Is
Marking On Egg
Found at "CuNy''
From Fridays Daily Herald

From Fridays Daily Herald.)
A whole flock of question marks
hover in the air down on Rural Route
out of Culleoka as the result of the
finding of an egg by Mrs. A. H. Par
IRISH. 1t was not the egg itself which
flushed the covey of question marks,
1t was what was on it.
Standing out was the bloodred let
ter wv" as perfect as If it had been
printed by an artist. NO amount Of
washing, or scrubbing erased the let
ter. Mr.. Parrish showed the egg to
number of neighbors In search of
an explanation, but none was forth
coming.
Had the, egg been found during the
latter days of October, or the first
day of November, the explanation
would have been. simple--the letter
would have predicted the election OF
w. w. sometimes known as Woodrow
Wilson, (this egg evidently was brok-
en- before 1t was laid) or the letter
might have stood for Warren, and it
would have been safe to declare the
hen forecasted the name of the next
president, but the egg was found this
week, and as tht war is over, and no
more in prospect during the democra-
tic administration, the "W" evidently
does not stand for "War"-nor does
the w. stand for want for so long
as American hen is on the job there
is no want.

M'LEAN GETS FINE RECEPTION
FROM SCHOOL BOYS AND MANY

County Agent Declares That Success

County Agent Mclean visited the
Sullivan school In the sixth district
on Thursday and addressed the pupils.
He was given every assistance by ].
S. Beasley, principal of the school,
who, Prof. MceLan declared, was one
of the most progressive teachers and
who had as live school as one could
find. The boys manifested the great
est interest in the corn club work and
If they can secure the cooperation
and support of their parents he was as
sured a corn club of not less than
twenty members.
Mr.. Mclean believes that he Is CO.
ing to have more corn clubs among
the boys of the county this year than
he has ever had. At all the schools
he has visited he has received proffers
OF support from the teachers and
many parents have shown an inter-
est ana nave agreed TO assist their
boys in the we~k and to furnish them
land and team.
It is not so much getting the boys
interested, Mr.. Mclean says, but the
difficulty is in getting the parents to
cooperate. Unless the parents do
this, furnish the land, agree to take
an interest and to allow the boys the
teams to work their crop and the time
to do it, there will be no chance to-
get boy enrolled. If the parents
would line up with the teachers and.
the boys Mr.. Mclean thinks that he
could organize seventy-flve of these
clubs In Maury county. He will cons
tihue his work with the schools for
several weeks, visiting them at every.
opportunity.

AS the spring season opens, like
the birds at nesting season begin to
make their nests, those who have had
the building bee in their bonnets are
beginning to make plans and arrange
for the big building campaign that
seems to be a certainty this spring
and summer.
Horace Rainey, one of the largest
property owners in and around Co
lumbia, has commenced clearing off
and leveling down his lots in West
End, just outside the city limits on
West Seventh street, preparatory to
the erection of three modern bunga.
lows. 1t is understood that Mr.. Rain
ey will erect these three houses &C.
cording to specifications of the rent
ers, They will be equipped with ev.
cry modern convenience and will be
of the very latest type of architecture.
1t is also understood that Mr.. and
Mrs Gordon Cowie will erect a mod
ern dwelling on their lot in Athenae.
UNI Place, and that DR.. and Mrs. Rob
ert Pillow will erect a modern dwell
ing on their lot fronting on School
street.
Mr.. and Mrs. w. s. Fleming, Jr.,
are also planning to build a modern
bungalow on their lot in Riverside.
Mr.. and Mrs. Allen Sloan are also
making preparations for the. erection
of modern residence on their lot in
Riverside.
These are only few of the many
building plans that are now under
consideration by the citizens Of the
city They realize that to get what
they want, 1t must be built, and each
house that Is built and occupied by
its owner, makes it possible for the
renter to more readily find roof
over his family's head.
This only means the spreading out
and rapid development of the city
and making 1t possible for more peo-
pie to come to the city and get the
advantages of the citys schools, priv
ileges, etc., as matter of fact the
past three or four years it has been
almost an impossibility for stranger
to come into the city and get place
to live, unless he went to the hotel or
some boarding house.

BEWILDERED SENATORS
SEEK LIGHT ON
TREATY
Conflicting interpretations of Four
Power Pact Disturb.

Washington, Dec. 22.-Bewildcred
by the conflicting interpretations
placed OH the four-power Pacific
treaty by President Harding and
Secretary Hughes. Republican sen-
ators. who were at first inclined to
accept the pact without question,
Thursday continued to demand that
it be clarified textually; or with res
ervations. so that there may be no
further dispute as to just what it
does mean.
Following the leadership of SEN
ator McNarry. Republican of Ore
gon, several Republican senators rep
gesenting other Pacific coast or
western states, declared that they
would be unwilling to support the
treaty unless reservation were at
tached to il which would clearly and
Enthusiastically, stipulate that the Unit
ed States was not to go to the aid of
Japan if she was threatened with
armed aggression.
Suppose Germany Russia. China
should S, 10 or IS years from now
form an armed alliance and attck
Japan, would the United States be
expected to send her soldiers, sailors
and marines to help fight Japan's
battles" McNary queried. Not if
have anything to say about it. If the
treaty as it now stands can be inter-
pretcd in any way to mean such
thing or to mean that we are to help
preserve the political and territorial
integrity of Japan herself, then |
think a reservation should be adopt
ed by the senate to the effect that we
do not so interpret the treaty"

Wattcrson, one Of the most bril-

OF the country, suddenly developed
an acute case OF bronchial pncu-
monia about 9 o'clock Wednesday
morning.
For some months the aged editor S
heart had appeared to his physicians
to be weakening, although he seemed
in the best Of spirits. The weakened
heart and Watterson age of 81 years
made il impossible for him to with
stand the attack aud his physicians
said heart disease was the direct
cause OF death.
Colonel Watterson was conscious
until about half hour before his
death. Then he quietly summoned
his wife and told her he believed the
end was near. Shortly afterwards he
lapsed into unconSciousness

The Inixup over the question of
how far the treaty involves the Unit

senate more deeply than anything

ratio proposal on the opening day.

Republican side. They are inquiring
if President Harding is to undergo

The situation has been further
