last Saturday morning, Southern
Statesmen" and "A Topic of Today"
seem at first widely separated but as
they were given strong cable ardent
patriotism was formed combining the
two.
The first talk on our statesmen was
given by Mrs. H. A. Cant and gave
many intimate and personal glimpses
of those men who have led the South
in public service. Mrs. A. E.. Sheldon
chose for her topic "The Industrial
Crisis in Europe" and gave a most in
forming and inspiring talk on the
alarming conditions in Great Britain,
Spain, Italy and other lands of the
old world. By comparison, our own
land seemed blest beyond expression.
The library committee presented
some interesting reports which were
discussed and disposed Of.

SAINT .PAfRICK's e !. Y.
DAY NOT OBSERVED
MANY WEAR THE GREEN, HOW.
EVER, AND IRISH STORIES. l,
PROVE TO BE ORDER OF DAY.

"St. Patrick's day In the mawrning"
was not generally observed in Column
bia today. However, there was quite
bit of shamrock in evidence, and
many wore green ties, sweaters, socks
and other articles of apparel used
only in honor of the patron saint of
Ireland
Here is one of the best Irish jokes
of the day in circulation:
at is said that way back in the
good old days, Ireland was plagued
with frogs-there were frogs every
where, and in an effort to rid the isl.
and of this croaking pest, snakes were
imported snakes did the work
we'll. and soon the island was ridded
of frogs, but the snakes proved even
a worse pest than the grogs, and mon
keys were brought in to kill the
snakes. The monkey cure was effec-
tive and soon there was not snake
to be found on the islande but great
guns. the monkeys had multiplied by
leaps and bounds, the Emerald Isle
was overrun with them, and the Irish
set about to kill them off. This work
was accomplished finally, ard now
having disposed of the monkeys the
Irish are killing each other.

Upton TO the NINTH DISTRICT
Shelby County Alone viii Compose
the Tenth Congressional District of
Tennessee and Eighth VIII Have a
Big Democratic Majority.

Special to The Herald.
NASHVILLE, Tenn, March 17.-Un-
der three redistricting bills that were
passed by the house on Wednesday
afternoon the eighth congressional dis
trict, which last fall elected a repub-
lcan to congress, is made forever safe
for democracy. The two banner dem
ocratic counties, Hardeman and Fay
cite having aggregate majorities OF
about 5000, were taken from the tenth
district and placed in the eighth. The
majorities in these two counties
would have overcome the tidal wave
in the eighth last november and sent
Gordon Browning, democrat, to con-
gress with a couple of thousand votes
to spare.
The house did not end by lacking
these two counties on to the eighth.
II invaded the tenth district again and
took Upton county therefrom and add
ed 1t to the ninth district. T his leaves
Shelby county alone to compose the
tenth district. 1t is the first time in
the history of the state when a single
county had sufficient population to
make a congressional district.
There were feeble protests from the
republican minority over the passage
of the bills, which eontended that it
was politics but the democrats in
sisted that the-prime purpose of the
bills was not to make the districts
democratic. but to make them more
equal in population.
The house also passed bill provid
ing for the holding OF a constitutional
convention to amend the constitution

DAIRYINC NOW
GREAT INDUSTRY
IN MAURY COUNTY
LATEST CENSUS REPORT SHOWS,
THAT FARMERS RECEIVE
THOUSANDS DOLLARS.
SOME INTERESTING FIGURES
Nearly Two Million Gallons mix Pro-
duced in Maury County During 1919.
Been Great Increase Since That
Time. = 4

During the past eighteen months or
two years, the dairy industry in Maury
county has increased by leaps and
bounds, but in 1919, the latest date
for which complete data is available,
shows that the dairying industry of
the county brings in thousands of dol
lars annually to the farmers of the
county.
The latest. federal census bulletin
shows that in 1919 the production of
milk in the county amounted to 1,S20,-
241 gallons, of which amount 215,42S
gallons were sold. Cream sales re-
ported totalled 22.175 gallons, while
1857 pounds of butter fat were sold.
1t was reported that 7,476 pounds of
butter were made on the farms of the
dbunty, and of this amount 155,426
pounds were placed on the market.
There was but little cheese made in
the county, or exactly as given in the
census report, sixty-seyen pounds. II
was estimated that the value of the
dairy products of the county for the
year 1919 amounted to s32S.154, of
which amount sl55,S29 was sold.
1t was estimated that the average
production of milk per COW was 242
gallons per year.
Since the taking of this census
many fine herds of Jerseys have been
built up in the county, and many dai
rymen have increased the herds they
reported on in 1915. And too, since
the taking of the last census another
creamery has been established in Co
lumbia, taking care of many thous
ands of pounds of butter fat each year
