HOW Big SHELLS
ARE TURNED OUT.
Uncle Sam to Furnish Artil-
lery "Punch" In Persh--
ing's Crusaders

That Aemrica will soon be so well
supplied with its own ordnance that
it will not have to rely upon being
supplied by the French government,
it is clearly shown in "Pershings
Crusaders" the IT, s. Official War
Film at the Dixie theatre September
18th and 18th. Tremendous guns
as well as field pieces are being man
ufactured in large numbers and with
great rapidity. The films take you
through the plants and show in de-
tail how the big guns are made and
trains loaded with field guns are
shown on the way to the seaboard,
where they will be loaded on ships
and transported to the war zone for
the use of Pershings' artillerymen.
Thousands of shells of all sizes are
shown in the courseeof manufacture
and even now America is providing
its full snare of shells for the big
guns and field pieces. These are also
shown in long trainloads on the way
east for shipment.
1t is heartenng to Americans to
see these wonderful evidences OF
what the country is doing to carry
on its part of the war, and it is as
founding that such vast results
should have been attained in so
short a time. American artillery Is
is going to take a most important
part in the war and it will be one OF
the American troops, in insuring ul-
innate victory over the Huns.

Big Thrift Stamp Driue Is On

and Saturday night as the limit.
On Monday night this committee
held meeting when the list of all
the people of the first district who had
pledged and those who hadn't, was
carefully gone over and an amount
set down opposite each name as a
suitable increase of pledge.
1t was decided to have central
headquarters for the Thursday drive
at the north front of the court house,
where the officers would be stationed
and four substations at each of the
four corners of the square, each IN
charge of two ladies and one gentle
man.
The 40 committeeman were assign
ed the duty of calling on each person
in the first district, giving such per-
sons the opportunity of subscribing
in accordance with the plan Or CIV
ing reason why not. These commit
teemen were taken to outlying points
in cars secured by the automobile
committee.
1t was further the duty of these
committeeman to report each hour
during the day to the central sta
tion showing the amount of the
pledges secured.
1t is especially requested of any
who may have failed to be found by
the committee to volunteerily send in
their pledges before Saturday night.
The Patriotic League, the Camp
Fire Girls and the Boy Scouts did pa
troll duty, and general messenger SER

PROPOSED STOCK
co. FOR PARIS

There is a movement on foot to
form a stock company with one of
the local dairiss as nucleus SO that
the people of Paris may have all of
the best dairy products at reason
able price at any and all times.
1t seems that the local daipies have
trouble to give their customers all
they need all the time and just at
the time when it is wanted.
If the present outlines of the pro-
posed corporation materializes the
concern will purchase a desirable
farm within easy access to Paris,
will put in first class barns with all
modern conveniences, such as metal
stancheons, concerto floors, concrete
milk house, silos, water system sup
piled from deep wells and the ma
chinery operated by electricity gen.
Grated from one of the approved gen
Grating plants used largely for light
and power on many farms.
The stock will all be blooded, so
that it may at all times command a
good price for breeding stock.
1t is planned to get as many stock
holders as possible SO that it will be
community enterprise and not a
scheme only for making money, but
with the supplying of long felt want
as well as a paying proposition.
There are some objections to the
plan as in every new thing offered
but those interested are seriously
considering the project and promise
to develop it if there is sufficient in
terest to justify.

in the First Baptist church on Tues

.oGENING OF
z GROVE SCHOOL
Grove High School Opened
Monday With Large
Attendance


under the most auspcious circum-
stances. 1t was said that there were
perhaps more patrons of the school
present at the opening to give it a
good send off than at any previous
opening in years. and while actual
figures are not available, it is prob
able that this was also the largest
opening day in point of students,
although some other years were al
most as large.
Rev. J.. w. Storer, pastor of the
First Baptist church, conducted the
devotional services. Rev. Storer is
known to be keenly in sympathy with
the student body and his auditors APP
preciate that fact
Col. o. C. Barton, one of Henry
county's citizens who has ever fought
the battles of the Grove School, was
present and gave a patriotic talk on
the subject of the war savings
stamps.
Rev. HI. B. Johnston then address
ed the assemblage. He emphasized
the fact that we should get education
for definite aim in life and that the
demand is for men who are high in
efficiency, rather than those who
have not made SPECIAL preparation to
do their life's task especially well.
Harmon Hoffman, of Trinity Col
lege, an old Henry county boy,
spoke for the alumni. His theme was:
''Ye shall seek the truth and the
truth shall make you free"
The Principal, W. E. Clement, an
nounced the general policy of the
school as outlined in the printed fol-
ders.
John Richardson, chairman Of the
High School Board Of Education, de-
clared that the high school board will
stand behind Grove School in every
thing pointing toward its progress
and improvement.
j. l.. Holland spoke for the pa
irons of the school. He urged the
heartiest cooperation on the part OF
the patsr...- 9Th the school and the
studenV Wy.
One Of the noticeable features in
connection with the opening day was
the spirit of loyalty and patriotism
whicn pervaded the student body,
the speakers, the faculty and the pa
irons and from the indications OF the
first day, this term of Grove School
will be productive of great and last
ing good.
There were more than 200 pupils
present to enroll on the opening day
