STER SERVICE AT
THE CITY CHURCHES
Pine Weather Large Attendance
Preaching and Song Services.
Special Eastet services were held
at the various churches ,in Union
City last Sunday mor,ning. A very
elaborate program was rendered at
the Cumberland Presbyterian Church
an outline of which appeared in the
paper last week. The singers, organ
nUiafa ftf that
. 1(70 . (IUU ! I- -
church, as usual, devoted a great
deal of attention to the music, which
waB rendered with the finest effects.
The pastor addresed himself to the
text Luks 24:34, "Our Risen Lord.
1- At the Baptist 3hurch the congre
gatiXn, a very largo one, was edified
by the new pastor, Dr. Marlin, who
has been very kindly welcomed to
Union City .-, : '," .;'
Revival service, with a morning
Easter service in sermon and song,
were conducted at the First Christian
Church. ' , r '
At other places' of worship the
Easter season ) was observed.
The morning service at the Meth
odist Church was given principal
ly to the pastor's discourse. On Sun
day evening singers from the various
churches of the city were heard in
a special Easter cantata, "Cross and
Crown." -; . . .' .
We are reproducing the program,
which was in printed form. An ex
ceptionally large audience was pres
ent, filling the main auditorium and
a large portion of the annex. , Mrs.
Geo. Stone directed with Miss Beulah
Allen at the organ. The singers were
suitably cast and the entire arrange
ment gave the finest results.! The
entire score was rendered without
any apparent difficulty and with fine
interpretation. The audience was
deeply Interested and impressed with
the recital. -
' Apropos of this service The Com
mercial would like to suggest that it
was very inspiring and that' we
miglit on another Easter get a larger
number .of voices; so that the princi
pals might be aided with a large
chorus of voices, say perhaps fifty in
number. The Methodist Church' is a
large one and adapted to this kind of
service. The evening -Easter song
services might be continued at that
place with a temporary platform ex
tension xur -mw uueuiur auu cuuic
body of singers. , ; '
, The effort and trouble mi tax
some of the musicians"' V the
church-going people ai., who
'do not attend church regu . would
certainly enjoy an oocasinu 'of this
character. Large ciyp3 have these
programs every Enter and we might
with a little moro effort have some
thing on the same order. Anyway
with the success of the cantata we
are lecto believe that greater things
are." (e acomplished by th? singers

The Lions Club had a lively meet
ing last Tuesday and welcomed a
number of distinguished visitors.'
Senator K, D. McKellar, who was
passing thru the city, was a gnost and
talked in a, very interesting vcy of
the great war debt,, amounting to
twenty-three " billions of , dollars,
eleven - billion of which la due
from foreign countries. He spoke
of the s insidious propaganda going
over the country to cancel tnese
debts, and how wo were taxed be-
cjiuse of these countries not meeting
the Interest on tho loans that we
made them. '
He also said that the Muscle Shoals
project would finally, in, his opinion,
be turned over to Mr. Ford. ?,".
Mr. Shade Wilson, the popular
sales manager, outlined somo plans
to make Union City better, and spoke
cf the enthusiasm that apparent pros
perity brings and urged that an ef
fort be made to place our local news
papers in every heme in the county,
This, he thinks, is one of the best
things that cancomo to help the
merchants.
Another visitor, Dr. J. B. Adker
son, made a very delightful club talk

THIRD SATURDAY RIGGER
AND BETTER ALL THE
Growing Interest in Union City
Trade Days Events.
Another very large crowd came to
Union City last Saturday to take ad
vantage of the inducements offered
by merchants and others on this par
ticular occasion. Really we believe
that the institution of these trade
days has been td stimulate confidence
and to encourage our people in the
hope and realization of better times.
In fact it looks like better times al
ready. It does so, indeed, if the pres
ent movements of the people are to
be compared with those of a few
months back.
Last Saturday people from various
portions of the eounty were here,
comprising a total of thousands in
number and everyone seemed to be
in fine humor and ready to produce
a little cash where that cash could be
utilized profitably.
Picture sketches were made 'of the
street crowds by Photographer Sabin
and will soon be ready for reproduc
tion . in the papers. The Nashville
Tennessean and The Commercial' Ap
peal, always looking ahead, respond
ed willingly with publicity regard
ing one of the former trado days in
Union City, with accompanying half
tone picture. ,
All of these progressive movements
are directed by the able management
of Mr. R. R. Rooe, who has so far
been highly successful in the work.
On next Saturday, April 22, the
most important event of tho entire
series- of ti'ade dates will take place.
On that occasion a Ford tourUg car
will be given,away, and this has been
made possible by the business men
of Union City. Very likely tho largest
crowd of the season will be here for
that event. Everyone will be .cor
dially welcome. omo and be with
us.
Special Service. ;
There will be a special service at
the Methodist Church next Sunday
morning, April 23, for the children
and young people. While it is espe
cially .for them, no one is excluded,
and we feel that it 'will be Just as
good for one as another. The sermon
will be one for the eye more than
for the ear. Every point will be dis
played on the platform. We hope all
the young people will come to Sun
day school prepared to stay through
the service. We will be glad to have
anyone and everyone with us that
duty does not call, elsewhere. We
give this, feeling that n sometimes
through the eye is a better way to
reach the child than ' through the
ear. ' An invitation ia extended to
the public.
All Present. 1
Listen! All present! One hundred
percont attendance! Doesn't it sound
good? Every AGOG A was in his place
last Sunday in the Agoga Class of the
Baptist Sunday School, and we had
others present, too. But we want
more new members and we still ex
tend the invitation to all young men
to Join the AGOGA Class. Get in line
with a wide- awake Sunday School
class. The Agogas will cordially
welcome YOU. .

