In order to preserve every item

service bureau, that culls carefully ev-
cry Tennessee newspaper.
These clippings are sent me and

for our department of archives. When
finished, together with the record of
each wounded soldier, which will also
be put in this, | hope to have per-
manent records of all Tennessee war
achievements. However, for fear
may miss some of them, will appre-
ciate it if the parents or friends of
soldiers will send me such clippings
as they can spare, together with the
soldiers record
Il am greatly indebted to Mrs. John
R. Aust, state chairman of the wo-
mans liberty loan committee, who,
upon her own initiative. has already
compiled and and has nearly finished
a separate book of the names Of all
Tennessee soldiers who lost their
lives in the war, whether in overseas
service or not. Mrs Aust has COM
piled these. each under their separate
counties, and all clippings and men,
oranda concerning them.

will assist me in this.

100 PIGS ENTERED IN
Pig CLUBS FOR THE YEAR
COMMUNITIES ALSO BEGIN EAR
LYTo PREPARE FOR EXHIBIT
AT STATE FAIR.

One hundred or more pigs have
been entered for the years work by
the boys and girls who compose the
Maury county pig clubs and it is prob
able that the number will be increas-
ed to 125 within the next ten days.
County Demonstration Agent E. A.
Mclean stated this morning.
Half of the pigs are pure bred and
the other half are good grade stock
that will be fed for the market. Dur
ing this month Mr.. Mclean expects
to visit every member of the clubs
and inspect and check in the pigs for
the records that will be kept.
On his trips through the county Mr..
Mclean is pushing the preparations
for a county and community exhibit
at the state fair next fall. AS an indi-
cation of what Maury county can do
in competition with other counties,
the Fernvale community last year
with only two days preparation put
an exhibit in the state fair that won
third prize. With more careful prepa-
ration it is possible for a. community
from this county to win first prize.

ROAD SUPERINTENDENT
H0sKINs ON THE JOB
AT COURTHOUSE OFFICE
TAKES UP WORK OF ROAD MAIN
TENANCE WITH HIGHWAY
COMMis sSioNERs.
ROAD LAWS NOT CONFLICTING
This Opinion Probably viii Be Given
BY County Attorney Hugh T. Shell
ton-caII for Special Session Of
Quarterly Court.

J. Fl. Hoskins, recently appointed
county highway superintendent, ar
rived this morning from Kentucky
and Immediately entered upon his
duties at the highway commissions
office at the courthouse He said
that he had not had time to form
any kind of plan for his work but
that he will go into all phases of the
situation so as to be able to expend
the county's road money to the best
advantage. He was in conference
during the day with the county com
missioners and members of the coun-
ty court. ~ lI
II has been estimated that the new
county road law will produce about
100000 year for the maintenance
of the roads. The county has 1000
miles of public roads. This means
that on an average there will be only
500 mile for improvements and
maintenance. But the funds will not,
of course, be apportioned on this basis,
because all of the roads will not need
as much work as some sections.
Although County Attorney Hugh T.
Shelton has not given out definite
opinion on the matter, it is under
stood that he is of the opinion that
there is no conflict between the coun-
ty and state road laws and that all
operations and taxes of the county
law are ready to begin Immediately.
A petition signed by six members of
the county court has been filed with
County Judge w. c. Whitthorne ask
ing for a special session of the quar-
terly court to pass the road assess
ments and tax levies SO that the high
way commission may proceed imme-
tliatelys with work on the roads.

Everything is in readiness for the
one-day Victory Liberty Loan drive to
be made throughout Maury county Fri
day, May 3. The workers in every
district are prepared to make thor.

to buy government bonds will be over
looked in the drive, but all. are re-
uuested to be ready to make their sub
scriptions promptly in order to cause
as little delay as possible.
Chairman George Il. McKennon said
this morning that he is elated over
the prospects for the success Of the
drive. He asked that an appeal be
published in The Herald for every pa
triotic citizen to hold himself in readi-
ness to subscribe his limit to the Vic
tory bonds.
"This issue of government war

be bought even more eagerly than any

WILL COLUMBIA WOMEN
Be REQUIRED TO PAY
1918 TAX TO VOTE?
FIRST ELECTION FOR THEIR PAR.
TlclPATioN BE HELD NEXT
NOVEMBER.
CONSTITUTIONAL QUESTION VI
New Suffrage Act Held Invalid by En-
lnent Lawyers, But Others Hold
That II Is o. k.--Women Begin Ed
ucational Campaign.

