The campaign of the Department

said a statement issued by Howard
T.. Figg. assistant Attorney Cen
eral in charge of the drive, the
producer will have a market among
housewives for all his meat. For
sometime meat consumers have CEN

sive but just as nutritious and
savory leg. SHOULDER. belly and
rump cuts. which, constitute three
quarters of the meat animal.
"Of course when three-fourths OF
the demand is for one-fourth of the
meat produced, with indifference
toward three-quarters of the meat
on the market, the price of the fav-
orcd one-fourth goes ballooning.
No matter what Americas pal
ates and pocketbooks demand, ma
ture will continue to turn out meat
animals with legs and shoulders
and these makings Of the cheaper
cuts must be sold for whatever

FOUR FIRES HERE
SUNDAY MORNING
Department Has A Busy Day-TwO
Negro Houses Burn In Gritney,
But Contents Were Saved.

The fire department was busy thro-
ed to four alarms. The first call came
at $50 o'clock yesterday morning
from Depot street, just back of the
Juchheim Wagon Works. The shing-
les on the roof of negro house had
caught on fire. The blaze was quick
ly put out and the damage will not
exceed few dollars.
The residence occupied by Mr.. and
street caught on fire from a defective
flue. The department extinguished
the blaze and the damage was slight.
Sparks from the flue, ignited the
els, 500 South Main street. The roof
was on fire in several places when
the fire department reached the scene.
The interior of the house was not dam
aged
At II o'clock the department was
called to Avenue G and McLaurin
streets The department encountered
mud and impossible streets in many
places and were greatly delayed in
reaching the scene of the fire. Upon
the arrival of the firemen, the blaze
had gained too much headway to save
the two houses which were occupied
by negroes.
The two houses are owned by Lily
Barber, negress. She occupied one and
Pat Harman, colored, lived in the 9th
er. The two houses were valued at
about $1,000. All of the contents of
both dwellings, were saved.

STRIKING SCENERY FOR BIZ
STORY IN THE MIRACLE
MAN.
Crooks in Clover in Dramatic George
LOane Tucker Production.

From the sordid slums of New
Yorks Chinatown to the grandeur OF
high mountains and the majesty of
the ocean-that is the range of the
setting in "The Miracle Man." a big
new Paramount -Artcroft picture, pro-
duced by George Loane Tucker, which
is coming to the Greenwood Theatre
Thursday and Friday of this week
The same expansiveness OF vision IS
reflected in the absorbing story, writ
ten by Frank l.. Packard, later dra-
matized by George M. Cohen, and pro-
duced with striking success on Broad
way. The central figure is white
haired patriach, who lives in the hills
near the sea and who has reputed
power to heal the sick and crippled.
Tom Burke and his band in their
haunt in the New York underworld
read of his miracles and conceive the
idea of capitalizing them for their own
gain. So they go to theh town where
the oil oman lives and frame up a
miracle for him. To their surprise
they discover that he really possesses
the healing pawers accredited to him.
Gradually under the beneficent in
fluence of their new environment
there is worked a transformation IN
the hearts of the crooks that makes
Rose, the gangster's beautiful decoy,
the charming girl she is at heart, that
evolves a farm hand out of dope
fiend, and finally, bring out the bet
ter nature of even the hardened, sop
histicated Tom Burke himself. In the
hands of such capable artists as Tho
mas Meighan, Elinor Fair, Joseph D.
Bowling, Betty Compson, and others
of similar merit, this powerful story
becomes vital living thing and one
of the greatest dramatic spectacles
the screen has yet revealed.

Rev. Bagby is an original humorist,

BOTH CANADA
AND ARGENTINA
May Soon Prove Serious Competitors
OF The United States In The
Dairy Industry.
Associated Press

WASHINGTON, March S-Canada
and Argentina may soon prove SER
ious competitors of the United States
in the dairy industry, Government Of
ficials believe. The industry in both
countries is in its infancy yet Can
cheese and II per cent as much butter
as the United States, while Argentina
is producing 18 per cent as much
cheese and seven per cent as much
butter. Canada's butter exports were
Al per cent as large as those of the
United States while her cheese exp
orts greatly exceeded exports from
the United States. Argentina's but
ter exports were double those of the
United States and her cheese exports
euualled 32 per cent of those of the
United States.
1t is generally believed, government
officials say, that Argentina and Can
ada are capable of extensive develop
ment of their industries and it is prob
able, therefore, that the United States
may experience in the future parti-
cularly energetic competition. Ar
gentina, q days distant from New
York, they say, may not be thou
ght of seriously at this time as di-
rect competitor in the domestic mar
ket, but indirectly Argentina butter
may supplant Canadian butter in the
English market, in which case Cana
dian butter would find logical out
let in the United States.
Canada is in better position today
in the worlds markets with her butter
and cheese than is the United States
officials declare Moreover, Canada s
policy with her returned soldiers and
immigrants toward land development
is bringing results which eventually
will mean larger production.
In the United States available lands
are scarce and all lands generally ex-
pensive. 1t is reasonable to believe,
government scientists say, that in the
future production will not increase in
proportion to the population, as the
greater part of the really productive
land is now utilized. Resumption aof
the importation Of European butter is
again giving real competition to our
products.
