WASHINGTON, Dec. S.-Europe
will go to smash and American will
face serious trouble unless the Yer
sailles treaty is completely rewritten
and overhauled," Senator Borah, of
Idaho, declared today in launching a
campaign, which he hopes will lead
to the revision of the pact.
Borah urged the calling of an inter-
national conference or Great Britain,
France, Japan and Germany to re-
write this treaty so Europe can Live.
'The revision of this treaty is the
only way to save Europe" Borah as
serted in an exclusive interview with
the United Press. unless Europe
can be saved and restored to normal,
the United States will not only stand
but small show of collecting more than
eleven billion dollars due on her war
loans, but American prosperity will
suffer through the failure of foreign
markets" he pointed out.

THOUSANDS SAVED
FOR CHRISTMAS
EIGHT HUNDRED MEMBERS WILL
DRAW $4,000 FROM COLUMBIA
BANK G. TRUST CO.

Twenty thousand dollars is being
paid out this week by the Columbia
Bank & Trust Company to the eight
hundred members of the Christmas
savings club. AS a result of this club
all of these people will have some
Christmas money, saved during the
year in very small amounts to spend.
otherwise many of them doubtless
would be without cent of ready cash
at this season of the year when coin
is so much needed.
Several years ago the Christmas
saving club idea was instituted b.
Cashier George Y. McKennon, of the
Columbia Bank & Trust Company, and
the club has steadily grown each year
in numbers and in the amount saved.
In spite of the depression during the
past year there has been no decrease
in the savings for Christmas. Checks
for the savings club members are be-
ing mailed out.

LOCAL CORN CLUB

TWENTY-FIVE IN THE COUNTY
FINISHED THEIR ACRE ExPE.
RiMENTS.
NOT ALL HAVE REPORTED YET
But 1t Is Known That Splendid Yields
Were Made Far Aoove the General
Average for Their Communities.
Record Was Made in 1911.

TWENTY-FIVE corn club boys in the
county completed their work this year,
which is an aunusually good record
and one that is most gratifying to
Prof. Sidney G. Alternately, the county
agent. However, full and detailed re.
ports have not yet been received from
quite all of the boys who are known
to have finished their experiments and
gathered and weighed their corn.
Prof. Alternately requests every corn
club boy who finished his acre and
has gathered the corn to report at
once full data Each member was
furnished with book upon which to
enter the record and data of the corn
crop, the date Of planting, the meth
ods of cultivation, the cost of various
items of growing it, the yield on the
acre, etc. Nearly three-fourths of the
boys have already furnished this data,
but no announcement of the winner
can be made until they all come in.
While no new records are going to
be made in the county this year it is
known that the general average yield
of the boys in the corn clubs was far
above the normal production of their
communities. Very few of the yields
reported will run as low as twelve
barrels to the acre and it is under
stood that they will run to around
fifteen barrels to the acre. Just as
soon as all the reports are in County
Agent Alternately will give out the de-
tailed information.
The highest yield of corn ever ms1e
in Maury county, and which was also
a state record was made in 1911 by
John Van McKibbon, of Culleoka,
when he made 169 and fraction
bushels of corn on an acre, winning
the 500 offered by the Columbia
Board of Trade and the state prize
which was free trip to Washington
and was given by the late Senator
Robert Love Taylor. That record has
not been since then surpassed in this
state although higher records in other
Southern states have been made

INTERSTATE COMMERCE CON-

MANY EMPLOYEES ARE DROPPED
Number In Service of Railroads Has
Been Reduced by Half Million
Workers During the Past Year, Aid

By JAMES T. KOLBERT.

UNITED Press Staff Correspondent
WASHINGTON, Dec. Slower rail
road rates in the near future were
toreseen by the interstate commerce
commission today in its annual re-
port to congress.
After general declaration that the
railroad situation is showing steady
Improvement, the commission said:
I'VE are hopeful that with an i'm
proyement in the volume of traffic
and with further adjustment of op-
Grating costs in harmony with pre-
vailing tendencies, substantially
lower level of rates and fares will be
compatible with the rule Of rate max
ing which has been prescribed by con-
gress and at the same time permit an
adequate maintenance of the proper
ties.''
This is taken to mean a general
reduction in rates will follow the COM
prehensive rate inquiry now in pro-
gress under the direction of the com
mission, The cut is. expected to come
early next year.
The report reveals that the railroads
have dropped from their payrolls a
half million employees within the last
year.
This has greatly aided the rail
roads in making a financial recovery

Officers were without the slightest
clue this morning as the search for
the robber or robbers was started.
nothing was left behind by the bold
burglar which would help to establish
his identity.
d. D. Little, of the John A. Walker
u Company, stated to representative
OF The Herald this 8morning that he
had been unable to determine the ex-
act amoutn of his firms loss. 1t was
known, however, that savings stamps
to the amount of at least 500 were
taken, and it was thought probable
that there was another 500 worth of
these w. S. S. in the safe, but Mr..
Little could not be positive as to that
Only small amount of cash was Sc
cured at that place, the amount being
possibly, five or ten dollars. The
greatest loss at the lcoal yard Office
probably was the breaking of the ~
side doors of the safe. The fact that
the combination of the outside doors
of the safe had been worked success
fully and without the use of force
gives rise to the belief that the bur
glar must have been a professional
yegg or safe opener.
Mr. Little says it would have been
an easy matter to gain entrance to
the office with a skeleton key, as the
door was fastened with an ordinary
lock.
At the coal yard Office the burglar
left insurance policies, valuable pa
pers and a few postage stamps unmo-
Tested.
1t is not known how the office of the
Chero-Cola Company was entered, but
the safe was opened without the use
of force, Strengthening the belief that
the robber "was onto his job" Here
the burglar secured cash to the
amount of fifty or seventy-fve dol
lars. A. NJ. Beck, a member of the
firm stated to a representative of The
Herald that he'had placed some TWEEN
ty or twenty-five dollars in the safe
about T o'clock last night after col
lections had been turned over to him,
The loss at the Chero-Cola Office was
fully covered by insurance.
At the Office of the Riverside Lum-
ber Company on North Main street
the robbers secured little for their ef-
forts. Entrance to the building was
secured by breaking a window glass,
turning the lock and raising the win
dow. The safe was. not opened, but
desk was pried open and some five
or six dollars in small change taken.
