English Are Careful
In Cultivating Land
?
Before the war. Britain had 12
million acres of land-under cultiva
tion This year, about 16 million
acres were plowed. According to
Triple A Administrator R. M. Evans,
who accompanied Mr. Appleby to
England and lost 10 pounds during
the trip, "The British are not only
distributing their food with utmost
care but are straining to the limit
to produce all they can." They have
farmer committees somewhat simi
lar to the Triple A committees in
this country, but with powers un
dreamed of in the United States. If
a committee looks at your farm and
doesn't think you are making an
earnest and intelligent effort to pro
duce enough, you are told to im
prove your methods. If you say, "It's
my farm, I'll do as I please," the
committee tells you, "You're not
farming here any more." Out you
go, and the committee moves in with
tractors and farms the way it thinks
your pluce should be farmed.?The

Crowd With Real Show

Sensational Game

Even Better Than Acfl
vanee Notices
Despite the fact that the crowd
had to wait for about an hour to get
into the gym. they were well repaid
for their patience as the House of
David and the Martins put on pos
sibly the best basketball exhibition
ever seen in this section of the coun
try. Ham Hamilton and Bill Stein
eke did everything possible on a
basketball court?from making beau
1 ifnl shots to clowning in deluxe
fashion. But they were" not the stais
of the game, for it was none other
than our own Lil Artie Diem who
coped the honors. Besides scoring
18 points to lead both teams, Pappy
unfolded an array of fancy dribbling
and passing which even had the
bearded boys spellbound.
Oh,'we almost forget. In case you
want to know, the House of David
won 47-36, but that was a small part,
for nobody present gave a hoot what
theN score was.
Starting the game, Hamilton and
Diem were hot, both making a num
ber of hard shots from deep spots,
to make the score at the end of the
first quarter 12-11. Half-time found
both teams knotted at 21-21. But the
Davids took a 34-26 lead in the third
quarter to drift in for a victory.
Hamilton gave out in full fashion,
climaxing his play w ith a shot from
the top of the bleachers. Another of
his tricks was to take the ball rolled
on the floor, run it up his leg and
out his arm, around his shoulders,
and than making a lightning-like
pass.
Despite their trickery, those Dav
ids very seldom made a bad pass,
all of which goes to show that the
players always controlled the situa
tion and knew what they were do
ing. Beyond a doubt, everyone en
joyed the exhibition and were proud
of the fact that Pappy held his own
with- the greatest players in the
game today.
By the way, we almost forgot the
box score:

Ask Cooperation
In Convoy Travel
Atlanta, Ga.?An appeal to civilian
drivers of automobiles to cooperate
witn the Army in movement of con
voys through the eight southeastern
states was voiced recently by Lieu
tenant Colonel C. W. Richmond, Mo
tor Transport Officer on the staff of
Ilrigadier General iTiimci; I, Frinlr,
Fourth Corps Area Quartermaster.
"Troops and equipment must be
continuously moved if the Army is
to get the proper amount of training
during their short term of service,"
Colonel Richmond said, "and the
only place that they can travel is on
the highways."
Drivers of private vehicles were
asked by the Quartermaster Corps
to uvoid cutting into convoys while
traveling in the same direction, and
to use caution in passing other cars
while meeting the line of Army
trucks. ' .
Convoys are routed, whenever pos
sible to avoid large cities and high
ways bearing heavy civilian truffic.
When convoys do have to go
through large towns, however, the
sections of the line, ordinarily spread
out on the highways, close up to
permit fast passage through con
gested districts. Civilians were asked
teams and winning a majority.
Pictured above, left to right,
they are: Love, Nabors, McCain,
Lively, Haynes and Daniels.
Free Markers For
Confederate Craves
Certain that there are numbers of
unmarked Confederate soldiers'
graves in this county, a movement is
being launched to supply and erect
the markers free, Miss Margaret Ev
erett, of Palmyra, announced a few
days ago. A similar offer was made
some years ago and many of the
special markers were erected in this
county, but there are yet many
graves of Confederate soldiers un
marked.
Any ancestor or a friend of a sol
dier of the Confederacy is asked to
file proper application for a mark
er Miss Everett, a member of the
United Daughters of the Confeder
acy, is offering her services in pre
paring the applications and search
ing up the necessary records to go
on the markers.
The least that cOuld be done out of
respect to the memory of those who
upheld the Cause of the South would
be to see that their graves are prop
el ly marked, and anyone knowing
where there is ail unmaiked Cun
federate soldier's grave should con
tact Miss Everett at Palmyra at
not to nUi'inpl to cross thy convny 1
line while it is in progress through
cities.
The Quartermaster Corps, respon
sible for the safe movement of the
I troops by both rail and motor trans
port, has adopted rules governing
| the action of convoys while en route
and have asked local authorities to
assist in preventing traffic conges
tions.
State and city officials are re
quested by officers in charge of the
convoys to furnish police escorts to
clear the way for the Army trucks.
At all intersections where traffic is
heavy, either a civilian or military
policeman is stationed to direct both
civilian and mlitary vehicles.
When a convoy approaches a small
, town or a country intersection where
no civilian police are available, mH
[itary policemen are sent ahead of
llie convoy on motorcycles to direct
traffic.
IN REMEMBRANCE
Of our dear husband and father,
Noah A. Cherry, who departed from
this world the twenty-third of De
cember, 1936. No one knows how
much I miss you. God saw fit to take
you up to Heaven to rest on Cannas
happy shore, where Heaven is your
home. You are listening to the angels
sing their Christmas carol songs. I
will meet you, never fear.
