MUCH FLOWING DONE
BY MAURY FARMERS
UNUSUALLY GOOD WEATHER
HAS MADE 1T POSSIBLE TO
PREPARE EARLY.

That the farmers of Maury coun-
ty are in better condition for the
1919 crops than they have been this
far in advance for many years, is the
observation of Ex-Sheriff J. Walter
Griffin, whose business carries him
into all parts of the county
There is more land plowed and
ready for planting than | ever knew
before this early" said Mr.. Griffin,
''and there is every indication that
Maury county is preparing for the
production of another bumper crop"
Mr.. Griffin attributed the advance
of farm work to the remarkably fine
weather for outdoor work that has
prevailed almost continuously during
the fall and winter and also to an in
crease in farm labor and work stock.
Other observant men confirmed the
statement of Mr. Griffin regarding the
amount of blowing that has been done
and joined with him in the prediction
of another bumper crop and prosper
Gus year.

IRA HARRISON FOUGHT

ED NIGHT AND DAY TO SUP
PLY MEN AT FRONT.

None of the thrills or dangers of the
fighting front were experienced by
Private Ira M. Hardison, @. M. c. 74S-
496, Supply Co. 1873, A. E. f., but, as
he expressed it in his Christmas let
ter to his father, Joe S. Hardison, sos
High street. the part he played with
a continuous battle of boxes, cases
and bundles of foodstuff in the S. o. S.
that kept the men at the front in con
dition to do the actual fighting The
part of the S. 0. S. in the war will go
down in history as one as heroic as
that of the men in the trenches. Pri-
vate Hardison told how he and the
men with him worked day after day
and late at night to keep the supplies
moving. He spent ten nights in the
refrigerating plant at Gievres, the larg-
est plant Of its kind in the world,
stacking beef at a temperature of zero
to five below. That was but one of
the heavy tasks he assisted in per-
forming.
Private Hardison's description of
his trip across was intensely inter
esting, telling how it was that on June
5, 1918, just one year to the day after
he had registered for military ser
vice, he boarded the transport Martha
Washington for France. He landed at
Brest and was soon afterward moved
into the interior and finally stationed
at Gievres, large intermediate sup
ply station that received supplies
from the base ports and forwarded
them on to the railroads and trenches.
One Of the most valuable of his OK
periences was given as the privilege
of meeting so many good fellows from
all parts of the United States, so he
believes whenever he travels in this
country he will meet a good friend in
any city he visits.

Mr.. Longs report stated that the

He points out that the line is parallel
to other power lines, crosses telephone
lines and passes through the limbs
of trees, all of which creates a haz-

in contact with a telephone line it
would be disastrous, in the opinion of

OF Staff, and made public to-day, Gen.
Pershing is authogized to make such
promotions as vacancies in the author

nit, and the same pratice will be fol-
lowed with respect to the army in the
United States.
The new policy applies up to and In
GLIDING the grade of Colonel. and under
II officers, both line and corps. who are
holding commands or details which
should carry with them higher rank
than the holders now have will be ad-
vanCed. This Is to be accomplished in

may be officers OF proper rank for such
positions, Gen. Pershing being given
specific authority to I'LL vacancies by
promotion rather than transfer where
in his judgment that course Is wise. He
also is directed TO send home any sur

The new orders safeguard the pre-
