report by telegraphing to the police
of that place. but the reply received
from them would indicate that no
such a crime had been committed and
that no fugitive from justice was
wanted. The action OF the Penn
sytyania state police. however. puts a
different light on the subject.

numerous reports from residents at
South Platnfield that the man now be-
ing held is a bad character. Accord

AMule's Shame.

J.W. Covington had fine mule
to commit suicide last week by hang
ing itself ON a hay rack. No mot
i've is assigned for this rash deed, as
he was straight in his aecountswith
the company, and his family life was
said to be ideal, his wife having
never been to Reno, and his children
having given him no trouble. As
his health was excellent, desponden-
cy could not have been the cause.
The only conjecture is that he was
probably mortified to death by the
way his fathers kith and kin in the
United States senate handled the

BIG PROGRAM FOR
FARMERS. OF MAURY
MUCH WILL BE ACCOMPLISHED
DURING 1921 THROUGH RE-OR-
GANlZATlON OF CLUBS.

The more general lining of land
upon which legumes are soWn, in
creased clover and alfalfa acreage,
and the elimination of all scrub sires
in the county are among the planks in
the platform of the Maury county
council of agriculture for the year
1921. and in the reorganization of the
several community clubs of the coun-
ty within the next few days, these
features of the years agricultural pro-
gram will be especially stressed by
County Agent Mclean.
Definite programs will be arranged
for each community in the county, and
with these plans before them, the
farmers Of the county will pull to-
gether as never before for the agricul-
tural advancement of the county.
An effort is being made to get every
farmer of the county interested in
his community organization, and to
get him to pull with the progressive
farmers of the county in the effort to
put Maury county in the forefront.
1t is believed that as result OF the
reorganization of the clubs the mem
bership in the county council of agri-
culture will be materially increased,
and that when the time rolls around
for the next state or county fair, Mau,
~ county will have the greatest eXhib-
it of agricultural products ever dis
played in the history of the state
There is no reason why this should
not be accomplished, according to
County Agent Mclean, and with ia
yorable weather conditions Maury
county will make a strong effort tC

.DA|RYlNG EXPERTS
WILL ATTEND MEETING

Experts from the division of extern
sion and the United States depart
ment of agriculture will attend the
meeting of Maury county dairymen to
be held shortly for the purpose of or
ganizing a COW testing association for
the county. Farmers and dairymen
from every section of the county will
also be present, it is indicated from
the interest being manifested in the
meeting soon to be held, and it is be-
lieved that Maury county will have
one of the Invest organizations of its
kind in the state.
The expenses of the association will
be borne jointly by members of the
association who have cows to test.
The principal expense will be the sal
ary of the official COW tester. From
information which became available
at the recent meeting of the county
agents at Knoxville it was learned that
Maury county now has more record
cows than any county in the state
and should make remarkable progress
in the dairying industry with intelli-
gent cooperation Of the dairymen OF
