property is sold by the RFC. The
preference on real property has to

A veteran who wishes to buy a

after the property has been split up
into what are deemed to be the
right sized units. The veteran may
apply for the purchase of any or all
of these units. But he should bear in
mind that he can purchase only one
such unit under his veterans prefer

the same piece Of property, lots will
be drawn to see who gets it.
The Smaller War Plants Corpora

seeking to buy surplus property, but
wherever possible, he should visit or

CURRENT COMMENT
BY Henry Willis

Our High School Football Teom
lost the last game to an alert and
well-drilled team. Durant sprang a
surprise by passing on the very first
play and kicking on the second. The
tactics set us right back against our
goal and then they prevented our
getting out of the hole until they
had scored touchdown and safe
ty which was the measure of their
superiority. They won, three touch
downs to two, but they made their
points after and the safety besides.
1t was hard game, well played and
there are more years coming. We
have fine boys and an excellent
Coach. Five games won with two
lost makes mighty good record for
the season and good start for a
return to athletics in the school.
The Army-NavY Come Saturday
promised to be the best Of the sea-
ron. That is one game that is rare
y to be counted won or lost until
the final whistle. There is no deny
ing that the present Army team ap-
pears to be one, Of the best teams
the country ever has developed,
easily the equal of such teams as
Southern California had or to the
best Notre Dame with her four
horsemen ever developed. The
ightest man on the West Point team
weighs 100 pounds. They have won
II straight games including one
from Navy last year. Army has a.
bout year age advantage and a
years experience amounts to a
whole lot. Besides the Military
Academy team has what amounts to
m unexcellable recruiting system.
Nearly every college in the country
has an army officer (or severaD as
signed; ROTC schools have at least
4 non-com. These hundreds OF Army
officers are watching all the foot
ball players in most of the colleges
In all of the states and naturally use
whatever influence they can to get
the best of them into West Point
The Naval Academy is wholly lack
ing in such recruiting for its ath-
letes and accepts younger candidates
So it has to be admitted that Army"
has an edge. Still, up to last year,
Navy had won five straight inter-
service games. Navy isn't a good bet
this year but don't ever believe
Navy comedies the game--not by a
long shot.

ment. He must present satisfactory
proof that such equipment is requir-
ed.
To be entitled to the preference,
a veteran or several veterans togeth-
er must own more than one-haf of
the enterprise SO that it is under his
or their control, or must have an
agreement by which he or they to-
gether receive more than half of the
net income from the enterprise.
A veteran resident of Mississippi
who wants to buy surplus property
should 60 to the nearest office of the
Smaller War Plants Corporation, at
1101 Tower Building, Jackson, Miss,
or Sterick Building, Memphis, Tenn
He should furnish the Corporation
with full information as to what he
wants, at the same time producing
his discharge or terminal leave pa
pers or other evidence that he is a
veteran.
When the Smaller War Plants
Corporation finds the veteran is eli
gible to make the purchase he de-
sires, the Corporation gives him a
certificate or certificates describing
the kind and amount of property
which he has a preference to buy
1t then directs him to the disposal
agency which has that kind of prop
erty for sale. If the property he
wants is not in surplus stock at the
time, he should let the SWPC know
that fact, because that agency will
make every effort to get it for him
as soon as possible. If he asks it to
do so, the SWPC may act as his
agent in making purchases.
The veteran cannot always buy as
little or as much as he wants. The
Government cannot 60 into the re-
tail business. 1t cannot, for instance
break up tool kit to sell the veteran
a hammer. 1t may not be able even
to sell him just one tool kit. Furth-
ermore, it must consider either vet
Grams who may want to buy the
same article he does. When supplies
are limited, every effort will be
made to insure fair distribution.
A veteran is allowed, when stocks
are available, to buy the equipment
and stock he needs to get started
including goods bought for resale
But after purchasing this first stock
he cannot replenish his stock by fur
ther purchasing under his prefer
ence. He can, however, make furth-
er purchases on the same terms as
other buyers.
The Government will not back a
veteran in business, but it will, un-
der certain conditions, arrange for
him to buy goods on credit.
Prices charged veterans for prop
erty other than real estate will in
no case be more than the lowest
price charged any other buyer fol
the same type of property. In fix
ing prices, condition of the property
will be taken into consideration. The
veteran cannot be charged more thar
the lowest price which is offered tc
anyone else at the time of his pur-
chase.
If veteran wants to buy land OF
real property classified as suitable
for agricultural, residential or small
business purposes, he does not apply
to the SWPC. If it is agricultural
property he wants, he applies direct.

Come Hogs and Long Ronge Guns
are driving game away. For the war
years the absence of hunters plus
the shortage of shells permitted the
wild things to increase, it they could
fly high or lived in trees. Those that
couldn't have been exterminated, al
most, by foxes. With fox protected
from guns and rabbits and quail shot
and trapped disgracefully it isn't
even a guess as to where hunting
with guns is headed and it won't
take long either.
Sunset Closes Legal Shooting of
ducks. Do the Game Hogs stop then?
Drop down back of Valley Home
after sunset and listen to the fusi-
lade! The shooters couldn't find one
in ten shot down. The result will
surely be to drive them away from
that splendid duck marsh. A duck
is pretty smart bird, he sees and
remembers and he is learning, it
has become so hard task to get a
duck it's hardly worth the labor.
Most Game Hogs have little else to
do. Only a concerted raid by War
dens will stop them.

The owners years ago bought squir-

not shoot there themselves. In the
last few years due to the shortness
of ammunition and other causes
they got good start and moved out
into the town where they may be

the woods have suffered much more
from sneak hunting. Recently a
small boy killed ten squirrels there
Others have slipped in, hung around
the den trees where the baby squir-
rels, not yet knowing the bloody

victims of the guns, When these boys
see someone approaching to ask
them not to shoot in those woods
they run away thus showing what
sort they are. The owners of that
wood once invited the people at

trees: cut down muscadine vines
