hard toward San Antonio. Thinking
they were only Villa stragglers Ryan
and his companion started to seek
shelter until the stragglers had
passed.
Just then a rancher rode up badly

his ranch personally that morning,
had taken his family and was ap-
preaching with the small band to be
seen in the dust cloud on the hoizon

Prof. d. NJ Clement, agricultural su-

see, is in Columbia today in the inter-
est of the renewal of the contract be-
tween the county high school board
and the federal and state governments
for the continuation of Smith-Hughes
aid in the agricultural department.
Prof. Clement was very much surpris-
cd to find that there was some doubt
of the county again meeting the condi-
tions to secure this splendid agricul-
tural aid, but expressed the opinion
that Maury county was too great an
agricultural county and too progress
sive not to take advantage of the op-
portunity.
1--WE have in Tennessee $S0,000 from
the Smth.Hughes fund this year for
agricultural and vocational education
and every dollar that we do not use
goes back into the federal treasury, :
said Prof. Clement. Il am sure that
the people of Maury county appreci-
ate the great value of this fund and
will meet the condition necessary to
obtain it. With the Middle Tennes-
see Experiment station right at your
doors and with the greatest agricul-
tural county in the state, l feel sure
that the high school board will meet
the conditions and retain this depart
ment. | am coming back Saturday for
conference with Superintendent Ora
ham and Chairman Burns and the
other members of the board
Prof. Clement has recently resigned
as principal of the Grove High School
of Henry county to accept the place
that he now holds. He is one of the
strongest and most enthusiastic young
school men of the state. He was for
