REVIEW
o/NEW BOOKS
A number of new books have been
received at the Newbery county li
brary. A brief review of some fol
lows:
“Shanghai ’37” by Vicki Baum.
You have read many interesting
stories by this author in popular
monthly magazines as well as book
form. The scene of this new story
is Shanghai on the eve of the Jap
anese invasion. The plot is similar
to the one of Grand Hotel. It is said
to be Vicki Baum’s “most moving and
important book.”
"The Flaming Sword” is_a gripping
narrative by Thomas Dixon. All
book readers have thrilled with Dix- '
on’s “Birth of a Nation,” Fall of a ;
Nation”, “The Clansman,” “The Man
In Grey” and many others. After
six years silence spent in study and
research Dixon writes again a mighty
novel. Leafing through the book, it
appears to be the kind you want to
sit down with in a comfortable chair i
and start in reading right away.
“They Wanted to Live" by Cecil
Roberts. Gf the books written by
Roberts in the past probably “Vic
toria Four-Thirty” was the most
prominent. This new one is an amus
ing story, light, and with a touch of
mystery. The scene is in European
countries.
Two new books in the library by
Sheila Kaye-Smith are “Faithful
Stranger” and “Valiant Woman.” The
ar.hor has written many books con
sisting of a selection of tales of the
Sussex countryside.
"Royal Regiment” by Gilbert Fran-
kau is a novel of contemporary be
haviour. You’ll probably enjoy it a
great deal.
For those of us who are always
ready for a light, amusing, yet touch
ing story comes two new ones by
Helen Topping Miller. “Hawk in the
Wind” is one and the other “Let Me
Die Tuesday” has as its background
the wealthy Florida social world.
Comes another story by the very,
very popular Temple Bailey, “I’ve
Been To London” It’s a tale of two
sisters, Peggy and Pamela Pierce,
w*ho are as different types as sisters
could be. The setting is, of course,
London. A review states this to be
Miss Bailey’s “finest and most inter
esting novel.” And that’s saying a
lot.
i “Reaching for the Stars” by Norah
Wain. This is a German story, said
to be Jthe most requested non-fiction
writing of the day.
“The Seventh Hour” by the ever-
popular Grace Livingston Hill. The
Hill stories are all a great deal alike,
but we all look forward to reading
them, every one. Her stories never
fail to leave an up-lifted feeling.
‘“Black Narcissus” by Rumer God-
den and “Next to Valor” by John Jen
nings are two more of the new books.
“The Patriot” is Pearle Buck’s la
test contribution to readers. Like
her others this is a Chinese story. It
was recently carried in a current
magazine.
“The Brandons” by Angela Thiik-
kell is a pure fiction book. i
Lovers of sea stories will thorough
ly enjoy “Captain Horatio Horn-
blower” by C. S. Forester r a great sea
captain.
“Wickford Point.” by John Mar-
quand has its setting in the New Eng
land section. Strictly fiction, it deals
with members of several families who
are residing in one house.
A number of books were added to
the library this week that aren’t
exactly “brand new” as far as time
of writing is concerned, but there
may be some among the number that
you just never got around to read
ing. Now’s your chance.
“Rumbling of the Chariot Wheels”
by I. Jenkins Mikell is the story of
doings and misdoings in the barefoot
period of a boy's life on a Southern
plantation.
Two stories of the Black Border
by Ambrose E. Gonzales are “The
Captain” and “Leguerre.” A book by
a brother of Gonzales, N. G. Gonzales,
in the library is “In Darkest Cuba.”
“Star Spangled Virgin” by DuBose
Heyward. You probably enjoyed
“Peter Ashley” and “Angel” by Du
Bose.
“False To Any Man” by Leslie Ford
is for those who “eat-up” mystery
stories. And by the way, Leslie Ford
is a “she.”
Here’s one for your must -read
list. “The Ownby Inn” by Joseph Lin
coln assisted by his son, Freeman
Lincoln. It’s a fresh and salty story
with the excitement of a mystery. I
Remember the amusing little story
“Christmas Day” by Lincoln 7
Looking ’em Over
By LONNIE FRANKLIN
World Series Aftermath
As expected the Yankees took the
Reds in the Series. The highlights—
four home runs out of five hits in
the third game and Pearson’s 2 hit
game. They went back to Reulbach’s
game against the White Sox in 1906
for comparisons and said he pitched
a two hit game, hut the 1906 rule
book shows that on October 10, 1906,
only Donhorie’s single in the sixth
was the lone hit off Ed that day.
