creased love of country was the dissertation Gen Leonard
Wood gave universal military training in speech last
week a luncheon given him in Kansas City, where he
stopped en- route Camp Funston to Chicago take
command of the Central department of the army.
In urging the adoption of universal training, Gen.
Wood pointed the history of the world war into which
the United States entered without any preparedness gave
the lie the fakirs who had said America could have
million under arms over night
mot that should think particularly of war" con-
tinued General Wood. NO one likes war, the soldier
least of all Universal training does not mean war Ra-
ther it the young men of the nation are put in
position for effective industry agriculture
well as in military pursuits.
ITO the critics who insist universal military training
would Prussianze the nation say was not
the military training of Germany that taught the Ger
such brutality and of trocy but their philos
ophy and teachings Switzerland and France trained for
the military greater population than Germany"
To the criticism universal training would keep vast
numbers of men in uniform, General Wood answered
those advocating the plan did desire form large
standing army to keep great body uniform but to
make ready for that uniform when America may be
forced to CALI
Every thinking who is truthful with his
try and with himself that General Wood spoke the
truth The time is coming before long when the courage
of convictions will be put to the test The question
of universal military training no universal military
training for America is coming and will have to be
answered There is only right answer The war just

THE EYES OF WAR

IKE gauzy speck in the pearling dawn,
- We drift through the silent skies,
Over No-Man's Land, where the smOkeball spawn
And the deadly gases rise
We mark the spot where the battery stands
Where sappers toll on the trench-scarred height
We map each mile of hostile land,
While millions writhe in the battle-blight.

No silveTy bugle to speed fight,
Nor the 1utter of banners gay;
Not war-steed's stamping for the fight,

A thrill that lives in the day-dawn's glow
shifting vision of country lanes,
That like ribbons below.

the soil mulch restored or excessive
run-off and evaporation will soon rob
the crop Of much-needed moisture
Promptness in restoring the soil mulch
after each rain Is of great Importance.
This work can be rapidly and less ex-
pensively performed by use of double
cultivators widened, and by driving
astride each alternate row, as by this
practice the mulch is restored in half
the time necessary to drive astride of
every row.
Corn should not be cultivated so
long as the soil mulch is in good condi-
ton and free Of weeds. Corn should
not be cultivated when the soil turns
up in clods, breaking the corn roots
and permitting the soil to dry out to
a greater depth than it would If not
cultivated.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture.)
Approximately 100000,000 acres Of
corn in the United States are annually
given two or more civilizations. Guilt
walton is considered essential in the
corn production. The general purpose
of cultivation Is to promote the early
growth and later development Of the
corn plant. The usual type of culti-
walton Is sometimes modified to meet
special conditions, such as retarding
the vegetative growth of the plant by
cutting the corn roots in early cultiva-
ton. The kind Of cultivation will also
vary to some extent to meet the re-
quirements of different methods Of
planting.
Some of the most successful corn
growers begin their cultivation before
they plant their crop. They claim
that a deep cultivation of the soil at
this time is of as much value as later
civilizations. 1t causes the soil to
warm more quickly, destroys early
weed growth, and incorporates the veg
etable matter more thoroughly into the
soil.
Corn is cultivated to prevent weeds
from robbing the corn of soil moisture
and fertility, to put the surface in the
best condition to absorb RAINFALL to
warm the soil by drying its surface
quickly, and to save moisture by check
ing the capillary rise to the soil sur
face.
Corn should be cultivated often
enough to keep down the weeds and to
maintain loose soil mulch until the
crop has attained its growth. To sat
isfy this end greater number of cul-
tiyations will be necessary when rains
at intervals of a week or so cause
the surface soil to run together and
crust. This crust must be broken and

LANDS SELLING At VI
THREE TIMES THEIR
ASSESSED VALUATION
ATTORNEY CoFFEY BRINGS OUT
INTERESTING FACTS IN TAX
HEARING HERE.
REPORT OF The STATlSTICIAN
VIII Show Big Discrepancy Between
the Value Placed on Property by
the Assessor and That Given by Its
Purchasers.

Some interesting facts concerning
taxable values OF the county will be
shown in, the report of the county
statistician who has been examining
the records of realty transfers in the
county for the past year declared At
torney John Shelby Coffey, of the
state board Of tax equalizers.
These records will show that lands
sold in the county during the past
year have been sold at around three
times their assessed valuation, said
Mr.. Coffey. In some instances sales
of real estate have been made at more
than four times the assessed valuation
Miss Pogue, the statistician, has been
going over the records of transfers
and comparing the prices at which
lands sold with the valuation placed
upon it in the assessment rolls of the
county. This transcript will be used
by the board in arriving at the valua-
ton to be placed upon the lands of
this and other counties of Tennessee.
1t developed in the hearing before
Attorney Coffey that it has long been
and still is the custom in Maury coun-
ty to assess the plants, buildings and
machinery of phosphate corporations,
although attached to and nreality
part of the lands, separately 4as per-
sonal property. Col. John w. Fry,
who is interested in several phosphate
enterprises, stated that this had long
been the custom although it resulted
in much larger assessment against
the phosphate companies than was
made against other owners of real
estate that was improved.

believes that this county is destined
to be one of the first in the South in
the use of motor power in farming op-
erations. In addition to the demon
stration of the various uses of the
Fordson, Mr.. Judd will have a bu-
reau to give the uses of the tractor
service, that is to see that their ma
chimes have proper attention and are

Judd was not ready to announce the
dates for the coming demonstrations
but they will be held probably during

CONFEDERATE BOND
AT MAURY NATIONAL
SOUVENIR OF THE GREAT STRUG-
GLE SHOULD INSPIRE US TO
GREATER EFFORT.

Displayed on the customers counter
of the Maury National Bank is re-
hinder of the bonds of other days. A
Confederate States of America bond
for $500, dated in August, 1861, and
due on July /. 1881, with coupons for
the thirty years attached, is shown.
The bond carried interest at the rate
of eight per cent per ahnum and each
six months coupon was for $50. Only
the first coupon had been clipped.
Probably after that time they were
not worth collecting as the currency
of the Confederaey in which they were
paid rapidly declined after 1862 But
it is a reminder OF what our grand
fathers did that ought to inspire their
descendants to renewed efforts now.
in those days patriots were buying
bonds of a nation that was doomed to
die almost from the first; now they
are asked to buy the gilt edged securi-
ties Of the strongest nation upon the
face of the earth and the richest in
the annals of time. After all can we
say that we are as patriotic as those
noble souls?
