magnificent brick public school
building that is second to none in

Why Is 1t -?

Why is it that people kick about
nigh prices, yet refuse to be helped
mot only in the United States, but
everywhere? Nuremberg, Germany,
having had experience in trying to
help out the financially distressed
householder raises this question:
How many are there who actually
care how high or how low the cost
of living may be? That city has a
Dopulation of 358,OOO, and in 1918
thew ate over 100000 pounds Of
meat. of which 100000 pounds were
horse flesh.
Home grown meat is getting
scarcer and scarcer in Germany and
higher and higher in price. Accord
ingly the authorities of Nuremberg
resolved to establish a municipal
slaughter house together with
string of municipal retail meat shops.
This was done in response to public
agitation, begun by the reform agen-
cies and taken up by the populace.
What was the result? There were
fifteen of these municipal meat stores
in operation in 1913 and they were
Supplied from the c'tys own killing
plant. 1t had been figured that the
plan would save the public at least
100000, which they could put in
the savings banks. Yet they sold in
1918 only 4.3 per cent of the meat
consumed, having about 1000 Gus
toners out of the 10000 families.
Their price was from two to four
cents a pound cheaper and their COM
petition held down the price OF pri-
vateIy owned shops from one to two
cents a pound. The direct saving to
the consumers was $4,000, yet the
municipal trade languishes because
the people are so Indifferent. Are
they worth helping?

One of the annual events which
gives the visitors an opportunity of
seeing Dawson and Terrell county at
their best is the Terrell County Fair,
and this year the premium lists are
so liberal and cover so wide a range
as to appeal both to male and female,
child and adult, in nearly every walk
of life. The departments are agricult-
ural, live stock, poultry, education,
domestic, floral, needlework, arts and
crafts, general fancy work and chill
dren's exhibits.
A unique fact and one that attests
the versatility, the public spirit and
civic pride of woman is that these
fairs are given by the Terrell County
Fair Association, which is Differed
and conducted by the most cultured,
prominent and progressive ladies OF
this section, Mrs. E. T. Jordan being
president and Mrs. L. Lamar secre-
tary.
The exhibits each year are source
Of justifiable pride to every citizen OF
the county, furnishing as they do oc-
ular demonstration of the almost in
finite possibilities of this matchless
soil and climate, when utilized by in
telligence, skill and industry. The
accomplishments of each year are
sought to be surpassed at the next,
and invariably are.
Free attractions of an interesting
character viii be presented daily, and
the hope is entertained that from
the individual exhibits choice col
lection can be sent as an exhibit by
Terrell county to the State Fair at
Macon, which will open the follow
ing week.
All honor to the splendid women
directing this laudable work, and
congratulations that Terrell offers so
inviting and fertile field for their
ambitions and activities.
