New Adjusted
Quota Selectees Made
Out For State
Columbia, June 9.—An adjusted
quota of 19,134 selectees for South
Carolina and adjusted quota for
the state’s 83 local boards were
announced Saturday by Brig. Gen.
Holmes B. Springs, state director
of Selective Service.
The new quota, it was pointed
' out by Major George C. Warren,
delivery and induction officer at
state headquarters for Selective
Service, is for no definite period,
national headquarters having ad
vised that it will extend “well be
yond July 1.”
According to Major Warren, the
new adjusted quota is based on
figures available as of May 15 and
is based on a gross quota of 39,-
oi8 selectees for the state. From
time to time the gross quota will
be recomputed in order to keep
well in advance of current require
ments of the land and naval
forces. *
Major Warren stressed the fact
that the quota assigned the local
boards is not a requirement that
must be filled by any given date.
Bather, he said, it is a “bank ac
count” upon which the armed
forces may draw from time to
time.
He explained that national
headquarters is primarily concern
ed that the statutory limitations
upon the total number of men in
training at any one time not be
exceeded; that ample notice be
given as to the actual require
ments of the armed forces so that
calls might be filled promptly:
and that necessary adjustments
made from time to time so that
no state or local board furnishes
a disproportionate share of men
'to the armed forces,
j In determining the net adjustec
quota for the state and the loca'
boards, credit for those at present
serving in the armed forces from
the state and from each local
board area and also those selectees
already furnished by the state and
local boards were deducted from
the gross quota in each case.
The new adjusted quota of 19,
134 selectees supercedes the origi
nal quota of 5,957 assigned South
Carolina through June 30, but
for no definite period.
Major Warren pointed out that
the original quota was based
estimates, while the new adjusted
quota is based/on actual knowledge
of the number of registrants in

REUEVE PAIN DISTRESS!
RUX Compound And Williams Formula Help Relieve Pain And Dis
tress Of Rheumatic, Neuritic And Neuralgic Pains—Relieves That
Sluggish, Let-Down, All-In Feeling—Helps Promote Sleep And
Strength-Giving Rest!
For the relief of Rheumatic-like
pain attacks—for acid-irritated
urinary and bladder passages,
night-rising and gassy pain that
sometimes keeps one awake at
night, up and down at all hours,
we find hundreds of your own
neighbors praising RUX and Wil
liams Formula for the relief these
fine medicines brought to them.
Mrs. Conner Delighted!
Mrs. Emma Conner, living at
Fairview, N. C., (near Asheville)
savs it is a real pleasure to tell
others of her experience.
“Rheumatic-like pains seemed to
follow a constipated, run-down
feeling in my case. I have been
distressed with all this upset and
knew that I would have to get re
lief in a number of ways to really
feel satisfied. I am taking both
RUX COMPOUND and WILLIAMS
FORMULA and I find that these
two medicines are giving me
splendid relief. I can eat so many
more foods without gas and bloat
ing pains, my rheumatic-like pains
are relieved, and my constipation
is stimulated. So you know why I
am glad to have my friends know
of the relief these medicines are
bringing me.”
Charlotte Man Knows What
He’s Talking About!
W. D. Hartz, 105 S. Tryon, Char
lotte, North Carolina, says, “I was
troubled with gassy stomach pains,
and as a result sometimes didn’t
even feel like eating the meal be
fore me. Certain foods brought
about sour indigestion and made
me feel miserable.”
“Often I was up several times
during the night and distressed
with acid-urinary pains, but now
I am experiencing fine relief with
Williams Formula. I enjoy eating
many more foods, too, and Wil
liams Formula has relieved the
gassy pains and the uncomforta
ble feeling after eating. I’m glad
to tell others about Williams For
mula.”
Why Don’t You, Try It?
It costs only a few cents a day
to test these good medicines, right
in your own home. The test may
mean more to you in pain relief
than you ever dreamed. So do
not put off getting your medicine.

Boys Safe After Adventure in "Wilds’
CCC States Policy On
Cotton Loan Stocks
ARTIE M5GOVERN
Columbia, June 7.—The Com
modity Credit Corporation will not
take title to any stocks of loan
cotton without giving prior public
notice, the U. S. Department of Ag
riculture has announced through
R. W. Hamilton, state adminis
trative officer, AAA. This an
nouncement was made in view of
the fact that several inquiries have
been received as to when the Gov
ernment might take title to the
loan stocks of 1938, 1939, and 1940
crops of cotton.
The Corporation now holds title
to 6,170,662 bales of cotton, which
were produced almost entirely in
the years 1934 and 1937. The Cor
poration also has $165,718,578.43 in
loans outstanding on 3,308,703
bales of cotton of the 1938, 1939,
and 1940 crops.
It is possible, says the announce
ment, that the Government may
find it desirable to take title on
August 1, 1941, to any cotton re
maining pledged to secure notes
which are overdue at that time.
In the event, however, that the
Government should take title to
any of the stocks of loan cotton,
at least ten days’ public notice of
such action would be given by a
press release.
If the Government should take
title to loan cotton, the cotton
producers would be paid any a-
mounts by which (1) the redemp
tion costs of their notes (which
include principal, interest, and
carrying charges on the pledged
cotton) were exceeded by (2) a
fair value for the cotton at the
time, which would be determined
by the Secretary of Agriculture
on the basis of the then prevailing
average market prices for cotton
with reasonable allowances for
differences in grades, staple-
lengths, and locations.

