as it was the property of Maury coun
ty. and that the greatest and crown
ing blessing was Maury oountys sim
ply because ii was located right here
in our midst. Located in "the dimple
OF the Universe"
Judge Mcknight paid glowing tri
butte to the boys that are now fight
ing for liberty and freedom "ove1
there" He stated that he wanted the
boys to see this old country blooming
and blossoming like rose when they
come back home after having whipped
the kaiser and marched through the
streets of Berlin to the tune of Dixie.
His closing remarks were beautiful.
He painted picture that will long
live in the memory OF those that
heard him. He flung little humor
at the Governor about the day that he
inspected the farm with Governor Rye
in pouring down rain. Governor -
said Judge Mcknight, "there is one
thing in favor of this farm, it is well
watered." "Yes," said the Governor,
they are all well watered today
Aud so was the Governor and the
Judge. =
Judge Mcknight then delivered the
deed to the property to Governor Rye,
who accepted it with a beautiful tri-
butte to the town and county and to
the state. The Governor made q
beautiful speech. Among the many
things he said the portion of the
speech that appealed most to the peo-
pie of Maury county, was that 81 am
glad to have been one to locate the
Middle Tennessee Experiment Sta
tion in Marry county. For many rea-
sons l am glad to have had this priv
ilege. Long since | learned from
Songs and Stories of Tennessee that
Maury County is the Dimple of the
Universe, and | am glad that / had a
part in placing another dimple in the
Dimple of the Universe, as this Exper-
iment Station will prove to be the
greatest dimple within the Dimple."
Governor Rye made a splendid ap-
peal to the Farmers of the State to
continue to grow the crops, to grow
more abundant crops, in order that
this great government may be enabled
to feed her soldiers and her allies and
allies soldiers. He spoke of the boys
that are fighting "over there" He
said that he hoped that it would be n
Maury county boy who would capture
the kaiser, and that he wanted that
boy to walk up to him and address
him by his name, Bill. and tell him
that he had come for him. This por-
ton of the Governors speech brought
fourth thunderous applause
Governor Rye turned the deed to
the farm over to President Brown
Ayres of the University OF Tennessee
who accepted it in behalf of the
board Of trustees of the institution.
President Ayres made pretty
speech Telling OF the wonderful
things that are being accomplished by
The Columbia herald. [volume] (Columbia, Tenn.) 18??-1935, 1918-08-02

they had ever seen. Owing to thu
scarcity of labor, the Superintendent
Of the farm has not been able to &c
complish as much as he would have
under ordinary circumstances, but il
spite of all of the difficulties under
which he has been forced to labor
miracles have been performed and the
crops are looking splendid. 1t is pos
sible a profit will be made off thu
farm products.
Promptly at three o'clock the large
crowd began to assemble at the main
residence, which is known as the Cul
berhouse property. The large front
lawn set III beautiful shade trees
made most fitting place to receive
the deed to the property, as it enabled
the spectators to overlook practically
A. of the acres. Prof. c. A. Keffer, OF
the division of extension, University
of Tennessee, acted as master of cere
monies, and announced the purpose Of
the gathering of the crowd at the
farm. After making a short prelimi.
nary talk he introduced Judge j. L.
Mcknight as the man who would
formally deliver the deed to the Gov.
ernor of the State.
Judge Meningitis Address
A more patriotic address was never
delivered in Maury county than the
one that fell from the lips of the elo-
quent speaker upon this occasion. He
was full of his subject. He had worked
with the committee in locating the
station in Maury county and under
stood every phase of the difficulties
that had been overcome by the peo-
pie of this county and which finally
landed the plum for Maury county.
He stated that one fact alone, that Of
having the presence of Dr. Morgan in
Columbia two or three time year
was worth the price paid for the farm.
Judge Meningitis eulogy of the
farmers of Middle Tennessee was full
of feeling and caused every man in
the audience to give the farmer a
thought. He laid great stress upon
the farmer and his work and especial
ly the part that he is playing and the
part that he must continue to play IN
the great war that this country is
waging against the Hun and his Al
lies.
He referred to the days when the
struggle was on. Stating that there
were those who did not think that
Maury county needed the farm, bu.
that he believed and felt that those
sentiments no longer existed in the
minds of the people of Maury county,
and that all were a united body and
that all felt that the experiment Sta
ton was and would be one of the
greatest blessings that has ever fall
en- TO the lot of people. He i'm
pressed upon his hearers that it was
not the property of Maury county, and
that while Maury county had donated
the property to the state as gift. it
was as much the property now Of
all the counties Of Middle Tennessee

