ELDER COOKE ACCEPTS CALL

Elder w. C. Cooke, of Tracey
City, Tenn, has accepted the call to
che pastorate of the local Christian
church, which was extended to him
by vote Of the congregation several
weeks ago. He viii come to Coving
ton and enter upon his duties as pas
tor November /, next.
Elder Cooke is a young man, an
able pastor and gifted speaker. He
visited Covington a few weeks ago
BY invitation of the church officials
and made a very favorable impression
on the congregation when he preached
to them.
The Christian church here has been
without the leadership of pastor for
sone time, though regular services
are held twice a week-Sundays and
Wednesdays. During the past several
months the membership Of the church
has shown an increase. which is
probably the result of successful
protracted meeting conducted by
Elder A. B. Barrett last spring.
Many members of the church are
elated over the fact that Elder Cooke
accepted their call and only regret
that he can not report sooner to
take over the passionate.

Work On Mosquito
Eradication In Citg

Progress is being made on the
malaria control work which was
started about two weeks ago. Town
creek has been cleared Of brush
weeds and trees along its banks from
its point Of entrance to the dredge
ditch to the well above Liberty street
The channel has been worked over Ia
the extent Of removing the worst
bends and all the drifts and high
places in the bottom Just south OF
Liberty street the creek divides, one
branch leading past the water plant
and eventually to the Memphis road
The other branch leads west and ther
south to beyond the cemetery. Each

out and cleared
The oiling equipment arrived ana

of four parts Of coal oil and one part
of heavy black oil is used 1t is
coal OH which does the work by form
mo a film over the surface of the
water, through which the wiggle
tails can not breathe The black oil
is used merely to give a color to the
coal oil for the purpose of enabling the
oiler to know more easily how much
he is getting on the water. This
tends to cut down waste, as only
enough oil is necessary to produce q
continuous film. Since the oil useC

it is mostly in such water that the

mentioned containers in your back
yard you may expect to be called out
by the inspector and shown the wig

to find and eliminate every mosquito
breeding place in Covington, and
every resident can help. Spend 10
minutes a week in your back yard
looking for mosquito breeding places.
1t is worth that amount Of time in
the interest of more comfort at night.

Dr. SomnerUMe In
ReUiUaI Meeting

The meeting at the First Presby-
terian church began Tuesday even
ing at 3 o'clock, when DIR. Sommer-
vile preached the first sermon. Those
who heard him were delighted with
the evening sermon, and possibly
even more so with the second address
at the morning service.
The opening sermon was preached
from Psalms eighty five, verse six:
"Wilt Thou not revive us again,
that Thy people may rejoice in
Thee?" And the sermon was par
ticularl appropriate to the occasion,
He said in part:
"This prayer is request. A re-
quest is more likely to be granted if
the one who asks it is mindful of ia
vors already granted. SO there is here
look at the past and mention of
goodness already shown. There is a
look at the present and request
for great favor now. Do we need
such a one? Tennessee, for instance,
who has reason to be proud of her
past, has yet slept on her rights re-
llgiously. She might have been an
out-and-out Christian state. But what
is the actual condition? About three
out of four people in this state are
not Christian, even nOminally. And
there is look at the future, What
does such condition of affairs
mean? Why does Babson, whose
lightest word in statistics is heard
around the world, say that we must
get back to religious ideals and .prac-
tees in life? Why does he fearlessly
remind Americans that we need the
observance of the Sabbath, church
attendance, prayer meeting attend
ance and religious training in the
homes? His outlook is that of the
business man. He sees that if these
one-time practices of America are
abandoned the cardinal rock-ribbed
virtues that have made our nation
what it is will be undermined and
their vital springs poisoned. From
only a business standpoint a far
sighted man sees these things; from
a spiritual viewpoint no man dares toI
prophesy what will come unless there
is a revival of true religion in the
hearts and lives of the people. Lloyd
George, in England, said to body Of
churchmen last week that the world
was headed fora crash again and this
time for one beside which the last
war would be a plaything. Only the
churches could hope TO stop it, and if
they did not do so they might as well
close up shop. Then we can see why
a quickening Of religion is imperative
today"
At the morning services DR.. Som
-nervilla is using themes drawn from
the Old Testament. In the period Of

