All hail the now eating champions!
The Herald force last night' broke
all long distance -and endurance food
destroying records at a banquet given
at the Hotel ilethel by.' the owners of
the paper to members of the force.
Food disappeared as if by magic. First
honors go to the carrier boys, while
the typos and news gatherers ran n
dead heat and tied for the second
place. Honorable mention should
also be made of the owners of the pa-!
per. Seriously it was a revelation to
see the "hungry gang fall to." It was
a banquet "what wuz a banquet" with
turkey and all the trlmmins', and then
some. Some of the boys who bad be
lieved that Christmas comes only onco
a year changed their mlnd3. Hardly
had cigars been lighted, when sud

howled outside like,ome living being

"This is The Herald ghost,' who In tho
past has walked only fifty-two times
each year, but in this year walks one

Then silently the ghost laid an envel
ope beside the plate of each member
of the force, and disappeared as quiet

FOR PEACE OF WORLD.
Despite the downpour of rain, the
watch service at the First Presbyte
rian church, held last night, was well
attended. The social gathering at
8: SO o'clock was largely attended, and
for tho first time the ladies of the
church used tho new kitchen equip
ment to servo refreshments.
At 10 o'clock the congregation re
paired to the main auditorium, where
services contiued until after midnight.
A number of interesting speeches
were made by the several elders of the
church. Special and beautiful music
was rendered and during the services
there were two additions to the
church.
At midnight the entire congregation
was upon their knees praying for the
advancement of Cod's Kingdom dur
ing tho year 1020 and for the peace
of the world.
Maury county is swinging into line
for the great state drive against tu
berculosis. ' Gov.' Roberts la chairman
of the state drive nijrt his interest is
red hot in the cause, owing to the
terrible economic anil physical condi
tion in the state of Tennessee.
The local committee stands as fol
lows C Joseph. M. Hayse, Maj. Horace
Fnei'son, C. A. Ross, Dr. Robert Pil
low, Jr., and Mayor Jos. Dedman. The
,'personnel of the committee is guaran
tee for a vigorous drive giving to ev
ery citizen the opportunity to make
a worth while contribution to the per
manent health of the country.
Since the money raised is to bo ex
pended largely in .the county, the ap
peal for funds has a particularly local
flavor.
The campaign over the state every
where is going over the top. Chatta

thous'mlldtlars.
Gov'. Roberts is personally interest
ed in Uiis mpalgn because mortality

WASHINGTON, Jan. I. President
Wilson has signed tho McNary sugar
bill, extending for one year the life of
the sugar equalization board, it was
announced at the White House today.
It is doubtful if the President will ex
ercise his power in the' purchase and
distribution of sugar. The licensing
power continued by the bill may re
duce the price of sugar. Much of the
Cuban sugar crop Is now coming into
the United States, and indications are
that prices will drop within tho next
AVhen tho clock struck twelve at
midnight Wednesday, Columbia and
Maury county closed the most prosper
ous year they have ever known. Co
lumbia, did by far the largest volume
of business its history has ever known.
Thiq is reflected in the increased do
posits in the banks, the increase iu
their resources and in the larger busi
ness at the postofflco, the merchants
and Id fact every other Interest in the
county. '
Tho number of business failures in
the county was the smallest In any
year of the past. Credits of firms and
business men was higher during' the
year than it has ever been. Collec
tions have been more prompt and larg
er. In fact bv every possible stand-
u
ard business shows, a big gain. It, Is
. .; . . . . - -
probably safe to say that the -aggregate
during the year was at least fifty
"per cent aboVe any formefyear;;':";-.
Real estate transfers have been
more numerous and aggregate more
than In any other year. Values of
farms and city property have soared
to heights never before known. The
fact that costs of living Increased al
most every month not only did not de
crease business but added to it. More
automobiles, more, trucks, more trac
tors, more fence, more farm machin
ery, more .lighting plants, more bath
tubs, in fact more of the evidences of
"higher civilization" wore sold than
I in any former year, notwithstanding
j the fact that they sold at tinprecedent
I ed prices.

Senator Hitchcock Discusses Matter)
With Secretary Tumulty, and Finds
That President's Interest In tha
Fieht Has Reawakened.
(By United Press.) !
WASHINGTON, Jan.' l.-Presldent
Wilson has re-entered tho peace ,trea
ty fight, according to opinion express
ed in well informed senate circles to-
day. Senator Hitchcock told certain
senators bday the details' of bis talk
with Secretary Tumulty late vester-
day. ' .'; -.'
President Wilson has said that ho
has washed his hands of the treaty
fight, but Secretary Tumulty said yes-
terday ho was seeking information for
the President, and it seems that he In
tends to take up tho fight again. The "
President's interest in the senate'B de
velopments is due, it was learned to
the recont .events In London, where
the utmost concern was manifested , s
over the proposal to make the Anrl-''.
can voting strength in Hie leagiif-!;.
equal to that of the. British empire.
Lloyd George, who recently made a
speech, championing the right of Can
adaada and, Australia to separate .
rotes in the league, is understood to
have told this government that the
reservation on the subject proposed '
by Senator Lenroot mado part of the
Lodge resolutions would cause troub
le. He said ho would oppose tiff
measure which would deny self gov
erning Brltalnic colonies the right .to
protect their own interests.; in the
league. Republican senaiora refuso to
yield on the Lenroot i reservation, and
ay they- cannot agree- to America's
entrance into any combination where
