INDICTs OWN PARTYs RECORD

1t would be difficult to imagine
a more scathing Indictment OF
the present Republicans
ed Congress than that uttered
by one of its own leaders, Rep
resentative James R. Mann OF
Illinois, former Republican floor
leader in the House. Speaking
on the floor of the House recent
ly, Mr.. Mann said:
Congress has been in almost
continuous session for almost a
year. The Republican side has a
reasonably large majority. If
we say to the country, as we will
say if this rule passes, that the
Republican majority in a years
time has been unable to bring In
legislation and perfect it where
it is subject to amendment, it &C
knowledges it's impotency and its
incapacity. 1t will be called to
the attention of your constituents
on every stump that the Republi-
can party has not enacted much
reconstructive legislation, and
it will be told in addition that
the Republican majority of the
House was afraid to enact legis-
lation under the ordinary rules
and was incapacitated from fol-
lowing the ordinary practice" :

MADE OFFICIAL TESTER
III OF DAIRY COWS
JOHN H. DUGGER, JR:, GRADUATE
OF COUNTY SCHOOL GETS THE
APPOINTMENT.

John H. Digger, Jr., of CulleOka
has recently been appointed official SUI
| pervisOr of all register of merit COW
testing done in Maury county. Mr.
Digger graduated last May from the
department of vocational agriculture
at the Central High School here. The
appointment was made by Prof. 7. c.
| Mccormick, instructor of agriculture
under the Smith-Hughes act at the
| Central High School, acting under the
authority of the dairy division of the
University of Tennessee, which has
charge of this work in the state. .,
r. Mr.. Digger succeeds Baxter Jones,
also a graduate of the Central High
School, as official tester. Mr.. Jones
has supervised all of the tests made
in the county for the past two years,
and has earned a reputation with the
dairy division at the University as one
of the most efficient testers in the
state Mr. Jones has had to give up
testing on account of other work.
Mr.. Digger has begun his testing
work on the herd of Nimrod Porter,
on the Pulaski pike, who has six
registered Jerseys on test under Mr.
Jones supervision for some months
He has also received notice to make
a test of two other Jersey herds, one
belonging to Mr.. Webster of Mt.
Pleasant. Mr. Duggr is in a position
to give as much of his time to this
work as it requires, and he intends to
be live wire in the growth of regis
ter of merit testing in Maury county.
When Jersey COW makes a butter
fat record which entities her name to
a place in the register of merit for
the breed, her money value and that
of her offspring is greatly increased
thereby. and her owner is richly re-
warded for his efforts to give her this
distinction. Likewise. when a county
has large number of cOys on the reg
lister. that county is well on the way
to prosperity. There is much splendid
Jersey blood in Maury county which
would give a good account of itself if
given the opportunity of an official
test Already several Tennessee cows
have made unusual records. and Ten
nessee is attracting notice as a Jer-
sey state Maury county has as fine
a chance as any other county to be-
come the center of this attention
which the state is receiving from the

Demonstrates Ability as Organizer

With Lawrenceburg Team During
Years 1919 and 1920.
(From Fridays Daily Herald. J


A fresh supply of fuel has just been
delivered to the Hot Stove League in
the announcement that Luther Cook
is to manage Columbia's team in the
Northern Alabama-Ten league
in 1921.
If the dope is not overturned Column
bia will have a baseball pilot who
knows the game from A to lizard, a
man who knows how it feels to hear
the cheers of the fans Of the metrop-
oils sounding in his ears, and then
how it seems to hit them to the tall
uncut-for Cook who is mentioned
for the managerial berth was former
ly member Of the New York Yankees
of the American league, and there
made great rep for himself as an out
fielder before he developed a Char
leyhorse' which sent him back to the
minors. VAL sg
d In 1919 Cook organized a team Of
semiprofessionals at Lawreneeburg
and went through the entire season
with only one or two defeats. His
team made record which made base
ball fans in every section OF the cOun-
try sit up and take notice. In fact he
developed players on his team so rap
idly that scouts for organized ball dis
organized his team by picking stars
from his aggregation, and in 1920,
although playing great ball he had
quite a number of defeats marked
against him, although his team made
a great showing. winning perhaps two
thirds of the games in which he start
ed.
AS manager and organizer Cook
has demonstrated considerable ability,
and those directing the fortunes of
Columbia in the new league in cast
ing about for a man to give the team
the right kind of send off decided upon
Cook, who will be given a free hand
in selecting his team, and getting a
start for the season, so long as he
keeps within the limit prescribed by
the regulations governing the league.
1t is expected that Manager Cook
will at once begin casting about for
available players who he will order to
report in Columbia some two or three
weeks before the. season opens next
year.
1t is not known when Cook will
come to Columbia, but it is expected
that he will spend the winter here.
