COLORS AND HEALTH.
Experiments Prove Blue Most Health.

What colors are healthful and life
giving and what devitalizing have
been determined by R. Goulburn
Lowell, vice president of the British
Society of Architects. Despite old re-
marks about the blues" me finds
that they are by all odds the most
healthful shades. In his lecture on
Courage in Color" he said that a
point of Importance to be constantly
remembered in the use of colors was
their selection from scientific stand
point. 1t had been proved that where
as blue had a most stimulating and
health-giving power, green produced
entirely the reverse Any one could
prove that statement for himself if he
took a series of cloches, of the glass
bells used in French gardening. These
should be of all colors, and if placed
over any living object, such as plants,
insects, etc., it would be found that
those under the blue cIoche would in
crease in size, vigor and vitality, and
those under the green cloche would
wither away rapidly. It would fur
ther be found that the colors between
blue and the green would run in the
following order of life-giving prop

Mr.. White has been one of the lead

the leader of the fusion forces in the

recent tempestuous sessions of the
legislature he presided with such fair

good opinion and confidence of both
friend and foe. Mr.. White has hum

hope that the day will come when
they will have an opportunity to vote
for him for governor.

MON IHLY MEETING
OF ROAD COMMISSION
At COURT HOUSE
HICKS RICHARDSON REELECTED
SUPERINTENDENT FOR THE
ENSUING YEAR,
LITTLE BUSINESS TRANSACTED
Tom Swami Chosen First Guard and
George Jones Second-Pr risoners
Now at Work on Pike to Marshall
County Line-Big Squad.

The monthly meeting of the Maury
county road commission was held at
court house Monday. Hicks Richard
son, who has been the superintendent
for the past two years of the work
house, was reelected for another
term OF one year. Tom Swami, of the
sixth district, was selected as the
first guard for the ensuing year, and
George Jones, of the fifth district, as
the second.
Little else was done by the commits
sion at their meeting. They were in
session only short time. The work
|of Superintendent Richardson during
the past year came in for strong praise
and approval. The work upon the
county roads has steadily progressed
under his management. There are
now more men at work than there
have been in several years. The to.
tai number runs over fifty men. The
increased number is due in great
measure to the effective work of the
county judge and the city officers in
catching and convicting the bootleg
gers and pistol toters that have been
running at large in previous months.

THANKS NEWSPAPERS
FOR VALUABLE AID
PUBLICITY CAMPAIGN OF PAST
FEW WEEKS VERY EFFEC.
TIVE,
PAPERS RENDERED ASSISTANCE
Bonds Have Been Issued on Taxes
Voted in Eight Counties at January
Terms of Courts-Provision for
High Schools.

Supt Thompson, of the state de-
partment of public instruction, has
just issued handsome booklet, which
has been sent to Supt, Graham of this
county. In the introduction he ad-
dressed an open letter to the newspa-
pers of the state which have aided
in the campaign of publicity for bet
ter and more efficient public schools.
The letter was as follows:
For the past few weeks the Tennes-
see department Of education has been
carrying on a campaign for better
schools by means of additional levies
and bond issues. Every newspaper In
the state, whether weekly daily, and
of whatever political principles or re-
ligious faith, has aided in this cam
paign which has been largely one of
publicity. Eight new counties at their
respective January terms of court vot-
ed for high schools. Twelve counties
voted additional leyies for common
schools or bond issue, but since ole
of these eight is included in the eight
voting high school taxes, new action
of some kind was taken in nineteen
different countines in the state. l at
tribute this very largely to the print
ed page of the newspapers Of the
state, and hereby tender my personal
thanks to editors and managers OF
these papers and assure them of the
hearty appreciation of school people
of the state and the grateful thanks
|of the thousands of boys and girls all
over our great commonwealth Not
until Tennessee has nine months COM
mon schools and high school in ev-
cry county will your humble servant
be content to rest this agitation for
better schools.
Again I thank you from the bottom
of my heart.

|ANNUAL MATCH BILL
Of LOCAL CLUBOvER
FIFTY DOLLARS
BETWEEN 100000 AND 100000
MATCHES USED IN A
YEAR.
CONSIDERABLE item OF EXPENSE
If Put End to End, Would Stretch
More Than Twelve MiIes-WouId
Reach Beyond Spring Hill on North
and Mt. Pleasant on West.

