GAMERS HOLD
DEMONSTRATION
BRyAN7'S STA.
MARSHALL AND MAURY GIRLS
LEARN MOST SCIENTIFIC
METHODS OF CANNING.
PICNIC DINNER is SERVED
Hundreds of Members of Clubs From
Two Counties in Attendance-Dem.
onstratlon by Agents of Marshall
and Maury Counties.

The inter-county canning demon
stration at Bryant's Station Wednes-
day, conducted under the Joint super
vision of Mrs. Kate M Grady, home
demonstration agent of Maury, and
Miss Oma WOrley,. Marshalls agent,
was in every way splendid success.
The demonstration was witnessed
by hundreds of interested members
of canning clubs of the two counties
Club members were told of the re-
sponsibilities that now rest upon
them in the fight against the high cost
of living. They were told of how they
may be Of vast benefit to their coun-
try and to the nation in saving every
possible can of food. They were told
that production must be increased,
and extravaganza curtailed.
Great enthusiasm was manifested
and it is believed by the agents in
charge of this, the first inter-county
demonstration of this kind ever held
in Middle Tennessee, that lasting ben
efits will be derived from the meet
ing. In addition to the real work of
capning, genuine good time was en-
joyed A good old fashioned picnic
dinner was enjoyed, and the spirit of
goodfellowship was everywhere in ev-
idence. Gamers felt that they were
united in a common cause, against a
common enemy, and the bond OF
friendship already existing between
the counties was strengthened as a
result of the meet
It is not unlikely that similar dem.
onstrations in which other adjoining
counties will be invited to partici-
pate will be announced by Mrs. Cra
dy in the near future.

OTHER ENTRIES
FOR THE HOUSE
APPEAR LARGELY
DR.. SAM HAYS EXPECTED TO BE
A CANDIDATE FOR RE-ELEc-
TioN AS REPRESENTATIVE.
LATHAM MAY ALSO MAKE RACE
While There Is Some Talk Of J. O..
Cheek, of the Fourth District, Get
ting Into the contest-Assessmen
Law May Be an Issue.

Although no candidate has been
mentioned against Judge Looney for
the senate, it is by no means certain
that his running mates are going to
have such easy sailing. At least two
and perhaps three formidable candi-
dates for the house are looming in
the offing.
1t is almost certain that DR.. Sam
Hays will be candidate for re-elec-
tion. DR.. Hays voted and worked
against the existing road law and if
he is candidate he will be pledged
to its repeal Then DR.. William J. La
than, druggist and farmer of Guile
Okla, is being importuned by large
number of friends all over the county
to make the sacrifice that race for
the legislature would entail.
In addition a small boom has been
launched for ]. o. (Docque) Cheek, of
the fourth district. Mr.. Cheeks
statement of his ideas of taxation so
impressed members Of the county
board of equalizers that several of
them promptly urged him to make the
race for representative and pledged
their support.
1t is not improbable that the state
assessment law will be an issue in the
campaign. The gubernatorial race
may also figure in the disposition Of
legislative honors, particularly should
Crabtree develop any strength in the
county. Judge Looney is and has al
ways been a supporter of Governor
Roberts and it is presumed that his
associates on the ticket are likewise
supporters of the governor.
The last day upon which candidates
for the legislature may qualify will
soon be here but there is still sufti-
cient time for developments that may
mean an interesting contest.

WELL KNOWN CONFEDERATE
SOLDIER BEING lMPORTUNEO
TO ENTER RACE FOR REPRE-
SENTATIVE.

Voters of Maury county may have
a final opportunity to vote for a Con-
federate soldier for office. A. l..
Emmerson, one OF the veterans who
wore the gray, stated this morning
that he was being urged by friends
from all over the county, to enter the
race for the democratic nomination
for representative. Mr.. Emerson said
that he was not anxious to get into
the turmoil and strife of politics, but
there were centain duties and obliga-
tions that a good citizen could not
honorably shirk and that he was al
the service of the people as he had al
ways been. Mr.. Emerson knows the
needs of the people of the county and
would make creditable member O
the legislature.

SAN FRANCISCO, June 24.-Pres.
ident Wilson considers it unneccessa.
ry for the democratic platform to con.
tain a prohibition plank, or one on
the independence of Ireland, it was
learned this morning. On the league

nothing less strong than an affirma.

ification Of the treaty without Grip

Senator Carter Glass, Of Virginia,
who is slated to head the resolutions

here that he bore no draft from the
White House, but added that he knew
the Presidents mind. He declined to
reveal any inkling of what the Presi-

White House, from which Glass went
directly to the train for Frisco.

BETTER PROSPECTS
FOR CORN CROP NOW
FARMERS MORE OPTIMISTIC
FOLLOWING SPLENDID RAIN.
PLANTING IN PROGRESS.

According to County Agent Mclean
corn is growing as never before, and
farmers are much more optimistic
over the prospects for a fair corn crop
than they have been at any time this
year. In some sections of the coun-
ty corn planting is still in progress.
However, Mr.. Mclean is advising
against the planting of any variety
of corn that does not mature early.
He is advising the planting Of Wa
bash, Reeds Yellow Dent and other
corn that will mature before frost
falls.
On account of the unusually wet
spring, and the alarming shortage OF
farm labor, not more than seventy-flve
per cent Of the available land OF the
county is in cultivation, IT is estimat-
ed, and Mr.. Mclean is urging that
this land be sown in soy beans, or
peas. These may be sown as late as
July 10 and win produce splendid
yield. and at the same time improve
the land.

FAvORS REPEAL
OF ROAD LAWS
AND TAX BILLS
DR.. SAM HAYS OPPOSED NOW,
AS HE WAS TWO YEARS AGO,
T oGENERAL WHEEL TAX.
HITS STATE ASSESSMENT ACT
Voted Against What He Terms Vi
cious Measure and viii Favor Its
Repeal If e-Elected--Wiil Not
Take Orders From Any Man.

DR.. Sam Hays today announced his
candidacy for reelection to the house
OF Representatives from Maury county.
DR.. Hays declared that he had been
importuned by friends from all over
the county to enter the contest and
he could no longer withhold his con-
sent to do so, that he felt that he owed
it to the good people of the county
who had SO often honored him to
serve them again in the halls of legis-
lation.
DR.. Hays voted against the present
road law and he will advocate its re-
peal. He is unalterably opposed to a
general wheel tax, preferring the act
of 1917 under which wagons and
teams were required to do so many
days work on the roads upon which
the owners lived. He believes that
it would have been better to have
tried this law for two years longer.
This law is known as the Judge Nc
knight law, the late county Judge
having been active in drafting it.
He also stated that he was oppos-
ed to and voted against the existing
tax assessment law, that many of its
provisions were vicious and that he
would either vote for its outright re-
peal or for such amendments as
would make it fair and just law.
He has no sort of sympathy with the
methods that have been used by the
state board to enforce the law. The
denial of the right of the farmers to
have representation on the state
board is one of the most indefensi-
BILE features of the law, said DR.. Hays.
IF | am again honored with seat
in the legislature" said DR.. Hays, Il
will be The Representative Of all the
people of the county. ! will not vote
for any bill merely because the gov
ernor or some political machine ia
vors It, Nor will vote to kill meri-
torious measure because the governor
or some politician wants that done.
My course in the last legislature is
an open book and | cordially invite
the voters to inspect it."
