GUN THAT STRAFFED
PARIS STILL A MYSTERY

WITH THE THIRD ARMY ON THE
RHINE, Feb. 2. by MaiD.-The Sc
cret of big Bertha" the huge gun
that fired upon Paris, still is jealousy
guarded. From commission of high
German artillery experts sent to con-
fer with the Third army, American
officers attempted to elicit some de-
tails of the big gun.
The German officers frankly admit
ted that they knew little about 1t.
They declared that information about
the big Berthas" was kept secret
even from the highest German artil-
lery officers. Only few specially
picked officers knew of the locations
or details of the monsters, and the
crews of picked men were sworn to
secrecy and Kept isolated from other
soldiers.
The crew were under oath to com
NIT suicide to avoid capture or reveal
ing information about the guns. The
German officers claimed that they did
not know what became of the guns
after the armistice, but believed they
were destroyed.

900, total of $3,3OOOOO in round
numbers.
M. e. Allen, one leading live stock
dealers in the county estimated that he
did million dollars worth of bust
ness last year. He had associated
with him several buyers whose tran
sactions are included in his business.
Numerous other buyers did prof.
table business.
A special feature of the live stock
business was the trading in grade
Jersey cows and heifers, there being
a big demand for this class of stock
owing to Maury county's reputation as
a pure bred Jersey cattle section
One dealer alone shipped over 600
head of these grade Jerseys, for which
he received an average of at least
500 head.
In recent years there has also been
a notable development in the pure
bred hog business, Durocs being the
favorite breed. Three large breeders
of Durocs hold annual sales that at
tract buyers from all parts of the
country and number of others on
smaller scale ship to distant points.

JERSEY DEMAND FAR
EXCEEDS SUPPLY
BRIGHT FUTURE FOR INDUSTRY
Is SEEN BY A VETERAN \,
OF TRADE.

Few people realize the magnitude of
the grade Jersey cow and heffer bus
mess in Maury county. During the
past year ]. Lem Thomas, now of the
firm of Thomas G. Sowell shipped
more than 1000 head from this coun-
ty of an aggregate value of nearly
100000 as these cows and heifers
will average not very far below $500
each.
Mr.. Thomas has been in the bust
ness of shipping grade Jerseys from
this county for the past twelve years.
He is probably the largest shipper of
this class of cattle in the state. He
declared this morning that never in
all his experience had he known such
a demad for Maury's famous butter
makers as there is today.
ut is impossible for us to supply
the demand that comes from many
sections" declared Mr.. Thomas.
Our people are not producing as
many Jerseys as they did formerly
many going to beef cattle, but those
who are staying with the Jerseys are
sure to reap a rich reward. There
are not enough dairy cattle to supply
the ever increasing demand and this
is sure to mean a permanent source
of wealth to our county"

CAPT. FRANCIS WAKEFIELD
PREPARES FOR RETURN

Capt. Francis Warfeld of the 105th
engineers stated in a recent letter to
his father, s. w. Warfield, that the
30th division is ready to sail and that
they expected to be out of the army
by March 1. His letter was dated
February 3. Delay was not expected,
he said
Capt. Warfeld was promoted to his

armistice was signed and the promo
ton came as recognition for gallantry
in action.
