(Special Correspondence of the Star)
Black Point, July 27. There is a
rumor afloat that sixtyfive picked men
from each company will leave the first
of August for the border. All com
panies have been issued field equip
ment, consisting of spades picks,
axes axfd cooking utensils. All com
panies have also been issued head
nets, which are to be used for men
doing guard duty. . . '.
The work being done here is mostly
extended order drill, bayonet drill,
right flanking and outpost duty. '
The recruiting ' officers ; returned
yesterday ' with only thirty-four re
cruits. ' 7.7 .-v - -7
There are about one thousand men
and forty-nine officers in the Second
Regiment. Patriotism seems to be on
the lull. " ' 7 7
' While all "red-blooded" Americans
are singing "on to Mexico," there are-
a few "yellow backs" at home who
are singing "Keep the Home Fire

thing more appropriate, "When War

MontreaL? ' - - - -
The Second Regiment needs four
hundred true Americans to bring it
up to war strength. - It is true that
the men already here have been com
pelled to go "short," but nevertheless
they are making the best of things,

The First Battalion went out on a
8-mile hike, leaving; at 7 a. m going
through the fiatwoods until they
reached 104th street, about two miles
south of Ortega. Co. A was in the
lead, sending out one squad as ad
vance outposts, with two. squads as
advance guard, The men moved out
104th street (a dirt road) for about
two miles, crossing McGirt's creek.
After a thirty minute rest the bat
talion squad righted for camp. The
run was made behind a heavy cloud
and the rain that fell the night be
fore made it an ideal day for hiking.
The men are all getting toughened
and take an 8-mile hike with ease.
All the men stood the "hike well, none
falling out. A halt was called at the
gate to the camp ground, where the
companies assembled and marched to
camp at attention.
Signalmen A. M. Davis and John
Colley did the signalling, wigwagging
from line of column to out guard.
Both Davis and Colley have obtained
considerable proficiency in the art of
sending orders by wigwagging helio
graph and semaphore, both attending
school daily. 7
The regiment corps expect to take
wireless work in the near future.
The battalions were back at camp
and dismissed at 10 o'clock. :

Bilicusness and Stomach Trouble
"Two years ago I suffered from fre
quent, attacks of stomach trouble and
biliousness," writes Miss Emma Ver
bryke, Lima, Ohio. "I could eat very
little food that agreed with me and I
became so dizzy and sick at my
stomach at times that I had to take
hold of something to keep from fall
ing. Seeing Chamberlain's Tablets
advertised I decided to try them. I
improved rapidly." Obtainable every

Following the adoption by the
bankers on Tuesday of the Hamp
shire s as the breed of hog for the
boy's pig club work in this county,
and ' the hog proposed for all of the
farmers of the county to adopt, in
order that Marion might become ' fa
mous "for its Hampshires," R. W.
Blaeklock, county demonstration
agent, announces that all of the
fathers of the pig club boys; with one
or two exceptions have agreed to,
adopt the breed selected. .
In a letter to the boys, Mr. Black-
lock says:
"The price is going, to be higher
than we hoped. The 'breeder's all
said that the pigs we wanted were
worth $25 or better right at home for
meat and we decided that we had
better pay 'more and get the better
pigs. We expect to get pigs weigh
ing better than 200 pounds and you
must realize that it will ba a dandy
to weigh that much at one year old.
The s price will be $40 .delivered at
Ocala, but you will get pigs which
would cost you at least $60 were you
to buy them under ordinary condi
tions. The Duroc was next choice at
$50 but we decided that $50 was al
most too much so we took the Hamp
shire. ' -;:':7'-- v.- '-7',
. "Now the Hampshire is a mighty
fine hpg and one whichr-the experi
ment 'station reports as being well
adapted for Florida conditions. I
think the boys will have very , little
trouble in selling the best of their
young pigs to, the farmers this fall
as they all want to come with us
and make Marion famous v. as a
Hampshire county.
If it is found necessary, the banks
will increase the annroDriation of
$1,000 recently made to assist in the
pig club work.
E. C Stone, of Peoria, I1L, secre
tary of the National Hampshire As
sociation, in a letter to Mr. Black-
lock, says among other things:
"I have recently received reports
from packers in Georgia, Alabama,

"The average number of pigs per
sow according to the statement of
Perdue State University for the state
of Indiana in 1915 was four pigs to
the sow. The average litter for tha
Hampshire sow, was slightly above
eight pigs to the sow.
"You will notice further that the
Hampshire-breeder is supported by
the Record Association to a greater
extent than . any other breed in the
world. , If our county selects the
Hampshire breed, you will be; sup
ported by special premiums, both in
pig club work,' and in open classes'.
"Wherever green feed is a part of
the ration, the Hampshire had no real
competitor.
"In the year 1904," says Mr. Stone,
"there were about 20 Hampshire
breeders. Today we have over 23,000
well established Hampshire herds."
