HOG PRICES GOING UP,
PORKERS PASS S2O.O 90

Chicago, April.-Hog prices passed
the 500 mark, upward bound, today
when they were quoted at S20.10 per
hundred at the stockyards. The high
est wartime price was $21 last fall.
During the winter prices dropped
slightly under S18, but have been adj
vancing since the government mini
nun price guarantee was taken off
nearly a month ago. At the United
States bureau of markets this recent
advance was ascribed to heavy de-
mand, coupled with the fact that the
winter run of hogs was largely shipped
out during the winter, leaving the sup
ply comparatively light until the new
run of hogs begins in May or June.

running in one hundred county papers
in Kentucky. AS result of this aid
vertising campaign he shipped seed
corn into twenty-nine states as fol-
lows: Kentucky, Alabama, MISSISSIPPI

ped into foreign country.
In addition to the farm journals
and county papers in Kentucky, Mr..
Figuers also used advertising space
literally in The Daily and Weekly Her
aid. He believes in advertising as
the only medium whereby to reach
the people, and advertising through
the medium OF newspapers is his
strongest belief.
He is still getting results from the
advertising he did in the spring of
1918 and will continue to get this ben
eft for years to come. Mr.. Figuers
has demonstrated beyond a shadow
of doubt that advertising will sell
any good product and will sell it where
it is needed. He knew that in the
fall of 1917 there was an early freeze
in the northern and western corn
belt, and that there was a shortage
of seed corn. He also knew that there
was plenty of good seed corn in Maui
ry county and how was he to let the
farmers of DE stricken country know
of the abundance here, unless he adj
vertised? He had what they wanted.
He let them know of it and~they came,
wrote, telegraphed and telephoned1
and got it, and by the advertising
method many acres of land were plant
ed in corn that otherwise would pos
slbly have gene uncultiyated.

MAURY1 COUNTY WAS
ORGANIZED At LOG
HOUSE CENTURY AGO
FIRST COURT OF QUARTER SEES
SiONS CONVENED IN DECEM-
Der 1907.
GEN. ISAAC SHELBY CHAIRMAN
Zion Presbyterian Church Oldest IN
the County With Pssah Methodist
a Close Second--some Early His
tory.

Maury county, carved out OF the
territory of Williamson county and
named in honor of Abram Maury, one
of the pioneer settlers of Williamson
county, was organized as a county in
1907 and is therefore in its one hun
dred and twelfth year, The centen-
NAL of the county was observed at the
County Fair grounds in September,
1907 the late Edward Ward Carmack
being the orator of the occasion.
The first court in this county con-
vened on December 81, 1907, at the
house of Col Joe Brown, preacher,
hunter, pioneer and Indian fighter. He
then lived about three miles south of
the present city on the banks of Lytie
creek 1t was here that the first court
of quarter sessions, as the county
court was then known, assembled
Gen. Isaac Roberts was the first
chairman of the court and Joseph B.
Porter was elected the first clerk.
In the light Of the near approach OF
nationwide prohibition, it is interest
ing to note that one Of the first official
acts of this court was to license an
ordinary inn, conditioned that the
keeper thereof, did not on the Sab
bath day, permit any person to tip
pie or drink more than was necessa-
ry." Within just one hundred years
from this time it was made unlawful
to tipple anywhere on any day in
Maury county.
The first church organized in Maui
ry county was Zion Presbyterian
church which dates from the organi-
zation of the county. The church in
the summer of 1907 celebrated its
hundredth anniversary. The second
church organized in the county was
the Methodist church at Pisgah near
Hampshire, which in May, 1908 OBJ
served its centennial anniversary.
The court house was moved TO Co
lumbia soon after the organization of
the county. A very modest structure

One thing Of paramount Importance
to the citizens of the county Is the
status of public health; for upon the
broad base of public health rests the
future material welfare of the coun-
try. Upon this same broad base rests
also the happiness and security OF
speople 1t is the first duty of man to
preserve his own health; it is the
most patriotic duty of legislative bod
Ties to care for the health OF the peo-
pie, for sickness and death produce
lower physical efficiency and an econo-
mic waste which may readily be trans
lated into terms representing materi-
/ al welfare. The time was when more
effort was exerted in the prevention
.Dof cholera in swine, and other proven
table diseases of livestock, than was,
devoted to the prevention of typhoid
fever in men and women, and the pre-.
ventable diseases of helpless babies.
Happily that time is passing. More
and more is the public conscience be-
ing awakened to the matter of public
health, and more effort is therefore be-
ing devoted to the prevention OF the
sical efficiency.
~ Perhaps the most progressive coun'
ty in Tennessee in this respect has
been that of Maury. With two major
problems to solve, that of high death
rate from both respiratory and intest-
inal disease, Maury county has shown
an active interest and has made an
aggressive effort to effect that solu-
ton. That these efforts are. beginning
to show results is manifested byfa
drop in the rural death rate from ty-
.plioid fever of seven and five tenths
points, and a drop in the death rates
from diarrheas, dysentery and enter
tits of full twenty points. Should
we care to translate this saving intol
terms of material resources it.may be
shown that saving of at least $751;
10000 in non-produetive expense and
in the productive value of human
life has been effected. No adequate
estimate can be made of the saving
effected by medical inspection of
schools in this county. That the So
luton Of these problems is yet a mat
ter of public interest is manifested by |

the fact that during the late, war the
total deaths of Maury county men in
military service amounted to fifty-six
Chased on Herald estimate) while
during the same period the total
deaths from intestinal disease in
Maury county amounted to ninty-five.
A progressive stand has been TAKEN
but that stand must be maintained.
Prevention of disease is not. matter
of weeks or months, it is a matter of
years, and the eXertion Of patient
earnest, efficient effort The proven
ton of a vast percentage of disease
is no longer matter of purely scien-
tific interest, but consists of the APP
plication of comon sense principles to
individual community modes of living
Ideally situated with regard to- eli
matte, and geologic conditions Maury
county is blessed with low death rate
from most other causes. Malaria While
problem is a minor problem.
Other classes of disease, show
low death rates and under control
measures for the major health pro-
blems of the county, may be expected
to show an even futher decline. In
deed, there is every reason to believe
that in only year or two more pro-
vided future efforts equals past efforts,
Maury county will show one of the
lowest death rates in Tennessee if not
in the entire nation. There is no reas-
on why the typhoid death rate should
not be divided by ten. New York,
under more adverse circumstances,
has done that we'll.
Neither is there reason why the
death rate from tuberculosis should
not become one of the lowest in the
State. One of the foremost men of
the day. Dr. Wickliffe Rose, has said
Fruitful thinking emerges from &C
tion, and to action must return for
final criticism Let us. therefore,
consider carefully these two problems
of public health in Maury county and
let us not be smugly satisfied with the
fact the We have low general death
rate, but continue our efforts to arrive
at a satisfactory solution of our own
major problems. Then we may rest
assured that the final criticism" of
our public conscience will be one of
which we may be proud.

family on a wage Of 81 week, sub
sisted chiefly on barley bread and
hardly knew the taste of tea or sugar.
In 1872 he enrolled 200 farm laborers
in an organization that came to be
known as the National Agricultural
Laborers' Union, whose leaders the

Arch replied to the bishops state
ment, "is not the rule of the Church

referred to Mr.. Arch as my member"
Mr.. Arch was also Primitive Meth
