A Thought on Thrift.

You've heard the expression.
There's always room for one mOrer'
and there is great deal of truth in
it. We believe that in this crisis of
the nations history there is room
for one more" cultivated acre on
your farm. Consequently we want
to suggest and urge that you plant
an extra acre Of ground this year in
some crop-preferably a food crop
and use the money you will thus
make to buy War Savings Stamps,
or Liberty Loan Bonds.
In the matter of saving and get
ting ahead, any man of experience
will tell you that the first thousand
dollars is the hardest Of all to make
will tell you that in the beginning
the margin between the thrifty and
the unthrifty man is very small.
One man FORCES ahead just little,
the other man falls behind Just
ittle-but what world of differ
ence in results.
Let's start on the drive ahead by
planting an extra acre and then say
ing the money it makes.

diers who have marched through the
streets of Columbia since the civil
war. Many cheers were given US as
we passed, but most of the people
stood silent, watching us and Won
dering at the future which is in store
for us. Many mothers looked long
ingly for their sons in the line. Lots
of the women waived flags and hand
kerchiefs, all wishing us all the pleas
ure that can come from war time
conditions and a speedy return to
our homes after the conflict is over.
We had to go through the whole
parade of about mile at attention.
MANY of our readers do not know
what that means. For us con-
noneers it meant to sit up, silent,
arms crossed, chins in and not move
our heads. / was glad to hear the
words, "route order" On this march
| saw several of the Weakley county
boys, but all except T. A. Edwards
were in the infantry. On our way
back we stopped to eat our dinner,
which was prepared for us by our
cooks, and while eating, all OF the
infantry passed and l saw quite a
number of Weakley county boys,
among them Waymon Armstrong,
Rudolph Stephens, Jess Margrave,
Herbert Lamb and several more.
Waymon Armstrong was passing and
looked so hungry that ! divided my
dinner with him.
We are now getting some real
practice with our three-inch guns
and doing some good shooting. I
wish | could go into details and tell
all about our work, but l fear it
would not interest civilians.

BARN, FIVE MULES
TWO HORSES BURN

Cashier Chesley Rawls was here
Friday from Palmersville, and in
forms the Enterprise of the burn
ing on Thursday night of the large
stock barn of Mr.. Pleas Wade, a
well-to-do farmer residing just in
the edge of Henry county, several
miles east of Palmersville.
The fire in the barn was discov-
cred about 8 O'clock in the even
ing and burned fiercely. In fact, so
rapidly did the flames eat their way
through the large structure that all
the stock was burned, consisting of
five head of mules, one a $500 mule,
and two very valuable mares. Be-
sides this 10 barrels of corn and
about 10000 pounds Of hay was
burned. Mr.. Wade carried some
insurance.
Last year an attempt, it was
thought, was made to burn this barn.
It was claimed that Mr.. Wade had a
large quantity Of corn, which he was
holding for $40 barrel, and it was
thought some one tried to burn his
barn and corn for this reason. How
ever, this is merely theory, and no
one knows the origin Of either fire.

LIFE IN THE ARMY
TRAINING CAMPS.

Last week the soldiers of Camp
Sewer had two days strenuous
training. The people of Columbia
wanted the soldiers to march on pa
rade for them on Washington's birth
day, and asked the commanding gen.
eraI of this division for this honor.
He granted their request and gave
orders that 5000 men be in the pa
rade. This number was taken from
the different arms of the service
infantry, artillery, signal corps,
officers training schools, negro
troops, pack trains, etc. On Thurs
day morning we were up at 5 o'clock
getting our harness ready to begin
practicing, as we had not been out
much with the guns and horses, so
we drilled hard up till about IL
o'clock, and as we had learned quite
a bit about parade drill in that time,
we quit for the day to let the hors-
es rest to be ready for the next
morning, as we had to get up about
an hour earlier to have them ready
for the parade. About daylight we
had breakfast and started for Column
bia, which is about fifteen mile
trip. OF course the infantry start
ed good while before we did, as it
was right smart walk for them.
Several organizations of the infant
ny carried full packs, which means
that they have to carry about 60
mounds each. I am thankful ! didn't
have to do anything like that, as |
was lucky enough to get in the ar
tillery and my walking turned out
to be riding.
Every one was in high spirits and
all along the way songs we're sung
yells given and every passer-by got
his usual number Of compliments
from the soldiers.
We halted twice before we reach
ed the city. Before we went on pa
rade we halted on a certain street
close to the capitol, and while we
were waiting here the boy scouts
and Red Cross ladies furnished us
with plenty Of drinking water, which
was highly appreciated by the men.
At 10 o'clock we received orders to
get in trim for the parade and every
fellow tried to look his best.
The sidewalks were lined with
thousands Of people who had come
to view the largest number of sol

TO
OUR SOLDIERS.
Mortgages Cannot be Executed On Property
Of Fighters During the Term Of
the War.

