Platt, of Adams Run, S C.. and Miss Annie Rob Luttrell, which was solem- nized Thursday afternoon at six at the home Of MT. and Mrs. c. J. Dodd. grand parents of the fair young bride. was surrounded by intense interest and marked the continuation of another pretty wartime romance begun during the days of the soldier boys at camp Mcclellan.
 The ceremony was performed by the Rev. Leon M. Latimer, pastor of the Parker Memorial Baptist church, the pretty ring ceremony being used. The nuptial vows were said in front of an improvised mantel altar in the parlor or the Dodd home, and the color scheme of pink and white was charm ingly carried out. The bride wore a blue tailored suit with hat to match and wore corsage bouquet of white brides roses.
 Witnessed only by the members of the two families and a few of the in- innate friends of the fair young bride the ceremony which added the holy bonds or matrimony to the silken ties of love was one of sacred sweetness. No attendants were used and with the home influences predominating the. popular young people plighted their troth and linked their lives in charm ing and simple manner.

The story related by MT. wells made deep impression upon his fellow workers who were present and will undoubtedly prove an inspiration 10 them to promote the industry to other counties throughout the state.
 In addition to the 76 county demon strators who attended the meeting, there were also present several specialists in various branches of farm extension work and their talks were devoted largely to of the many problems now confronting Mississippians who are en- gagged in agricultural activities.

 Today you will be stocking your pantry with cans of fruits and vege- tables.
 When you do start using ydur can ned fruits, whether the home canned or the carefully selected commercially canned of highest quality, make them into dishes that will form an impor- tant part of the meal.
 With the meal planned light in starches and meat a dessert of cooked rice, brown preferred, made rich with eggs, and fresh or evaporated milk and deliciously favored with some of your canned fruits gives the foods to complete a balance and satisfy all cravings,
 The conservation advantage of corn- mercially canned fruits is that they are canned at the moment when the natural sugar of the fruit is at it's highest. This is also the time of fin- est flavor Because of the national producers facilities for gathering and preserving fruits at the proper mo- ment less sugar is required for the canning process than usually regard ed necessary
 You will also have in your reserve pantry rolled oats that can be made into delicious cookies for picnic or

After these two important uses we list 1t with flavorings, as it's own delicious qualities make it a welcome substitute for both these important foods. Try a cream soup from your reserve stock some time Diluted evaporated milk thickened a bit with corn starch, salted and favored with peanut butter makes a. delicious, hearty soup.
 Combine the quality canned fish on your shelf with rice, or hominy to make 1t "go-farther."

It was in warfare that the idea was evolved of soldiers having their chins clean shaven to enhance their fighting power. In olden times. when fighting a. closer quarters than now. soldiers boards offered very ready means of seizing one another, and it was the man who first succeeded in sezing his opponents beard who usually had the best of the bargain. The early races are said to have effected a compromise in order to retain a filter military appearance, and the ancient Egyptians who had cut off or could not cultivate boards often wore heavy false oeards when they went into battle. When an enemy seized hold of their beard, it came off instantly and the ancient Egyp- tian was able to dispatch his quarry while in a trance of stupefaction and hor- TOT

VETERANS MAKE DISCOVERY

Anniston, August 1.--(Special) )-George Washington Jones, some times called "Ananias' by his intimate friends. and Steve B. Arnold, two of the best known and most active Confederate veterans made what they think may develop into an important discovery at Oxford Lake Thursday while attending the annual picnic of Gordon Memorial camp.
 The two veterans discovered a spot at the edge of the lake where oil is steadily bubbling to the top of the water, and with the eyes of the country now turned toward the oil fields of the west, the two veterans feel sure that they have found a volunteer oil well which can be devel- oped easily.
 The oil at the point noticed by the two old soldiers arises from the lake bed fr a steady flow at times, and there is every indication of oil at that point.
