We want to call attention to
Farm and Home Week which will be
held at State College from July 81
to August f. We know that this is
very busy time on the farm, but
we feel that your time will be well
spent if you can arrange to attend.
All club women should make an eff
fort to be at the college on Thursday
August 3 which is Federation Day.
There will not be anyone graduating
at Farm and Home Week this year,
but there are some women in the
county working on their certificate
and we hope they will be able to
attend along with any others who
possibly can go.
A new Home Demonstration Club
was organized this week in the sec
ton of Wrenn's Cross Road in Wat
kins Township. The first meeting
was at the home of Mrs. Frazier with
Mrs. Albert Abbott. There were 26
women present to join the club, and
we feel that they are going to be
hard working group. Our next
meeting will be held at the home of
Mrs. w. S. West.
According to the Bureau of Agri-
cultural Economics of the United
States Department of Agriculture
the gross farm income from crops
in North Carolina last year was much
larger than from livestock and live
stock products. Everyone is urged
not to depend principally on money
from cotton and tobacco to raise the
farm income, but to give more at
tentiOn to livestock. We would only
have to try but once to see how our
income would rise if we had livestock
and livestock products for sale.
Cotton treated with new and i'm
proved they'll mercury chloride dust
gave IA per cent more plants than
seed treated with the regular dust on
the farm of w. T. Wilson, Wilson's
Mills, Johnston county.
QUESTION: Does it pay to fertilize
for hay crop?
ANSWER: Research specialists
connected with the Experiment Sta
ton in Raleigh say that plenty of
plant food and limestone in the soil
not only makes more hay but also
hay of higher food value
Fertilized hay contains more pro-
tein, vitamins and mineral matter,
than the same kinG of hay grown
under conditions of soil poverty.
Animals fed on fertilized hay grow
faster, develop better bones and are
healthier than animals fed on hay
from infertile and unfertilized land.

Speaking OF alphabets, this thing
of abbreviating every organizations
title is being carried just bit too
far.
Coming back to the office yester-
day the conductor of this column
noticed in windows of the stores this
enlightening greeting:
"Welcome!! 3 Of L E and C l A."
Arrived at the sanctum the very
efficient office secretary was asked
what all that means-she usually can
tell us most anything.
''The B of l. E part stands for
Brotherhood of Locomotive En-
gineers, but l don't know what the
C l A is, and without meaning any
short answer, l don't care, it's too

to figure out what c. 1 A means for
yourself, if you're that much interest

of Chapel Hill, to the State Rural
Electrification Authority was a fore
gone conclusions; but the fact that
Governor Clyde Hoey renamed D.
E. Purcell, of Reidsville, was some
thing in the nature of a surprise, as
there had been formidable efforts to
induce George Stevens, of Asheville,
to re-assume the post he resigned
some months ago because OF press
of personal business.
C.. r. Kicks, or Nix, or something,
who said he is q an official of the
North Carolina Journeymen BARRIERS,
called from Durham Friday morning
to take exception to the story which
this correspondence sent out regard
ing a fight made on the reappoint-
ment Of N. c. Whitney, Of Winston
Salem, as a member of the State
Board of Barber Examiners.
To hear him talk, the master bar
bers and the journeymen are closer
together than politician and the
pork barrel; there has never been
any discord among or between them;
and everything is now, has been and
forever more will be sweetness and
light.
Just the same, there was such a
light .made-thOugh perhaps not by
Mr.. Hicks, or Mix, or something, and
not only that, but there is now a
movement on foot among the journey
men BARRIERS to "recall'' the entire
board of barber. examiners. The re-

the statute.

