6 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.” WAR DEPARTMENT OFFERS REWARD FOR CORDELE MAN KNOXVILLE, TENN..

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. TURMAN, BLACK & CALHOUN, Agents Successors to S. B. Turman & Co. and Chas. H.
