c. W. Armour Points to indications OF
Less Costly Vegetables and Grain,
Which Would Mean More lnexpen-
siVe Meat.

Kansas City, Mo, Nov. t2-rnat
food prices have reached their eli
max and now are on tn down grade
is a belief of meat packers in Kan
sas City and other packing centers.
Dealers in produce and other food
supplies say the same thing.
Charles w. Armour, head of the
Armour interests in Kansas City,
said today;
General food prices are working
towards a lower basis. The cereals
are getting down. People are going
to take advantage Of lower prices,
and that will have a tendency to
relieve the stringency in meat prices,
especially pork"
Mr. Armour said many of the grow
ers of fruit and potatoes last year
stored their crops rather than sell at
good prices early in the season, and
finally lost out in the spring. This
year, he said, they were profiting
by their experiences and are putting
their products to consumption at rea-
sontable profits not to take chances
on larger or smaller profits.
"All of which has a tendency to
lower prices of the things We eat,"
he added.
Just how soon the lower prices
were to come Mr.. Armour said he
did not know.
But We will welcome the time"
he said, for no dealer finds 1t a
pleasure to sell stuff at such high
prices as pork has been bringing sew
eral weeks. But when the packer has
to pay eight, nine, ten and even
eleven cents for live hogs, what has
he got to say about prlces?'
Mr. Armour said If the farmers
would put forth their best efforts to
raise good hogs the pork problem
in this country soon would be solved.
Suppose, be argued, that two pounds
extra weight Is put on every hog
sent to the markets, The aggregate
increase of weight would be enor-
nous. If the farmers were to work
harder for healthy hogs how much
less pork would be condemned by the

J. A. Henderson Invites City
Council Of This City to Go
Over His Line With Him.

Hon. ]. A. Henderson, president and
principal owner of the Ocilla South
ern railway, from Ocilla via Alapaha
to Florida, which is now operating
regular passenger service to Alapaha,
is in dead earnest about extending his
road to Fitzgerald, Rochelle and north
ward.
He has invited the mayor and city
council of Fitzgerald to come to Ocilla
and ride with him over his line and
discuss with him the matte rof coop
Grafton at this place.
The council will act on the invita-
ton at it's meeting next Monday
evening.
Mr. Henderson is a railroad builder
and has done enough of that kind Of
business in this immediate section to
command confidence in his undertak-
ings. He will find the people of Fitz-
gerald willing and anxious to cooper
ate with him.
About year ago Mr. Henderson
and his friends at this place mapped
out the route for the line, and since
tho agitation of the Jacksonville and
Atlanta line, activities have been re-
newed and there is every prnsn""t that
the road viii be put through ritz
gerald.
There may be some doubling
Thomases, but Fitzgerald has reached
the second railroad era in her his
tory, and 1910 will show results.

CLEAN CITY MAKES

CITY
Rake the Yards, Burn the
Trask. Keep Out the Flies
and Fitzgerald Will Be a
Veritable Health Resort.

This is the week for clenaing up
your premises. Saturday is the last
day. Not the last day you can clean
up, but the day on which you are sup
posed to have finished the job.
This week was set apart by the city
sanitary department and the ladies of
the various cubs for cleaning up the
city, particularly the allies and back
yards, Be sure that your premises are
cleaner than your neighbors by Satur-
day. You can find a pattern to go by
at the corner of Jessamine and Lee.
Only few years ago-most Of the
readers of the Enterprise can remem-
ber-yellow fever and cholera We're
dreaded in all the large cities, espe-
cially the seaport towns. Only few
years ago malignant fevers prevailed
the year round in the cities of Cuba
and Central America and practically
all the cities in the tropics, but all
American soldiers landed at Havana,
the greatest sanitary campaign known
to modern history was inaugurated.
The town was made clean, the breed
ing places for disease germs were
cleaned up and disinfected, with the re-
result that there has not been a case
of yellow fever in Havana in months,
even years. 1t is no longer consid-
cred hazardous to visit the Cuban
capital in midsummer. 1t was a
simple matter of sanitation.
And it is a simple matter of SAM
tation for Fitzgerald and every other
Georgia city. Clean cities are always
healthful, whether in Cuba or Geor-
gia.
Let's make Fitzgerald, Dear Reader,
the healthiest city. We have every
natural advantage. Let's profit by
what nature has done for US.
