BIC HERDS CONE
World War Wastes Europe's
 Meat Supply.
American Stock Raisers Co-operat, With Food Administration In Con-
 servation Measures.

It Is probable that Europe for many years after the war will look to a great extent to America for its meat supply.
 Europe's herds are dwindling under wars demands faster than they can be replenlshed.
 When the German armies retired from occupied portions of France and Belgium approximately 1,SO0,0OO head of cattle were appropriated. This ad- dition virtually safeguarded Germany from cattle shortage other nations now suffer
 In England some 2,400,0O0 acres of grass lands have by compulsory meas ures been forced into grain production, thus reducing pasturase and hay lands A declining scale of maximum meat prices for live cattle was ordained In England, as follows: For September, S17.76 per hundred pounds; October, SIPS; November and December, $1609, and for January, S14.40. The evident intent of this measure was to drive the beef animals Into market as soon as possible.
 According to official French figures, the cattle of France have decreased to total ef 12.@41 a00 as compared with 14,s07, GOO In 1918. Today, due to lack of ferasa principally. France is pro dUeing only one =aiIeH of milk where before the war tWe and one=half sai= ials Were produced

 Men are seldom more innocently em- ployed than when they are honestly making money.
 The value of dollar is to buy just things. 4 dollar goes on increasing in value with all the genius and all the virtue of the world A dollar in q university is worth more than dollar in fail; in some industry in tenn peratp. law abiding community than in some distant mine. oil well or prob lematical fruit farm in distant terri tory

Effect on Military Situation.

American sugar stocks could be fill ed to normal very soon if ships could Ge sent to Java, where 25o.ouo tons of sugar Is waiting for shipment. But .he shipping situation K 50 acute that fhe nation cannon spare the eleven ships needed to transport this sugar t would take the boats one year to haul 25o ooO tons In the same time hey could be used for transporting 2oO 00o soldiers to France.
 The food administration believes 1hnt the American public will diminish Us sugar consumption by 10 or 15 per cent. when il is made clear that such sugar saving iS p%triotic act and when 1t is understood that there are plenty of sweetenerS available to take he place of sugar such as honey or corn syrup.

Cash Versus Credit Business.

All that hAS been said is predicated on the theory that the farmer wants to do cash business He can do no other i<ind of business with the mail order houses,
 any man who accepts common de eeney as a standard will tel hlm that he has no right to send his cash to the biz cities and ask for credit at the small lDcal store
 That k not business. While such q practice is not forbidden by statute law. it is nevertheless immoral. unjust mean. No fair minded man would have the eonsummate mpudence to at tempt q defense of such conduct
 Entitled to Cash Business.
 If the local dealer is good enough 10 deserve the credit trade of his com munity he is entitled to the cash busi- ness as well. If he k not honest enough to entitIe him to the patronage of the cash customer he will take ad- vantage of the credit customer.
 But if you deal honestly and fairly with him by giving him both your cash and credE trade the chances are that he will deal fairly by you.

Sugar control has saved the Amer ican public S1SO, 1000 0OO, Herbert Hoov- CT. United States food administrator, declared the other day.
 He pointed out that sugar was sell ing for Il cents pound last August and that 1t would have advanced To 2O cents a pound. with the world slort- age as stimulus, had not the food administration secured the co-opera- ton of the refiners and wholesalers and fixed sugar price that today en- ables housewives 10 buy sugar at from s12 to 9 cents a pound.
 Every cent raise In sugar from September to January 1 means SIS 900 GOO to the American consumer, Nr Hoover said Numbers of gen fIcmen will tell you that 20 cent sugar would have prevailed and the public robbed of $1S0,o0o00o this year if we had not taken these actions. Later Mir Hoover called attention to the fact that uncontrolled sugar advanced to s5 cents pound during the Civil War.

PARADE ABANDONED WHEN
CLOUDS MADE 1T APPEAR IN
ADVISABLE TODAY.
EXHIBITS ALSO REDUCED
Corn Exhibits at Courthouse, Poultry
And Home Demonstration Exhibits
At War Work Bulding--Records
Still Open.
saturdays Daily Herald.l

Unfavorable weather conditions pre-
vented the girls and boys pig, poul-
try and corn club parade scheduled
for this morning and almost prevent
ed the annual exhibition Of the pro-
ducts of the members of these clubs.
But a sufficient number of exhibits
were erceived before noon to permit
a fair show and the prizes will be
awarded this afternoon.
While the prizes offered for ex-
hibits will be awarded on the dis
plays made today at the courthouse
and at the War Work building, the
records will be left open for the filing
OF completed reports Of boys and
girls who were prevented from being
present today by the weather and
awards on the record books will be
made upon these final reports.
Another handicap contributing to
smallness of the number of exhibits
was the fact that Maury county was
without "a farm demonstration agent
from May until October and Mrs. Ar
tie w. Bryan was called upon to look
after the affairs of both the boys and
the girls clubs. She did well with
the work, but it was too big job for
one person who already had enough
to do. The uncertainty about the
show also caused many Of the mem
bers to give it up and abandon the
idea Of making exhibits.

house this morning, District Farm
Demonstration agent ]. M. Dean said
that he had seen no better anywhere
in Middle Tennessee this year
Fred McKibbon. son of I. H. Nc
Ribbon, Of Culleoka, this morning
had made the best report on corn
production, with several other boys
still to be heard from. His record
was 1857 bushels from an acre,
which is considered splendid show
ing, for an ususually dry crop year.

The explosion Of an oil stove in a
room at the residence of John b.
Ashton on South Main street caused a
fire that completely damaged the in
terror of one room and destroyed sew
eral hundred dollars worth of furni-
ture and clothing Thursday morning
at $3.50 o'clock. No one was in the
room at the time and the fire was
discovered only when window panes
began to break and fall The fire
department made quick run and tap
ped out the blaze with chemicals, ar
irving just in time to prevent fire
that probably would have destroyed
the building. It is thought that the
absence Of air currents because Of
the room being closed prevented a
quicker spread of the flames. The
loss is estimated at 5000. This is the
first fire to which the department
has responded since Chief H. E. Rit-
ter resigned more than a month ago.
