OLD FORT NEWS VOLUME II OLD FORT, N. C., THURSDAY, APRIL 4, 1929 NUMBER 28 > ♦» THE OLD FORT NEWS The Old Fort News is pub lished each week in connection with the Marion Progress. MISS GERTRXJBE DUILA, Editor and Business Manager. See from the brake the whirring pheasant springs, And mounts exulting on triumpfliant wings; Short is his joy; he feels the' fieiy wound. Flutters in blood, and panting beats the ground. Ah! what avail his glossy varying dyes, His purpled chest and scaxlfet-cirded eyes. The vivid green his lining plumes unfold, His painted wings, and breast that flames with gold! —Pope’s Windsor Torest. WHEN WASHING SOILS CLOTH (Literary Digest) The proper length of time to wash clothes with soap and water is eevsp and one-half minutes, and if a too- industrious washerwoman keeps on longer, using the same soapy water, the clothes get dirtier instead t)f cleaner. So find iDr. F. H. Rhodes and Mr. S. W. Brainard of the De partment of Chemistry of Cornell University, who report their results to the American Chemical Society. Says Dr. E. E. Free’s “‘Week’s Sci ence” (New York): To determine just how clean a piece of standard dirty cloth l>eeomes by so many hours or minutes of washing, the Cornell chemists have devised an optical instrument which measures the whiteness or grayness of the cloth more accurately than can be done by the eye. Using a stan dard cloth and standard conditions of soap, water, washing, and so on, they find that dirt corttinires to l>e ren^ved minute by minute up to the seven-and-one-half-minute limit. • Af ter that the grayness of the cloth be gins to increase instead of decreas ing. If clear water is used instead of soapy water this curious reversal of the cleansing »efSect does not occur. The removal of the dirt, while slower and not always so complete, proceeds regularly, however long the rinsing with pure water is continued. The ef- fiect of soap in making the cleansed cloth actually dirtier after the seven and one-half minutes is probably due. Dr. Rhoaes and Mr. Brainard believe, to the action of the soapy WOODMEN CIRCLE NEWS On Monday evening, March 25th, the members of Rhododendron Grove met in the W. O. W. hall for their regular meeting. Mrs. Geo. Hyams, the guardian pf the Grove, was in the chair and the business session was carried on in a strictly business man ner. Plans were discussed for making a donation to the “Home” which is being erected at Sherman, Texas. After much discussion it was decided that a gift from each member would make a very acceptable package. The gifts are to, be brought to the hall and sent to the ascumulation commit tee. Mrs. Chas T. Steppe, who has been State president of the Supreme For est Woodmen Circle for the past two years, and Mrs. Lee Jordan, who was a delegate sent from Rhododendron Grove to the State Convention which convened in Charlotte March 18-20, were called upon to make reports of the proceedings of the convention. They gave such glowiifg reports that each and every member present ex pressed regret that the entire mem bership from Old Fort could not have attended. Mrs. Steppe said that “Senator Sheppard’s speech alone was worth far more than the expense of the entire trip.” Senator Shep pard is one of the national officers. According to the reports, the con vention opened Monday evening with a banquet, given by the Chamber of Commerce in honor of the National officers. Senator Morris Sheppard of Texas and Sov. Harriet T. Donelan of Columbia, S. C. Everything was ideal from start to finish. Mrs. Effie E.

FIRST AID FOR SICK HENS Doctoring sick hens isn’t very sat isfactory. It’s-usually cheaper in the end to kill ailing birds at once and bury them deeply. Then the coops should be well cleaned and sprayed out with a good disinfectartt. One good remedy to give if your flock is ailing, is Epsom salts. The dose is a pound for 100 grown birds, and it can be fed in a wet mash, placed in small piles, so each fowl will get a share. They will eat it more readily if they are first starved 12 to 18 hours.—Farm- Life. Mrs. Sam Stone, Misses Betty Crawford and Eunice Wilkinson | spent Tuesday in Asheville. } Mr. and Mrs. M. W.
