Two Softball Tilts
Scheduled Tonight
Women’s Teams Will Meet
For Fifth Game of
Year.
Two softball games are sched
uled tonight for the fans of the
Covington area. The first game,
starting at eight o’clock, will
feature the fairer sex of Coving
ton in what should be one of the
season s outstanding tilts. A team
of the married women of the City
will meet a team made up en
tirely of single girls.
These two teams were organized
several weeks ago. To date they
have played a total of four gams.
Three of the battles went to the
young girls with the matrons get
ting only one win. However, the
married women are determined to
place this game in their win
column.
The younger girls however, are
equally anxious to take the game
and bring their total for the sea
son up to four wins out of five
starts. Interest on the part of the
players is at a high pitch and this
game should prove to be the out
standing tilt of the season among
the games played by the Coving
ton ladies.
The second game will be the
regularly staged game betweep the
Rotary Club and the Consolidated
team Both of these teams have
played first rate softball for the
P ast few weeks and these teams
undoubtedly prove of great
interest to local fans,
With the end of the summer
months, softball in Covington is
being brought to a successful close.

Fine Red Cross
Knitting Class
The Red Cross of Newton
county, under the able leadership
of Col. Abe Loyd, is doing a mar
velous work. Many have contrib
uted to this fund for aid to the
British. Many can contribute
more, so let us not lose an op
portunity to give unselfishly, or
to “share” what God has given us
with that war torn nation.
The ladies of Newton county
have come to the‘aid of the Red
Cross in a manner which makes
Newton County proud of them.
It will be remembered that dur
ing the War Between the States,
Newton County’s own women met
train loads of wounded soldiers
at midnight and cared for their
wounds . . . cloth was scarce , . .
and it was a Newton County girl
who went into the beautifully
made-up hope chest and took out
dainty garments and tore them
into bandages for the soldiers who
had fallen on the battlefield. To
day, women of Newton county are
no less loyal . . . The quota for
Newton county Red Cross work
ers is 25 children’s dresses; 5
ladies dresses; 20 layettes; 6 boys’
shirts; 20 bed shirts; 5 men's
sweaters; 10 women’s sweaters;
10 black-out shawls; 6 pairs men’s
socks; 6 beanie caps.
There is a regular class of 20
women who knit and sew now for
At a recent meeting of the Brick
store Woman’s Club, the women
responded in a beautiful manner.
They are always famous for do
ing more than their part and voted
unanimously to help with this
work. They took for their part
the making of one each of the
sewn garments; 1 layette; 2 men’s
knitted sweaters; one to be made
by Mrs. Grady Adams and one by
Mrs. Paul Dyer. Mrs. Claude
Adams and Mrs. Pace are knitting
socks. And, they not only prom
ised this, but if the women else
where did not meet the quota,
they offered to do additional
work. From every section of old
Newton the women are respond
ing. Mrs- W. C. Speer, Jr., who
teaches handicraft, has volunteer
ed to teach knitting in her classes
at school. She has already se
cured thread and directions and
is making a man's sweater. Mrs.
Wavy Gibson is making a girl’s
dress; Mrs. H. A. Casey a wo
man’s dress; Mrs. W. C. Spivey
and Mrs. Polly Haralson are mak
ing girl’s dresses, and this is men
tioning only a few who responded
Miss Ross is doing a wonderful
work throughout the county
Mrs. L. D. Bolton has kindly con
sented to go with Miss Ross to the
various clubs, when she is needed
to instruct in knitting and serve
where needed. Mrs. I. H. Rain
water has graciously offered to
assist in any way possible with
the sewing room, which we trust
we will soon have in Covington
where the work may be carried on
in a larger scale.
So, again we say, if you knit
crochet or sew, now is your op
portunity to do your bit for suf
fering humanity ... if you do not
crochet or sew, now is your op
portunity to learn, and lend your
assistance in this crisis.
The Knitting Circle will meet
with Mrs. J- C. Upshaw this
(Thursday) afternoon at 3:30
o’clock. Come and do your part!
Gossard Expert
At Cohen's Store
Mrs- Nan Broadnax. Gossard’s
expert on figure analysis, will be
in Covington one >iy only at the
W. Cohen Company on Monday.
September 16th. The public is
invited to visit Cohen's and see
Mrs. Broadnax.
Under average condition, the
early molters, which are usually
the poor layers, will come back
into production at about the same
time as the late molters

