II is planned to>install shower baths,
a swimming pool, a gymnasium for
light exercises, lockers, etc. and to
take the building on a lease.
Members Of the club are DESTROYS
Of obtaining a location close to Five

Of Charles Z. SCiple at the northwest
corner of Kimball and Cypress

Demand for Apartment Houses,

Atlanta continues to be a good mar

around the transfer of the Byron on

Byron Souders to I. p. Bradley, OF

nature Of a swap, Mr.. Bradley put
ting in a Coweta County farm, besides
assuming a loan of $4,000 placed
June 80 through the Penn Mutual Life
Insurance Company, and giving notes
for most OF the difference.
The property is "a by 200 feet and
adjoins a 100-foot parcel which Mr.
Souders owns at the southwest corner
of Linden and West Peachtre6 and
which was the old Bewick place

Eggs are High

Eggs reached a new high mark for
the season at Reno Tuesday when a
price of SO cents a dozen for select
ed eggs was quoted. This is for
absolutely fresh eggs and they must
be large ones. Smaller eggs are
quoted 48 cents dozen.
The Nevada Packing company ex-
poets to see but little fluctuating in
the egg market until after Thanks
giving. The price may go up or
down little. but it will probably
hover close to 60 cents a dozen for
the next three or four weeks. 1t is
possible the price may reach 65
cents, but if it does it will not last
for more than a day or two. The
highest market generally comes just
about Thanksgiving time. Prices
are higher now than usual for this
time of the year.

Doc. Benton S
Stable Burned

One of the most destructive fires
that has visited this city in long
time occurred this morning when the
livery stable Of Doc Benton was al
most totally destroyed. Besides the
building a considerable amount of
hay and straw was also consumed.
1t is not known how the fire start
ed but it is presumed from matches
or cigarettes as it started in the hay
loft in the rear of the main building.
This is heavy loss on Mr.. Benton
and it has only been few years since
he was burned out in like manner and
he had just about recovered from the
heavy los occasioned by the other
fire.
The fire boys did excellent work
and managed to keep the fire con-
fined to the one building although
there are several frail wooden struc-
lures adjoining. Considering that
the stable building was filled with
large quantity of highly combusti-
bic material their work was excellent.
Appeal.

LincolnH Highway
Is Marked

The Kansas City Journal takes as
text for an editorial the statement
of one of the big beef packers that
the country is facing a big beef
famine, and that the time will come
when steaks will bring a dollar
pound.
The Kansas City editor points out,
as have the Union and..other papers
in the west, that the breaking up of
great cattle ranges has brought "a
bout an entirely new condition in the
cattle industry. Heretofore the
small farmer could not grow cattle
because he was forced to compete
with the range stock. But now
conditions have been altered by the
elimination of the range. The
Journal says:
Now that that situatation has
come about, thousands of farmers
in the west will raise beef and thus
the shortage will automatically ad-
just itself. 1t is nonsense to talk a.
bout beef going to a dollar a pound.
Does any sane man imagine that the
farmers of America will refrain
from raising cattle at a profit of
hundred or half hundred dollars a
head?"
The Missouri man has found the
meat in the cocanut. 1t is, after all,
question of money. If the farmer
can make a good profit by growing
live stock he will grow live stock.
With ihe limitless resources of the
farms of the great western country
we shall not starve for while.
Neither shall we pay a dollar a
pound for steaks. -
The farmers with their alfalfa
fields can grow more head of stock
on ten acres than were grown on a
hundred in the days of the range.
When the American farmer makes
up his mind that the time has come
for him to make money by raising
cattle the specter of beef famine
will be banished.
