REALTY COMPANY OF
THIS CITY.

Iiguers Realty Co put over another
real estate deal this week, when the
w r. McKennon farm Of 102 acres ~
ing between the Theta and Nashville
pixies, about three miles from Coltm-
bia, was sold to G.. Yeargin of Ian
caster, Tenn, for $4,000.
Mr.. Yeargin will move to his new
home some time this month, and is re.
puted to be a progressive and compe-
tent farmer. He is a great believer
in hogs and it was the fact that this
county has gained sfch reputation
as hog producing section that at
tracted him to Maury county.
His farm is ideally situated for rails
ing hogs. 1t runs back to Rutherford
creek giving it some rich creek bot
toms for corn cultivation, while the
grass lies close to the barns and res
idence, making it convenient for
handling hogs.

This bill will have teeth in it too,
but it is going to be fair to the good

sheep protection would astound you
and instead Of the politicians standing

ITALY IS WARNED
TO LIFT FOOD BAN
IS TOLD VERY PLAINLY THAT
SHE MUST END THE BLOCKADE
AGAINST SLAVIC STATES.
Much Unnecessary Suffering Has Been
Caused by Action Of Italy in De-
laying Shipments, is Charged
by Officials.

Washington.-Italy has been warned
by the American government that un'
less she puts an end to delays in move
ments of relief supplies to the newly
established JugO-SlOvak and CzechO
Slovak states, steps will be taken to
cut off the flow of American food
stuffs to Italy.
1t was stated Thursday in an author
itative quarter that the Italian govern
ment had caused intolerable conditions
by the blockade she has imposed
against the Jugo-Slovak countries and
which operates also against the Czecho'
Slovaks. The blockade has not been
wholly effective, but many delays have
been caused, resulting often in hold.
ing up supplies, the need. of which was
desperate.
Reports from Paris of the existence
of chaotic conditions because of. the
blockade have not been confirmed here,
but it is known that much unnecessary
suffering has been caused by italy.
News from Paris that representatives
of Great Britain and France were out
spoken in their condemnation of the
attitude of Italy had been cabled to
the United States, but the action of the
American government in sending its
warning to Italy was taken before that
news came.
No reply has yet been made by the
Italian government.
The British and French delegates at
Paris have been bitterly outspoken in
the supreme war council and the sup
preme economic council in criticism OF
the food blockade which the Italian
government is maintaining against
Dalmatia, Bosnia, Herzegovina, Croa-
tia and Slovenia. The new democrat
cies built out of the old Austrian EN-
pire are relied upon by the entente as a
protection against the Bolshevik
wave, and the food shortage in them
is creating chaos.

FOOD SUPPLIES IN COMMON
No Eskimo Allowed to Go Hungry
While His More Fortunate Broth
ers Have Plenty.

The arctic explorer, DR.. Donald b.
Macmillan, who returned recently
after four years spent in the arctic
regions, has many interesting things
to say about the domestic and social
customs of the Eskimo.
All property Is owned in common,
he tells us. When you enter VII
lage you are not invited to come In.
It is your right to enter and, II you
are hungry, to help yourself to some
thing to eat. Il you happen to visit
house where a poor hunter lives, he
says, 'Nurket-turange Nothing to
eat)." He does not 30 hungry, how
ever, because his neighbors have some,
and he lives on his neighbors. Every
thing is divided up that way. Ifsall
the villagers are good hunters, their
supplies last a long time, but II some
are poor hunters, the clever fellow
must share with them.
An Eskimo does not eat three meals
a day and sleep at regular intervals.
He eats when he is hungry, and sleeps
when he is sleepy, and he puts 1t off
as long as he can, 50 that he will en-
10Y It all the more. He will 60 around
for six hours talking about how hungry
he ia, and then he will set to work
and eat all he can. It Is the same
way with sleeping. He will go with
ont sleep for 4S hours, and when he
cannot keep his eyes open any longer
he turns in for 24-hour snooze.-

COMEDIANS OF OLD GREECE
Statues Found in Tombs Show That
Funmakers Were Much Like
Those AppIauded Today.

The finding Of some statues In an
ancient Greek tomb Is an opportunity
for comparing the comedians OF old
times with those of today. The stat
ues are believed to date back to the
fourth century B. c. They are quite
smaIl-in fact. few Of them measure
more than six inches In height-but
owing to the careful modelling they
are still quite lifelike In spite of
their extreme age. These little fig'
ures represent the funny men of that
time, and 1t Is curious to note the re-
semblance to the oddities Of Charlie
Chaplin.
One associates flowing robes and
stately walk with the Greek actors,
but these players are shown wear
ing short trousers and with an OBJ
vious caricature Of stately gait.
Nothing was sacred from these come
dians; even the greatest men of the
day were subjects for their wit, which
they carried to extremes. A good ex'
ample Of this Is a statue Of one Of the
funny men as Hercules. who was uni
versally admired and venerated In an.
cient Greece. He Is shown wearing
his leopard skin lightly over one
shoulder, with his finger in his
mouth. looking coquettishly round
him.
The costumes Of these little figures
must have been brilliant; there are
still faint traces Of pink and yellow
on the terra Gotta Of which the statues
were made.
