l |OEW'S CALLS YOUR
 ATTENTION ID SEP. I2 DAY
Two AlI-Star Bills of Vaude.. vile and Two Superb Photoplays for the
 Week !

September 12-Thursday-is the day you will have to register, for Uncle Sam has said that all men over IS years of age and under 4e must go to the po1s and register on that date. I.oew's Bijou takes
 this means of calling your attention to this fact, for you might forget it, and ia view of the policy of the organization that has as it's main object to amuse American citzens-to do all it can to aid the government in it's work to '1ck the Huns'-your attention is called to
 your duty on this day.
 In the meantime, Loew's Bijou is of- fering a decidedly good bill of vande- vile this week, there being five an-star
 acts on each bill. composed of singing, dancing, acrobatic novelties, black face comedy. and musical stunts that will please every parton of this popu- lar vaudeville and motion picture house. The first half of the weeks vaudeville bill will be augmented by great pa- triotic film in which Peggy Hyland will |start, "Bonnie Annie Laurie,' the story of a Red Cross nurse who is true and H loyal to her country, though she is com pelled to send her soldier lover back to the trenches in France.
 The other photoplay is Boston
 Blackies Little Pal" celebrated crook
 play, in which the wonderful movie star, Bert Lytell, will be seen at his best.
 This is a cieverly conceived play, and
 the work of the star was never better
 than in this cast.
 Loew's vaudeville bill changes twice
 weekly, as well as the photoplay pro-
 gramme, and the entire bill is booked
 with view to snap. pep and action. The
 fnlI new orchestra vii be in this week. insuring standard music with each act,
 as well as with each photoplay.
 There is a million laughs, all kinds pt innocent and clean amusement at Loew s
 for everyone in Birmingham, and they
 are asked to go down to the matinee and get their share of the fun, and keep the family united-for the show is for all.

 Remember to slow or stop, then look and listen at important street inteisec- ticns and railway crossings. An automobile should always be kept tSunder control by use of tho throttle,
 instead of being driven so fast that brakes must be applied in stoppinY Y quickly.
 Failure to properly signal by cx- tending the arm from the car upon stopping or turning may result in a bad snash-up.
 Faulty brakes or loose steering gear may cause you to loose control of your car at a critical moment Ignorance of traffic regulations will l not relieve ycu of having to answer | to a big damage suit or possibly to | go to jail for careless or reckless driv- l ing.
 l ,Srowding other vehicles causes dent ed lenders and other serious mishaps, ! Slow moving vehicles should keep as near the right curb a S possible. Automobiles should not be left W ith motors running on the streets unless l a competent driver is in charge. I Fire wagons always have the right l of way. Give them plenty of room. l Every motorist should be careful aot ! to run by street cars while they are stopping to take on or let off passcn- gers.

American Sailors Spend
 Much Time at Free MoUie

An Irish Port August 23.-(Corre- spondence of the Associated BressO The thousands of American sailors sta waters have been forced to provide their own Entertainment to while away "liberty" hours in the small town.
 One of the chief features of the Mems club" is the theatre, which will seat about 1000 persons and where there is something going on free every night Aside from the moving picture plays all the entertainment is pro- duced by the sailors. Some of the scenery for the stage was obtained in London but some of it was produced right here at the base.
 The talent uncovered has resulted in brass band of 27 pieces. an or ohestra as large. an acrobat, several vocal soloists, a yodler, half dozen black k-face comedians, quartet. sev- eral piano players and enough good voices to stage minstrel show,
 Here is an average Saturday night programme. A one-reel comedy, seven concert selections by the band u four reel feature film, half a dozen songs by the quartet, the yodler and popular songs by "all hands" with the words thrown onto the picture screen.
 The last feature is what the sailors like the best as they all seem to want to get in the show. They put real en- thusiasm into songs about winning the war and getting" the German fleet, but when they sing something about home, the sunny south of a girl left behind they fairly raise the roof and sing the choruses over and over.
 They never tire of one feature all though they have participated in it scores of times. With the house dark for an instant, curtain showing the NeY York sky-line is dropped. As the first faint light dimly outlines the pie ture the orchestra starts to play New

JERSEY BREEDERS
10 REORGAN|zE IN
MAURY SATURDAY
RESTORATION OF. COUNT US
FAME AS BREEDING SECTION
Is OBJECT OF MEETING.
ONCE HELD HIGH STANDING
Middle Tennessee Experiment Sta
ton Offers Exceptional opportun-
lily for Tests and Experiments in
Feeding, Etc.

