other places in the county. Miss Lev
erett is most interesting speaker

her hearers. Her knowledge of the
work in the foreign fields is personal
and accurate and she spoke feelingly

the mighty things that had been
wrought for His kingdom. There were
delegations of women from practically
all of the missionary societies Of the

MAuRY FOUNTAINS ARE GETTING

Il OF LIQUOR.
EXPRESS OFFICE BUSY PLACE
Estimated That. Three-fourths Or
More Of the Families Of the County
Are Getting Ready for the Arid
Period Soon to be Here.

Seemingly every other family in
Maury county probably more than that
proportion. is preparing for the arid
time that is due to arrive on March 1.
This county has always voted for pro
hibition. II supported Carmack in
1908, it elected senator and two rep
|resentatives who voted for the state
wide prohibition laws of 1909. Its
members all voted for the nuisance
act of 1913 and all OF its delegation
voted for the custer law Of 1915. Sen
ator Humphreys and Representatives
English and Russell voted for the bone
dry law to become effective on
March 1.
But despite this record the folks are
not going to let the bone dry law
come upon them without some prep,
aration for snake bites and sickness
and an occasional toddy. The express
office is one of the busiest places in
Columbia these days. Until the pas.
sage of the bone dry law the first of
this month liquor shipments into the
county had very, very materially de-
creased from what they were when
the saloon was first outlawed. But
during the past ten days there has
been a tremendous, an abnormal
growth Of the business. One of the
officers of the county this morning
declared that eighty per cent OF the
families of the county, white and
black, he believed. had ordered gal
long of liquor.
II any man gets more than one gal.
lon OF liquor it will not be the fault Of
the express company. The officials of
that company have issued iron clad
Instructions to all agents to take every
possible precaution to see that the
law is not violated Agent Owen is
just as careful as he can be. He
checks every name that goes thorugh
his office. No liquor is delivered with.
out careful examination Of the rec
ords to ascertain if the party to whom
it is consigned has received his allot-
ted gallon.
A very large portion Of the liquor
that is being shipped in now will not
be used imediately Many families
will put it carefully away for use in
emergencies. The regular drinkers
and topers will, however, probably
consume their gallon without delay.
Then they will be up against it.

ING SUCCESS.

Capt. Glover, recruiting officer for
the y. s. Navy, has opened his office
in the Post Office building and an
nounces that he is ready to talk with
all young men of good moral habits,
between the ages of II to 80 on the
good opportunities that the navy at-
lords to all that belong to it.
Capt. Glover stated that he was well
pleased with the success in the city
in the short time that he has been
here, as he has added several of the
Columbia boys to the navy personnel.
Capt. Glover stated that these boys
were not giving up their schooling, but
we're simply transferring to another
and larger school for the instructors
in U. s. big ships are the best in the
country and are always willing to help
those that are willing to help them
selves.
Capt. Glover brought with him one
reel of Navy pictures that are being
shown at the Dixie Theatre and when
the rest of his party come to the city
they will bring with them three more
reels. These pictures are of the very
highest type and picture navy life in
its true sense. 1t shows the glorious
advantages that navy trained men
have over the others and are very
interesting from the first scene to the
asst. They show the big guns in &C
ton, torpedoe boats. Atlantic feet, and
the big training stations of the navy.
Capt. Glover wants anyone interest
ed to come to see him at the post
office and have talk with him, as he
can possibly explain the very thing
that might keep one from enlisting.

FARMERS EXPRESS
HOPE THAT WHEAT
IS PARTLY SAVED
FAVORABLE WEATHER HAS PRO-
DucED REMARKABLE CHANGE
IN SITUATION.
FIELDS RESPOND TO WARMTH
Damage From The Excessive Cold
VIII Probably Not be as Great as
Had Been Thought-Other Crops
Are Also Improving.

Fair and warmer weather for the
past three or four days has very ma
terially improved the prospects for a
wheat crop in Maury county. Farm
ers are not near SO pessimistic over
the outlook as they were q week ago.
Fields that showed absolutely no
signs of life ten days ago have made
generous response to the warm rains
and warmer sunshines and are taking
on tinge of green, most welcome to
the people Of the county.
Many fields that farmers declared a
few days ago would not make seed,
give indications now of having a fair
stand of wheat. In the rich, wheat
section between Columbia and Mt.
Pleasant, seemingly hard hit by the
freezes. many fields have begun to
show signs OF revival The only ques-
ton now is how much or what per
cent of the plant has been frozen out.
II there Is even half stand left, with
reasonably favorable weather from
now on, good yield would still be
assured.
The favorable weather has not only
changed very materially the wheat
prospects, but has brought back to life
rye and barley and other winter pas
lures. The winter cover crops have
already thrown off their burned-over
appearance and are once more green
and affording pasture for many head
of cattle and sheep. The blue grass
likewise has responded to changed
weather and pastures are once more
looking green, although they have
been browner this winter than many
persons ever saw them before, except
in the midst Of long. hot summers

EFFORTS OF A DARING
BURGLAR.

An attempt to rob the home of Noble
G. Blair on North High street, was
frustrated Wednesday night when Mr..
Blair reached his home. The unknown
man had entered the house through
the kitchen, and Mrs. Blair and chill
dren weer alone, and when Mr.. Blair
stepped into the room she stated thar
someone was in the kitchen striking
matches. Mr.. Blair entered the din
ing room and heard the man moving
about. He called to know who was
in the room and the man moved into
the pantry. Mrs. Blair called in .
neighbor, and Mr.. Blair attempted to
80 around the house. The man broke
for the front, but saw Mrs. Blair on
the porch, and she called to Mr.. Blair
that the man was coming through the
front. He broke for the front and tina
burglar realizing his opportunity to-
escape, made for the back door of the.
kitchen and as he went over the fence
Mr.. Martin, one of the neighbors who
had come to the rescue, saw him.
The only trace that the burglar left
was a cap.
Mr.. Blair says that nothing was
from his kitchen or dining
room and the superstition is that who
ever the thief was, that he was look
Ing for something to eat.

Special to The Herald
WASHINGTON, Feb. 22.-Far more
serious than the war situation at this
time appears the situation porduced
by the food and fuel shortage in the
United States as the result of the car
sohrtage. 1t appears that the officials
are powerless to bring about immedi-
ate relief. Wilson is studying the re-
ports Of the railroads and the Inter
state commerce commission on their
efforts to relieve the situation. While
there is sentiment to blame the rail.
roads and the spectators yet it Is
realized that much of the trouble is
due to the enforced embargo resulting
from the tieing up of large number
OF cars on the seaboard since the fail
ure of American freighters and pas.
senger ships to sail for Europe.
Herculean efforts are being made by
the high officials of the railroads to
rush all available freight cars to the
west in an effort to relieve the food
shortage in the East. They will be
loaded in the west as fast as possible
and rushed back to the East. The In
terstate commerce commission is
exerting all possible pressure on the
railroads. The situation has become
so acute in some places that every
freight car is being sidetracked to
give room for those loaded with fuel
and food stuffs. II was declared by
certain of thes officials that If neces-
sary to relieve the situation the pas.
senger schedules would be sacrificed.
