A SPLENDID RECORD.

COMMISSIONER II. Knox Bryson, Of the
state department OF agriculture, has
made report Of the revenues Of his
department showing that he has add
Cd during the three years that he has
been in office more than $4,000 to
the states exchequer. That is a mag
nifieent showing and it has been made
too without any impairment Of the SER
rice. The department has never
been more efficiently or more faith
fully administered than it has been
during the incumbency of Mr.. Bry-
son.
The commissioner has had an alto
gether proper conception of his du-
ties as the head OF the agricultural
activities of the state. He has been
content to leave to the college OF ag-
ricuiture and the division OF extern
sion, manned as they are by the best

JACKSON HIGHWAY.

Although it is not probable that
much highway construction will be
carried forward before the end of the
war, it is gratifying to know that the
Jackson Military Highway is not go
ing to be abandoned. The boosters Of
this important highway need not ex-
pect the federal government to give
them much assistance now or to per.
init them to use much material and
labor in highway improvement. But
the restrictions on road work will
not prevent the maintenance Of trunk
roads such as the one connecting the
two government industries at Muscle
Shoals and Hadley's Bend.
Railroad traffic is going to continue
to be congested and any freight or
passenger travel that can be kept off
the railroads will help the situation.
So the organization formed last
Thursday at Lawrenceburg can be Of
service to the government by encour-
aging the use Of the highway by
freight trucks and passenger automo-
biles. Tourist travel should not be
encouraged. Gasoline is becoming too
scarce to be wasted on pleasure
jsunts.
The major work Of the Jackson
Military Highway Association, Auxil-
larry, Is going to be that of keeping
up interest in the road and keeping it
before the federal and state highway
departments, so that when the war
ends and things return to normal
basis, there will be a better chance
to secure governmental aid.

KEEPING THE SPIRIT.

There were few automobiles In nse
Sunday in Maury county and We are
disposed to believe that the few that
were used were for emergency or
legitimate purposes In keeping with
the spirit OF the fuel administration
gasoline conservation request. That
was as 1t might have been expected in
Maury county. for the people here are
100 per cent Americans. They want
to do anything the government wants
them to do, and those who are not
fighting are anxious to demonstrate
In every way possible that they are
willing to do anything that may help
the fighters.
II there was any person who DELHI
erately operated an automobile use
lessIy in defiance Of the reasonable
request OF DR.. Garfield, that person is
not at heart a true patriot. He is a
Stacker just as much as IL he mad
evaded the draft or violated any of
the numerous war regulations that
have been issued.
Happily, the people Of Maury county
as a whole seek to keep the spirit
and letter of these war regulations
and they have DEVELOPED public SEN
timent that would make it most un-
pleasant for any person so conscience
less as to wantonly violate any such
regulations.
II the request Of the fuel administra-
ton for the conservation Of gasoline
ON Sunday is complied with voluntar-
lily there will be no necessity for a
order, which would re.
quire vigorous and careful effort TO
enforce. So far as Columbia and
Maury county are concerned no such
order will ever be necessary.

riculture. He has been the ardent ad-
yocate of vocational education. He
haa kept fully abreast the times. in
this great crisis Of the nation he has
used all OF the resources of his Of
flee in an effort to promote the inter
es.s Of the country. He has urged
conservation of food. he has pleaded
with the farmers for increased pro-
dnction and he has in short been d
willing worker in every activity Tor
winning the war.
Maury countians take pardonable
pride in the splendid record Of Col
Bryson. He married daughter of
this county, has been frequent visi.
tor her and one OF his most efficient
appointees, John Clarence Joyce, is a
Maury countian.

you do not intend to register.
The task of this registration is
greater, than that Of any, OF the pre-

SAVE GASOLINE.

II Is to be sincerely hoped that to.
morrow Maury county will make q
record for a hundred per cent obser.
vance OF the nations request for the
conservation Of gasoline. No loyal
citizen should refuse complianc e
with the appeal that has been made
by the fuel administration. 1t may
be a hardship on some of the JOY
riders to forego that pleasure one day
in the week, but they can still congra-
tulate themselves that their hardships
arc immeasurably less than the men
and boys who are ready to die, if
necessary for them.
The man or woman who deliberate
ly violates this request tomorrow IS
unworthy of the protection Of the
American flag; absolutely unworthy
OF the sacrifices that our soldiers are
making for them. This Is simply an.
other test of the loyalty and devotion
OF the people. For the sake of the more
than a thousand men from Maury
county who today on land and seas,
at home and abroad wear the honorsd
uniform Of the nation, The Herald
appeals for the observance OF this
reasonable request
