When fortune begins to smile upon
you Is the time you will have to
spunk up most. Then 1t is that most
folks begin to take 1t easy--and fail.
Getting into the public eye Is chal-
lenge to make good. There are thou
sands Of others In the same business.
You must surpass them or remain one
of the crowd. II the place you occupy
gets crowded you must spunk up a
little more. Put on a little more steam,
a little more brains and push are
needed. Maybe the other fellow Is at
his limit now. Keep on pushing to the
front. The courage with which you
strive will receive its reward. Work
with brain and hand and the victory
is bound to be neutrality-suspicious.

Mr.. Schroeder.

For several days r. A. Schroeder,
of the State Geological Survey, has
been in Henry county looking into
the clay deposits of the county. His
presence here has given rise to con-
siderable speculation to his real mis-
sion.
A representative of The Partisan
called upon him and asked for a
statement which he was glad to give
to our readers. He made the follow
ing statement:

Quoted by the Tennessee Geological
Survey at the request of, and in CO.

illogical Survey on the clays of West
Tennessee.
"The field wo.'< is being accom-
plished by Ralf A. Schroeder, assis-
tant geologist, who is planning to
visit, examine AMI sample all locali-
ties where clay If good quality is
known to exist.
"In cases where the quality of the
clay warrants it, ten pound sample
of the pure material is obtained from
the top to the bottom of the clay
stratum and it is sent to the Ceramic
Department of the University of IL
linois, Urbana, ILL.,, where it is anal
yzed by expert chemists and Cera-
miets.
The state is searching for a clay
having the physical and chemical
properties of certain European elays
which may not be imported any
more.
''It must be understood, however,
that the work is not in the nature Of
prospecting, but an investigation, for
a report on clay. Other states are
doing work similar to this
''It would be a good help to the
field geologist if the owner of de-
post would prepare for its examina-
tion by exposing a clean, fresh sur
face of the stratum from top to bot
tom, if possible, or have help ready
to assist in boring an auger hole to
procure fair sample. We also wish

Enthusiastic Y.
M. c. A. Meeting

One of the most impressive and
earnest meetings assembled in Paris
which related in any way to the va
rious war activities was held at the
First Baptist church on Sunday eve
ming.
The meeting was for the purpose
of informing the people relative to
the work of the Y. M. 6. A., and es-
pecially the overseas part, and enlist
ing volunteers for ''Y" work in for
eign lands with our troops.
T. M. Mathis, the state secretary
of the Y. M. G. A., and DR.. E. B..
George, recruiting officer for West
Tennessee, were the principal speak
ers.
Their talks were very impressive
ard they were accorded the most care
full and respectful attendance. These
men had message to deliver and
they made their hearers realize the
vital needs Of the hour in connection
with this work.
Those interested in securing re-
cruits in Henry county realize that
there are a number of men here who
are considering taking up the work
hut just at this time it is deemed
inadvisable to give out any names
However Paris and Henry county
have given their quota for the causes
relating to the war, they have given
their men as volunteers and select
men to fight the Huns, and they will
give volunteers to push forward the
work of the Y. M. C. A.

JUDGE SHIELDS
MUCH GRATIFIED
Expresses Deep Appreciation
To His Friends For Their
Loyal Support
RETIRES FOR A REST
For Next Thirty Days Before
Returning to His Duties
in Washington

Knoxville, Tenn, Aug. 6.-Sena-
tor John X. Shields is very much
gratified and entirely satisfied with
the results of the senatorial primary of
Thursday, in which he was the choice
of the Democratic party Of the state
for the office Of United States Sena-
tor to succeed himself
Senator Shields expressed his deep
appreciation and gratitude to his nu-
merous friends throughout the entire
state for their cordial support and
cooperation throughout the siren
uous campaign and at the ballot box.
He said no candidate for any office
in the history of the state had ever
been more Loyalty favored by the
splendid manhood of the state than
he. He estimate his majority will
range from $4,000 to $4,000, as an
earnest of the endorsement of his
course in the United States Senate,
where he has worked strenuously and
unfailingly for the interests of the
people of his state, as well as for the
advancement of the nation at large.
When told of the Sentinel's special
from Washington to the effect that
the news of his nomination was very
gratifying to the administration and
was received with pleasure and en-
thusiasm in official circles. Senator
Shields said he appreciated this very
much indeed. He said it should be
accepted as further pproof Of the
cordial spirit existing between him
self and the White House and the
leaders in the administration, with
whom he is now and has been in ac-
cord in the general policies having to
do with the conduct of the war and
dther crucial questions before the
American congress and the American
nation.
Senator Shields said it would be
his purpose to continue aggressively
and effectively to serve the people at
home and throughout the land as an
honest. Industrious, conscientious SEN
ator should serve. His experience in
the senate the past five and one-half
years he considers has been valuable
in qualifying him for bigger and
broader work in his future years OF
incumbency in the geratest legisla'
tive body in the world. In return for
the expression of confidence, effec.
lively shown at the polls on Thurs
day last, he pledges the people OF
Tennessee, in the future, as in the
past, to give them the best that is ir
him.
Senator Shields left this morning
for his country home at Clinchdale
where he will rest for thirty dayl
before returning to Washington.

could get another four or five miles
further beyond the Marine he would
have outfanked it. We have seen
how, on the day before, the Ameri-

it eastward toward Epernay, and
throughout the whole of Tuesday his
fight was aimed to effect this. Very
little was done on that day.

Had Anticipated

The two limbs of the sector of his
attack (there was no direct assault
laVched in the immediate 1eighbor

length, ana they made upon the map
a shape like the two limbs of com

Rheims as a hinge. If the enemy
had crushed in these two limbs, or
even one Of them, we should have
had the following results:
