POOLE’S MEDLEY
By D. SCOTT POOLE
The Fayetteville Observer editor
ially surmised a few days ago that
the Allies needed Grant, Sherman, et
al,, to cope with the Japs and Ger
mans. Since Hong Kong, Singapore,
Java. Sumatra, and now Libya, in
North Africa. He said not a word
of needing a Lee. Jackson, Hoke or
Jonhsion. and he a southerner. It’s
^iwful to know men so little.
Grant assaulted Lee’s lines around
Petersburg, Va., for seven months,
and like the British at Libya, had the
advantage in manpower, in equip
ment. ten to one in men, and almost
that in guns, “and not a Yankee
crossed Lee's lines with a gun in his
hand." And, I believe Hitler’s man
ner of attack, would be “pie” for Sou
thern warriers as Lee, Jackson and
others.
Had the British and French closed
in behind the Germans when they
w'ent across France in 1940 (or 1939),
cut their line of communications, and
held them for 48 hours. World War II
would have been over. It would have
taken fighting—carnage and death—
plenty of it, but that is war. If the
war were made like Sherman said it
is worth more than he is depradable,
and if you cannot depend on a man
he cannot be of /nuch service to you.
I have had many disappointments in
folks, still I w’ill trust most of them.

Question—^Which is the best
of the day to dust cotton?
Answer—At one time it was
thought thta cotton had to be dusted
in the early morning, in the late af
ternoon, or at night—some time when
the plants were wet. However, spec
ialists have found that dusting one
time of the lay is just about as good
as another. What little difference
there is between dusting in the mid
dle of the day and against early morn
ing isn’t enough to justify letting
equipment lie around idle when a
cotton crop needs to be dusted to
save it from boll weevil.

less suffering and humiliation.
Occasionally Lees line around Pet
ersburg was broken, but not by Fed
eral soldiers’ assault. Gen. Wade
Hampton would take three regiments
of cavalry, one regiment would dash
across the Federal lines, another reg'
iment would hold the right flank, and
another the left flank, while the first
regiment captured and drove in
herd of fine beef cattle some Confed
erate scout had discovered.
But for General Wheeler, General
Shaffer would not have taken San
Juan Hill when he did. He had de
cided to cease the attack, and Wheel
er insisted that the fight was already
won, except the shouting, and it was
very nearly the truth.
Mere someone to ask me, and I am
no military expert, nor is my opin
ion supposed to be worth anything,
but I would say Hong Kong, Luzon
and all the Philippines, Singapore,
Java, Sumatra, and the whole of the
East Indies, and the Pacific ocean
should have been held from the start.
How? By fighting.
Will we win this war? Good lack-
aday, we must. The idea of having
a boss, a Jap boss, or a Getaspo boss,
;any kind of a boss. Freedom is worth
more than life. There is no necessity
•of Grants, Shermans nor Lees, nor
anyone from the dead past, but we
«eed an enlivened nation. Win the
•war? Why we are like the fellow
•digging for a gopher—we must have
it.
For four years the Allies laid seige
to Galipoli, the strong Fort on the
Caspian Sea, and the Turks and Rus
sians held despite the assault of the
Allied land and sea attack. But along
^>out 1918—in September, perhaps,
the defenders were evacuating the
Rreat fort, when the Allies razed
the seige.
Weeds come in cycles and must be
mowed several times during the
growing season to prevent reseed
ing. The best time to mow is when
the bloom first appears. At this
stage the food reserve of the weeds
is at its lowest point, and there is no
danger of scattering seed by the mow
ing operation. Hand pulling or cut
ting will control weeds on areas
which cannot be reached with a
mower.
Question—How many water foun
tains should be provided for 100
hens?
Answer—C. F. Parrish, Extension
poultryman, advises two fountains
that will hold at least three gallons
of water each. A hundred birds will
consume around 20 quarts, of water
day. Since, eggs are now retailing
at fairly good prices, the poultryman
should do everything in his power
to keep production up. Plenty of
clean fresh drinking water is one of
the “musts.”
Nowadays Mother doesn’t forget
the brush when the painting job is
done. She cleans the paint off while
the paint is still fresh, instead of let
ting it get dry and hard. Then she
wraps the clean brush in paper, ties
a cord around to hold the paper on,
and hangs the brush up by its -handle
to keep the bristles straight and ready
for the next time she paints.
When you have finished painting,
get as much paint off the brush as
you can with a rag. Then dip the
brush in the liquid solvent. If you
have been painting with oil paint,
the solvent will be linseed oil; if
you’ve been using flat finish paint,
clean with kerosene oil, or coal oil
as some people call it. If you’ve
been using shellac, the best cleaner is
denatured alcohol. As for calcimine
or whitewash, just plain water will
take that off. Clean the bristles again
with a clean cloth and last of all
wash the brush in soap and water,
rinse, and dry. Hang the brush up
by the handle to keep the bristles
straight.
A good job of cleaning always
winds up with cleaning the cleaning
tools. One reason for putting clean
ing tools away clean is that you don’t
store dirt. Your brooms, brushes,
mops and clothes don’t develop sour
or moldy odors and don’t attract in
sects. With clean equipment you are
always ready “to go” when cleaning
day comes around. You dqn’t have
to waste a moment getting started
and you can do an efficient job that
gives you satisfaction. But when you
open the closet and find the dustpan
full of dust, the broom greasy or
sticky, the mop dirty and mildewed,
well you know what kind of a start
that gives you. It just spoils your
enthusiasm for cleaning, and you
have to do a big job of cleaning be
fore you even start on the house.

