ARREST OFFENDERS

MAYOR DEOMAN, AUTHORIZES
CITY MARSHAL MCLEAN, TO
ENFORCE ORDINANCE.

Sunday afternoon City Marshall Nc.
Lean by the closest margin ayerted a
runaway. The horse was frightened
by cut out in one of the automobiles
on one Of the principal streets. I'm.
mediately after stopping the horse the
City Marshal went to the Mayor and
laid the matter before him, telling
him the great danger that is coca.
stoned every day by the thoughtless
drivers running their cars through the
streets with these cut outs open.
Mayor Dedman authorized Marshal
Mclean to enforce the law to the let.
ter. To arrest all offenders of this
law. and to prosecute them to the lin.
it Marshal Mclean stated to Her.
aid reporter this morning that this law
would be enforced to the letter, and
that In case where arrests were made
fines would be imposed and collected
When asked why this law had no.
been enforced heretofore, as it had
been threatened, Marshal Mclean re-
piled that there had been a number
OF cases cited to the court and that
in practically all of them the offender
had introduced pleas that the machine
was out Of fix and it could not be
helped. In this regard Marshal Nc
Lean notifies automobile owners now
to see to it that their cut outs are not
out OF working order before they come
to town, as no further excuses of this
kind will be accepted.

GOVERNMENT ALFALFA
EXPERT VISITS THE

CARRIED AWAY WITH THE COUN-
TRY AND ITS NATURAL
ADVANTAGES.
ALFALFA BEST IN SOJIh
Hopes That Some Day He viii Be
Able to Live in 1.-THE Dimple"--
Several Hundred Acres to Be Seed
ed to Alfalfa This Fall.

w. e. Westoyer, alfalfa expert Of
the Department of Agriculture a
Washington, has been in Maury coun
ty for the past two days with County
Demonstration Agent Mclean and has
visited practically all of the alfalfa
fields in the county and pronounced
them the best he had seen in the
South.
The second crop is now ready to
cut and some of the fields have al.
ready yielded two tons to the acre
rom the first cutting and second crop
will do equally as well if not better in
some instances. This is Mr.. West.
overs first visit to this section Of the
South and he expressed himself as be
ing carried away with the country
and it's natural advantages.
In conversation with Mr.. Mclean
Mr.. Westover expressed great wish
that it might be possible for him to
live in this county. "The county is
rightly named, it is the Dimple Of the
Universe" said Mr.. Westover. He
was also greatly impressed with the
outlook for a bumper corn crop, but
he was especially interested in the
alfalfa.
There is now about two hundred
acres of alfalfa in the county, all pro.
ducing, and according to County Agent
Mclean there will be several hundred
more acres seeded this fall. 1t seems
that the farmers of the county are
waking up to the possibilities of alfal-
ia in this country. They realize the
difficulty in getting red clover to stick
and it is almost equally as hard to
get any of the other clovers, except
alfalfa With the proper preparation
of the ground and thorough inocula-
ton, the farmers have gotten fine
stands and the results have been
splendid, far beyond the first expec.
tations.

Undoubtedly this is the greatest

rhe president and the board were not
satisfied at this, but it was the unan-
imous consent of this executive body
that all dues of members now in the
training camps and all members who
have enlisted in the army and navy
or who may hereafter enlist, be sus-
pended and that these members be
enrolled on the membership and that
when they return home they will be
received into the club without being
voted upon.
This does not, however, apply to
those who are serving the government
unless they are outside of the county.
This is just another step taken by this
club in the direction of patriotism and
progress, which is characteristic of
his members an dthe traditions of the
organization.

THE SPIRIT OF CANADA.

There is nothing finer in history
than the spirit that is being shown by
the people OF Canada in this war for
the preservation of democracy and
Christian civilization. Although they
are bound to the old country merely
by the ties Of blood and sympathy,
the people of that country have done
everything that the people Of England
have done in this war. They have
poured out without stint their blood
and treasure. They have been just
as loyal to the mother country as the
people of Sussex or Northumberland
have been.
Already 100000 Canadians have
Joined the British colors. More than
q hundred thousand Of them have
been killed or wounded or captured.
They have distinguished themselves
ON every bloody battle field upon
which they have fought. They have
met every test, responded to every
call and the record that they have
made in France will be one of the
most glorious of all heritages of the
English-speaking people. The Cana
dams are bone of our bone and flesh
sof our flesh. They are the heirs Of
the same heritage to which we are
1he heirs. We can rejoice with them
In their success and grieve with them
in their losses.
There are many things In Canada's
record In this war that we can well
afford to emulate. From present In
saications 1t is doubtful II we win Be
able to set the high mark for service
that they have made Four hundred
thousand volunteers is approximately

SPIRIT OF PATRIOTISM.

"Yes, have subscribed Tor Liberty
Bonds, and If there is anything else
that l can do for my country in this
crisis 1t simply has me to command"
This statement was made by farmer,
n plain farmer, who lives in a rather
remote section of the county. Contin-
uin. he said:
when think of the. sacrifice, the
toll, the blood that was shed, the pri-
yations that were endured by our fore
fathers who brought forth this govern
ment and literally carved it out OF the
wilderness, it seems to me that nelth-
er / nor any other citizen should hest
tate at any sacrifice to preserve 1t. l
have probably reached that age in life
where my services at the front would
be more of liability than an asset,
but il the government can use me in
France all that will be necessary will
be to summons me. Surely those OF
us who are beyond effective military
age can Guy our country's bonds and
do cur whole part at home"
Now this is the spirit OF true pa.
friotism. 1t shows an appreciation OF
our heritage as American citizens. 1t
shows gratitude for all that was freely
given by those who erected this Won
Jierfully blessed structure Of free gov
eminent. This nation did not simply
happen as some unpatriotic citizens
seem to think. 1t was no accident. 1t
was not brought into being by the
waving of some magic wand. The lib
critics, the happiness and the peace
which we have treasured these many
decades were not had merely for the
asking. Things in this life that are
worth having, cost something. All
that we are today in America cost
much. 1t cost oceans of blood and
millions of treasure.
There was struggle and privation
and suffering and death and the agony
n separation in the making of this
great structure Of free government,
the best the world has ever known.
Had our ancestors, those who blazed
the pathway though the trackless will
Slerness and here erected the first rude
temples dedicated to liberty, been less
unselflsh, less heroic, less devoted and
less sacrificing, we would not today
be the proud heirs Of the countless
blessings that we now enjoy.
This world has not advanced be-
canse of the selfish, OF those who will
make no sacrifice for the common
zood. but in spite Of them. The self
centered, Indifferent individuals have
dane nothing for the advancement OF
zhe world. Those who declare that
they did not rear their sons for the
service OF God and humanity and
country, but for their own selfish pur-
POSES. contribute nothing now and will
centribute nothing in. the future to the
advancement Of the world. Those
Who freely give, in crisis like this,
their all to their country, are those to
whom the world owes its lasting debt

achieved, for all that has been won for
civilization. Jesus Christ did not hes
