' Rutherfordton, Sept. 21. —Deposi- tors of the defunct Rutherford County Bank and Trust Co., probh bly will be paid a dividend of from 25 to 34 per cent, according to an announcement made Saturday by Dr. J. D. Biggs, 1 iquidating agent, at a CHILDREN CHILDREN will fret, often lor no i apparent reason. But there's always ! Castoria! As harmless as the recipe j on the wrapper; mild and bland as it j tastes. But its gentle action soothes a a youngster more surely than a more powerful medicine. That's the beauty oi this special children's remedy! II mav be given the tiniest infant —as often as there is need. In cases of colic, diarrhea or similar disturbance, it is invaluable. A coated tongue calls for just a few drops to ward off constipation; so does any suggestion of bad breath. Whenever children don't eat well, don't rest well, or have any little upset —this pure vegetable preparation is usually all : that's needed. j CHOOSE A Bank For Its MANAGEMENT These are days when experience and skill in management tell.

I have asked you to judge the Re publican Party by its record. Like wise, you may judge the Democratic Party by its record. Compare the eight years of the Wilson administra tion with its constructive and aggres sive methods of meeting emergencies with the subsequent years of Harding, Coolidge and Hoover and you can find the answer. One thing at least can be said, the Democratic Party; can approach the solution of any problem without fear of offending the contributors to its campaign fund. It can without embarrassment give equ%l and exact justice to all It is under no obligation moral i r otherwise to privilege or pillage. It can administer to a sick and totter ing bureaucracy, a stimulating dose of Jeffersonian Democracy.—From . a recent speech by Former Governor Robert A. Cooper of South Carolina J at Nazareth, Pa.

TIRES ON BUICK MEET MANY RIGID TESTS! ! ! j A new language has established j I itself in automobile testing labora- i itories—the language of rubber. With' j the increasing use of rubber in mo- • j tor cars, such terms as plastometer,! | elastometer, durometer and accelerat- ; . ed ageing, applied to rubber testing! are part ot the regular speech cf au- ; tomobile engineers today. ; I Special apparatus for conducting;! ; these tests is maintained in the lab- 1 oratories of the Buick Motor Co.' i Buick has set up its own standards ' ! for the various types of rubber re quired for different parts of the car, ' according to R. B. Schenck, metallur gical engineer; to which all rubber! parts must conform. ; | i hese tests squeeze, punch, poke,! ; stretch and roast the rubber in the; effort to find out how well it will j j stand up in Buick cars. Rubber for j engine mountings, bumper mount—, j ings, body shims and other parts is icareiuUy tested. The plastometer and ; | durometer tests are for hardness, the ! | elastometer test for elasticity, and | the ageing test for durability. Other j tests are for tensile strength ar.d the j ability to come back after severe com pre ssion.
