WASHINGTON, June r.
w There was nothing acct
dental about the recent furry of
public appearances and speeches
of Herbert Hoover. They we're all
carefully arranged and timed.
Sources close to the former Re
publican President say that from
now on he can be expected to per-
form in the limelight with increas-
ing frequency and forcefulnesS.
Mr.. Hoover, they declare, has
decided to re-enter public life.
Whether this means he has his
cap set for another shot at the
presidency, his friends are I'M
able to say. They do, hovever
relate this significant story:
In the original manuscript of
HooVer's book, published last year,
there was a statement that he
was not a candidate for the 1886
nomination.
But on the advice of Ogden L.
Mills, Secretary of the Treasury
in his Cabinet, and several other
close political advisers, Mr.. Hoo
yer eliminated the declaration.
It never appeared in the pub
liShed volume.

Kid Martin Knocks
Wildcat Patton Out
Clark Loses Close Fight to Bell by
Decision; Griggs and Davis
X. o. Their Men

More than 500 fight fans witnessed
the best card Of fights ever put on
in the West Jefferson High School
gymnasium on the night of July 4th.
Kid Martin, skilled and hard-hitting
fighter of West Virginia, won over
Wildcat Patton, of Pilot Mountain, by
a knockout in the seventh round. Kid
outclassed Wheat by a wide margin
and it looked as if he could have
finished him at any time after the
first round.
The most thrilling and best fight
of the evening was between Buster
Bell, of West Virginia, and Garnet
Clark, of Lansing. Both boys put up
a great fight during their four rounds
in the arena. The decision was given
to Bell. Many spectators thought that
Clark should have been at least given
a draw.
Beau Griggs, of Jefferson, finished
his opponent, Harpe, of Brooks Cross
Roads, in the second round. Peck
Davis, of Lansing, won over John
Petty by a k. o. in the second round.
The Wayne Taylor VS.. John Mac
Pennington bout was called a draw.
This fight card was sponsored by

MILK PRODUCTION LOWERED
BECAUSE OF HEAT AND FLIES
State Farm Department Gives Pro-
cedure of Kidding Cows of
These AnnOyances

College Station, Raleigh, July T.
The annoyance from heat and flies
will reduce the milk production of
dairy cows in summer.
To keep flies away from the cows,
says John Arey, extension dairy spe-
cialist at State college, get rid of
their breeding places.
All stalls and manure pits should
be cleaned at least once week. When
practical, it is best to haul the man.
ure directly from the cow barn to the
fields, he stated.
Litter OF garbage should not be al
lowed to accumulate, since this ma
terial affords the flies a good breed
ing place. It will take only a little
trouble to keep the premises clean
and sanitary.
But sanitation of the barns and the
premises will not keep away all the
flies, Arey continued. For those
which will breed in spite of all that
can be done to prevent them, Arey
recommend traps and sprays.
There are a number of good COM
mercial sprays now on the market
which. when sprayed on the animals,
will protect them from flies for sew
eral hours, Arey stated.
He also pointed. out that pastures
sometimes get rather dry in July and
the grass is short and tough. At this
time it will pay the farmer or dairv-
man to see that his stock has ample
water and temporary grazing crops
to supplement the regular pasture.
Without temporary grazing crops.
he observed, the animals should be
fed silage and an increased quantity
of grain in order to maintain the milk
flow.
