The fact is, Vim Hepatica is a Ma

the finest herbal remedies known to
medical science, remedies which are
prescribed nearly every day by the
leading physicians Of the world, and
they are all combined into one great

OFFERS $4,000 IN PRIZES FOR PIS
CLUB MEMBERS
Cumberland Telephone Company En-
Live Stock Movement

Announcement is made that the
Cumberland Telephone Company has
contributed $4,000 as a prize to be
competed for by members of the Boys
Pig Clubs in Mississippi, the prize to
be awarded at the State Fair next
fall.
The Company is making this con-
tribution as a part of its general eff
fort to encourage the livestock and
Investigation movement in the south,
and in the belief that there is no bet
ter way to encourage this movement
than by helping to educate the com
ing generation of farmers.
A similar prize was given by the
Company last year and won by Frank
Tate of Clinton, Miss, who secured
a Berkshire boar pig in April, 1917,
and fed it on wheat shorts and milk
three times a day until October goth,
when it weighed 276 pounds, an in
crease from II pounds on April Gath.
The pig won the first prize in the
County Pig Club and was sent to the
State Fair, where it won first prize in
the Berkshire class, and second prize
as Grand Champion of all breeds.
Altogether, this boy counting his
prize money and the value Of pigs
offered, cleared over $4,000, while
the boar itself is probably worth q
good deal more than that, and he de-
clares that he is going to keep on'and
do it again, intending, as he says, ITO
win more prizes and raise better
pigs"

E. L. Cosby, Somewhere in
France" to his Tupelo friends.
When this cruel war is over
And the boys go marching home,
Pm afraid I'll me an outcast
And forever have to roam;
When wound chevrons they exhibit,
And their service stripes of gold,
And they tell admiring lassies
OF their doughty deeds and bold,
I'll be missing from the circle
And nobody there will hear
How Il was but a hero
In the SERVICE OF THE REAR.

Boche to hell;
l never saw a dougout, in fact was

For | performed my duty in the
SERVICE IN THE REAR
When we passed that Glorious Statue
THAT our liberties uphold.
| We looked forward to the future
With ardent spirits bold;
We prated on Democracy
And the freedom of the seas,
And how we'd get the Kaiser
And bring him to his knees,
How we'd face the German legions
Without a trace of fear
But, ah, we had not reasoned
With the SERVICE OF THE REAR.
CHORUS
For Pm an S. O. R. boy-also an
S. 0. L.,
I never saw a battle, o heard

The only Hun I ever saw was a
prisoner de guerre,
A-working just as / was in the
SERVICE OF THE REAR
I've done some provost duty,
Took a turn in warehouse GA;
Hit up the docks at midnight
When the front was short OF hay.
I've set up locomotives,
Then built a mile of track;
Chopped wood and dug some bitches
just TO keep from getting slack;
But though I've done my duty
AS | saw it straight and clear,
I shall never get a medal
In the SERVICE OF THE REAR.
CHORUS
For Pm an S. O. R. boy-also an

So hope at the finale they will
