COMPETITIVE DRILL
BY "a" COMPANY

Company A, County Guards, held a
strenuous competitive drill Friday
night. Most of the best drilled men in
the company were in the line. Capt.
Roberts and Lieutenants Preer and
Needham were present. There were a
number of spectators, including sever
al ladies, relatives of members of the
company; also some of the lately re-
turned and well-drilled boys who have
been in the service.
The drill lasted over an hour. Thru
the first round, the guns moved from
position to position with automatic
regularity and no man made bobble.
But in the second a man fell out and
then one after another very slowly
they were pried from their places in
the line, until only Sergeant Richard
Stroud and Private James Gilmore
were standing. For several minutes
these two stood side by side, answer
ing each order with the instantaneous
precision of machines, but finally Pri-
vate Gilmore fiickered just little and
Sergeant Stroud stood alone, winner
of the prize. It was fine drill and
all the men did well.
Capt. Roberts two little boys, Her
schel and Edgar, were in the line,
drilling with cadet guns. There were
only four competitors when Herschel
dropped out, and only six when his
younger brother had to retire.
Sergeant Stroud said he would put
his five dollar prize in the baby's bank.

DON'T SWAP
You Don't Help Yourself Nor the
Government by Cashing Stamps
to Buy Victory Bonds

Reports are reaching headquarters
of the war loan organization of the
Sixth Federal Reserve District that
owner of war savings stamps, in
some quarters are cashing them in and
investing the money in the Victory
Loan.
This is contrary to the desires of Of
ficials of both the Liberty Loan or
ganization and the savings division
of the war loan organization. An ef-
fort is being made by both depart
ments to stop this practice.
The position of the war loan organ
ization is set forth in a statement
just issued by Silas W. Davis, director
of savings. Mr.. Davis statement fol-
lows:
"The Victory Loan campaign is be-
ing conducted for the sole purpose of
raising funds to enable the govern
ment to pay it's outstanding war bills
and finance its expenditures during
the readjustment following signing of
the armistice. The money received
from the sale of these notes goes di>
rectly into the United States treas
ury, as does the money received from
the sale of war savings stamps.
"The money paid for the redemp-
tion of war savings stamps is taken
directly from the United States treas
ury. Under these conditions it is ap-
parent that it is of no value to the
government if an individual cashes
war savings stamps thus taking the
money from the treasury and then
turns the same amount of money back
to the treasury by purchasing the Vic
tory notes.
"It is to be hoped that the patriot
ism of the American people will make
it possible to have a large over sub
scription to the loan without the ne
cessity of any subscribers cashing in
their war savings stamps. We hope
that all the subscriptions made for
the Liberty Loan will represent actual
money paid into the United States
treasury and not a mere transfer of
funds within the treasury"

OUR COUNTY INTERESTED

The 2OO-acre orange grove, owned
by the Carney Investment Company,
on the west side of Lake Weir, this
county, and one of the most valuable
grove properties in the state, has been
sold and was bought, we understand,
by the company referred to in the
above article, which concern is buying
up grove properties in different parts
Of the state. This grove, which is
managed by Mr.. John L. Carney, a
Marion county man, shipped over
$4,000 boxes of oranges the season re-
Gently closed, and paid handsome
dividend on valuation running into
big figures. It is undoubtedly the
biggest deal that has been consum-
mated in the county in long time.
BE IN CHARGE OF BORLAND
This big corporation has yet more
local interest in that Mr.. Harry l.
Borland Of this city and Citra, repre-
sents the company IN this section,
having been with Crutchfield & Wool
folk of Pittsburg for a number of
years as their special representative
in buying fruit crops and passing on
grove properties. Mr.. Borland being
largely interested in grove properties
and one of the best posted men on the
orange industry in the state, is pecu-
liarly fitted for the position. 1t is
rumored that this is only the begin
ming of the new company's work and
that its plans are very far reaching
- l. Al
The two companies, one as owner of
grove properties and the other as a
selling and distributing factor, are
destined to cut an extensive figure in
the future of the industry in the state.
