Strange War Machines
War is a brain spattering, blood
drenching art. Swift called war the
mad game that the world has loved
to play since time began, for primi
tive men started the fisst war, and
sophisticated and educated men the
last one. As long as men live, it
seems, Mars, the unscrupulous God
of war, will reign supreme.
Seneca, who was born about the
year 54 B. C., and who evidently was
a pacifist, gave birth to a sentiment
regarding war, which many today
believe, when he said: “We arrest
those guilty of manslaughter and
execute murderers, but the public
slaughter of whole nations, by sol
diers under uniformed generals,
makes these men national heroes.”
Since early times, men have en
gaged in improving and destroying
engines of war to confute, confound
and destroy their enemies.
From the days of the club, the
■weapon of the first fighters, to
bombs and their deadly gases, the
scientific product of military chem
ists of the present age, the perfect
ing of machines and methods to de
stroy humanity, has steadily pro
gressed.
Even animals have been called
upon to aid man in his attemps at
conquest.
When the famous sea bucaneer
Morgan attacked Panama, then un
der the domain of Spain, with the
purpose of capturing the place and
looting it of its great horde of gol
den treasure, en route , from the
mines of Peru to the mother coun
try. the Hidalgo commander at
tempted to route him by releasing
several thousand enraged wild bulls,
which he chased toward the invading
host.
Morgan stampeded the steers
against the Spanish troops, who re
treated and finally surrendered.
He then sacked the treasury and
the churches and obtained the great
est financial prize of his carter—due
chiefly to the stampeded cattle, for
his piratical crew were outnumbered
twenty to one by the garrison they
attacked.
During the World War. the Ger
man troops in East Africa, about
10.000 men, held off the Allies’ ar
mies, whose combined strength was
All day the old hymn of Thanks
giving has been ringing in my ears,
“Come ye thankful people, come,
raise the song of harvest home.”
Finally I hunted it up and lead it
through so now I can get my mind
down to the business of the Thanks
giving dinner.
If you are planning to have tur
key, get it stuffed and all ready for
the oven the day before Thanksgiv
ing. Then store it in the refrigera
tor. Remember you will need to al
low a little extra time for roasting
because the bird will be very cold.
Roast in an uncovered pan at 350
degrees F., and allow thirty minutes
to the pound, weighing the bird be
fore stuffing. As the weight in
creases above eight pounds, de
crease the roasting time per pound,
about a minute a pound.
Of course there will be left-over
turkey—that's half the fun of hav
ing one—and so here are some of
our favorite left-overs.
First of all, sliced cold and gar
nished with cranberry jelly. Then
club sandwiches, regular three-
deckers with dill pickles and crisp
broiled bacon (Canadian preferred)
and sliced tomato, lettuce and may
onnaise.
After these turkey treats come all
the made dishes: ramekins and
souffles: rice and turkev chartreuse;
creamed turkey on toast or in patty
shells; turkey, skinned-grape, celery
and toasted almond salad; turkey
hash and last of all, turkey soup.
Remember when you use fowl of
any kind in a made dish not to over
cook it. Over-cooking will make it
tasteless, cottony, and altogether un
desirable.
Maybe you don’t want a turkey,
although in the city you can buy
just half a turkey if your family is
very small. Or maybe you want to
stretch your turkey to serve more
guests. Chicken pie is the answer
In fact many of our New England
forefathers insisted on both chicken-
pie and turkey for their Thanks
giving dinners.
The “fixin’s” are the same for
either chicken-pie or turkey. Cream
ed onions, baked squash, cranberries,
approximately 300,000 by the aid of j pumpkin pie, rice pudding, nuts and

WOMAN’S CLUB MEETS
WITH MISS NORA LONG
Miss Nora Long’s home was the
scene of meeting of the Woman’s
club last Thursday afternoon.
Mrs. R. A. Goodman had charge
of the program, the topic being
“What I Like in the Newspapers.”
Mrs. Goodman told of the history of
newspapers and discussed those of
the state.
Mrs. J. C. Peery gave a sketch of
the life of Walter Lippman while
Mrs. J. W. Carson reviewed the life
and writing of another famous col
umnist, Dorothy Thompson.

bees and hornets* who were stirred
into action by electric buzzers insert
ed in their nests. The current was
turned on when troops and pack
trains with supplies approached
through the dense jungle trails.
Virgil and Pliny also speak of the
soldiers of their day employing bees
to help them attack beleagured gar
risons.
One of the earliest patents ever
granted took advantage of the bees’
natuial hatred for intruders, when
angered.
In 1326 A. D., Edward II of Eng
land, issued letters of patent to one
of his courtiers for a device mounted
on a movable base, provided with
small wheels, and having an upright
thereon, containing arms “like unto
ye windmille arms, ye said arms be
ing provided with means for ye
holdying of bee-hives at ye ends.”
When this engine of war was
moved toward a wall -or a fortress,
the wind mill arms were rotated by
a belt driven by a hand wheel, and
the angry bees ejected from their
homes, swarmed over obstructions
and city walls and attacked the de
fenders.
This strange device is credited with
having routed many soldiers, cap
turing cities, and bringing numerous
victories to the Englishmen.

Now is a good time to level up
the lawn. A top-dressing of good
loamy soil, free from weed seeds, not
only evens up the low spots, but is
very good for the grass. Bone meal
is a splendid long-lasting fertilizer
to mix with the soil.

FINAL CHECK OF SOIL
BUILDING PRACTICES BEGUN
The office of the Newberry County
Agricultural Conservation Associa
tion announces the start of final
check of 1969 soil building practices
on Newberry county farms which got
underway Tuesday, November 14. Per
formance work is scheduled to be
completed within ten days, except on
farms where additional soil building
practices are to be carried out before
January 1, 1940. Checking farms for
late soil building practices will be
delayed at the request of the pro
ducer.
County Association officials point
out that 1939 conservation payments
may be speeded up if performance re
ports are completed and filed in the
county office without delay. In order
to avoid and delay in field work,
farm operators are urged to cooper
ate to the fullest with community
performance reporters.
During the period, November 14
through November 24, farm operators
should be on the watchout for their
Ipcal performance reporters and be
ready to assist them in recording the
soil building practices carried on their
farm. In cases where farm opera
tors cannot be personally present to
assist with the performance work,
a duly authorized representative
should be present in order to avoid
anv delay or confusion.
It is the desire of the county office
to do a quick, accurate job of check
ing soil building practices at a min
imum cost. Every dollar saved in
