BANKERS TO AID
PORK PRODUCTION
COLUMBIA BOARD OF TRADE MAY
TAKE UP MOVEMENT TO IN
CREASE HOG PRODUCTION.

That the bankers Of Columbia are
ready to assist in financing any plan
A., Of increased hog production that may
be adopted in Maury county was the
reformation secured this morning by
XN, F. Anderson, president OF the
Board OF Trade, who is actively adVo-
eating the cooperation Of the bust
NESS men and farmers in this move
xnent.
II. o. Fulton, cashier Of the Phoenix
National Bank, told Mr.. Anderson this
morning that conditions in Mau-y
county were different from that IN
some sections of the South, and that
a different plan OF cooperation may
be necessary here. The farmers, men
and boys, already are pork producers
and know the business. All that is
needed is some plan to increase the
production. In sections Of the South
where there is large renting or ten
s,fnt population on the farms, it has
been necessary to furnish the brood
ssows to the men and boys and to give
chem instructions on raising. but In
Maury county where most of the farm
rgrs own their own land and already
snow how to raise hogs, the question
as only one of increased production.
1t is probable that at the hog rally
rHxt Monday some definite plan for
bringing about this cooperation oil
farmers and business men will be
adopted

TWO FOXESCROSS
BRIDGE INTO CITY
UNUSUAL OCCURRENCE WITNESS
ED BY MRS. WALTER FRASER
AND SON MONDAY.

When the National Fox Hunters
Association comes to Columbia next
November for their annual hunt
there will be no dearth of foxes, II
an occurrence Of last Monday is an
indication of what is needed. Mrs.
Walter Fraser and her son are said
to have seen two large red foxes cross
the Duck river bridge from Riverside
into the city and then turn their
course down the west side Of the
stream. One of them was so large
that it looked almost like a wolf. Nei
Their of the animals appeared to be
frightened.

TWELVE BELOW ZERO
RECORD Of GRIPPING
BLIZZARD IN hAURY
OLD RESIDENTS RECALL BUT
ONE TIME WHEN TEMPERA-
TURE WAS LOWER.
Be Jan ABOUT 3 P. N. FRIDAY
Little Moderation During Early Hours
of Morning-But There is Comfort
In Thought That it Might Have
Been Colder.
Twelve below zero!

Twelve DelOW zero!
That was the record Friday night
for this section of the Sunny South.
This blizzard is conceded to be the
coolest wave that has been exper-
fenced here in many years. Some res
idents claim to remember when II
was 18 below zero at one time, but
that was about 20 years ago.
Forget your troubles though. It's
not so cold. A. r. Sumner. printing
press erector who is here to set up
The Heralds new press, while hover
ing over the little heater in this Of
flee this morning read letter from
his wife who said that in Brooklyn it
was 20 below zero and that they are
dynamiting the ice in East River so
coal boats could get through, and
policemen are making house to house
trips calling for coal from private
stocks to be distributed to those who
have no coal. It'll get warm by and
by.
Following night and day OF snow
and glaze which covered the streets
with about three inches of slush, the
blizzard hit Columbia shortly after
three o'clock Friday, afternoon and
within an hour the watery streets
were frozen. Then a strong south
east wind veered before night to the
southwest and by eight o'clock the
temperature was approaching zero.
The glaze turned into snow and COW
cred the ground to the depth of four
or five inches.
There was ice in Duck River this
morning and smaller streams were
frozen. Water pipes and heating
plants throughout the city were more
or less damaged. The suffering of
persons who have no coal or other
fuel was intense and live stock also
suffered greatly.

