AMT FRIENDSHIP WONDERFUL

Happy ChondIer, the junior senator
from Kentucky, hos O new swimming
pool on his country estote near YER
soiIIes, in thot stote. If one can accept
the word Of Chambers opponent ! n
the Democratic primary, John Young
Brown, these are its specifications:
It contains four tons Of steel, as
we'll as bross and rubber, all used in vio-
lotion Of priority regulations.
1t was built, at q cost Of several
thousand dollars, otter the War Pro-
duction board had forbidden residen-
tioI Improvements costing more than
$500.
1t was paid for by q couple Of war
contractors, one Of whom, Ben n. COL
Iines, hold O $l,745,l5O government
order. ChondIer is q member Of the
senote mi|itoy offoirs committee,
which posses on all war department op.
preparations.
To all this Chambers first reply was
that the pool "wos built in the name Of
friendship and accepted in the same
spirit" Now he says that he moy give
it to the Riddles otter he dies.
Mr.. Brown hos written complaints
to President Roosevelt, Donald Nelson,
the FIJI, and the Trumon committee.
Mr.. Brown ought to meet }. Paul Kern,
who hoIIered copper when q New York
City paving gang pulled up q street and
moved it to the country estote Of Boss
Ed Flynn, the Democratic national
chairman. Flynn replied thot Kern was
crozy. FIynn's pal, Frantic FioreIIo La
Guordio, fired Kern from his city Job,
and O grand jury, coached by FIynn's
personal district attorney in the pick
pocket maxim that they cont do any,

his poke, reported that q crime had
been committed but no one could be
sent to joiI.
Some woys, this is q nice war. If
you know the right people, povine
blocks have O way of popping up in your
front yord. You get home from O hard
dogs work representing the people and
there's q brand new swimming pool in

ty; The application of the ideal
Of service by every Rotarian to
his personal business, and COM
munity life; The advancement OF
international understanding, good
will and peace through a world
fellowship of business and pro-
fessional men united in the idea
of service"

The first shipment of lambs in
the Ashe county lamb pool will
be made on July 8. The lambs
will be weighed up on Thursday
and Friday, July End and 3rd.
All those who intend to sell their
lambs in the pool, should notify

if they have not already done so,
in order that they may receive
the schedule for weighing and
grading. Grading will be done
by a grader approved by the
State Department of Agriculture
and the Extension Service.
Red clover should be cut be-
fore it gets in full bloom in or
der to make the best quality hay.
Much of the feed value is lost by
waiting too long to make the
first cutting and it also damages
the second growth. Most of the
seed is produced in the second
growth of clover, which makes it
more necessary to get moving
done in time to make prepara-
lions for seed crop.
Soybeans can still be soWn for
hay if they are put in within the
next few days. Several bushels
of good seed soybeans are still
available in West Jefferson that
should be making hay for dairy
COWS and other cattle this win
ter. When we have more serious
transportation problems, which
are very evident in the near flu
ture, we may all wish we had
more good soybean hay to cut
down the high protein concen-
trate requirements in the feed
which we have been accustomed
to buying. A good practice is to
follow soybeans in the rotation
with barley, rye, or wheat IN or
der to have a good winter cover.
