Fine Cattle Are
Sold to Farmers
FromXawrence
.Maury couaty continues to hold her
place in the sun as the home of fine
horses and pure bred cattle. Yester
day a large party of "live wire" farm
ers of Lawrence county, headed by
Prof. G. C. Wright, agricultural agent
of the county, came to Maury to make
purchases of fine dairy cattle. They
did not come in vain, purchasing from
George Campbell and Sam Warren
two bulls for $400, two heifers out of
registered cows for G00, two grade
Jerseys for $200 and one registered
Jersey heifer for $250. The party was
accompanied to Spring Hill, where the
purchases were made, by Prof. A E.
McLean; agricultural agent of Mau
ry county. The party of visitors was
very much impressed with the spleri
did progress.-.that-is, .being .made , by
the beef and dairy interests of Maury
county, and are planning to further
these interests in Lawrence county.
It is believed that within another
year there will be a a considerable
surplus of milk and cream in Law?
rence county as the result of the cam
paign, and an effort will be made to
work in conjunction with the local en
terprise, the Dimple Ice Cream &
Creamery Company. , . ,. ; . .
NOT SICK
ANOJIOT WELL
In Tha Peculiar Situation Described,
ZIRON Iron Ionic Is Found Helpful.
It often happens that the organs of yout
body do not function properly, for some
reason or other. There is nothing really
wrong, and you are not sick. But cer
tainly you are not well, cither.
If you are in such a condition, read
what Mr. Wm. M. Bass. Rt. l.Crossville,
Ala., did. and try Ziron Iron Tonic, as
he did. Mr. Bass says:
I am nearly always pretty well anc
strong and do not need much medicine
excepting for headaches. But, recently,
when I had not been feeling very well
for a while, I knew 1 needed some sort
of medicine to make me all right.
I took Ziron and it made me strong and
well again."
Ziron ruts iron into the blood, and, by
doing this, may prevent a serious attack
of illness, which you are liable to "catch"
at any time if your system is weakenee
or your condition below par.
Ziron lias well proven its value as a
tonic. Try it when you feel the least bil
out of sorts, not quite as good as usual,
tired and weary.
Your druggist sells Ziron on a money
back guarantee. ZN to

THREE CHANCELLORS
: PRESIDE THIS WEEK
SEVERAL CASES ARE DISPOSED
OF BY JUDGES WHITTHORNE, ,
TURNER AND HOLDING. ,
(Daily Herald, Nov. 15.)
There have been no less than three
chancellors presiding in the chancery
court this week. Judge Turner, of the
circuit court, has heard a number of
rases and then when he' went to Pu
laski to try cases there Judge Whit
thorne, of the county court, took his
place. One case, that of J. C. Voor
hies vs.' R. M. Williams, was tried by
agreement with Judge Holding as
special chancellor. The court decided
the case in favor of the complainant,
Mr. Voorhies.
An interesting case decided this
week was that of Abernathy against
Scott from the Culleoka section and
involving the right to a road. The
complainant sought "to enjoin the de
fandants from the use of a right of
way. The court not only refused the
injunction but decided that the Scotts
were entitled to a right of way perpet
ually over the lands in question.