it into the water Then with Papa Renard at
the tler it came down along the shore within
sight of where Mama Sullivan sat, and Pierre
waved to her She lifted her hand in stiff,
jerky way. The boat held off toward
Bonaventure and grew small and smaller. and
when it disappeared around the head of the
island, she shut her eyes.
Papa Renard taught Pierre that day the
rocks around the island that must be avoided,
and he drilled Pierre in making landings on
the shingle beaches or at the rude Wharfs.
Regina was with them to laugh at Pierre's
mistakes, and to cheer his successes. She saw
that Pierre was white and his brow was wet
and he shook all over; and she knew how
much he was afraid and was proud of him.
After that first trip, Pierre took the boat
out alone; for four days he spent all day alone
on the water. fighting his fear. To see the
boats bow lift for a wave made his bowels
swoop with terror, and when on some deeper
surge solid water rose close to the gunwale,
he covered away from it as though from
reaching hand. But on the fourth day he
found that he could watch those surges reach
he knew his emancipation was begun He told
Mama Sullivan that night, proudly:
II was not afraid, today
Her lips trembled when she spoke: There
was never any fear in the Sullivans,'
Before Pierre took his place with the other
boatmen to compete for the Bonaventure
trade. remembering his promise to Mama
Sullivan, he bought some life preservers. Even
his friends smiled at that, and August jeered.
The notion that life belts were needed for the
six or eight mile run around Bonaventure was
ludicrous. certainly.
As summer progressed, Pierre grew busy.
Fair weather lulled his fears, and day by day
Mama Sullivan sat on her porch to watch
him go and to wait for his return. Sometimes
the boatmen across the street saw her lips

moving: but no one could see the terror that
shook her soul.
Sometimes Regina went on trips with
Pierre One day in midsummer, as soon as
they set out, Auguste with two passengers
came after them. Auguste's was the faster
boat. He passed Pierre, and then sheered
over in front of Perre's boat and choked his
motor 50 that blue clouds of sinking smoke
from the exhaust set all Pierres passengers
coughing. Also Auguste slowed down. kept
just boat 5 length in front of them all the
way around the island and back home.
Regina was hot with rage at that. She was
sure that when they came to shore Pierre
would pound Auguste till the other man
squeaed for mercy; but when they landed.
Pierre said nothing to Auguste at all. When
Regina realized that he was not going to do
anything, she turned and ran away so that
no one would see her cry. But that evening
when Pierre came to her, she asked. Pierre,
why didn't you beat Auguste today"
"Auguste loses much business to me,
Regina Last night Mr.. Patterson engaged me
to take party to the island for all day to-
morrow. Always he has engaged Auguste
before; so Auguste was angry.
He always laughs at you! He laughs at
your life beltsr
Let him laugh. 1t will make him fat.
Are you afraid of himo'
But no."
She was choking with shame for him and
fury at him. Then why don't you beat him.
Perhaps he might beat me, Regina! - so
badly that would have to stay abed and lose
much business Wait till October when no
one wants to ride in my boat. Then we will see
about beating Auguste.
She said huskily: Pierre, will not ride
with you again till you beat Auguste. | will
never marry you till you beat Auguste,

ing was also confession but his voice was

The Brawley-El Centre football

So strictly on my own, I made
my way to Crosley Field. Only a

thousands of excited persons. Now
it was dark as the inside of black

tlashlight, slipped on my sneakers
and crawled carefully toward home
plate.
Nearing it, cried Ernie Lom-
bardi! It's friend
There was no answer.
I turned my torch squarely on the
place where the Reds catcher had
staked out his claim, and it was
bare. Bare of Lombardi, that is.
Signs that he had lived there for
days still existed. There was a small
kerosene stove. Scraps of bread
were scattered halfway to the pitch

CINCINNATI, O., Oct. 26. CUP)-
Ernie Lombardi finally has gotten
up.
He no longer is stretched across
home plate at Crosley field.
With winter setting in, and the
first SHOWS only few weeks away,
the big catcher of the Cincinnati
Reds has broken camp and moved
to a warmer base.
lombard, you will recall, sud-
denly grew tired of life in the tenth
inning of the final game of the
World series early this month, and
withdrew from it. Without a word
of warning to his teammates or
to the New York Yankees, he set
up light housekeeping at home
plate, hung out please don't dis
turb' sign, and hibernated like the
bear of a catcher he isn't.
Days passed and no word was
heard from him. The fans went
home. The Yankees went home. The
sportswriters went home. Crosley
Field was draped in crepe and
locked for the winter. Baseball was
forgotten for football.
But lombard was not forgotten.
Persons all over the country began
inquiring as to his whereabouts. Was
he still at home plate, Had he left
there for somewhere else, Was he
protected against winters blasts,
Had Powell Crosley, president OF the
Reds, sent him blankets and a
sleeping bag? Was there Saint
Bernard dog in attendance? Was
ne hurt?
In short, what had become of
Lombardi?
AT this point this reporter en-
tered the mystery. Despite the fact
that 1 have won SO many Pulitzer
prize cups that I now use them for
cereal bowls at breakfast, 1 inter-
rupted my journey to Columbus for
