Since the new library was built,
the collection has grown to large
proportions as well as branches hav-
ing been established at Lexington
and Tchula. For nine years the Lex
ington library has been operated as
a branch of the county library with
Mrs. Irene S. Money as librarian.
Before this time a W.P.A. library
was operated under sponsorship of
the Business and Professional
Women's club of Lexington.
More than 1000 books each month
are issued from Lexington and
about half of these are taken out
by readers in the rural districts.
The Tchula library, located in the
City hall, is open 3 days a week
The county appropriation for Ii
braries has been increased to 1925
a month.
Other Bronches
The main branch of the library
is open each day from 9 to 5, with
the Lexington branch open during
the week except Thursday afternoon
and Saturdays. Part of the best OF
the worlds best literature is housed
in the library and branch offices
together with particularly good
children's collection.
Significant of the library's con
tinued growth and popularity in
service is the complete maintenance
and upkeep provided for by the
county. Though donations and con-
tributions of books are welcomed
officials say that the allotment paid
by the county has taken care Of
most additions, as well as salaries.
The book committee, composed Of
members in the county, select al
new purchases. AS of January of this
year, 1000 books were owned, anc
made available to the public through
the branch libraries as well a!

Christ. These great phrases are
suggested:
The promised Christ, the expected
Christ, the heralding Christ, the
presented Christ, the enlightening
Christ, the judging Christ, the merci-
full Christ, the redeeming Christ, the
restoring Christ, the guiding Christ.
Space does not permit the cita-

will reveal each of these gifts and
blessings in the coming Christ.
BETWEEN THE TESTAMENTS
N IMLY only do we envision that
- period Of four centuries, but we
have sufficient light to trace the
steps by which the faithful amongst
the Jews were cleansing themselves
Of idolatry as the fires OF God
purged away the dross Of paganisn
and secularism. One will find rich
reward in the reading Of the Apocry-
pha and Josephus. Also, one win
find in the opening chapters Of the
New Testament light which falls
. back upon those dark ages.
There were synagogue schools,
taught, in many instances by very
able men, such as Hillel. There was
cropping toward the light. Men
were hungry for the fulfilment Of
prophecy. II was the darkness Just
before the dawn.

Insect Damage To Soybedns
The soybean crop in some areas
are being damaged considerably by
insects. Bean beetles, grass hoppers
and other insects are all damaging
the soybean crops. This can be pre-
vented by busting with toxaphene.
Toxaphene has been very success
full in combating insect damage to
soybeans.
Winter Cover Crops
This is rather early to be talking
winter cover crops. However, this
is the time of year to get good
supply of winter cover seed. There
are a lot of farmers that have just
completed harvesting wild winter
peas, vetch and crimson clover seed.
Due to the flood in the Pacific
northwest, where we receive large
amount of our winter cover crop
seed, there is going to be shortage
of vetch and Austrian winter peas.
1t would be well for you, as far
mer, to buy your supply of winter
cover crop seed as soon as possible.
The fertilizer situation is going to
be critical again next year and by
planting cover crops this is good
way to supplement your nitrogen
supply. A good winter legume turn
ed under in the spring is equal to
at least 100 pounds ammonia nitrate
or 200 pounds nitrate soda per acre.
For the farmer in the hill Sec
ton crimson clover seeded at the
rate of 20 pounds per acre is one Of
the best winter cover crops that you
can plant. In the Mississippi Delta it
may be wise to plant vetch, Aus
trian winter peas or some other cover
crops.

GOLD RATE HIGH IN PHILIPPINES

MANILA, (P)-Brokers report ed today that gold produced in the Philippines is selling at the unprecedented peak of $5l.25 an ounce in domestic markets.
 This is $1625 above the U. s. begged price of $35 an ounce, which is the established interna- tional rate.
 There is no limit on the price paid within this country.
 Brokers attributed the buying principally to Chinese and Indi- ans living here. A great amount of the gold will eventually find it's way into China and India, it was believed, although the Phil ippines prohibit such shipments.

Envoys of the United States, Britain and France called today on foreign minister Molotov.
 U. s. Ambassador Walter Be- dell Smith entered the Kremlin at Moscow first. Frank Roberts, special British envoy, and French ambassador Yves Chataigneau followed him immediately. The same three conferred Monday night with prime minister Stalin, seeking a basis for ending the Berlin blockade and resolving other east-West differences.
 Stalin was not believed present at this meeting, which the western diplomats had sought with the foreign minister.
 Diplomats in London said they expect a big four communique to be issued this weekend, announc- ing plans for a new meeting of the foreign minister's council. The council is the four-poWer agency whose last two meetings broke up in disagreementD
 Such a conference might mean and end to the Berlin blockade in which Russia since late June has been trying to force the western powers from the four-poWer city.

Gently was authorized by Congress
to serve as a secondary market"
for mortgages made after April 80
this year.
And this April 80 limitation is the
reason why local mortgage lending
circles don't expect FNMA to have
much business.
Banks and other mortgage lending
institutions here and elsewhere
have a great many mortgages they
would like to sell, but virtually all
were made prior to April 80, when
the authority of the Government to
insure certain types Of loans ex-
pired, 1t was said.
Under the new Housing Act, less
liberal Government backing for
housing loans will be in effect and
there are indications fewer loans
will be made.
Nevertheless, If a lending institu-
ton does want to sell eligible mort
cages on residences, FNMA says it
will buy them, provided they are
guaranteed or insured by FILA Or
VA and were made after April 80.

called home making, may be
viewed from two aspects, the ac-
tivities which go on within the
home and effect chiefly and pri-
marily the members o fthe fam
lily, and, second, those activities
which relate the household to the
community as a whole and which
in turn reflect the activities of
the community in the home.
In actual fact, it is not posi-

stage with the completely of the

it is part and those doings in turn
help to create the atmosphere and
mould the conditions which deter

"Christian" Says Stain
Behind Plea for Equality

TULSA, Okla, Aug. 4. GAN
P)-Save the whiate race by main
tanning white supremacy is the de-
mand now being made by J. E.
Perkins of Tulsa. Perkins claims
that he is advocating that Ne
groes be kept in their place" be-
cause he is a christian" and the
black mans "friend."
Perkins, as a leader of the

now engaged in publishing tracts,
which are being sold of course,
depicting the evils that the Negro
is causing in this land.
He accuses the communists,
Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt and Henry

the Negroes control of this ma

to halt the pro-Stalin drive to

intermarriage and Negro invasion

that has become an international

ture of black and white children
and young people in schools. We
white people must fight this to
the death.
ITO illustrate: Students of phys
iology know that a Negro boy
comes into puberty much earlier
than a white boy, and sex rela-
tionships on the part of Negro
boys at the age Of 10 are not I'M
common. White people must not
permit these blacks to be turned
loose on our little school girls"
In this book, which runs in this
vein throughout, political cam
paigners are warned that they
must toe the line of white su-
premacy or be branded as "the
Negroes candidate"
Speaking to Negroes, the book
let says: "Christian white people
do not hate Negroes. They merely
want these Negroes to keep them
selves in their place"
The public is advised to buy
this and other anti-Negro tracts
by ordering them "by the bun
die" from the Christian Nation
alist Crusade, Lock Box 4163,
Walker Station, Tulsa.
Some of this hate literature is
already being distributed in var
ious communities in the north.
These tracts are good examples of
how the white supremacy support
ers twist their thinking and rea-
soning to go along with their
theories.
