ANOTHER MAURY
COUNTY FARM
e. /. WILTSHIRE PURCHASES THE
BIFFLE HUNT PLACE ON IRON
BRIDGE ROAD.
SOLOs7, 900 1858, 900 SEED CORN
Double Yield Is All Closed Outflow
Working on Meals Paymaster-This
Corn Nearly All Shipped North.

The Figuers Realty Co. has put
over another deal in Maury county
real estate. This time 1t was the
Biffle Hunt farm of Sc acres to e. l..
Wiltshire for $4,000. This farm is To-
Gated about three miles from Colum
bia on the Iron Bridge road, and Is
a splendid little farm.
Early in February T. N Figuers, Jr.,
of the Figuers Realty Co. made con.
tract with l. H. McKibbon to handle
all of his double yield seed corn. Mr.
Figuers planned very extensive ad-
vertising campaign all through Ken
lucky and placed advertisements in
many of the farm journals, and also
advertised very extensively through
The Daily and Weekly Herald. He
has closed out all of the double yield
corn and has now closed deals for
large quantity of Meals paymaster
corn and is shipping that variety of
corn to the farmers all over Ken
lucky, Illinois, Missouri, Kansas, Mis-
sissippi, Alabama, Tennessee, Arkan-
sas, Oklahoma, Texas, and many
other states and as far north as
Iowa
Maury county seed corn is in great
demand, and Mr.. Figuers, one of the
greatest boosters and advertisers of
Maury county and her resources, is
doing still greater work by placing
this seed corn in the hands of the
farmers all over the country who
know and appreciate good variety of
corn. The seed corn crop was cut
short north last fall by the early
freezes, and Mr.. Figuers knowing
this took it upon himself to arrange
it so that the farmers in our sister
states would be supplied with the best
seed corn possible, which is one of
the most essential necessities to the
farmers and to the country at this the
greatest crisis in the country's his,
tory.

Fifteen negro selectmen left Maury
county this morning on the 1920 train
for Camp Meade, Pennsylvania where
they will become members of the ma
tional army of the republic. The fiji
teen who left here joined eighty five
from Giles county who occupied two
extra coaches on the train. There
were nearly three car loads of negro
soldiers when the train left the sta
ton.
An immense crowd of negroes and
many white people were gathered at
the station for goodbyes The citizen
soldiers from Giles county were full
of enthusiasm and cheered their CO.
patriots as the train pulled in to the
station. The whole bunch of embryo
soldiers, both those from Maury and
those from Giles were full of en-
thusiasm and the only sad faces in
the big crowd were those of the peo-
pie who said good bye and who re-
manned behind.
Judging from physical appearances
and from the spirit with which they
entered the service the hundred men
who lett this morning have every
promise of making splendid soldiers.
If they regretted the occasion that
made necessary their departure for
training camps that fact was not ap-
parent.
The Giles county men were abun-
dainty supplied by the home folks
with eatables to do them until they
arrive at their camp. The same was
true of the Maury county contingent.
The going away of the Giles county
squad was made the occasion for
great patriotic rally of the colored
people in which it is stated more than
5000 of that race participated.
Chairman William P. Ridley, of the
local exemption board, was at the
station this morning to say goodbye
to the men whom his board is send
ing. DR.. Cant, of the local board
spoke a few words of encouragement
and appreciation to the men. The
train pulled out aamid the eplaudits, of
the large crowd, and the answering
cheers of the hundred soldiers. a
Heretofore Maury- county has sent
seventy five negroes to the army.

Fatal Accident.

Yesterday evening about b
o'clock, as The Oasis is informed,
near the pump of the Nogales
Water Company. not far from
the bridge crossing the arroyo
between Ranchito and Colonia
Moderno in Nogales, Sonora, a
bop aged about twelve years,
named Gerardo Osuna, son OF
Francisco Osuua, a stonemason
resident in thativicinity, was run
over and killed instantaneously
bv an automobile run by by the
wife Mr.. Jesus Maytorena, who
was accompanied by her husband,
seated beside her the two being
out for ride in their machine.
The unfortunate tragedy was
purely accidental. The lad who
was playing beside the roadway
started.to run across without not
ing the near approach of the
machine, and the Mortified lady
not realizing that the lad was
anywhere near until he sprang
in front of the auto and was
stricken down. The heavy mach
inc ran across his forehead crush
ing in the skull of the unf ort
unate lad and killing him instan-
tly. Judge of the First Instance
Luis Rubalcava, and Chief of
Police Tiburcio Ruiz arrested the
unfortunate woman and she was
lodged in Jail pending an invest
igation.

SIlGAR REGULATIONS
THREATEN SOME LINES
WITH SUSP 5NSION
Santa Cruz County Has Overdrawn
Already Its Sugar Allotment as Made
Bv The Food Administrations, Cannot
Have Any More

certificates for 35, 750 pounds to
be iss ued in July And restaur-
ants have been given like certi-
fcates for 345O pounds, being
total of 38, 200 pounds for which
certificates have been issued by
the food administrator. And
there 81 dealers who have not
reported their estimates nor
received their certificates.
And there enters the joker.
Under the new regulation of
three pounds of sugar per head
the allotment for Arizona is 702,-
600 pounds of sugar, the popula-
tion being credited at 234, 600.
Santa Cruz county has approxim-
ately 5000 population. At three
pounds per capita the allotment
will be 26, 700 pounds-267 sacks.
But already there have been is
sued for July cei tificates that
call for $4,000 pounds with 20
dealers yet report and receive
certificates, and the allotment
overdrawn II, 500 pounds.
So far as may be concerned
the issue of sugar to the retailers
and restaurants, Mr.. Jones states
that he can bring that within
bounds by issuing certificates to
the retailers and restaurants yet
to apply, in the same ratio as to
the rest, and then when any one
of them presents certificates
give out only one sack for two
certificates. That will bring the
issue of sugar to grocers and
restaurants down to the allot-
ment for the county. But there
will be no sugar for the other
three classes B and D.
The facts set forth in the pro-
ceding paragraph having been
realized Mr.. Jones wired the
situation to State Food Admins
traitor 7. Riordan, at Flagstaff.
He received answer that Glasses
E and G must be given prefer
ence. Then when the gaocers
and restaurants have their allot-
ment that for the entire county
will be absorbed. There will be
nothing for the bakers, ice cream
makers or soft drinks makers.
That will force out of business
the soft drinks and ice crear
makers, and will limit the bakers
to production of bread only.

FILING NOMINATION PAPERS

The new law giving soldiers
the right to vote in the general

date for the primaries on the
second Tuesday in September,
which this year will be the tenth
of the month. Nomination papers
must be filed twenty days before
the date of the primary. In
order to give the soldiers a
chance to vote for candidates in
the primary the question of get.

papers must be filed earlier so
that the names may be plaud on

However, nomination papers