Proposition to Dynamite Has a Back
V fire Movement.
Acting upon alleged grounds that
the spillway at Reelf oot Lake is forc
ing backwaters on Kentucky and
Tennessee farms at the upper end of
the lake, Mayor Sway ne, of Hickman,
Capt." Claude Walker and others, a
large party altogether, met Judge
Bratton, County Road Supervisor
Buchanan, State Engineer McEwen
and the Civil Engineer of the Jeff
Davi3 Highway, from this city, to
hold a conference relative to a prop
osition to dynamite the levee and re
lieve these Kentucky and Tennessee
farmers. ;
The committee, however, found the
conditions there to be entirely differ
ent from what -they had expected.
The water in the lake is five feet be
low the top of the levee; on the oth
er side of the levee, where tho water
is backed from the Mississippi River,
which is west of the spillway, the
water is within three feet "of the top
of the levee, or two feet higher than
it is on the lake side. Therefore in
dynamiting the levee, the reverse
effect would be to flll the lake with
river water and make the overflow
on the farms in Kentucky and Ten
nessee much greater than it Is. Judge
Bratton told tho Hickman people to
try dynamiting and, see what the re
sult would be. ' They saw the point
and agreed that it would be disastrous
to dynamite. ' So far a3 this confer
ence is concerned there was no effort
to dynamite the levee.
Tho lake levee is therefore giving
protection to'the Kentucky and Ten
nessee farms instead of damaging
them with1 backwater. It is protecting
ing them from the backwaters of the
river.
LAMPS AND LIGHTS.
A candle gives a light. This light
is a great help in the time of total
darkness. The amount of light de
pends upon the candle-power of the
lamp. If one wishes to increase his
light, a lamp of larger candle-power
must be used. The AGOGA Class of
the Baptist Sunday School is, like
the candle, shedding its- light in the
Baptist Church and in Union City,
The class can be made a great LAMP
for throwing out the light of Chris
tian faith and thereby become one
of the shining lights of the city. But
it must have the help of all men over
twenty years old who are not in other
Sunday schools. Won't yoti Join the
class? Wo need your help. Visit the
AGOGA CLASS next Sunday and you
will be greatly repaid. THE AGOGAS
WILL WELCOME YOU GLADLY.
"Hiawatha," an Operetta.
The commencement exercises of
theUnion'City Public Schools (white)
began here last Friday night with
the presentation of "Hiawatha," an
operetta, by the Fourth and Fifth
grades yof Central School. The play
was given before c, crowded house in
the auditorium of the Senior High
School. The play was good and ev
eryone took his part well. All who
were not present missed something
which those who raw it will not for
get. A nominal sum of fifteen cents
was charged and this money will be
used toward defraying some of the
expenses incurred in Improving the
swimming pool. This is a badly need
ed improvement and we hope it can
soon be made.
The operetta, "On ' Midsummer's
Day," will be given by the First, Sec
ond, Third and Fourth Grades of
Central School in the High School
auditorium Friday night, April 21.
: McAdoo in 1924.
Washington, April 16. Former
President Wilson's letter repudiating
the message given to the , New York
democratic dinner ; by Joseph P.
Tumulty and the consequent break
between Mr. Wilson and his long
time secretary is regarded here by
some Democratic leaders as certain
indication that William G. McAdoo
is planning to become a candidate for
the Democratic Presidential nomina
tion in 1924.
Mr. Wilson's repudiation' of the
message to the Jefferson Day banquet
was actuated, in the opinion of lead
ing Democrats, not because of the
wording of the message delivered by
Mr. Tumulty as coming from Wil
son, but because of the impression
created that it was an indorsement
for the renomination of James M.
Cox.
Mr. Wilson, his friends say, is not
for Cox for another nomination and
does lean favorably toward the nom
ination of his son-in-law and former
Secretary of the Treasury who was
runner up to Cox at San Francisco
In 1920. Party leaders insist that
McAdoo is quietly maneuvering for
the nomination.

PASTURES ESSENTIAL
One essential to successful hog
raising is pasturage, say specialists
of the Division of 'Extension, Uni
versity of Tennessee. Alfalfa, red
clover, crimson clover, rape, rye and
oats are most valuable.' Japan clo
ver, soy beans or cowpeas may be pre
pared for summer grazing.
Some feeds develop the bone in
growing pigs, others develop muscle
and others make them fat. A mix
ture of different feed products that
will do all of these things in the de
sired proportion is called a "balanced
ration." Young growing stock, or
brood sows with suckling pigs, need
a large amount of bone and muscle
building, material, while meat hogs
weighing more than 75 pounds need
a fattening ration.
To mix 100 pounds of a balanced
ration for a sow and her litter, use
either of the following:
Ration 1: Corn,, 45 pounds; shorts,
35 pounds; oats, 20 pounds.
Ration 2: Barley, 25 pounds; pea
nut meal, 15 pounds.
Ration 3: Corn, 60 pounds; barley,
30 pounds; tankage, 10 pounds.
Ration 4: Corn 60 pounds; shorts,
30 pounds; tankage, 10 pounds.
One third of a feed of corn and
two thirds of a feed of buttermilk or
skimmilk will make a balanced
ration. The above rations are also
suitable for young growing animals
that will be used for breeding pur
poses. Hogs that are not on pasture
should be fed all they will clean up
well 'twice a day. The better the
pasture, the less will be necessary.
Hogs need plenty of clean water at
all times.
The rations suggested above will
be suitable 'for pork pigs until they
weigh 70 or 80 pounds. Fattening
pigs may then be fed almost a -full
ration of corn with a daily amount
of either one of the following: to
pound tankage; to 1 pound of
soy beans; 1 to 1 pounds cowpeas;
or 3 to 4 quarts of skimmilk or but
termilk. -
