He’s really “cooking with gas” here, as you will note and says he intends to give the people the low- down on the 13th. But just as a warning to candi dates not to be overoptimistic, our il lustrator has pictured 1 for us what a defeated candidate might look like af ter the votes are counted on the 14th. This boy looks sick, doesnlt he? OFFICERS (WHO SETTLE CLAIMS PRAISE FARMERS’ PATRIOTISM Lake Charles, La., Sept. 21.—Offi cers who settle claims for damage done in the Louisiana war maneuv ers, in the midst of checking off such items as watermelons devoured by the troops and chickens that disappear ed, today praised the patriotism of farmers making cash sacrifices for their government. One third army officer, commented on the farmers who have permitted the government without cost to use 16,000,000 acres of their land for the war games involving 500,000 troops, said: “Considering the size of the area, we have received comparatively few claims. The majority of them were for destruction of pine trees and large plantings by tanks and trucks. “None of the claims have been ex- orfcinant and in many cases the far mers and landowners, after making their claims, say "Forget it. I may have $10 or $15 due me, but I’d rather let the government keep the money. Its all part of national de fense.’ ” One fanner who had 160 chickens just before a negro service unit moved onto bis property, the officer said, made no claim on the govern ment but contented himself with this memorandum: “I had 160 chickens and now I have 60. I am not asking payment for the 100 that disappeared but only protection for the 60 that remain.” When troops eat their way through a watermelon patch or an orchard, the claim may be filed with the gov ernment by an irate farmer, but it is sent right back to the company unit and the soldiers responsible for the free meal have to pay for it them selves. When the government was pro paring for the movements and ob tained permission from the farmers to use their land, the army received thousands of such grants, but the classic of them all is this: “You can use all my land, but don’t kill my cows or molest my womenfolk.” One well-satisfied farmer through whose land the army passer, wrote: “I wish to thank you and your men for cleaning my land of grass and weeds (and probably red bugs). It looks much nicer and cleaner now than when you first occupied it.” IN MEMORY OF MRS. LEILA HUGHES (Written by request) She was prepared for China, To work across the foam When she said the Lord had shown her, She was needed nearer home. * She went to North Carolina, Upon the mountain side Where families had settled And hoped to live and thrive. \ She told them God had sent her, To help them in some way But if they didn’t want her, Of course she would not stay. They said they were poor people, And could but little pay But that she should not suffer, If there she cared to stay. » They prepared a vacant cabin, Where she lived and taught school The children loved their teacher, And obeyed her every rule. Sunday’s she told them of Jesus, In a clear and simple way And if they would be like him, They must trust him and obey. Soon a small church building, Baptist Women Hold Series of Meetings A series of meetings that is looked forwajd to each year by the Baptist Woman’s Missionary Union of South Carolina is the. divisional meetings held in each section of the state.

No. Navy enlistees need not be high school graduates. All appli cants will be given an examina tion containing approximately 100 questions. A grade of 50 per cent or better on this examination la sufficiently high to pass the Navy educational standards. However, a high school education will be valuable to the seaman during his Navy enlistment. esc If I enlist in the Navy or Naval Reserve, will I be sent to a Navy Trade School? All new recrnlta are sent to one of four Naval Training Stations and after a training period they may take examinations for entrance into Navy Trade Schools. Those recruits who pass their examina tions with sufficiently high grades are sent to Navy Trade Schools before assignment to the fleet. While attending these schools, they will receive regular Navy pay and free schooling valned at $1500. • • s What is the greatest possible pay I can expect to earn during my first term of enlistment? It is possible to earn as ranch as $126 a month by the end of your first term of enlistment, and re member that your clothing, lodg ing, medical and dental cars ara all anpplied free. • e e After I have served my term of enlistment, what benefits do I get for re-enlistment? Depending on your rate and length of service, you can get a cash bonus up to $S00 plus SO days leave with pay. a o • t What does the term “ash can" * mean in the Navy? An “ash can” is a slang term ap plied to the depth charge used to combat anbmarinea. The average “ash can” is a container filled with approximately S00 pounds of TJf.T. and can be dropped over board from a ship and so con trolled as to explode at depths ranging from SO to S00 feet. These are generally carried by the fast ships In the fleet, as a boat drop ping a charge regulated to ex plode at 70 feet depth mast move away from the explosion area at a speed of 25 knots or more. These “ash cans” are either rolled off the stern or shot from “y-guns” which hnrl one right and one left simultaneously. P. B. WARNER BUSH RIVER SCHOOL NEWS Bush River has been orphaned somewhat this week. Two of our teachers have been ill for several days. Mr. J. H. Bedenbaugh, our Superintendent, has been out since Tuesday and Miss Edith Drake, who teaches French and Science, was out Thursday and Friday. Mrs. Warren Abrams and Mrs. Junius Long very capably filled these temporary vacan cies. Latest reports seem very fav orable and the whole school is wish ing for them the speediest recovery. We are looking forward to having them back with us next week. Next week means something else too—something not so anticipated. It will mark the sixth week of study this school year, and there is not a student at Bush River who fails to recognize what this means. There will be considerably more poring over books and probably quite a few groans when the final test marks have become known. However, we are all hoping for the best. Basketball practice has started at last. A large number of boys and girls have come out, hoping to play this year. Some of course, will he disappointed. There are very few who are absolutely sure of a position on either of the teams. Consequent ly, everyone is still optimistic. But, no matter Who is on the first team, we will all be behind them, cheering them on.
