FLIES THAT COME IN
SPRING ARE new ONES
HOUSEHOLD PEST DOES NOT
LIVE THROUGH WINTER IN
ADULT FORMS.

WASHINGTON, May 31-The house
flies that you see in early spring are
not the flies of the preceding autumn.
They are the offspring, not the survi:
vors OF those that sought a warm
refuge In the fall The flies that APP
pear in thefspring quickly become re-
productive and by early summer the
baby fly of few weeks past will have
become patriarch with millions of
reat-great-grandchildren. Therefore,
swat early.
These facts are presented by a
United States Department of Agricul-
ture scientist. His findings, based on
long experiments, support the popular
belief that swat in the spring
saves lot of them later on. A fly
thoroughly swatted when he is young
and comparatively innocent not only
will be unable to carry disease, but
will not have very many children.

Maury county's easy subscription of
about 80 per cent more than her quota
of $4,000 for the second Red Cross
war fund was but an indication OF
what this county could do il 1t really
did its best. There were but few
subscriptions Of more than IS that
caused the contributors any incon-
yenience. Perhaps few persons who
gave SIS or less were compelled to
stint themselves In some way to give
that much, for it is the small givers
who most often give the most in real
sacrifice to themselves. A large ma
jority Of. the subscribers In Columbia
could have given from two to ten
times as much as they did without
feeling it. But the quota was raised
with good oversubscription and we
can wait for the next call with full
confidence that there will be an even
greater outpouring Of money to sup
port the Red Cross.

A British general said during the
great German offensive in Picardy
and Flanders that it should be remem-
bered that when things look darkest
for our side the situation is also
gloomiest for the enemy. With that
thought and knowledge that Gen. Foch
still has the confidence of the allied
armies there should be no fear as to
the outcome of the present offensive
on the Aisne. The Germans are not
going to break through there any
more successfully than they have any
where else on the western front.

COUNTY, ORGANIZATION.

An effort and good beginning is be-
ing made toward perfecting well
organized county Council Of Defense
In accordance with the wishes Of the
government war administration for
the purpose of unifying and co-ordinat.
ing all OF the numerous activities that
the civilian population of the county
is being called upon to participate in.
II will be creditable to Maury county
IL this organization is made success
full, because it will guarantee the sue
cess to q greater measure than here
tofore of all undertakings that may
be assigned to us.
Maury county is going to do every
thing that she is called upon to do,
regardless Of whether there is a per-
fected county council Of defense or
not; but the Importance of this or
ganization lies in its ability to make
II easier to do these things aud to
ulStIlUut6 tuo WOfh luOIe 6Ncuiy
throughout the county and among all
the people.
The plan Of the council is simple
one. It's foundation is composed of
the chairmen OF organizations, such
Is the Liberty Loan Committee, the
War Savings Committee, the food ad.
ninistration. the fuel administration,
the, Red Cross, and various other In
diyiduals and bodies brought into ex.
istence by the war. These chairmen
acting as a united body will support
each other in their various activi
ties, while the real working branch
OF the organization will be the com
munity councils that are to be form
ed throughout the county.
Formation Of the community coun
ellis is going to be the most difficvult
task of the plan. The county chair
man has already appointed wal
committee composed of.a man and a
woman IN each community. Around
this committee in each community
will be formed the war council
The Columbia herald. [volume] (Columbia, Tenn.) 18??-1935, 1918-06-07

Whereever communities already have
organizations under the division Of
extension they wiz be utilized. but In
those communities that have no or
ganization II will be necessary to be-
gin the work from the ground. The
ultimate and ideal plan is to have
every person either identified with a
community council or assigned to a
council in such way that he can
be reached in a relatively short time
whenever his services or contributions
are needed.
Neither the county council nor the
community councils are going to be
formed overnight II is going to take
time and some hard, diligent work to
perfect them. II they sprang up over
night. they probably would be mush-
room-like growths that would disinte-
CRATE as quickly as they were formed.
They must be made permanent, or as
nearly permanent as the duration Of
the war may necessitate, because
this county, and every other county
in America, must organize its popula-
ton upon war basis. II we are to
win this war as quickly and as de-
.cisively as 1t Is possible for 1t to be
won.
The benefits to be derived from
organized efforts are patent. Anyone
woh has given any thought to public
service is familiar with the differ
ence in results accomplished by or
ganized and unorganized bodies.
While the unorganized bodies, taking
the long and toilsome route, may
eventually reach the objective, there
is tremendous and deplorable waste
of time, energy and substance, which
could have been saved. But an or
ganized body by taking the most direct
and most adaptible route would ar
rive at the same objective more quick
ly and at far less cost of time, energy
and substance.
Chairman H. H. Hill of the county
council Of defense holds commits
sion from the government in that
important position. He has certain
powers. The scope Of his
authority, either positive or indirect,
is virtually unlimited as 1t pertains
to civilian war activities. But he is
neither. by appointment nor desire
car. His position is one of leader
ship rather than of command. So it
Is imperative that he be given the
loyal and untiring support Of the
people Of this county in carrying for
ward the wishes Of the government.

COURAGE

u0 ulUbIN pOIcAI ldCIUE III llc AlAu
defeat of the Teutonic powers is go
ing to be the courageous morale Of
the peoples Of the allied nations, and
especially Of the people Of the United
States. The French and British
have gone through the fiery test and
in the midst Of the most discouraging
situations have never wavered. Now
they are keeping up their spirits with
the belief that the assistance Of the
United States viii bring victory to
the cause of liberty. So it is primar
lily essential that the people Of this
country put up the best front pos
sible and justify the faith that the
British, French and Italians have in
them .'
1t must be conceded that events on
the western front during the past two
months, and especially during the
past week, have been anything but
encouraging. The German military
machine has by sheer force of num-
bers overwhelmed the allied armies at
three distinct points and have made
great gains in fighting territory. They
have killed, wounded and captured
thousands of soldiers of the allied
armies. They have maintained a
truly remarkable offensive for more
than two months. Their successes, if
they may be called such, have struck
deep into the hearts of 'the peoples
Of the nations that they would crush.
1t has been a long period Of suspense
and the end of it is not yet in sight.
But the Germans have not broken
through anywhere. They have not
gained any objective. They have paid
dearly with the lives Of fighting men
for every foot Of ground gained, and,
but for the addition of narrow strip
of land, they are no nearer victory
than they were before the great Of
fensive began.
Military experts now declare that
the secret of the German strategy is
to destroy the British and French ar
mics by striking first at one weakly
held sector and then at another until
the defensive forces of the whole
western front are worn away before
American reinforcements can get into
the war.
To accomplish this major strategy
Germany must do what she is going
to do this summer. 1t is possible
that she has even now waited too
late, for thousands OF Americans al
ready are in France and some Of them
are in the front line trenches. The
fighting qualities OF these Americans
has already been demonstrated, no.
tably at Cantigny, and there is no
true citizen of this republic who
doubts for moment but that when
the full force of this nations army
strikes 1t will be the occasion Of de-
cisive victory.
But. no matter how many men the
United States puts into France or
how we'll they are equipped, the out
come OF their efforts will be governed
by the morale of the people at home.
Germany is seeking to strike terror
to the hearts of the American people
as fiercely as she is to crush the al
lied armies. Red Cross hospitals are
being bombed, ambulances filled with
wounded men are being fired upon
from lowsweeping aeroplanes. and
