ATHENS ABBATTOIR A SUCCESS
For many years an abbattoir was discussed
'for
this city, but the matter dragged along and nothing
definite was done with the project until last year
when the butchers of the city organized and built
„ nP Submitting a ]>r«p***it«>in to *be mayor and
couiici! of their Intentions, the matter was favorably
passed upon by that '.o.'v and in a few months a
modern and up-to-date abbattoir was in operation.
Under the present management it has proved a finan
cial success, but the greatest succes of all has been
that it has proved an absolute protection to the
consumers of Athens from diseased meats. Every
animal slaughtered must be ca ied to the abbattoir
and given a thorough inspection and then kept at
the plant for twenty-four hours before it can be
- slaughtered in order to make certain that the ani
mal is not in any manner effected by disease which
would produce illnes or death to the consumer.
While it has its critics whose objections arise, no
doubt, caused from the slight inconvenience to those
who have their slaughtering done at the plant,
yet the importance of having absolute protection
from impure meats should outweigh nny objection
from individuals.
Another feature which has been worth while to
the community is the large increase shown in the
use of home raised meats. * More cattle, hogs and
sheep are being raised and sold in this market than
ever before. Native beef cattle, properly fed and
cared for produce superior meat to the western
meat shipped here from other points. The demand
for cattle and hogs is growing and the field for cat
tle and hog raising is more desirable today than it
has'ever been. Every pound of meat raised in this
section can be used by the-local butchers and at a
price profitable to the raiser. Cattle and hog rais-
' ^ jng is a new industry which can be made a paying
one in this section and finds a ready money market
at all times for the producer. .

THE JEWISH HALL OF FAME
That the Jewish people of this nation have made
tbmr way successfully in commerce, finance, litera-
r t^'ejnd in law is borne out from an editorial which
appeared recently in the New York World. The \
JewiUi people in business have proved their worth
- anp,.ability to cope with all conditions and succeed
when other ..atio -alities have not succeeded. This
™ oth , CI ' avocations as will be seen from sta-

supported and edited by Jewish people. Here fa
what the New York World has to say on the subject:

bune, the twelve outstanding Jews of the world
are Albert Einstein, Chaim Weizmann, Israel
« nZangwill, Louis Marshall, Louis D. Brandcte,

Chaim Bialik, Stephen Wise, Henri Bergson and
'-*■ ■ Arthur Schnitzler. Five of these men are au-
< tpow, three are engaged in the field of law or
t politics, one is a chemist, one a mathematician,
Sjfljj® * rabbi and one a philanthropist. The writ-
v ten wo ™' I* w evident, fa at present the readiest
passport of the race into the hall of fame.

ly every other race-to fame at present, and to

list of all the persons mentioned in the contest.