Ed. THE NEWS
seen a piece in THE NEWS a
few days ago about folks wanting a
park for Paris. Seems to me it's a
bit of extravaganza for a little place
like Paris. That there writer in get
ting up his little piece about the fine
parks all over the country forgot to
say anything about the park in Mil
lersburg. Now, that's beauty, and
about the size of the one Paris would
be able to afford. First, you pays a
high price for little piece of ground.
Then that ground don't pay no taxes,
so the rest of us pay more to keep
the town going. Then you pays out
a lot of money for laying out walks,
putting up buildings and conven-
fences for play. Looks like foolish
ness to me.
Then you must have superintend-
ent to look after things. Then you
must have Board to look after the
superintendent. Then all the people
of the town will have to keep their
eyes on the Board, and there you are.
Then, you must spend I don't know
how much buying equipment. 1
don't know what that is, but l know
it is expensive. It's a rotten shame
how anxious some people are to
spend other peoples money. Bet you
the fellow that wanted to start that
park business couldn't raise a thous-
and dollars for any purpose. If he'd
see ten-spot all in one piece he'd
think it was new kind of counter
felt.
In my daddy's time, and when 1
was boy we didn't ask other peo-
pie to pay for our fun. We just went
out in the woods and shot squirrels
and rabbits, and maybe some of the
neighbors' chickens and turkeys
onct in a while. We didn't have to
plant flowers, for the woods was full
of 'em. To put up new barn or a
school house or such, that was our
idea of fun and good time. And
on election days we would have a
shooting match and. maybe a few.
fights. That was our fun. And the
boys went out at night with the
dogs and brung home a coon and
'possum and such, till you couldn't
rest. An the girls we had in those
days, they was caution to see, to
some we see on the streets now.
They was clear-eyed, no paint and
powder, they was round-armed and
workers that didn't need nobody to
lead 'em around in park. They
could find their way about without
some galoot jughandling 'em around
a park.
I'm agin the park business fer
we've got the court house yard and
the cemetery, and they're park
enough, guess. And as for a meet
ing place for lovers4well, guess
Paris has plenty of them places.

1.-The army to-day is growing
faster than the nurse corps. l hes1-
tate to deal in concrete numbers, but
for anything like adequate service,
the army nurse corps must increase
in the ratio of at least thousand a
week for the next two months.
lSurg.-Gen. Gorgas.
The campaign in this county for
student nurses who are wanted Tor
overseas service, and the campaign
for the registration of women in the
county for war work possibilities.
are going hand in hand. The work
is being we'll taken care of and will
be pushed to a successful conclusion.
A thousand graduate nurses must
be sent overseas each week for the
next two months to meet the require
ments of the Allied Armies, according
to the word that has reached us
from Lake Division Red Cross head
quarters.
The "thousand-a-week" request to
the Red Cross has been made by
Surgeon General Gorgas, and Miss
Anna Baldwin, acting director of the
Lake Division Nursing Bureau, has
appealed to Red Cross organizations
throughout Ohio Indiana and Ken
frrn fn
BILE nurses.
In the six months ending July 81,
703 nurses had been enrolled from
these three States-538 from Ohio,
1876 from Indiana and 80 from Ken
lucky Two hundred and ninety-one
were enrolled in July. August and
September must each produce at
least triple that figure.
Approaching that public health
must not be permitted to suffer, the
Red Cross has been pushing it's Home
Care of the Sick and it's First Aid
Care Courses as we'll as cooperating
with other agencies in recruiting
student nurses to I'LL the depleted
ranks of the hospitals.
Notice has gone out that the pay
of nurses going into active military
service has been increased to SIS a
month for overseas duty and $50 a
month for work in camps and canton
ments in America. This is in addition
to board and lodging and to the same
War Risk Insurance privileges that
are granted soldiers, sailors and
marines.
Nurses will respond to this i'm
perative call if the people will con-
serve the nurse power and impress
upon the nurses that the Greatest
Mother in the World must have
thousands of them to meet it's obli-
cation to the government" writes

In the initial match of the Chick

as a result there is much rejoicing

In this match Cabeen came from

are not mentining the medal score
of this pair, the talk centering strict
ly on the outcome of the match as
pertains to the final count Of the
tourney. They finished the first nine
with Bowden one up, but Cabeen
rallied in the final round, turned in
the low card (whatever 1t happened
to be) and copped the match by an
nexing enough holes to give him the

Among the youngest of Grady

Jim Wyncoop, the son of Mr.. and
Mrs. H. A Wyncoop of Laverty. Jim
was only 16 when he tried to enlist
with Uncle Sam and he had hard
time convincing the recruiting off
Ger that he was old enough to fight.
He was unsuccessful the first time
when he appeared smooth shaven at
the recruiting station, so he went
back home and coaxed his beard to
grow for three weeks. When he
tried to volunteer the next time he
was accepted without question
Jim is connected with the aviation
branch of service and has been in
France for some time.

PEACE THIS

HERTLINC
German Chancellor Quoted as Making
Statement; Events In West Bring
End Of Big Struggle
BY United Press.

BY United Press.
Amsterdam, May 18.--Count Won
Hertling, the German chancellor, de
clared that he was optimistic enough
to believe that peace would bereach-
Q dthis year, according to an inter
view printed in the Budapest news
paper Azost. He was firmly conf
dent that the events on the west
would bring the end Of the war near,
he said.
Germany and Austria were entitled
to harmonize their actions, the chan
cellor asserted. Kaiser Wilhelm and
Emperor Karl, he stated laid the ba-
sis for an alliance and the details
would be negotiated later
The agreement between the two
Teutonic emperors was not an ag-
grssive one, the chancellor said, and
if the world would unite in an inter
national peace league, Germany would
unquestionably join in it. Under the
present conditions, he said, there was
little hope for such a league Ger
many was fighting for her existence
and for peace.
