ONLY COFFEE Of THE
STAPLES OF DINING
TABLE IS ADVANCING
DECIDED DOWNWARD TENDENCY
NOTED IN MOST ARTICLES
OF FOOD.
DRIED BEANS AND PEAS ARE OFF
Sugar Also Lower Than It Was
Month Ago While Potatoes Are Very
Much Cheaper Than During the War
Period-Fruit High and Scarce.

Down, down, down comes the high
cost OF living. Not suddenly or pre-
cipitately, in fact almost unseeably at
times, but nevertheless comparison
Of prices now and what they were a
year ago or at the time the armistice
was signed will show that on com.
plete purchase of balanced ration
the good housewife can make a saving
Only one Of the staples Of the fam.
lily dining table is going up. That is
coffee. This indispensable adjunct of
the breakfast table has advanced and
is showing signs of further ambi.
tons along that line But coffee, be
it remembered, is about the only thing
that goes into the family larder that
behaved during the war and did not
advance.
There has been only slight decline
in pork products, lard having partial
ly recovered from it's recent slump.
There will be none of course as long
as hogs are as high as they are now,
but there has been a decline in hams
and bacon. That is somewhat encour-
aging to the housewife.
Dried peas and dried beans have
probably slumped more than any arti-
Gle of diet. Corn products are off
although meal has not declined in pro-
portion at the price of corn has slump
ed. However, there is not the demand
for meal now that there was during
the period of war control. People are
going back to larger -four diet
Fruits and fruit products are high
er and scarcer than ever and there is
small prospect of a decline until a
new crop is marketed. But many Of
the canned vegetables have declined.
Eggs are cheaper than they have
been in long time and poultry is
somefhat sheaper. There has been a
very slight decline in rice Sugar is
cheaper, dollar buying half ponnd
more than it would month ago and
hundred pounds can be bought for
nearly cent a pound less than one
had to pay amonth ago and it is pres
ent too in larger quantities. Potatoes
are cheaper than they were last year
and from present indication the crop
of turnip green's is going to be heavy,
hence no big prices are expected on
the spring diet.

BRONZE TABLET
IN HONOR BOYS
HIGH SCHOOL
STUDENTS IN ARMY SERVICE OF
NATION TO HAVE A PERFECT
UAL MEMORIAL.
WILL CONTAIN THEIR NAMES
Hope to Be Able to unveii II With
Imposing Ceremonies During the
Commencement Week, n Not Then
Next Fall. Il

Friends and pupils of the Maury
County High School will erect In the
front of the main hallway or entrance
to the school building a bronze tabled
to the memory of the men and boys
of the school who served in the army
and navy during the great war for lib~
erty and civilization.
The suggestion was made for this
tablet to Prof. Harris, superintendent
by friend of the school on last Frs
day night Prof. Harris received the
suggestion with enthusiasm and at a
meeting of the faculty on Monday sub
mitted 1t and there was an immediate
and unanimous response and already .
considerable portion of the sum nee
essary has been pledged.
1t is proposed on this tablet to place
the names of the students, former stu
dents and graduates of the school who
served in the armed forces of the. ma
ton, There will be approximately 116
names on the tablet. The cost has not1
yet been ascertained but whatever
it is there is no doubt about getting
it without delay. Several members
of the faculty have pledged financial
support and it is expected that the
students will respond with pleasure
to the opportunity to honor those
who offered themselves upon nthe al
tar Of their country. H
It is planned if the tablet can be
obtained within that time, to have II
unveiled during commencement week
with appropriate ceremonies. II II
cannot be secured within that limited
time then the exercises will take place
at the opening of school in the fall.

MAN POWER GIVEN
FOR THE WAR FROM
HOMES Of MAuRY
81 MEN, WHITE AND CoLoRDED,
MADE THE SUPREME sAcRl-
FIcE FOR COUNTRY.
MORE THAN 1,70O IN UNIFORM
Many Commissioned and Non.c Commits
stoned Officers From Maury County.
Other Workers Who Did Not Wear
Uniform.

