MARKET PROPOSED
TO FIGHT H. C.L.
Is. @. Hodges of Lions Club
Calls Joint Meeting
at G. of G.

Discussion of an open city market IN
Memphis as a means Of lowering the
cost of living will be undertaken at a
meeting of the representatives OF the
Chamber OF Commerce, Lions club,
Kiwanis club, City club and Rotary ciuD
at the Chamber Of Commerce at
o'clock Thursday afternoon.
The meeting was called by :, u
Hodges Of the Lions club, who believes
that II a medium Is established in Mem
phis which win largely eliminate the
middleman and bring the producer OF
foodstuffs and the consumer together,
the cost Of vegetables at least, may
be materially reduced.
Mr.. Hodges has been gathering data
from other cities, which demonstrates
the practicability and usefulness OF
municipal markets. one convincing
part of this data relates to St. Louis,
where the experiment OF free market
was tried in 1917. AT that time two
markets were established. These SO
thoroughly demonstrated their value TO
the citizens of St Louis that applica-
tion for the establishment Of II more
were made in 1918 and eight more have
been established, The success OF the
! city market in many other cities IL
also shown.
Under current conditions, there is vir-
tually no way In which the consumers
! and the producers of vegetables may
| get together and the consumer mus'
| pay the middleman's profits on all his
| vegetables. He has to do business al
most entirely with the hucRsters.
