Mr., Mrs, Miss or Master American
Citizen, have you % cents?
II so, Uncle Sam wants you to lend it
to him TO help whip the Huns.
That is the meaning Of one Of the
most gigantic financial plans In the
world which will be launched on
December 3, and extend over a year.
The government has raised huge
quantities Of money in two Liberty
Loans. which appealed TO every citizen
who had $50 or 500 or more to spare.
The campaign TO sell war savings
certificates is designed TO raise $1,000,
100000 from people who did not feel
they could afford $50 at a time. and
yet are anxious to prove their Ameri-
canlsm.
The method Is simple; on and aftel

One of the most enjoyable features
of the day was the delicious picnic

AT HOME OF MRS. r. /. VAUGHAN
ON WEST SEVENTH STREET.
MANY THINGS CANNED.

In view of the inclement weather,
together with conveniences offered by
our friends, we think it best to an
nounce the demonstration to be given
on next Thursday, July 26, by Miss
Turner of the State University. 1t
will be given at the home of Mrs. R.
Lee Vaughan, on West Seventh street.
Miss Turner will demonstrate special
packs of canned fruits and discuss
jelly making, in the forenoon from IL
till II. In the afternoon she will give
in canning all kinds of
vegetables. Any ladies who have
something special of which they are
anxious to have canned bring their
jars and vegetables and the canned
products will of course be theirs, but
we cannot use very large amount of
any one vegetable. We wish to take
this opportunity to thank Mrs
Vaughan for her kindness in Offering
her home for demonstration.

could not muster the courage to make
a real fight.
One of the warmest of the speech
es made against the resolution was
that of r. s. Cotton, a country mem
Der of the court, who declared that he
was reioiced that he could celebrate
his seventy-ninth birthday today by
casting a vote against the proposed
measure. He denounced the effort to
make the appropriation.
Squire Cotton referred to Maury
county wanting the station and said
that so far as he was concerned Maury
county was welcome to it; that Maury
could issue bonds and bond herself
into hell" if she wanted to and he
would not object.
Squire Stockard also woke the
echoes in a speech that he made
against the measure. He was very
emphatic in his opposition. as were
one or two others who spoke.
The roll was then called and only
sixteen voted for the measure, al
though just week ago thirty-four
had signed their names to written
pledge that they would make the ap-
preparation.
So strong was the opposition once
the members had reversed themselves
that they even refused to submit the
question to q vote Of the pople of the
county. a..... i..tIsssAIA

BY WALTER D. HASTINGS
(Staff Correspondent


FRANKLIN, Tenn, July 24.-Re-
versing pledge signed by largely
more than majority of the members,
the county quarterly court OF VIII
Hanson county today by vote OF
thirty-one to sixteen declined to make
an appropriation to secure the Middle
Tennessee Experiment station. The
vote came at the close of several We
hement speeches, most of them
against the measure.
This eliminates Williamson county,
on whom the governor has twice wait
ed. from the running in the location
OF the experiment station for Middle
Tennessee. 1t is not believed that
the governor and commissioner VIII
use Williamson county again as an
excuse for deferring the location OF
me station, as even the friends OF the
station here concede that the move
ment is dead.
The resolution making the appro-
priation for the station was read by
Former Assistant Attorney General
Walter W. Faw and the fireworks
were turned loose. The opponents of
the appropriation did the most of the
talking. They scented victory and
the progressives never seemed to raj
ly; they realized that the station was
slipping through their grasp and they
