Nazi Prisoners
Still Believe In
German Victory

BrHiah Praaa For
PartiaUty.
Prisoners arrlvina in Bnflsnd from
the FrenOh Invasion front are still
confident that the Axis forces will
win the war, savs Cort>. 8. T. Barkfelt,
former Wisconsin sport writer and
at one time working #s assistant to
the present sport editor of The
Chronicle, lahen the latter was han
dling sports for a large -Wisconsin
dailjr. •
Barkfelt is now with a militair PO>
lice nnit in England and in a letter
to his former editnr sajrs that the war
is verj real to those llring in Eng-
IsDd. The crashing sounds of tmttle
are familiar to ronng and old, he
writes. ^
«*Incldentallf,'* he says in his letter,
the prisoners being captured in
V^ance are still sure that Germany
will win the war but they lack the
ynviction that the prisoners now in
‘American prison camps In the United
States have. These new prisoners
have seen the blitxkrieg backfire in
their faces and hare felt the fnli fury
of nnstopable Allied might. They are
TisibUly shaken and lack the cocki
ness that Rommel’s African Korps
have.
"T^ island fortress of Britain,
where we are now based, is an eye-
opener as to what all-out war really
means. Men, women and children
think, talk and work at the grim bosi-
ness of war. During the daylight
which lasts until very late in the
evening the streets of English cities
are practically deserted. Those not
working at war plants or at some
essential Job are busy tending the
millions of home gardens, repairing
Che shabby clothea left after, four
years of strict ratioBlng or at home
resting up for additional labors.
’’Women are in it on the same
basis as the men. Women are subject

One Variety of
Cotton Bt Comity
The Kershaw County Farm bureau
is sponsoring the one variety cotton
m Kershaw oounti;. Coker 100 Wilt
Resistant is the variety adopted for
the County.
Olnners are being asked to take
samples from the cotton as it is gin
ned and these samples will be sent
to Columbia for gra^g. A card will
be sent to the farmers in four or five
days showing the grade and staple
and also the loea value. Warehouses
can then accept the grade and staple
as shown on the card if the farmer
desires to store his cotton and borrow
through the Government loan. Farm
ers are asked to request the ginners
to take samples from the cotton and
send to Columbia in order that they
may know more abput the value.

almost no whiskey at 70c a shot The

ional treat for the children while des
serts are simple and small. A ration
ed meal can still be obtained in res
taurants but it consists in the main
of vegetables with a little fish or fowl.
Cosmetics and soaps are appreciated
as much as pearls by the young ladles
of England. (
^ .4:The war.news in the British press
is about eqiully divided between the
activities of the British armies and
the Russians. The exploits of the U.
8. forces are discounted and the war
with Japan is seldom mentioned. Two
paragraphs were used to tell of
Dewey's nomination by the Republi
cans.'’
HAIR 25,000 TIMES SIZE OF
INVISIBLE PLATINUM WIRE
Invisible plantinum wire, so small
only its shadow can be seen, is being
used experimentally at the General
Electric company in Schenectady. The
wire is but IS millionths of an inch
thick and approximately 25,000 strands
would be needed to equal the cross-
sectional area of a human hair.

Summer Care of Hens
During the hot summer months the
comfort of the hens is Important U
they are to stay on the Job. Properly
ventilated houses, shade, fresh water,
a well balanced ration and freedom
from lice and mites will contribute to
the hens’ comfort and hence, to sa-
curing good egg production, according
to Miss Margaret Fewell, county
home demonstration agent.
See that the hen house is well ven
tilated and cool, but not drafty. Hot
houses cause outbreak of summer
colds or roup. Clean the bouses and
spray them with motor oil and kero
sene for mites. Supply shade imd a
good green range for graxlhg. Cow
peas or soy beans make a good sum
mer range.
One hundred hens need 4 to 5 gal'
Ions of water daily. Water is cheap
and Important to bens. Flock owners
who secure an egg prodhetiop of 80
per cent or more during the sununer
make more profit during the year than
those who get low production In the
summer.
