Every person, firm or corporation
who during the past year paid to any
! individual or firm or corporation a
| thousand dollars or more for salary,
annuity, rent, interest or other pur-
! pose, is required to make report of
| that fact to the commissioner of in

upon which to make them they should
write at once to the office of f. b.
Craig, collector, Nashville and obtain
them. A penalty is provided for fail

Craig for it.
Eyedy person whose income dur

FOR REDUCTION OF
NUMBER SCRUB SIRES
COMMITTEE WILL VISIT FIFTEEN
COMMUNITIES OF COUNTY
IN FEBRUARY.

I'VE are going to put the serb sire
out of commission in Maury county
this year. said James r. Williamson,
of Old Homestead Farm, chairman OF
the general campaign committee OF
the organization recently perfected
to bring about the laudable result.
During the second week of Februa-
ny the committee plans to visit every
community in the county where there
is a sub-organization, about fifteen in
number When the committee visits
a community they will take recruits
from that place to the next cOmmuni-
ty to be visited. That program will
be carried out in the visit all over the
county.
Mr. Williamson stated that he, to-
gether with the other members OF the
central committee, would devote the
entire second week of February to
the work of the organization. They
hope during the year to reduce the
proportion of scrub sires in Maury
county to an inconsequential number.

! + Il
this morning, as the cases We're being
prepared for trial. The offenders and
their friends who gathered to witness
the fun" almost filed the assembly
room Of the city hall Among those
present was Mayor Cherry who an
nOunced that he had come as the at
torney for the arrested violators or
the traffic ordinance, and that he was
going to recommend that all those
charged with this offense, with the ex-
ception of speeding, be permitted to
go with a warning.
After consultation with those cit
ed for trial, City Attorney J. Shelby
Coffey announced that all parties had
submitted their cases and agreed to
accept a minimum fine. Mr.. Coffey eX-
planned that the police commission
had recommended minimum fine for
the first oifense, accordingly each one
who submitted was required to remit
$40 to cover the Offense.
+ Among the number appearing for
trial were several of the most prOmi-
nent citizens of the town and county.
In many cases the arrests were made
for parking on the wrong side of the
street heading into the curbing in
stead OF backing i'll. and failure to
turn to the right in passing the silent

of the unfamliarity of the drivers of

the city, but that he had given fair
warning. and the period Of leniency
is about over, and those who would
avoid heavy penalties should acquaint
themselves with the city laws
The police commission was satisfied
with the manner in which the cases
were disposed of this morning. They
realize that it is impossible to have
the ordinance enforced TO the letter
for several days. but the start had to
be made somewhere.

are fully determined that speeding

Buying Pearl Shell
In Australia Urged

Il appears to be advisable for Ameri-
can buyers Of pearl shells to negotiate
directly with the Australian market,
of which Broome is the center, rather
than through the London auctions, &C.
cording to the Bureau Of Foreign and
Domestic Commerce.
Although in the past some she'll has
been bought directly for American &C.
count. mostly in Broome, Western Aus
tralia, and some haa leen dircctly OK
Eorted from Broome and from Thurs
day Island to Japan, the bulk Of the
shell has been marketed through the
London auction sales in London. II
nas been said that tho purchase Of
shell through the London auctions adds
about Sdo to the cost over that Of shell
purchased in Broomo directly for the
American account.
American firms, which ars neRcti-
ating directly with the Australian
market, maintain local buyers In
Proomc, and as ahey require shall
they open credits with the Union Bank
"r the Western Australian Bank and
thelr respective agents operate under
such credits and ship the goods az soon
as possible to New York via Snpa
pore and London. The usual buying
commission 10 said to be 2h Der cent.
IT is suggested that American firms
desiring high grade shell would save
considerable expense by encouraging
me sorting Of she'll locally and avoid
Ing the waste involved In purchasing
unassorted she'll, Of which d percepti.
pie part may bo undesirable, and doinx
ths sorting at destination after pnvin0

