LACK OF DECISION.

y Apparently the Wilson administra-
ton is incapable OF dealing with the
Mexican situation in firm and reso-
lutte manner. Officials appear to be
unable to understand that policy OF
femporizing, of appeals to the princi-
pies of international law, of highs
sounding phrases about the love and
affection that the Americans have for
the Mexicans, not only will not settle
the issue in Mexico but actually com.
zpiicates it.
We have for FIVE years pursued q
policy that not only has not yielded
any results but has made bad mat
tiers worse. Conditions in Mexico are
decidedly worse now than they were
when Wilson became president and
inaugurated his policy Of "watchful
waiting" The president unfortunate
~ has not been consistent even in the
pursuit of that may and indistinct
policy. The Vera Cruz affair Is about
the most inexplicable chapter in Amer
Acan history. The Herald would not
mind giving 9 substantial reward to
anyone who could furnish any satisfac-
tory reason for the proceeding at Vera
sCrus or point to q single good result
mat followed.
The Mexicans believe that they can
DEFY the United States. They sincere
~ believe that they can treat the
4roperty, the lives and the flag Of
Americans as they please. Who is re-
apcnsible for this feeiing7 Our iaek

TWENTY THOUSAND
NUMBER Of LAMBS
SHIPPED IN MAURY
HAVE AVERAGED MORE THAN
SEVEN DOLLARS TO THE
FARMERS.
BEST SEASON EVER EXPERIENCED
Wool And Lamb Returns Have Been
About Nine Dollars Per Sheep
Quality of Lambs Best in Thirty
five Years, Says N. {. Allen.

Lamb shipments from Maury county
are practically over for this season.
There have been shipped from the
county approximately 10000 lambs.
This is careful estimate made by M.
e. Allen, who is just closing his thirty
fifth season as a buyer and shipper of
lambs. Mr.. Allen estimates that the
lambs shipped from this county have
averaged more than $725 each to the
farmers, making the total receipts
$145,OOO.
This Is the highest average ever
received by the farmers of Maury
county for lambs. 1t is full two cents
higher than any previous average, and
while the number of lambs shipped
from the county has been greatly ex-
ceeded in many seasons of the past,
in not single season were the profits
to the growers as large.
It is estimated that the wool returns
to the farmers of the county from
sheep were not less than $4,000, max
ing the total returns from sheep and
lambs about $1S5,O0O for the season.
This money was divided among COM
paratively small number for the great
majority of the farmers of this county
do not grow sheep
Not only were the prices received
for the lambs in the county the best
ever known, but the quality Of the
lambs has never in any season been
equalled To illustrate this, Mr.. Allen
shipped from the Cross Bridges and
Cathey's Creek section of the county
1,001 lambs and there was not single
Gull in the whole consignment, some
thing that he never experienced before
in all his thirty-five years as a trader.
In his thirty-five years as a buyer,
Mr.. Allen has never paid as high for
lambs as he did this year. The aver
age price paid by him will be close to
ten cents per pound. The great ma
jority were bought at that figure, prob
ably a few culls at seven or eight
cents and some contract lambs at nine
cents, but as high as ten and half
cents were paid for some. Mr.. Allen
has paid in his thirty-fve years a wide
range of prices, having bought lambs
as low as two and one-half cents per
pound. He said today that the largest
SUM that he ever lost on a load of
ambs was one that he purchased at
'our cents.

FOR ABOUT TEN DAYS
EXPECTED THAT IT WILL BE THE
END OF NEXT WEEK BE-
FORE FINISH.
Effort To Minimize Number Of, Errors
IN the Tax Book-Aggregate VIII
Not be Very Materially Changed
Assessor Cowley.

Members Of the county board Of
equalization will not be able to com
plete their labors this week as they
had hoped and expected. They have
found that it required more time than
they had thought to go over every
separate item of the assessment roll
and either correct or let it stand.
The board has still three districts
Of the county to complete. They are
the Fourth, the Fifth and the Tenth.
They will require about two days to
the district.
While it is not expected that there
will be any material change in the ag-
gregate of the assessments of the
county as the result of the boards
work, many errors that have been
made in the past will be avoided and
the tax book will probably be more
nearly correct than it has ever been.
The board has been receiving the
valuable assistance of Tax Assessor
Ben Cowley, who stated today that
while he would be mighty glad to be
out in the county meeting his friends
and making a campaign. that he felt
that he should look after the interests
Of the public first and would therefore
remain with the board until its work
was finished.
The assessment made now will
stand for the next two years, hence it
is important that every possible pre-
caution should be taken to prevent
errors.