Here is the summary:
Cubs: 7—10—2
Sox: 1—1—2
Reulbach and Kling, White, Owens,
and Sullivan. On October 11, 1906
Ed Walsh gave the Cubs only two
hits:
Sox 3—4—1
Cubs: 0—2—1
Walsh and Sullivan, Pfiester and
Kling.
And again on October 12 another
two hitter by Miner Brown.
Cubs: 1—7—1
Sox: 0—2—1
Brown and Kling, Altrock and Sul
livan.
Compare these figures also: At
tendance, 99,845 paid admission for
six games. Sox won 4. Gate receipts
$106,350. Each Cub got $439.50.
Each Sox got $1,874.63, as owner
Comisky gave his team’s share to the
players.
Great games of former series show
Josh Devore singled in the seventh
on October -4, 19ii, or Matthewson
to defeat Bender 2 to 1 as Giants and
Athletics met. Then on the 17th the
A’s scored twice in the eleventh to
stop Mattewson, this time Combs on
the mound, 3 to 2.
On October 16, 1912, Joe Wood of
the Red Sox defeated Matthewson of
the Giants for the deciding game of
the series, 3 to 2, in ten innings. In
1914 the Boston Braves took the high
ly favored Athletics in four straight.
In 1921 the Yanks and Giants play-
the only best five winners series saw
Hoyt and Nehf meet in the eighth
game. Hoyt walked Bancroft and
Young, then Peckenbaugh errored in
the first inning and that lone run
won the series 1 to 0.
The Yanks got back against the
Giants in 1923 winning the series as
Meusd singled in the 8th on October
15, 1923 as Pennock edged Nehf 6 to
4.
That October aflernoonn w'-en
Babe Ruth smacked 3 homers in one
game against St. Louis. On October
12, 1929, the Cubs led the Athletics
8 to 0 going into the seventh, then
the Athletics scored ten runs in the
seventh, 10 to 8.

1940 Chevrolets Make Their Boiv
Three series of passenger cars, re-designed in the new “Royal Clipper"
styling, and embodying numerous mechanical ~ improvements to assure
greater safety and comfort as well as finer performance, comprise Chevro
let’s new line for 1940, introduced today. All series are much larger, over
all length being increased 4% inches. The new exclusive vacuum power shift
(lower left) is now regular equipment on all models of all series at no extra
cost. Special De Luxe series, the Sport Sedan of which is shown at center,
has a new T-spoke steering wheel with horn-blowing ring (upper right).
Lower right, the 1940 Chevrolet six-cylinder valve-in-head engine, which has
been improved for smoother, quieter operation, and extremely long life.
Stressing the importance of proper
attention in October to livestock feed
ing, breeding, and management prob
lems, Assistant County Agent J. L.
King makes these suggestions:
Animal Husbandry
1. Sow some small grain (barley,
oats, or rye) for winter hog grazing.
2. Castrate pigs when they are three
to six weeks of age and use precau
tion to control screwworm. 3. Ar
range to feed out a carload of
steers and use the manure on the
farm. 4. Turn beef cattle on a re
served pasture which has not been
grazed during the latter part of sum
mer. 5. Arrange to purchase pure
bred bulls if needed. 6. Observe the
herds for screwworm infestation and
give treatment, if necessary.
Darying
1. Run cows on hay and com fields
to clean up after harvest. 2. Feed
each cow grain in proportion to milk
yield shown by milk records. 3. Cull
low-producing cows to avoid winter
ing them. 4. Increase hay and silage
as pasture grasses die. 5. Secure
service of good purebred bull to make
calves more valuable. 6. Lime the
pastures. 7. Plant winter grazing at
once using four bushels per acre of
a mixture of small grains with 15 to
20 pounds of crimson clover.
Poultry
1. Move pullets td laying house be
fore they come to full production. 2.
Clean and spray the laying house
and delouse the pullets before putting
them in it. 3. Keep corn before the
pullets in order to get them in good
flesh before coming into egg produc-
eion. 4. Dispose of any light breed
pullets that are not laying by the
time they are seven months old, heavy
breeds, eight months old. 5. Select
and sell non-laying hens.
