CONSUMERS ROBBED
BY MEAT RETAILERS
DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE
SAYS EXCESSIVE PRICES ARE
NOT JUSTIFIED.

WASHINGTON, D. Federal
supervision of the packing, sale and
distribution of meat products was
declared by the department of agri-
culture to be the only solution for
the present situation in which meat
prices to the consumer are so high
that he is denying himself, and in
which prices for live stock, especial
ly beef and lambs, are so low that
the producer is losing money.
The department emphasized that
"Save Food" signs should now be
disregarded as to meat, especially
beef, and wheat products. Faced by
the largest wheat crop on record and
with many cattle raised in response
to the demand for meat production
for the army now maturing, the
American people, the department as
serted, must realize that no necessity
for conservation of such foods any
longer exists.
A survey of the meat price situa-
ton, the department said, reveals
that the excessive retail prices now
existing are not justified by whole
sale quotations. Prices to the pro-
ducers have declined since the war,
it was said, but prices paid by the
consumers have not materially les
sened. The only solution the depart
ment believes is more strict federal
supervision.

ENTERTAINMENT OF VETER-
ANS. REPEALED ORDINANCE.

Several matters were before the
city council at their meeting Tues
day night.
1t was decided to widen the north

rear of the stores that front Main

Davidson to take $500 for the neces-
sary land was accepted.
The sum of $40 was voted to pay
an initiation fee in the Municipal
League, which met in Atlanta today,
and Mayor McNulty was authorized
to attend as the representative of
Dawson. A motion was adopted to
pay the expenses of the trip from the
city treasury.
The secretary of the Chamber of
Commerce reported that there was
unpaid $50 of the expense incurred
in the entertainment of the Confed-
crate veterans, and the payment of
this amount from the public treas
ury was authorized by vote of the
council.
The finance committee was author
lied to borrow money to pay current
expenses of the city in an amount
not in excess of $4,000, which is the
limit fixed by the city charter.
An ordinance which was passed in
April last providing for the appoint
ment of a board Of city registrars
and for the purging of voters lists
was repealed by unanimous vote.

RECRUITING PARTY Is
COMING TO DAWSON
Unmarried Men Between 10 and SIS
Years of Age Are Offered Any
Branch of Army Service.

A recruiting party from Atlanta
is canvassing Georgia, and will be in
Dawson on July 10 to 18th to secure
recruits for the United States army.
The army is now offering unmar-
ried men between the ages of Is and
SIS years their selection of any branch
of the service, vocational training,
and where they want to serve. There
are openings at Camp Gordon, Pana-
ma, Philippine Islands, Alaska, Chi
ma, Hawaiian Islands, and on the
Mexican border, or anywhere in the
United States.
1t is the finest chance ever offer
ed to young men to learn a trade,
and at the same time visit different
countries of the world, receiving
good pay, board, lodging, medical
attention and recreation. We are
particularly interested in filling up
the camps in Georgia, because it
means business for Georgia to have
their camps filled up.
The term of enlistment is one year
for those who have had previous
service in the army, three for all
others.

CONTINUED WORK.
FOR GOOD ROADS

MINERAL WELLS, Texas, April
15.-Addressing the seventh annual
meeting of the United States Good
Roads association here today, Sena-
tor Banlhead, of Alabama, retiring
chairman of the senate poStoftice
committee, urged further improve
ment of American roads, extension of
the Bankhead national Highway from
Ell Paso, Texas. to the Pacific coast
so as to form a trans-contlnental
highway and the education of high
way engineers by the colleges in
order to provide capable construc-
ton men,
There can be no mistake as to the
sentiment for improved roads," said
Senator Bankhead. ut comes from
every class of our citizenship, the
business and professional men, as
well as the. farmers. They will make
no complaint that it costs money.
They are willing to assume the ex-
pense but they are going to demand
that it be wisely and economically
expended"
Senator Bankhead told the con-
strated conclusively the inadequacy
of railroad transportation, the use Of
the motor truck and automobile was
resorted to in order to meet the
transportation needs of the war and
showed the absolute necessity for
better roads and increased apprO-
priatiOnS.
Federal appropriations" he said
''if matched by the states and coun-
ties will make the amount available
for road building and maintenance
during the next three years aggre-
gate more than $575, 100000.
ct is important that this conven-
ton take steps to locate the So
called Bankhead national highway
from Ell Paso to San Diego, Cal
or to Los Angeles as the pathinders
may determine. This done, the route
from Washington to California will
! have been established.
The productivity of the south was
praised by Senator Bankhead who
declared Texas produces the larges1
per cent of real wealth of any
state in the union. The annual value
forests, mines and oil of that state
he said, total one billion dollars anG
/ represents 4.36 per cent of the tota'
production of the nation. Those OF
Alabama total $637,000,000, or 2 47
per. cent: Georgia, $500, 100000, OF
600, or "a per cent for Connecticut
S121,00 10000, or AT per cent for Mass.
achusetts. and $500, 100000 or 3 IL
per cent for New York.
New York and the New England
states" he said, "have contended thai
they pay large percentage of fed,
eral taxes in the way of income anC
excess profits, and since they have
improved their roads without fed
eral aid, therefore, they should moi
be taxed to build roads in other
/ states. They overlook the fact thai
their wealth has been drawn from
the. other states and if the pros.
perity and wealth of the other states
were increased their own wealth
would be nroportionately increased
