Alviit Kelly's grease monkeys ed their count In tho city softball league gallop by crushing the Home Guard unit under a 14 to 1 score at the Softball arena Monday evening. The game, Khough one-sided, was replete with alert playing, as both {dubs showed flashes of form that in dicated aome excellent sport entertainment after tho lads have Ironed the kinks from their nfuscles and balanced their vision. Double PlliV* were as frequent as fleas on the back of our pet pooch. Tho lloiho Guard, through some mis understanding, failed to present a representative team and rather than disappoint the gathering of funs, Man ager Carl Llghtfoot gathered a team from the side lines and gallantly battled against a spunky alert Maintenance gang for nine frames. The lone tally of the Guards came in the sixth frame when Jack Olyburn circled the sacks to put his number U footsies on the rubber. The Kelly wrecking crew went to work in the first frame and pushed over two markers which it later developed was sufficient to wrap up the bacon. Hut the lads from tho hangars, smarting under the beating handed them last week by the Army clan, were out for blood and they scored four more runs In the second, added a lone one in the third, another in the fourth, coasted through the fifth without a marker, then poured on the heat in the sixth for two more. The seventh was another blanket affair but the gang blitzed the opposition in the eighth with four more to make their total l^J. In the hitting department they registered 15 blows and posted but four boners in the error record. The Guards kicked tho ball around eleven times which is somewhat of a record. Jennings and Stofanick were high scorers with three runs each for the Mechanics. Kelly went the route for the winners and gave up six hits. His support was ! tight, the outfield in particular roaming over the gardens and snaring what promised to go for certain hits. R. H. E.

Farmers Asked To Plant Rice "Since over half oT the commercial ri< e crop is being taken for army and lend-lease use. farmers in this sectin will do well to plant a patch for home use this year," says County Agent W. C McCarley. According to a recent survey there are 26 rice mills over the lower part of the state. These are located in the following counties; Bamberg 1. Berkeley 2.. Calhoun 1. Charleston 2. Clarendon 1. Colleton 6, Dorchester 1. Florence 1, Georgetown 1. Hampton 1. Horry 4. Jasper 1. Lee 1. Orangeburg 1. Richland 1. and Sutnter 1. The exact locations can be learned from local county agents. * "Hundreds of farm families produced th? ir rice last year for the first time and the prospect is that thousands of them will do likewise in 1043." according to Director 1). W. Watkins of the Clemson service. "Most seedsmen have stocked the seed, and the mills we now have put the necessary milliner service in the reach of most farms iti the lawer part of the state." he concludes. Practically every farm has a good springhead or damp bottom that is not well suited to other things that would easily grow the rice needs of the farm, according to the county agent. It is planted in late April or early May in rows and fertilized about like cotton, using three to four gallons of seed per acre, in hills 10 to 12 inches apart. It can be harvested with a combino where the acreage warrants, or cut. by hand and piled or put on rocks until dry enough to thresh or flail out. A few tenths of an acre on the right sort of land will usually make all the rice a family needs. Yields on 15 demonstration plots in Sumter county last year ran 'rom 18 to 70 bushels per acre. In a bicycle race between 250 youths un Tokyo, each had to carry full military equipment while peddallng more han 13 miles. I VANS TO EVERY PART OF THE COUNTRY!

Oil his cheat, he could wear the coveted Congressional Medal of Honor, the highest decoration that there Is. given for bravery above and beyond the call of duty.

Columbia attorney, and, like Viileplgue from Kershaw county, was drowned in lake Murray while department commander o|t tho Amorlcan Legion of South Carolina. Mr. VHloplgue was the fourth of these distinguished soldiers to cross the great river, there to await tho glorious reveille. There wore only 72 'Congressional Medals of Honor bestowed on men of the other World war. Just Illinois, with seven, exceeded fcjouth Carolina's six, and on a per etTtdta basis this state led all others in tho number of recipients. / Mr. Viileplgue and the other five from this state, were highly decoratedj also by several of the Allied countries. John Vlllepigue was a quiet and retiring man. No one would know from him the honors that were his. But so long as history is recorded of the valiant deeds of South Carolinians, his name shall be among those in- j scribed, on the scroll of heroes. tie was a corporal in Company M, j One Hundred and Eighteenth, which had been the First regiment, South Carolina National Guard, before it was mustered into fedeial service as a part of the Thirtieth division. His outfit was in action against the enemy at Vaux-Andigny, France, October 16. 1918. Having been sent out with two other soldiers to scour through the village, he met with strong resistance from enemy machine gun fire, which killed one of his men and wounded the other. Continuing his advance, without aid, 500 yards in advance of his platoon and in the face of machine gun and artillery fire, he encountered four of the enemy in a dugout, whom he attacked and killed with a hand grenade. Crawling forward to a noint, 150 yards in advance of his first engagement, he rushed a machine gun nest, killing four and capturing six of the enemy, and taking two light machine guns. After being Joined by his platoon, he was severely wounded in the arm. Such gallantry as John Viileplgue displayed against the Germans in 1918 Is an inspiration to those who today have gone forth to conquer the same evil forces that menanced the world 25 years ago.?Sam Latimer, in The Columbia State.
