ALLIED B0MBERS
AID BURMA PUSH

CALCUTTA, Feb. 1s. - @-
American and Birth heavy and
medium bombers of the Eastern
Air Command were thrown INTO the
battle for Mandalay today. Ihey
pounded troop concentrations and
Iupply dumps on the enemy's lana
routes south of Burma's second
city.
The brunt of the ever-groWing Al
lied air attack was delivered at
he Japanese-held villages OF Tabe
and Polaywa, which overnight
nave expanded into major conn.,
munications and supply centers
feeding men and war materials
both north to Mandalay and west
to the Irrawaddy river defense
positions.
Meanwhile, British and Indian
troops in cooperation with units
Of the British and Indian navy
completed the conquest Of Ramree
Island off the Burma west coast,
clearing it of all but a few enemy
stragglers.
These troops inflicted 60O casual
ties on the japanese and now have
gained an island springboard to
launch drives toward the important
mainland seaport of Taungup and
possibly push inland to Prone, a
key road center on the Irrawaddy
$50 miles northwest of Rangoon.
In the final phase of the 26-day
Ramree Island campaign British
ships sank scores of enemy troop
boats seeking safety on the main
land.
While Allied heavy bombers con-
centrated on the Mandalay sector
other formations ranged through
southern Burma and into Thailand,
blasting bridges and airfields. jap
anese airfields at Kaungban, Kun
lon Lewe, Yyinmana and Hello
were hit by 1,0O0-pound bombs.

Occasionally there comes to
light such an amazing record OF
hard work by farm family that
the story should be told. When I
was in Union County the other
week, I was told about the S. B.
BrasWeu family that lives on
medium-sized farm on rural route
3 near Monroe. What the Braswell
family did last year is probably not
more than what was accomplish
ed by many another self-sacrificing
family on other farms in various
parts of the state, but this Union
County family does furnish
sterling example of good manage
ment, determined spirit and patrl-
otto effort to aid the nation in pro-
ducing the food and other farm sup
plies needed in this national
emergency. Tom Broom, Union
farm agent, furnished me with the
definite figures showing how this
family overcame difficulties and
worked long, hard hours to secure
an unusual production. There are
only ITO acres of open or crop land
on the BrasweH Farm. Mr.. Bras
well is 40 years of age and his
good wife is At. They have one
son in the army and three younger
children at home. Of the three
children the oldest is a girl IA
years old and two boys who are
10 and respectively. During 1914
there was one tenant on the place
but he was called into the army
last fall leaving only Mr.. Braswen,
his wife and the three small child
rem to handle the place. These
three children, it should be noted,
attend school nine months of the
year.
With this small force, Mr.. Bras
well, last year, grew II acres OF
wheat that yielded 408 bushels; 20
acres of oats that produced 300
bushels; acres of mixed grain that
produced 200 bushels; 5 acres OF
barley, 125 bushels; and IL acres
OF cotton that produced II bales
with an average weight of 5lo
pounds each. In addition, he grew
| 3 acres of alfalfa, acres of red
clover, and IS acres of lespedeza.
From this lespedeza acreage, he
harvested five acres for hay and
produced $4,000 pounds Of good
seed from the remaining go acres.
The only outside help the Bras
wells had was furnished by the
tenant who aided with the grain and
the lespedeza hay. But he was able
to help only a few days because
he also had acres of cotton and
10 acres of corn.
i In addition to these crops, says
Mr.. Broom, Mrs. Brasweu kept
450 laying hens from which flock
she sold 1868. 90 worth of eggs
and 1902 worth of hen and broilers
for market. She now has 500 hens
which she will keep throughout this
season and more pullets will be
grown to replace the older hens

struck the landing craft. The ship
was fatally stricken with gaping
hole starboard and had to be sent
down later by torpedoes from tine

no casualties in this operation,
three crewmen persisted nine hours
earlier during the attack on the
convoy. japanese bombs explod-
ed a merchant ship loaded with

mel raked the LIST and destroyed

Firms Report Destruction
OF German Transport With
1900 Persons Off Danziq

LONDON, Feb. 10 -RE The
Finnish radio reported tonight the
sinking of the 25,0OO-ton German
liner Wilhelm Gustaff with the loss
of 7,700 persons while she was
evacuating refugees and sailors
from Danzig.
The broadcast did not state how
or when the German ship was sunk.
but said that of the $500 naval
personnel and 5000 refugees
aboard, only 1000 were saved.
The Wilhelm Gustloff, a pass
engerliner before the war, had been
converted into a troop transport.

