FEEDING NATION AND Al
LIES IN EUROPE.

Most of the Maury county delega-
ton to the Middle Tennessee Farmers
Institute, which convened in Nashville
Wednesday morning, left yesterday
and others will go this afternoon and
tonight. Transportation was issued
by the railroads for more than 100
delegates from this county and it is
likely most of them will attend. The
program planned for the convention
is one that will include all phases of
the farmers relation to the war and
how he may help his nation in the
the great task of feeding the soldiers
and allies. The woman's department
of the institute will discuss food con-
servatior and other phases of home
economics. 1t is probable that the
next convention of the institute will
be held in Columbia if the experiment
station has been located and put in
operation by that time. More than
5000 delegates attend the convention
every year.

time to the buying and selling of
sheep and to the cultivation of large
crops on their splendid plantations,

IN POLITICS.
1920 RECORDED NAMES
First Time In Ten Years That The
Registration Has Not Been Held
Throughout CouRty-City Election
In October.

Complete reports from the biennial
registration in Maury county give a
total of 1920 in the three districts in
which registration is now required.
This is an exceedingly light registra.
ton for these districts, but supple
mental registrations preceding cleo
tons will likely bring the number to
its normal strength.
For the past ten years or more vot'
ers in every district have been re-
quired to register, but by an act of
the last legislature the requirement
was removed from all districts but
the Ninth, Seventh and Third
The registration by districts was:
Ninth Observation-Disclosures, Court
House, 673; depot, 253.
Seventh-Mt. Pleasant, 265; Sandy
Hook, 20.
Thanksgiving Hill, 1909; Kedron
81; Rally Hill, 60; Neapolis, So.
This light registration is taken by
some observers as an indication of the
lack of interest on the part OF the
people in politics this year. A city

Only seven cases OF malaria, six

for 1916 in the public health service

English army will take place Friday
in Nashville. Moore & Son are ship
ping out today 100 head of mules to
Nashville; hereafter the inspection
will be held in Columbia this inspec-
ton is taking place in Nashville from
the fact that the dates had all been
arranged and announcements made
that it would take place there.
J. c. Moore, the junior member Of
the firm of Moore & Son, will have
charge of the army contracts and will
spend the most of his time at the
Stock Yards. Mr.. Moore is capable
mule man and thoroughly understands
the class of mule wanted for war pur-
poses. He understands how to in
struct his buyers, and on the contracts
recently completed with the United
States government, there were very
few rejects left upon his hands.
Mr.. Moore stated that all of the
employees of the Columbia Stock
Yards would be retained by the new
management and that the business
would be carried on just as it had
heretofore been handled
This will be splendid opportunity
for the farmers of Maury and adioin-
ing counties to dispose of their sur
plus mules and horses, and at time
when they can get good prices for
them and save a long and expensive
feed bill during the winter months.
Vast quantities of hay, corn and oats
will be consumed by these animals;
and Moore & Son will be in the mar
ket all the time for all kinds of feed.
During the corral of the English
army mules and horses here last year.
thousands and thousands of tons Of
feed of all kinds were consumed by
these animals, and all of the surplus
hay and corn and oats were sold to
the English. The same will be the
case this fall and winter. Conse-
quently corn will be at a good price
regardless of what the market is.

While here Mr.. Harrington made a
deal with Moore & Son whereby
Moore & Son take over the mule bust
ness of the Columbia Stock Yards and
have complete control of the mule
pens of this enormous plant. This
will give Moore & Son capacity for
feeding more than one thousand mules
per day, and with their feeding~facili
ties to feed this many, and with their
other connection over the county, they
are prepared to handle more mules
than they have ever before handled.
/ In the deal with Mr.. Harrington
they also get contract for furnish
ing 200 mules per week to the English
Governme mt for war purposes. This
contract is one of the largest tina
