URGES TARIFF ON
MEAT BE LIFTED
Argentine Republic Would Send
Surplus Supply Here. Caus
ing Big Cost Reduction.
NIAGARA FALLS. Aug 9.—An at
tack upon the meat tariff made
by Milo Westbrooks. chairman of the
legislative committee, in his report be
fore the International Stewards associ
ation here. Westbrooks concluded his
remarks with the statement that "with
the tariff off meats round steak will go
to ten cents a pound and other cuts will
be proportionately cheap."
By a vote of the convention, the leg
islative committee was instructed to
start a vigorous campaign to have u
Federal law passed that will admit
meats to the United States free of duty.
“According to the year book of the
department of agriculture." said the
speaker, "the number of milch cows
in this country has not Increased dur
ing the past five years. As the milch
row is the source of the supply of beef,
»<■ can not look for any immediate In
crease in the domestic supply. We,
therefore, must continue to pay ex
orbitant prices for meat or turn to the
foreign markets for a supply adequate
to meet the growing demands.
"The finest of grass is grown in great
abundance in the Argentine Republic,"
continued the speaker. This, with per
fect climatic conditions, makes the Ar
gentine an ideal place to raise tattle
and sheep, for they graze out in the
open 365 days in the year. Considering
the fact that only seven per cent of the
acreage of the Argentine Republic is
under cultivation and that their ex
ports of meats have increased 500 per
cent during the past ten years, we need
not worry about an ample supply of
meat if our legislators will amend the
laws by removing the tariff on it and
thereby open the doors for the Argen
tine Republic to dispose of their rapid
ly increasing surplus.”

Steam Shove] Hushed
For Sick Woman.
A city hall man today told a story of
rather striking instances of considera
tion. Here they are:
J. W Maddox was grading a lot at
the corner of Walton and Bartow
streets, where R. M Grant will erect a
new building He has a time contract
and was lushing the work with a noise,
steam shovel. George W. Muller ap
proached him
"I know this is an unusual request,"
he said, "but my sister is at the point
of death at that hospital a< rots the
why and the noise of your steam shove!
disturbs her very much I want you to
stop the shovel until she has passed the
ci isle."
Mr. Maddox consulted Mr Grant and
today the shovel has stopped. And h<
promised that the workmen would be
quiet until there was a change in the
woman s condition.
City Clerk Walter Taylor was re
minded by this to tell how he kept a
crowd of baseball fans quiet at every
game for a week because of the Illness
of a woman near by. It was at the old
grounds on Jackson street. Every aft
ernoon he walked out in front of the
grandstand and requested the fans to
refrain from cheering and shouting be
cause it would disturb the sick woman
And they obeyed.
Chief Beavers Fears
The Speeding Law.
Chief J. L. Beavers, head of that
illustrious uniformed body sometimes
called “Atlanta’s finest." has bought
himself an automobile
Before buying he announced to his
friends that he was not suddenly be
coming a plutocrat. He still was a
plain, unvarnished citizen, but lived in
West End, which whs considerable dis
tance-such a distance, in fact, as
could not be achieved quickly by any -
thing less than a motor car. Hence the
purchase
As is generally the case, new posses
sion has brought new and troublous
anxieties to the chief. Ry tempera
ment and constitution ho is not a slow
one Whenever he starts anywhere he
likes to get there as quickly as possible.
Therefore, his first Impulse, when he
laid his hand to the helm of his new
machine, was to "open ’em up.” Before
said impulse had a chance to register
itself Into a definite resolve, however,
the chief remembered about the speed
laws, and desisted
He is now laboring under the con
stant fear that he will let 'er get above
the "sixteen-mile or thereabouts" limit
and that some zealous patrolman will
run him In
Verily, the sergeant was right when
he said: "A policeman's life is not a
happy one, especially when he wears
shoulder straps "

What Is Your Money Buying ?
A HUMAN INTEREST ADVERTISEMENT—BY EDITH M. SPENCER
IS YOUR PAY ENVELOPE PURCHASING PER
manent satisfaction and enjoyment?
Is it providing you with a comfortable home of
your own?
Is it giving you freedom from the dread of ap
proaching old age?
Or does your pay envelope merely cover the ne
cessities of life, securing a hand-to-mouth existence?
Does a large portion of it go into the landlord’s pocket
and obtain you a temporary shelter?
Yet your pay envelope does not differ greatly
from that of many who enjoy the benefits of fresh,
pure air, a substantial home and congenial neighbors.
Here’s the difference:
Their money pays for a home; your money pays
rent.
Watch the man who goes home to his own home.
He walks erectly. He takes a keen interest in life. He
is providing for the future and is proud of his purpose.
His little economies of today indicate independence for
tomorrow.
A rented house gives little pleasure to a family.
It is only a temporary abode. The constant dread of
moving day brings disorder and later instability of
character. At the best it is a house and never can be a
real home.
The saving for a home brings out the best quali
ties in a family. It gives a common interest and in
spires domestic loyalty.
In buying real estate a man of small means should
always buy where he can live. He should build his home
and get the worth of his investment. He can save rent
and probably pave the way to financial independence.
In providing a home for the family all points must
be carefully considered. Be intelligently suspicious.
Be wisely cautious.
Consider price. Do not place too great a burden
on yourself. Be sure that you can, without privation,
buy your site and build a home.
Consider location. Be sure it is healthful. Do
not maroon yourself from your place of business, nor
live too far from a car line.
Consider your children. Live where they can at
tend a good school. They will thrive best in pure air.
Consider your wife. Be sure that she will have
congenial friends in the near neighborhood. It will add
to her pleasure—and to yours.
Fortified Hills will solve your problem.
The price is made to fit the pay envelope of $25
to S4O or SSO a week.
The location is admirable. It is only twentv min
utes from the city hall, on the river car line. In twenty
minutes you are carried from the city heat and dust to
a healthful, cool, delightful spot.
The children can attend one of the finest schools
in Fulton county. The playgrounds will be the beau
tiful parks which divide the tracts into “places.”
A substantial, beautiful home may be built at
Fortified Hills by the man with moderate salary. Every
advantage is offered; every necessary restriction is
made to protect him.
Fortified Hillsis for homes, not houses. If you de
sire a home, go out to Fortified Hills and see the homes
built by men whose weekly salary is not a bit larger
than yours.
Captain J. T. Mills is at the office on the corner of
Mason and Turner Road and South Evelyn Place, and
will be glad to tell you all about Fortified Hills, the
terms and the plans for its improvement which Mr.
Grove has so carefully accomplished.
The river car, corner Broad and Marietta streets,
will take you to Fortified Hills in twenty minutes.