beets, carrots, cauliflower, broc-
coli, celery, chard, wrinkled gar
den peas, Irish potatoes, radishes.
and turnips should be planted from
three to four weeks before the
average date of the last killing
frost.
Cauliflower and broccoli plants
should have been started earlier in
coldframes so as to be ready for
setting out when the time arrives.
If you have not already started
these you may wish to purchase a
few plants.
The important warm season crops
that the gardener may want to
plant will not stand cool weather
as tomatoes and, therefore, should
be started about two weeks later.

tractive; and he has added about
81, 300 worth of barns for his cattle.

This Mecklenburg farmer is fast
learning to be a better farmer. He
has increased the value and fertility
OF his land and he has built two new
tenant houses so that he can have
a more satisfied labor. He has
found that where his land is kept
in a high state of filth and fertility
that it will pay him for his labor.
He has also found that he can do
better farming by studying his
problems.

 "Of course, Conn hasn't been fighting either, so you can't say he's the same as Tunney was that night" Jack explained further. Gene had seen lot of action coming up to that fight. But Conn's younger than Joe, and should have most of his speed left. Yep, I figure Joe's in for a very tough time. I know how it is I found out-the hard way

 SQUAD RATINGS
Loss 10 BoiIerm akers Knocks Buckeyes Out of
 First Ten for Week
By MURRAY ROSE

NEW YORK, Oct. 23-The col legiate football teams have changed their ratings considerably in the space of one week. This weeks edition of the football poll finds Army still firmly in command at the top of the list, but in the second position, where Navy hither- to has rested practically unopposed, the Irish of Notre Dame are now perched comfortably
 The shellacking Purdue handed Ohio State Saturday dropped the Buckeyes clear out of the first 10 and boosted the Boilermakers into fourth place behind Army, Notre Dame and Navy in the Associated Press weekly collegiate football ratings poll.
 Ohio States 35-13 defeat by Purdue Saturday was the biggest upset of the season. Cecil Isbell fielded a d-charging line that operated magnificently in front of the passing and catching battery of Bob DeMoss and Bill Garfield The Buckeyes didn't even score until the final period as the Boilermakers' front line gave Ohio's star backs, Paul Sarringhaus and Dick Fisher, a rugged afternoon The Buckeyes had run up 12 straight victories over a two-year span until they met Purdue.
 Bernle Blerman's Gophers sur prised a homecoming throng of 56,Oo0 at Minneapolis by taking to the air to wallop Northwestern, 3O-7. With several passers in action, the Gophers completed six of eight heaves for l5l yards and three touchdowns. And with Viv Kul- bitski back in his fullback spot the Gophers also showed plenty of power on the ground, rolling up PIT yards rushing.
 Georgias 32-0 trouncing by Louisiona State was a l m O t as stunning as Ohio States loss. The Bulldogs had Charley Trippi back in action but the Army veteran couldn't move against stubborn Tiger line. L. $. U. had been beaten, 26-7, by Alabama and the Crimson Tides stock rose sharply. On it's own hook, Alabama handed Tennessee it's first defeat Of the campaign by a 25-7 count. Harry Gilmer again was Alabama's big gun as he completed l2 of 70 passes for 15O yards.
 The nations top trio, Army, Navy and Notre Dame, maintained their forward march although Navy took quite a battering and needed the breaks to derail the Engineers from Georgia Tech, 20-6.
 Saint Mary's Gaels stand high among the nations unbeaten and united elevens. The Gaels have won five games, scoring 204 points with cnly 13 scored against them.

BoMBER,s ANGLE

LOS ANGELES, oct g - Will Joe Louis retire if he loses to Billy Conn next June?
 Tt depends" says the Kingpin Heavyweight.
 Tt depends on how I lost. If I lost because I couldn't get in shape or because I got tired, then I'd quit. But if felt my condition was good and was strong, then I'd continue fighting"
 But Louis, here to relax before beginning heavy training, adds that he believes he'll kayo Conn.
 q think he'll lcse his head just like the last time and I'll flatten him."
