Berkman, anarchist, convicted of con
spiracy against the draft law and now
on bail waiting to be taken to the At

port him to Russia instead of sending
him to prison.- Berkman’s case has
recently been the subpect of repre

order in federal court here today di
recting Emma Goldman and Berkman

SOULE WARNS OF
MEAT SHORTAGE
EXPECTED SOON
ATLANTA, Ga., Feb.
may expect a temporary shortage of
frozen meat in about a week or ten
days, according to a warning issued
by lir. A. M. Soule, state food ad
ministrator, and should govern her
cf nsumption of meats in the meantime
accordingly.
Dr. Soule states that the shortage
is due to a lack of supply of live
stock, but to difficulties now foreseen
in the transportation of meat within
the next ten days. The state food
administrator has sent out warnings
tQ .all local food administrators giv
ing positive directions that during the
antcipated shortage there must be no
in reusing of prices either by whole
salers or retailers.
He urges that the situation be met
by an immediate curtailment of the
use of meats and the substitution of
fish and other foods as far as possi
ble until the situation is relieved.
In meeting the conditon t is fortu
nate that heavy catches of Spanish
mackerel are being reported, and this
fish is one of the most excellent sub
stitutes for meat. This fish, first grade,
scaled, should sell in Georgia mar
kets at from 22 1-2 to 25 cents a
pound, while other grades of fiish
now (available should be sold at
even lower prices. A more general
use of fish during the expected meat
shortage will result in no inconven
ience being experienced by anyone as
a result of the condition.

BOLSHEVIKI CONSUL
TO BE TURNED DOWN
WASHINGTON, D. C., Feb. 2.
John Reed, an American writer, ap
pointed Russian" consul general at
New York will find when he attempts
t ; assume his duties that he has no
official standing before the American
government.
Officials at the state department ex
plain that until recognition of the
Bolsheviki. at least as a de facto
power, had been extended, no exequt
tur could be issued to any consular
appointee of Russia. The position of
the state department is wholly techni
cal, and was not taken because of Mr.
Reed’s indictment under the espionage
law in New York. It is customary in
the case of a new government to con
tinue the recognition of consuls ap
pointed under the old government and
who are continued at the same posts
by the new.

For
Seventy-Three
Years
The Mutual Benefit Life Insurance Company of
Newark, New Jersey, has stood for all that is
best in life insurance.
More than nine thousand satisfied Georgia policy
holders—many of them your friends and neigh
bors—will gladly testify to its merits.
This Is the Company:
That furnishes insurance at absolute cost, with a
most liberal policy contract giving cash, loans
and other values from the FIRST year.
That has the unique practice of extending to old
members every improvement, advantage of con
venience which may be offered to the new in
surer—bringing the old policies up to date, in so
far as possible.
That writes a very large proportion o its busi
ness from year to year on its old customers.
That treats every member as a -partner, and on
that account has attained a nation-wide reputa
tion as “A Policyholders Company.”
That helps to “keep money at home,” which is
demonstrated by the fact that the amount loaned
on Georgia farms and other payments to Georgia
citizens has exceeded the total premiums collect
ed in the state for several years.
That has increased its dividend scale three times
and also declared four Special Dividends within
the past eight years, thus indicating economical
management.
