BINDER AS EFFECTIVELY
AS ANY MAN.

Although the war is over farm labor
is still scarce and hard to obtain in
this county and the corn in many
fields is in the weeds, the harvest is
here and clover must be cut. But if
all the farmers wives come to the
rescue as Mrs. Allen Matthews of the
fifth district has, the shortage of labor
would soon be met. Mrs. Matthews is
running big binder, pulled by three
mules and is demonstrating again that
women can do anything that man
can do and do it as well or better.
She is cutting wheat at the rate of
about fifteen acres a day. Women
Hike Mrs. Matthews in France and Eng
land and in America contributed very
materially to the winning of the war
for civilization.

SAVING DISCHARGES
BY RECORDING THEM
WITH THE REGISTER
MANY SOLDIERS AND SAILORS
TAKE ADVANTAGE OF RECENT
ACT OF LEGISLATURE.
PRESERVE PRECIOUS PAPER
Loss by Fire or Theft Is Guarded
Against AS Certified Copies Are
Made As Good As the Original Un-t
der the Law.

Soldiers and sailors are taking adj
vantage Of the recent statute which
gives them the right to register in the
county registers office their discharg-
es from the army or. navy. In this
way they have safeguarded docu-
ment that will be increasingly valua-
BILE and precious to them.
A large number of these discharges
have already been registered with
County Register J. j. Pogue, but only
small portion of the number, in the
county. Not only may veterans of the
recent war register their discharges
but those who have discharges from
any war may do So. There are prob
ably more than a thousand in the
county discharged from the army and
navy during the past six months who
can record their discharges. Then
there are veterans of the Spanish
Aulcl lCdH wal, luc McAlCdh pOuuudiy
affair and others in the county who
still hold their precious discharges.
The county register is making a
small charge of recording these pa
pers. When once registered they are
not only safely of record, to be forev
er preserved as public property ina
fire proof vault, but certified copies
may be received as proof in any court
of equity in the land. The original
may be lost or mislaid but if it has
been registered all that will be neces-
sadly will be to go to the registers Of
fee and get certified copy.

My Dear Mr.. Finney: !
Mr.. w. E. Myer is compiling in book
form for preservation, records of In
dian mounds, burying grounds or any
archaeological remains to be found in
Tennessee, and desires descriptions OF
such furnished to him by June 20.
Tennessee, it is said, is as rich as
any state in these remains and each
county contains surprisingly large
number of them, many more than we
suspect.
/ wish you would kindly mention
this in The Herald, asking that some
interested citizen send me at the very

such as may be in his neighborhood. |
am told that they are to be. found
scattered up and down every stream

Mr.. Myer wants location (nearest
what stream and nearest village or

each) the dimensions, height, ETC., and
if it has been explored at any time.
Indeed, please give us as full descrip-
ton is detail as may be of use to fu-

FOR PROTECTION OF
WHO IIfEE Of STATE
MIDDLE TENNESSEE FISH AND
y GAME ASSOCIATION WILL
BE REVIVED.

Members of the Middle Tennessee
Fish and Game Association, which
has for some time been in a state OF
innocuous dissuetude, are preparing
to bring it to life again within short
time. They have been assured of the
hearty cooperation of State Game
Warden Howser who will come to Co
lumbia and meet with the members
Walter D. Hastings, secretary and
treasurer; Oscar Glenn, sporting en-
thusiast; Mayor Joseph M. Dedman
and John w. Jackson were the moving
spirits in this organization and they
have been asked to revive it to be
used among other things for the pro-
lection of the wirld life of the state.
In a letter to Sportsman Glenn, OF
the tribe of Isaac Walton, Mr.. Howser
says: ''It is absolutely necessary to
protect the wild life of the state
through cooperation among the true
sportsmen. When it is convenient for
you to meet advise me and l will ar
range to be present"
In view of the fact that Secretary
Hastings is spending this week fish
ing on Duck river it is hardly proba.
BILE that there will be any fish to pro
tect in that stream when the associ-
alton meets.

