The Baltimore Evening Sun notes an amusing economic law that grain prices fall when politicians promise relief and rise when farmers act independently.

June earnings reports show粉 improved gross and net incomes for many railways, lifting half year comparisons beyond expectations. The Pennsylvania led gains with over three million in gross revenue, while Lehigh Valley Norfolk and Western and Baltimore and Ohio roads also posted solid results amid broader northwest improvements and renewed farmer activity.

The piece notes a growing national sentiment against mob violence and praises a Georgia legislature proposal modeled on successful laws elsewhere. It would remove a sheriff for negligence in riots, fine the county for each lynching, and allocate part of the funds to victims’ families, with further reporting and investigation duties. It also cites a North Carolina case as evidence of rising law and order in the region.
The bulletin from Albert Lasker’s firm argues advertising is salesmanship in print, not factory or finance management, and its value lies in profit and public goodwill. It cites London heat, White’s critique of Coolidge, and praises quiet, effective first-raters who improve the world without hype.
