be expected to visit this city and 1t is
probable that in the course of a very

first flight from Memphis to Columbia.
The three young pilots with their
mechanics took off from the Turpin
field on the Bigbyville pike this
morning about $50 o'clock, having
been delayed in their departure by
the foggy atmosphere. They flew
over the city as a farewell to the
many friends they left here, but with
out halting for a demonstration of
air stunts they turned eastward and
vanished quickly on their way to

they expect to reach by noon. From
Carthage they will fly to Ma ashville

there. Tomorrow they will fly to

The aviators were entertained last
night at the Bethel house and Century

They expressed themselves as being
delighted with their visit to Columbia.
Lieut. Dow the official publicity

As THE FIGHT ENDED
CORPORAL VoSS DESCRIBES
SCENE FROM THE HOSPITAL
POINT OF VIEW.

Corporal Irwin Voss writes from
France that his commander has told
the boys that they may write that
they probably will be home by the
last week in January. His outfit was
resting on November "a. when the
letter was written at Barbecue and
was probably on the way to the rear.
He is a member of the 321st Field Hos
pital.
Describing the last engagement in
which he participated Corporal voss
said:
Eve were on the verdun front and
the last three days was something ter
rible. The entire earth was a.
tremble. The day before the end our
hospital was under heavy shell fire.
Those Germans were popping shells
all around US and when they hit the
ground they cut out hole about the
size of small pond and scattered dirt

tent trying to sleep. hadn't had any
sleep for AS hours. but there was no
sleep for me and the shells bursting
so close. | wasn't to say scared, but
just didn't feel safe.
''For four days and nights our door
wasn't clear of an ambulance. They
brought those poor boys in shot all
to pieces for IL hours after the firing
ceased. They stopped on the dot of
IL. but tried to shoot every she'll they
had left that time. | was right on

and DR.. c. A. Keffer, director of the
division of extention, spent Friday
at the Middle Tennessee Experiment
station definitely agreeing upon the
location of the administration build

and the cattle barn.
Thees officials conferred with Eu-
gene Afford, architest and builder
who was given the commission to pre-
pare the plans and estimates for the
dairy barn, the cattle barn and the
auditorium. 1t is expected that just
as soon as the plans are made and
approved and the estimates accepted
the work will begin.
These buildings will all be located
so that they can be reached by the
highway that will be constructed
through the station and will run from
the Mt. Pleasant pike to the Hamp-
shire pike, They will be easily ac-
ceasible, one from the other and also
By the public. .s.'
While the work will be rushed with
all possible speed 1t will probably be
nearly a year before all of the build
ings, are finished Now that the war
is over Director Morgan is exceeding
ly anxious that the plans for the deve-
lopment of the station should be car
ried out as soon as possible.
The dairy and horse barns will be
of generous proportions and in addi-
tion there will be big tool shed. The
administration buildings in addition to
the offices will contain an auditorium
and sales barn that will have seat
ing capacity of about 500.

Death came last night to call into
the Heavenly home a beloved woman
of Maury county. whose life was one
of devotion to her family and continu-
Gus service in her sphere to humanity,
when Mrs. Amelia S. Brown closed
her eyes in eternal sleep at Sis
o'clock at The Kings Daughters
Hospital where she had been i'll

churchwoman, who walked in the
path of her Master. She was of a
.motherly disposition, making her
home place of comfort for her sons
and for the young men with whom
they associated. The sons are: H.
T. Brown, of Sewanee; j. Hamilton

(By United Press.)

ATLANTA, Ca, Dec. 19,-Will the
South, having been 'in the saddle"
several years, be satisfied to revert to
it's pre-war status in industry and agri-
culture?
Judging from these reports gather
ed reports from all sections of the
South, Dixie will not revert to its old
pre.war status Never before In the
history Of Dixie has there been such
buzz of commercial, industrial and
agricultural activity as now.
New industries are springing into
existence daily; old ones are enlarg-
ing their facilities; merchants are in
creasing their stocks; banks have
more money than every before, and
the southern farmer, having learned
his lesson in diversified crop-raising
to help win the war, will never again
revert to the one product crop cotton
prominent planters declare.
Diversified crops" henceforth will
be the slogan OF. the southern farmer
Modern agricultural implements. con-
sidered only few years ago as expe-
riments, are being used to relieve the
labor shortage
. With tens of thou sands of acres of
land heretofore idle, the South has
started concerted drive to have the
federal government parcel this land
for soldier and sailor settlements,
thus absorbing to some extent the la
Dor surplus when the boys returning
from overseas are mustered out.
For the avowed purpose of rapidly
assisting agricultural development in
West Tennessee, Eastern Arkansas
and North Mississippi, two new stock
land banks, with combined loaning
capacity of $75O0,O0O, have recently
opened in Memphis. These banks
have been chartered by the federal
farm loan board at Washington, and
will operate under the federal farm
loan law.

Ala, are planning to spend between
s5,000,OO0 and $4,000, 900 in permanent

receiving daily scores of calls for res

Industrial plants in the South which
had war contracts cancelled as re.

switching to civil contracts with little
trouble. Industrial men generally as
sert that they are glad to get back on
civil contracts as there is more money
in them
