For Capt. Friers0n
CMonday's Daily Herald. }

Another exceedingly handsome sub
scription has been made to the fund
from Maury county to erect memo
rial at Vanderbilt University to its
soldier hero, Capt. Meade Frierson
J. n. Jones, OF Tiptonyille, well known
in Maury county, has given $1,000 to
the fund. This information came in
a letter to Major Horace Frierson,
chairman of the campaign committee
for the county.
Henry o. Fulton added $25 to the
list today, which brings the Maury
county contributions up to about &c.
600 In addition to this $4,000 has
been contributed directly to the Uni
versity al Nashville by former Maury
cOuntians, admirers of this gallant
yonng soldier, making the total so far
secured for the memorial around 49,
900 or within $1,000 of the goal that
had been set. 1t is known that there
are other contributions in Maury coun-

PROVIDE MACHINERY
FOR ENFORCEMENT OF
NEW At TENDANCE LAM
TRuANT OFFICER TO BE ELECT
ED BY COUNTY BOARD OF
EDUCATION IN JULY.
NEW STATUTE IS DRASTIC
But Is Sustained BY Public Sentiment
Which Demands That Opportunity
BE Given All Boys and Girls to OBJ
tain An Education.

One of the very important matters
to come before the county board OF
education at its July meeting will be
the selection of an attendance or tru-
ant officer. The last legislature very
materially strengthened the compulso-
ry attendance law and prepared for its
rigid enforcement for its rigid enforce
ment. 1t is made the duty of the
county superintendent to nominate
this officer who will be confirmed by
the county board.
The salary of the attendance Offices
is fixed by the board of education and
the members are already worrying
over the proposition with very limited
funds at their command they realize
keenly that it ia going to be difficult
matter to obtain a capable, tactful,
sympathetic, but firm official without
paying a reasonable compensation.
The attendance officer, like the coun-
ty agent, must have his office under
his hat" that is he must be on the
go" all the time and that of course
incurs an expense. But to be effective
he has got to visit the by ways and
hedges of the county and ascertain
who are the delinquent children and
why they are delinquent in school at
tendance.
The compulsory school law was
passed several years ago but it was
an extremely mild and inocuous stat
ute, intended largely to be education
al, but the sentiment has grown now
until the law makers feel that there
is no longer any good reason why the
statute should not be rigidly enforc
ed
Not only must the pupils within the
ages enumerated attend school at the
beginning of the session, but they
must keep in attendance unless they
have valid excuse. The law has the
full sympathy of superintendent Ora
ham and the members of the county
board

WHEAT HARVEST IN
MAURY COUNTY NOW
ON N FULL BLAST
MANY BINDERS HAVE ALREADY
STARTED ON MISSION TO
GATHER GOLDEN GRAIN.
GOOD YIELD IS PROMISED
Under Government Guarantee Produc-
ers Ought to &c Largest Sum That
They Have Ever Received Tor Sim
gle Seasons Crop.

Wheat harvest has commenced in
Maury county. This. event that is
looked forward to by the farmers with
miyed feelings OF apprehension and
pleasure from the time that wheat
sowing begins in October, for the
eight months next ensuing thereafter,
is here. One of the first crops in the
county to be harvested was that OF
VI. Pinkney Murphey, on the Culleoka
and Columbia turnpike. From pres
ent indications the yield will be splen-
did.
This morning binders commenced
on Fairyiew Farm, the large estate OF
Fleming Rankin Sheegog, always one
OF the most successful wheat growers
OF Maury county. On Wednesday Viii
liam P. Ridley, another big farmer,
will begin to harvest his big acreage
on Clifton Place, The crop on this
farm has been said by many observers
to promise al least as fine yield as
will be made in the state this year
1t is expected that with fair wealth
eh far the remainder Of the week by
Saturday night goodly portion OF the
crop viii be in the shocks. Threshing
out to begin within the coming two
weeks, but that OF course depends on
the weather. The rush for binder
Irvine has not been as great as had
been expected, but many OF the farm
ers have waited for the harvest be
fore buying. They are getting their
Irvine a fraction less than was paid
for 1t last year.
Should the wheat grade up well,
with the guarantee of 1926 bushel
by the government, the farmers OF
this county should receive hand
some sum for their wheat crop. 1t
has been estimated that as much as
$4,000 acres had been sown to wheat
in the county This may be too high,
however, The crop deteriorated some
during the month Of May and the
yield does not promise as we'll as 1t |
did short time ago. But with all
that 1t will bring to the producers the
largest sum that they have ever re.
ceived for single seasons wheat
crop.

the heroic labors and the true con-

phere so as to make them understand

Plant To Be Opened Soon.


Mr.. Aab intends to move into some
other place soon, conveniently located,
and where he has more facilities for the
development of his manufacturing plant.
For the present he remains at the old
garage on South Broadway which has
been bought by Mr.. Nielsen.
The realization of Mr.. Aab's idea
I. e. the erection of a manufacturing
plant for his machine offers New Ulm
Croesuses, little as we'll as big, fine
opportunity for splendid investment.
The advantages offered the city Of New
Ulm in case the new invention is ex-
plotted in our midst and Mr.. Aab is not
forced to move to some other city or
:sell his invention, are indeed manifold.
In few years New Ulm would be count
ed among the industrial centers of the

Of workingmen would be attracted to
the city bringing with them rapid
growth perhaps never dreamed Of before.
