ELIMINATE LOSS
DUE u . TO NEGLECT
N SAVING eggs:
PRODUCE DETLERs OF THE CITY
ASK co-oPERATioH FROM
FARMERS.
IN CUTTING OUT THE WASTE
Estimated That Not Less Than $685..
600 Is Lost During the Summer
Months ons Eggs That Win Not
Stand the Test.

Columbia's produce dealers, Harper
Thomas Company, Barker-ShapirC
Company and Hardison Produce Com
pany, have inaugurated a campaign
for the cooperation of the farmers
and poultry men in eliminating the
waste in marketing eggs, OF the more
than $4,000 dozen eggs that are daily
marketed in Maury county during the
hot weather not less than five per cent
are rejected because they will not
candle" that is they have deteriOrat.
ed to the extent that they are not fit
for human consumption.
This waste or loss can all be elm.
mated il the producers will cooper.
ate with the dealers by marketing
their eggs not less than three times a
week. II impracticable to do this
the loss can be saved by gathering the
eggs from the nests promptly each
day and placing them in a COOL dark
place, the cellar preferred, and keep
ing them there until marketed which
should not in any event be many
days.
All eggs are purchased on a can
died basis, but the dealers dislike
very much to turn down every day a
large number of eggs. 1t always caus-
es much dissatisfaction and the deal
ers would very much rather buy eggs
that are all good and for that reason
are appealing to the farmers for CO.
operation.
The loss during the heated season
on bad eggs in this county is estimat-
ed at not less than $4,000, a pretty
tidy sum to pay for little neglect
and carelessness. Only this week a
farmer brought to a local dealer a
basket containing ten dozen eggs of
which three dozen and three would
not stand the test. This represented
loss OF over dollar, or ten cents
dozen on the basket of eggs. A
real public service will be rendered
and the wealth Of the county increas-
ed If the farmers will only cooperate
with the dealers in this important
matter.

PARIS, June 12.-The Big Four ap-
parently are entangled in discussions
and disagreements such as have i'm
mediately preceded the conclusion Of
every important subject taken up
since the beginning of the peace con-
ference. Following Premier Clemen-
ceau's rejection of the revised plan
for admitting Germany to the league
of nations, the Big Four are trying to
reach compromise in order to meet
Clemenceau's objections. 1t is said
that it is unlikely that anything re-
garding Germany's admission to the
league will be added. to the treaty.
Germany probably will be assured
that she will be taken into the league
as soon as she demonstrates her in
tentions to live up to her treaty obliga-
tions.

CHAUTAUQUA HAS
RECORD AUDIENCE
FOR FIRST NIGHT
TICKET GUARANToRs GO OVER
THEsToP WITH MORE THAN
GUARANTEED NUMBER.
CROWD CATCHES the SPIRIT
Orchestral Sextette Sets Them to
Smiling and Ada Ward Plays on
Their Emontions With Tales of Hu.
NOR and Pathos From Trenches.

Columbia's first night audience at
4 the Redpath Chautauqua was record
breaker, the superintendent declaring
to the ticket guarantors that it was
the biggest initial attendance that
had been encountered on this circuit
And incidentally the guarantors were
elated over the fact that when all had
entered more than the guaranteed
number of 700 tickets had been sold
They went ahead with the sales today
with the expectation of increasing the
number to 800. With ideal weather
prevailing the 1919 Chautauqua bids
fair to be the most successful on re-
cord and the big nights will find the
tent on North Garden street packed.
The opening numbers on the pro-
gram set the pace for wonderful
program and put the audience in hu.
NOR for boosting. The Orchestral
Sextette of two young men and four
smiling girls set everybody else to
smiling. They had the Chautauqua
flavor, which means that they were
everything they purported to be.
Their solos, duets, triOs and quar-
tettes as well as their sextettes,
aroused applause that would stand for
nothing less than repeated encores.
When the little girl played Smiles"
as an encore on her piano-accordion,
1t was impossible to tell whether it
was her smile or the tune that pleased
the most. The sextette had pleased
the afternoon audience equally as
well
Ada Ward, with the titled of Miss
dropped as she preferred, brought
graphic description of conditions that
existed In British camps and hospit-
ais during the earlier days of war
when, she went to France as an enter

and comic as we'll as the heroic and
pathetic. She used blackboard for
Illustration of some of her remarks.
She couldn't qualify as an artist but
the crayon and blackboard served to
focus the thought of the audience OIL
what she was saying. She concluded
with stirring appeal to the peoplo
Of America to go on" in the fight for
human liberty that has not ended with
the crushing of German militarism,
begging them not to stop until every
form of evil has been wiped from the

the great English speaking nations OF
Great Britain and the United States
Yes, she was British, and didn't let

COLUMBIA SHIPPING
ICE TO FLORENCE
LOCAL MANAGER OF PLANT
STARTS UP AUXILIARY. UNIT
TO MEET DEMANDS.

Harry E. Kloepfer, local manager
of the Columbia Ice & Cold Storage
Company, announced last year during
the ice famine that as long as he was
manager of the local plant that condi-
tions as existed then, would never oc-
cur again, and to meet the demand
that was bound to come as soon as the
heated spell set in, he filled his stor-
age rooms with ice early this year
and has just begun to go in on the re-
serve.
He has also started the auxiliary
unit at the plant and is now making
almost twice as much ice as the plant
has been manufacturing. so there is
not a possibility of a scarcity, while
on the other hand with the auxilia-
ry unit in operation he will be able
to restore to his storage rooms, the
six car loads he has shipped out in the
past four days to Florence, Ala, which
city has been up against it on account
of the plant being out of operation.
Mr.. Kloepfer stated this morning
that if he had not filed his storage
room with ice the past winter, it
would have been impossible for him
to have accommodated his neighbor-
ing city with ice. The local plant is
shipping two car loads per 0\y now
to Florence and can keep this up and
supply the local demand without the
least trouble.
