Full- CARNIVALS AND STREET SHOWS ‘‘ From time Immemorable carnivals and street shows have been-menaces to communities in which they ' have plyed their trades, demoralizing and otherwise disrupting the usual order of commercial routine. It is true the people engaged in these enterprises spend gome money in the city with the restaurants, cafes -and no doubt some with other lines of business, but as ! ■ a whole it is not an income of any great amount to iHe business interests of the community and thp amount they carry away exceeds by far that which they leave. Besides under the shield of a local or ganization, they appeal to the mayor and council for free license and other equities from the citygovern ment for which in return they offer nothing. The percentage received by the local ^organization from 7 these companies docs not amount to as much as the OUcense.granted by the city and it would be far better .if the mayor and council would appropriate the amount of the license direct to the local order rather than to waive or remit the licenses. " Ri addition to this feature of demoralization in business circles, gambling features of more or less proportions are practiced. The commercial or prize- wheelg~are operated extensively and while the amount placed on the numbers or on the colors on the board is not in any large denomination of coins, yet in a whole the losses to those who take the chances do amount to considerable or else the operator would not be engaged in the business. Certainly no operator would conduct a machine which would give to the 'player an equal chance with the operator or even on a 50-50 basis. To say the least, all games of chance are demoralizing and breeders of destruction for the young and the making of hardened characters of the old. For the sake of that which is right and for the sake of upholding the morals of the community and for ■ the prevention of a demoralizing influence on the I public^we call on the mayor and council to exercise the authority vested in them by the citizenship of this k&Ommunity to prohibit any such performances by any aggregation of carnivals or street shows. The business men; the church-going people; those whose duty it is to protect the interests of students , «nd the educational institutions here; the professional element and those in ail walks of life who believe in .better morals and better society and the protection of the youth from such influences will endorse the action of the mayor and council in passing an ordi nance prohibiting exhibitions commonly presented by carnivals or street shows, tented or otherwise, on the '.strectstor in public grounds in Athens or its environs. THEIR OWN BREAD AND MEAT J I When the Georgia farmer commences to eat his own bread and meat this state will be one of the most prosperous in the union. • Every farmer should raise enough com and wheat xkiid meat for his own consumption, if no more. Com .raised in this state is far more nutritious and makes u better and more palatable meal than the western corn. . The fanner who raises hogs should never sell any pork except his surplus. When he sells to the xoarket man he loses the lard, jowls, the feel and in- ’side organs such as liver and kidneys which will ^amount to at least one fourth the value of the hog. Of course if he raises a sufficiency for his own use it is profitable to soil whatever he may have left over, but to sell his hogs and buy western meat is suicidal finance and unbusinesslike. 1 Home-raised meat and bread will bring prosperity into every farm home and make the most independ ent class of citizenship we have. There is no excuse for the average farmer buying a pound of meat or bushel of meal. He should raise it at home. The ar- i gunu nt that weevils eat up the com and that meat cannot be cured successfully is a mistaken idea—it has been prbved that corn can be kept free from the weevil and that meat can be cured and kept for years and years.. The time has come for u* to eat our own products ahu tite sooner wc commence, tho better off will be the entire state. « CO-OPERATION OF CIVIC BODIES Athens has a Chamber of Commerce with several h ti ml red members; a Rotary club and a Kiwanis club, 'Rhd then there is the mayor and council. All of those organizations are striving for the upbuilding of - tho city and for bringing together our people for the purpose of improving conditions both commercial apd 'civic. - Would it not be a good idea for these organi zations and representatives from the mayor and feotincH to set aside one meeting day each month for folding a co-operative meeting at which time the members of these various clubs could meet as one tody and inaugurate and co-operate. in movements ; for the betterment of the city. It seems to us that much good could be derived from such a gathering iKRd that the community would prosper from con- ‘«rted action joined in by all of these agencies. It wouid-make up a representative body of men who g» not only interested in business conditions, but the **"icial citizen as well as the laymen would be at- |fo and with a'l classes working hand In hand enterprises or-other improvements for the the success would be assured. We believe the suggestion is worth considering and before many more meetings are held by these organ izations, we hope to see some definite action taken looking towards bringing them together for an occa sional meeting for a round table discussion of the things we need in Athens.