tion of the Nation-Hog Rally Next
Monday viii be Important event

The delay in holding the "hog raj
LILY" in Maury county will not serious
ay handicap the campaign for in
creased hog production. in the opln'
ion of the leaders who are planning to
make the rally next Monday at 10
o'clock at the courthouse tremen-
Adous drive for greater production OF
food stuffs.
The same program that has been
announced for the meetings last
week will be followed. which includes
talks by farmers, bankers and other
Business men on the, methods to be
adopted for increasing the number OF
brood sows in Naury county by 1900.
N. A. Mclean. county farm demon
astration agent, who is directing the
campaign, stated this morning that
every county in the state is pushing
The campaign for more brood sows
and that it is up to every good farm
er in Maury county to do his part.
Fat is most essential both for food
sand ammunition" said Mr.. Mclean.
land the hog is the quickest way OF
getting the fat. Every man who does
mot go to the firing line should do his
part in aiding to win the war by rails
ing every possible crop and increasing
/. the number of hogs.
"The hog rally next Monday is to
get the people more interested in in
.rcreasing the number of brood sovs
d; and every farmer should attend and do
Il his part. Cards have been distribut-
Led in every community for finding
who has brood sows for sale and also
now many brood sows are wanted by
ssach farmer. Those who receive these
>scards should sign them and let us
send a good report from Maury county
that will make them all take notice.
Commenting on the pork situation
In America, Mr.. Mclean said: More
/, hogs were slaughtered at home and
:. shipped abroad than were raised in
the United States during 1917. Yet,
there were 100000 less slaughtered
ehan in 1916. A Is per cent increase
mas been asked for in every county in
the United States.
-Maury county is asked for only
1900 increase in brood sows. Maury
county farmers claim that they can
obtain shoats and hogs for fattening
j n the fall, but this condition has
changed. Thousands of cars of good
brood sows have been marketed this
last month and this is our only
source Of getting pigs.
Every farmer should SOW some
KIND OF hog pasture next month. A
mixture of rape, three pounds to the
acre, with / bushel OF burt oats, will
afford good grazing until some other
grazing crop can be turned on. With
4svazing crops we can carry our brood
,ssyws through by feeding only about
aIwo pounds OF corn per day for each
hundred pounds CT weight"

After making diligent search for all

unable to locate IS Of them. He
would be glad to secure any informa'

suggests that their friends and rela'

Not including the delinquents, onE
43e more registrants remain to De

several days within which to file their

easy to estimate that less than 70
registrants will be delinquent and
most of them are negroes who work
from place to place and are hard to
locate. The percentage OF delinqu

ASSISTANCE OFFERED
DEPENDENT WIVES
Of MEN IN SERVICE
HOME SERVICE COMMITTEE OF
RED CROSS TO GIVE iNFoRMA-
TON REGARDING RtGHTs.
| ALIGN ANCE AID INSURANCE
Soldiers and Sailors Should be Re-
minded That They Are Expected to
Send a Part Of Their Pay Home aad
to Take Out insurance.

| A. l.. Walker, chairman OF the HOne
Service Committee OF the Maury
county Chapter of the Red Cross ID
now engaged in the important work
of informing the wives and other de-
pendents of soldiers as to their rights
and privileges Of support from the
men in the army. Even though 1t Is
compulsory on the part of husbands
to allot a portion of their pay to their
families, many men will. no doubt, de-
lay the matter; and still others. who
do not have to allot portion OF their
pay to other near relatives who have
depended upon them, will neglect to
do so. To safeguard against these
omissions on the part of the men Is
the duty of the Home Service Com
mittee.
Mr.. Walker has issued the follow
ing statement of information to wives
and other dependents:
"A law has been passed at Wash
ington requiring man in the army
or navy to give a part of his pay to
his wife or children. The govern
ment will also give them family al
lowance, in addition. while the man
IL in service.
THE Maury county Chapter of the
American Red Cross has provided a
place where information concerning
allotments, allowances. powers Of at
torneys, insurance, ETC., for families
Of men in service can be obtained
at is at sos South Main street,
where you may come and find out
free of charge, all about your rights
under the new law.
THE Home Service Committee is
glad to be of service to you in this
way, just as we stand ready to help
or advise you in any matter which
may be troubling you because of the
absence of man from your family"
Insurance and Compensation.
The insurance offered by the gov
eminent Is at a much lower rate than
that obtainable under any other plan
that has been previously made avail
able. The families of men in service
should be advised to communicate
with their relatives. and to urge them
to avail themselves of the insurance
offer. Even though the government,
through various sources and methods.
has presented to the men in training
camps the benefits and protection the
the insurance offers, many men will
not take out the insurance, unless
urged to do so by their families
Men in the service on October 18th,
1917, have until February 18th, 1918,
in which to take out insurance. Men
entering the service after that date
may take out insurance within one
hundred and twenty days after en-
listment.
The compensation features cover
ing death or disability, whether par
tial or total. will naturally interest
only the families of men directly AT
fected.
