Columbia is facing a sugar famine.
Grocers who have been selling four
pounds of this staple to a customer
have reduced the amount to a two
pound limit, and further reductions
are in sight.
The open sugar bowls at the hotels
has been banned, and loafsugar has
been provided in such quantities that
wastage will be avoided. On the ta
bles of the boarding houses clarified
and the old fashioned brown sugar has
made its appearance.
Local dealers see no relief in view,
but are anticipating very greatly in
creased sugar prices. In some South
ern cities it is almost impossible to
obtain sugar, and as a matter of fact a
traveling salesman, giving Birming
ham as his home, Thursday purchas
ed from a local dealer two pounds of
real granulated sugar which he sent!
home, saying that he could not buy
any granulated sugar in the city of
Birmingham. ,
Local dealers claim that Columbia
has had much more sugar in propor
tion to her size than has Nashville
and that while the grocers of Nash
ville were selling the staple in two
and four pound packages, it has been
possible to . purchase "a dollar's
worth" here.
This is the first time in this gen
eration, and perhaps for the past four
or five generations, when there has
been such a serious shortage of sugar,
Following the Civil War there was a
serious shortage of this staple, and it
was then that molasses, or "long
sweetening" was used to sweeten cpf
fee.
Local dealers say it will be almost
as hard to get the long sweetening
now as it is to get sugar, for coun
try sorghum is selling at ? 1.25 per gal
Ion, and Is hard to get at any price.
The people of Columbia will, of
course, meet the" shortage gracefully
as they have met emergencies in the
past. There will be a decreased de
mand, and a decreased use of sugar,
There will be fewer sales of candy
there will be less dessert on the table,
until the supply of sugar is once more
normal.

Dr. Roy O. Elam, dentist, has been
appointed by the state board of
health as county oral hygienist.
While the position is purely honora
ry, Dr. Elam neither receiving pay
for his services or his expenses, it is
his duty to visit the schools of the
county and talk to them on the care
of the mouth and teeth. Dr. Elam ren
ders a public service and he asks the
teachers of the county to co-oprate
with him. He asks them to allow him
a little time during the session to
present the important work of teeth
preservation. It is hoped in time
that the state board of health will be
able to supply each of the county oral
hygienists with a moving slide so that
the lectures can be illustrated.

Columbia, Tenn.
For the first time in many years
a whole year in Colmbia and Maury
county is drawing to a close in
wmcn there has not been a single
political contest. There was an elec
tion, that on the question of holding
a constitutional convention, but it
was so one sided and so little inter
est was shown that it could not be
dignified by calling it a contest.
In 1913 there was a red hot fight in
Columbia for mayor, one of the warm
est in years. In 1915 the county en
joyed a senatorial contest. In the
same year there was also another
Ditter mayorality contest in Colum
bia. In 1917 the democratic county
primary was held.
But if a primamy is held for the
nomination of candidates for county
officers to be elected next year it will
not be held until after the New Year.
It was just two years aeo that th
last county primary was held but
there is practically no sentiment for
a primary at this time. Until some
contests really develop there will be
little primary talk. People can in fu
ture years remember that they have
enjoyed one year without any politics
There is, of course, no escaping the
election in even nmbered years:
They are required. Next year not
only four county officers, the district
officers and a legislature and gover
nor be elected, but in addition it will
be a national election so that politics
will again be one of the favorite di
versions of the American populace.
So far Trustee Burns, Assessor Wil
liams, Sheriff Houser and Judge Whit
thorne are without any announced op
position. There have been rumors of
other candidates but no one has been
found who will affirm publicly that lie
expects to oppose either of these gen
tlemen in their desire to have an en
dorsement from the people.
Judge Edward D. Looney, chairman
of the county committee, is ready to
call that body together to take ac
tion on a primary whenever the mem
bers manifest sufficient interest to re
quest him to do so. But the commit
teemen are taking just about as little
interst in the election next year as
are the average citizens.