There is no accurate roll of the Mau
ry county men and boys who respond
ed to the cali to the colors in the late
war and served with gallantry in the
army and navy, but the draft records
show that S73 men were enrolled in
the army through the selective ser.
vice and that the disposition to evade
service was SO rare that it was negli.
gible. In addition to these men sever.
al hundred others had been examined
and were ready and willing to go into
the service when the armistice was
signed and rehabilitation began.
Fully as many others volunteered
at the outbreak of the war as were
called in the selective service. Bat.
terry F of the Hath field artillery was
organized at Columbia and was com.
posed largely of Maury countians.
Battery E, 115th artillery likewise had
on its roll large number of Maury
countians, the battery having been
converted from company of the old
First Tennessee Infantry that was
partially organized at Columbia.
Hundreds of other men and boys vol.
unteered in the various branches of
The army, navy, aviation service and
officers training camps, swelling the
total number of men in uniform from
this county to fully 1,700. OF this
number 100 or more were commission.
ed officers ranking from second lieu.
tenant to colonel, while scores of 9th.
ers were non-commissioned officers.
Maury county's contribution Of men
to the war was not in service alone
but also in the supreme sacrifice.
The casualty lists showed 81 fatal.
ties among soldiers from Maury coun.
ty as follows:
White-Killed in aeroplane accident,
l; killed in action IS; missing in ac-
ton, probably killed, Q; died of wounds,
s.; died of disease overseas, s; died
of disease in home camps, 8; died
from accident, /; total, "A. ~
Colored--Killed in action, 8; died of
disease overseas, 5; died of diiease in
home camps, 5; total, Is.
More than 100 Maury county SOL
diers were wounded in action, their in
juries being of varying degrees. Ten.
nessee soldiers were just beginning to
get into action when hostilities ceas-
ed and it is certainty that the interp-
i'd courage of Maury countians would
have led the soldiers from this county
into places of danger where many
more of them would have been killed
or wounded had the war continued.
In addition to the soldiers and sail
ors, Maury county also furnished a
number of men and women for other
phases of war work, which if less he
roic was none the less important and
none the less effective in helping to
bring the war to a victorious end.
Scores of girls and young women from
the county enlisted in the ranks of
departmental clerks in Washington
and elsewhere, while many of them
went to work in the powder plant at
Nashville and several were enlisted
as yoemen in the navy.

COLUMBIA SHIPPERS !
TO UNITE IN FIGHT
AFTER LOWER RATES
TO FORM BRANCH OF SOUTHERN
INTERIOR TRAFFIC Asso.
CITATION HERE.
INVITE AEIGHBoRING CITIES
Seek Equalization Of Rates As Be-
tween Interior and River Points
A. J. McGeehee, Leader of Move.
ment to Attend Meeting.

Columbia shippers and shippers
from other Middle Tennessee towns
not located on nayigable rivers are
expecting to attain more beneficial
results from the organization next
Saturday of branch Of the Southern
Interior Traffic association here than
they have ever been able to gain
through their individual efforts.
Shippers from Lewisburg, Lawrence
burg, Pulaski, Franklin, Murfrees-
boro, Fayetteville, Mt. Pleasant and
other towns and cities have been in
vited to assemble at IL o'clock next
Saturday morning at the Bethel
House for the purpose of forming this
organization.
A. J. McGeehee, secretary Of the
Jackson Association of Commerce
and also of the West Tennessee
branch Of the traffic association, will
be present to present a report of
what has already been accomplished
along this line. He has been in cor
respondence with j. Shelby Coffey,
who represents local shippers, re-
garding the movement, and has stat.
ed that he will assist the shippers
here in making the fight for equaliza-
ton of rates.
In letter to DR.. Coffey he says:
I'VE have sent many kilograms to
members of this committee Inter
state Commerce) from Jackson and
surrounding towns in West ,Tennes-
see, urging the passage Of the Long
and Short Haul Bills at this session
of congress-
Il am just in receipt Of a letter
from the secretary of the Spokane
(Wash) Chamber of Commerce, who
is now at Washington pushing the
passage Of these bills on behalf of the
interior towns of the west.
HE stated that the senate COM
mittee will report these bills for pass
az at its meeting Tuesday, and that
he hopes to have it reported for pass.
ag from the House committee next
Friday, and urgs that we press upon
Congressman T. w. Sims, chairman of
the committee of the house, not to
let these bills die in committee, but
urge their immediate passage.
"Mr. Sims is strong for us and
would do everything possible. The
only danger is that he allow the OPP
ponents to kill it by tactics OF de-
lay.
Il will be with you Saturday, with
out fail, unless unavoidably detained
or receive notice from you that we
cannot have at that time representa-
tives from the surrounding towns"
Reporting the meeting Of shippers
in Jackson last Friday the Jackson Sun
said that it will contribute more
largely to the future progress and in.
dustrial prosperity Of the cities and
towns located in the interior than any
steps heretofore TAKEN
ut is we'll known" says the report,
that the railroads of the country
have given exceedingly low freight
rates to the coast and river cities for
the purpose of suppressing all traf.
fic to and from these cities by water.
they have imposed upon the interior
points rates ranging from 100 to 200
per cent higher than these competitive
river rates."