Road Commissioners of Maur
county are busy these days estimat
ing the revenues to be derived iron
the various road levies and proratin,

and roads of the county.
- The commission is being aided il

lrjob Of considerable magnitude ant
necessarily the estimates of revenues
must be more or less speculative al
though enough data has been obtain

ers to get fairly accurate estimate
of the vehicles in the county and the
taxes they will yield.
From auto taxes, from vehicle taxes
communication taxes and the property
levy OF 20 cents on the 500 of tax.
able wealth it is roughly estimated
that the commission will have an az.
gregate revenue of about $4,000 to
expend in road maintenance and re-
pairs during the coming year.
There are in round numbers 1000
miles of public highways in the coun-
ty. Were this sum evenly divided
among the roads it would give each
%
mile about SIS which, it is conceded,
would be wholly inadequate for the
task.
OF course 1t is not planned to make
any such divisions of the funds as
the travel on some of the main high
ways is many, many times as great
as 1t is on some of the others. The
traffic on a road, the population serv-
ed by it and other factors must enter
into consideration in making an ap-
portionment of funds. Necessarily
some roads will receive very much
larger sums than other roads.
But an average Of seventy-five dol
lars a mile shows how little the Of
ficials really have with which to work.
The government estimates that it
costs $12,000i a. inilg IN shuiid 'itsrpers
manent highways, SO that the county
fund if used exclusively for building
permanent roads, would construct
just about seven miles in one year.
At this rate it would require twenty
years to build all the highways from
the county seat to the county line and
nothing allowed for maintenance.
The commission and engineer ex-
pect to complete their task during the
week when full statement will be
published of the amount of the fund
and how it has been prorated.

EIGHT PULASK|AMS !.
WOULD HANDLE MAIL
FOR THEIR UNCLE SAM
LARGE DELEGATION HERE TO
TAKE EXAMINATION FOR
POSTMASTER.
TWO EDITORS IN THE LIST
Former Legislators, Postofflee Clerks,
4 Ex-county Court Clerk and Ex-sher.
3 IN Are All"Anxious to Succeed Late
1 Postmaster Gilbreath,
wednesdays Daily Herald)

| wednesdays Daily Herald) :
No less than eight applicants arriv
ed this morning to take the examina
tion for postmaster at Pulaski, the of
fee being made vacant by the recen
death of Postmaster Gilbreath. I'm
der the new regulations applicants fol
appointment to presidential postoffic
es must take and stand an approved
examination. The Office is one of the
best, in fact, the second best presi
Dental plum in this congressional dis
trict, paying salary of not far from
$4,000 year.
A warm contest is going to be stag
ed, for among the applicants are both
OF the fighting editors" of the two
Pulaski newspapers. They are w. B.
Romine, editor of the Pulaski Citizen,
and Laps D. McCord, the editor and
publisher of the Giles County Record.
Just why they want to exchange the
splendid jobs they have now of saw
ing the county and helping to save
the state and nation once every week
for the mundane job of reading post
cards and sorting mail, neither has
explained. But it is said that both
of them long ago came to the conclu-
sion that their services for party and
country entitled them to reward. Mr..
Romine is a veteran in politics, hav-
ing twice represented his county in
the legislature.
Other applicants are Former Sheriff
F16urnoy English, Mrs. Hugh Wilson,
Earl Wilkes, Mahlon Webb. Joe Gill
breath and J.. w. Flournoy. Two of
the number are in the postoffice force
now and Mr.. Gilbreath is son of the
late postmaster.
Ex.Sheriff English is one Of the best
known citizens of hi scounty. He
served two terms as sheriff and was
probably the Youngest man ever e1c..x
ed to that Office in Giles county. He
was later warden of the state prison.
In August, 1917. he volunteered for
the second officers training camp, was
accepted and sent to Fort Oglethorpe,
but was later discharged for alleged
disabilities. Aa matter of
fact all the candidates at Fort Ogle-
thorpe with few exceptions of the age
of Mr.. English were discharged. Only
young men apparently were wanted.
Being denied service at the front he
did all he could at home to aid in
winning the war. He was for time
attached to the Tennessee insurance
He is engaged in the in
surance business.
Mr.. Flournoy has been prominent
in the politics of his county also and
served twice as county court clerk
and was also member of the legisla-
ture. The examination is being held
at the postoffice and will occupy the
greater part of the day.