"FARM TO TABLE
WEEK" NOV. 1 5 22:
SHIP BY TRUCK
AUTOMOBILITSTS URGED TO FILL
THEIR MARKET BASKETS
IN COUNTRY.
SAYING THE FOOD SUPPLY
Farmer Is Urged to-Co-Operate With
Motorist by Offering Products at
Reduced Prices Great Surplus of
Food'ln Hands of Producers.
It's up to American motorists to
come to the rescue of thousands of
tons of farm produce. ,Vast supplies
of apples, potatoes, onions, beets, cab
bage, squash, pumpkins and other per
ishable foor stuffs are now in the
hands of farmers. Tons and tons of
it will rot and spoil for lack of time
and transportation to markets and
shipping centers, unless outside help
alid facilities come to the aid of the
farmers.
"Farm-to-Table" week, November
15-22 has been designated by the auto
mobile industry for a nation-wide dem
onstration of the readiness and wil
lingness of city motorists and the far
mer to get-together in relieving the
acute situation.
"Motor to the country and fill your
market basket" is the slogan adopted
by the allied constituents of H. C. L.
From reports received from various
"Farm-to-Table" headquarters literally
swarms of autolsts will take the road
during the week. So pronounced has
been the indicated response on the
part of car owners, leaders in the
movement are taking steps to inform
not only the farmers along the beaten
highway routes and paved roads, but
as well, the farmers along the small
country lanes and out-pf-way roads.
Knowing that prices are apt to be low
er on the last traveled roads, and the
supplies just as plentiful, -thousands
of car owners are expected to explore
farther than the usual routes. Thus
more farmers and more city consum
ers will be served by the movement.
The success of the entire undertake
ing is largely up to the farmer. He
can make or break his chances for fu
ture trade of this character. If his
prices are no lower than those charg
ed in the city he will not receive the
fullest co-operation from the city mo
torist. In' fixing his prices the farm-,
er should -bear in mind that when the
city man comes to his gate he is sav
ed the expense and time of transport
ing his goods to market. And that
the city man is spending his time, gas
oline and tire wear to help move and
rescue his produce. ' , j
"Farm-to-Table" week has many at
tractions for the city car owner. Aside
from the feature of reduced prices of
butter, eggs, fruits and vegetables
there are other benefits. He can make
his motor car more efficient. There
is the element of recreation presented
by a short tour into he country, when
the country roadsides and fileds are
ablaze with autumnal colorings. Also
there is the item of health. A trip in
the brisk" snappy November tempera
ture is certain to impress the city man
with the importance of more frequent
and longer trips during the fall and
early winter season. v
"Farm-to-Table" week is a 50-50
proposition. The farmers furnish
equipment consisting of a roadside
market and a blackboard or sign list
ing his wares and reasonable prices
for same. The motorist equipment is
his automobile and a few hours' leis
ure time. Both should be possessed
of a spirit of "team-work."
Nov. 15-22 has tremendous possibil
ities. A majority of America's 3,000
00 motorists are expected to take ad
vantage of them. Likewise thousands
of farmers-will be benefitted by this
vast co-operative program.

LABOR SCARCITY
HAMPERS TURKEY
DEALERS HERE
NEVER BEFORE HAD SUCH DIFFI
CULTY IN GETTING BIRDS
PICKED AND PACKED.
WORKERS MAKE GOOD WAGES TOO
Estimated That the Crop of the Coun
ty Will Run Around a Quarter of a
Million Pounds and Will Be Worth
About $75,C00 to Farmers,
Great difficulty is being experienc
ed by the produce dealers here in ob
taining labor for picking and packing
tho Thanksgiving turkay crop. W. S.
Beasley, of the Columbia Produce Co.,
said 4hat while the county's crop of
the national bird was not quite up to
the average of past years, itwas not
altogether an unfortunate thing, be
cause otherwise he did not know how
they would be taken care of.
All of the dealers agree that never
before has it been so difficult to se
cure pickers. Many of the pickers,
who are experts, have made as high,
as ?5 in a day. But many of them do
not care to work a full day as they
are paid by the turkey, in consequence
they do not have to work full time in
order to make several dollars. But
that fact cuts down the output.
With the major portion of the crop
of the county marketed at around thir
ty cents a pound, those farmers who
were fortunate enough to have tur
keys have received splendid rewards.
It is estimated that something close
to a quarter of a million pounds of tur
keys, live weight, will be marketed in
the county. At thirty cents per pound
that would be seventy-five thousand
dollars.' For a side line on the farm
that is not bad. Equally divided and
it would give an average of $15 to
each of the 5,000 farms estimated to
be in the county. It is nearly $2 for
every man, woman and child in the
county. Then there is the Christmas
crop to come, but that seldom equals
the output at Thanksgiving. i
The market is slightly weaker than
It has been and no higher prices are'
expected.

box of Cascarets at the drug store
and rid your liver, stomach, and bow
els of thp excess bile, poisons, and
waste which are keeping you miser
able. Cascarets never gripe, never

