POULTRY OUTLOOK
ENCOURAGING FOR
MlURY THIS FALL
The COOL WEATHER HAS GRE
ATED A MUCH MORE ACTIVE
MARKET.
|. EGG QUALITY HAS IMPROVED
Shipments Of Geese and Ducks for
the Jewish Holiday Observation.
Turkeys Are Coming In and the
Quality is Good for the Season.

The cooler weather OF the past few
days has put an entirely different as
pect on the egg and poultry market
in Columbia, and the dealers are very
hopeful Of the conditions. There is
more activity at the different places
of business, and altogether there lis
an air Of expectation that has not
prevailed for several months.
There is decided Improvement in
the quality Of the eggs that are being
offered on the market now, and but
for the extraordinary amount OF stor-
age eggs that are being put on the
markets at other places the fresh
stock would command better than rs
cents per dozen. Gambling will be
kept up for some time yet. but when
this Is abandoned on account of the
improvement Of the quality then the
prices are likely to be at good high
level Some OF the dealers here are
looking after the storage stock they
had on hand, and this is finding it's
way to the markets
Already dressed poultry stock is
being shipped from Columbia, and the
prices are good, with promise Of
better One firm in the city is get
ting out a couple of carloads Of geese
and ducks for the Jewish holiday on
October and 3, and this stock will
be shipped direct to New York. This
is one Of the greatest of the holidays
and the price Of the fowls cuts no
particular figure, as every orthodox
Jew is going to have a duck or goose
or a fowl of some character on that
date.
Turkeys are coming in some al
ready and the dealers report an extra
fine quality for the early 1 season.
This is accounted for by the fact that
the season was dry and the young
birds were allowed to grow off un-
hampered by unfavorab1e weather
conditions. and they have become
strong healthy fowls without any in
terruption The crop is a short one
in comparison with the usual crop in
Maury county, but in comparison with
that Of last year is favorable one
Last year the crop was much short
er one than usual and the prices were
correspondingly high. The prices
this year promise to be practically
the same as last year at Thanksgiv-
ing time.

ing Perception to Her Mind
Craving for Doll the Foundation.

of the wonders of the world.
With Miss Keller will come to the
exposition Mrs. John Macy, her de-
voted friend, mentor and teacher
who has been with the deaf, dumb
and blind girl almost continuously
for owe rtwenty years. Aside from
the oral address that Miss Keller
will make the address of Mrs. Macy
will be one Of the big features Of the
day
Suppose a person were blind, deaf
and dumb? Suppose that person
had never heard word spoken that
she could remember or had never
seen single tring in teh world.
suppose she had never spoken a
word herself? How would one go
about to bring to this persons mind
perception of what things really
are!
Mrs. Macy will tell this story in
her lecture and will show how 1t was
through the natural craving OF a
little girl for doll that there dawn
ed on Helen Keller the perceptions
of what different things were. Now
Heeln Keller is college graduate
and, although dumb, has learned to
speak. Helen Keller Day" will be
one Of the many big days at the Ma
tional Conservation Exposition.

BANK PRESIDENTS PROTEST.
Objections to Washed Currency Will
Appear in Congressional Record.

After attempting for many weeks 10
have printed as a public document some
four or five hundred letters from bank
presidents throughout the country con-
demning the practice of washing the
currency Senator MARITIME of New Jer-
sey today succeeded in obtaining PEI
mission to print in the Congressional
Record dozen of these letters.
Senator Smoot, a member OF the print
ing committee OF the Senate, protested
vigorously in the past against the print
ing of a large number OF letters, all of
which he insisted must be very similar
in character. and he urged Senator Mar
tine to content himself with having
printed a few of the letters. This course
was finally adopted by Senator MARITIME.
The letters also contain protests against
the proposal of former Secretary Mac
veagh Of the Treasury Department 10
reduce the size of the notes from their
present dimensions to the ''shinplaster"
size Of the Philippine currency.
The bankers take the stand that washed
money is susceptible of counterfeiting.

RUSSIA IS BIG BUYER
FROM UNITED STATES
Despite Reports of Boycott,
Country Took $4,000 900
Worth Last Year.

Despite all the reports in the early part
Of the year from Russia OF boycotts for
American products. particularly agricul-
tural machinery, on account Of the abro-
cation by the United States OF the treaty
Of trade and commerce with that country.
the bureau Of foreign and domestic COM
merce comes out with figures showing the
exports of agricultural machinery to Rus
STA during the fiscal year 1913 to be larger
than for any previous year
Even though the United States figures
show that fully $4,000. 900 worth OF agri-
cultural machinery had gone to Russia.
the figures produced by the latter coun-
try show an importation of American ae-
ricultural machinery amounting to APP
proximately S12.O00O00. This is explained
by the bureau of foreign and domestic
commerce as being due to the fact that
the Russian figures include American
products purchased In European couns
tries.
Russia Largest Purchaser.
Not only did the exports OF agricultural
machinery TO Russia show an increase.
but that country was the largest pur-
chaser fro mthe United States. Canada
came second with $7.OOO.OOo: Argentina.
$6.5OO.OO0; Germany. s4,0000OO; France
$500 600: United Kingdom. S1.Ooo0Vs
and Australia and New Zealand, $1,000
600.
The growth in exports Of America
agricultural machinery to Russia, says
a publication of the bureau OF foreign and
domestic commerce. is more rapid, pro-
portionately, than that to other parts
Of the world. Our total exports OF agri-
cultural implements in 1903 were S2l.Nh.-
COO. and in 1913 approximately s42.eC
900. Our exports Of agricultural impie-
ments to Russia in 1905 We're S3..oov0,
and in 1913 approximately S10,ooo.0lV.
having practically trebled I'm that Pc
riod.

half of the total value OF our agricultural
