the aspect of the tariff situation. His
cooperation with democrats who op-

defeat it, now its enactment is deemed
almost certain.
Senator Penrose also said he would
urge the house members to pass the
tariff measure promptly as a means of
relieving the farmers" of the coun-

FOR INCREASE IN
LEGION ME MDERSH|P
ALL OF THE OLD MEMBERS ARE
URGED TO RENEW THEIR DUES
FOR THE COMING YEAR.

Plans will be announced within the
next few days for the drive for an in
creased membership of the Legion,
but the first task Is to secure renew
al OF the dues of those who are al.
ready members OF the organization.
The dues paid for last year expired
on the first of the year and they must
be renewed at an early date. The cost
is only So year and this includes
subscription to the American Legion
Weekly. Unless the dues are renew
eu the Weekly will not come to the
members of the Legion.
There are probably between 500 md
600 men in the county eligible. for
membership in the local post of the
Legion, but so far not over 200 Of
them have ever been members. The
county will probably be divided into
sections or districts with commit .ees
In each to canvass for members.

GOOD RECORD MADE
.-s :. =. IN STAMP SALE HERE
APPROXIMATELY 5000 WORTH OF
ATTRACTIVE LITTLE STICK
ERS WERE SOLD HERE.

Approximately 10000 of the attrac-
tive little anti-tuberculosis Christmas
seals were sold in Columbia and ada
cent. territory during the days just be-
fore the, holidays, according to Miss
Elizabeth Whitthorne, who had charge
of the stamp sale in this county. For

ted to state headquarters, and will add
to the splendid total realized through

the county run to more than 5000,
which is considered splendid re-
port for this county.

or FARM AGENTS
INCREASED APPROPRIATIONS RE-
PORTED FROM MONDAYS
MEETINGS IN DISTRICT.
TWO MORE ARE YET 70 ACT
But There ls No Reason to Doubt Fa-
vorabe Response in Maury and Da-
wilson Countics-Prof. Dean Is
Much GratifieG

Despite the news of economy that
is sweeping over the country county
courts in Middle Tennessee that act
ed Monday increased the appropria
tions for farm demonstration work
by a total OF more than 81 600, accord
ing to reports received by Prof. j. NJ
Dean, the district agent.
In Hickman county the appropria-
tlon had not expired and motion to
renew it was lost by one majority
However, the work will be continued
with the unexpired appropriation and
when that is expended it is believed
that the court will not permit the
work to be dropped.
In Montgomery county an appropri-
alton Of $2,500 was made for the farm
demonstration work this year. Law
renee Robertson, Williamson and
Giles county continued their appro-
priations with slight changes An
increased appropriation was made in
Humphreys county. ...
There are two more counties to act
at the January terms and they are
Maury and Davidson where the courts
meet next week There is no doubt
expressed of a favorable response in
these two cuontles
Prof. Dean is naturally very much
encouraged over the response that the
county courts made. This was due
largely to the growing appreciation Of
the value of farm demonstration work.
This has been shown in the remarka-
BILE development of fine live stock in
the state in recent years and of the
increased yields per acre of many
crops.

SALES OF REALTY
SHOW FALLING OFF
DURING PAST YEAR
HOWEVER, MORE MAuRY PROP
ERTY CHANGED HANDS IN
1920 THAN IN 1918.
new RECORDS ARE ESTABLISHED
Largest Volume of Real Estate Busi-
ness Ever Transacted in Any One
Month Was Done in January Of the
Year Just Closed.

Although real estate transfers re-
corded in Maury county during the
year of 1920 are considerably more
thans q half million dollars under
those of 1919, the record year of all
years, the realty sales last year
amounted to considerably more than
the total for 1918, which up until that
time had set a new record for the
volume of business.
During the year just ended nearly
four million dollars worth of Maury
county real estate changed hands, or
exact $3,650,S60, this compares with
the $4,233,990 business done in the
year 1919. In 1918 the total realty
sales for the year amounted to but
So ,100,950, which set new record
This was shattered by the year fol-
lowing, but the year just ended has
fallen behind, and it now appears
that the record established in 1919
will endure for some time still.
The enormous business done in 1919
was due largely to the hundreds Of
auction safes throughout the county,
when all kinds of lands were sold at
inflated prices. The volume of busi-
ness done in 1920 shows trend back
ward toward normal conditions.
The first month of January, 1920, es-
tablished a new business volume re-
cord for the county, when $1,116,020
worth of Maury county real estate
changed hands. February business
also showed an increase over the cor
responding month of 1920, the slack
ening of business beginning in March,
and continuing unti October. when
that month of 1920 showed an in
creased business over the cores
ponding month of 1919, as did, the fol-
lowing month of November. Howev-
er, there was "a disastrous slump in
December, as may be noted from the

City officials declare there will be
no increase in the budget appropria-

1t will be noted it is, expected, that
there has been no reduction in the
appropriations sought, despite the re.

IT.. had been expected that there
would be considerable discussion over

which at one time threatened are dis
sipating, and that the meeting of the
board will be harmonious. It is de-
clared now that the Board of Educa-
tion will not seek an increased appro-
priation for the coming year.
An effort will be made by the city
administration to carry the municipal
ity through 1921 without having to
increase the tax rate, or to borrow
additional money To do this, close
collection of taxes will be necessary,
and plans to collect all delinquent
taxes are being formulated. Some of
the biggest taxpayers of the city have
not yet paid last years taxes.
So far as has been reported no
new ordinances, or other business Of
great Importance are scheduled for
consideration at the meeting of the
board tomorrow night
