NEW FEDERAL JUDGE FOR
MIDDLE TENNESSEE

With provision included in it
creating an additional federal Judge
ship for Middle Tennessee, the bill
authorizing the appointment Of 70
additional federal judges passed the
Senate Friday.
When the bill went back to con
ference the second time the Middle
Tennessee iudgeship provision was
reinstated. Senator Shields had this
provision stricken out Of the first
conference report on the bill, but when
it came back to the Senate in its
present shape he did not oppose its
passage.
There is no doubt as to favorable
action on the mart of the House.
John j. Gore, Of Cookville, Putnam
county. chairman Of the Republican
state executive committee, has been
proposed as the new Judge.
BY vote of 81 to 16 the Senate
adopted the conference compromise
on the bill which was passed last De-
cember by the House and last April
by the Senate. The conference report
now goes before the House for final
disposition of the legislation, which
authorizes the president to appoint
"a more federal district judges, dis
tributed over the country, and an adj
ditional Judge for the fourth circuit.

NoRTH sHELRY coUNTY FAIRl


The North Shelby County Fair AS
ISOLATION he'll its first fair Tuesday
under the present name It was held
at Rosemark. the four communities,
Bolton, Brunswick, Macedonia and
Rosemark participating.
The various departments were well
represented and they showed that
more intgsest was being taken in the
fair and that more people were
striving to produce quality products.
Much interest was shown on the part
of the farmers themselves.
The farm crops department was
one of much interest There were
many entries for the various classes
and the products showed quality.
Good corn, we'll fruited cotton and
excellent lespedeza hay were notice
able. The seeds and fruits were Of
high quality and showed that the ex-
hibitors had exercised much care in
the growing and selecting Of these
products. The garden products were
there in good numbers and made a
very creditable show indeed.
The woman's and children's de-
partments were Drumming full" Of
interest. The various pieces Of needle
work represented many hours OF
patient work in their preparation.
The women who did not see the cake
baked by the 13-year-old boy missed
great treat. :,
The livestock department was well
represented in the various classes.
Many good examples were on exhi-
bition and showed that the farmers
are interested in their livestock.
The farmer who came to the fair
and did not see the Poland China sow
and pigs missed something he will be
sorry Of when he hears his neighbor
talk of her and the pigs. The pigs
lacked five days of beng q month
old, but show a month and a half or
two months growth. A ration OF
skim milk and corn did it.
There was a splendid crowd present
to take part in the activities OF the
day. The Judges were delayed in get
ting to the fair grounds and the
did not begin until near
noon. At this time much interest
was aroused by the farmers who had
animals on exhibition. The crowd in
creased until there were something
near 1900 people present. There
we're visitors from manNnearby COM
and visitors from distance.
We are looking forward to bigger
ind better fair next year.

SETTING SIGHTS ON A RIFLE

 If you wish to attach peN, sight, first remove the two screws in the grip, or tang, of the rifle, and screw
 on the sight with the screws fur

 "DANCERS IN THE DARK" l By Dorothy Speare, George H. Doran,
 company publishers, New York
 city:
 With a challenge in every page of her unusual story. Miss Speare | has had the courage to write novel about the doings of the modern young | girl. She has missed no gesture. overlooked no infection. The crea- ! ture who is the despair of her elders. ! the bewitchment of her contempora- ries, the dark doubt of her serious i elder brother is here in full-length portrait.
 The ways of the modern young woman have been "exposed' recently In several noted novels. But the exposition was masculine and incom- plete. Miss Speare may shock some of her readers by the frankness with which she describes the flapper at home. on her own in the world in col 1 lege and out; but the core of her | story is sound and wholesome, Be- meath the very feverish exterior ot the young men and women of today she sees qualities that are no less de- | pendable than those of other times and other manners.

 Seven years have gone into the making of this great newspaper novel by the author of "The Clarion =
 Into the life of Banneker, an ob- scure young station agent of the southwest comes a girl-and oppor- tunity. How he goes to New York and climbs, rung by rung the ladder. of Success until he has made himself the dominant figure of the newspaper world and the storm center of the conflicting forces with which New York seethes; and how in the end he finds that he has worshipped false gods, and fashions, for himself an en- tirely new conception of success, is told in a swiftly moving and dra- matic narrative interwoven throu6 h. out with a bright thread of romance.
 Success is so typically American, so filled with the surge and clangor of the struggle for fame and fortune. that one feels in it that very pulse beat of this land. But more than that.-it is story of human struggle and achievement, epic In scope, thrili- ing in plot, and of absorbing interest from the first page to the last.
 THE DOOM TRAIL"
 By Arthur D. Howden Smith. Bren-
 tano's, publishers, New York city
 The years 1724 and 1725 were oi vital importance in developing the destiny of North America, althousa a they are not stressed in any histor- ical work of authority. Peace then reigned between France and Britain had reigned since the Peace of Utrecht in 1713 and was to con tinue until in 1744 the two cour- tries took opposite sides in the strue- gle over the Austrian Succession. On the, surface they were years of ordinary pioneering endeavor. Act ually, however, they witnessed a stern contest for the dominance oi the fur trade. and both the protagon- ists. Frenchman and Englishman were persuaded that the winner ot the trade-war. all things being equal must win the inevitable military cou- flict for control of the continent 'The Doom Trair' seeks to shed light on this unwritten chapter of Amer ican history.
 "The Doom Trail' is book tc read and read again. Its strength is the strength of America itself and you will be better American for having read it.
