HOPKINS WAR
BONO SALES IN
AUGUST S71.771
Hopkins County’s quota in bond
sales for August Is 070,600, ac-
cording to Charles Ashcroft, bond
sale chairman, who reports that
the county is lagging in the sale
of stamps and bonds thus far in
the month.
Mr. Ashcroft reports the sale to
date is $17,771.20.
According to Mr. Ashcroft,
State Chairman Frank Scofield
says the sales for the first hall
of August in Hopkins County in-
dicate a very discouraging figure
as compared to amount needed to
meet August quota. He states I
am sure you do not want you*
county to go on record before the
'Treasury Department as hnving
failed to do its part 100 percent
in this war program. This war is
ours as well as the armed forces
of our country and if cither of us
forsake our post of duty, our
cause is lost.”

LEEWRIGHT VADEN
CLAIMS RECORD
RAISING PIGS
Leewright Vaden, 15-year-old
son of Mr. and Mrs. Roy Vaden,
residing North of Sulphur Springs,
on the Cooper Highway, is rapid-
ly establishing himself as the
champion pig raiser of Hopkins
County. And, in fact, he is mak-
ing a record that will go a long
way toward State honors.
Monday night one of his regis-
tered Duroc Jersey sows brought
a litter of 1C pigs, all of which
were normal—no runts. Her last
litter was 14 pigs, making a total
of 30 pigs this one sow has
brought since the 19th of Febru-
ary of this year. Of course we
don’t know what the record is for
number of pigs brought in this
length of time but that is certain-
ly a Hot of pigs from one sow, and
goes to prove the value of good
stock.
" LeewTtght is naturally highly
enthused over his success in rais-
ing pigs, and is taking advantage
of his good luck to better himself
financially, as well as help his
country. Out of the firSt litter of
pigs he purchased a War Bond,
and he is already planning to huv
another from the sale of pigs from
this last litter.

Sea Battle Rages
(By Aaaociated Preaa)

been attacked by U. S. Army flying fortresses and our
carrier-based naval aircraft are in action.”
While Hit1 course of the battle could not be judged in
absence of information about damage to the American
craft, preliminary estimates here were that the Japanese
are being hit hard where it hurts worst—aircraft carrier
st rength.

nounced that the Japanese had counter-attacked Ameri-

The battle started August 23 and already Army and
Navy carrier-based planes have effectively bombed two
Japanese carriers, a battleship, a transport and several
cruisers.
The main action, the Navy communique indicated,
was still in progress.

sibly from Truk Island in the Caroline group, a thousand
miles from the Solomons.
