Wild BLACKBERRIES FOR The
TROOPS
Demand for jam Offers Chance
for Children to Practice Patri-
Otism and Earn Money.

Wild blackberries picked by children
will help the Army and Navy to get the
eleven million pounds of blackberry Jam
they must have In view Of the shortage
of cultivated blackberries, the United
States Department of Agriculture urges
the women and girls and boys to gather
all the wild blackberries they can find, to
supply commercial canning establish
ments.
Blackberry Jam is particularly desirable
because it has medicinal qualities which
counteract certain intestinal troubles, in
addition to its welcome place in the diet
as a sweet.
The wild fruit is not as pulpy and is
likely to be more seeiy than the cultiva-
ted varieties, bat there is an abundance
in many of the Northern States. The
difficulty Of getting heln on commercial
scale has prevented the gathering Of the
wild berries, bat if the children can be
enlisted to do their patriotic rart, it II
give the packers chance to supply waat
the military authorities need. 1t is also

FIRST VERMONT TO GO
Remainder of Regiment tOLeaye
Soon For Another Camp.

Orders have been received at FortEthan
Allen for the removal of the remainder of
the First Vermont regiment to another
station, according to statement made at
headquarters Tuesday afternoon. After
the departure of the detachment of 1,3O0
men last week there were about 700 left
No whole company was sent away but
only portion of each. Since they left,
the mess shacks of each company have
been kept running, as usual. 1t was
stated at the time the First Vermont reg
iment was broken up last week that only
the best men were picked to go to West
field but this was quite the contrary for
it was supposed at the camp at the time
that drafted men were to be sent to the
Post and the remaining guardsmen were
to train them and they we're to be nom
commissioned officers On this account
many of the best men were left behind.
The men now at camp are those who
make up the band, hospital corps, head
quarters troop, several officers, including
Col. Thomas, and several hundred pri-
Yates.
The orders received state that the regi-
ment shall pack and be ready togo at
moments notice and they probably will
leave by Friday or Saturday. Noinform-
alton has been received, however, as to
the destination of the regiment. 1t is
possible, that they may join those that
left first and are now at West6eld Mass
The tents have all been left standing, as
we'll as the mess shacks. 1t is likely that
the former will be taken along but no
orders have been received as to their dis
position.

WilIiamsport and Mt. Nebo Folks
Coming Tonight.

The first delegation to reach the
tabernacle last night was big bunch
of Masons. Seats had been reserved
for them and Bob Jones was glad to
see so many of them.
A few minutes later the boys from
the Military School came marching in,
headed by Colonel Hulvey. AS they
marched in the choir sang "My Coun-
try 'Tis OF Thee"
Soon there followed delegation
frcm the Business College, composed
of about thirty young women. The
boys from the school certainly ap-
plauded when these young ladies
marched in.
The song service was spirited one,
and full of life.
1t seemed that everyone was sing
ing last night whether they had books
or not. The choir sang "All Hail I'm
manuel" again last night in manner
that thrilled the great audience.
! Bob Jones took his text from the
eleventh and twelfth verses of the
thirteenth chapter of Romans.
Some have said that this was the
greatest sermon he has yet delivered.
From the energy and forcefulness of
delivery no one would have imagined
that he was suffering intense pain all

SWEEPING ON
TO RAISE MONEY WITH WHICH
TO CRUSH THE AUTOCRAcY
OF GERMAN..
ahURY COtkiY TO HAYt A PART
Farmers Alone Could Finance The
War, but Other Business. Men Will
Subscribe Heavily to $5,o00,oo0, 900
Loan.

With their hearts and minds set on
the sale of the full amount of Liberty
Bonds to be allotted to Maury county,
the committee appointed by Chairman
H. o. Fulton of the Phoenix National
Band, held the first meeting Tuesday
in the second great campaign to pro-
vide the government with funds with
which to organize and equip the army
that is to crush the German autocracy.
Chairman Fulton stated that he had
not yet been informed what amount
of bonds this county would be asked
to take, but that if the full issue Is
SO, 900, 100000 and the same proportion
is allotted to Maury county as in the
last sale this county will be called on
to subscribe for 100000 worth. He
said that no matter what the amount
is Maury county should not and will
not fail to do its full duty.
The committee discussed the pre-.
liminary plans of the campaign and
, reviewed the financial condition of the
people in this community. 1t was
said that the farmers of this county
are now harvesting the most bountiful
crops and the most profitable crops
that have ever been known and that
they alone could absorb the $4,000
of bonds without missing the amount
from their surplus. But the privilege
and duty of buying Liberty Bonds is
not theirs alone. Business men in all
lines will participate in the subscrip-
tions, which ere in no sense contribu-
tions, but merely loans to the govern
ment.
q Every bond is equal to bullet fred
into a vital spot of the menace Of
autocracy and the power that has en-
broiled the wrold in a war without
parallel in history.
, The government is Offering an issue
VI PEI CcHI JULIUS VIII lHe eXpoCCd-
ton that the people of the United
States will subscribe fully $5,OO0,000,-
900. The bonds are in denominations
of $50 end mutiples. Interest is pay
able semi-annually on the 18th day Of
May and November. They are most
desirable investment, easily converti-
BILE after issue, are as good as cash,
and will be cbtainable everywhere. 1t
is expected that the delivery of these
bonds will be made in 80 days.
Subscribers to the first Liberty
loan bonds, drawing 31a per cent, can
| have their bonds issued at per cent,
or they can get the 31a per cent
bond issued to them at once.
Any bank in Maury county will re.
ceive subscriptions to the second is
sue Of Liberty Bonds and give all de-
tails regarding the payment for them
and how they will be handled.
The local committee will meet again
to compelte details of the campaign
that were not ready for action Tues

WILTSHIRE BUYS
ANOTHER FARM IN
htUay COUNT;
GIVES $500 For M. /. WALTERS
LAND ON DUCK RIVER, TEN
MILES FROM COLUMBIA.
BELltVS IN DEVELOPMENT
Williamson County Land Owner Adds
Another Maury County Farm to His
HoIdings-Thinks There is Bright
Future for Farmers.

E, l.. Wiltshire, prosperous farmer
of Williamson county, who has on
several other occasions demonstrated
his faith in the value of Maury county
soil by purchasing farm lands in this
county, has added another tract of
real estate to his holdings. He has
bought a farm on Duck river, ten
miles from Columbia, from M. L. Wal
ters, for $500, the Figuers Realty
Co. making the transaction for him.
y The farm Mr. Wiltshire has bought
is known as the Squire Gray place
and contains 1O2 acres. 1t is fertile
and can easily be developed under the
expert methods of Mr.. Wiltshire until
it becomes much more valuable than
it is now. In the transaction Mr.. Wilt
shire transferred to Mr.. Walters a
small tract of land in the Ninth dis
trict, valued at $1,000.
: Mr.. Wiltshire is an enthusiastic be
lever in Maury county land as an in
vestment as well as for it's produc-
tivity. He is one who believes there
is more gold under the clods of Maury
county soil than there is in all the
gold fields of Alaska He has faith in
the future of the county and is willing
to invest his money in farms that can
be improved and made more profit
!. able.
Mr. Wiltshire has bought and sold
three farms through the Figuers Real
ty Co. within the past five months on
which he has made profit Of about
$1,000 in clear money. J. H. Hardison
another client of the Figuers Co., has
made almost as much, having made
transactions on three places that have
netted him $4,000 in three months
These results show that there is mon
ey in real estate in Maury county and
that the Figuers Realty Co., know how
to handle the business.
