Although no larger than O mans

cd upon the local republican horizon
that may develop into a storm by the
time the county convention meets
here on next Monday. 1t will be a re-
currence of the old Sanders and anti.
Sanders factional feeling There are
still some devoted followers of the
former Unitod States senator in this
county, they may not be numerous,
and may not be able to make much
of showing next Monday. In fact
they may not make any fight at all.
AT the same time they are not all
together pleased with the treatment
that party leaders have been accord
ing Senator Sanders. They have not
forgotten that to him more than to
any other man in Tennessee is due
credit for the election of the only re-
publican governor the state has had
in forty years. Then they remember,
too, that Sanders was a pioneer among
the prohibitionsts, while his opponent
was always on the other side of the
liquor issue. Mayor Littleton is per-
sonally very popular with the rank
and file offthe republican party. He is
a gentleman of magnetism and charm
ing personal attractions, but he has
not been in harmony with the domi-
nant sentiment OF his party on the
liquor question. And the republican
party in Tennessee is dry party and
has been for many years The liquor
issue is again looming on the horizon
and there are therefore many repub-
licans who, while admiring Mr.. Lit
Teton, believe that it would be safer
to select Sanders as delegate to the
national convention,
There is no OPPOSITION among the
rank and file of the party to the local
leadership of Mr.. Hopkins. He has
been 'dry" from the first and was
an ardent supporter of Gov. Hooper
but there may be some who will balk
over shelving Sanders, the only re-
publican senator from Tennessee
since the days of reconstruction. AS
stated the Sanders men may not make
a fight and again they may.

That the farmers of the county have
confidence that present high prices Of

shown by the high prices that they
are willing to pay for Jersey cows.

the bidding from the first was spirit.
ed While there were indications that
mules had declined from the former

decrease in the demand for Jersey

81 More conservative farmers are of
tho opinion, however, that in the end
there must be decline in the price of
milk cows, believing that they are due
to follow hogs, which after they had
reached the sky suddenly tumbled to
more reasonable figures. 1t is the
opinion OF these men that already as

FOR A REDUCTION
OF MEAT PRICES
CAMPAIGN OF EDUCATION is UN-
DERTAkEN BY TIE U. S. DE-
PARTMENT OF JUSTICE.
PUBLIC IS LARGELY AT FAULT
Attempt viii Be Made TO Get the Con-
cumcr'a to Turn Away From the Ex-
renoiyc and Scarce Cuts to the
More Abundant Ones.

SPECIAL to The Herald.
WASHINGTON, March S.AThe de-
rartmeft of Justice announced today
t.tat it intends to begin within few
weeks an intensive educational cam
paign designed to lower the consum'
er's meat bill materially.
The plan to be used has been tested
by the department in several places
in order that its economic soundness
might be demonstrated. 1t is expect
ed that the efforts of the department
will have the cooperation of all re-
tai meat dealers throughout the coun.
try as we'll as the cooperation OF the
whole packing industry, including sav.
eral hundred different companies.
The department will attempt to
show the consumer the advantage OF
turning away from the high-priced
cuts of meat, where the demand is
now concentrated, to the less costly
cuts, which constitute the bulk Of the
meat animal and which, when correct
ly prepared, are of high nutrtive val
tie and great palatability.
This plan early received the sane
ton of numerous retailers--both indi-
vidual and association officials. Hun
dreds of wholesalers and packing COM
panies throughout the country have
now agreed to cooperate.
The economic theory upon which
the department , is proceeding has
been corroborated by other govern
mental agencies in close touch with
marketing conditions. After an inves-
fifat on Of these conditions and expe-
r.mcnts IN lin TED localities, the de-
partment of justice finds this situa-
ton existing with reference to the
purchase of meats at retail:
Those cuts of meat which are in
heaviest demand called choice
steaks and rib roasts-constitute less
than one-fourth of the steer. This
of demand on the por
tons which are available in the least
quantity has driven up the price OF
the very cuts which are most popular
Failure to take advantage or the
less costly cuts seems due to two fac :
tors: lack of knowledge concerning
the preparation of the inexpensive
pieces, and lack of information and in
difference on the part of the house
keeper as to the high nutritive value
and palatability of such portions.
AS consequence good meat at low
prices is dragging in the market, while
meat from the same animal which Is
no more nourishing but is four times
as costly is in great demand. For ex-
ample. recent wholesale quotations
from the western market show that
the best grade of short loins whence
come fine steaksl have been selling
as high as 60 cents pound,
while the best grade chlicks from the
IDENTICAL steer have been selling at
l5 cents The chuck portion was rails
ed on the same feed as the loin por-
ion. 1t would yield nutritious steaks,
TASTY roasts, pot roasts, stews and
,orned beef.

Ice club rooms are housing the offices
of the social center of the Legion. This
has worked out for the benefit of both
organizations, the Legion often taking
part In the community entertainments
and Community Service Offering its
assistance In membership campaigns
and publicity. Often the local or
ganizer Is asked to explain the com
munity program at banquets given by
the local post. The understanding ar
rived at on such occasions usually has
definite results.
One of the most recent services
which Community Service was glad TO
render was the arranging of program
for the presentation, through the Amer
lean Legion, of the certificates from the
French High Commission to the near
est of kin of those who lost their lives
In the world war. A complete program
for the service was drawn up by an
official at Community Service head
quarters and sent out to all Legion
posts as suggestive for Washingtons
birthday. 1t included appropriate num-
bers Of the French and American
music. a reading Of Markham's poem.
France In Battle-fiame," and a fitting
pageant scene. Many cities used the
service as written. others adapted 1t
to suit local conditions.
The future plans of the American
Legion and Community Service include
features which can be worked out by
both organizations together. to the mu-
tual benefit Of themselves and the COM
munity. In fact, the similarity Of pur-
poses will make more strongly effective
the efforts of each for a better citizen