Early Summer Notes
About Livestock
Don’t Make Work
Out of Play
When most persons start out on
a vacation trip, it is usually with
the hope of getting a badly needed
rest. All too often they work so
hard at their play that a vac- : on
is more like an exhausting er *' ir-
ance contest. They return to '' 3ir
everyday routine more tired "‘ an
when they left and the trip - 'in
which they counted for re" , '*"9d
energy and pep has done : .ore
harm than good.
Outdoor exercise is a great * ac-
er, but a person who is not ’ JS-
tomed to a strenuous life i in
viting physical and nervour ex
haustion when he plunges i'.o a
program that keeps him on the
go from morning until i <ght.
Take your summer sports in ; mall
doses and mix them well with a
generous amount of loafing. Get
all the fun you possibly can out of
your brief respite from the work
aday world, but guard yourself
from fatigue.
Proper attention to livestock in
June is particularly important,
says County Agent M. A. Bouk-
night, giving brief suggestions to
guide farmers.
Animal Husbandry
1. Start hogs to grazing soy
beans when beans are about 12
inches high. 2. Build a creep and
feed beef calves some grain. 3.
Treat sheep for stomach worms
every two weeks if heavily in-
*ested. 4. Market the spring lambs
when they weigh 70 to 80 pounds
per head. 5. Provide shade and
fresh water for all classes of live
stock. 6. Mow the permanent
pastures to destroy weeds. 7. Ob
serve the livestock for screw-
worm infestation and give treat
ment if needed.
Dairying
1. Control flies by keeping all
manure spread on the fields. 2.
Cool milk and cream immediately
after milking to control bacteria
and undesirable odors and flavors.
3. Plant sufficient summer hay
crops on grain stubble land to
insure an ample supply for next
winter. 4. Mow the pasture often
enough to keep down obnoxious
weeds. 5. Sow pearl millet on a
rich plot close to the barn to
graze or to cut and feed green
when pastures are dry and short.
6. Keep an abundant supply of
fresh water before the cows.
Poultry
1. Keep pullets on clean range
during summer months. 2. Do not
push pullets into egg production;
feed a low protein ration made up
mostly of grain. 3. Watch the
birds for lice infestation and ex
amine the sleeping quarters oc
casionally for mites. 4. If troubled
each fall with chicken pox or
sorehead, vaccinate the pullets
when three to four months of age
to prevent an outbreak.
Lost five days in the stony and heavily wooded wilderness near
Kokadjo, Maine, these two boys Melvin Davis, 15, (left) and Paul Atkin
son, 14, (right) are shown safe in bed folio whig their rescue. When the
pair, with their dog, became separated from their fishing party, the
boys without matches or food, used the dog to keep them warm at night
and during the day left birch bark markings to aid searchers following
their trail.

When you cleaned house this
spring did you find some silver
pieces stored away on the top
shelves of the pantry? If you did
you’re a lucky person and you’ll be
a clever one if you use your grand
mother’s cake-basket and epergn
and castor and any other articles
you may have discovered. There’s
nothing like silver to give “atmos
phere” to a home. Its sheer beauty
adds elegance and dignity to any
room it may grace. Formal din
ners, buffet suppers, afternoon
teas and Sunday breakfasts all
gain importance from the use of
silver appointments.
And here’s the secret of clean
silver. Use it every day and at
every meal and then it will always
be ready for entertaining. Of
course it will never wear out and
constant washing in hot suds wnll
keep it bright and shining.
If you are investing in new sil
ver for yourself or for a gift, pick
out articles that will have more
than one use. A bowl may be used
as a flower holder, a salad bowl
and a fruit dish. A relish dish
becomes a meat platter or a sand
wich tray when the glass lining is
removed. An asparagus dish if
practical in season and out of
season—simply remove the rack
and sauce boat and you have a
server for other vegetables, salad 5 ,
or desserts.
Hundreds of ideas are at hand
for glamorous summer tables. Girl
/graduates, brides and summer
guests are to be feted and there
should be a special table for each
occasion. Make the table for the
sweet girl graduate youthfully
simple but colorful and modern.
The bride’s table should suggest
the forthcoming event. One love
ly table for a bride is arranged on
gleaming white damask. A pair of*
vases holding lilies of the valley
flank a tiny white satin priedeau
placed on a table mirror between
tall burning tapers in low holders
of silver or crystal. A midget
bride’s bouquet is put at each
guest’s place with the place card.
A narrow hall is best handled by
placing all the furniture on c:ie
side. This leaves a straight un
cluttered course'from end to end.
A large mirror set in the wail will
that surpluses whfch
Britain Ifcfts ipay be created. Lord
WooltonTabove) British Minister of
Food, has appealed to U. S. people
to eat less milk, cream, sugar, cof
fee, cheese and canned me^. He
said that two million British chil
dren are in need, of milk.
