a LII things come to him who waits
and so II comes to this country,
which has been waiting over 1000
years to become the friend and guard
ian Of Mt. Ararst. The United States
has been asked by the sheik Of those
premises TO take them under our shell
tering wing. II is certainly the poetic
achievement Of all the centuries that
this Republic should be asked to take
a paternal care Of the mountain which
saved the human race from complete
obliteration. Our respect for old
Noah and his great enterprise viii
certainly move us to embrace within
our love and duty the Mt. Arara,ans
who have escaped the flood What poet

brought in by the dove Of peace AID

locking out from the windows of the
ark at the receding waters. Let US
append TO our noble cognomen new
relation, and be hereafter known as
the United States of America and Mt

burned to the ground without melting
the ice, and next morning the iceman
had out a sign, Business as Usual, !"
urging the purchase Of his fireproof

at least have waited until the ice cool

CURRENT COMMENT.

A LITTLE New York boy from the
East Side went to France early in
the war, During one OF the battles
he was hit by shell and mortally
wounded, 1t was evident. when he
reached the hospital, that he could
live but short time. He was lying
on his little white bed nearly gone
when one Of his pals" happened
along. STOPPING over the boy he whis-
pered. Jimmy, where were you hit ?"
Jimmy opened his eyes and answered,
81 was hit at nay post" With these
words on his lips he died. apparently
satisfied in the knowledge that he had
been "hit at his post What more
glorious death is there for any man
than being "hit at his post ?" The
world has little time for the man or
woman who quits, who forsskes his
or her post in time OF danger or Of
peril. Stick to your post, no differ
ence what the odds.

CREAMERY PLEASES
FOLKS Of COUNTRY
FARMER DECLARES IT WILL
MAKE MAURY COUNTY RICH
Err THAN EVER.

mo better news has been publish,
ed in The Herald recently than the
announcement that we are to have a
modern and up to date creamery lOcat-
ed here" declared one of the best
known and most progressive farmers
of the county today. Il have long
hoped for such a plant here. Maury
county should be the foremost dairy
ing county of the South and Columbia
ought to be the standard milk and
butter market Just as it sets the pace
in the mule market. We have an ideal
climate, water, soil, lime, everything
that is necessary for the highest de-
velopment of the dairying interest If
the farmers of Wisconsin with eli
mate, that would bluff any farmer in
Maury county, with soil that naturally
does not touch ours, can grow rich in
the production of milk and cream, we
assuredly should and will find the dali
rying business the most profitable the
county has ever known. Messrs. Low
ell, Chapman and Clopton deserve the
thanks of every farmer in the county"
The announcement of the establish
ing of a creamery here to take care Of
all milk and cream products of the
county was received with many ex-
pressions of gratitude not only from
the farmers but from the business men
of the city Such an institution has
long been needed in the city. For
years The Herald has insistently adj
vocated it.

OF COUNTY
NOW SOWING CLOVER
OF ANY PREVIOUS YEAR, 1T
is ESTIMATED.

Farmers of the county have. COM
menced to SOW what will be the larg-
est acreage of crimson clover ever
sown in Maury county. Much Of the
land is already prepared but there are
scores of farmers scattered over the
county who are still at work on the
preparation of their land and who will
not sow for couple of weeks yet.
The government experts urge that
the seed be put in the ground as soon
after August 20 as possible, provided
there is a good season in the ground.
But the seed can be sown until the
middle of next month, and it will prob
ably be that time before the entire
crop is planted.
One farmer who has been very sue
cessful with this great legume and
winter pasture declares that the Sc
cret of success lies in proper prepa-
ration of the soil He lays special
stress upon packing the soil. The
use of a cultipacker is recommended.
This farmer declares that he has his
seed bed so firmly packed that it
hardly shows the print of a mules
foot.
One encouraging feature of the sit
uation is that the price of seed is not
going to be as high as anticipated
some time ago when it was feared that
seed would cost the farmers around
SIS bushel. 1t will be considerably
less than this. Some farmers in Frank
lin county are offering their seed at
under $40 bushel.

trains the engine was detached from
the cars, the throttle pulled wide open
and it was started on a wild run South.
The engine stopped just north Of
Wales from lack OF steam, or nearly
twenty miles from where ii started.
Fortunately there were no other trains
on the road and no damage was done.
The robbers proceeded to rifle the
mail and then the four got away in a
high powered car which was standing
on the road just east of the point
where the robbery took place. The
train crew proceeded to Culleoka at
once and got in touch with the dis
patcher's Office here. lmmedi-
ately an engine containing Special Of
ficer Roy Rigsby and City Marshal
Tom l.. Mclean was sent to the scene,
arriving there about an hour after the
robbery. Good descriptions were OBJ
tanned of the men but no clue as to
their identity or the probable direction
in which they left the scene could be
obtained.

Be SUPPLEMENTED BY COUNT
Big Territory Now Isolated VIII Be
Brought into Contact With the Rail-
road Through the Generosity of the
People.

