He tossed two for 40 yards Friday night and in each Instance Petit was clown to grab them. Several of the Sumter chaps who were viewing the Camden-Darlington game ventured the opinion that Sumter could hih?( Camden two touchdowns and then win. Hut the lads had no money to back up the assertion. " Well, after all Is said and done, the Camden high school athletic circles owe a lot to Jack Mullen and his < harming wife. Johnny had a successful athletic year with the Hold and Itlack and now Hilly and Freddie ure strutting their stuff before the galleries We don't hlanRv Papa and Mamma any for feeling a bit cocky. And not only aro the Mullen lads outstanding in athletics, but they have nice iMtrsonalltloH and are as the fellows say: "real guys'.

If time and space permitted wo could saunter down the entire Hulldog Imttle line and have some nice things to say about each and every one of the lads on the Vllleplgue H<iund. The police did a nice job of chasing the small boys out of the field of action. Some of the kids started a ball game of their own along the west side lines and frequently dashed out on to the gridiron causing some of the spectators to cuss, as It most certainly detracted attention from the HulldogDarlington game. Speaking of traffic congestion and dust, that of Friday night after the game was about the worst we have ever encountered.

Improving Tenants' 1 Standard of Living (Mention, Oct. 5.?;*Moro landowners should accept the retponilblllty for Improving the Htaudard of living for , sharecroppers, as does A. J. Roger*, J Dillon county farmer", mtya M. C. t Roohoator, extension farm manage inent specialist. "landowners are generally better Informed about what constitutes a good standard of llvlug and should therefore encourage croppers to take advantage of the opportunity for providing for themselves u higher Btuhdard of 11 y lug." ire decla r oh. Mr. Rogers' landowner-tenant plana ' and experiences are told by Mr. Hog} 4 era himself. "An opportunity Is provided for 1 croppers on my farm to obtain higher standards of living by diversification 1 of cash enterprises and producing arn1 pie food and feed requirements. AH croppers grow cotton and tobacco as cash crops. In addition to these crops, ' one family raises sweet potatoes, an' other raises hogs, and another raises ' chickens for commercial purposes. My " Idea is to try to provtdo additional ' sources .of . lucomu for all families ' and 1 glvo all these enterprises close supervision... I "In addition to gardens and other r food patches all cropper families - have hogs and chickens to provide > their needs for pork, pork products, I and poultry products, and half of J tihoin have oows, ' "After providing the opportunity for 1 making tho best possible incomes and " producing the necessary food and feed requirements. 1 find It essential to r have mutual confidence and trust bef tween landowner and cropper," Mr. Rogers continues. "There should be > a definite agreement as to what is to i* be expected of both parties and this f agreement should be carried out. With I mutual confidence and with eaoh party working In the other's interest as well > as in his own lntcr?*?t, the landownex3 cropper combinations will be suocess3 ful. p "Good comfortable houses are easential for the satisfaction of crop pers. Though my houses are not as good as I should like, I have a pro' gram underway for -their Improvement. All houses have sash windows ^ and are wired for electricity and 3 most of them are screened. The water Is provided from wells by pumps." 1 That some croppers on Mr. Rogers' farm remain there over 20 years and 3 all for an average of 15 years is good B evidence of the success of the land* owner-cropper arrangements practiced r by Mr. Rogers, declares Mr. Rochester. i FAILS TO FIND DOCTOR?

"If he hadn't gotten the air just in I itlme. 1 don't think the ohlld would I have lived," declared the doctor, she was quickly revived, however, and 'was none tho worse for the exper, ience.

