UNITED PRESS SURVEY OF 6UsI-

BUSINESS CUMMING.
MAURY CoUNTY'S PART IN IT
Continued Prosperity Is Predicted by
- Business Men, Bankers, Farmers

- eryWhere.
(By United Press.)

~ MEMPHIS, Tenn, Feb. 1S.-With
prosperity prevailing on all sides, Ten
ressee, Arkansas, Mississippi and Lou
isiana will enter the peace era un
afraid of the future.
"A careful survey OF business, indus
try and agriculture throughout the
four states, made by the United Press
indicates a progressive wave of devel
opment in this section. Plans for en-
larging industrial plants and business
on broader scale are being rapidly con
Eliminated. Agriculture is on more
diversified scale, improved methods
and machinery supplanting old.
u Due to appeals for general diversi
fed farming during the war, the Mem
phis region alone last year produced
$40 worth of food and silage crops for
each SIT worth of cotton Efforts are
being made to exceed that figure this
spring.
AS in many other sections of the
South, cotton growers are holding a
large portion of the 1918 crop off the
market, expecting higher prices. Plant
ars are better fixed financially than at
any time in the history of the four
states.
Continued prosperity is predicted by
Frank Hayden, President of the Guar
anty Bank and Trust Co., of Memphis,
who declares the only cause for anx-
iety is in finding sufficient jobs for re-
turning soldiers. However, he be-
1ieves this will be largely solved by

HYDRAULIC TIRE
PRESS is INSTALLED
FRY BROTHERS EQUIPPED TIC
PUT ON SOLID TRUCK TIRES
QUICKLY.

In keeping with their past record
Of high class service to the motoring
public and truck operators the Fry
Brothers garage has recently installed
a 200-ton hydraulic truck tire press
for the installation of truck tires.
This press was purchased at tremen-
dous cost SO that the policy and the
slogan of Fry Bros, might be carried
out, which has always been, Service
Well Rendered.
The owners of automobile trucks
are most cordially invited to make an
inspection of their press and full stock
of Goodyear solid tires.
Mr. Fry, in speaking of the proper
kind of service remarked: 'We ap-
preciate the position of the man who
operates a motor truck and realize
how important it is for him to get ev-
cry day service for it, for that reason
we are going to give continuous ser
vice day and night, which means to
have new tires installed the truck
may be sent to our garage late in the
evening TO have the tire change made,
and the truck ready for operation the
next day. We have worked out this
plan very thoroughly and know form
past experience that it means in the
course of year hundreds of dollars
in time saved for truck owners"

These are usually importations from

Another particularly smart importa

with a clasp Of genuine red coral,

LEGION MOVES TO
REORGAN|zE WORK
County Committee Is Called to
Meet Monday to Act on
New Plans
FIVE NEGRO POSTS FORMED

A call was issued yesterday for a
meeting of the county committee of the
American Legion, department of Penn
sylvania, in the Widener Building,
Chamber of Commerce assembly room,
for next Monday night TO consider Il
plan of reorganization along lines de-
fined at the state cantonment and the
national convention in Minneapolis.
simultaneously there was called a
conference of all employment officers
in the seventy seven posts of the Le-
gion in Philadelphia at the City Club
next Tuesday evening, to open the way
for effective co operation between the
posts in the matter of employment.
These two meetings will be of vital
Importance to the Legion. The new
county committee will determine and
carry out the policies of the war vet
erans' organization in the largest mu-
nicipality in the state, and on the exc
cution of its work will depend in great
measure the standing of the Legion
here for the next few years.
Up to date the Legion has functioned
through district leaders and the county
committee. The question undoubtedly
will be raised at the meeting Monday
night as to whether or not the dis
trict representation OH the executive
committee shall be continued or the
committee shall be elected by the direct
vote of the post representatives.
The county committee will be called
upon to determine the extent to which
it shall undertake to solve the problems
of the ex service men and women with
respect to war risk insurance, allot-
ments and vocational training. These
matters, together with that of en-

the Academy of Music. Preparations
for this rally have been made all over
the city. 1t is expected that the audi
Vorium will be filed.
The speakers expected are Bishop
Charles r. Woodcocl;, of Kentucky !;
George g. Thomas, of Baltimore. and
the Rev. Il. Iddings Bell, head of st.

largest ever conducted by the Episco-
pal Church here. 1t will close on De-
