Thrilling Prize Fights We're
Staged Here Last Fri. Night

In the third featured bout OF
the evening, John Rackley, OF
Boone, found Arthur Edwards, OF
Charlotte extremely tough. Rack
ley, firing himself out in the first
round by hitting Edwards as fast
and as hard as possible, was on
the little end of a decision after
the three rounds were over. Ed
wards took everything Rackley
had to offer then gave him a ter
rifle beating. AS the bell sound
ed at the end of the third round,
Edwards let 60. a right that sent
Rackley clear across the ring and
down. The fans went wild. w.
The three Grayson brothers,
of West Jefferson, won two and
tied another. T. Grayson stole the
show, though, from his other bro
theirs. T., boxing like a veteran,
scored the only technical knock
out of the evening when his Qp-
ponent, Leonard Tomlinson, of
the CCC camp, could not come
back for the third round. In the
early stages of the bout, T. Gray
son brought blood to Tomlinson's
nose with rapid-fire left jabs. In
the second round, Grayson's dy-
Mantle right put Tomlinson down
for the count of nine. Grayson
had him groggy at the sound OF
the bell.
Buddy Grayson, tipping the
scales at 148 and fighting Claude
Howell, an ex-football player
from Lansing, got credit for win
ming on a decision.
Other fights on the card were:
Jimmy Grayson VS. Peck Davis,
End, draw; and A. M. Jones VS.
Wade Eller, Jr. The latter scrap
proved to be the most spectacu-
lar of the night as both boys
fought from the beginning until
the end as if their life depended
on the outcome. It was Jones'
fight by a decision.
This week Basil Barr, local
fight promoter, received a letter
from the three Charlotte boys,
Badame, Tyson and Edwards,
which stated, "Never before have
we enjoyed any fights any more
than we did . in West Jefferson.
Your boys were clean fighters
and good sports, including the
crowd We're hoping for an
opportunity to visit your town
again."

Gym Packed for Legion Bouts.
Clark, Graysons, Jones
Are Only Winners.

Ashe county's bigger and better
boxing matches, held last Friday
night at the West Jefferson gym
under the sponsorship of the To-
cal Post of the American Legion,
were an overwhelming success
with approximately 500 persons
attending.
Con Ireson, a veteran boxer in
pre-war days. refereed the fast,
hard-fought bouts that kept the
fans in continuous roar.
Peck Davis, Lansing's profess
sional fighter, met Sol Badame in
the featured bout and for the Sec
ond time in six months. Davis af-
ter being knocked down for the
count of nine in the first round,
made sensational comeback and
put Badame down in the second
for what fans thought was a
knockout. The tricky Badame,
'Y" boxer from Charlotte, was
up at the count of nine, though,
ready for more of Davis let's
and rights. In the third, Badame
landed several good hay-makers
while Davis scored on counter
punches. The judges decided the
fight draw, an dthe fans thought
likewise.
West Jefferson's puglistic pride,
Garrett Clark was very much
surprised in not being able to To-
cate his man, Carl Tyson, until
the second round. Clark, getting
off to a ragged start, never boxed
with the greatness that won him
the Golden Glove championship
in 1888. Always calm and cool,
however, Clark bore in midway
the second round and knocked
Tyson with a beautiful right, half
way through the ropes. AS soon
as the Charlotte lad was back in
the ring, Clark covered him with
lefts and rights. He was saved by
the bell. By clinching and dane
ing, Tyson kept out of the way
of Clark's damaging blows until
the last few seconds of the third
round. Clark finally measuring
his man with his left, then swift
ly crossing with his right, fol-
lowed by more rights, sent his
man to the canvas to stay. Again
Tyson was saved by the bell.
Clark's fight on a decision.