Restoration Of Maury county as the
premier Jersey cattle raising section
of America will be the purpose OF a
meeting of Jersey cattle breeders and
raisers that has been called for next
Saturday afternoon at O'Clock. The
establishment of the Middle Tennes
see Experiments in the development
of Jerseys, which will be taken ad
vantage of by the members of the
new organization. 1t is expected that
every owner of Jersey COW or bull,
and all who are interested in this
breed of cattle, will attend the meet
ing at which an organization will be
formed to revive the interest that ex-
listed in the days of the old Maury
County Breeders association
Organized development and main
tenance of Jersey breeding in Maury
county was abandoned few years
ago following the death of A. N. Akin,
the secretary of the association. Since
that time there has been no deterioa-
ton in the stock, but the cows have
not been kept up to their high stand
ard in tests, as a general proposition.
However, many breeders have main
tanned the old standard, and in al
most every instance the pure strain of
registered blood has been continued.
There was a time when Maury coun-
ty Jerseys were recognized as the
best in the land and it was from this
county that c. /. Hood, the famous
Massachusetts, Jersey BREEDER Sc
cured his foundation herd. The Jer-
seys in Maury county are descendants
of two worlds champion cows, Land
seer's Fancy and Bisson's Belle. Tests
of cows in this county have shown
records that are worthy to be boosted
of, and in justice to the efforts of the
early Jersey fanciers of Maury county
the industry should be revived.
With the Middle Tennessee Exper-
iment station and its authorization
and assistance from the United States
department of agriculture and the CO.
operation of the american Jersey
Breeders Club it will be possible for
Maury county to develop the best Jer-
seys in America and to again become
famous as producer of this breed o.
cattle.

OPPOSITION TO
METHODIST UNION
IS INCREASING
NEGRO QUESTION AND ELiMiNA-
TON TIME LIMIT ARE CHIEF
ISSUES OF ANTS.
CHANGES BEING CONSIDERED
CURLING Power of Bishops Gains I'm.
petus Plan Great Endowment
Fund to Pension Preachers and
Their Families.
(By United Press.)

ATLANTA, Ga, May S.-OppositioI
to the proposed plan Of unificatioI
and the abolition of the time limit is
growing among the clerical and lay
delegates attending the quadrennia
Southern Methodist Episcopal gen
eral conference in session here.
IF the two branches of Methodism
North and South, are united, it vii
sound the deathknel of Mcthodism-
because the North will dominate the
South and finally absorb its ideals
and institutions and abolish it's time
limit" declared StoneWall j. Brown
layman, of Millers School, Va, in a
pamphlet opposing unification.
Twelve or fifteen years ago the
North abolished it's time-limit, there
fore it isn't reasonable that they
should be willing to reinstate il
and the laymen of the South would
not be willing to abolish the time
limit without hard light, and this
would cause frictions and factions =
said Mr.. Brown.
Many of the church conference rep
resented at the conference have pre-
scented memorials urging unification,
as have messages from the Methodists
of China, Great Britain, Ireland and
Australia.
The one great obstacle to the uni
fication plan according to the COM
mission on unification which has re-
ported to the conference, is the ne
gro problem. The southern Methodists
want to keep the negro churches in
dependent. To this the northern
church refuses to agree, declaring
that the negro must be associated
with the general conference and have
representation.
The college of bishops in their
quadrennial address urged the con
ference to take some action that
might lead to unification or at least
cooperation between the two great
bodies of Methodism.
1T is still our earnest hope that a
way may be found for some plan of
cooperation among the Methodists of
America which shall, as far as pos
sible, eliminate wastage of men and
money in the territory in which both
churches have established them
selves said the bishops in their adj,
dress.
The movement to curb the exercise
of autOcratic powers of bishops is
also gaining impetus. Several me-
MORALS have been presented to pro.
tect the ciurch against ineficiency,
Observation-Disclosures or abuse of au-
thority on the part of bishops" They
are now being considered by proper
committees.
One of the most important plans
before the conference is the proposal
to raise a large endowment fund of
probably S14.OOO.OOO to pension super
animated preachers. widows and fam
lilies Of deceased ministers. Enthus-

