County Council Drive in Middle
Tennessee

A drive to further the county coun-
ellis of agriculture Of Middle Ten
nessee; get new members for those
now organized; make temporary Or
CARNATIONS permanent; and to form
organizations in counties not having
them at this time, will be started
about October l. The Middle Ten
nessee Farmers Institute in its an
nual meeting at Columbia in August,
went on record as favoring the coun-
| " council of agriculture as the &C
!cepted form for county organization
! and agreed to foster such an organ
ization for each county in that grand
division of the State.
AS an outcome of this action by
the Institute, Col, Harry Berry, the
new president Of the organization
G. c. Burxitt, secretary and Prof.
| G.. A. Keffef, director of the :Divis-
ion of Extension, met with leaders
in some of the county councils at
Nashville recently and took steps to
inagurate a special drive for county
council Of agriculture organization
for that section. The plan is to hold
ret together meetings and picnics lr
the various counties at which lead
ers in other county councils will dis
cuss the value Of the organization
in their county and tell what they
have accomplished. Maury, William
son and Lawrence, Wilson and a few
other counties have already had sucl
meetings and they have proven o.
great value.
Leaders state that there is no bet
: IT. place to engender a spirit OF co
: oreration than at a picnic or meet

{ for organization is strong among tn
: farmers throughout the country. In

note interests of rural people in tn

Putnam County Pig Club Contest

Putnam County Pig Club Contest
The community pig club contest
at Holiday in Putnam county was
held September 10 and II. This
club was organized last spring by
county agent w. G.. Adsmond of
Cookeville and on May %. seven
boys purchased. purebred Duroc gifts
through the banks of the county.
These gifts were 10 TO IL weeks old
and weighed on an average of SO
pounds each.
The feeding contest began at once
and lasted III days or until the day
before the show was to be held. 1t
was their first attempt at feeding
and caring for purebred pigs but the
boys followed the county agents
instructions to the best of their abil-
ity.
Everyone was interested to know
what the final weights would be
WnGH the pigs "tiC elIClCu az bbS
show. Many went above 200 pounds
and the average weight was 1877
pounds. The average net gain was
1874 pounds in Ill days or IL pounds
daily.
The cost of putting on this in
crease in weight was 13c pound
which is slightly less than market
prices for pork. 1t should be remem-
bered, however. that all of these
gifts are purebred and will be used
as breeding stock
This work was don in spite of the
fact that some few "old fogies" in
the community did all they could to
discourage it. The club boys are de-
termined to go ahead attending to
their animals and show them at the
county contest in October.

SIMS SAYS NAVY POLICY COST LIVES AND = m
 BILLIONS
Admiral Declares Delays Caused Sacrifice of
 500,000 Men

WASHINGTON, March 10. - Rear Admiral Sims gave the senate naval Investigating committee today what he asserted was indisputable evil dence that the navy department fell down almost completely during the first six months of the war.
 Numerous messages seItt by the admiral to the navy department dur ing the early days of Americas par ticipation in the conflict and other documents were offered as proof that despite the officers urgent and rcit- erated request that every available vessel be sent to the critical area of submarine activity, the department neither followed his recommends tions nor informed him of it's plans and policies. Six months after the United States entered the war, the admiral said, the department adopted from the first

If the navy department had acted promptly. he asserted, the United States would have had a mill ion instead of 100000 soldiers in France by the time the Germans be gan the great drive on the western front in March, 1918.
 Explaining that his recommends tions many times were made after conferences with the allied naval coGl 1 manders, Admiral Sims said the fail

WASHINGTON, March 10. - An nouncement by Secretary Houston that no further loans would be made 10 the allies was believed tonight to indicate the adoption by the treasury of the policy favored by the debtor nations Of deferring interest pay ments for the next three years or more.
 Under authority granted by con- gross to extend S10,000, 100000 cred it's to the allied nations, the treasury has made loans amounting to $9,659,- S34 ,649. Secretary Houston said that the remainder of the credits author ized would not be granted as 1t was thought sufficient advances had been made.
 Discussing the question, treasury officials said that in view of the eX- change situation and the unsettled economic conditions of the European nations during the reconstruction per iod, it would seem advisable to per init them to postpone interest pay ments for at least three years. Then. it is believed they would be in po- sition to meet their engagements.
 With the interest on the loans com- puted at 5 per cent, the total due the United States yearly is about $D,- 900 ,0OO, an enormous sum for the war.wearied countries to pay at pres. ent.

 Generally Judge Sessions allow ed Helme to follow his idea as to what to swear to and when an exhibit was admitted over objection by MT. Daley and then not read despite MT. Murfin's argument that it should be, the court said:

 RELIEF MEANS
 HEAVY BURDEN
Mondell Declares Money for Cash Bonuses Cannot Be
 Raised by U. s.

WASHINGTON, March 10.-A bond issue to pay adjusted compensation to former service men, Republican Lead CT Mondell of Wyoming told the house ways and meanse committee today, would "endanger a panic, and send prices ballooning" He opposed any relief legislation at this time on the ground that heavy additional taxes would be necessary, whatever plan of relief was adopted.
 'I don't believe we can issue bonds, |" Mir. Mondell said. Extension of fi- nancial relief is utterly impossible un- less the people are willing to stand heavy additional taxes. A consump. tion tax, always unpopular, is the only tax which coulI be collecseu ~-m month to month, producing revenue continuously"
 Representative Swope, Republican Kentucky, urged adoption of bill granting an extra years pay for al those in the service, except those who served less than two months. He es timated such plan would require ar outlay of $1,300, 100000
 Soldier relief also came up in tho senate, where opponents of such legis lation outnumbered those advocating it.
