Team Defeated knights of
Columbus Despite Late Rally.

Altho the Ideal Bakery team sue
ceeded in defeating Tommy Brennan's
Knights of Columbus Sunday after
no cinch doing it. Stoddard, the new
knights of Columbus twirler, worked
the last six innings and allowed only
one scratch hit, the game having been
lost when he went to the box. In the
opinion of many, he made a remark
able showing and his work was the
feature of the game.
The Ideals got busy making runs at
the start. They opened their score
board with one in the first frame and
made their other five in the third,
after which Neville was relieved by
Stoddard. The Knights did not count
until the last inning, when Seitz be-
gan to weaken after a long grind. Five
runs were put over in this inning and
there were two men on bases, but
with two outs, a sensational catch by
Reed. Ideal left fielder. ended the sus-

WHITE SOX IN A HOLE
Red Sox Are Looming More Danger
Gus Every Day, Now.

New York, Aug 13.-There is no
va lid reason to believe the White Sox
will be able to increase their leader
ship of the American league soon. On
the contrary, there is every excuse to
suspect that right now is the time
when the Red SoX may again mount
the pinnacle. altho the schedule points
to an early re-ascendency by Row
lands men,
With one victory fretted out of the
Indians, the White SoX still have
three days of baseball in Cleveland,
today During this time the
Boston champions will be engaging
the Athletics for the same number of
days.
Engaging the Athletics has ceased
to be the merry task it was some time
ago, but there is plenty of evidence
on which to base a claim that the Ath-
letics do not look ripe to take many
victories from the champions.

RIVER BEND FARM
SOLD AT ADVANCE
THREE HUNDRED ACRES ON THE
IRON BRIDGE ROAD BRINGS
OVER $4,000.

DR.. w. A. Curtis has sold his farm
Of 3221s acres on the Iron Bridge
pike, known as River Bend Farm" to
his son, w. A. Curtis, Jr., for the
handsome sum of $35,75O, or $110.S5
ger acre.
DR.. Curtis bought this farm about
i've years ago from Mrs. Lucinda Han,
way, for which he paid $4,000 cash
The present sale is double the price
aid five years ago. There is possibly
not another farm in all of Maury coun-
y that has made such phenomenal
.dyance in value as has this piece OF
property.
DR.. Curtis came to Maury county
i've years ago from Minnesota and
bought this farm and has made some
yonderful Improvements, both in the
and and on the buildings.
Young Curtis, in taking over the
farm, also purchased all of the live
stock, farm implements, etc. Mr., Cur.
It's has one of the best herds of beef
attic in the county and is breeder
of registered Shorthorns.
DR.. Curtis, in retiring from the farm.
ing business, stated that he would
possibly spend his winters in Florida,
returning to Columbia in the late
spring and spend the summers with
his son on the farm.
At one time this same farm was
owned by Dr. Robert Pillow, who sold
it for about $500 This is just an.
other evidence of the steadily enhanc.
ing in value of Maury county land.
Mr.. Curtis has a fine corn crop on
the place this year, and also splen-
did grass. He will SOW portion of
the farm this fall to wheat and clover.

BIG ADVANCES MUST
Be PAID FOR FALL
FARM IMPLEMENTS
ANOTHER INCREASE MADE IN
PRICES OF ALL SORTS OF
MACHINERY.
WHEAT DRILLS TO CONE High
Everything That Enters Into Making
OF Machinery Now Has Advanced
Farmers Must Share Part of Their
Increased Earnings.

Farmers are going to be hard hit
when they come to buy new farm i'm
plements this fall and next spring.
Their dollar and two-dollar corn and
their twodollar wheat, fifteen-cent
hogs and eighteen-cent lambs will not
all be profit, not by whole lot. They
must share considerable part of this
additional income with the makers of
the machinery with which they are
going to till the soil.
For example the wheat drills that
are purchased this fall are going to
cost them fifty per cent more than
they did two years ago. Sixty-five
dollars was about the standard price
for the ordinary wheat drill In the fall
of 1915. The same drill Is going to
cost upward of 500 this fall. That is
just sample OF the advances that
have been made. Everything else
will be proportionately advanced.
Wagons will cost more and so will
silo cutters and knives and blades and
axes. Timber and iron and steel and
the labor involved in the making of
all kinds of tools have advanced and
necessarily there has been the biggest
kind Of an advance on the finished
product.
One of the veteran hardware dealers
Of the city stated today that he had
purchased recently car load of corn
cultivators that would cost him from
five to seven dollars more than he
sold them for in the early part of the
year. However, with bumper corn
crop and plenty of all sorts Of food
products grown in the county at prices
that from present indications will
more than keep pace with the ad-
vance in farm machinery the farmers
will be better able to pay the top
prices than they were to buy at lower
prices when they could hardly sell
what they grew at fair price.

ERNEST TAYLOR IS
The SHEEP KING
OF MAURY COUNTY
CLEARS OVER $500 IN LESS THAN
SIX MONTHS ON FLOCK OF
$40 SHEEP.
SELLS FOR $4,000 Per PAIR
Bought First Lot In February, Second
Lot in April at an Average of $500
Per Pair-Had Unusual Luck From
Disease and Dogs.

Ernest Taylor will have to be hand.
ed the blue ribbon when it comes to
handling sheep. Mr.. Taylor Is posi-.
bly, one OF the best stock traders and
feeders in the county. Last February
he contracted for a bunch of sheep,
and in April he bought another
bunch. There were in the two lots
OF sheep four hundred and twenty
pairs, for which he paid $500 a pair
or total Of $3.50. Last month he
delivered portion of the sheep to
Cane, Rogers G Stevens, of Kentucky,
at $4,000 a pair. He delivered the
remainder Of the eight, hundred and
forty head to the same parties last
week at the same figures, $4,000 per
pair, making a total Of $8,400.
Mr.. Taylor has cleared on this
bunch Of sheep in less than six
months time over $500, figuring the
the interest on his money and what
little feed bill he was out in the
months Of February and March. The
actual profit is nearer $4,000 than
$4,000, to say nothing of the value that
he has received from the manure.
Mr.. Taylor has been extremely, for
tunate in the handling Of the bunch
Of sheep. Not once did the dogs get
in the flock. and he lost only four or
five from disease. Mr.. Taylor says
that there is more clear money in
sheep than any other kind of live
stock that can be raised on the farms
of this country.

BIG MATCH RACE
ON AT MEMPHIS

Big match race has been arranged
to take place in Memphis next Satur-
day between Finnis ]. Garrett, 2:10A,
owned by julius Goodman, and Court
ney, Jr., by Fred s. Wilkes, 2:11h,
a green horse, bought from Hon. w.
H. Long, of Mt. Pleasant, for Abe Fl,
Frank by Will Webster. This race
will draw quite a crowd in Memphis,
as it has been agitated by the horse
men for several weeks past.
Finnis J. Garrett won almost all his
races last year and has this year been
mile in 2:07 over mile-track and
one in 209b over a half-mlie track.
AS he is thoroughly seasoned cam
paigner, with racing experience. he
will have every advantage of Court
ney, Jr., who must necessarily have
more speed in order to Offset the edu-
cation that racing has given the other
horse. But with such a shrewd horse
man as Abe H. Frank manipulating
the deal and reins, we cannot call it
a foregone conclusion that Finnis J.
Garrett will win.
1t is understood that several race
enthusiasts from Columbia and Mt.
Pleasant and other sections Of the
county. will go to Memphis to be pres
ent at this race. Possibly Hon. W. H.
Long and w. J. Webster. Jr.. will be-
among the party.
