Mrs. Holland's engagement ring on her left forefinger, is a West Point graduation ring, the setting designed by her husband. After the Colonel became ill about 7 years ago, he was hospitalized, finally partially recovered and, though not yet to retirement age, was retired with a physical disability.Before he was stricken ill, the active tall strong man had never been ill in his life and was planning another overseas assignment. It is not surprising that such a former active man east about for something to work with and returned to something he enjoyed as a youth.He then took art four years at Trinity University and also from accomplished private tea chers in San Antonio where the Hollands, having often been stationed there, bought a home and settled in the town that seemed much like home, andwhere they have many friendsj from the Army who have also chosen San Antonio as then permanent homes. The quiet, still rather young-looking man listens and observes mostly, be coming talkative only when the subject gets around to the Army or some place it has taken him-or to art. So, it is, after more than a 30-year military career, j which he loved, he has found j another niche for himself The second day of exhibit waswell attended and among those who registered were the following artists: Mrs. J.

These mites are about l-25th inch in size and are a slate-bluish color with characteristic bright orange legs.Heavy infested fields of small grain will take on a whitish-sil-| very color because the winter grain mites suck out the ehloro-pyl from the small grain leaves : Control for the grain mite may be attained by using one pint of Ethyl Parathion in about four gallons of water sprayed on per, acre. A straight boon, with spray nozzles spaced every 20 inches with which many of the cotonsprayers are equipped, is satisfactory for applying insecticide control for the grain mite.Small grain should not be grazed for 15 days following the application of tins insecticide Farmers are asked to be sure that grain mites are present in medium to heavy infestation be fore insecticide application rs considered, because mans of the fields without mites also look bad at present because of nitrogen deficiency and leaf rust brought on by so much rain anddamp weather.ntidSilcRAUhiJ(IsJ1PIMtil111leJ«hiblt;Viehdr■ATTEND MARKET AND SHOWMrs. Vera Tolar, Mrs. WalterWilliams, Mrs. Mary Pool and Mrs Lois Williams attended the Style Show presented in the Crystal Ball Room of the Bakei Hotel as a feature of the South west Market, held m Dallas.(IISTomlinson of old V* uxahachie Road.The two das one man s h o w was sponsored by the local American Legion \uviliary.m'mS.aui bo: r u*eh: tin Bn (uLEITER Ml200 SOUTHDRESSFINAL PRICE REDUCT!DRESSESPrices are drasticalLarge assortment ofSaturday, Jan8 A.M.