they would survive they must fight fOr

they would survive they must fight for
existence.
Unless we are willing, in time Of
need and at its call, to fight for our
country we are unworthy to enjoy the
blessings of peace and liberty which
1t has given us. The doctrine Of
peace is good enough, but that of non
resistance, If pursued to its logical
end, will put us on a par with China.
Surely the patriotic sons of Tennes-
nesse and of the other states of this
glorious Union, the heirs of great
heritage, would not willingly allow this
nation to sink to that low level.
There are times in the lives Of some
individuals when death is to be pre-
ferred to dishonor. There comes a
time in the life of every uation when
war is much to be preferred to peace,
purchased at the price of national dis
honor and cowardly surrender of all
those great principles for which our
forefathers sacrificed so much.
At this time the nation calls to its
young men. They should be encour-
aged and not discouraged to enlist.
The youth of Maury county who have
signified willingness and readiness
to go have proven the very highest
type Of patriotism. They have shown
devotion to their country and an ap-
probation of their obligations to it
that deserve the very highest praise.
No good citizen should throw any OBJ
stacle in the way Of their making the
sacrifice which they have offered upon
the altar of their common country.
On the contrary they should be given
that praise, that sympathy and that
cooperation which they so rishly de-
serve. All honor to the young men Of
Maury county WHO would sustain les
splendid traditions IN this the hour of
their nations cali

DOCTRINE OF PEACE.

Nearly every state, summoned to
mobilize Its national guard, is having
trouble in recruiting the units up to
war footing. Recruiting is very slow
in Tennessee, much slower than it has
ever been in the past. 1t is seemingly
going to be very difficult matter to
get q volunteer army of creditable size
in the state. In Nashville the mayor
and commercial bodies are appealing
for recruits. The Chattanooga Times
voices disappointment at the efforts in
that section. In Maury county we
have not been able in a weeks time
to find company of young men of
military age who are willing and ready
to serve their country in its hour Of
need.
Peace is fine thing, but 1t is prob
able that our country has been enjoy
ing too long a period Of peace and
prosperity. We have been living easy.
Our young men are not looking for
the tolls and hardships and privations
and mayhap dangers Of the soldiers
life. We have preached and written
and taught peace until We have all
but crushed the patriotic impulse to
serve ones country in war No one
can deny the horrors Of var nor the
beauties Of peace A the same time,

THE sAoRTHoRN SALE.


No event more gratifying to the for
ward looking farmers OF this county
has occurred in recent years than the
successful Shorthorn sale here on
Wednesday. Twenty-three head Of the
finest specimens OF the breed scattered
among the progressive farmers of this
county will mean very much for the
future welfare Of our great live stock
interests. The Herald urged the i'm
portance of this sale, its value to the
farmers, the great opportunity given
them to acquire at their own prices
the best types of the historic beet
- breed of the British isles. The success
of the sale proves again that The Her
AIDS oft expressed confidence in the
good judgment, patriotism and pro-
gressiveness of the farmers of Maury
county was altogether justified.
There is no reason why Maury coun-
ty should not be the home Of some Of
the choicest and largest herds of pure
bred beef cattle in the United States.
There is no reason why people who
want the best in individuals and blood
lines OF the pure bred breeds should
have to cross the Ohio or the Missis-
aippi rivers to find them. We have In
this county everything essential to the
breeding and developing Of cattle. Our
climate 10 far superior to that Of the
sections where the farmers are reaping
rich rewards as the result of their
efforts for the development Of beef
cattle par excellence. Our winters
are hardly half so long as those with
which they must contend. We have
grass, the first requisite Of a cattle
country and abundance Of good water
and feed is produced at the minimum
of cost.
Even If one is not going to engage
IN the production of pure bred herd,
but expects merely to raise and de-
velop steers, the purchase Of splen-
did, pre-potent sire is the first and
most important essential to- success.
No phiIanthropist could do Maury
county farmers greater service than
the purchase and elimination of all the
scrub bulls of the county and substi-
.tute for them of splendid individuals
with the blood of the best of their
breeds in their veins.
Not only will the production of a
better grade of beef cattle prove prof
liable to the farmers of this county in !
O material way, but it will give them
o broader and better view Of life. |
The farmer who takes pride in his
herd, who loves the outstanding, noble |
specimen of whatever breed he may
fancy, who puts his personality in his
work is by reason thereof a better
citizen. He will lend himself more
earnestly and more enthusiastically to
other endeavors that mean much for
the progress and development of his
country. There is pleasure in doing
creative work, in building with ones
own hands, developing with ones own
brains, structure, whatever it may
be, that does not and can never be the /
portion of the man who is always will |,
hing to be a follower The presence
IN Maury county of hundred herds {
of pure bred beef cattle, with a result
ant generous rivalry among the breed
ers, would mean better schools, better
roads, better community spirit as well |
as a vast increase in the land and
stock values Of the county.

Delightful,
THEME FOR
METRO PLAY

Dreaming of her ideal, a man
wearing "A shirt, whom she in
fancy calls Mister A." a pretty
girl in a shirt factory scribbles a
note on a shirt. In due time a
real fellow gets it, and, interested,
writes a note to the girl asking
her If he can be of any help to
her.
She gets it Just as she is dis
charged from the factory for re-
Jecting the attentions of the fore
man. She wires Mister "A" that
she's coming, and starts before a
message from him intending to
head her off can be delivered.
This unusual situation forms
the groundwork for a series of
equally unique developments in
"Mister A." the romantic Metro
photoplay which comes to the
Apollo Wednesday for four days.
The little girl from the shirt
factory finds herself in strange
situation, and adventures pile on
one another until the final out
come.

play of the pale-hosed machine
