UNCLE SAM TELLS
HOWTO BOY FOOD
OF GOVERNMENT
ATLANTA, Aug. 12.—According
to a statement from th e Sales Direc
tor of the War Department, Wash
ington, made public here today, all
States, counties or municipalities
may designate civic bodies, groups of
citizens or individuuals to purchase
and distribute surplus subsistence
stores at cost, provided the Gover
nor, Mayor or other proper authority
furnishes them with credentials and
guarantees, both strict supervision
and prompt remittance under terms
of sale. .
States, counties or municipalities,
strictly charitable institutions will be
allowed ten days after receipt of
goods in which to make remittance.
If municipalities or other locaj
governments, owing to their charter
or laws, are unable to buy and sell,
subsistence stores will be sent them
upon consignment, goods to be paid
for or returned within thirty days
from their recipt. Shipments of this
kind will be mad e only when the
mayor of the city or head of the lo
cal government either acts as the
government’s agent and supervises
the distribution of the food or ap
points some one to act. The muni
cipality pays freight from the point
of shipment, and pays freight on any
goods returned.
Government food will probably go
on sale in Atlanta today. The first
order was for SIO,OOO of mixed
canned vegetables and meats, mak
ing about four carloads. Restrictions
to prevent hoarding and price-raising
hav e been arranged.

As a vessel is known by the sound,
whether it be cracked or not, so men
are proved by their speeches, whether
they be wise or foolish.—Demosthenes.

PROPERTY OWNERS
MUST CUT WEEDS
City Marshal C. B. Pouncey today
inaugurt. 1 a crusade against prop
erty owner who permit their prop
erty to beco,;._ cvergrown with weeds
in violation of he city health laws,
and it is announced that failure to
comply with the note of warning
sounded will result in arrests being
ordered, Mosquitoes and other in

heartily in the effort to have all un
necessary weeds on vacant property
cut and hauled off.

PACKERS ARE
FLAYED BY SEN.
WM. J. HARRIS
ATLANTA, Aug. 12.—“ The pack
ers are making an effort to frighten
the cattle and hog raisers of Georgia
by say.ng that the proposed legis
lation m Congress will destroy this
thriving industry in Georgia,” de
clared United States Senator Harris,
of Georgia, in an exclusive state
ment today to the Gilreath Press
Syndicate. Senator Harris arrived
in Atlanta yesterday to spend a few
days with “home folks” and will go
from here to his home in Cedartown.
*9 have come to the conclusion re- '
garding the packers'ffiy carefully ex
amining the hundreds of telegrams
and letters which I received from
Georgia,” continued Senator Harris.
“No one would think of saying that
all of the people of Georgia who are
opposed to the Kenyon and Kendrick i
bills are influenced by propaganda
from the packers. My statement that
agents of the packers are at work
in Georgia i& true as evidenced by
the letter of Mr. J. R. Willcox, of
Fitzgerald, Ga., which I had read
in the Senate. Th e nam e of Mr.
Willcox was sign'ed to a telegram
protesting against the bills, without
his knowledge and he did not know
the message had been sent until I
acknowledged its receipt.
“One of the bills has been intro
duced by Senator Kendrick, of Wy
oming, one of the largest cattle pro
ducers in that section of the coun
try. It is not to be supposed that
the Wyoming Senator would espouse
such a measure if it meant ruin to
his interests. Cattle raises all over
the country demand this legislation.
“The packers are .paying three
cents per pound less for hogs in this
State than in any other section of the
country. The Federal Trade Com-
I mission is now investigating this dis
crimination under a resolution which
I introduced in the Senate. The cattle
and hog raising is fast growing in
Georgia and the- facts to be shown
by the investigation'should prove of
| great benefit in shedding more light
| on the reasons for the indifference
i in prices for hogs.
“The proposed legislation to regu
late the packers has a far-reaching
effect and interest to every person
in Georgia, and when the measures
i are taken up for discussion and final
| action, the interests of the cattle and
| hog growing people wilt be fully pro
tected.”
