GEAR RATIO CHANGES

When 1t is desired to get more
speed into an old car one of the
operations necessary is 20 change
the gear ratio Of the rear axle Rae
ing cars use less than three to- one
reduction and this change can be
made in the ordinary stock model
by fitting new differential ring

be obtained from the maker of the

RIM PASTE

Many car owners employ a paste
make OF flake graphite and linseed
oil to rub on the inner surface OF the
rim before the casing is put in place
This prevents rust from forming on
the rim and eliminates sticking by
the casing.

Removable Truck Bodies May
Be Used to Great ADVANTAGE

ures showing the amazing increase
in ton mileage OF the trucks used
with removable bodies as compared
with those with solid bodies have
been submitted at various times by
efficiency experts. and their showing
Is almost unbelievable.
For instance. "A shifting ola load in
five minutes is slow time, yet under
the solid body method an hour would
not be unusual for n truck TO wait
for it's load. Test loads have been
made by many companies showing a

ARE BUSY
IN THE CORN FIELDS
MAKING EVERY MOMENT BE-
TWEEN SHOWERS COUNT IN
FIGHT ON THE WEEDS.

Between showers and threatened
rain the farmers of the county are
making every moment count in their
corn fields. From early morning to
late at night the cultivators, horse
hoes and hand hoes are going at full
tilt with the result that many of the
fields are already in far different con-
dition from what they were a few
days ago. The corn has grown rapid
ly despite the weeds. and grass and
when once the fields are clean the
prospect will be a most alluring one.
Wheat has suffered less damage
from the rains than many had
thought. While there is a good deal
of rust throughout the county it is
mostly on the blades, very little on
the stalks and will not therefore ma
terially lessen the yield of the grain.
Many clover fields are ready now for
the mover.

CAM M'KAY IS CALLED
TO THE OTHER SIDE
POPULAR RESIDENT OF SECOND
DISTRICT DIES AFTER LONG
ILLNESS.

Cam H. Mckay, one of the most
prominent and popular citizens of the
second district, widely known in the
county, died suddenly near his home
on the Carriers Creek turnpike about
eleven miles from the city, this morn

health for the past eight or nine
years and for long time was confin-
ed to his home, but recently there had
been some Improvement and he was

ing in his buggy and evidently got out
as he was found about nine o'clock
by the side of the road dead. 1t is
supposed that death came almost with
out warning.
Mr.. Mckay is survived by his wife
and four children, three daughters and
one son. They are Mrs. C. A. Beole,
Mrs. H. HI. Hardison, Mrs. Ross Ander-
son and Robert Mckay. He was a
member of the Presbyterian church
and in years gone by had been active
in its councils. He was 66 years of
age.
Mr.. Mckay was a most public spirit
ed citizen when he enjoyed good
health, was genial and accommodating
and readily made friends. Although
he never held Office he was always
active in politics and welded wide
influence in his section. For many
years he was member of the coun-
ty democratic, .cammittee and had fire.,
quently been delegate to county and
state conventions.
Arrangements for the funeral had
not been made this morning as news
was waiting from his brother in Tex

WOMEN VOTERS.

While recognizing the justice OF
the plea made for equal suffrage The
Herald has long entertained serious
doubts of any demand upon the part OF
the women for Acknowledgement. II
has believed that the large majority
of the women of Maury county were
absolutely Indifferent on the question
They will accept the ballot if rendered
them, but they are not going to make
any great effort to obtain it. The re-
cent election at Mt. Pleasant, the
first in which women ever had the
privilege to vote in the county, shows
that the sex cared little for their
newly acquired right. OF course there
was no contest at Mt. Pleasant, but
this was Offset in part at least by the
fact that voting was a novelty with
the women. II answered the often
repeated charge that women are al
ways seeking the novel and the unusu-
al.
One cannot say just what the atti-
tude OF the women of this county
will be until they have the right to
vote in some holly contested election,
but 1t is going to take good deal of
persuasion to get them to the polls
in any considerable numbers. Doubt
less there are as many women over
twenty-one years of age in this county
as there are men. II is going to be
matter of only few years until the
women will have the right to vote in
all elections. The federal amend
ment will be promptly ratified by the
states and sex distinction in voting
will be abolished in America. 1t is too
late to argue the abstract question of
whether or not woman ought to vote.
1t is certain that they are going to
have the privilege. In the meantime,
IL they really want to participate in
the affairs of the country they should
themselves with the duties
Of citizenship.

CULIEokA SCHOOL,

Citizens of the Culleoka communi
ty are to be heartily congratulated
upon their public spirit and enter
prise in giving $4,000 for the erection
of new public school building. 1t is
the most magnificent single gift ever
made in Maury county for public edu.
cation. II is. considering the size of
the community. probably one of the
finest donations ever made in the
state When people go down into
their pockets and go down deep for
anything their hearts are in what they
do. The building will be an enduring
and most useful monument to the de-
vption OF those people to the cause of
popular education. They have attest
ed their loyalty to public education

FARMERS SCHOOL (N

There Is but one discordant note In
the general praise showered by the
press of Tennessee upon the trustees
for having selected DR.. H. A. Morgan
for president of the University of Ten
nessee and that comes from the es
teemed Johnson City Staff, which is
usually right on public questions
That journal expresses the fear that
the state is going to be robbed of an
efficient workman and the university
will become Farm School,"
DR.. Morgan is entirely too broad in
his views, he is too much of an
American Democrat, his fund of knowl
edge too, wide and varied and he is a
man of altogether too much real cul
ture. to subordinate the other colleges
of the university to the agricultural
college. There Is nothing upon which
to base the charge that DR.. Morgan
has narrow and wholly unjustified
conception of the functions of a uni
versity. He has breathed universi
ty atmosphere ever since he was in
his teens.
Now why should not a farmer be
elected president of the University OF
Tennessee? In the past the presidents
have come largely from the ministry
and men of letters strictly. Yet Ten
nessee is very largely an agricultural
state. The time has long since gone
when brains and education are not
valuable assets in operating a farm
il such a time ever was. The old idea
that man who could not do anything
else would make farmer has been
exploded. 1t is healthy sign when
the great producing 'class. the mer
who are the truest interpreters of the
spirit Of genuine Americanism and
individualism, the farmers, have one
of their own elected president Of the
state university. No one will dis
count the need for farm school, Of
the highest quality in Tennessee. I'm
der Morgan the university will not
only be one Of the foremost farm
schools" in the world, but it will con
tinue to be really great university
in the true meaning of that word. Nc
activity or department Of the universe
ty will lack in sympathy and cooper
alton from the new president.
It is likewise a mistake to say that
the new president will lead life Of
clustered seclusion. He is going tC
continue his visits to the people of the
state. making the university more
than ever great peoples institution
1t will be the greatest factor in the
development of the highest ideals Of
citizenship.

TRY NEGRO SAID
TO HAVE CAUSED
E. ST. LOUIS RIOT

st. Louis, Mo-, March 20.-Op-
ening statements were made today
in the trial at Waterloo. ILL.,, of Le-
roy n. Bundy, East st. Louis negro
dentist, charged with plotting the
murder of Detectives Samuel Cop
pedge and Frank Wodley on the
night of July l, 1917. which it is
alleged, precipitated the race riots
of the following day. The jury was
completed yesterday.
The contention of the state in
the trials of other negroes was that
Bundy had secretly armed and
drilled a large number of negroes
in preparation for an attack of the
whites and that it was these ne
groes who did the shooting.
Ten negroes already have been
convicted and are serving SEN
tences for killing the detectives.
Bundy could not be tried with
them as he was in Ohio resisting
extradition.
