MAKE FIGHT ON WESTERN MEATS (Continued from Page One.) “The protest against high meat prices by means of abstaining from Its consumption will temporarily re duce the price, as demand and supply regulate legitimate values of all com modities which are not monopolized by the trusts. The enormous prices exacted by the trusts are pure extor tion, and their profits should be regu lated by the government." “Meat Is the primary and most ex pensive article of food in the house hold, and its consumption by a large BAI.R.S OFFICES: R ichmond, V*.

Sign the Coupon. Are you willing to join the national crusade being waged against the Beef Trust in the effort to force it to lower its prices? Are you willing to pa.y more for meat than is paid in other cities? Are you willing to give up eat ing meat for 30 days? Thousands in other cities have done it and the movement is attracting world wide at tention. The crusade is spreading like wild fire over the country. The trust has felt it, fear it, and already their prices have begun to decline. Do Augustans desire to pay more for meat than those in her sister cit ies? Do Augustans desire to contrib ute to the national movement? Do Augustans desire to help? Concerted action will give Augusta what other cities are getting. This, together with the near approach of Lent, will have the effect desired, as many give up eating meat in Lent. The Herald is anxious to know the prevailing opinion and a coupon is printed below on which they can state their opinion, their wishes, or views on the subject. Whether or not they are willing to give up eating meat for thirty days? The coupons are not for publication, but the totals for or against will be published in The Her ald each day, and any pertinent com ment will be gladly given space. If you are Interested fill out the coupon and mail It to the “Meat Edi tor of The Herald.” The local meat dealers are peculiar ly situated in the premises. Much of their beef is butchered in the city and they sell at as narrow a margin of profit as possible. The cost of feed and butchering cattle here is higher than It is in the west and much of the carcass is waste, while in the pack Ing houses, absolutely every part of the animal is utilized.