E,
I like to think of pleasant things
1 would like a contest, a political
campaign in which I differed from my
opponent on public questions, and I
coiild convince the voters that I was
right, and win. There is something
in politics that thrills you yet no
where else.
Americans, and from what we
learn of other naitonalities, they too
love alcohol. Why, I do not know
-nnless it is the same I get in poli-
•tics. If you tamper with alcohol
you will get a habit that wQl make a
real slave of you without a doubt,
and not one man in a thousand breaks
away from that habit. Any man who
tiasiformed the habit of drinking al
coholic beverages is to be pitied,
Better not take anything containing
alcohol.
The liquor folks said during pro
hibition times that if we were to let
them have .li^t wines and beer, they
would leave off the fight for hard
Tiquors. In that they proved to be
the same kind of liars Hitler is. He
did not keep an single promise he
made; neither have the light wine and
'heer folks.
I have lived longer than most folks.
S think I know honesty and truth
;^nd thcgr are much desired. Nobody
ZfVERY schoolcitild knows about the Midnight Ride of
' Paul Revere^ but ray few of us realize that diia was one of the least
of Revetu'a aoopmplidunents. Actually, Paul Revere was the “handyman
of the Revolution,” and one the greatest all-
around patriots our country ever had.
Esther Forbes has written a truly great book
about him—“Paul Revere and die WbcM Ha
Lived In”—which the Bo(dt-of-the-Moiidi CSnb
has selected for July. It’s the idml Independence
Day book. Here are some of the t^gs we
learned about PZul Revere and his world from
Miss Forbes* nouhle biography.
Although Revere’s most artistic work was as
a silvetsnuth—and be was the best in the busi
ness—he was also a coppersmith, g^dsmith, a
bell caster, an engnhrer, an optometrist, a pow-
ESTHER FORBES V
of false teeth. He is said to have Jf«ignfd and
fitted a set for George Washington.
His greatest contribution to this country was founding the first rolled
copper mill in the Western Hemisphere. With copper from this mill he
outfitted "Old Ironsides,” most of the U. S. Navy, the dome of the
Massachusetts State House, the»roof of
New York’s City Hall and the boilers
for Robert Fulton’s steamship, “The
Clermont.” Today Revere Copper and
Brass, headed by one of Paul Revere’s
descendants, is once more helping to
arm the aadon.
Paul Revere was an absent-minded
man. On the night he was about to
tide forth to warn his countrymen
about the British, he forgot his spurs _
and had to send his dog home with a note around iu neck to fetch them.
N* *1*® forgot cloth to muffle the oars of his boat—in which he was to
cross the Charles River—and for this the girl friend of a companion had
to contribute her flannel petticoat.
^Revere s first "ride” was in 1773, when he warned the seaports around
Boston chat the tea ships, which were anchored in Boston harbor,
try to nnlMd elsewhere—and not to let them. Later, he took part in do
famous Boston Tea Party, which was probably the best kept secnt of
his day. Thanks to an oath which many of the participants
identity of most of the men who dumped the tea into Boston harbor k
still a mystery.
Among the more curious ordiiiances
b the City of Boston was one
limited the height of dogs to tea
bches. An exception was made, how
ever, b the case of a Newfoundlaiid
dog named “(^eque,” wb'ch bdooged
to Samuel Adams. “Queque” was tol
erated because he was allergic Co the
Redcoats—and vice versa.
Even at that time. Bostonians be
lieved they were superior to the other
Colonies. One declared, after a visic
Co New York, that New Yorkers—quote—"talked very loud, verv fasC
and all together.” ^
Paul Revere lived to be eighty-three years old and was so hale and
hearty he never made out his will until he was eighty-one. Esther Forbes
says of him—I quote: “He was one of the few who helped to plant the
Tree of Liberty and lived to enjoy its fruits.”
