Wheat HARVEST
BEGINS IN COUNTY
FLINDERS STARTED IN MANY
FIELDS IN ALL SECTIONS
OF MAURY.

Old Sol has shown for two whole
days and just for that the whir Of the
binder is being heard in several fields
in the county today. Barley has been
cut in many sections but the first
wheat in the county is going down to-
day. Many rye fields are also being
cut. The wheat harvest has CON-
menced a little sooner than usual, ow-
ing largely to the long continued dry
weather Of the early spring which
caused the grain to ripen faster than
common. Estimates as to the yield
Of the wheat crop Of the county vary
widely and 1t will be after the har-
vest Is well advanced before an intel.
ligeat estimate can. be obtained.

BIG DECREASE
IN BAD CHECKS
RESULT OF NEW LAW, DECLARES
SECRETARY OF RETAIL CRED.
IT MEMS ASSOCIATION.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, June "A &C.
crease of rs per cent in the Lumber
of bad checks passed on merchants is
said by Miss Frances Foulks, secreta-
ry of the Retail Credit Mems Associa-
ton, to be the result of the bad check
law passed by the last legislature.
The law has been effective for the
last two months. 1t defines the act of
giving a worthless check of less than
$50 as misdemeanor, punishable ty
a fine or workhouse sentence, Pass
age of a worthless check OF higher
denomination is a felony and the
drawee may be extradited from an
other state for the offense.
Retail credit men estimate that bad
checks will be practically eliminated
when the law is given wider publicity.
They state the law protects the mer-
chant against the dishonest man be-
cause it allows seven days for the
check to be made good. The mer-
chant is also required to notify the
writer Of the check by letter to his
last known address.
Various estimates on the efficiency
of the law are made by Nashville
credit men. They say bad Checks
have been cut from 25 to so per cent
already.

NICKEL HOGS ARE, CALLED LIARS
BY OFFICIALS
The nickel hogs who own and run
the street car lines of Chicago are
nailed as liars by two public officials
in public statements
Under the facts and figures cited
by Chairman Eugene Block of the
council transportation committee and
Public Service Commissioner Mont
ague Ferry, these things stand out:
1t is lie that tracks are so crowd
ed that more cars can't be run.
It is lie that the companies would
run more cars if the tracks would
hold more cars.
It is a lie that the companies want
to put on more cars and help the
straphangers. 3.
/ It is a lie that nothing but SUBJ
way will stop right now the terrible
oVercrowding and Undecency now
seen on hundreds of cars during rush
hours.
Aid Block in his statement shows
that May %, 1914, his committee ask
ed the board of supervising engineers
to order the traction companies to
put on 305 new cars. With that many
cars there would be only about 20
passengers to a car during rush.

the supervising engineers board, May

body could ask. And it says that the
