MAURY COUNTY BOYS
ENLIST|NG IN ARMY
RECRUITING RECORDS SKATER
EO-TWENTY-FoUR MEN Sc.
CURED IN NOVEMBER.

From Tuesdays Daily Herald
The lure of the uniform. the GER
tainty of employment, the opportunity
to travel, and to learn a good trade
is proving most alluring to the young
men of Maury county, and during the
past year hundreds have enlisted in
various branches of the army.
During the month of November the
enlistments at the Columbia recruit
ing station reached a total of twenty
four, and already this month sixteen
recruits have been accepted here for
service
Not only has there been a revival
of onlistments in Maury county, but
the desire to enter the army is sweep
ing the country, and in November. "a
226 men were accepted for service in
the several sections of the United
states. During the first ten days of
the recent month 10.400 recruits were
secured for the army, an average of
more than 1000 per day. At the pres
ent rate of enlistment it is believed
the army will soon be recruited to its
full authorized strength.

this he will operate two machines,
each milking thirty COWS. They will
be operated by electricity.
Speaking of his dairy this morning
Mr. Redding said that with this ma

STOP BUSINESS
COMPLETELY ON
CHRISTMAS DAY
PLANNED NOW FOR COLUMBIA
TO ENJOY A REAL HOLIDAY ON
THAT GREAT DAY.
MEANS TWO DAYS RECREATION
Saturday and Sunday Will Give Every
One Chance to Rest From the Siren
uous Activities Of the Pre.Christ
mas Activities.
(From Tuesdays Daily Herald)

From Tuesdays Daily llerald)
From present indications Christmas
day will be the most generally OBJ
served Christmas day that Columbia
business has ever known. Already the
leading merchants Of the city are
planning to close their houses on Fri
day night, December "a, and have
them closed tight until the following
Monday morning. Christmas day com
ing as it does on Saturday enables the
folks to get two days of rest. And it
is being planned to let all of the
clerks and help in the sops and stores
enjoy the recreation.
In the recent past many of the Co
lumbia stores have been open on
Christmas morning in order to ac
commodate belated shoppers, but
they have found that this is unneces-
sary and during the last year or two
there has been an increased apprecia-
tion of the day locally and more and
more the business men abe coming to
observe it.
Shop early is the slogan now. Few
seemingly realize the fact but after to-
day there are just nine more trading
days before Christmas. Five days of
next week and four Of this. Within
that time presents must be obtained
for the little ones, for the old ones,
for the friends and for the relatives,
close and distant.
1t is probable that the volume of
Christmas buying will exceed that of
any former year in the history of
America. 1t is freely predicted in the
business centers that more money will
be expended for presents this year
than ever before and he local shopping
so far indicates that this will be the
case in Maury county With all of
this talk of hard times and financial
stringency the country is more in har-
mony with the spirit of Christmas
than ever before and charity offerings
will exceed any in the past.

VINCENT FOR CONGRESS
In this day and age when the pro-
ducer is looking toward betterment
for himself it might be well to ask
the opposition candidate whether he
believes in continuing the policy of
the past eight years of tariff for
revenue only" Look at the live stock
industry today! Prices should be
good for cattle with all the other me-
cessities of life in a most flourishing
condition. Look into the matter. The
present administration invites and
encourages imports to the United
States in meats and products. Take
for instance the packers who domi-
nate in the South American territory
as well as in the United States. They
are well satisfied to be able to ship
their products to America free from
all duty and enjoy the benefit of the
high prices that prevail now for their
finished Canned and other goods.
We need protective tariff; and we
need a congressman who is in accord
with the administration Merle d.
Vincent, with his keen mind and
aIertness to see into the needs OF the
people of this district should be sent
to washington.
