Friday being the last day on which
the county wheel tax for road pur-
poses may be paid before the penalty
is attached, there was continuation
of the rush to secure proper receipts
and the little green tags with yellow
figures to be placed on buggies, wag-
ons. automobiles, trucks and other ve-
hicles as evidence that the tax has
been paid Early this morning Depu-
ty County Court Clerk T. +. Lipscomb
was issuing tax receipt No. 6.033.
This leaves about 1000 more vehicles,
according to the estimate of the num-
ber in the county, on which the tax
is yet to be paid.
County Court Clerk Arch Lipscomb
does not expect many delinquents but
he has advertised that the penalty
will be applied after August 1 and
enforced IN accordance with the law.

MEMS CLOTHING IS
ADVANCING EVERY DAY
LOCAL DEALER SAYS THE MAN
WHO BUYS EARLY THIS YEAR
WILL SAVE MONEY.

"The man who buys his clothing
early this season Is the one who is
going to save money" said Abe Bau-
man, of Bogatzky & Bauman this
morning in commenting on trade con-
ditions in the mems clothing market.
Mr. Bauman has letters from the big
New York clothing houses telling of
the congestion of orders there and
one house asked that he pay them 10
per cent more than the price of the
clothing bought by him last April in
order to insure delivery.
There is nothing to be gained by
waiting" said Mr.. Bauman, because
clothing is advancing every day and
in some instances prices are already
40 per cent higher on fall clothing
than they were yhen l placed my or
ders."

STATE GAME WARDEN w. D. HOW.
SER SAYS THETg ARE 'ND',
CATIONS OF OIL THERE.
HERE TO ENFORCE GAME LAWS
viii Be Present at Hearing of Men
Charged With vioIations-PubIic
Attitude Toward Department Is
More Favorable.
DAILY Herald, July 31.)

"If oil Is found on the Reelfoot Lake
property the royalty for the state
probably will be enough to pay the
state debt" said w. D. Howser, state
game warden, who was here today to
be present at the hearing Of several
parties charged with violations of the
state game laws. Mr.. Howser said
that all violations of the state game
laws that come under the observa-
tion of his department are being Wig
orously prosecuted.
"There is a much more favorable
attitude on the part of the public and
of sportsmen toward the fish and
game laws of the state and there
seems to be general desire to obey
the laws" said Mr.. Howser.
Speaking of the oil prospecting to
be done at Reelfoot Lake, which is
under the supervision of the state
game warden, Mr.. Howser said that
he had reason to believe that the
Standard Oil Co. and the Gulf Refining
Co. are backing the parties by whom
the prospecting will be done. More
than 10000 acres of land in the Reel
foot Lake region of West Tennessee
and Southwest Kentucky are under
lease to the prospectors. II oil is
found the royalty will be enough to
pay the state debt.
Mr.. Howser said that all biologists
who have investigated the territory
have given favorable reports. Several
years ago, said Mr.. Howser, a well
was bored at Reelfoot Lake. When
oil sand was struck. State Geologist
Pardue suggested that the well be
"shot." The we'll boring men insisted
that they did not have enough dyna-
mite to make the shot. After DR., Par
due left, the we'll borers capped the
well and departed. At that time only
few leases were held for oil drill
ing, but since then the whole section
has been leased. There may be some
significance in this occurrence.

(Bv United Press.)

WASHINGTON, July 31.-"Deer
and careful consideration is being
given by President Wilson to the re.
quest of the Brotherhood of Locomo

ate action towad reducing the cost of

Friends of the Kenyon bill drawn
to regulate the packers say the Presi-

The war department today was ar

ALEX T|IC0MB TO
MAKE ANNOUNCEMENT

STATED TODAY THAT HIS FOR

BE MADE IN FEW DAYS.
PROBABLY ANNOUNCE TICKET

PROBABLY ANNOUNCE TICKET
daily Herald, July 81

II will make formal announcement
of my candidacy for mayor of Column
bia within few days. said Alex Tit
comb today. "At the time | make my
formal announcement there will also
probably be an announcement of a full
aldermanic ticket" said Mr.. Titcomb.
1t had been known for some time
that Mr.. Titcomb was considering the
announcement for mayor, but nothing
definite had been given out regarding
what he would do. His statement to-
day that he would soon make his an
nouncement for mayor opens the cam
paign for the municipal election in
October, when complete board of
mayor and aldermen will be elected.
Mr. Titcomb has been a resident of
Columbia all his life. He has been
in business here and has been &C
tive In the church and Sunday school
life of the First Presbyterian church.
The announcement of Mr. Titcomb
for mayor, it is thought, will be follow
ed in few days by other announce
ments, 1t being known that one and
probably two other citizens are Sc
riously considering the advisability Of
making the race
Sine time ago there was an effort to
put out a harmony ticket on which it
was hoped there would be no contest
That effort apparently was failure
or talk of 1t subsidized. With the mu-
nicipal election less than two months
off it may be felt certain that the cam
paign will begin to become active mex,
week.

entire crop will today send the first
car load to market Already a number
of small shipments by express have
been made but from now on the sta

busiest places in the county.
1t had been estimated that the crop
this season would aggregate not less
than fifty cars but the output has
been unquestionably cut down by the
severe drouth that has prevailed in
that section. Practically all of the
canteloupes grown in the county are
produced within a small territory i'm
mediately around Culleoka That sec
tion has not been visited bly, rain OF
consequence in more than a month
and the crop has deteriorated as re-
suit. Good prices are anticiuated as
first shipments are expected to net
the growers something like 80 cents a
crate.

TO CLOSER RELATIONS
A Long Stride Is Taken That Way in
Trade With Brazil.

Rio de Janeiro, sJan. IA long
stride had been taken toward closer
trade relations between Brazil and the
United Stats today, as a result of
adoption by the Brazilian Association
of Commerce of the plan of COM
mercia1 arbitration. proposed by the
American chamber of commerce.
The American plan provides that
importers and exporters of Brazil and
the United States agree to a standard
form for commercial contracts. and
s! all arbitrate all disputes over mer-
chandise. Arbitration will be in the
hands of committees appointed Jointly
by the Brazilian and American COM
n-ercia1 organizations.
In speeches before the Brazilian As
ISOLATION of Commerce, Consul Gen
eral Momsen and Consul Attache
Phillippi said the purpose of the ar
bitratioD clause was to inspire and
maintain confidence in business rela-
tions and settle all commercial dis
putes impartially. inexpensively and
expeditiously without recourse to the
courts and without the loss of friend
ship. They said they believed the
plan will result eventually in elimi-
mating fly-by-nig business methods.
by which goods do not match samples
and shipments are underweight.
