(Winthrop News Service Photo) Capital Life Co. Institutes r . Program The Sun is carrying this week the first of a series of advertise ments for the Capital Life & Health Insurance Company of Columbia. These ads will appear regularly each week in this paper usually on page 2. Lester Bates, President of the Capital Lite, in announcing the plans for the campaign, said: “For some time I have realized that my company should back up the excellent work being done by the men in the field with a syste matic advertising program. I have felt that we should try PROFESSIONAL NOTICE After July 1st I will again do general practice and will make night and county calls. , Dr. Reyburn W. Lominack especially to reach the people in the rural areas of the State. After careful consideration and much thought and investigation as to the best method to use, 1 have come to the definite con clusion that no other advertising medium can do a better job than the local newspapers?” Continuing, Mr. Bates said: “Capital Life is extremely for tunate in securing the services of Crady Hazel as its advertising manager, and it is under his di rection this series of advertising is being initiated. Mr. Hazel’s more than 30 years of experience in the newspaper field admirably qualifies him, I believe, for his present position. I have no doubt that the campaign we are launch ing will prove to be the best ad vertising money this company has ever spent, and will result in our company, already the fastest grow ing of its kind in the State, also becoming the largest industrial life insurance company in South Carolina.” The Capital Life says it will appreciate comments, either fav orable or unfavorable, on these advertisements, as well as sug gestions as to how they may be improved. Folks in the Dutch Fork have always grown a lot of truck to sell in Columbia.- In fact, be fore refrigeration became general and long shipment of perishables became possible, the Dutchmen from Lexington county used to largely feed Columbia with fresh things. When I was a kid, they told this on one of them, r don’t know if it actually happened or not. The many other things I’ve told jou under this heading were true. I experienced most of them my self. But r didn’t this one. This Dutchman took a one- horse wagonload of produce to Columbia. He sold it at the asylum. They assigned one of the harmless inmates to help him unload it. Just to start conver sation as they worked, the farm er asked him if he had ever farmed. He said, “Yes, I farmed some.” Then he asked the farm er, “Have you ever been in tho asylum?” The farmer said, “No,” The fellow replied, "It sure beats farming.” On the way home, the farmer thought about what that fellow had said. And the longer he thought about it the more he figured that fellow might have been right. For he had on better clothes and ^ nothing to worry about. While the tire came off one of the wagon wheels on the way home, the farmer had to leave the wagon and ride the mule home that night in the rain, go back in the buggy next day and get the wheel, fixing ft ate up what produce had brought, and then he had to go away down there with the wheel in the buggy and leading another mule to pull the wagon back over the 16 miles of terrible roads. Dawdle Dell Corresponder pROFESSOR Walden Hightower, * local fellow who instructs over at the state college and comes up pretty often with some bughouse theory, made a speech claiming “there ain’t no such animal as a 100 per cent pure Republican or Democrat.” Why, even the dumb est codger in Dawdle Dell knows, hot as politics is down here, that a Republican whose soul was both ered with a single, solitary Demo crat idea, or a Democrat with a Republican itch, would hang^him- self just to spite the opposite party. • • • • • Rita Riley, local girl who made good in Hollywood as a car-hop, is making a personal appearance tour in Dawdle Dell. • • • Hank Potter, store keeper over at Sweet Lick, says he’s glad that “death, which chases all of us, ain’t as speedy, as Mad Hopping, hot-rod ambulance driver for the Rest-in- Peace Mortuary.” Hank says a corpse can always depend on a good and fast last lap to graveside with Mr. Hopping driving. The time he brought Mrs. Rafe Butcher’s body from Sweet Lick, he ou iis- tanced the rest of the funeral pro cession three times, having to re trace his course each time to find his confused followers. Those who believe in ghosts say Mrs. Butcher’s shade grew tired of the bumpy road and departed the ambulance on the edge of Marple’s Woods. Anyway, that’s how the woods got the repu tation for being haunted by a mad spirit that thunders through the trees in a hot-rod golden chariot.

Sym bolic of 14 broken marriages are the dolls of James E. Daniels, Seattle, who may b# the most-divorced man in the United States. The dove is the only game bird that breeds in every state of the United Stdtes. Yet our leading conservationists are alarmed for fear that it might become extinct The dove population is dwindling away in a rather alarming man ner. Disease and bad weather have claimed many, but foremost is the scant food supply. So it is good news that the U. S. Soil Conservation Service has announced a new dove food that might well be their salvation. It is the very common 'pokeberry. Doves do not eat insects; they do not eat green foods; they will not eat bicolor lespedeza, the new quail food. Pokeberry is the only field perennial eaten by doves. And it grows from Florida to Texas, from Minnesota to New England. According to SCS bio logist Yerne E. Davison, once established it can be maintained year after year indefinitely. A number of other wildlife species eat the pokeberry fruits in summer and fall. Raccoons, opossums, foxes, mockingbirds and many other fruit-eating birds use the juicy berries; but only the pulp and juice are digested. The shiny black seeds pass through in the droppings. Doves, and in cidentally bobwhites, eat the seeds after the fruits have dried and will eat the seeds in drop pings Pokeberry can be established by transplanting crowns but it is more practical to grow It from seed. There is no commercial supply of seed available as yet; but anyone who wants to grow pokeberry can do so by collect ing the ripe berries and follow ing the directions put out by the Soil Conservation Service. I’ve had people tell me “You can’t get people to plant poke berry. They’ve been destroying the stuff all their lives.”' But farmers and sportsmen are learn ing. They fought it when they knew it only as a weed . They will plant it when they know it as a savoir of doves. Pokeberry has value to many kinds of American wildlife—but particularly to the mourning dove. This is another milestone in our search for a plant of high value to each species of American game. Nature along cannot pro duce enough food for the game we want. We must feed "two doves where there is scarcely food enough for one now. MIGHTY MOLECULE ...

Stressing the importance of try out camps. Manager Eddie Stanky related that, “The Cardinals since 1926, when they won their first pennant and World Series, have been a first division ball club in 22 out of 26 years primarily because they operate one of the finest farm systems ever seen in organized baseball. Right now 18 of the 24 players on our roster are products of the Cardi nal farms.” Each summer the St. Louis National Leaguers operate tryout camps throughout the country in search of potential big league material. “I think the fact that Stan Musial, Red Schoendienst, Gerry Stale, Solly Hemus and ‘Vinegar Bend’ Mizell, to name only five, are products of the Cardinal farm system proves the worth of operating tryout Camps, Stanky said. The Cardinal baseball empire, composed of 15 farm teams in 11 states and Canada in every classi fication of baseball, is today the largest in the world. “Major league talent,” emphasized Stanky, “must minors be developed in the And right now, the Birds offer the best system the development and advan< of young talent.” Workouts for all players terested in a professional b ball career begin each day at promptly 11 A.M.
