MORE TEACHERS FOR
HIGH SCHOOL NEEDED
DECLARE S INSPECTOR
OTHERWISE INSTITUTION is ONE
OF THE GREATEST IN
COUNTRY.
PLANT is LOUAL 10 TIL BEST
Prof w. r. Bourne Spends Day At
Local institution And is Delighted
With the Work Being Done-Enthu-
siastic Over Laboratory.

q am certainly delighted with the
magnificent plant which the city and
County High school now has," de-
clared Prof w. r. Bourne, state high
school inspector on Friday afternoon.
Prof. Bourne had just spent the entire
day inspecting the high school build
ing, the laboratory and witnessing the
work of the institution.
Continuing, Prof. Bourne said:
There is no better plant than you
have in Columbia anywhere in the
state. The building is all that one
could ask. And | am enthusiastic
over the laboratory, it is equal to
every demand, and doubt If there is
a better one in the state, certainly
none superior in a public institution.
Il am pleased with the work that is
being done in the school, the spirit
manifested by the pupils, the loyalty
and devotion of the splendid corps of
teachers.
"In one respect, however, the school
fails to measure up to the highest
standard. The teachers are over bur-
dened; in other words, your teaching
force is not large enough for the
school. There should be more teach
ers. The need is imperative and l
am glad to say that it is recognized
by Superintendent Harris.
"The school is a great credit to this
community and it is doing a magnifi-
cent work; the discipline apparently
is all that one could ask. Your peo-
pie have just cause to be proud of
this County High school and it is de-
serving of the fullest measure of sup
port"
Prof. Bourne has been a frequent
visitor to Maury county, but this was
his first inspection of the new High
school building.

Cut Your Store Bill
Down One Half

Tens of thousands of farmers as well as
n and city folks cut down their store
one-half last year and saved money
ia spite of generally short crops and re-
duced wages.
Absolutely millions of dollars were
saved and countless families lived better
Than ever before in the face of the cotton
crisis and general business depression.
How we're these burdensome store bills
rut down? BY the real moncy-saying

planted and kept planted and tended

ly That They Remain at Home From
to 4 O'clock Next Sunday.

Plans were all perfected for taking
the religious census at a meeting OF
the district superintendent who will
be in charge, held on Sunday after
noon at 2 o'clock at the Garden Street

lend a small measure of cooperation
the work will be satisfactorily done
The enumerators will all work stimuli

The pastors approaching the impor

facilitate the work of the enunerators
and make more certain correct emu
meration.

Also Be Between Five And Nine Years
OF Age; r. r. Moore G. Son Have
Bought Several and are After a Lot
of Kind Wanted.

Although the British and French
governments have stopped the. pur-
chase of war mules in this country,
for the present anyway, the British
government is buying horses and
mares. R. F. Moore & Son, the big
mule men of this city, are buying all
of the horses and mares of the county,
that they can get Of the kind and
quality desired. However, no farmer
need expect fancy price for his nag,
because the limit placed upon the
price is low, very low to the eyes Of
the average Maury countian.
But the placing of this contract
here does offer a market for surplus
horses Of a certain class and there
arc always a number of them in the
county, In order to sell horses for
this purpose they must weigh not
Jess than 1000 pounds and above that
weight is desired. They must be from
i've to nine years of age and while
either mares or horses will be taken
the latter are preferred and will bring
the best money.
The fact that horse is branded or
that it is not well broken does not
affect the sale, because the govern
1ment is not looking for fancy or high
priced animals, but those that will
pull guns or carry the cavalry. They
are all in the end doomed to die on
the field OF battle so that no more
than is necessary is being paid for
them.
Messrs. Moore & Son have pur-
chased quite number in the county
but nothing like what they want.

 The matter of boys and girls club work was discussed at length. Direc- tor White and other members of the committee will look up to the local situation and if there seems to be a local demand for this work the Farm Bureau will be asked to cooperate.
 As the poultry program the mem bers of the committee wish to hold a demonstration of selecting high pro- dllcing layers at once. Tit is possible to get proper demonstrators this will be done and the records of the pro- dtctivity of the birds selected will be nlaintained during the year. If it is impossible to conduct this demonstra- ton in January it will be deferred until early fall, when it will be con ducted along the lines herewith out lined.
 The members of the committee pre- sent were as follows: Director B. F. White, James Cummings, Morris An derson, Chas. Anderson, J. Ebert Anr derson. and Chas. A. Lewis. 7
