Editor Lee County Journal
Through your columns wish &c
address a few remarks to the voters
! Of Lee County, in reference to the
election this week
" First of all l wish to state that
gmy name was used as candidate
afor Clerk OF Court absolutely with
Z out my knowledge or consent; that
] knew absolutely nothing OF it
until the afternoon before the
&lection. And secondly that l gave
ID gned statement TO this effect,
adlling that / was not candidate,
toaNff. Wallace s FRIENDS the night
beIdfe.the election with the explicit
understanding that Mr. Wallace was
to have band bills advertising this
iact printed and distributed. For
reasons sufficient to hlmse'i, Mr'
Wallace decided not to do this
Ignorant of Mr.. Wallace decision
not to print the hand bills, there
fore went about my work in school
satisfied that nay statement was
well advertised owe the county until
neon. the first time during the day
that | visited the court house, !
found this was MOI the case. At
this time | made out and signed
another statement explaining my
position and Mr.. Wallace signed 1t
with me attesting to the fact that
I had given on: signed denial OF
being a candidate on the night
before the election. This was plac'
ed in the corridor of the court house
and considered was all that could
he done at that stage of the game.
70 my many friends who cast
tbeir ballots for me regardless OF
the fact that | was not the nomlneeI
and not even q candidate, | oi
course feel deeply grateful and an
annreciative Of their kindly spirit.
realizing at the same time that
the votes were cast for issue and
not for men.
To the person or persons who
got out the ticket without consult
ingame or giving me the least lnkl-
inc that such steps was contemp-
lated wish to say although | feel
confident that they did this with
the best Of intentions towards me
and without any idea OF inIurinG
my name and reputation among
right thinking people, that never
theLess I feel I have been done an
injustice that could very easily far
reaching in its effects.
wish to say in conclusion that
as I am serving the public as a
teacher in Leesburg High School L
should deem it an IMPROPERLY to
enter into a discussion OF the Cir
cumstances aud conditions which
caused those responsible for this
move to consider such a step nee
essary for the welfare Of our county
aud shat this article is in no wise
intended as such discussion but
simply to make my position clear
to the public.

BUY FORE oUARTER BEEF
AND SAVE MONEY

The fair price commission declares
that II consumers will buy more fore
quarter beef--whence come less ex.
pensiye cuts--they will save money
Here is something which the United
States department OF agriculture re.
/ Gently said on the subject:
Because Of its reputation as the
choicest cut, the people ask for por.
terhouse steak, whereas II they would
try a chuck steak, the chances are IL
would prove to be satisfactory and il
would cost much less. The reputation
Of porterhouse steak with the conse-
| quent large demand for il, coupled
with the fact that this cut forms only
very small per cent Of the carcass,
causes 1t to sell at a higher price
than any other cut.
IF people in general could realize
the value Of meat from the fOre-quar-
ter as compared with that from the
hind-quarter and would use more Of
Il prices Of meat as a whole would
be greatly reduced and would be
more stable.
AN abnormal demand for any
commodity forces up the price and
this condition applies TO porterhouse
steak or other choice cuts People
should use more fore-quarter meats
and reduce the prices Of living ANY
OF the fore-quarter meat is good for
making meat lOaves or Liberty steak.
while in some markets, steaks are
cut from the rib and sell as short
cut steaks"
The department Of agriculture
shows plainly how expensive il is to
discriminate against the fOrc-quarter
beef:
The average consumer seldom re-
Allies the difference IN the selling
price Of beef taken from the hind
quarters and that cut from the fore
quarters. and If he is aware of il he
very likely does not understand the
reason therefor The wholesale prices
on hind and fore-quarters Of beef
are based on diferential Of so much
over carcass price for headquarters
and so much under carcass price for
fore-quaters. Il Is seldom that fore
quarters ever sell Jas high or that
headquarters sell as low as carcass
prices. The average diferential is US
ually cents over on kinds and
cents under on fores. At present. the
difercntials are greater, both over
and under
"The dfFerential is changed accor
ding TO the market
This Is just the time Of year for
persons with porterh0use habits 90
get acquaisied with beef from the
fore-quarter Such meat Is used
largely for roasts and stews On this
account it requires more heat for
cooking. In cold weather, when IL IS
necessary to heat the house FOR per

on for using fore-quarter beef.
