CORN PLANTING IS
NOW ON IN COUNTY
MUCH OF THE CROP WILL BE IN
THE GROUND DURING THE
| COMING WEEK.

Corn planting has commenced in
Maury county. Large acreages have
already been planted in the great
staple crop in various sections OF
the county and should favorable
weather continue during next week
there will be great deal more plant
ed in that time. However, farmers
would like to have bit more rain
than has fallen. 1t is needed for
grass and especially for the young
clover and grass that has been sown
during the spring.
Despite the scarcity of farm labor
which in some sections in serious, the
farmers generally declare that work
is progressing splendidly. The corn
acreage will not be as large as it was
last year but it will be large, proba-
bly, larger than the average. Condi-
tions have been favorable for pre-
pairing the land and the crop will be
earlier than has been the case in
years.

Appreciation Of
War Work Room

The appreciation of the need fol
headquarters for womans work was
amply demonstrated on Saturday
when the rooms of the old Gamble
home on Garden street we're thrown
open to the public for this purpose
Ladies from the town and county fill
ed the rooms the greater part of the
afternoon expressing their interest in
words and gifts.
A collection of books for the sol
diers and piles of clothing for the Bel
gians which were gathered in one
room showed the convenience of the
location for this department of the
work.
The demonstration kitchen prob
ably attracted the most attention; the
white enamel Hoosier cabinet from
Cook and Company; an oil stove from
the Columbia Furniture Company; a
filing cabinet from the Riverside Lum-
Der company and a white enamel
water cooler from the Thursday club
being among the many generous gifts
which will be at the service of the
government in teaching our women
how to conserve food.
The rest room for al ladies of the
town and country promises to be very
attractive; those most interested hope
that this feature of the new headquar-
tiers will be of great convenience and
comfort to the community.
While the primary purpoes of the
building is for all woman's work it is
in a fuller sense community house
and is open for any committees or
gatherings in the interest of the coun-
try and her allies.

c. H. S. WAS NOT READY
FOR OPENING SEASON

Lack of preparedness for beginning
the baseball season may be given as
the explanation of the two defeats
suffered Friday and Saturday by the
Columbia High school team at the
hands of the Morgan school at Fay
etteville. Fridays game was lest 10
to 2 when the Columbia boys went up
in the air. Saturdays seveninning
game was much better and probably
would have been won by Columbia ii
it had gone nine innings. The score
was to 2 with McKibbon in the box
and just getting warmed up while the
Morgan pitcher was weakening.

No more beautifully impressive SER
vice flag ceremony has been held in
Columbia than that at st. Peters
Episcopal church Palm Sunday morn
ing, when a flag with 25 stars was
unfurled. The choir sang "The Star

been sung before and the standing
congregation vibrated with pride in
the men who have gone out to battle
for the preservation of Christian prin-
ciples.
The professional was led by the
cross and the American banner, fol-
lowing by group of children and boy
scouts. Immediately after the morn
ing prayer, the pastor Rev. Geo. o.

Rev. Geo. o. Watts sermon was on
the theme of "the might of right as
opposed to the right of might" He
drew comparison between David's
entry into Jerusalem by force and
that of Christ as the lamb of God.
The first was not lasting, the latter
was permanent.
While condeming the superman doc
trines of the Germans, DR.. Watts de-
clared that more of the heroic is need
ed in the Christian religion. Just as
the Germans are willing to go any
where or do anything for the attain
ment of their ideals, it is the duty of
Christians to be willing to go any
where or do anything for the advance
ment of their ideals.
While the soldiers OF America are
going forth to battle, they are chal-
longing the people at home to fulfill
their obligations by meeting every de-
mand of the government.
