"On the floor?" Dan turned

Claire held the electric torch

u. S. Parkway
Will Lead To
Great Smokes

Henderson county is largely an
agricultural community, and it is
rapidly becoming better known as
a farming section of diversified
crops. The fact that farms are of
small acreage and that none of
the larger southern money crops
are known here has caused the
farmers to turn to a number of
crops.
The area is rapidly becoming
more of a trucking section, and
the climate and soil have been
found ideally suited for the grow
ing of practically all truck crops.
The soil in this county for the
most part is loamy and easily
cultivated. 1t holds fertility well
and produces abundantly when
given proper cultivation. There is
an unusual abundance of water.
Poultry raising has been large
ly developed in the county until
there are comparatively few flocks
that are not purebred.
Apple orchards are found in
many parts of the county and new
orchards are being planted each
year. There is probably no more
ideal orchard land to be found in
the south. The attitude of the
orchard men toward improved
practices in orchard culture is
most encouraging.
The county is also ideally suit
ed for the growing of small grain
crops and practically all farmers
are now producing more grain and
hay to be fed to livestock. Ex-
tensive use of legumes has been
noted in the past several years,
and these crops are making fine
hay for livestock as we'll as i'm
proving the fertility and produc-
tivity of the soil.
Natural advantages lend them
selves quite admirably to an in
dustry which is absolutely funda-
mental to health-the production
of milk. Realizing that milk is an
important consideration to visi-
tors-particularly those who seek
to regain health or to mothers
who know the value of good milk
to their children's diet-local
dairymen have constantly kept
milk sanitation in the foreground.

DODGERS LIFT
DOUBLE BILL,
TO TRIM CARDS
And the Red Birds Nation
al League Lead Is Cut
to Half Game

NEW YORK, July IS. (UP)-
The last place Brooklyn Dodgers
flared up to win double
header from the st. Louis Cardi-
nails yesterday and trim the Red
Birds National league lead to a
mere half gave over the Chicago
Cubs.
The scores were: to 3 and II
to 4.
Van Mungo, who started for
Brooklyn, gave up all of St. Louis
six hits in the five innings he
worked. Jeffcoat, who relieved
him, allowed no safeties and was
in the box when the Dodgers
broke a three-three tie to receive
credit for the win. George Wat
kins led the Brooklyn 11-hit at
tack with a homer and a triple in
four attempts. Bill Walker, the
second of the three Cardinal hurl-
ers, was the loser.
With the score deadlocked A

rushed in to coke off the attack
and ultimately received credit
for the victory. Three misplaced
hunts and three singles in the
tenth gave the Bees their winning
margin.
The Cincinnati Reds lost their
fourth straight game to eastern
invaders, A to 0, in the first game
of a double header, but came back

man. who toiled for eight innings
gave the Reds only one hit in the
opener and Passeau, who relieved
him in the ninth, allowed none;
The pills got to Derringer and
slime for II to win easily.
The Reds were forced to come
from behind with a three-run
hurst in the ninth to knot the
count 3-3, to win the second en-
counter. Two hits and two bases
on balls by Passeau in the l!th
accounted for the Reds winning
tally.

Again we make the statement
that no one institution in our dis
trict is as important to the general
welfare of the communication
every angle-as is the operation of
the cannery. Up until this week.
however, the general public has not
been certain that the plant would
operate this year, but from the an
nouncementS just made by the
management, it begins to appear
that the plant is expecting to run
at full blast. The original support
accorded the effort to secure the
plant three years ago by the bust
nessmen of the community. who
supplied the capital, the whole
hearted support given by the local
selling agencies and by the grow
ers too has indicated the import
ance which the institution is held
in the eyes of the community. We
hope that as good as the prospects
are for this year that they will be
the poorest we are to see for many
years to come.

THESE SHOULD BE REWARDED

Every community has a number of
individuals. who. because of their
Willingness and ability to sing. are
called upon frequently to furnish
the music at funerals We have
often wondered how many people
have given thought to the splendid
service these persons so generously
give in the course of a year. We
have known a good many of them
in the past, but we have never
known of one who did not respond
willingly and cheerfully on all oc-
casions no matter how frequently
the demands came or how busy the
individual was at the time. Wheth-
err it is a funeral over which the
whole countryside seems to mourn,
or whether it is simple funeral at
which only half dozen are in at
tendance, their measure of service
is just as fully and cheerfully given.
In the scheme of things now we are
all busy. Sometimes to some of us it
seems that life is little more than
a tread mill, each day filled with
an almost frenzied effort to keep
up, to get the things done that it
seems must be done It often hap
pens that in the press of duties
that crowd upon us we forget to pay
the last respect to departing
friend by attending his funeral, but
these faithful few not only attend
the funerals of friends, but give
hours of service to strangers as we'll,
whom they have never known. If
there is a heavenly choir any place
in the scheme of things, in the here
after, these folks should have the
choice of cushioned seats we'll up
in front.

THE CORNERSTONE

Why should the Masons lay the
corner stone on the new high school
building. was a question which was
propounded in a class in the local
institution this week. The teacher
was, apparently. unable to give
suitable explanation. Perhaps others
in the community have wondered
about that too.
Many of the public buildings in
this country have had their corner
stones set by this organization, es-
pecially school houses. The occa-
sion is always one for ceremony and
the rites are based upon one of the
principal tenets of the lodge.
Hundreds of years ago, in the
early stages of the organization, the
members were actual maSOns -
builders of the edifices which have
Ioomed great in history. It's men,
bership was confined to that class
which had a knowledge of the arts
and sciences and were skilled in
their application.
During the passage of the years,
instead of operative masons only
being admitted into membership,
students of the arts and sciences
were admitted who became specula-
tive MaSons- in a finer
sense than mere hewers of stone.
The basic principles of the order re-
manned the same thurout the years
tho the method of expression was
changed.
AS opponents of constitutional lib
erty, education and enlightenment.
it well became the order to hvae it's
part in such ceremonies as will &C.
cur on Saturday. The laying of the
cornerstones on public buildings
having long been function of the
order, but the ceremony has no other
local significance. Citizens of the
community interested in the adj
vancement of education will no
doubt be interested.
