JVi ad tor Dunham, one of the high pincers
iiilof the' army in this domain.
Hrlgiulier llunhain's most forceful
!; , address was hoard fry a large audience
and it waH evident that tho'spuufcer'tf
' nppeal made a rteol'i Impression 'upon
his .hearers. ; Briefly, Brigadier Dun
' ' '; hum summed up the groat work the
, I Salvation Army did in the front lino
trenches "on Flanders bloody fields"
I where our boys were dying for the
j freedom of the world, or a place in
t '1 tho hearts ot men who fought for
3 freedom, it is almost a toss up' be
I . , tween the Salvation Army and the
It Bed Cross organization.- These men
, ? know first handed of the noble unsel
fish servlco rendered by the Salvation
.Army, but it was to those who remain
ed at heme, Unit lirigadier Dunham ap
pealed. He told of the plans of exten
sion of the work, and how in the past
the Salvation"' Army had been forced
to raise funds with which to carry on
the work of the army, and how ths
army had outgrown this method, and
that business' 'methods of tho present
day had bocn applied. -
Urigadier Dunham, told of the homo
service department of tho army, and
what this branch of the service in
(seeking to aeeompl ink, and' ' 'how the
men who aro "down but, not out" are
""lifted up and given buck tlipir right
ful places among their followmon.
It was a masterly appeal, and had a
' contribution been taken 'lit tho close
of the morning service, it is 'believed
that a large sum to be'uin!fed'towaiid
. ' - : v.
tne quota or Maury county ouuirt nave
been secured.;
, Again in th evening P,rigad!cr Dun
ham addressed a union meeting at tlie
First Methodist church auditorium,
and was heard by a large' audience.
.'Again did 'Tllb "Speaker ' make ' 'a 'deep'
lmpress'on. ,.
In the evening Captain Fuller, of
tho ' Salvationists;-" spoke, at First
Methodist church,' at Spring JlilL and
was heard by a,': large crowd. At tho
samo time Captain Mrs.FuIla spoke
at tho Presbyterian church at 'Mt,
Pleasant. '"'" ' J
The drive for.jmjs for thc amiy, Js
on in this, county, and solicitors will
call for your contribution. The pub
lic Is urged to support, as liberally as
possible the appeal for tfiis ieat, un
selfish organization, made truly great
by tho sacrific es of their members dur
ing the great War recently ' ended.'"
The organization for-the county is
complete and tho campaign for funds
will be pushed as rapidly as possible.
' Those who desire to contribute, and
who are seen by solicitors may send
their contributions to the Chairman of
the organization., Contributions in this
section may be forwarded to Eugene
Anderson, chairman. In the Mt. Pleas
ant community contributions may lie
forwarded to D. W. Shofner and at
Spring Hill to K. H. Ayres, Jr. '
Miss Wooten. 'state' organizer; has
done the proparatoijK work in this
county nnd says she is fully confident
that Maury county, as she always has
in' tho past, will do her full duty in
this great campaign for funds of mer

NASilVlLLH, Tenn., May 12. Ten
nessee is fast losing out asia Wheat
state, as indicated in today's report by
the buroau of crop estimates through
G. L .Morris, its field agent. The acre
age to-be harvested this year is the
smallest sinew tho early seventies,
with' the 'lowest condlflou'on , record
for many years. These conditions are
brough about., by' a very unfavorable
fall for sowing. The lateness of much
of the crop, with the winter freezes,
and absence of snow covering, caus
ed a great deal of heaving, and heavy
abandonment in many parts of tlie
state, until the acreage to be harvest
ed this year is only 12 per cent of last
jjrear. From present indication the
wheat crop'of (he state will only al
low about one and one-half bushel for
each of its inhabitants.
There is the smallest amount of
spring work done on 'farms of the
stat e in many years. Only 50 per 'cent
of plowing and 13 per cent of plant
ing being done by May'1." There has
boon a considerable amount of corn
planted in tlie Eastern part of the
state, but. little in the middle and
western. A fair crop of oats was sown
but in most case,-! late. Only a small
part of tho cotton crop is planted.
Gardens are late and many not yet
planted. Pastures, though late, are in
I'ci'r condition, K per cent of normal.
The estimated alwndoued acreage
of winter wheat in the state is 11 per