CRAIG SPEAKS HERE

Hon. W. w. Craig, candidate for
the Democratic nomination for Con-
gress from the Ninth district, pre-
sented his claim fer nomination to
the voters Of Upton county here Sat
urday afternoon to a crowd estimated
at about 700 people. Mr.. Craig was
scheduled to speak here at $3.50, but
on account of car trouble he was de-
layed on the road and did not begin
his speech until 4:45. The crowd
shat had gathered took the delay with
good hunior
Mr.. Craig's speech was practically
the same that he has delivered at
other places during the campaign. He
attacked his opponent on his long
tenure of office, and declared that he
believed in rotation in office. Mr..
Craig also paid his respects to the
Nashville Banner.
Mr.. Craig's speech was given a
careful hearing and he was applauded
at intervals.
Mr.. Craig was gracefully introduced
by Hon. c. B. MeClelland, prominent
attorney of this place.
Mr. Craig spoke to fair sized
crowds in the interest of his nomina-
ton at Brighton and Munford in the
afternoon at / o'clock, and he finished
his campaign speaking in Upton
county Saturday night, when he spoke
at Garland.

Many Are HaDing
Children Examined

With an unprecedented number of
$50 children examined in two weeks
the Child Welfare Special is continu-
ing it's splendid work of examining
children Of pro-schOol age in this
county.
Last week the truck visited Ran
dolph, Gilt Edge and Detroit and also
spent two days in Covington at the
Grammar School and the colored
school Detroit has so far led all
other communities in children exam
ined, with a total of As for one day.
DIR. Margaret Koenig, in charge of
the truck, stated that there were very
fine children in the county. The
greatest trouble has been that of NAL
nutrition due, not to lack of suf-
ficient food, but to a lack of well
balanced diet. She suggested that
more green vegetables and milk be
given children, and that coffee, Coca
Cola and diet entirely of meat and
starches be excluded. She added that
it was also important to have diseased
tonsils and adenoids removed, that
the children might grow properly.
The personnel of the special is also
very much pleased over the welcome
they have received in all communities
visited, and with the number of ply
sicians and other prominent citizens
that visit the truck at all Of its stops
This evidence Of interest bespeaks
good results as an outcome Of the
examinations.
Next week viii be busy one, with
a day to be spent at the reunion at
Brighton. The schedule includes:
Leigh's Chapel, Monday, August Z.
Atoka, Tuesday, August 8.
Clopton, Wednesday, August 9.
Brighton. Thursday, August 10.
Rialto, Friday, August II.

sisting of fried fish, bacon, eggs and
other good things, was prepared and

County Agent
Warns Farmers

by County Agent Hollingsworth)
Early in the spring the boil weevIl
made It's appearance in this county
in alarming numbers. The damage
done by the first weevils was com
paratively light The latter part of
July the damage showed marked
decreased. This lull in the working
OF the weevil is caused by the interim
between the death of the old weevil
and the age at which the second
brood begins to work
After thorough inspection Of
many fields the past few days, 4
have found some very badly damaged
fields. In one case, field that naJ
been practically free from weeyils
was damaged go per cent. by the
weevils in four days time. In an
other instnace, a field Of 10 acres
had 40 to 80 per cent. damage in
four days.
The-month Of August is the critical
time, as this is the month when the
weevil makes it flight and is apt to
be found in any field at any time in
damaging numbers.
Watch your cotton closely; pick up
all squares and cultivate as long as
possible. The hot dust mulch made
by frequent cultivation will kill the
grub in the squares.
The shipment Of cream from Upton
county is increasing every week,
many farmers turning to this profit
able sideline. The price is better and
has held at higher average during
the summer months than for many
years, considering the cost of feeds.
The intelligent feeding of the dairy
COW is a very important part Of
dairying. Mr.. U. F. Wylie, of Brigh-
ton, is beginning a feeding demon
stration that should be closely
watched by all interested in dairy
ing. Mr.. Wylie's cows have been
tested for butterfat. The daily pro,
duction has been recorded while on
pasture alone. A balanced ration
will be fed in addition to the pasture
and results reported from time to
time. The actual cost of all feed,
the increase in milk and butterfat
and receipts for same will be aceu-
rately kept.
Mr.. Wylie is feeding seven cows
and is making money, but says ne
wants all there is in it, and if feed
ing is profitable he wants to feed
and feed right.

