B. Summer & Sons, Furniture After recovering from shrapnel wounds. Marine PFC Russell Halsey, 21, Roselle Park, N. J., returned to action in the Tinian Islands, shot a Jap sniper but sustained a broken hip in the action. Twice War Bond funds have helped restore him to health, and Bonds bought and held are healing hjm- dreds of other service men’s wounds. Marine Sgt. Don Baird, Monmouth, III., smiles because War Bonds bought and held at home speeded his recovery from arm wounds suffered in an attack across a dummy flight strip at Saipan. A Jap 77 field piece hit him. During beaching operations on a Pacific island, an LST struck a mine and Milton H. Fox, Mo. M. M., 1/C, 22, Sandusky, Ohio, sustained multiple fracture of both legs. War Bonds invested in and held by folks at home have helped provide treatments that encourage him to look to the day when he will walk normally again. More invasions are being added almost daily in that area with more and more casualties, men who need all the treatment Bonds can supply. f7 S. Treasury Tirheirt** Home Demonstration By MISS ETHEL COUNTS Now is the time to think about your sweet potato patch. Select a fertile, melow, sandy loam soil with natural drainage. Mellow piece of cotton land, making • a bale per acre, is good sweet potato land. If you have not already prepared your land, do so immediately. Lay off rows 3 1-2 to 4 feet apart; apply 800 to 1000 pounds of 3-9-9 fertili zer per acre. Mix fertilizer thor oughly with soil before bedding. Make a bed from 10 to 14 inches high, because high beds will increase your yield. If the root end of the plant ;or sprout is cut off, it will make a po tato resembling a vine cutting potato. Some growers cut off plants even with the ground and set out this part of the plant. When plants begin to grow off, give them an application of nitrate of soda—about 75 pounds per acre— in order to make them grow off quickly and produce early vine cut tings.

Machine-made and patches ' are generally stronger and jnore durable than made by hand but are more conspicuous and not so soft. Machine darning is recommended for holes, tears and thin places in towels, sheets aprons, overalls, children’s play clothes, plain under wear, men’s shirts, and women’s house dresses. Hand darning is pre ferable, however, for fine garments and hosiery. To darn by machine use fine mer cerized or cotton thread which matches the color of the garment, or better, is slightly darker. Adjust the length of the stitch to suit the cloth. The finer the weave, the shorter the stitch. Loosen the thumbscrew on top of the machine to release the pressure oh the presser foot enough so the cloth can be pushed back and forth when stitching. Stitch across the place to be darned, pulling the ma terial slowly backward and forward, and from side to side with both hands. Follow the grain of the ma terial, or stitch on the diagnnal if the fabric has a twill weave. To hold the cloth smooth during darning, and embroidery hoop may be used, or tis sue paper may be basted underneath. The paper will wash out when the garment is laundered. A darn will be stronger if it is re inforced underneath. Baste, a soft or thin piece of fabric of a matching color under the place to be darned before putting it in the machine. Patches like darns are more quick ly made and sturdier if machine- stitched instead of hand-stitched but they show more, so they are best suited to men’s overalls and work shirts, children’s play clothes and other garments where durbility counts more thn appearance.

Why, the very idea! It’s a dire dis grace! No monkey ever deserted his wife. Starved her baby or ruined her life. And you’ve never known a mother monk To leave her young with others to . bunk Till they scarcely knew their mother. And another thing you’ll never see— A monk build a fence around a co- coanut tree And let the cocoa nuts go to waste Forbidding all other monks a taste, do; Go out at night and get on a stew; Or use a gun or a club or a knife To take some other monkey’s life. Yes, man descended, the onery cuss, But brother, he didn’t descend from us. WANTED TO RENT Unfurnished House or Apartment Man and wife, no children.