Columbia women will have their
first opportunity to exercise their new
ly gained suffrage in the municipal
election next November In order to
participate in elections it will be nee.
essary under the suffrage act for them
to pay their poll taxes. The election
law requires that poll taxes for the
year preceding be paid 80 days before
an election. The 1918 tax books have
been closed, which means that in or
der to secure the proper credentials
for voting the women must pay tax
for year before they could vote and
also pay penalty of 50 cents for be-
ing delinquent. The amount each wo-
man will be required to pay for the
privilege of voting including the delin-
quent penalty, will be $3.50.
Trustee j. Ross Burns stated today
that no woman has as yet paid or Of
fered to pay her poll tax. He said
that he had not studied the law care
fully and was not prepared to say just
what the combined effect of the suf-
farge and election laws will have upon
the vote of women Sh7Gf+
Joseph H. Acklen, well known
Nashville attorney and student of con-
stitutional law, has held that the new
suffrage act is unconstitutional for the
reason that it imposes poll tax on
the women although the constitution
specifically puts this tax on male citi-
zens only. The suffrage act, however,
requires this tax only in voting for
electors of president and vice presi-
dent, making no mention of poll tax
for voting in municipal elections. This
brings another question up for settle
ment. Will women be permitted to
vote in municipal elections without
poll tax while the men are required to
pay this tax?
lOlllHOhb Wouioi . ouhi uSO iCuuSio y
in Columbia are maintaining the most
serene attitude toward the storm of
discussion and debate that is now go
ing on over the law granting them the
right to vote.s Fortified with the opin-
ions Of number of eminent lawyers,
two of whom are former members Of
the state supreme court, that the law
is o. k. they are giving little worry
to this phase of the question, but are
bestirring themselves to arouse the
women of the city to a realization of
the great responsibility that has been
placed upon them.
A campaign of education along
lines of duties of citizenship has been
started and will be continued until ev-
cry woman is as we'll or better vers-
ed on matters of political response

WILLIAM PADGEIT IS

IMPROVE AFTER LONG ILL

Mr.. pADGETT VISITS DISTRICT
Says Prompt Action on Part of Con-
gress viii Be Necessary to Meet
Expenses of Government After
June go.

William Padgett, who has been Sc
riously ill at the home of his wife's
parents in Franklin, for more than a
month, suffered relapse Wednesday
and his condition was very unfavora-
BILE. The physicians, however, are
hopeful of his recovery. He became
i'll shortly after returning from Wash
ington where he spent the winter as
secretary to the house naval commit
tee.
Congressman L. P. Padgett returned
today from Franklin where he had
been to visit his son. He has recently
been at Dickson, Waverly, and other
points in the district and expects to
be at home for several days unless
called to the bedside of his son.
Mr.. PadgeH stated this morning
that he had no idea when the extra
session of congress will be called, that
event being based upon the progress
OF the, peace conference and President
Wilson'S return to the United States.
He said that an early session Of CON
gress is necessary because on June 80
all appropriations for practically ev-
cry department of government expires
and there will not be one cent in the
treasury for the navy, army District
OF Columbia, Indian affairs, depart
ment of labor, department of agri.
culture or the numerous Offices cover
ed by the sundry appropriations bill.
Under similar circumstances, prior
congresses have met the situation
by passing resolutions extending the
preceding appropriations monthly un-
til new appropriation bills could be
passed. But the appropriations of the
last congress included the huge war
bills, which would make them exces-
sive for present demands Conse-
quently some other plan will have to
be, adopted to tide over the gap be-
tween the expiration of the existing
appropriations and the passage of
new bill. a.

which this country went to war The
rest of us stayed at home in safety.
The government, with faith In the 10y
atty of the people, spent billions to
provide our men at the front with ev-
erything necessary to end the war
speedily and victoriously. Some of the
supplies were provided on credit. Big
debts were piled up in order that the
slaughter might be more quickly end
ed. Now we are called upon to lend
our money to our government to pay
these debts and to pay the expenses
of bringing the boys still on the other
side back home. Our government is
offering its notes for four years at
"A per cent interest, free of taxation
to high limit, making the best invest
ment possible. There is absolutely no
reason why every man and woman in
Maury county should not buy these
bonds It is our part in finishing the
job" This was the tenor of Mr.. Nc
Kennon's final appeal to the people OF
Maury county.

fly at Columbia Wednesday but failed
TO arrive had not reached here at
noon, but 1t is practically certainty
that they will be here. Friday. They
vii serve that day to attract atten-
ton to the big drive that will be under
way and for that reason their delay
will be fortunate. The person buying
the most bonds and the one selling the
most bonds will be given ride in the
air. Mr.. McKennon, himself hopes to
be one Of the passengers.

WASHINGTON, Man 1.--American
dressed meat production, including

900 pounds-a quantity never before
approached in magnitude by the live
stock industry of this or amy other
country. The corresponding figure OF
1917 was 16,3l7, 100000 pounds.
Three-fourths OF this ,enorlneus in

in beef FIX 's,r.Sa ee
The meat surplus in 1918 was SO
atithat extra export demands made
little impression on it, although 1918
export shipments of meat and lard
nearly doubled the 1917 figures-ris-
ing from slightly less than s4 billion
pounds to slightly more than three
billion pounds--affd these figures do
not include shipments to American
military forces abroad.
The aggregate of 1917 consumption
of dressed meat and lard in the Unit
ed States was approximately 141a bill
lion pounds, but in 1918 it rose to liz
billion pounds. This means, after al
lowing for increase in population, an
addition of 23 pounds for every man,

decline considerably.