First Monday, August 7, win be
Trade Day in Covington. All the mer-
chants and business houses who have
participated in Trade Day for the
past several months have been visited
and have promised a special bargain
for Trade Day While the announce
ment of each Of the bargains is not
made for the August Trade Day, it
doesn't mean that the merchants are
going to pass the day by Those Wis
ting C0vington on first Monday will
find real, honest bargains in every
line of business Call on the Trade
Day merchants and ask what they
have. You will find a real bargain.
The trade day idea is good one.
The merchants have offered real in
ducements for trading on this monthly
trade day and those who have visited
Covington on the previous trade DAYS
have found that it pays to shop on
first Monday and to bring to town
what they have to sell
The day is not simply bargain day
for the merchants of COvington. 1t
will be day looked forward to, when
farmers from all over the county
catch the spirit and bring in livestock
and other products of the farm to
trade. Around every farm there are
many items which are of practically
no use to the owner, but which some
one else would be glad to have and
to make use of. Many farmers have
tools, implements and farm machin-
cry that they are not using that their
neiohbor would be glad to have.
Trade Day is an ideal day for ex-
change among farmers. Many trades
and exchanges can be made to the adj
vantage of both parties.
If you have never visited Coyington
on Trade Day, begin this month. It
will be day of profit, as well as
pleasure.
In neighboring counties Trade Day
is the Red Letter DaH" Of the
month, as It will be with Upton cour-
ty when the ueople learn to take adj
vantage of the opportunities offered.
Come to Covington Monday, Aug
ust z, and bring what you have to
sell or exchange and be prepared to
take advantage of the bargains you
will find in every line of business.
Remember, it's not a Covington
trade day, but a day for the Whole ofs
Upton county and every citizen is
urged to take ADVANTAGE Of the OPP
portunities offered on this day.

Today The Democrats Of Tennessee
Will elect a nominee for United States
SENATOR governor, congressman and
representatives to the state legisla-
ture. The primary ballot is exactly
IL inches in length, with list Of 10
candidates.
Political observers throughout the
state freely predict that the heaviest
vote ever cast in a Tennessee primary
election will be polled today In the
rural counties of the state the polls
were open at a. m. and will close at
4 p. m. These will be the first elect
ion returns, as the city precincts of
the state will not close until z p. M.
In Upton county the gubernatorial
race overshadows all others by rea-
son Of Mr. Gwinn's candidacy. II has
been estimated by those familiar with
the situation in this county that Mr..
GWinn will receive at least 80 per
cent. Of the votes cast. He will very
probably receive the largest vote ever
accorded candidate for state office
in Upton county.
Mr.. Gwinn's campaign was CON
Guided in Chattanooga Wednesday
night. During the campaign he has
spoken in all three grand divisions of
the state, and if not nominated, he
will receive a splendid vote all over
The state, especially in West Tennes-
see. His friends and supporters are
confident that h. will carry Shelby
county, according to information
reaching his headquarters here this
morning,
The congressional race in this dis
trict between Hon, Finis J. Garrett
and Senator w. W. Craig has created
a lively interest among the voters of
this county, both sides claiming the
county. 1t is believed by many that
Mr.. Garrett will run stronger in Dis
trict No. !, where a heavy vote will
be polled, and that Mr., Craig has the
edge in the country precincts in the
county
The local fight between Esq GEORGE
n. Ellis and Capt. D. W. Ruffin for
direct representative to the legisla-
ture, and ESQ. Josh J. Miller and Mr.
VIM. McClanahan for floater from
Tipton and Lauderdale counties has
created keen interest on both sides
1t is doubtful as to whom will be
nominated in the race for seats in the
legislature.
Friends Of ESQ. j. r. Wooten, Demo-
cratic nominee for Register, who is
opposed for election by three indie
pendent candidates. claim he will win
bv an overwhelming majority over
the combined vote Of his three COM
petitors.
During the last week Of the guber-
material campaign the friends and sup
nprters of Mr. Gwinn in this county
have carried his cause to the voters
Of West Tennessee, nine counties in
this section havinV been visited in his
behalf. The workers met with en-
thusiastic receptions all along the.
route. The following counties were
covered in part by his friends here;
Shelby, Lauderdale, Dyer, Obion.
Crockett, Gibson. Haywood, Fayette
Hardeman and Madison.
Tuesday night party Of linton
county people attended the speaking
Of Mr. Cwinn in Court SQUARE, Mem
phis. During the day his friends
canvassed the county and part of the
eitv in his interest.
