eEFSscovETED FREE TRIP TO
scHicAGo EXPOSITION.
MAKES UNUSUALLY HIGH SCORE
'nter-County Contest for Journey to
the Live Stock International Excites
Much Interest and Produces Many
Contestants.

teen, daughtersof Mr.. and Mrs. S. H
Whltesell, of Berlin Marshall county
and member of the girls club of Berlin.
! was the winner of the first
prize in the baking contest held at
the Middle Tennessee farmers conven.
tion on Wednesday, The contest was
a close and exciting one between rep
resentatives of more than half dozen
counties The first prize won by Miss
Whitesell is trip with all expenses
paid to the international Live Stock
Show, the worlds greatest event of
its kind, at Chicago next December.
The prize was given by the Ford
Flour Company, of Nashville, and the
flour for the demonstration was fur
nished by that company
The contest was between a represen.
tative from each county that entered
the contestants having been selected
N their respective counties by an elm
ination preliminary contest. The high
average made by Grace Whitesen
evoked much comment fro mall The
contest was in baking biscuits, bread
and mullins and out of possible 100
points this little girl made score of
ninety-four. The baking took place
in the cafeteria of the High School and
was in progress all day, the judging
being done late in the afternoon Miss
Guthrie, expert of the division of ex-
tension, was the judge in the contest.
The winner comes from Marshall
county where Miss Oma Worley, of
Maury county, has long been the DEM
onstration agent. The preliminary
contest in Marshall county was held
under the direction of Miss Wor,ey
and the latter was very much graft
fed that her county should have re-
ceived this notable distinction. @ai'7a

years, of Giles county, of which Miss
Ann Haynes is the agent, won the
second ribbon. She too made a high
score Mary Wilson Partlow, of Will
son, Miss Mary F. Anderson, home
agent, won the third honors with
creditable score.
The other contestants and their
counties are as follows: Lucy Ed
mundson, Montgomery county; Nell
Twitty, Lincoln county; Martha Save
ley, Sumner county; Frances Sargent,
Davidson county; Julia Roberts, Will
hanson county. Miss Sargent, the
contestant from Davidson county, is
Maury county product, being a grand
daughter of the late James Sanders,
former. justice of the peace from the
third district and ex-Confederate sol
dier, and her father being from Saw
dust Valley. ~ @tts7
This county had no entry as there
was no preliminary contest here, due
to the failure to secure the services
of a home demonstration agent. .,7,4h

CITY POLITICS
Get TING WARM;

TING OUT CANDIDATE.
BUT SEVERAL BEEN MENTIONED
Fred latta and w. S. Beasley Arc Be.
ing Urged BY Friends to Head
Ticket in Opposition to Present Ad.
ministration.

Although the municipal political POI
has not yet reached the boiling point
Ill are agreed that the water is be
coming warm, and new fuel is beine
added to the fire underneath daily.
The Board of Mayor and Aldermen
themselves dumped the largest load OF
tuel under the pot. a few days age
when they increased the tax rate OF
the city. thirty cents on each hun
lred dollars worth of property, 1t is
claimed by the board that this in
crease was due to the falling off shown
n the amount of personal property as.
sessed. 1t was further stated that one
third or more of the total revenue of
the city went into the interest and
sinking fund of the city. Be that as 1t
may, the increased tax rate has Gre
ated genuine demand for economy in
jhe administration of municipal gov.
ernment and has madeSit certain that
the present board of mayor and alder
men will have opposition if they seek
of their first administra-
ton.
Various groups of business men
have suggested possible candidates
for mayor and business mems tick
et' for aldermen, but each prospective
mentioned has been back
ward about breaking the ice. No less
than a half dozen have been men
toned for mayor among the most
prominent are Fred Latta and W. s.
Beasley 1t is known that friends of
both these gentlemen have urged them
to make the race, promising them
whole hearted support .in the event.
they would consent to ruin, but up untitT
this time neither 6f them has been
able to secure his own consent to
make the race. sG
In any event the contest is sure to
prove an interesting one, for Mayor
Cherry has made friends during his
TWO years of office who hold that his
administration should be endorsed,
while or the other hand there are
many dissatisfied with the admins
ration of the city's business affairs
and will be satisfied with nothing but

MUNICIPAL CONTEST
TO AID CANDIDATES
WILL MEAN THE PAYMENT OF
POLL TAXES HERE BEFORE
THE PRIMARY CONTEST.

Candidates for county offices in the
coming November primary are strict
ly in sympathy with the suggestion Of
a municipal contest here this fall, now
that the county democratic primary
board has imposed a poll tax qualitica-
tion on the voters. If there should be
a red hot contest for city officers it
would mean heavy payment of poll
taxes which would qualify the voters
for the November primary without
any expense from the county candi-
dates This, however, would apply
only to the voters in Columbia. Those
in the country precincts will have to
be looked after The last date on
which poll taxes can be paid toqualify
for the primary will be Sept II and
ere that time Trustee Burns expects
to have rush of voters to settle their
delinquent taxes to the county.

SO DECLARES THE COMMITTEE
renewed Loyalty is Pledged to the In.

opment Of Home Life Urged by the
Middle Tennessee institute.

PledGing renewed loyalty to the in
stitutions of America, endorsing the
disarmament conference, declarine
that legislation alone cannot remedy
the economic ills of the farmers. and
appealing for the operation of the
farms on business principles, the res
olutions presented this morning by the
committee to the farmers institute
were amcng the most conservative
and constructive ever adopted.
The development of the power pro
ject at Muscle Shoals was urged upon
congress, speedy readjustment OF
freight rates and a declaration against
the increase of charges of any public
service corporation in this period of
depression was voiced. The splendid
resolutions adopted were the work of
committee composed of such veteran
farm leaders as F. H. Dunklin, OF Sum-
ner county; Edgar j. Graham, of Hick-
man county; c. w. Cowan, of Humph-
reys county, L. C. Cunningham, of
Montgomery county, and Newton H.
White, of Giles county
The following are the resolutions:
"The farmers of Middle Tennessee
in annual convention assembled do
resolve as follows;
Il. In this period of re.adjustment
when the prices paid for farm pro-
ducts are altogether out of line with

urge that the farmers of this favored

Poll taxes must be paid sixty days
before the holding of the primary,
