COMETIMES one small incident
- changeSa whole life's trend, and
leads to prominence beyond all
previous dreams. We all recall one
or two unexpected happenings in
our own lives which changed their
whole course.
John J. Pershing, who rose to be
general of all the United States
army, might have had an entirely
different life had he not taken adj
vantage of a lucky opportunity. He
was born in 1860 at Laclede, Mo.
His father was boss of railroad
gang and, later, a farmer. John
quit school when he was thirteen to
work on the farm, digging fence
holes, herding sheep, planting corn,
all the usual jobs that are the lot of
farm boy. Ambitious to be law
yer, he studied night after night.
In 1879, he got a job as teacher
in Prairie Mount, Mo-, and saved
most of the $40 per month he re-
ceived to study law at Kirksville
Normal school.
Then came the incident which
changed his whole life. Jack Perish
ing saw an advertisement announc-
ing competitive examinations for
West Point. He had only two weeks
to prepare, but he won the appoint
ment. At West Point he won prom
inence as president of his class and
as first captain of the corps of ca
diets. Possessing the characteristics
of a perfect soldier, his assignments
after graduation into the army
were marked with success. While
a military instructor at the Univer-
sity of Nebraska, he resumed his
law studies and took his degree.
Since the army conducts its own
military courts, this gave Pershing
an opportunity to combine his busi-
ness love with his soldierly success.
When the World war broke out, he
was made general of the u. S. army.

Hatcheries Flooded With Chick Orders
AS Answer To Rationed Meat Shortage

With poultry and eggs taking an
ever-increasing place of prominence
on the menu of Bluffton area fami-
lies, replacing rationed meat, local
chick hatcheries report deluge of
orders this spring.
Meat shortages and continued good
prices for eggs have created de-
mand for chicks which may result in
record hatchery season, and a
backlog of orders is steadily piling
up for baby chicks.
Poultrymen who were warned last
fall and winter that a surplus of
eggs would be inevitable this spring,
have seen a continued steady demand
at good prices resulting from string
ent rationing of meat.
A third factor in the demand for
chicks is an improvement in the feed
situation, which has made it possible

Turnin Greens

Turnip green's grown on soils rich
in organic matter are high in iron.
Turnip green's grown in the spring
generally contain more iron than
those grown in the fall. The iron
content in turnip green's decreases
with the application of nitrogen fer
tilizer, the specialists explain, al
though such applications increase
the yield of the greens.

erected only last Fall, the report stat
ed. An addition is also planned for the
USS Club at Balboa, which has a
newly-formed Port Committee, and
which has become a port of great i'm
portance due to the fact that as the
Pacific war speeds up, turn-arounds at
Balboa will shorten, and as the num-

others on the SOU squad.
The floor was quite last and this I
think aided the Mules in being able
to hold the 372nd to as low a score
as they did. AS the game moved ON,
it was noted that the SOU boys were
tiring and for lack of Substitutions
Turner, Moore and Randolph played
the entire game. Had subs been
available, it would have been no dif-
ferent. The hardwooders from the
infantry were the better.
AS the game got underway, Evans,
who by far was the best man on the
floor, began to show his art as a ball
handler. Jones in his position, guard,
was also dreaded The All Stars
were fast on the breakaways and
once the ball was in their possession
it, in most cases, ended in the basket.
This was the All-Stars' second
game of the season. The first one
was lost to the Douglas Army Air
Base, and when they came upon the
court, they had resolved to avenge
that defeat. This they did.
The fans arriving early saw the
preliminary game between Company

was high point man with seven