Calomel salivates! It's mercury.
Calomel acts like dynamite on a slug
gish liver. When calomel comes Into
contact with sour bile it crashes into
it, causing cramping and nausea.
If you feel bilious, headachy, consti
pated and all knocked out, just go to
your druggist and get a bottle of Dod
son's Liver Tone for a few cents
which is a harmless vegetable sub
stitute for dangerous calomel. Take
a spoonful and if it doesn't start your
liver and straighten you up better nad
quicker than nasty calomel and with
out making you sick, you just go back
and get your money. ,
K. you take calomel today you'll
be sick and nauseated tomorrow; be
sides, it may salivate you, while if
you iane uoason s uver rone you win
wake up feeling great, full of ambi
tion and ready for work or play. It's
harmless, pleasant and safe to give
to children; they like it. (Advt.) 5
HAVE A CHILD TO
BRIGHTEN YOUR HOME
At the Tennesssee Children's Home
in Nashville there are sixteen small
babies and twenty-three boys and
girls from one to nine years of age
who, through no fault of their own and
over circumstances over which they
have no control are being denied the
privilege of a home, a father, and that
most priceless boon in any child's life
a mother. These children need and
should have the protecting influence
of a happy normal home life. They
crave a real home, a real mama and
papa, real Thanksgiving and Christ
mas all their own.
This has been a year of remarkable
prosperity and there are countless
homes in the state where one or two
of these children could easiiy and well
be cared for, homes which would he
far happier becanse of the presence of
healthy, happy, normal children.
Will not those who are willing to
share what they have with an orphan
child, communicate with us. Address,
Mrs. Claude D. Sullivan, State Supt.
Tenn. Children's Home Society, .
, 901 Acklen Ave., Nashville, Tenn.
'Not more than twentyttve per cent
of a normal wheat crop has been sow
ed in this county," said Prof. Evan
A. McLean, county agent this morning
"I exepct that it will be the small
est acreage that has been sown in
wheat in the history of the county
Sowing is about over. I am advising
farmers against sowing at this late
date. They will be taking too many
chances with the winter freezes and
they can get their clover just as well
by sowing next spring by sowing oats.
After all one of the main objects of
wheat with many farmers of the coun
ty is to get clover.
"A combination of causes has pro
duced this result. Of course the ex
cessive drouth of September was one
cause. It prevented the plowing and
preparation of land for the crop. This
was followed by the wettest October
on record when on about half of the
days of the month it rained. Natu
rally nothing could " be done under
such circumstances to prepare the
lands. But weather conditions ac
count for only a small decrease in
the acreage. The main cause is due to
the unprofitable nature of the wheat
crop here. With a few scattering ex
ception there has been no really good
yield of wheat in the county since the
record crop of 1914. That crop was
not profitable because the bulk of it
went out of the farmers' hands at
75 cents a bushel. Since then one ca
lamity after another has overtaken
the crop-
"The farmers here are going more
and more to the growing of legumes
and the raising of live stock. With
in a few years I expect to see this one
of the great dairying counties of the'
South. It ought to be. This change
from grain to live stock farming
means increased fertility of the soil
and in the end much better farming.
It is going to make our people more
prosperous and more contented on
the farms. Of course corn, because
it is the foundation for all good stock,
will continue to be our great staple
crop, as it should. I doubt if Maury
county will ever have another great
wheat acreage."
BUFFALO FLYER CRASHES
INTO FREIGHT TRAIN
(By United Tress.)
LANCASTER, Pa., Nov. 17. One
was killed, another is dying and six
others were seriously injured when
the Buffalo flyer on the Pennsylvania
railroad collided with an extra freight
train here today. Traffic is complete
ly blocked. The wreck was the re
sult of the freight engineer disregard
ing signals.- Officials say he ran from
the cutoff track onto the main line
in front of the flyer.
AVERAGE WEIGHT IS 300 LBS.
Nearly a Quarter of a Million Poundt
Live Weight of Porkers Will Bo
Cured by Maury County Fartrter.
Exceeds His Former Record V J
" Hardy Skelly, who will probably
pack the largest number of hogs
packed by a single packer in the coun
ty, commenced killing porkers on
Thursday at the very first indication
of cold weather. Mr. Skelly got a hun
dred hogs on the pole before night.
He will continue as the weather favors
him until he has completed his pack.
Mr. Skelly, who is one of the old
est and most experienced packers in
the county, plans to distance all of
his former records He will kill and
pack not less than 750 this year.
These hogs will average around 800
pounds which Mr. Skelly considers a
prime weight for packing hogs. This
means that the pack of this Maury
county farmer this year will aggre
gate not less than 225,000 pounds live
weight. '
The largest number of hogs ever
packed in & single season by Mr. Skel
ly in the past has been 700. He will
distance this record. Mr. Skelly's
hogs have cost him a little more than
the present market price but he la
confident that all of the slump in
hogs has not been justified and that
next sumer meat and lard will sell
at a price that will Justify packing of
hogs. He has been singularly suc
cessful having in his long experience
lest few pieces of meat in the curing.
Equally divided among the people
of the county and every man, woman
and child, could get nearly six pounds
of hog meat from the pack of Mr. Skel
ly. He will have oceans of lard and
tons of bacon and hams.
