SOME HOG STORY
OUT OF FLORIDA
REPRESENTATIVE LONG TELLS
OF ONE THAT SOLD
FOR $104.
Greenwood, Fla, Jan. 81, 1911

Greenwood, Fla, Jan. 81, 1917
To the Editor of The Herald:
In recent issue noticed, with a
gerat deal Of pleasure your mention
of the sale Of hog to Mr.. Allen for
$71.00, which was claimed as a record
price for hog for immediate slaugh.
ter.
With pride and confidence in the
ability of "The Dimple" to raise the
record price for hogs as well as to
lower the pacing record for PAGERS,
proceeded to extoll the many advan.
tages and possibilities of Old Maury
md wound up by saying that one OF
her latest and greatest achievements
n the live stock was to produce and
ell for slaughter a hog for $71.00.
The first man l unloaded on knocked
he breath out Of me by saying:
Shucks man, that was a pig and no
money at all. We Jackson Coz sold
ne the other day for $104.OO at s
cents."
This is fact, for, unlike Uncle
Newt Due, who only saw the tracks
If the shark that chased man for
miles into the country, l saw the
whole hog.
Please let The Herald come on. We
would regret very much to have it
discontinued.
With highest personal regards and
BEST wishes for the paper, am,
Very truly, your friend,
w. H. LONG.

Millions of men and women take a

Don't put in another day of distress.
Let Cascarets cleanse your stomach;
remove the sour, fermenting food;
take the excess bile from your liver
and carry out all the constipated
waste matter and poison in the bowels.
Then you will feel great.
A Cascaret tonight straightens you

Why Soldiers Must Be Flexi-
bic IN Movement.

Any body Of troops must be flexible In
movement, since 1t may be necessary at
any instant to change its purpose or di-
rection. While such a body, without
Nell-dehned rules, would be most cum
bersome and unwieldy-if not impossible
to handle, it must. in fact, respond to
commands more quickly and precisely
than a boat to its rudder. or an auto
mobile to its wheel A column OF troops
must not only learn to turn at an exact
right angle, but, with equal celebrity, 1t
must be able to shift its movement in
any specified direction, even to the exact
reverse, without losing so much as a
step.