FURNISHING WHEAT
SACKS BY M|LLERSn
MAY Be FORBIDDEN
POSSIBILITY THAT FOOD ADMIN
iSTRATiON WILL FURTHER
STABILIZE PRICES.
SACKS HIGH PRICE THIS YEAR
Nations Winter Wheat Crop Will be
Record Breaker, But Crop in Maury
County Not In Good Condition
Corn Acreage.

There is a probability that in order
to further stabilize the price of wheat
the Federal Food Administration will
forbid the giving or furnishing of
sacks to producers by the millers at
threshing time. This custom has al
ready been abandoned in the great
wheat growing sections of the middle
west and seems to be local custom
in Tennessee and a few other sec
tions.
Sacks have advanced enormously in
price since last year and will cost
this year about 80 cents each, so it
may be seen that by giving or fur,
nishing the sacks and paying the
fixed price for wheat the miller would
virtually be paying Is cents bushel
above the market price for the grain.
1t is not known what restrictions or
regulations the grain division of the
food administration will put upon this
practice, but the probability is that it
will be so regulated as not to affect
the price of wheat.
Government reports indicate that
the winter wheat crop of the country
as O whole will be the largest ever
produced. But conditions in Maury
county are not so favorable Early
in the spring the prospects were most
encouraging, but weather conditions
since that time have not been SO
favorable for growth and now it
seems that the yield may be some
what reduced
Corn also is backward, but there is
a large acreage and the stand general
ly is fairly good, The rain Tuesday
accompanied by warmer weather was
blessing to the farmers of Maury
county and both corn and wheat
should show vast improvement dur
ing the next 10 days Not until the
outlook of this years corn crop has
been pretty we'll established will
there be a full marketing of the sur
plus corn of last years crop. Thou
sands of bushels are still on the
farms, being held by the producers
for emergency in case this years
planting should not give prospects Of
a bountiful yield The advancement
of the planting season has already
caused a slight decline in the price
of corn

iastic support is being given this
proposition by both clergy and lay
delegates.
Other memorials before the confer
ence for action pertain to the follow
ing matters: Better support of the
colored Methodist Episcopal church,
creation of Episcopal districts, laity
rights for women, increased lay rep
resentation in annual conference,
limiting terms presiding elders, con-
corning support home missionaries
and minimum salary for ministers,
increased lay representation, better
support for retired laymen.
There is also memorial before the
conference asking that the use of to-
bacco by Methodist ministers be pro-
hibited and also that preachers be
restrained from using Language unbe-
coming a minister"
The conference will hold great pa
triotic mass meeting in the auditorium
next Saturday night, at which time
Secretary of the Navy Josephus Dan
iels will give the principal address.
Lord Earl Reading, the British Am
bassador is also expected to speak.
The conference will probably be in
session at least two more weeks as
it has important business to take up
for action. The many memorials are
now in committee and it will prob
ably be Friday before the house will
begin debate on the various measures.
Final action will not come for several
days later.

DOES IT PAY TO keep
GOOD MILK COWS--YE
MRS. NEWT. PICkARD, OF SANDY
HOOK, ANSWERS QUESTION
IN AFFIRMATIVE.

Since January LIST, 1918, up to and
including May 4th, Mrs. Newt Pick
ard, of Sandy Hook, has marketed in
Mt. Pleasant $3.50 of butter and
milk. Mrs Pickard has one Jersey
cow and one half Durham and Jersey
Neither of the cows would be consid
cred of the highest type of milk and
butter producers, but good average
mixers.
The question is often asked, does it
pay to keep a COW. IN this instance
it seems that it does, but whether it
pays to keep one in town is still a
debatable question. In tle country
where the COW can have plenty of
grass, and where there is plenty of
that would possibly go to
waste, but for old pidy. it does pay.