The United States acted Wednesday night to strengthen materially RH Atlantic defenses, as it oontemplated the altered world political situation presented by open formation of the Berlin-Homo-Tokyo alliance. Kstablfehment of a new patrol force within the United States fleet, to operate in the Atlantic, was announced by the Navy Department. Constituting the first concrete step toward creation of a two-ocean Navy, the move will provide a balanced aggregation of 125 battleships, cruisers, destroyers, submarines' and auxiliary ships, with places. The fleet Itself will remain In tfte Pacific. Rear Admiral Hayne Bills will command the patrol force. The announcement fits In with the known determination of the American Government not to let its attention be unduly concentrated on the Pacific while the greater threat from the Kuropean totalitarian powers continues as at present. At the same time, there was a renewed discussion of a proposed good will -naval cruiBe-tihrough "the "Pacific to Australia and New Zealand, a step that would emphasize the common Interest of this country and those British territories in maintenance of the status quo in the entire Pacific area. Secretary of the Navy Knox declared the suggestion was "a good idea", but that no decision had been reached to make such a cruise. It was also revealed -that Admiral James C. Richardson, commander of the fleet, is coming to Washington for a talk "on the general situation in the Pacific." The Navy announced its air strength in these figures; useful planes on hand, 1,812 with 446 others classed as obsolete or experimental, total planes on order, 3,001, including combatant, training and utility machines. Using the present Atlantic Squadron as a nucleus, the patrol force will Include new fighting craft already off the ways or under construction, which originally were to have been sent West to the Fleet, recently reeommlssioned vessels, and ships purchased and converted for naval use. "Having all the vessels in the Atlantic under one commander, "the Navy announcement said, "will result in increased efficiency In the operations and training of -the vessels." Already available for the force are the battleships New York. Texas and Arkansas and the partially demilitarized Wyoming, the aircraft carriers Wasp and Ranger, a number of cruisers and probably twoscore destroyers. Ships now in the neutrality patrol far off the coast, it was understood, also will ho in the partol force. The Navy announced 'hat Approximately 2.900 officers and men of the First Marine Brigade would leave Norfolk October 12 for a winter's service and training at the Guantanamo, Cuba, base. The Senate and House, in quick succession Thursday, approved a SI.482..693,636 supplemental defense bill car-| rying funds for building a 1,464,000man Army by next July, and sent It to the White House. I^ast of the defense appropriations, which total $12,149,532,516 for the session, the measure was passed by the Senate by voice vote after but little discussion. Shortly afterward the | ??p???P?

The seeds and fruit of virtually all of the native trees of South Carolina are consumed by domestic as well as wfld animals and birds. The trees supply many thousands of tons of food at this season of the year and the greater part of it falls to the ground where it will be found if not destroy, ed by woods fires. State Forester Smith urges all persons, and moat particularly city dwellers, to be particularly careful with flre when they are ih the wooda otherwise the beauty will be destroyed, the forest food consumed and ihe seod needed to start a new crop of timber wit* be gone and reforestation will not take place. Flaming Youth Prefers Music? ho\ St. Louis, Mo.?What's the moat popular high school study course? In St. Louis high school official! were surprised to discover that it it music. Fifty-one per cent of all the students had a preference for it "But", added the report with a note of disappointment, " a startling number of students prefer a jazz and popular music." A committee of instructors urged more emphasis on music appreciation classes. House was called back from recess to accept Senate changes, adding J12,700,000 without tihe usual conference, and the bill was on its way to Presi dent Roosevelt for signature. This speeding ot Congressional procedure to make funds Immediately available for conscription, National Guard mobilization and other military purposes highlighted a series ot defense moves. The day't developments were: Conscription officials said the nat- J ional draft lottery would be some day ? between October 21 and 26, and that tihe first increment of draftees. per_j haps 75,000 would be called for s?v_^ vice about November 18. Secretary Stimson announced the j formation of the Army's first para- j chute battalion, patterned after the Nazi troops which were so successful in the Neherlands, and said that when the 500-man unit is trained, it will be * split up to form nuclei of other such 1 battalions. Award of a $141,320,610 airplane j contract to the Douglas Aircraft ^ Company of Santa Monica, California, was announced by the War Depart j ment and Stimson said this nearly , completes the placing of orders on t 0 18,500 plane program voted by Con* 1 gress this year.
