light on the recent claims of spe-
cial depression on the part of the
farming class, and shows the i'm
provement in the agricultural re-
gions already widely noted may be
expected to hold good during the
summer and autumn. That condi-
lions in the interior Of the country,
largely satisfactory from a trade
standpoint, are fully to be expect
ed is likewise suggested by the llg-
ures for retail and wholesale bust
ness, which point to a strong growth
of demand in many regions. In
order to guard against any posi-
bility of difficulty the Federal
Reserve Board has sent out letters
calling attention to the need of
generous and abundant financing
in order to take care of" the
farmer, and to insure steady, reg
ular movement of his produce to
market.

loyalty among its employees sell
dom experienced in the conduct of
similar businesses by granting all
of its employees, at some period
during The summer months, one to
two weeks vacation, depending up
on the length of time employed by
the company. This vacation is
granted full pay, and means in the
aggregate thousands upon thou
sands of dollars paid to its en-
rloyes while enjoying their vaca-
ltioa And the Journal Of Labor is
lraI;aIlv Informed that this eompa-
ny goes step further in look
! ing after the welfare of its en-
ployes. 1t not only encourages
particularly its younger men -
along lines of thrift and industry,
helping them financially as far as
| possible, to purchase homes, but
that in times of stress and sick
ness the company goes down into
its pockets and renders aid to the
family Of any employee when mis-
fortune of any kind overtakes the
head of the family. 1t has paid
out many Notwithstanding thou
sands-of dollars within the past
year or so for doctors bills, medi-
cines, hospital treatment and the
Hike, for its various employees when
a need of this sort arises.
Certainly this one of the ele-
ments in the conduct of its bust
ness that has made the tRogIars
company such a leader in the dis
tribution of pure food products
throughout this state and section.
| It's unusual growth-growinG from
a handful of stores to practically
two hundred within the past few
years-has shown the wisdom of
its policy of not only fair treat
ment to the public, but also fair
/ and loyal treatment to its employ
es. 1t is really more than an or
! ganization-it is an institution-a
