FAIR PROMOTERS TO
GATHER IN ATLANTA
To Discuss Question of Carnival At
tractions-WiII Arrange Dates.

Atlanta, Feb. 2.-People interested
in Georgia county and state fairs will
assemble in Atlanta February 6 and
7 for the annual meeting of the Asso-
citation of Georgia Fairs. The call has
been issued by J. Luke Burdette of
Washington, Ca, president of the as
sociatiOn.
The visitors while here will be the
guests of the Southeastern Fair As
ISOLATION, and officers of the latter
organization are now ARRANGING the de
tails OF entertainment and program.
Every phase Of fair problems will be
discussed, and subjects have been as
signed by various speakers.
One question of particular interest
to be given attention by the fairmen
is that of street carnivals and whether
or not they shall be eliminated from
future fairs This matter has been
debated more or less by those inter
ested inGeorgia fairs, principally be-
cause Of the objection so often raised
in various communities where these
carnival companies are engaged, to the
lottery or gambling feature. While
they carry some few attractions that
may be worth while, the majority of
them are of lottery nature, and fair
directors hear many complains on this
question. 1t is expected that question
will be thoroughly threshed out at the
coming meeting.
Dates for the fall fairs will be de-
ciled at the convention, and it is hoped
through this meeting a closer coop
Grafton will be established among ag-
ricultural fairs in the state. Many
questions of Importance will be dis
cussed, among them "the true reation-
ship as it should exist between the
state and county fairs" chow to en-
courage business men to take an in
terest in the future of county fairs"
"the best methods of advertising coun-
ty fairs and other subjects.
Mayor Asa G. Gambler will deliver
the address of welcome on behalf of
Atlanta. President H. G. aHstings of
the Southeastern Fair will deliver the
address of welcome from that organi-
cation, adm the response will be made
by Presidetn Burdette of the Associa-
ton of Georgia Fairs

The best nourished German troops
are those in reserve just back OF the

however, their bread allowance has
been cut down one-third. The greater
part Of this reduction has occurred our

Wilson Assures
Grain Growers
Of Fair Prices
He Tells Farmers Market Will
Be High Enough to Stim-
ulate Production

Washington, June l.-Spring wheat
growers Of the Northwest were assured
by President Wilson in a personal
interview to-day that the government
in case Of need would protect farmers
in marketing their crops. and that
prices would be guaranteed high enough
to stimulate production.
The farmers representatives were
told that the government hoped that
permanent marketing reforms would
grow out of wartime measures.
II is not the present intention TO fix
minimum prices, the President said. as
the government believes production
prices will remain high without putting
a minimum price measure into effect.
The callers told the President that
farmers are anxious that grain market
reforms may come from the experience
gained By the food administration.
Sentiment among farmers is strong.
they said, for Federal operation of
grain exchanges and Federal ownership
and operation Of grain elevators and
other storage facilities used IN inter.
state trade.
