So far there has been no concerted

however, If there was not such

done in Brunswick. All that is re-
quired, apparently, is for some one to
sound the call.
"A movement to cease eating meat
for a short period would probably find
ready response in Brunswick" said
a gentleman yesterday. There is no
doubt that meat is as high In Bruins
wick as it is everywhere and it is not
likely to get any cheaper. The only
beef we will get here for the next
four or five months will be from win

In visiting the markets almost ev-

their butchers at the high prices of
steaks, chops and roasts. OF course,
it is not the fault of the local butcher
and if there should start an anti meat
campaign it would result in many

only way we can reach the men in

COMPANIES TO
GET RECRUITS
NO SOLDIER WILL BE TAKEN TO
CAMP NOT ENLISTED six
MONTHS PREVIOUSLY

The coming encampment of the Ma
donal Guard of Georgia infantry hav-
ing been scheduled to take place at
Chickamaugua park about July 10 for
ten days, 1t is up TO the companies AMI
commanding officers to increase the
enlistments of their organizations and
secure recruits six months in advance.
If July 10 is awarded the Georgia
troops, the time for recruiting for this
camp has already expired.
The regulations require that the
government win pay the expenses of
any soldier at this camp who has
been enlisted at least six months pre-
yiously. The coming camp will take
place during the middle of the month,
- that those Of the citizen soldiery
engaged In office work will be enabled
attend without interfering with
aeir business, and the out of-toWn or
anizations may attend without inter
ring with the gathering of fruit.
Adjutant General Scott also an
ounces that no organization will be
/; lowed to attend camp at Chicamau-
with less than thirty men, this
/ nimum having been established by
t federal government There will
be no composite companies, so the
company that cannot take at least
thirty men will stay at home. The
ou,looll for the coming camp is very
bright as the national guard Of this
state is in better condition, the atten-

before.
Recruiting has already begun with