To Explain Banking
Association Plans Campaign to
Eliminate Mystery

With l39 of the i4l mutual savings
hanks in New York State participating.
the Savings Banks Association Of the
State of New York, acting on the sug'
gestion of George " Mclaughlin, Sue
perintendent of Banks. has decided 70
launch an educational campaign 70
take the mystery out of banking"
John J. Pulleyn. president Of the
Emigrant Industrial Savings Bank ana
mead of the Savings Banks Association
in a letter replying to Mr. McLaugn-
Inns request that such campaign DO
conducted. says in part:
Every member OF this association
agrees with you that the time has come
when the veil OF mystery should % oe
lifted from the banking business. We
bankers did not realize how little the
public really knew about their own
great savings bank system until we
were confronted with published sta'e.
nIents. which gave the impression tnas
mutual savings banks have stockhola-
ers who share in the profits of the
banks; that savings banks invest inc
cepositors' money in speculative Sc
curities; that dormant accounts event,
ua!ly find their way into the bankers
pockets, and number OF other state
ments derogatory to mutual savings
hanks, which obviously were based On
misinformation."

Factors Seek to Avoid Dis.
crepancy in Quotations
for Merchandise Of Same
Quality; Orders Retarded

Within the next few weeks cotton
goods prices will be more firmly estab-
lished on q uniform basis, if plans now
being considered by trade leaders are
carried out No small part of the pres
ent lack Of confidence in prices, it IS
felt, is due to tho fact that they lack
uniformity.
Various selling agents. often han
ding similar classes of goods of about
equal quality, have brought out vary
ing prices. Among converters the dis
crcpancy in prices for goods of simlar
quality is even greater. This has upset
the calculations of many buyers, with
the result that anything like methodi
cal order placing for the coming sea
sons requirements has been retarded
1t 10 conceded that many Of the price
discrepancies are the result of indi-
vidual mill conditions If mill found
itself with large number of concella-
tlons and great amount Of goods IN
hand, the tendency has been to liqu-
date without regard to replacement
costs. Other mills, more fortunately
situated, are basing their prices on &C
tual costs
1t is now felt that most Of the forced
liquidation is past, and that the time
has come to fix prices on basis of
cost. Throughout the trade this has
been discussed by prominent men. not
so much in organized meetings as over
the luncheon tables and other casual
meeting places. From now on it is
likely that there will be more concerted
action on the naming of prices than
has been seen for some time
Agents for mills making their own
prices say that their principals are TAX
ing the agents views into greater con-
sideration in the making OF new prices.
During the last few months complaints
that mills. were making prices without
consulting selling agents, who felt that
they knew the market possibilities bet
ter than the mills owners, who were
concerned chiefly with production, were

Plan to Stabilize Prices
In Cotton Goods Considered
Retailers Must Dig
For Trade, Is Vie,c

Digging hard for business dur
ing the next few months will be
the salvation of the country's re-
tail trade, in the opinion of
Thomas H. Brandon, of tho
BrandonDurrel Company, dry
goods, cloak, suit and millinery
retailers Of South Bend, Ind.
"The trouble throughout the
country" he said, "is that too
many merchants are pessimists
and are always looking for and
talking Of hard times when they
should be going after business
that much harder. Our sales
never were as large. Every
month so far this year has shown
a substantial increase over the
same month year ago, and 1919
showed a cash increase Of sales
over 1918 Of between 20 and 80
per cent. I might say that in
November cash sales surpassed
those Of December, 1919, the
largest previous month.
"As for spring business, we
are buying merchandise as we
need It, In November we had
our cloak buyer in the market q
week at two different times
Within the next thirty days most
OF our force will be in the mar
ket. l am looking forward to a
larger spring business for Dur
concern than we had year ago.
l believe that q great many peo-
pie held off buying u year ago.

has taken place, and, the people
knowing this. are satisfied. and
