According to w. c. Aydelotte, who

After short time in Virginia these
Maury county organizations returned
to Tennessee and were commanded

OF Shiloh, Missionary Ridge, Chicka-

bloodiest struggles. of the Tennessee
campaign in which thousands were
slaughtered.

To eliminate fraud in the marketing
OF fruits and vegetables by the substi

full measure prices is one of the prin.
cipal objects of specialists of the Unit

now making study of the hundreds
of different types of containers in use.
For example, baskets which contain
seven-eighths of bushel are frequent
ly used as bushel baskets, it being
difficult to detect the short measure
In farmers bulletin 1896 from the
bureau of markets, just published. by
the department, the specialists dis.
cuss the need for standard containers
for fruits and vegetables and describe
how the public is sometimes defraud-
ed because. of the many types and
sizes of containers now in use.
Since the passage of the federal
standard barrel law, in 1915, there has
been a steady progress in the work of
eliminating unnecessary and deceptive
sizes from the list of containers used
in marketing fruits and vegetables,
says the bulletin. The passage of the
United States container act, establish
ing standards for grape baskets, berry
boxes, and small till baskets, follow
ed in 1916.
The serious lack of uniformity of
increases the cost of mar
keting, say the specialists. because of
the greater expense of manufacturing
a large number of unnecessary styles
aud sizes and by breakage in transit,
which is sometimes directly attrib-
utable to the difficulty of loading odd
sized containers. There are in com
mon use at present about 10 sizes of
cabbage crates, 20 styles of celery
crates, 80 lettuce crates or boxes, so

the proposed telephone rate hearing
to be held by the Public Utilities Com
mission at Nashville on May "a, This
committee will be named at later
date by the president and charged
with the duty OF making a thorough
investigation of the question so that
the committee will be fully informed
at the hearing.
It was stated that the same ques-
ton would come before the county
council of agriculture tomorrow and
that it was desired that all of the Or
CARNATIONS of the city cooperate to
see that the county was properly rep
resented at the hearing. President
Beasley and J. II. Dining expresses
the opinion that the way.to prevent
deficits now was by reducing expenses
and not through rate advances.
AT the meeting of the club today ad-
dresses were made by Henry Futon
cashier of the Phoenix National Bank,
and Joe Frank Porter, president of the
county council of agriculture. Mr., Full
ton spoke on trade expansion. lie
pointed out various ways in which the
people of Columbia could increase the
trade of the city, laying special stress
on, the need of cooperation with the
people of Hickman and Lewis coun'
ties in building connecting links be-
tween the highways of these coun-
tics and this county.
Joe Frank Porter expressed the ap
probation of his organization for the
invitation extended to him. He ex-
planned the objects of the farm organ
i5ation, declaring 1t to be one of the
broadcast and most patriotic organiza-
lions ever launched He said that the
chief problem with the farmers now
was increased efficiency and a reduc-
ton of expenses, as under existing
conditions their expenses were run
ming ahead of their incomes. He did
not expect any material increase in
the latter and therefore pleaded for
decrease in the expense accounts.

Great TRIUMPH
WAS CARNIVAL
OF the. ALUMNI
HUNDREDS PRONOUNCE 1T ONE
OF MOST ENJOYABLE EVENTS
IN HISTORY SCHOOL.
WAS BIG FINANCIAL SUCCESS
Parade Is Laudcd by All Who Witness,

lFrom SATURDAYS Daily Herald

(From Saturdays Daily Herald)
All Columbia and goodly portion
OF Maury county apparently attended
| the Alumni carnival at the county
high school on Friday night. The
most ambitious and stupendous enter
tanment ever offered by that institu-
ton was staged at the high school
with the best local talent in the world.
The entertainment was a huge success
from every viewpoint. Not only did
the crowd exceed expectations, but
eVedyone had a rip roaring, jolly good
time. There were no dull moments
| and there is today nothing but praise
for the faculty, pupils and former pu-
pills who were responsible for the cid
time circus with all of its many and
varied accessories.
The parade was as creditable one
OF its kind as ever wended its way
with majestic tread through the histor.
ic streets of this good city. 1t was
free to the world, but was pronounc-
cd by all who saw it as altogether wor-
thy of the admission price charged at
the gates of the circus There were
floats and features to represent all of
the different departments and actlvi-
ties of the school and they were arts
tcally gotten up. The prize went to
the freshman class which rode in
battleship very effectively gotten up,
but there was not poor feature in the
parade. This display made by the az
rlcultural students is worthy of spec
al mention. Latin was duly inferred
in coffin that rode in the parade.
The costuming was splendid and the
parade aroused the greatest interest
aud enthusiasm as it wendell it's way
through the principal streets of the
business section. 1t was Witnessed
by enormous crowds. The Columbia
band marched at the head playing in
spring tunes. Old folks became
young folks when they got to the
show grounds and everyone, regard
less of age enjoyed themselves. .....
The side shows were good and they
did a rushing business. Popcorn, pea
nuts, lempnade, other drinks and ice
cream, whistles, etc, were dfspens
ed and many dollars were taken in
from the sales. 1t would require more
space than The Herald can give to
enumerate all of the attractions of
this most gorgeous attraction but SUI
flee it to say that it reflected undying
glory upon the alumni and added to
the ever growing fame OF. the Central
High School, Maury county's greatest
and most useful Institution. ,..
AS result of the carnival several
hundred dollars are today reposing in
the Golfers of the association. These
funds are used for the altogether laud-
able purpose of furnishing a scholar
ship at a university to deserving
and worthy graduate. The scholar
ship is awarded by the faculty.