seed must be used per acre. The
next requqirement is that the
seed must be inoculated. This
inoculation is very easily killed
by exposure to light. The seed
should be moistened and then
the inoculation spread over the
seed and thoroughly stirred so
that some of the inoculation will
cling to each Seed- Then they
should be sacked and kept in the
shade and well covered. The
planter should have a cover over
the seed to keep the seed shaded
while planting. The next re
quirement is that the seed must be
planted on land which was ferti
lized this year with a fertilizer
containing a high percentage of
phosphorous or gt least 200 pounds
of Acid Phosphate or 400 pound-'
of Basic Slag applied at seeding
time. This means that the seed
must be planted on cotton land
or Acid or Slag must be used.
The Acid Phosphate will kill the
inoculation so that it must be
olaced well under the seed to
keep the inoculated seed from
coming in contact with the Acid
Be sure to follow these instruc
tions so that the A 4A will pay

NUMBER 36
Letter To Old
Man Folks
To The Ten-cent Store Girl
One day I dreamed you had re
tired
And built a castle on a hill,
That all the longings you’d ad
mired
Were srtewn about you, quiet and
still;
That you were rich, a sort of
Queen,
With servants by the hundred
fold;
That you were fat, not qquite so
lean,
That you would nevermore grow
old.
I dreamed and dreamed, some
times I think
I surely must have been asleep,
My mind was toddling on a brink
That let me see into the deep;
I saw your servants at your door,
I saw your piles and piles of gold:
I saw you as you were before
This'silly dream was ever told.
Then I awbke I think I did—
And rode my grey hoss in to town,
And there I spotted you amid
Us peoples just a lookin’ roun’,
You asked me what I’d have to
day—
You were selling trinklets as be
fore,
I saw you then in your own way,
A working in a Ten-cent Store.
Dear Old Man Folks:
We love folks who can make us
remember, and how wonderful
are those who can make us for
get, It is hard to tell which of the
two we love best; we love to for
get as much as we love to remem
ber. But if we will but remember
more than we do, we will love
many more people than we think
we love.
If there is anything more inter
esting than an interested listener
I have never ben abl to see it.
In all srenity the garden gate is
open, the eyes are centered on dis
tant stars of inspiration, and the
heart is drinking in food for the
hungry soul. We shouldn’t become
discouraged if we can’t talk a lot.
Too many of us talk way ahead
of ourselves- That counts for so
much babbling.
It is said that if we are inter
ested then we are interesting, and
I think there is a lot of truth in
it. It is when we see nothing, feel
nothing an dthink nothing that we
become lost to the world, We
can become lost from ourselves if
away. It is then that we feel we
ve are mind to sleep our days
have no place in the world. Life
does not mean for us to be still
had it meant so we would have
been born dead—turned directly
into a mummy and then what. It
is better to do something if it’s a
little wrong, than nothing, which
is less than nothing.
NATIONAL FOREST RECEIPTS
Cash receipts from national for
ests totaled $5,859,183.87 in the
1940 fiscal year, the Forest Ser
vice of the U. S. Department of
Agriculture announced this week.
This amount covers returns from
the sale of timber grazing fees,
and other uses of the national for
ests under the multiple use and
yield system of forest
administration during the year
The 1940 receipts are almost a
million dollars above the $4,870,-
516 total for the fiscal 1939. For
est Service officials said that the
bulk of the 1940 receipts—$3,9443
022—were from timber and forest
products sales, thousands of such
sales being made to farmers and
small timber operators in amounts
of less than $500.
Only the very best layers, those
that have had the persistency to
continue laying right on through
the summer should be carried
over the second year.
