Lesson for September t: Exodus- 10:16: Proverbs 26:23-2$; Mat thew 26:69-75. Memory Selection: Ephesians 4:25. \ The dates of the several passages esed in the lesson show that after several thousand years men were ami prone to Insincerity of speech, for ttie last postage tells how Peter •twice denied his tuord. And. Insin- sdrlty of speech Is still prevalent. So the lesson Is a timely one. ‘ Hot so many are guilty of bearing i witness In court, for compara tively few ore summoned. But there are other ways to hurt a neighbor hr a bad tongue. Even a shrug of the shoulders, with no word spoken, eon slander another. •' Bespect another's character If you have your own respected. For like fowls. Ay home to The passage from Proverbs that falsifying Is bad policy, diggeth a pit shall faU Poor old Peter! In the firelight he ms afraid and ill at ease. He could at remain still. When one maid ac- him of being a disciple of he denied it; then went out the porch, where he again de- his Lewd. $rhen he had re tamed to the fire and this and that •esie accused Mm, saying his speech .betrayed him as a Galilean, he be gan to curse and* to swear, saying, *T know not the man." No wonder he then went out and wept bitterly. The only way to avoid the perils of ,hisincerity is always to speak and the truth. w- ^r clt //(.’STARS r - ; 7 •. » OCK .,■ .•< "" By LTN CONNELLY NWNS Radio-Screen Editor. niHENEVER radio and screen folk ■v convene these days the convert Just naturally swings around > the fabulous contract Bing Crosby with Philco . . .

L -I By MARY E. DAC.T’S? Author of Sitter Mary’* Kii.km ^SEPTEMBER Is always a busy ^ month, what with planning for text year’s garden and taking care »f this year’s as well as looking for- rard to as much indoor'gardening lor the winter months as one’s win- lows will accommodate. . One of the best things about in door gardening is that yon-can con trol those factors that are vital to its success. Drain age, soil, tempera ture and light are entirely in your hands. Old flower pots should be thor- •ughly scrubbed before using again. New clay pots require a good soak- ng In water. This has a tendency to etard their absorption of the soil noisCure so essential to the health •f the plants. Any Pots Will Do It’s bow generally agreed that houseplants can be grown quite as satisfactorily In glased pots as In clay ones. Metal contain ers have come Into favor, too, ae If yon want decorative effects yon need not worry about the health of your plants. However, most remember to give that are potted / in con- without drainage le a water than yon give those in George Christian ' Writes About His Stay At Camp Juniper The size of the pots has much to lo with the health of the plant. A mall plant In a large pot is unable o absorb enough soil and moisture o *keep the soil sweet. Shift small ilants from one pot to the next size anger until they have reached their 'rowth. Of coarse the soil Itself, is very Important. Yon may bo able to hoy potting soil at the florists or nursery, but if yon .want to blend year own take three parts well-rotted leaf mold, one part rich garden loam, one part clean and complete balanced plant food In proportion to the amount of the blended soil. Pat a pieee of broken ereehery over the hole In the bottom of the pot, cover with a thin layer of broken charcoal, a layer of sphagnm moss and then fill the pot with the blended solL Babe Rnth George Christian agreed to give us an outline of Jiis stay at Camp Juniper, Cheraw State Park, which is as followts: MY STAY AT CAMP JUNIPER I attended a summer forestry camp at Cheraw State Park Au gust 5th through August 10th with fifty-one boys from all over the State. One boy from each county was guest of the S. C. State Com mission of Forestry and four boys as guests of the Southern Pine Association, The Southern Pulp- wood Conservation Association, Applachian Hardwood Manufac turers, Inc., and the Seaboard Air Line Railway. We were taught forest manage ment 7>y Mr. H. F. Bishop, Asst. State Forester, who gave us a talk on forest management and showed us a slash and long leaf pine plantation, fire damage, how a fire tower is operated, timber thinned for pulpwood, a slash pine plantation planted in 1937 and 1944, State Forest Head quarters, and also instructions on tallying and estimating trees. We were taught forest fire con- ;trel by Mr. R. M. Campbell, fire control assistant. He gave us the details on forest fire control, or ganization set up for S. C., forest fire prevention, the use of forest fire fighting techniques and for est fire equipment. Mr. J. R. Tiller, Asst. State Forester, and camp conductor, gave us a talk on Public Relations. Mr. W. E. Roberts, gave us a Sandwich Bow Saw demonstration, Mr. P. R. Plumer, State Park Di rector, gave us a talk on State Parks. Every afternoon we enjoyed boating, swimming, horse shoe pitching, soft ball, and volly ball. We had a movie every night ex cept Thursday. Mrs. Dobbins. Robert and Nan$y Shirley gave us a puppet show. I enjoyed the camp very much. George Christian. HPTf By ELLIOTT PINE , r NWNS Sports Writer * The top flight sluggers of this gen eration and the last both played on the Boston Red Box. After world war 1 it was Babe Ruth. He went to the Yankees for his greatest achieve ments, including that 60 homer year. Ted Wil liams, current star with the heavy bat, is coming within shouting distance of that record, long be lieved to' be far out of reach. The pitchers have Something to do with It, of course. A lot of old timers think that Williams does not have to face such tricky hurlers as the old Sultan of Swat did. Then again, maybe he does. The new professional basketball league, the Basketball association of America, will play 594 games this coming season. The eleven teams in the circuit have been divided into two divisions. A title series will end the season. Each team will play 54 games, half of them at home. First game is set for Nov. 2. Bob Montgomery, recognized as lightweight boxing champion in New York and Pennsylvania, but not by the National Boxing Association, was knocked out in a non-title fight in Philadelphia. The winner was 19- year-old Wesley Mouzon, who was a $50 preliminary boy only two years ago. He was managed by Montgom ery’s brother, Com, a.i ironic twist. The Pittsburgh Pirates have e- jected the proposal for unionization. 15 to three . . . Fielding (Hurry Up) Yost, famous football coach, was mentor of the Wolverines at the U. of Michigan for 39 years. He was just past 75 when he died. The Illini, U. of Illinois grid sqqad, will fly to three of their engagements this fall. They will need two transports. Pheasant shooting in S. Dakota will open Oct. 15. It is expected that as many as 300,000 hunters may go to the state this year. A Boston club has never lost a world series . . . the Red Sox won all five of the pennant contests in which they have engaged. The Braves took their .single opportunity at the big prize. By W. J. DRYDEN NWNS Farm Editor • “Agriculture is the noble*;’ of all alchemy; for it turns earth, ana even manure, into gold, conferring upon its cultivator the additional re ward of health.”—Chatfleld. • Most cases of livestock poison'ot: can be traced to the careless hand ling of poison mixtures uced on fruit tfees and crops. ^ M- 3 A. -X • Horse meat can be sold legally if it’s inspected and passed by federal inspectors. It must carry the stamp with the words “horse meat” on it. • In 1910 there were 1,000 tractors on U. S. farms, we now have 2,200,- 000 greatly improved tractors on our 6,800,000 farms. • Concrete makes the best poultry house floor. It is easily cleaned, rat ’ proof and if properly made, is dry and durable. • The 7-7-7 grade fertilizer, applied , 15 pounds to each 1000 square feet of > lawn before the ground freezes, will '. give excellent results. \ • Some dairymen keep their cows J in darkened barns during the day, > then turn them out to pasture at. \ night. That helps avoid trouble with- * heat and flies. • If freshly dug potatoes are le f in the sun, many will be lost becavun { of sunscald.