Washington, March 16.-Giving
sweeping protection to Uncle Sans
fighting men, the so-called soldiers
and sailors civil rights bill was APP
proved by congress tonight. Presi-
dent Wilson's signature is expected
within day or SO.
Under the provisions of the bill
fighting men and their dependents
are protected against eviction for
non-payment of rent, loss of life in
surance through delayed premiums,
the execution of mortgages against
their property, loss of homes on
which part payment has been made,
taxes or loss of homestead through
absence or non-payment Of fees.
All this protection is given on
condition that a mans normal abili-
ty to meet his obligations has been
materially affected" by his military
service.
The measure has been before con-
gress almost since the first Of the
war. Difficulties Of drafting it and
the protests Of certain insurance,
building companies, and loan compa-
MES and similar interests, delayed its
passage.
With the war risk insurance bill,
it is declared by administration lead
ers, to make up the most liberal leg
islation in protection of a nations
fighters in history. Its final approx
al was by unanimous vote.
The most important features fol-
low:
A lawsuit cannot be settled against
a man who is unable to appear by
reason of military service. Courts
must appoint attorneys for such de-
PENDANTS.
A lawsuit begun by person who
later enters military service may be
postponed until the man in service
is able to give it personal attention.
A soldiers wife or family cannot
be evicted from any premises, rent
for which does not exceed $50 per
month. The court may inquire into
all such cases and make "such or
der as may be just" An attempt to
evict shall be punishable by $1,000
fine.
On homes being bought on the in
stallment payments, the contract
shall not be foreclosed for non-pay-
ment unless court so decides after
an investigation. The court may
then order all payments to date re-
funded. The court may stay pro-
ceedings altogether.
Insurance is defined to include

CLIP THIS AND PIN
ON WIFE'S DRESSER
Cincinnati man tells how to shriVeI
up corns or caIluses so they
lift off with fingers.

Ouch ?lR! This kind of rough
talk will be heard less here in town if
people troubled with corns will follow
the simple advice of this Cincinnati
authority, who claims that few drops
of drug called freezone when applied
to tender, aching corn or hardened cal
lus stops soreness at once, and soon the
corn or callus dries up and lifts right
off without pain.
He says freezone dries Immediately
and never inAames or even initiates the
surrounding skin. A small bottle of
freezone will cost very little at any
drug store, but will positively remove
every hard or soft corn or callus from
ones feet Millions of American women
will welcome this announcement. since
the Inauguration of the high heels. If
your druggist doesn't have freezone tell
him to order q small bottle for you.

GETTING ALL THE
NEWS FOR $3.50.

Subscribers to the Enterprise get
all the news Of all the county for the
low price Of $3.50 per year Prac-
tically all Of them are paying this
new price, as will be seen from our
weekly list Of new and renewal sub
scribers. However, once in while
some one does not see his way clear
to pay the new rate; and, strange to
say, this is generally farmer. The
fact is the farmer and the manufac-
tnrer are the only people whom the
war conditions are benefitting Ger
tainly not the business man.
But the Enterprise believes that
when corn gets to selling at $25 the
barrel, wheat at SIS bushel, hogs at
so cents pound gross, cattle at rs
cents on foot, sweet potatoes at SIS
a bushel, hay at $50 ton, eggs a
dollar dozen and chickens at rs
cents pound, tobacco at so cents a
pound and cord wood at $40 a cord,
we repeat that we believe when these
prices prevail all will he willing to
pay the little measley price of $3.50
for all the county news all the time.
And in the meantime the Enterprise
is going right ahead publishing this
news, giving the late and important
war news, the draft news, which is
so important to all just at this time,
and the many other hundreds OF i'm
portant items to the general masses
of the county.
The Enterprise is not going to be
a Stacker in it's duty toward the cit
liens of this county, advocating every
measure for their benefit, publish
ing the great war news and helping
in the thousands of ways that only
newspaper can do.
By the way, here is the list OF the
