X \t Here and There . . Haywood E. Lynch) There Is one man In Kings Mountain who still sleeps in an old fash, icn "night shirt" and shaves with a straight razor. He is none other than P.- D. Herndon, the teller of good jokes. Today, Thanksgiving, everyone should pause and really give thanks for what they have. Regardless of .o you are there IS something to t~ thankful for. Each Thanksgiving day I think of the old truism, "I worried that I had no shoes until I met a man who had no feet.' Yes, ?ach and everyone of us has many blessings to be thankful for. One of the biggest things I . am thankful for la that I am a citizen of Kings Mountain, N. c., The Best Town In The 8tate. I haven't seen much of His Hon. or, The Mayor lately. I saw him last week and he had been sick, I hope he hasn't had a set-back, hs has done tco good a job of running the business affairs of Kings Mountain to get sick on us. Here's more praise for that Ktnge Mountain Band. Last week we ear. ? - ? sl . :jis."I ,vu iu i in uuaunrui decora tlons, its full stocks of cholc? merchandise in all tts stores, and hopes you will visit and shop often in this trading center, of The Best Town in the State. The old "shop early" cry has doubtless become a bit tiresome to most shoppers, and t [particularly those who wait until the last minute to buy, but it may ' still be truthfully said that the persons who enjoy the Christmas season most are those who do their Christmas shopping early. By buying your Christmas presents early and buying them In Kings Mountain you assure your, self of a very, very pleasant and happy Yuletlde season. MAYBE GEORGE WON'T i However outworn It ma be, there's still a lot of truth in the * - viu vAprggsion tnai some people are willing to Just 'let George do H." Take this Cotton Christmas idea advanced by the National Cotton Council. Just about everybody will agree that it is a fine thing and that it will help boost cotton con-aupqption. / Mighty few folks in thn Belt won't admit that. cotton Roods are better than ever before. ' Even fewer will tell you that dozens- of fine cotton articles aren't suitable mm Christinas presents. Trouble is that there are some - folks who claim they want to make this Christmas a Cotton Christmas and that they certainly do like ; these new cotton gifts. And . then they go down town and bly evprr ? blessed thing under the sun hut eet 1 ton preheats. '1 These are the folks who want, to "let George do it."

While Robert is considerably fuddled, Benny gives Mm a clue to the murder, which Robert telephones to his paper.

"But ? but I don't understand!" "We don't under* tend, either." They showed him the paper witt his story. Robert stlU dfdn t under tend, couldn't Imagine when o< how he had sent in the story.

And ft's all a fake ? don't yoU understand?" "But it cant. be, Robert," she assured him. "The paper wouldn't print this Without verifying it Don't you see ? you must nave written this last night ? and you did a better Job drunk than those lugs can do while sober!" And she sent him packing off to the Olobe office to follow up his success, see The Broadwaylsh-looklng Floyd, he who had shared Qladys Fontaine's last hours with her at the houseboat, read Randall's scarehead story about the discovery of the houseboat and" decided that something must be done about this Mr. Randall before he pursued his researches too far.

In Russia it takes 80 percent to feed 100 percent. In Italy 55 percent feeds 100 percent. In England-France 40 percent feeds 100 percent. In Germany , about 36 percent feeds 100 percent. These figures have been compiled by a prominent Washington' economist wbo points out that in considering the- percent required to feed the whole, two factors must be remembered: the percentag must Include the number required to pro duce the actual food and also the number required to produce the' cost of Imports necessary to supplement domestic production. In England the production percen tnge has gone up. While labor lead ers probably hold a contrary view? economists argue tost restrictions imposed by union labor regulations are the cauae.

One big reason for one fleet Is that a divided fleet often leads to disaster. Then too, the Navy is afraid of local pride and local fear. For example, with war going on in Europe the Atlantic coast states might raise an awful pootest against transfer of the Atlantlo fleet to tne Pacific if trouble developed theft. Take Csarist Russia. The Csar had a Far East fleet, a Baltic fleet and a Black Sea Fleet. But the Jape sank the Far East fleet before the Baltic fleet arrived and 'then sank the Baltic fleet when it showed np. The combined Far East and Baltic fleets most probably could have whipped the Japs.
