SHIMMIE DANCE
TO Be DONE BY
ELEPHANTSHERE

Sparks circus exhibited in a num-
ber of cities in Mississippi and Ala
bama before entering Georgia on their
33rd annual tour. After the per-
formances at Meridian, Miss, on sept.
II, the Evening Star published the
following criticism:
"The show was up-to-the-minUtC.
The band played throughout the per
formances only the latest popular
song hits, and the music was much
above the average for circuses. The
shimmie, too, wa truthfully execut-
ed by elephants and horses-and
clowns.
"The performers were as good as
they get to be, and single kick on
the quality of entertainment offered
has yet to be heard. The trained seal
act was especially good, these ami
mails performing feats out of the or
dinary repertoire. One animal was
especially keen, saying mamma"
and 81 am ready and other simple
phrases and words intelliglbly.
Here's to the trainer
"A Jap walked up flight of stairs
on his head, performance not wit
messed in Meridian before, and an
extraordinary one, too. Another Jap
walked up an inclining rope to the
top of the tent and slid easily down,
doing the same trick backwards.
Score again for Sparks.
"The clown aggregation, composed
of at least a dozen, gave brand
new line of tricks, ana even the
grown-ups, who came to bring the
children" chuckled dozen times or
more.
That's not half of the attractions
presented but the others are of
equally good merit, and the person
who doesn't attend Sparks Circus
is missing something really good
and a press agent didn't write this
story; this is criticism"

EVERYBODY AIDED
But THE PRODUCER
OFFICER OF NATIONAL LIVE
STOCK ASSOCIATION MAKES
CHARGES AGAINST HOOVER.

WASHINGTON, D. C.-Edward C.
Lasater, member of the executive
committee of the National Live Stock
Association, renewed his attack on
the food administration before the
house Interstate commerce commit
tee today.
A great injustice was done the
live stock producers by the food adj
ministration in refusing to allow
them a margin of profit, Mr.. Lasater
said.
The packers were allowed to
make a good profit on everything
they handled" he said, and this
profit was assured them. They did
not stand to lose a cent, but when
the producers asked for the same
privilege Mr.. Hoover said it could not
be done and that the producers should
be willing to make some sacrifices to
aid the country to win the war"
Credits of live stock producers
were destroyed as a result of the
food administration refusal to as
sure them fair profit, the witness
/ declared, since the business became
so hazardous that the banker refused
to make loans except at exorbitant
rates The packers on the other hand,
he said, could pay any rate of inter
est because they could add it to their
cost and still make the same profit.
Zone of the boasts of the depart
ment is that it never attempted to
fix the prices of live stock, but this
is absolutely untrue he said. 1.-THE
price fixing was done indirectly, but
there was such a close understanding
/ between the packers and the depart
ment that prices could be fixed with
out its becoming known. The pack
ers paid just a certain sum agreed
upon previously and no consideration
was taken of the producers cost. The
department seemingly had it arranged
so that all industries would be pro-
tected from losses except the pro
/ ducers. The price for cotton seed
meal cake, which the packers them
selves produced, was increased great
/ ly. We were forced to buy it at the
increased cost"

To Protect American Potash.

WASHINGTON. D. C.-Measures to
protect the American potash industry
developed during the war, especially
from German competition, were con-
sidered today by the Senate mines
committee. There have been demands
in the Senate recently for legislative
protection.
A tentative bill was submitted by
Chairman Henderson opposing feder-
al licensing Of potash imports. For
five years-a period believed long
enough for the American potash in
terests to establish themselves against
foreign competition-the bill would
give the bureau of mines authority to
restrict potash importations.

DIPPED LIKE SHEEP,

DISEASE DISAPPEARS.

BRAWLEY, Cal.-"The Sheep
Dipped Town" Such is the title by
which this small Imperial Valley city
of southern California has recently
come to be referred to by its neigh
bors. And even taken literally the
title virtually states a truth. More
over, its citizens are quite proud of
it, for, because it is sheep-dipped, it
IS claimed it is practically the only
city of its size, or larger, in the
country that has no cases of infiu-

comes the coolies on sheep, no one
seems to know, but, be that as it
may, ask Brawleyite why Brawley
has become a fu-free haven and
you'll get the answer: "Sheep-dip
did it."
Here is the story: Brawley several
months ago had its cases of influenza

worse than some The city council
promptly ordered the closing of the
churches, schools, theaters and other
gatherings Of a public nature. This

Then followed an order that the

for a few days; but the wearers,
disliking the idea Of appearing in pub
lie, especially at social functions, like
muzzled dogs, they assembled en-
masse at the city hail. where they
discussed the matter with the mayor
and council from the various view
points, with the result that the masks
with whatever germs they may have
trapped, were discarded and burned

Then, finally, the city engineer

first, and assumed the part of the

he surmised that the city was a little
too big to immerse intact in a sheep
dip cat he believed that his sheep

His first act was to wash thu

HIGH PRICES OF
! ia
FOOD CONTINUES
HAS INCREASED SEvENTY-FIVE
PER CENT DURING THE PAST
EIGHT YEARS.

There is no indication that food
prices will fail, but rather, that they
will continue to increase.
High prices yield the grocer no
more profit than moderate prices, the
grocers claim. and it takes much
larger amount of capital to run a
business. The average advance in
staple food commodities has been
about Is per cent in the past eight
years The country's stocks of food
are not over large, and there is 8
tremendous demand for food in Eu
rope
To protect the public against un
reasonable Sprofits and profiteerin%,
the Federal Food Administration for
Georgia has recently enlarged it's staff
OF fair price inspectors, Major D. F.
McClatchey, executive secretary to
DR.. A. M. SOule, the federal food ad-
ministrator for Georgia. urges the
people to read the fair prize lists pub
lished periodically by the Food Ad
ministration, and to make complaint
where unreasonable profits are charg-
ed. BY aiding the percentage desig-
mated by the Food Administration to
the wholesale price of food commodi-
ties, the people can determine ap-
proximately what prices they ought
tc pay.
Complaint has been made that
many articles are higher ON the 10
cal market than elsewhere but the
retailers say it is not their fault as
they only add fair margin of profit
