Dimple, 60 2:1SA.
Hal Direct, 2:24A.
What an array of speed marvels,
sired when a two-year-oll. Flower
Direct needs no introduction. This
mare who conquered Directum l and
Frank Bogash in desperate battle,
and who with Ben Whitehead in the
bike, is one of the greatest race
mares the country ever saw, and one
OF calibre Of champions Mamie
Direct, and her pilot, George Walker,
make up pair that has set the
tracks on fire many a time and been
a sensation in the speed line. Dick
Direct swept straight through
the New England circuit with eight
tirsts and three seconds out of eleven
starts in 1914, and showed it was
easy for him to beat 2:10 a whole
lot. Ina Star, a splendid pacing
mare, and who, despite the leisure of
motherhood, demonstrated that she
is better than 2:10. Dimple and Hal
Direct make up the other two and
their marks are not their limits.
-Four two-tenners is string some
speed and for a two-year-old
Directs Star was horse of remark
able speed and has all the striking
characteristics that make his race
famed, speed, courage and looks.
The premier at Tolley Farm has
a distinguished family tree. He goes
straight back to Dictator and comes
from the sire line that has given US
Directum l. 1853; Ess-H-Kay, 2:O0%;
Braden Direct, 2:01R; Directum,
2:05A, and no end of fast ones.
Directs Stars dam was Stella Hal,
who was the mother of the famous
Twinkle, whose daughter, Sparkle
Watts, trotted to victory in the big
stakes for Ed Geers last year. His
blood on the dams side is rich in the
lines and animals that have made
this state famous.
The records Of five of these noted
performers were made prior to 1914,
and in that year Hal Direct was the
new corners.

NO HARD TINES
FOR Mr.. HASKELL
POPULAR MERCHANT DECLARES
BUSINESS PICKING UP
RAPIDLY.

1T certainly does seem like the
good old times have returned to
Maury county," said P. H. Haskell,
the proprietor of the well known
New York Store, this morning. Our
business Saturday and Monday was
exceptionally good, that of Monday
especially so. When mules are good
and trade in them is brisk we know
that prosperity has returned to this
favored section. Our sale commenc-
ed last week and 1t has been one Of
the best we have ever had, in fact,
l believe it will beat former records.
It proves also that Herald advertis-
ing pays and pays handsomely. You
can take 1t from me that hard times
in this section from now on will be
very largely imaginary"

FLOUR JUMPS TO
EIGHT DOLLARS
RISE IN PRICE OF STAFF OF LIFE
DUE TO JUMP IN ADVANCE
or WHEAT.

Flour was quoted this morning at
eight dollars per barrel by the mills
of Columbia. The rise in the price
was necessitated by the advance the
past few days of the quotations of
wheat.
The second grade is quoted at fifty
cents less, or $3.50 per barrel.
The advance will cause no surprise,
as it is generally known that the
price of wheat was going to force up
the quotations within a few days.

GREAT RECORD MADE BY COLTS OF
TOLLEY'S SPLENDID DIRECTS STAR
WONDERFUL STALLION ACHIEVE NOTABLE RECORD EVERY
COLT OF THE SIRE HAVING EARNED A REWARD-HIs
BREEDING COULD NO T IMPROVED UPON
By W. s. Williams, in Tennessean

By W. s. Williams, in Tennessean
Directs Star, a 100 per cent
SIRE" is the distinction that has
come to the noted pacing stallion at
the head of the nursery of PAGERS in
Maury county. Tolley Farms, own
ed by William M. Tolley, of Co
lumbia, Tennessee. Every colt
begotten by this stallion in the Sec
ond year of his life on this mundane
sphere which has been trained has
earned a reward. 1t is unapproached
in breeding the light harness horse,
and scores another notable achieve
ment for the horses of the Volunteer
state. Directs Star represents the
golden cross Of the harness horse
world, commingling of the Hal
blood of Tennessee with the stout,
game and marvelously fast blood of
old Dictator Direct Star, who
achieves this 100 per cent designa-
tion, is son of Direct 2:051S, and
Stella Hal, daughter of Tom Hal,
the foundation Of the first two min
ute harness horses. This horse re-
presents what the years of Ed
Geers experience taught him, that
like begets like, or the likeness of
some ancestor. Geers knows more
than any one, the kind of blood re-
quired to produce the race winners,
and for his patron, Joseph r. Smith,
he was responsible for this sterling
sire Of winners.
When a two-year-old he was mated
with ten mares, ten foals resulted
and six have been trained and every
one has record-that looks like
breeding the good ones to order.
Fifty per cent is a remarkable show
ing, but 100 per cent is wonderful.
When the high class Of Directs
Stars first progeny is considered an.
other laurel will have to be hung on
the stable door at Tolley Farm in
the bluegrass land of Maury. Here
is the list Of performers which this
sire begot as a two-year-old and it
can't be matched.

GENERAL OPTIMISM
P[RVADES BUSINESS
AS RESULT MONDAY
AT LEAST $4,000 BROUGHT IN
CITY AND COUNTY FROM
MULE SALES.
ABOUT 400 CHANGED HANDS
The Large Percentage of Those on
the Streets Were Sold, and But
Very Few Were Taken Home-Gen.
Prosperity Is Now in the Saddle

The financial tide turned in Maury
county Monday.
When the banks, the stores, and
the other places of business in the
city closed Monday night, there was
hopefulness that has not existed here
for several months. Old Care was
driven from the faces of the mer-
chants and they beamed when they
looked at their books before closing
up. Business men had Monday the
first visible manifestation of good
times and old Gen. Prosperity about
which they have heard and read so
much.
There is no doubt that the revival
of the mule market Monday gave q
feeling of confidence to everybody.
The estimates of the number of mules
which were bought her Monday vary
greatly, but after boiling them down
and striking medium between them,
it seems that fair estimate would
be four hundred mules which chang
ed hands. The average price for
them was at least $3.50. This means
that about 100000 was brought into
this county Monday by Southern buy
ers. This is more than has been paid
for mules here since last year.
There were not nearly so many
sold South as there were one year
ago. Probably twice as many went
to the cotton and sugar planters then.
But on the other hand, many farmers,
thinking that the price would not be
at all satisfactory, the weather bad,
and few buyers on hand, did not bring
in their stock to sell it. The greater
portion of the mules that were
brought here changed hands. There
was not a large percentage of them
which went back to their homes Mon
day night.
The heaviest selling was early
Monday morning. The farmers were
not wise to the fact that the buyers
were going to pay better prices and
SO priced their mules but little above
what they asked month ago. Cen
orally, when they did, the buyers
simply wrote out checks for the stock
and sent the mules on to the stock
yards to be shipped. Later in the day,
the news of the higher prices circu-
lated all over the city, and there was
decidedly upward trend in prices.
The largest number of mules sold
were for the war. They averaged
about $3.50 to $40 per head. Some
sold for more, some sold for less than
this. The sugar mules were not SO
numerous, but they were in active de-
manr. The average price for them
was in the neighborhood Of 500.
Some pairs brought more than this
figure, but they were the exception.