AS has been remarked several times
prior to the present occasion, life is
made up of small things. Some of
the old wiseacres dug up the instance
of the acorn and the oak to prove the
veracity of their statement. A little
matter that further illustrates the
entire truthfulness of their contention
is the number of matches used at one
of the local clubs. One of the men,
bers is authority for the statement
that the annual match bill is between
$50 and $50.
Calculating that there are seventy
five matches in each penny box, there
would be between 100000 and 100000
used in the course of year. Each
match is about two inches long. If
they were placed end to end, they
would extend something like 100000
inches. On an air line they would
reach on the north beyond Spring
Hill almost to Thompson's Station, on
the south to the Giles county line, on
the east nearly to Rally Hill, and on
the west to Sandy Hook. This is only
a small matter and one of the few
items of expense, but it emphasizes
and forcefully illustrates the high
cost of living that prevails these days.
However, Columbia is not the only
city in the country that has a match
bill to pay annually. The cost of this
one article alone in the United State
is more than twelve million dollars
per year. This more than twice the
amount spent for textbooks and other
educational supplies in the country.

ON EIGHTH
STREET THROUGH
MISTAKE IN PARTY
CITY MARSHAL M'CLAIN FORCED
TO CLUB TELEPHONE
FOREMAN.
MATTER FINALLY ADJUSTED
Blast in City Limits Causes Arrest of
Wrong Person-Due to Failure of
Foreman to Give Sufficient Explana-
tion-Mclean Regrets Occurrence.

A more or less sensational assault
took place Tuesday afternoon about
4 o'clock on East Eighth street, when
City Marshal Tom Mclean was forced
to club Mr.. Gilmer, one of the fore
men of some work. that is being done
there by the telephone company.
Hearing loud explosion from
blast, Marshal Mclean and Patrol
man Will Lancaster went to the scene
and asked for the foreman, saying
that it would be necessary to cite him
before the City Judge Wednesday
morning for setting off such a large
blast in the city limits, as the rocks
were thrown several yards and there
was danger of injury to those living
in the vicinity of the work. Mr.. Gil
mer stated that he was the foreman,
and that he wasn't going to make his
appearance before the court Wednes-
day. The officers replied that they
would have to take him right then on
a charge of resisting them and defy
ing the city's authority. He said he
wasn't going, and so the officers took
him in tow. He made resistance,
twisting and squirming and trying to
get away from them. Marshal Nc
Lean stated that when he stamped his
foot in the struggles, he used his club
on him, knocking him partly down.
This brought the gentleman to real
ization of his situation, and he forth
with proceeded to explain that he was
not the foreman then on the job, al
though he had been the day before.
The officers turned him loose upon
the strength of this explanation Of af-
fairs. Marshal Mclean greatly re-
gretted the occurrence, but thought
it was necessary at the time, as, ac-
cording to the mans statement, he
was in charge of the work.
Later in the afternoon the foreman,
who had ordered the blast to be ex-
ploded, was seen and informed that
he should appear before the city court
to answer for setting it off. He did
so Wednesday morning, and was fined

FRUIT GROWERS GO
TO CAPITAL CITY
AT TER CONVENTION
OF MAURY TO
VISIT NASHVILLE IN FULL
FORCE.
WANT Bee KEEPERS HERE TOO
Bearing Invitations From the Board
of Trade to Hold the Next Sessions
of Organization in DimpIe-Large
Delegation viii Attend.
tuesdays Daily.)

The Board of Trade, through Pres
ident Parker and Ashley Sowell, are
after next meeting for Columbia of
the combined organizations of the
State Horticultural Society, the Ten
nessee Nurserymen's Association, and
the State Beekeeper's Society. The
present meeting of these combined
clubs will be held in Nashville on
Jan. %, 29 and 30. Quite a number
of the prominent citizens of the coun-
ty will attend these conventions.
Among the number are l. G. Murphy,
who will read a paper before the hor-
ticultural society on my Experience
With Power Sprayer;" r. A..
Wilkes, of Culleoka, one of the larg-
est and best informed nurserymen in
the state; Horace Rainey, the local
fruit man, and John l.. Jones, who
takes great interest in all matters
that pertain to Maury county.
John M. Davis, president of the State
Beekeepers Association. Percy
Brown, of Spring Hill, will also attend
the conventions, and will lend their
assistance in bringing these associa-
tions to Columbia in 1915 to hold their
annual convention.
The representatives from Maury
county are a unit in their efforts to
get these big conventions. They are
working shoulder to shoulder with the
officers Of the Board Of Trade in their
efforts. Secretary Sowell thinks that
they should encounter little opposition
by reason of the fact that Columbia is
the logical place for the annual meet
ings of these bodies. 1t is situated
right in the heart of the section that
produces a large per cent of the fruit
shipped from this state Several Of
the men mentioned above are known
over the whole state as authorities in
their line Should the conventions Of
these three organizations be Sc
cured in 1915, fine opportunity would
be afforded to advertise and make
known to men from all sections the
peculiar advantages that Maury coun-
ty has to offer all classes of farmers,
horticulturists and nurserymen for
their business.
