J They’re Plump Down In Union. [ Monroe Enquirer. Dr. McFhaul, county and city r health officer of Mecklenburg and : Charlotte, is quoted as saying, “Girls make a great mistake when they ’ think they are more attractive when they are scrawny.” The good doctor ’ goes further and says young woman , (and that's the only kind we have these days) are ruining their health by too much dieting. We invite Dr. McPhaul to Monroe 1 and T'nion county to observe our ' home-grown product. Scrawny girls 1 are rare down in old t'nion. We like , ’em plump—and they strive to please.

Stanly county farmers shipper a car of live jxraltry last week of 10,862 pounds. The poultry was weighed on the car and each farmer received his check immediately. There were about 3,000 birds in the shipmeut. J. H. Burleyson, of Albemarle Route 6. had the record of shipping the smal lest amount of poultry, amounting to *I.BO. L. M. Crayton, of Mt. Pleas ant Route 1. had the largest amount, ; which amounted to *185.07. The j total amount received for this poul j try was *2.577.50. This shipment j was a very good beginning for the 1 ■ people of the county and plans have ; already been made to ship several ! other cars during the season if the , prices will justify it. Most of the | poultry shipped were the poor layers. , Many culling demonstrations were , held and here the farmers had an I opportunity to learn how to cull. A large number knew how themselves. This is a further demonstration that , poultry is a real crop and compares favorably with the other farm crops ( grown in the county. This experience should stimulate a greater interest , in the average farm flock. WUI He Name Them? Stanly News-Herald. I Those friends ap;7 supporters of Senator Overman who felt keen (lie- 1 appointment at learning that he had voted and worked against the Sen ate's movement to investigate the con duct and business methods of the American Aluminum Company, were 6till the more disappointed at his ex planation. Senator Overman, an swering criticisms against him for his stand against the majority of his party leaders, Btated that he received telegrams from friends in North aC'r olina asking him to oppose the in vestigation because it might hamper the Badin plant, and that in response thereto he took the stand for which he has been criticized. We are among the junior North Carolina senator’s friends, but frankly, we are just won dering how many telegrams he got from North Carolina and who sent them. If Senator Overman would name the “North Carolina friends” referred to, we feel quite sure his position would be still the more em barrassing. Will he do it? W. O. Saunders Better After Grave Sickness. i Norfolk, Va., March 2.—-W. O. Saunders, editor of The Hlizabeth City, N.

THE CONCORD TRIBUNE Metropolitan Cities Lose Title To World's Largest Newspaper \' Mr Metropolitan newspaper! of the | North and East have at last been landeo a real jolt by Miami. Fla. j Journals in cities o( the million , (lass—New York. Chicago, Phiia- | ielphia, Detroit, etc., —have been inclined to view Miami’* rise with < $ tolerant smilb. The sunkist city i on Biscayne Bay might be a very I live little burg, they admitted, but i —well, aftei all, it was just a < thriving center that could in no ! wise compete with them for pres- i tige and power! Now. however, it appears that even New York and Chicago must take a seat behind Miami in the i field of paid newspaper advertis ing. And that touches, very ten derly. the sensibilities of the great newspapers in those teeming centers of civilization. In other words, a Miami news paper—The Herald—in 1926. pub lished a greater vt/lume of paid advertising than any other news paper on earth —12,513,436 lines, to be exact Just one nstance illustrate* the CALL ME ONE— j New York Daily Mirror. Call me a cave man. I advocate J clubs for women. Call me discontent. I am a little off. » Call me thermometer. I get there by degrees. Call me coffee. I have been through the mill. Call me strawberry-bed. Every-! body picks on me. Call me calendar. My days are numbered! Call me chimney. I've got the flue. Call me glass. They all see through me. OtDw stamp. I'm in for a licking. Call me rose. I just can't help rambling around. Advertising Merchants. Monroe Enquirer. The merchant who docs not adver tise in his own town in order to his own wares fails. Advertising, however, may be other than news paper advertising. The fact that we qualify our first sentence by the second is because newspaper adver tising predominates all other kinds to such an extent that many mer chants think that advertising means, newspaper advertising. We strongly urge all merchants to advertise, whether they use our columns, or not. We believe that in this newspaper the average local merchant can get better results than through any other sources, cost con sidered, but if our merchant friends do not think so we will not quarrel about it. There was a time when getting business was largely based on kiu ship, friendship and pull. That day has passed in modern towns. Where modern cities grow business goes to the hustler, and the public impres sion of a hustler is mainly, based on large, display type frequently ob served- Princess Mary, Viscountess I)as celles, is sinsistent upon having plen ty of light and space in her homes, and is keen on _the elimination of dust-traps and on'labor-saving house hold appliances. The Princess pre fers color schemes wit'.i light tones, especially ivory and pastel shades, and she loves the daintiness of chintz covers and such pretty things. Late ly she ordered a dainty parchment licquer suite for her bed room at Egerton House, which typifies her inclination towards new and modern furniture.; / It is claimed for the women of the Shetland Islands that they are the best knitters in the world. Tra dition has it that the pioneers of their handicraft were some Spanish \ sailors who were .stranded in the islands after the disaster to the Span ish Armada, and from whom the women learned the fine art of knit ting. Weather conditions during the first half of February were all that could be aaked for by the promoters of the numerous winter sports carnivals in ; northern New York and New Eng land. ■ Mrs. Bettie Bleaks, of Meridian. \ who was appointed a court bailiff for the recent aeaaion of the county serve in that capacity. ,•' sir;"' Sroblems The Herald had to meet i changing from an average paper in a tranquil town of 100,000 to the dominant paper at the center of the most hectic real estate boom this country ever knew.

