ITALIANS CLAIM
 U. 5. SHIP SUNK
Battleship Mississippi Is Claimed to Have Been
 Sunk Off South Africa

(Enemy origin-not filed by . United Press correspondent.)
 Berlin, Sept. 6-(German broad cast recorded by United Press in New York) = An Italian military communique issued in Rome said today that Italian naval forces had sunk the United States Battleship Mississippi of Freetown, South Africa.
 The battleship was sunk by an Italian submarine, the communique said. The first brief announcement gave no details of the action.
 CThe Mississippi, commissioned in 1917, was of 33,OO0 tons with a nor nal complement of 1928 officers and men. There was no confirmation of the Italian claim from any Amer ican or allied source.)
 In 8 special communique Rome radio added that the Mississippi was hit by four torpedoes from the large ocean-going submarine Barbarico which also had been credited months ago with sinking battleship of the 32,000-ton Maryland type. CThat sinking likewise never was con- firmed by Allied authorities)
 The Barbarico attacked the Mis- sissippi $50 miles off the African coast this morning, the communique said, at about 2:3O Rome time. (7:3O p. m. Monday, EWT).
 In supplementary communiQues the position of the sinking was moved closer to the African shore to about 300 miles of Freetown- and the ship was designated only as "of the Mississippi type" They added that the vessel was hit all four times in the bow.
 (Also of the Mississippi type were the Battleships Idaho and Mex Mexico, both laid down in 1915.)
 The Barbarigo was commanded by Enzo Grossi, the communique said.
 Washington, Oct. 6. (UP)-The navy department declined comment today on Rome's claim that an Italian submarine had torpedoesd and sunk the U. s. Battleship Mis- SiSSipi.

for there were many like me run

He took me into a big office

was full of sergeants, corporals

others doing the same thing
was. BY dinner time, they had

Tuesday, nothing happened. Then
Wednesday, we ''processed"; that
is, took classification tests, check

interviewed, which is important
to see what you will be in the ar

they take these tests, are CLASH

"set you straight.
The next day we were uniform

more are there the sizes of "too
big" and "too small".
That night we were called out
for shipment-47 of us. Where
to we didn't know, for they don't
say, but there were rumors that
we were going anywhere from
Maine to California. The next
day when we left for the station
the lieutenant in charge told us
we were going to st. Petersburg,
Fla, which made us all very hap

ate in the dining car. Uncle Sam

August was record month in
many ways. for rain, cold wealth
er, weeds and apparently for Cd
dities in plant life, judging from
the many unusual types brought
into the office of The Skyland
Post.
The entire summer seems to
have been ruinous on small po-
tatoes, because more than ever
they grew into something big!
Russell w. Barr, popular mana
ger of the Parkway Theatre re-
ports that he grew around FAC
bushels and brought in two tu-
bers, both of which topped the
scales at more than two pounds
each.
Billy Coward, young son OF
Mr.. and Mrs. r. w. Coward also
went in for potato growing this
summer and had much success.
Some of his potatoes in addition
to eyes had several extra nobs.
Billy brought in two which are
on display in the window of The
Post, one of which has five nobs
and the other four. The potatoes
weigh around two pounds each.
Blooming Corn
Wanda Weaver, young daugh-
ter of Mr.. John A. Weaver,
brought in a potato grown on
their farm at Beaver Greek
through which a nettle weed had
grown. The root of the weed ex-
tended far below the potato and
the plant above. Neither appear
ed to be hurt by the encounter.
She also brought in a stalk OF
"blooming" corn. In place OF
the usual ear the corn had a
bunch of IA small ears and tas-
sells combined. Sad to relate the
first night this was placed in the
window of The Post, the rats
were so delighted to find some
thing more edible than paper
that they ate the last bit of it.
