= Are we in love with Government
operation of public utilities? Last
Friday night we sent an important
and urgent message to Derby, Conn.
Three days have elapsed, and we have
received no answer We are told
that under government supervision
service messages are no longer
sent, so we can not know whether
our message was ever delivered or
not. All we can do is to pay our mon
ey at thie end, and trust to luck that
when the people along the line get
around to it, our, important message
which under the old management
would have reached its destination in
two or three hours, will eventually
be delivered. The delay may be for
weeks and it may be forever. Oh, yes,
we are just. crazy about the way
things are being run-at time, too,
when the excuse of war no longer ex
lists.

What Other Editors Say
VALUE OF A COUNTY FAIR

Those sections of Georgia where county fairs are
regularly held have progressed in many ways since
such institutions established The county fair not
only brings the farming and city people together but
helps them to get better acquainted and makes for
better feeling generally among the citizens of a coun-
ty The county fair adverses the products of the
y The county fair advertses the products of the
y to the world and opens up markets for the
every year and the fame of Clarke county should
profit materially thereby
The editor of the Grady County Progress has firm
convictions the usefulness of the county fair and
tells them in the following article:
The impression at time quite prevalent that
the main purpose in any community of a fair was to
draw the crowds in order stimulate local trade This
the rock which good many enterprises went to
wreck that otherwise might have become permanent in
stitutions in the community
The purpose of any agricultural fair and especially
of county fair should be considered in the light
of immediate stimulus to retail trade but rather
development factor for the community out of which
will grow better business along all lines When viewed
in this way there is nothing scarcely that becomes
greater factor in the development of the farming inter
ests of county than good fair projected along right
lines If sufficient emphasis is placed on good exhibits
of local nature it may also be taken as granted that
no worry need be had as to attendance whether ye1y
much Of carnival nature is appended or not In fact
of the very best fairs of today have largely aban
doned all these superuous shows and hold the tair
what really purports to be- an exhibition of the pro-
ducts of the community which it represents.
Some time ago we said something about chain Of
fairs for these south Georgia counties The suggestion
received favorable comment from other counties
number of our neghborng counties already arrang
ing for the holding of fairs and it up to Ora
dy to join the procession With our variety of products
make showing as good as the best it is simply
matter of doing it.-Athens Herald.

NEW YORK THE MEDICAL CENTER OF THE
WORLD

An effort is to be made to have New York replace
Berlin and Vienna the medical center of the world
Dr. Royal s. Copeland Health Commissioner of the City
of New York, is to head an organization which will
start nationwide campaign to raise $5O,0OO,OOO The
association to be called the New York Association for
the Advancement of Medical Education and Medical
Science short statement issued by the physicians
sponsibe for the plan reads as follows:
For years it has been evident that medical educa-
ton, both undergraduate and graduate in New York
has not adequately represented the possibilities of this
great city One of the for this state of affairs
has been the lack of financial support for our medical
institutions. As result men seeking medical education
have been obliged to seek medical centers in Europe
where individual and special courses could be Sc
cured"
The plan seems to be most excellent one and well
worthy of the support of the American people Before
the war, were almost completely under the domina-
ton of Germany in this direction Our colleges of med
cine are rapidly being improved and may well become
the best in the world If the money is made available
for buildings and equipment America can supply the
necessary talent and in the future may look for
ward to students throughout the world coming Amer
lea instead Of going to Germany to round out their
medical education.

PRICE FIXING AS A REMEDY FOR FOOD
PROFITEERING

The Federal Trade Commission has declared in a
report just made to the president that the group of
foremost American meat packers known the big
Five" controls only the meat situation in this
try but also has extensive holdings in South America
and has trade associations Europe The report
also states that these packers branching widely
into other food lines and seem likely to dominate the
entire food situation.
That this situation existed has long been generally
understood by food dealers and many others. How
ever the country has been deeply engrossed in the
immediate problems of the that the danger nvolv-
ed by this and rapidly growing food octopus
have been considered seriously by the public
would otherwise have been the case,
The time has now arrived, however, when the facts
with reference to INSCRIPTIONS profiteers and especial
y such big and gravely dangerous Ones must be
fully studied and some effective remedy quickly found
and applied The old and ineffective scheme of under
taking the evil features of big business by
destroying such institutions entirely, (as provided
by the Sherman antitrust law have been tried and
found wanting There is remedy which is readily and
quickly available and which, believe, would be alb
solutey effective Moreover it is which has already
been tried and found effective. Many people evnce
great tmidty when any such plan suggested, but
have witnessed the application of the maximum price
Plan it is enforced upon railroads, Ines
gas and electric companies and other similar enterprises
and there to be logical why there should
be any hesitancy about fixing maximum prices for food
and other neceares In order to prevent such price
fixing from having unfortunate effect upon wages
might else be necessary fix minimum rates of wages
however, this idea has long been carried successfully
b. labor organizations and therefore is no longer a
experiment. ~z
The obvious remedy, then for this huge food profit
eering evil by big, INSCRIPTIONS corporations, as well
as by smaller concerns engaged in the same kind
of vicious practices, is the legal limitation by
of official commissions Of profits through the fixing
may;aum prices to be charged and minimum wages ara
other be paid We believe that this plan and this
alone, of all of which have any knowledge, be
lied upon to correct existing evils in this direction
