I Present Day Soldiers MakeGood Husbands Fort Jackson, S. C., Auk. 11?-With a littUt doft handling, the American sold It* in of 1941 here will make u perfect li unhand. For exuiuple, he Iihh learned In the uruiy to out any and all dishes and. equully uh important, he 1h In the habit of Haying "Yoe Sir" which can be changed to "Ych Mam" with u rainIniuin of persuasion. Further, the soldier of today known how to make his own?and other's bed:, can polish brass ami therefore sllvor, Hhlne leather and how on buttons. ^ Since darning his own socks Is necessary In the army, the skill can be ppplied to those of tho "Mrs" and "Jr." Next, the soldier of 1941 lives on $21 or $110 a month which moans ho must bo thrifty. Hq Ih an export cleaner In that sweeping and dusffng are part of his every day duties. Since his military training has-curtailed bis social life, he Is easily pleused by any kind of attention from tho "weaker sex". True ho will not show his emotions quite as freely but Just the same he Is easily affected. Highly Important is the fact that the soldier of today likes to listen to Just about anything being said by a feminine voice. This is In sharp contrast to the run-of-the-mill prospective husband picked up from civilian life; and is explained by tho fact that tho soldier spends so much time listening to the harsh harrango of Sergoants that the silver tones of feminine chortle Is music to his ears. Lastly, the soldier is an easy catch. Ho is super sensitive to all cosmetics and in tho case of perfume?one whiff and he's yours. To Attend Columbia Meeting Columbia, Sept. e~J. D.

DALLAS GpASS SEED FOR SOIL CONSfeRVATJpN An Inexpensive way to increase Dallas grass In pastures this fall Is to mow old stands of the grass aud spread the hay lightly over areas where new growth is desired, accord* lng to Warren Duncan, Assistant Soil Conservationist of the Soil Conservation Service in the Lynches Hlver die trlct. , This method, tried out by farmers In soil conservation districts, has resulted In stands of Dallas grass as good as could be obtained from sow* lug clean seed. When scattered b'Ver a pasture in bunches the Dallas grass will carry sufficient, seed for a thick stand next spring. The hay can be taken directly from areas where It Is harvested and scattered over the pastures this fall, or It can be cured, stored and scattered next spring, Duncan poluts out. Seed may also bo harvested by hand stripping, or by mowing, curing and thrashing. Farmers who wish to establish Dallas grass |n their pasture have unusual opportunity to harvest seed this fall as the seed crop this year is the best that has been produced in recent years, and appears to be less affected by fungus than usual. Seed can be hurvested from roadsides, vacant lots around towns, or from lowland areas wherever there Is a predominance of Dallas grass In the mixture. 52-YEAR-OLD MAN JOINS NAVY TO BE WITH SEVEN SONS ?

Kendall Softballer* Finish A|, Runner-up J (Continued ri\/ni first pagt>) r . the trek back to Spartanburg in the 1 evening for the flnal game whs too j much for Robinson and also the rec mainder of the team. , When the Montford Bluggors started to operate on Arthur, Benuy took the hill iu an effort to stem the assault, 4 but the combing continued and when | the battle ended the Spartans, had" , gathered 14 rune on 17 hits with Cam den making four errors. Spartanburg also chalked up four bobbles but they " did not prove" costly. The Spartanburg team now goes to . the national tournament In Detroit It d . will probably bite the dust'in the first , round of play, as the brand of softball played iu the midwest and southwest from whence the most of the teams ( come is of a major league brand. The Kendalls have no apology to offer for their defeat. Lack of rest, ' the several hundred miles of motoring required, there being about 412 miles in two days, coupled with a natural let down after a brilliant season in Which 62 games were played and 56 | won, contributed to the downfall in,!; , the final and all-Important game. Skipper, Charley and Dewey Watch Army -j i (Continued from first pace) diers at work, but the sand was so hot that we three musketeers kept dancing and jigging until we were sufficiently proficient to become candidates as tap dancers in the Earl Carroll Vanities. Well, to get back to those soldiers. They put three bridges across the river. One of the bridges was hefty enough to take care of twenty ton tanks. All of the bridge construction was by means of pontoons. A noisy little outboard motor coughed around the river, making a frantic dash down stream as a pontoon got away on the swift current. Well sir, our feet got hotter and J hotter and our shoes quickly filled j with sand as we trudged about watch- * ing the army build those bridges. _ Gosh were we glad we did not have j to work in that hot blazing sun and believe me, we thought most of^he j boys were using their heads when 5 they fell In the river again and again. I think I would have been darned 'j mad, when after working all day in * that burning sun to get those bridges '.'h put In place to have the top sergeant, or whatever you call him In the army, suddenly holler through his cupped hands. 'All right fellows, it's 6 o'clock. Let's tear It dowri now. We can put j them back tomorrow." All I can say is that I'm darn glad I'm not a bridge builder In Uncle j Sam's army. j.
