MAURY CAPTURES
THIRD PLACE IN
EXHIBIT.
;;eefAvRY ! Go uNT. RoDUcTs WIN
5000 AT STATE .FAlR-MoNr-
GoMERY TAKES FIRST PLACE.
MUCH CREDIT DUE ABERNk1HY
County Agent and His Committee
Worked UntiringIy for Success of
Exhibit-WiIl Likely Mean an In
crease in Membership for Council.

Maury county's council of agricul.
ture exhibit took third place and a
prize of 5000 at the big state fair in
Nashville yesterday, which is a splen-
did honor in view of the large number
OF exhibitors, no less than eleven coun-
ty councils of Middle Tennessee hav-
ing exhibits entered.
Montgomery county was winner of
tie first ribbon, which took prize of
$400.
| Davidson county took second place
with prize OF $500, while the dim
pie of the Universe" came third, with
Bedford county in fourth place, win
ming prize of $100.
The Maury county council exhibit
this year was the best in the history
of the county, and this was largely
due to the splendid and untiring work
Of County Agent S. G. Alternately, and
members OF the fair committees of the.
council, the mems committee having
been headed by Miles Murphy, while
Miss Flora Vaughn had charge of the
Women's work.
Mr.. Alternately and members of the
committee have been busy for months
assembling the finest of all the fine
farm and garden products of the com-
ty. They have had the hearty cooper
alton of the community clubs of the
county. These clubs entered whole
heartedly into the plan of capturing a
prize at the state fair and they work
ed untiringly to that end. Frequent
ly the clubs met at night to strip and
sheaf grain, which was so conspicuous
in the display
The collection of this display requir-
ed a great deal of time. When the
products were located, the question of
getting them to council headquarters
then arose, but the county agent solv-
ed this with his Ford He travelled
hundreds of miles in search of fine
corn, potatoes, beans, wheat, peas,
pumpkins and other products. These
he would pile in his car until it looked
almost like moving farm and haul
them to Columbia. When enopgh pro-
ducts had been secured, Mr.. Aber
nathy met with the committee which
designed the Maury county booth, and
this was especially constructed to hold
the display sent from here.
The decoration of the booth, that is
the draping of the booth, was done by
Frank l.. (Deacon Smith, advertising
manager and decorator for the Maury
Dry Goods Company.
1t is impossible to give credit in tbs
story to every one who took part in
making the exhibit a success and prize
winner. Maury countians have pulled
together as never before in this exhi-
bition. They have gotten a great deal
more than a 5000 prize at the state
fair. They have discovered the value
of cooperation. and no live farmer
who saw the council exhibits at the
fair could have failed to be impressed
with the work of the county council Of
agriculture, and it is expected that the
membership of the Maury council will
be largely increased as a result.

TOO FAT TO FIGHT

There are any number of good reasons that
might be found for calling off a war. Being licked
is the most popular and the most convincing; but
there are Others. The weather is often an un-
answerable argument for the suspension OF hostli-
ties: lack of funds is another There doubtless
many more good reasons for turning swords into
plowshares and for using feldpieces to decorate
the village green, but it remains for the trouble
some Moroccan bandit. Raisuli to offer to adjourn
his war against the Spaniards because he is suf-
fering from excessive obesity If this report is not
slandesous propaganda-an attempt of his enemies
to make the Moorish chieftain ridiculous in the eyes
of the world-it may be argued with reason that the
strategy which attempts to starve the enemy into
submission is all wrong It is undoubtedly a fact
that ~ hungry enemy will <be much more trouble
some than one that has eaten more than Is good
for him. Obviously the strategy should be reversed
He should have food thrust upon him; he should
be overfed, especially with the things which one
cannot eat and grow thin. Let him be made a
glutton and he is as good beaten. Once let the
unwafy enemy discover that his waistlne is irrevoc-
ably and ridcuously lost and, like Raisuli, he will
sue for peace. This is an interesting subject for
speculation that Raisuli has raised by his uncon-
ventional act: Perhaps he has unconsciously re-
yealed the way to permanent peace. world
pe9pled exclusively with men of great girth would
