If there were any poor or destitute

FOR PROTECTION
OF CAME OBJECT
OF ASSOCIATION
WAR ON HAWK is PROPOSED BY
NEW ORGANIZATION IN THIS
COUNTY.
fLEM THOMAS THE TREASURER
Dues Are Fifty Cents Per Member and
the Funds VIII SBe Used to Pay AL
Bounty for the Killing Of the ''Blae
Darter' Hawks Of the County.
(From Fridays Daily Herald

(From Fridays Daily Herald.)
1t is proposed to form a game pro.
lection association composed of the
sportsmen, farmers and their wives
in Maury county.
The object of the association is to
protect the quail, rabbits and poultry
from hawks.
A"Blue Darter" hawk which knows
no closed season, will destroy more
quail in the course of a year than any
half dozen shooters will kill during
the shooting season, and any farmers
wife can tell you the toll taken from
her flock Of poultry by the chicken
hawks.
Each and every man and woman in
terested in this matter is requested to
pay the treasurer of the association
an initiation fee of SO cents and the
money will be used to pay a bounty
Of $500 for every head of chicken
or blue darter hawk sent to the treas
urer. Small dues may be necessary
from time to time, but the cost will
be insignificant compared with the
benefit received.
Hawks can be easily killed by the
following method: In rainy Or foggy
weather the hawks do little flying; the
mist making it difficult to see the
birds, and the hawks sit in trees
waiting for clear weather A man on
horseback carrying an umbrella land
gum can ride right up to shooting
distance and drop the umbrella and
the hawk in the same second. The
writer of this suggestion has killed
scores of hawks in this way.
All persons interested are request
ed to pay the initiation Zee of fifty
cents to Elem Thomas, treasurer, and
the farm boys are invited to get busy
winning the bounty of $l.00 per head

Big Help to the City, as Well as

(From Fridays Daily Herald.)

tFrom Fridays Daily Heraldo
The announcement that a new bus
line between Columbia and Centre
vile, which appeared in The Herald
on Thursday has created great inter
est in business circles here, and it is
indicated that business men will fos-
tel the movement in every way posi-
BILE.
Columbia merchants are most en-
thusiastic over the benefits to be de
rived from the bus line. It is declared
that as result of the operation of the
bus between Columbia and Franklin
that shoppers have been brought to
Columbia who have not been here for
years., and that it has opened up new
trade territory to the city.
The proposed line to Centreyille
would open up an even bigger and bet
ter territory and it is believed that
hundreds of people of Hickman county
who are now going to Nashville to
shop would turn to the logical mar
ket, Columbia, and that business here
would be largely increased as the re,
suit
b. l.. Jones, who came here from
st. Louis Wednesday to look the stu
alton over, with the view to putting
the line into operation, said to rep
resentatiye of The Herald that pas
senger fare of five cents per mile
would be charged, with a minimum of
ten cents. This would enable the PEG
pie of the Shady Grove and Williams
port sections to come to Columbia
cheaper than they can operate their
automobiles for the same distance.
According to present plans the new
bus would make two complete round
trips daily between the capitals of
Maury and Hickman counties, and
would make direct connection with
the Franklin bus.
Business people are promising their
heartiest support to Mr.. Jones in the
event the line is put into operation.

name all the committee chairmen,
such as finance, publicity, etc. 1t is
expected that this they will do at an
early date.
The meeting was presided over by
the retiring chairman, Gilbert M. Orr,

One of the first problems presented
to the new officers is the question OF

Old Time Pre-War Price on Glass of

and There viii Be Reductions In
Passenger Railroad Tickets.
(From Fridays Daily Herald. }

After Saturday, December 81, the
price of glass of dope" in Columbia
will drop to the old time pre-war figure
of five cents. That will be the last
day on which the war tax of one cent
will be collected. It will be another
sign Of the return of mormalcy." Not
only is tn ewar tax on coca-cola off
but the war tax on all other soda wa
ter drinks will be repealed as of Janu-
airy /. There will be no two or three
cents tax on the high priced drinks
hereafter.
During the past two or three years
the price of coca-cola has fuctuated
decidedly in Columbia. 1t sold at one
time for as much Jas seven cents and
in some places in the stae it went as
high as ten centsta glass but now for
many months it has been six cents
here. 4H
Not only will the annoying and ex-
pensive war tax on soda fOumain
drinks be off after the end of this
year, but there will be no more inter-
nal revenue stamps on toilet articles,
such as perfumery, cosmetics, etc,
nor on proprietary medicine. Tie
price of these several articles will be
reduced to the amount of the tax that
has been levied upon them.
Likewise the motion picture show
taxes where the admission fee charg-
ed is dime or less, will be removed
after the first of the year The tax of
eight cents on passenger tickets will
also be off and that means a reduction
in the passenger rate on round trip
tickle from here to Nashville of TWEEN
ty-seven cents, not an insignificant
amount. On a ticket to New York it
would mean a cut of something in the
neighborhood of $4 "
Dealers m stamp taxed or war taxed
goods will breathe a sigh of relief
Not only is it task to collect all of
the various taxes, but then they must
be kept apart from the other receipts
of the store and detailed and regular
exports made to Uncle Samuel They
are going to be relieved of good deal
of annoyance and work after Janua-
ry l.

CHRISTMAS RANKS AS ONE OF

BUSINESS MOSTLY SUSPENDED
Few DRINKS Reported and Whatever

Just AS Generous As Ever.
{ From tuesdays Daily HeraId.)

(From Tuesdays Daily Herald.)
No Christmas day has ever been
more generally observed in Columbia
than was Monday. Business was prac-
tically suspended. The stores and
shops we're closed throughout the day,
very few people came to town, in fact
it was justlike Sunday so far as the
crowds ON the streets were concern.
ed.
a Really the people OF Columbia and
Of the entire county for that matter,
enjoyed double holiday at Christ
mas. They observed the day on Sun
day and they simply continued the hol-
day through Monday if it was Decem-
Der Goth. The event was appropi.
ately observed on Sunday with special
services at the churches. The birth
of Christ and its meaning and signifi-
canoe to the world was the theme OF
sermons in every church. At several
of the churches ambitious musical pro
grams appropriate to the day were
rendered.
There were of course no social func'
tions ON Sunday, but family dinings
were the rule. There were many re-
unions of families not only in the city
but all over the county 1t was the oc'
casion for bringing together the mem
bers who have left the parental roof
for school or to enter business.
The big dinners continued over Mon
day and it was observed in the homes
just like Sunday had been without any
real social functions. From reports
that have come from all over, the coun
ty Old Santa Claus was just as gener
Gus, perhaps a bit more so, in his re
membranes as he had ever been in
the past. In fact many in position te
know, declares that all former records
for giving were surpassed.
The poor were remembered with an
open hearted generosity that does full
credit to the spirit of the occasion
Perhaps more was given to them in
Columbia than ever before since char
ity was organized. Not only were al
remembered but there were SO many
agencies engaged in the laudahle task
that there were of necessity many du
plications in the work.
Reports from. everywhere indicate
that there was as little drinking ant
| carousing es ever known at Christmas
| time. But very few DRINKS were visi
BILE in Columbia from Saturday a
noon until Monday night and the same
conditions are said to have existed
in other parts of the county. If there
was any drinking to excess it was done
privately. Good order was observed
everywhere.