FRONTAGE SIXTY-SIX, FEET ARE TO FEED MANY LIVE STOCK d
In Line With Progressive Spirit an
increased Business Bank Plant for
' Larger and More Convenient Quar
ters for its Customers.
Arrangements have been completed
by a committee of the board of direc
tors of the Phoenix aNtlonal Bank to
purchase the building now occupied
by the bank on the corner of Court
Square and Seventh street and also
the adjoining property occupied by
the McMahon Jewelry Company, the
purchase to-e come effective on Jan.
1. The consideration was $110,500.
This purchase will give the bank a
frontage on West Seventh street, the
most popular business street in the
city, of sixty feet and will enable it
to add materially to its banking space.
The growth of this bank which has
been phenomenal in recent years, has
long made necessary an increase of
its banking space. It will also have a
frontage on court square.
The purchase of this property is in
line with the progressive spirit of
the bank, which had the distinction
of being the first In Maury connty to
have a surplus fund equalling its cap
ital stock. While the bank has no
plans for the present for a new build
ing, it could expend over a hundred
thousand dollars for that purpose if
the directors so desired without touch
ing a dollar of the capital as the sur
plus and undivided profits now large
ly exceed the capital stock. In the
course of time it is expected that a
building commensurate with thesize
and business of the bank will be erect
ed. .
It is expected that the purchase of
the property will be approved by the
directors at the next meeting.
SPLENDID
RESUL
ROAD
IS
PUBLIC SPIRIT
One of the best examples of road
build inffthrouglr co-operation of the
neighbors is the road leading from the
Nashville pike just" beyond Neapolis
to the Spring Mill and Kedron pike
by way of Oakmont. When the gravel
is placed on about 400 yards this will
be one of the best pikes in the county
and it has been constructed almost
wholly through the generosity of a
few people. Tho rights of way, grad
ing and metalling has .been largely
through private subscription. Al
ready more than 2,400 loads of fine
creek gravel have been placed on the
road. If a similar spirit were mani
fested on other roads, the county
would soon have a magnificent system
oi' highways.
Many Causes Have Contributed to In
crease the Number Who Are Finish. ,j IH
ing Beef Condition Not Merely Lo-' ' ''
cal As Statistics Show. ,'.;-i i(
That the farmers of this county are
going more and more to live stock Is
shown in the remarkable situation
that obtains in the local corn market.
The demand for corn by farmers is
said by dealers, to exceed anything
that they have ever known at this
season of the year. An unusually large
number of cattle are going to be fed
this year and a great many farmers
are buying whereas in the past they
have been selling corn.
It was stated by E. J. Park, of the
Culleoka Produce Company, at Culle
oka, which is oue of the largest ship
pers of corn In the county, that this
fall there were actually more farmers
in that section of Maury and Mar
shall counties buying corn than there
were farmers selling corn. This is a
unique situation. The receipts of
corn in Columbia from the farms have
been remarkably light. Many farmers ,
have actually offered over the market ;
price In order to get corn.
That the farmers of the nation have
an increased interest in beef cattle ia
shown in the fact that this year there
has been an increase of over twelve
per cent in the number of cattle that
has gone through the stockyards to
the farms over the number going that
route last year. Recent advances in
beef cattle have stimulated feeding
It has been found also that the finish
ed cattle are much more certain of a
stable market than the unfinished sort.
This movement to live stock Is due
to many causes. It is in part a reac-
tion from the war. During the war,
under the appeal of the nation the
farmer sacrificed soil maintenance
and crop rotation to produce bumper
grain crops. Now they are faced with
the necessity for again building up
the lands. This can be done more
profitably with live stock than any
other way.
The scarcity and high cost of labor
has also been an important factor in
encouraging . live stock farming. It
requires much less labor to feed and
pasture cattle than it does to grow'
so much grain.

LOCAL CONCERN WILL BUY ALL OF
WASTE PAPER 111 THIS SECTION
For the purpose of buying all the
waste paper, old newspapers, maga
zines and wrapping paper in this sec
tion the Maury Waste Paper Company
has been organized here. W. W. Jones
wiil be president, S. W. Witherspoon
manager and Joseph M. Hayse secre
tary and treasurer. Messrs. Wither
spoon and Hayse are well known
here while Mr. Jones does not live
in the county but is furnishing a good
deal of the capital.
This company believes that there
is a decidedly good field for a concern
of this kind. The Officers are persuad-'
ed that with the Increasing scarcity
of paper the waste that Is annually
lost in this section enn be utilized to
the profit of those who save it as well '
as to the profit of the company.
The headquarters, of the company
will be in the rear of the old Depot
Hotel. Business houses, schools, etcw
are asked to communicate with the
company about their waste paper,
heretofore practically all of the waste
paper in the county has been lost but
this company expects to make ft
worth saving.
BUTTER FAT SOARS AS WORK ON
CREAMERY HERE IS COMMENCED
Work of actual construction of the
walls of the new building for the

pany was signalized today by an ad
vance in the price of butter fat to
the highest point ever quoted In Ten
nessee. The company 13 offering sev
enty cenU a pound. This was an ad
vance of four and a half cents and is
three cents above the previous high I
point.
The brick work is being done by j
the Richardson Lumber Company and ;
with favorable weather it Is expected j
to complete the walls by Saturday j
night. It has been impossible to ob
tain cream colored brick so it was de
elded to use the brown brick and paint
the front rather than delay construc
tion. High hopes are entertained that
the building will be completed by the
middle of next month and the ma
chinery installed by Christmas. Of
course these plans depend largely for
the.ir successful consummation on the
weather conditions between now and
that time.
The building will be 12 feet by !x
ty feet. Contracts have already been
let for the finest machinery obtaina

equipment Since the recent publica
