ANOTHER WILTSHIRE
EATtRS THE HOG And

VESTS IN SPLENDID MAURY
CO. FARM NEAR COL UMBlA.
SIX Men WANTED THIS PLACE
Figures Realty Co. Sees Its Prediction
and Advocacy Adopted by State and
National Governments for Increas-
ed Hog Production.

Another Wiltshire has entered the
"hog and hominy game" in Maury
county. Claude K. Wiltshire Of Flor
ence, Ala, for 20 years connected
with the Miner Drug Co., Of that
city, has bought through the Figures
Realty Co., from w. E. Britain a
splendid 40 acre hog and hominy"
farm five miles west of Columbia. Mr..
Wiltshire is a brother of e. L. Wilt
shire, who has bought and sold five
Maury county farms through the
Figures Realty Co. within the past
three months.
w. +. Britain bought the farm he
sold Tuesday only few days ago
through the Figures Realty Co.. as an
Investment and expected to hold it
about two years while developing it
for sale, but when he was offered
nice profit by Claude r. Wiltshire he
could not resist the temptation to
trade.
The day the sale was made to Mr..
Wiltshire six other men from six diff
ferent counties were in the Figuers
office seeking to buy the same farm.
They were clients to whom the
Figuers company had been mailing
The Herald in which this farm had
been extensively advertised and they
had been convinced that it was bar
gain and one that would make them
money either as an investment or as
an operating proposition.
1t is significant fact that the
state and federal government are
now bending every effort to do just
what the Figuers Realty Co.. has been
advocating for two years, to increase
the corn and hog production to meet
the demands that the war situation
has brought about. The results of the
Ftguers advertising are being felt not
only in the sales of farming real
estate in Mau1y county but also in
decided tendency to grow more hogs
and corn in this section of Tennessee
There will be county rally for in
creased hog production in Columbia
next Friday, January II, which will
further emphasize the necessity for
more hog and hominy' in Maury
county.

A. l.. Williams, a leading bust
ness man of Baker, Oregon, who
for many years, has been valued
and prompt-paying subscriber OF
The Herald, writing last week to
renew his subscription, speaks
thus kindly of our town:
"Glad to read in your paper,
that Punta Gorda at last seems to
be recognized by the government
and that there may be some naval
or government station at Punta
Gorda. Certainly it does seem
strange how fate appears to keep
some places back; but, by the law
of evolution, every thing comes a.

ness and circumstances prevent me
from being at Punta Gorda, but so
it is.-Wishing you a very pros
porous new year." etc.

Turn Cash Into Gun Fire

We fought and won the Spanish
war with 10000 soldiers and a
$200,000,000 bond issue. In men
under arms we now have ten times
that number. We issued ten times
that amount of bonds in the first
Liberty Loan. We are proposing
to spend and loan to the allies in
| the first fiscal year of the war &c.,
I000,000,000. From now until the
end of this fiscal year the treasury
anticipates needing $1,000 100000 a
Iweek-that is, the treasury has
got to fight financially a Spanish
war every four days. That indi-
Gates money measure of the size
of this work, but that is not the
real measure. We have just seen
that one might have plenty of
money, but an empty coal bin. In
just the same way the government
can have plenty of money, but an
unequipped army. This army can
not be equipped as modern war
fare demands if the man power of
the country is at the same time
called upon to produce all of our
ordinary comforts and luxuries.
1t is just as plain as two and two
that all of us must make personal
sacrifices, must give up comforts
and Injuries, even necessary ex-
penditures that can be postponed.
if there is to be labor and material
enough to equip the army in time
for it to fight while it will do some
good to have it fight.

and HI. R. Alderman, w. j. AL
britton and Solomon Albritton, all

pied two cars, one of which was
forthwith despatched to Punta
Gorda for a surgeon. DR.. Stone

as quickly as possible, but the UNI
fortunate man died at 3 p. m. The
fatal ball entered the right hip,
perforated the intestines and lodg-

In war the only effort that is Of
any value is that which is ulti-
mately translated into gun fire on
the field of battle. The gun fire
that will win this war cannot be
delivered until all America recog-
nizes individual responsibility, un-
til the whole people join in the eff
fort by giving up things that they
can do without, so that the labor
that would have been employed in
making those things can do work
that will ultimately result in gun
fire. The government has offered
the opportunity to translate at
once every ones personal patriot
ism into the sort of help that will
win the war. Forego buying some

 Plan For Home Needs.
 A typical plan of this character is shown in the illustration. This plan or course IS OI use cu1euy as all eA- ample and in, most cases a different arrangement will be necessary to meet the conditions surrounding individua garden spaces. On the plan the gar dener may indicate the approximate date when each of his projected crops is to be planted No more space should be allotted to each than is needed to furnish a sufficient quant- ity of the vegetable for family con- sumption or for other known needs.
 Make the garden work all summer Make your plans so that when one crop is ready for the table or for can ming another vegetable can be planted between the old rows and new plant ings can take the space vacated. Many home gardeners seem content to raise a single crop on each plot of land al their disposal, but it is quite possible
