nEUNION between husband and
wife took place recently. which
~ was reunion extraordinary, even
in a war-torn world where separations
Aare the order of the day.
The woman is the Dame OF Sark,
hereditary ruler of one OF the little
Channel Islands in private life Mrs.
Sibyl Hathaway the English wife of
an American born husband, Robert
Woodward Hathaway, who, over
long period, was inteTncd in a Ger

Seigneury, Sark, Channel Islands
During her husbands detention as
prisoner OF war. Mrs. Hathaway, or
Dame OF Sark. held the island alone
during the entire period of its occupa-
ton by the Germans and held ii
triumphantly.
Great, however, was the rejoicing
on Sark, when the popular Dame and
her husband were reunited. Their
joint reign over this Isle, which has a
government dating back 10 the Middle
Ages, came about in modern manner.
When the present Dame of Sark, a
vigorous handsome English woman
was a Mrs. Beaumont, she and Hatha-
way, who was then living in London.
met AT a party and fell in love. They
were married in 1929. when he too
went TO Sark, TO become as popular
there as his wife.

side and keep her company.
On this island where automobiles
are not countenanced, none other than
the Seigneur himself was once fined
for running a motor tractor, allowed
only In the fields, along the open
roads of Sark
Neither has the Dame of Sark
failed to do her share toward the
social liberation of her own sex. Ac-
cording to the law, Sark farms be-
long to the husbands as TO two-thirds
and to the wives as To one-third. So
do the women enjoy minimum wage
of 30 shillings a week, no mean min
imum as SSark standards go. And
apparently as liberal lie Seigneur
standards go.
Obviously a degree of equality.
liberty and a greater good for the
greater number has been achieved by
this modern lady who rules with
gloved, feudal hand.

them all the way and
they left me my turis-
diction. But they mined
the place all over, and 49,
we feared that they
would not surrender
and that we should
have to suffer the destruc-
ton of war. But il did not
happen. when liberation
came, the Germans were
handed over to me to deal
with as best l could"
So today, this lady of
Sark so happily reunited
with her liberated husband rules not
only her own willing people, but a
foreign army. Her handling of men
is coolly logical. The German soldiers
on Sark soil are facing the dangers
of removing the mines they laid.
Dame of Sark and lie Seigneur live
in beautiful Seigneury, built in
1852, the entrance guarded by two
cannon of the 18th century. but it is
fair to assume that the plumbing is
modern and the household con-
veniences time-saving.
Absolute monarch though she be,
there is a Charter of Independence of
the Isle of Sark, and the Dame lives
up to il. With practically unlimited
power in the palm of her hand, she
deals out justice fairly and squarely.

On USS Guskuskiu

Walter Longstreet, seaman seconc
class, Lexington, Miss. and Other
Navy men who served on the flee
oiler USS Kaskaskia helped take
that ship approximately 27l,0O,
miles during the Pacific campaign
to keep the u. S. Fleet supplied with
essential fuel. revised Navy records
on the ship have disclosed.
The Kaskasika serviced 900 ships
pouring 210,585, 346 gallons of fuel
INTO the thirsty fighting ships.
Crewmen of the oiler regarded
her as a lucky ship, since she was
caught several times in enemy ali
but came through unchanged.
The vessel took part in almost every
important operation or strike of the
Pacific Fleet, and often entered har-
Dor under attack on the day our
forces landed and while there still
plenty of enemy opposition.

County Agents Notes

City folks and farmers are get
ting closer together these days. The
reason behind this movement is side
meat. In some social circles of the
delta, it might be gatherings, but
in Holmes county, it is side meat.
Farmers with a few shoats will
certainly have IN opportunity this
fall and winter to make some extra
cash by selling their surplus hogs or
surplus meat. Every caution should
be used in keeping these pigs
thrifty. Give them an ample supply
of protein, tankage, if you can get
it, and soybean meal. OF course,
corn is a standard hog feed, but you
need proteins with the corn to get
best results. Don't forget to keep the
lice off of the hogs and the worms
out Of them. Burnt oil will keep the
lice off, but possibly a nicer way
today is with the use Of DOT.
Worms can be treated with capsules
especially prepared. for that purpose.

Pfc james Cunningham
Praised By Colonel
DuBose In Okla.

Okinawa--Pfc. James E. Cunning
ham of Lexington, Miss, has been
highly praised by Col. Thomas j.
DuBose, Commanding Officer of a
BIG (Super Fortress) unit attached
to the Eighth Air Force, for his work
during the after the severely destruc-
tive typhoon which struck Okinawa
October 10.
ut was due to the extreme efforts
of Pfc. Cunningham and others of
this Wing that property losses were
held to a minimum, Col. DuBose
said. "His work, and that of his fell
lows, during and after the typhoon
undoubtedly saved our men from
serious injury or worse and saved
thousands of dollars of government
money. l cannot commend them too
highly.
While property damage, despite
the efforts of the men, was high none
of the Wing personnel received more
than minor injuries. Order has been
restored to the units offices, and
living quarters have been construct
ed in highly improved form follow
ing the storm which was one of the
most severe ever recorded in this
region.
During the approximately "a
hours the typhoon was at its height
on Okinawa winds of more than IS
miles per hour were recorded, be-
fore the recording machinery blew
down, while ~velocities of up to 135
miles were reported unofficially.
More than four inches of rain fell
during the same period in the Wing
area.

at least it has done so in south Mis-
sissippi and Louisiana. If you are
interested in a few hundred stalks
of this new variety of cane, I sug-
gest that you get in touch with Mr..
Branch at once. You can call him
over your telephone.
Many of our hill farmers have suf-
ficient labor to handle an acre Of
sugarcane every year. This much
cane, if taken care of, will produce
from four to five hundred gallons
of syrup, which would mean a profit
of $4,000 or better, figuring a dol
lar per gallon.
This sugarcane should be cut in
the next few days and either plant
ed or put away at ono for spring
planting.

Now is the time for you to take
care of your fruit trees. The trees
should be treated for the borer at
this time. You can do this by using
Paradichlorobenzine, or still better,
Ethlene Dichloride. The latter is a
solution that is very effective and
may be sprayed around the base of
the tree. 1t is more efficient than
the Paradichlorobenzine You can
put it on with your fit gun.
This is the proper season of the
year to prune your trees. Pruning is
nothing more or less than starting
the trees off so that they will have
the desired shape and strength.
Spraying and gathering the fruit is
an easier job if the trees are pruned
so that they will not grow too tall
or the limbs break off so badly.
Spray during the next month or
two to control San Jose scale. A gal
lon of oil emulsion as you buy il
from the store mixed with 20 gal
Ions of water will do the job. If you
do not have a spray pump, buy one,
You can not take care of your trees
without this piece of equipment.
People who wish to plant a few
trees to replace the defective ones,
or to start a new orchard, should
get in touch with my office. Re-
member we do not have to charge
double prices as do the fruit tree
agents, since we do not have to have
travelling and lodging expenses. W.
do not have pictures of beautiful
fruit, but we can buy the best quail
ity trees on the market and they
will produce the beautiful fruit.
Sweet potatoes should be harvest
ed now. Thousands of bushels OF
sweet potatoes r lost every year
because they are not harvested
when they should be.
When you have harvested your
potatoes, do not pile them up in
large piles. They will get hot and
ruin. Permit them to dry out for a
week or two before storing for the
winter. Remember they will freeze if
they + not proteced sufficiently
from the cold. Ten bushels of sweet
potatoes today are worthy anywhere
from $4,000 to $4,000, if purchased al
the grocery store. So take are OF
them.
