EXPERIMENT STATION.

If Maury countians who objected
so strenuously to the purchase of the
lands for and the location of the Mid
die Tennessee Experiment Station
here could have heard the express
sions from the members of the legis-
lature who were here Thursday they
would have agreed that there was
much more merit in the enterprise
than they had thought. At least they
would have thrilled with pride. These
legislators have been nearly all over
the state and they came from widely
separated counties and without ex-
ception they declared that the loca-
ton of the station here was eloquent
proof of the proper appreciation of ag-
riculture upon the part of the people
Of this county. They have seen the
station at Jackson and. the station at
Knoxville and agreed that the location
afforded better opportunities for the
development of the great live stock in
dustry than either of the others. Two
members OF the committee live in a
county that adjoins the home of the
West Tennessee station and they told
of what stimulus the work there had
been to agriculture in West Tonnes
see.

RECORD OF DEsERTloNs.

Tennessee made an enviable record
for small percentage of assertions
among those registered for service
under the draft act, between June s.,
1917, and Sept. II, 918. Only two
states in the South had smaller num-
Der of desertions reported. They were
North Carolina with 267 per cent of
assertions and Kentucky with 1.79 per
cent OF assertions reported Among
the white deserters reported from
Tennessee made an even better re-
cord, the per cent being 2.05. For reg
strants both white and black the per
,entage of assertions reported in
Tennessee was 1913, while the per-
,entage for the whole United States
was 4.45. The percentage of white.
leserters reported in the entire coun-
try was 3.47 so that looking at the
matter from the whole number or the
whites Tennessee made a record
That should be source OF pride. Only
two out Of 100 of our registrants
lmong the whites were reported as de-
sertehs, while nearly three and a half
If every 100 whites in the entire coun-
Try were so reported. Eight out of
avery 100 colored registrants in the
state were reported as deserters. How
ever, even our colored registrants
made better record than they did
'or the entire country, the percentage
or the United States being 9.S1.
These figures are taken from the re-
bort of Provost Marshal General Crow
Ter which makes most interesting

THAT EXPENSE MONEY.

Our highly esteemed friend, Col.
Carter, of the Lewisburg Tribne is ut
terly disguised, profoundly shocked
and genuinely outraged that any one
should voice a protest against the ap-
preparation of $50 expense money to
each member of the legislature. The
Colonel is a friend of the legislators
and he is not going to see them ma
ligned, traduced, slandered and re-
fected upon If he can help it. The
Colonel is also clerk of the senate, a
most lucrative job ana would doubt.
less confess that he is not unfriendly
to the members. He would probably
admit that he is partial Judge.
Col Carter very well states that it
is expensive to live in Nashville. No
one can question that fact. No mem
Der of the legislature can live de-
Gently in the capital city and come
out even on four dollars day. Even
il he We're paid twice four dollars a
day, and had any business at all at
home, he would lose financially. But
that does not argue that under the
guise of stamps or stenographic ex-
penses the members are warranted in
voting themselves an increased COM
pensation. Every one comedies that
members of the legislature are ridicu-
lousy underpaid, but there is not a
member of the senate or house who
was drafted and made serve. n. Gss, ID

pealed to, the voters to elect him just
what, compensation was fixed lby the
constitution. He had also, or should
have had a pretty fair idea of how lit

amounted to. He had probably some
conception last summer of the cost of
living in, hotels in Nashville And yet
he expressed his willingness to, serve.
paying the price in order to attain
the high honors, of the office. Having
taken this view of the situation last
summer heJ ought not now allow his
patriotism and ambition to ooze away
and take money to which he has a
very doubtful claim.

A LEAGUE OF NATIONS.

Probably niney-fve per cent of the
people OF America are earnest sup
oorters OF league of nations or con-
cert Of powers or alliance that will
minimize the danger of future wars
md prove some sort of guarantee of
permanent peace. The bare question
If whether or not one is for such a
league, submitted to the voters of
his nation, would receive an over
whelming affirmative response. There
is no sort of question on this point.
Democrats and republican, alike are
behind the purposes sought to be
achieved in league of nations. No
party could long survive that would
oppose some arrangement between the
great powers that would make less
probable a recurrence of the recent
halocaust.

about the ."profiteeging farm Az Az
cording to the logic of the city press
when farmer sells anything at an
advance over former prices he is a
"profteer.' Increased cost of every,
thing that the farmer must buy is sci,
dom taken into account. He is given
small credit for the fact that he must
pay about double now for farm wag-
on, that his fencing and machinery
cost him more than twice what they
did before the great war. Not only
that he is entitled to fair interest
return on his equipment or capital
which is much larger now than was
formerly required
The good farmer, the farmer who
farms for posterity as well as for the
present is constantly adding to his in
vestment through the improvement of
his land. Assuredly he is entitled to
return on this increase as we'll as,
the business man is entitled to an
interest return on the surplus that he
is adding. to his capital investment,

safely calculate any returns. He is
often the victim OF the elements. He
is always at the mercy of the wealth

enemies. In the past, during the
years of low prices the margin be-
