HEAVY WORK ANIMALS SCARCE
The Wise Farmer Will Breed to Supply
the Coming Heavy Demand,

A threatened annual shortage OF
700, 600 heavy work animals makes it
imperative that farmers ct once begin
to breed tor heavy horse and mule
colts.
Experts say that the war greatly
reduced the number of heavy animals
from which to breed heavy colts.
They say also that many growers
tave concluded that tractors would
reduce the demand for big farm stock,
and have ceased to breed for big colts.
Investigations have shown that on
farms where tractors are being used
the demand for big animals has been
reduced only l.2 ANIMALS per farm.
To overcome any possible shortage
of this type of animals, and to help
themselves have supply of animals
for which there will be heavy de-
mand within the next few years,
farmers in group in each community
should buy big stallion.
The farmer who has big animals for
sale within the next few years will be
the one to cleanup big money.

MAY HAVE BEEN KILLED
Vance Handy Wounded In Action and
Not Heard from Since.

Vance Handy. son of Mrs. Kate
Handy, who was wounded IN action in
France September % and again Sep.
tember 26 has not been heard from tor
over six months and much uneasiness
is felt lest he be dead.
Mrs. Handy received letter from
woman in Iowa asking about Vance
and also seeking information of her
son, who was a friend of Vance Ham
by. The woman stated that at the time
they were reported to have been
wounded several amnulances were de-
stroyed by shell fire and it is feared
that both boys were killed in that way.
If that is the case there is every pro-
liability that their fate will never be
known as such explosions tear every
thing to pieces and destroy tags and
things that would lead to their ident-
ification. Hope of hearing from Vance
is practically abandond by the friends.
Volner Handy was in France at the
time Vance was wounded, learned of
it, got leave of absence and searched
every hospital within 90 miles but
could learn nothing of his brother.
That fact gives further strength to
the probability that he was killed
when the ambulances were destroyed
by shell fire.
Vance Handy was drafted at Virdun,
Okla, where he had oeen running a
barber shop for some time. Several
letters have been written to Vance
Handy by the people at Virdun but
all have been returned unopened.
Volner Handy has written Con-
gressman Hull and Senator Shields
.aakinn- Ah--+ si..s- a~~A euS n@sec1 up.
They have replisd TINT they would do
all possible to get the desired infor-
nation. The family are cl,nging to
the hope that some information as to
his fate may be learned in this way.

ROAD MACHINERY HERE
One Tractor and Three Trucks Appor-
toned to This County,

One caterpillar tractor that weigh
wenty tons, and three gasoline trucks
have arrived at Crossville as the
amount of road machinery apportioneC
by the state to this county.
They are new, having never beer
used, and are part of the 45 million
dollars worth of such machinery thai
the government had left in this country
when the armistic was signed and that
has been given to the states.
The tractor arrived by freight but
the trucks were driven through from
Nashville by Judge S. N. Smith, Bax
ter Burnett, Ray Rector and B. H.
West.
There are several things in the way
of making this machinery available
just now. First there is not bridge
in the county that will hold up the
tractor, which would make it neces-
sary for our bridges to be Temporarily
REINFORCED in some way before it
would be safe to attempt to run the
trcator over them. That would be no
big or expnsiee job, howevr.
Another obstacle is that the county
has no funds of consequence available
tor crushing rock and operating this
machinery in surfacing our roads. That
may be remeided in some way little
later. To operate this mach inery in
the most economical manner the trucks
should be of the self-dump kind, which
they are not. 10 convert the trucks
into the self-dump kind it is claimed
will cost $500 each, which would mean
an expenditure of close to 2,000 BY the
