BREAKS RECORD
Expert Declares Murfreesboro
Beechfield's Fairy Girl
Best in South.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, May 2S. (Spl,)--
Beechfield's Fairy Girl, a senior yearl-
ing, owned by Kingswood farm. Muir
freesboro, Tenn, has Just made record
OF 434 pounds Of fat and 511 pounds
of butter from S.217 pounds of milk in
one year at the age of l year and II
months. According to Prof. c. Elmer
Wylie, head of the department of
dairying, College Of Agriculture, Uni
versity of Tennessee, this breaks the
record for Tennessee as well as for all
Southern states.
The record at this age, for Tennessee,
was formerly held by Golden Elsie
Marie, owned by the Tennessee Elk
pertinent station. The Southern record
was formerly held by Blue Foxs Emil
nent Tulip. owned by Thomas Taylor,
Jr., Of South Carolina.
During the test Beechfield's Fairy
Girl was fed on Schumacher feed, cot
tonseed meal, bran, clover hay and
silage. She was under the care of j. o.
versity of Tennessee and Lyle Bag
well. Kingswood farm has Is cows
now on yearly test and these are max
ing a splendid showing.
Tennessee has long been noted for
its fine Jersey cattle. In fact the
foundation for some OF the greatest
herds in America were selected from
Tennessee herds The above record is
another victory for the Jersey breeders
of the state and should serve as a
great stimulant to the dairy industry
In general in Tennessee.
There are now 35 herds of dairy cattle
on yearly butterfat tests in Tennessee,
according to Prof. Wylie. This leads
the number of dairy herds on test in
other Southern states by large mar
gin.

CAR SHORTAGE DELAYS
SHIPMENTS OF TRUCK

CRYSTAL SPRINGS, Miss, May rs.
pl)-Much Inconvenience is being eX-
perieneed by the shippers and growers
Of vegetables here this week on account
Of the car shortage. Tuesday night
about 20 cars of mixed vegetables, cab
bage, peas, beans and carrots were left
under the shipping shed on account Of
the railroad not being able to furnish
sufficient cars TO freight the stuff
away Wednesday there was an I'M
usually large shipment. The streets be-
ing crowded all day with wagons and
motor trucks bringing in stuff, and
when night came there were fully 20
carloads that had to be stored under
the sheds to await the coming of re-
frigerator cars.
1t is understood that the shortage Is
due to some extent to some trouble with
icing facilities at Jackson. This delay
will cost the growers much in prices
and every effort is being made to relieve
the situation.

333BeersOnly ST.;
Coblenz Yanks
In Wet Paradise

(Stars and Stripes Service)
COBLENZ, Germany-Acting on
- few gentle suggestions from
the Army authorities cafe proprie-
tors of Coblenz have fixed the
prices of beer.
Hereafter thirsty Yanks who
filter into the cafes for thirst
quenchers will be charged IL
pfennigs for domestic light beer
in small emporiums and 40 pfen-
nigs for the original Pilsener in
the first-class houses.
Those Yanks on the ground, who
are affected by the price-fxing,
hail the move as a reduction in the
High Cost-of-Beer. Ex-Yanks
back home will probably picture
the Germans handing out stems
and paying the Yanks to drink
them.
At present it takes around 40
German marks to equal one real
dollar. Since it takes 100 pfennigs
to make a mark, about 1000 pfen-
nigs have the purchasing power of
one of the aforementioned iron
men.
At this rate, and figuring eco
nomically on drinking light beer
at II pfennigs a glass, the lowly
buck manages to knock over
333 1-3 beers for one dollar. If
he is splurging and shaking his
thirst with original pilsener he only
gets 100 drinks for his dollar, or
at the rate of 1 cent a drink.
Before the new scale of prices
was fixed he was paying slightly
less than 2 cents in the best cafes
and now refers to it as he recent
period of the High Cost of Beer.

CHILD SCALDED
BY HOT COFFEE
Hands And Arms d
Baby Terribly Burned
At Crate

John d. Williams, infant son of Mr..
and Mrs. T. w. Williams, of 525 East
Furlow street, was terribly burned on
the arms and hands by boiling coffee
in an accident yesterday morning that
may cost the child's life.
The family had only recently moved
to Americas and their furniture has
not yet all arrived AS result they
have been attempting to keep house
with what articles were on hand. Yes
terday morning coffee for breakfast
was being made at the fire place when
the baby, little more than year old,
toddling about the fire, fell and
knocked the boiling pot from the fire.
The pot was overturned and the boil
ing coffee was hurled on the out
stretched baby arms. On account of
the wintry weather, the child was
clad in rather heavy long sleeved gar
ments, which were soaked with the
hot fluid, and before these could be
snatched from his arms the flesh from
the hands almost to the shoulders was
scalded deeply. Medical aid was sum-
moned and the great pain relieved
somewhat, but it was said today that
temperature had developed, causing
some concern.
Little John is the baby in a family
of five children. Mr.. Williams is an
employee of the Singer Sewing Ma
chine company, and is to be connect
ed with the Singer agency here.
