Just remember there are little chill

easy to find, who will be delighted
with gifts from you of things not
needed or used by you. 1t Is hard
sometimes to part with cherished
things, but progress bids us throw off
these hampering things, that we may
be free to accomplish work worth
while.
During the hot weather the house

STATE EXPECTS TO RAISE
MUCH MORE POULTRY

HUNTINGDON, Tenn, March 2S.-
Miss Vivian Hawkins, home demon
stration agent of Carroll county, is
IN receipt OF letter from Richard N.
Crane, specialist in poultry husbandry
in the division of extension, Univer-
sity of Tennessee, which calls her at
tention to the fact that the Govern
ment is expecting an increase of
5000 in the poultry of Tennessee this
year. The proper use of purebred
poultry is encouraged in order that
this mark may be attained. County
agents are being asked to encourage
the distribution of purebred stock and
Matching eggs. Mr.. Crane is urging
the purchase of local stock, in all
cases, in order that transportation IA
cilities may not be called upon to
carry stock from place to place when
similar stock can be secured in the
home county. Breeders of poultry in
each county have listed their stock
and any one within the county may Sc
cure information about the available
poultry supplies by inquiring of the
county home demonstration agent.

GERMAN LEFT FLANK EXPOSED
BY j. w. T. MASON

written for the United Press.)
NEW YORK, March 2S.-4Iiinden
burg's ceaseless slaughter of Ger
mans to maintain the absolutist power
of the Hohenzollerns continues to
center along the southern front under
the Hohenzollern crown prince, with
increasing danger for the German
army Every mile of advance by the
Germans south of the Somme now
makes Hindenburg's left flank more
vulnerable. The announcement from
Paris that only'a few French divis-
ions are being used insEthe present
battle must cause disquietude and
caution at the kaiser's headquarters
The bulk of the French reserves are
free to develop major attack
against the German flank south OF
the Somme if Hindenburg pushes a
salient too far to the west. Even the
risks that Hindenburg is prepared to
run to perpetuate the Hohenzollern
autocracy must reach their limit
when confronted with the possibility
of Frances reserve power striking
Germany's flank. The German peo-
pie ar showing signs of uneasiness at
the fact that the French troops have
not been tempted to waste their
strength in the present onslaught. Al
ready. therefore, a slight reaction in
appearing in Germany against the
promises of the Hohenzollerns that
the kaiser's human sacrifices would
win the war for those German peo-
pie that were left.
With the French army still fresh
German Socialists are beginning to
see the battle now raging cannot be
decisive for Germany. Soon a reu
ization of the part the American army
is yet to play in the struggle, will
add more powerfully to the reaction
There is no reason for pessimism in
the face of the manner in which the
fighting is now proceeding. At every
important point the Germans are be-
ing held and there are increasing in
dications that the initiative is be-
ginning to pass to the British and
NH
being strengthened by reinforcements
while Won Hindenburg's reserve lines
are growing fewer. The kaiser is
losing his gamble with death.

BIG SALE At HAYS
& WR|GHT'S monday
FINAL SALE OF MULE COLTS
PATTERSON BROS, OF OHIO,
SELL TWO CARS MARES.

The first Monday in April will be
some busy day in Columbia There
will be two sales at the stables of
Hays &c Wright. Beginning promptly
at twelve O'Clock this mule firm will
inaugurate their closing sale Of mule
colts for the season. They have Sc
cured for this, their last colt sale, a
car load of the best colts they have
thus far sold this year, and the farm
ers of Maury county who are expect
ing to feed colts this next year will
get some good picking from this
bunch.
At one o'clock, or Immediately
after the close of this sale, Patterson
Bros, of Ohio, will sell two car loads
of draft mares at the same stables.
This sale will be conducted by Jack
Granbery, of this city.
The importation of these extra
heavy heavy draft mares into Maury
county, means much to the farmers.
II means that they will get animals
that can make their crops, the same
as a mule and an animal that will
produce mule colt each year that
will be worth s125 as soon as it is
dropped. The farmers of Maury are
fast waking up to the fact that it does
not pay to breed the racing bred stock
to jacks, to produce first-class mules.
To get the best results in raising
mules. they necessarily must have
dam that is equal in quality to the
sire.
