RUSE An Irish soldier in France during the World War received a letter from bis wife saying there wasn't an able-bodied man. left, and she was going to dig the garden herself. Pat wrote at the beginning of his taeoct letter: "Bridget, please don't dig the garden; that's where the guns are." The letter was duly censored and in Bhort while a load of meq in uniform arrived 'at Pat's house and pro ceeded to dig the garden from end to end. Bridget wrote to Pat that she did not know what to do, the soldiers had dug up every bit of the garden. Pat's reply was short and to the point: "Put in the spuds."--Health Rays. Put Farm Machinery In Shape, Says Weaver Occasional bright sunshiny days re mind farmers (hat spring and the Jti-ll cropping ' seasou will soon be here. I) S. Weaver, head of the agricultural engineering department at State College, savs no wis the time to net the farm . machinery . needed for spring and summer work; in good shape. W'uitfng until tire machine is need ed is , very poor business, he s.ates. It takes u little while, to order ana obtain repair parts, and, consequent ly. this Job can best be done at this season before the rush begins. Weaver says every good farmer has a shop where, minor repairs to plows, combines, tractors, and oth er equipment can be accomplished utckly and economically. With (the number of blacksmith shops in the communities diminishing, it is more important that the farmer make his repairs in his own farm shop. The coming electricity into rural areas thru cooperative lines n"8t on-' ly provides light tor dark winter days, but furnishes a source of po wer for such operation* * > ! drilling, and t|lndlng.

Hi awakened and "renewed inter,-t on the part of every one tRa' centered oh the. fate of the idea for a National Park status for life Battle ground area. This resulted in the creation of the Kings Mountain N'atiouul Military Park in 1931. The park was created by an Aet of Congress Approved March 3. 193!. The jirea of the park at that time was it) acres, which had been dooaleci the Federal Government by the Kings Mountain Centennial ,t\ssociu tiou. of which Miss Lesslic Witherspoon of York. South Carolina was, and still is, the President. As wo arrive at the 10th AnniverUr.v of the creation of the National Military park, we.are struck by undoubted signs of progress. When the park was created in 1931. it was under the supervision of the War Depart inent. But in 1933, as a part of tile New Deal Legislation, the small but highly important King* Moantain National Military Park was one of several battlefield parks whin, was transferred, from the War Department to the Department of The Interior, to be administered by The National Park Service, which is the Federal Agency administering all the national parks of the United States. ' . . The first Superintendent of the Kings Mountain National Military Park was appointed in 1937. but the park affairs had been administered tor several years by the Coordinat ing Superintendent at Yorktown, Va The presenfc Superintendent wtas transferred to this park after a twoyear tour of duty at the well-known Statue of Liberty, in New York Harbor. In October. 1938. this park was made an Independent establishment, so far as concerns the Coordinating Superintendent. More facilities for the use of the public can now be seen at the park than ever before. A beautirul openair Amphitheatre has been construe ted. for the use of organized groups, with a stage and a permanent-bench seating capacity in excesB of 1,000. This seating capacity can be largely increased when the necessity arises." Work is now being carried on to build a water supply and sewerige disposal system, as well as to brisiK in electricity for power and liKiit. and telephone service. Money is available to place a bituminous -urfaco on the crushed stone base main park drive.
