11E. ODUM TESTS
NEWTON’S JERSEYS
THIS GIYES AN OPPORTUNI¬
TY FOR LOCAL ENTHUSIASTS
TO TEST RICHNESS OF
THEIR COWS.
In view of the fact that a number
>f cows in and near Covington will
>e put on authenticated register of
nerit by The Amercan Jersey Cattle
'luh through the co-operation of the
leorgia State College of Agriculture,
t has been suggested that quite a few
if the Jerseys around Covington lie
civen the opportunity to become tested.
These official tests may he made for
\ year, for 30 days, or for seven days;
>r individual tests of single milkings
nay he made to ascertain the amount
of butter fat contained.
The cost of such work is small and
tdds much to the value of the cow and
xlso shows to the owner which cow
s profitable and which is not. It lias
wen been suggested that Covington
'orm a cow testing association, and
nich a movement would he of interest
is well as profit to the county..
It is probable that Mr. James E.
>dum will he the representative of
he eluti and college to do this work
md in that case he would gladly co¬
operate with any breeders who are
interested.
The first visit will ho made April
Stli and two or three Jerseys will be
put on official test. After that others
can enter at any time. Newton coun¬
ty .has long been known as a leader
md it is hoped that it will he the
irst to begin these official tests.

CALL TO COVINGTON

terian Ccliureh That He Will Move
Here April the 18th.
The Rev. .T. B. Fieklen has accepted
the call of the Covington and Hayston
Presbyterian churches to serve them as
pastor.
He has so notified the committee
here, which had been appointed by
the church to prosecute the call to
Mr. Fieklen.
lie will move to Coviugton on the
lsfli day of April. The church is mak¬
ing preparations for receiving him.
The manse is being repaired and put
in splendid condition for his home.
The church is fortunate in secur¬
ing such a pastor and the city is for¬
tunate in securing such a family as
residents.
Mr. Fieklen embodies in the prac¬
tice of his life all the highest attributes
which characterize the true Virginia
gentleman, and that is as high a
tribute as we could pay a man. And
he is a militant soldier of the Cross,
who knows his cause and maintains
it from the pulpit with ]K>wcr of prom
ised Presence and utterance made
ready and convincing by a thorough
knowledge and rare understanding of
the Scriptures.
And his family also is known as an
unusually attractive one, who will he
a welcome addition to our city's social
and religious life.
SUNDAY WAS CHILDREN'S DAY
AT PRESBYTERIAN CHURCIi
At the Presbyterian church here
Sunday there was a special service at
the regular morning preaching hour.
It was children's day for home mis
sinus. And children of all ages par
ticipated ... in the exercises.
The little ones gave recitations and
songs. There was the song, l>y the
very youngest “Little Helpers.”
Then tlic older children produced a
beautiful pageant, vividly reminding us
of our duty to the foreigners of the
many races within our own land.
MBs Ruth Cowan gave a charming
reading on the line of home missions.
The music and songs were inspiring
and in line with the subject for the
day.

Lunsford for Music.
The Covington High School held its
contest to select representatives for
the meeting at Monroe in May on Fri¬
day evening at the school auditorium.
The judges were all out of town i»eo
ple.
After a splendid contest, the follow¬
ing were selected; For recitation,
.Miss Josephine Franklin, and Miss
Pauline Gaither, alternate. For music,
Miss Fletcher Lou Lunsford, Miss Is
lah Mai Hopkins, alternate. For dec¬
lamation. Mr. Chas. White, and Mr.
Brooks Pennington, alternate.
These did splendidly Friday evening
and will no doubt make an excellent
showing at Monroe and make Coving¬
ton doubly proud of them.
But they were not all who did well.
We were informed by Professor Robert¬
son, when lie announced the winners
of places, that the judges considered
them all so creditable that they had
difficulty in reaching a decision.
Now let dll Covington encourage
these, our representatives, and cheer
them on to victory at Monroe in May.

HELPS WORLD'S PEACE
THE LYRIC THEATRE WILL PRE¬
SENT “THE ADVENTURES OF
A BOY SCOUT” TO¬
MORROW.
The war in Europe would not have
broken out last August if the Boy
Scout movement had been in existence
45 years ago—immediately after the
France-Prussian War.
Boy Scouts are practicing and living
a brotherhood which knows no bounds
of country or continent. The fourth
Scout Law is “a Scout is friendly. He
is a friend to all and a brother to
every other Scout.” If every boy in
the world would become a Boy Scout:
and keep up the brotherhood idea
through manhood there would be no
more wars. The men of the world
would he leagued together, against
war. To-day a Boy Scout of England
lias been known, since the present war
began, to refer to a German Scout as
a “brother Scout.”
The Lyric will present the five
part photo-play, “The Adventures of a
Boy Scout” to-morrow, (Friday.) The
film illustrates the practical side of the
movement, showing what the Boy
Scout has to do from day to day, in his
work of making a man of himself by
the “good-turn" way, the care of his
mind and body, his ethics and morals.
There is a human interest side of
the picture revolving around the ad¬
ventures of Tom Slade, a young tough,
who is rescued from infamy by the
influence of the Boy Scout movement.
Tom’s father gets into the bad graces
of the Temple’s, rich landowners near
where the scouts encamp. Tom be¬
haves well in many trying circum¬
stances, but young Temple shows him¬
self in the aspect of a “sissy boy” i. e.
he is effeminate, resourceless, timid.
Also, it is clear that Mr. Temple him¬
self is antagonistic to the Scout move¬
ment.
The regeneration of young Temple,
and the conversion of his father, are
effected by the force of example—the
boy, mainly by the influence of Tom,
the Temples by the heroism of the
Scouts in trying circumstances.
Tom in the picture is a good actor—
so good that he stands out in the most
dramatic manner. The good fellow from
the tough is clearly but concisely
shown. “Concisely’ is the word here
—there is nothing sickly about Tom;
lie is a good “tough” and when he de¬
cided to become a good fellow by the
Scout route, he is again thorough and
manly, in a decisive w r ay.
He makes a lapse—a step backward,
finding a pocket knife he keeps it, in¬
stead of returning it to the camp com¬
mandant. He is suspected of the mis¬
deed ; denies it; is made unhappy and
finally confesses. Then he makes rep¬
aration; is forgiven and restored to
grace. The incident is one of the most
touching and dramatic in the film—it
shows the tremendous value the Boy
Scouts’ organization possesses in the
upbuilding of character. And Tom is
not only brave, but physically brave
in his new environment.
All military routine of Scout work
is graphically shown, step by step, In
the picture, which has received the en¬
dorsement of Mr. Roosevelt, Mr. Pin
chot, Judge Ben B. Lindsay and very'
many other prominent publicists. The
Boy Scout movement, moreover, has its
own propaganda, press, officials and
complete organization. It will, of
course, find a magnificent ally in the
motion picture theatre, by the agency
of the release of the picture.
This is a teachy, but not preachy
picture; it doesn’t bore you; it in¬
terests and absorbs you; because its
theme is manly, virilizing, and making
for the betterment of the human race.
Buy your ticket from a Scout. The
picture will be shown to-morrow after¬
noon and night, beginning at 2:30
o clock, at The Lyric in Covington.