Citizens of the Bryant Station and
~Leftwich Bridge communities have
subscribed over $500 for the purpose
OF constructing a first class highway
from Leftwich Bridge to Bryant Sta
ton, distance something over four
miles. This sum will be supplement-
ed by the county board to the extent
of $500 or 5000 The members of the
board, so much gratitied at the display
of public spirit manifested by the peo-
pie of that section, are going to be just
as liberal as possible in appropriating
supplemental funds.
A good road from Bryant Station
on the Nashville, Chattanooga & St.
Louis railroad to Leftwich Bridge on
Duck river has long been an urgent ne.
cessity for the people of that section
OF the county. The section through
which the road would be Immediately
constructed is not Of the richest in the
county, but it would open up to the
outside world some of the best terrific
ry in the Eastern section The peo-
pie are at last aroused to the impor-
lance of having just the connection
that this road would give them and
they have gone after it in the best
way ever known, that is they have
gone down in their pockets and pro-
posed to pay for about three-fourths
of the cost
Labor and materials and wagons
and teams and money have all been
contributed with surprising liberality,
and it would not be surprising to the
road officials if the total gifts did not
run well over $4,000. This with the
money that will be voted by the board
will give something like 5000 a mile
for the road.
County Engineer Butler was in that
section of the county on Tuesday sur
veying some changes that will be nee
essary in the right of way in order to
cut down grades and straighten out
crooks.

EXPECT RECURRENCE
INFLUENZA EPIDEMIC
MISS ELIZABETH CANNON HERE
TO TRAIN CLASSES FOR HOME
TREATMENT.

Miss Elizabeth Cannon, Red Cross
nurse detailed to the Maury Chapter
to train classes in home care of the
sick, is here and will Immediately be-
gin the formation of neighborhood
and community classes. Information
about text books and classes can be
had at Red Cros headquarters, North
Main street.
Physicians and health men all over
the United States are expecting a re-
currence of the influenza epidemic OF
last year and in some parts of the
country more cases have already been
reported than at this time last year.
The people must prepare to meet this
epidemic so they will not be caught
in the helpless condition of previous
times. More lives were lost from the
epidemic than from the war. There
is still a shortage of nurses and will
be for some time, so the responsibility
of the care of the sick will fall large
ly upon the women of the community.
The Red Cross is trying to help them
meet this responsibility by these
home nursing classes, in which simple
rules in hygiene and sanitation are
taught, also the care of children,
baths and simple home treatment

ROAD PAY ROLL
FOR PAST WEEK
WAS LARGE ONE
NEARLY $4,000 PAID OUT ON SAT-
URDAY BY COUNTY HIGH.
WAY COMMISSIONERS
SCORE OF ROADS IMPROVED
In Addition Drafts Were Made on the
State Funds for Hundreds of DOL
lars Money Being Advanced by Pub
lie Spirited Citizens.

Between $4,000 and $4,000 was paid
out by the Maury county road com
mission during Saturday for work
that has been done during the past
week on the highways of the county.
The Offices of the commission were
crowded all during the day and Coun-
ty Superintendent Butler was as busy
as bee making out and approving
pay rolls for work on the roads. 1t
is some job to make out these pay
rolls and when there are a score or
more OF them the task is one of con-
siderable magnitude.
In addition to payments that were
made from the county fund several
hundred dollars came from the state
funds. These EayrOlls must be made
in triplicate, duly sworn to and ap-
proved by the superintendent. They
are forwarded to Nashville for pay
ment. Since, however the men who
do the work on the roads are not so
situated that they can wait indefinite
ly for their money, Joe Chapman, one
of the most public spirited men of
the county, on Saturday was good
enough to advance the money to meet
the state payrolls.
Work has been done during the past
week on a score or more of the impOr-
tant roads of the county. COnsidera-
BILE grading has been done, bitches
have been cleaned out and mlch grav-
ell and metal has been hauled. Graft
flying reports are coming in of the ex-
tent and value of the work that has
been done, although, of course, there
is the usual amount of criticism of
some Of it. Since all do not agree as
to the best method for repairing
roads some criticism was naturally ex-
pected.
The commissioners expect that
more work will be done this week
than was done las, Many roads upon
which it has been impossible hereto
fore to get labor win be worked this
week.

SOUTH COLUMBIA LAST NIGHT

The engine which took the officers
to the scene assembled the train again
and it proceeded on towards its desti.
nation at about three o'clock this
morning, about three hours late. Train
No. was nearly two hours late this
morning. Il.
Although the four robbers were all
masked one of them dropped his mask
before the train was stopped. The
train crew declared that three of the
four men were boys not over twenty,
one years of age, and they even doubt
ed if they attained that age. The 9th
er was an older man. Considerable
excitement was created at Culleoka
and Lynnville and other places along
the road among those who CHANGED to
be up and who witnessed the wild en-.
CINE in its mad career without pilot or
fireman. II is said to have been MAX
ing not less than a hundred miles an
hour on its dash through the town OF
Lynnville. 1t was not damaged when
it came to stop about seven miles
