MILL TO CLOSE
tlOVVN TU HELPt
IN HAY SAVING
BASCOM jREGEN AND HIS FORCE
SET FINE EXAMPLE TO SOLVE
FARM LABOR PROBLEM.
i v
TO GO TO THE CLOVER FIELDS
Everyone of Force of Fifteen Volun
teers to Aid William P. Ridley, of
Clifton Place on Largest Red Clo
ver Acreage Ever Grown In County.
Bascom Regen and his splendid
force of hands who have been work
ing in the mill are going to aid in solv-,
ing the labor problem incident to sav
ing hay in the country next week. Mr.
Regen and his entire force have vol
unteered to go to the hay fields of
William P. Ridley on Clifton Place
and stay there until all of the-, red
clover hay has been saved. '
Mr. Ridley has no less than 650
acres of qs flue red eloyer hay ,td save
as ever grew in tjho Dimple. It ,is
probably the largest clover acreage
ever grown on a single farm in May
ry county. 'The wet spring, has given
it a tremendous growth. Mr. Regen
called his force together the other
day and asked them'if they would go
to tho hay fieftls. With one accord
they volunteered for that service.
Mr. Regen himself will set an exam
ple as he stated to The Herald repre
sentative this morning that he ex
pected to run a mower, handle the
rake and help with the loading and
unloading of the hay, that while the
years were creeping upon him and. he
had not done much farm work in a
long time, in this time bf stress he
felt it his patriotic duty to work.
The example set by Mr.' Regen in
closing down his mill and going to the
aid of the sorely pressed food produc
er is one that is altogether worthy of
emulation. There is an insistent call
for labor from various parts of the
county and it has been suggested that
the Kiwanis Club could not do any
thing that would really prove as help
ful as to establish a farm labor bu
reau and assist farmers to get labor
from the town during the haying and
harvesting period.

(By United Press.) .
WASHINGTON. May 27. Farmers
throughout the United States through
tho national council of agriculture
have asked congress for from $25,000,
000 to $10,000,000 with which to pur
chase live stock and other necessities
to keep the farms productive.
Secretary Marsh in his letter re
quested that the legislation be passed
before the convention recess, and that
the fund be made of a revolving na-)

farmers.
SUPPORTER OF, ENGLISH RESO
LUTION POINTS WAY OUT OF
PRESENT DIFFICULTY.
YIELDED TO HIS; CONSTITUENTS
But If They Can Be Given Any Assur
ance of Justice in- the Future He
Would Be Joined With Others in
Reversing His Course.
"If the advocates? of the contract
for building the Spring Hill to Colum
bia road bad presened to the court
Monday any sort of ponstructive pro
gram to take care, if the pikes lead
ing to Columbia and that cannot hope
to have state and federal aid, at least
not foEyears to come, I would have
voted for it, and so would others who
supported the English resolution."
The above statement was made by
a prominent member) of the county
court who voted Jiton&ay, for -the Eng
lish resolution. This justice went
further and said that it at the next
meeting of the court, the members
who insisted upon the full ratifica
tion of what was done by the state
highway commission, would join the
opponents of that measure in giving
some 'sort of assurance to the people
of the first, second, fourth, fifth,
eighth and tenth districts that they
would within, the near future 'have
substantial roads built through them
to the county seat, he would gladly
vote for sufficient bonds to complete
the original forty three mile project.
"Personally, I would x have been
glad to have supported the contract
and would have voted for an addi
tional bond issue suffiicent to com
plete the three highways, but my
people, not one of whom would travel
a mile of the roads to get to Co
lumbia were almost a unit against it
and I frankly state that in my vote
I reflected their known wishes," con
tinued the above quoted members.
"For voting the almost unanimous'
sentiment of my people, those who
have trusted me, I have no apology
to offer but I am sure that if my
people can be assured within a rea
sonable time of a twelve foot high
way to, the county seat, built sub
stantially like the roadsin Davidson
county, and which I am informed can
be built for $10,000 a mile, they would
be perfectly satisfied to have , me
vote for the state and federal aid
projects, regardless of the cost. I
know other members of the court in
the same category. So. far a3 I am
concerned I am glad the state is go
ing to build the road regardless of
our action, for nothing has really
been lost. Now let the advocates of
good roads co-operate with us in a
real county wide program and stop
abusing people who could not see the
justice in putting all our road money
on forty-three miles of pikes and our
dififcultics will be solved."

the United States entered the war,
and ,he listed among the purposes
omitted by Senator Knox, the free
dom of the seas, the reduction of arm
aments, the vindication of the rights
of Belgium, the righting of wrongs
to France, and the release of Chris
tian peoples under Turkish rules, and
the vindication of Polish outrages.
A two-thirds vote of the senate
will now be required to pass the reso
lution over the ' President's veto.
FINAL MEETING OF
GUARANTORS FOR
WILL BE HELD TONIGHT AT "MAU
RY UNDERTAKING CO, TO PLAN
A LAST APPEAL.
MANY TICKETS ARE UNSOLD
Public Spirited Citizens Who Make
This High Class Entertainment
Possible Believe That People Will
Rally to Cause.
There will be a final meeting of the
guarantors of the Redpath Chautau
qua at the offices of the' Maury Under
taking .Company tonight at 7:30
o'clock sharp. With only two days un
til the great annual event begins the
ticket sale has not been up to the
expectations of the guarantors and
plans will be perfected tonight for a
final drive to go over the top.
Some twenty citizens of the com
munity alive to the value of the Chau
tauqua, have . guaranteed the sale cf
750 tickets.-' Of course if they fail to
sell that number they will have to
pay the difference out pf their own
pockets. They do not believe that
the people of the city or county want
this done. They have no more inter
est in the Chautauqua than any other
citizens and the time and effort that
they contribute ought to be sufficient
without expecting them to pay any
money. -,
There are many who have s'gned
pledges that they will take one or
more tickets this year who have not
yet redeemed those pledges. It is
hoped that before tomorrow, night
every one of these pledges will have
been redeemed. The tickets can be
obtained at Adkisson & Pigg Bros.,
Stephenson Bros. Drug Store, Ander
son Bros. & Foster, Woldrldge'a
Black's Drug Store, Maury Undertak
ing Company, or any member of the
committee in charge will see that
any one gets a ticket.
The season ticket not only helps to
meet the guarantee but it is much
cheaper to the purchaser than the tick
et for every performance. The pro
gram is a very attractive one and
nearly all will want to attend all of
the performances.

Eddie Collins, state president of the
state Rebekah lodge, who will be In
Columbia Monday night to install the
local lodge and issue dispensation.
The local Rebekah lodge had been
defunct for about twelve years,, but
with the interest that was manifest
ed at the reorganization meeting last
night it is believed that the order will
now flourish here.
' Both men and women are eligible
to membership in the Rebekah lodge,
but in order for men to become affili
ated wl t'li "the lodge it is flirsf necessary
fori them to become members of the
Odd Fellows lodge. This is not true
of the women, it does not matter
whether or not they bave relatives
in the Odd Fellows to make them eli
gible for membership.
Great things are already being
planned for the meeting of the Grand
Lodge hero this fall, and it is expect
ed that within the next few weeks
committees will begin making all ar
rangements looking to the housing
and entertainment of tho visitors
while they remain in the Dimp'e of
the Universe. The Grand Lodge will
convene here on October 20 and will
be in session for four days. In addi
tion to the 1,200 delegates from Odd
Fellow and Rebekah lodges from over
the state, it is expected that many oth
er members of the order will take ad
vantage of the opportunity to visit
Columbia, and to attend the Grand