He waa j publishing from 60 to 8# pages a I day. and paper requirements were heavy.

Kinston, March 3.—Charges of “causing disturbance" lodged against Otis Cox and ercy Stroud have been dismissed by Magistrate Kenneth Fc*»cue here following a hearing in which Hubert Thompson principal I of the school at Woodington, accused | the defendants of creating trouble on . i the Yx-hool grounds- The justice to- I day said he had advised Thompson | | to resign because his usefulness ns a ' , | teacher in the community had been i destroyed by the incident.

Thompson preferred i 'barges against them. The magis ’ trate said the affair was trival and jchould not have been brought into court. “It was just the joke of two j rural youths,” he said. , j - It Is Indeed “Surpassingly Strange.” Monroe Enquirer. i A Chicago mail order house is re ceiving much free advertising from j ; the newspapers within the paht few weeks. This mail < rder house has has established a "Foundation” and its stunt is to offer prizes for essays on good roads, for plays, etc. News papers of the United States are un | wittingly giving this mail order house ' many time more free publicity value | \ than is being “put out” for “free ( prises.” It's surpassing strange that' ; newspapers will advocate trade-as ! home, charge home merchants fog .-their advertisements, and then un consciously give free publicity to a Chicago mail order house.

Crowell’s Plant j Farm ; East Corbin Street LA GRIPPE I From evvrywbare jurt now proptr j 1 sre talking much of eoM* and “grip.” < There ia no way of knowing now 1 what serious complications may dc velop. neither is there any way of knowing just how prevalent the con dition may be. It w sufficient, how- ] ever, to know that "grip" is causing ' tremendous disturbance in school, In ] business and in the home. There is a group of bacteria wiiich infest the upper respiratory tract and 1 ' produce a group of disease of which 1 colds, grippe, influensa and pneu ! inonia are the most common. There is a close relationship between the I symptoms called by these various names, as there is a close relationship between the different special forms of bacteria whicli make up the group, i La grippe is the French word and re | fers to an infection in the respiratory I tract. The bacillus is found in the ! nasal and bronchial secretions. Any ' physical condition which lowers the bodily resistance or decreases the protective function of the mucous membranes predisposes to grippe. It may be fatigue, or chilling of some part of the body or under nuorish ment that deprives the mucous mem- i fcrane of the nose and throat of its 1 normal blood supply and permits ] these germs wkkh at this season are i very prevalent to gain a foothold and ' become implanted in the system. Im- i mediately they get implanted they be- i gin multiplying and eliminating into { the system a toxin which produces i the symptoms. Gripps is very easily transmitted 1 from one person to another by means of coughing and sneezing or from handling bankerrtiiefs or linen soiled by the sick person. The price of freedom from gripi>e is eternal vigi lance in avoiding contact with per sons who have it and In being espe cially careful to avoid unusual debili tating fatigue or chilling of the body as by wet feet or inadequate cloth ing. Although grippe is very common and most persons quickly get well, it often is quite treacherous and leads to serious complications. Immediate ly going to bed is the best treatment for the patient and thie also protects others from the infection. DOMESTIC SCIENCE.

An act gracious and kindly and altogether characteristic of warm Southern sympathy la reported from Wilmington; N. C. The Ring’s Daughters of that city have buried in their own plot in Bellevue Ceme tery a Union veteran, E. O. Cole, ninety-two years old. who died in Wilmington without relatives, friend less and alone. The old soldier was a survivor of the storming of Fort Fisher; he lost , a finger in that battle. When he died I tl>e commander -of the local canjp of United Confederate. Veterans had ah application filed for his hurl 1 in the National "Cemetery. But by rea son, it appear*, of '.technicalities hav ing to do with formal credentials permission for interment in the Nk tional Cemetery was refused- The alternative was a pauper's grave. Three hdiirs before the body was to have been committed to Pot- Field the King’s Daughter learned of these-safi circumstances. They insisted at I once that other ar ratigeraentti must, be made. When the Unlcu soldier was buried with tUfi Stars i and Stripes above bis gcaVe in 'the plot owned by tie Southern women he had as n guard of. honor old wearers of the gray, led by Dr. A. M. Baldwin, com mander of Cape Fear Camp, United Confederate Veterans. ■ "One cannot reflect upon that scene in Bellevue," "The Wi’ming toh Btar” says, “without feeling a lump in (he throat and a mist before the eyes, no more fitting symbol of a reunited nation could be conjured by the mind of man. The brief religious rites were more than a eulogium for him who was no more- They were, indeed, a benediction for the splendid .spirit of Americanism that pre cludes the holding of rancor and the harboring of bate.” “Wp only hope," remarks "The Wilmington Dispatch," at the close of a feeling editorial, “that some far-stranded veteran of the South when he goes to his last reward will be as tenderly treated above the | Mason and Dixon line as his brother |of the opposing lines was treated , here. And we feel certain, if our ! Northern brethren know the fact* in this case, he wm.be." This expres sion of confidence,' we believe, does no more than juetice to the aenti went of the people of the North. Writing to Her Huaaand. Monroe Enquirer.