Farm Questions
And Answers

QUESTION: How should pre-
pare pasture land for seeding?
ANSWER: The ideal seed bed
for pastures is one that is tho
roughly pulverized to a depth OF
about three inches and left undis-
turbed below that depth. If any
blowing is necessary, this should
have been done at least six to
eight weeks before sowing the
seed. Land that has been in row
crops may be prepared by disc
ing and narrowing, but land that
has been idle may have to be
plowed lightly before discing.
For freshly cleared land the
brush should be burned and the
land narrowed with a disc or an
old fashioned A-shaped harrow.
The latter is especially useful
among stumps.
QUESTION: How can I cure a
calf of indigestion or diarrhea?
ANSWER: This indigestion or
common scours is usually caused
by improper feeding, such as
overlooking, or the use of dirty
pals or boxes, irregular feeding
or feeding milk too rich in fat. 1t
is much easier to prevent the
trouble than to cure it. Check
your practices, as mentioned, and
then isolate the calf and reduce
the milk feed at least one-half.
Legume hay should be replaced
with grass hay and the animal
given a dose of one to three ta-
blespoonfuls of castor oil mixed
with a pint of fresh milk. After
the oil has acted, give the ami
NAL a tablespoonful of a mixture
composed of one part salol and
two parts each of subnitrate OF
bismuth and bicarbonate of soda.

meat is tender. Yield: 4 portions.
Hamburgers may be cooked in the
same way; cook Is to 20 minutes after
browning.
So far we have been talking about
the use of hot soups. Equally, or per
haps even more. important from the
point of view of summer use, is con-
somme Madrilene One of these is OF
light lemon" color, and is made OF
a consomme base with tomato and
other havorings added and comes in
l-pound cans. 1t is easy to Jell, either
in or out of the can. And it can be
served in numerous ways - as first
courses, as salad.
1t is a good idea to keep l-pound
can habitually in your refrigerator or
ice box. Standing on shelf in the cold
part of your refrigerator. it will jell IN
eight hours. But if you have forgotten
to keep an emergency can on Jell,
and want to use one more quickly.
open the can and pour the contents
into the freezing tray Of your auto
matte refrigerator. 1t will be ready in
an hour and half or two hours.
One excellent way to serve it as a
first course is to break it up lightly
with a fork, place it in bouillon cups,
sprinkle with finely chopped chives,
parsley or pimiento.
You will also find this soup very
attractive if you use spoonful of
frozen tomato juice with each bOulllon
cup Season the tomato juice well with
lemon, onion. salt and pepper and -
if you like it tabasco sauce; then
freeze the tomato juice to the point
where it is merely mushy.
AS an appetizer. the jellied con-
somme Madrilene is attractive when
served with hard-Cooked, stuffed
egg. Make lettuce cup on each salad
plate. put the stuffed egg in the center,
and circle it with the jellied con-
somme.
Or combine it with raw tomatoes
to make salad Remove the skin and
centers from SIX tomatoes; turn toma-
toes upside down and drain slightly,
sprinkle inside with salt and pepper;
and when you are ready to serve, fill
the tomato cups with the jellied Mad
rilene. Serve with mayonnaIse

nor those of us who do our own
cooking, summer creates two
special problems: how to make
meal times genuinely pleasurable for
our tired and captious families. and
how to prepare their food without
turning our kitchens into private in
fernos. Menus planned around salads
are. of course, partial answer - but
only partial, for even in hot weather
the family will want something more
than cold comfort. 1t is our own ex-
perience that a first course of hot
soup adds infinitely to the attrac-
tiveness of an otherwise cold meal.
And when we say soup, we mean
canned soup, since there would be no
gain to us in the slow process of pre-
pairing homemade soup.
The one pound cans of cream OF
oyster, cream of spinach. and onion
soup are good to serve hot with
a main dish of salad. They have the
kind of body and favor which makes
a man especially feel that meal is
substantial Here, for instance, is a
very satisfactory supper menu:
Hot Cream of Spinach Soup
Jellied Chicken Loaf
Julienne Potatoes
Mixed Green Salad Melba Toast
Chilled Melon Balls
