Clyde Harford on U. S. S. Minne
sota May Get Promotion.
A very interesting item regard
ing Clyde Harford of this county,
who is an electrician on board
the U. S. S. Minnesota, in
"Fighting" Bob Evans' fleet,
appeared in the Pamona Daily
Progress which is as follows:
Clyde Harford, a second class
electrician on board the battle
ship Minnesota, was a guest at
the home of Jesse Edmunds on
Tuesday.. He was a friend of
the'Jfamily in the east and al
though having been but a short
time on the Minnesota has been
advanced in position and in all
probability will bo head electri
cian by the time the fleet arrives
again in New York. He is en
thusiastic in his work and the
wonderful achievements that
electricity has been able to ac
complish in adding to the effici
ency of the war vessels. Almost
everything aoout a battleship is
done by electricity, from the rais
ing of the huge anchor to the
peeling of potatoes. An electric
ian finds ample opportunity
aboard a battleship for all his in
genuity and knowledge of this
subtle power. Herald.
