I Mr. Mauney ia a man who gives liberally of his time for both civic and religious affairB, and with him at the helm, scouting should go far during the next twelve months. Boy Scouts, you have the leader, | and it's up to you to accomplish big things. WATER INVESTIGATION The Herald Is glad to see the "water stealing" talk reach an official Investigation. We have heard the rumors and accusations tor sev eral years, but paid very little attention to them. At the conclusion of the investigation the findings will be made public, so that citizens may know exactly the situation, and not have to rely on street talk or rumors The character of members of the Ootfncll arb .exemplified by their desire and unxiousness to have this investigation made. i IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION The Men's Bible Class of Central Methodist Church had a supper hon ortng Jake Early, big league baseball player. We were happy to attend and take part at this occaslorfor more reasons than one. Jake Early is a Kings Mountain, boy who has made a name for himself in the baseball world, and he justly deserv ed the honor shown him. We were also glad to witness a religious institution pay tribute and honor to an athlete. This we think is a step In the right direction, and are happy to add oui? congratulations to the men who sponsored the event in the spirit of good fellowship, which was one of the teachings of our Master , Corn accounted for more than one fourth of the total farm value o? all crops produced In the United States in 1939. according to a recent estimate of the U.

APRIL Dear Mr. Lynch: ? In America, April is the outstanding month for wars to be declared. As you know this present war that is raging over the greuter part o* .he earth with its tnan-crazed death dealing blows is daily growing more wide spread, held back by bad wea the? conditions. Ice. and snow and lack of preparedness. In America, lighting conditions across the pond will improve in early spring when j the ice and snow - melts and the i earth warms up. If America gets through April probably we will kill some more time and drift along another year, but I predict that by April the twen lietli America will be forced into the bloodiest war man has ever known. This is my honest forecast. I wisn 1 could see it otherwise tho"? I think most or our rolks who have studied j undent history from before the I'.lrth of the Christ on through tho traces of modern history will agree with the writer that universal war is now knocking at the door. England. with the man-power of America, will win in the end but rly era will run red with the blood ot mothers' sons long before the finai end. It England goes down nothing then to hold the axis powers back the Atlantic Ocean is only a puddle in the road with 6,000 German fifth columnists all readv working under cover undermining the life of our government. They now are setting tho traps, Germany, Italy, Japan, and probably Russia will spring the trigger and Invade America. We have here in the forty eight slates. 45 million men and women under fed. thinly clad, nine million children' under nourished, and a grand total of 54 million and these are to make up a part of the front lives in future national defense. In order to meet and compete wit* this future crisis we must build strong bodies and minds at the same time. Surely no one should be sllowed to go hungry or ragged In. his great nation. Its time we were getting wise to- this appalling situation. Its a dark picture, indeed! I<et's turn It to the wall for the muinrni nnn nope that soon universal peace will reign on this good olft earth. No doubt this gigantic world struggle will bring about a better world order hut not for old man war hawk Herr Hitler and hU bunch. H. Y. Belk. v Oastonla. N. C February 14:h. 1941 Mr. Havwood K.

"Too clialr, he commented to Mrs. Bingham that It was too bad he could not entertain, since he had no assistant. Mrs. Bingham agreed. A bit later, and with the delight that joins a brilliant idea, Tony suggested that Mrs, Barnes would be a fine substitute, since she had worked for him before. And Anita was caught. Tony's special stunt for the evening involved hypnosis and the idea of post-suggestion, whereby the one hypnotized obeys com| mauds given in the trance only after the trance is broken ? and then only If the subject is willing. IVVt nn Anita wna Mr Vandcrpool asked for a few bars of "Yankee Doodle". Mr. Bingham asked for a lit cigarette; Mrs. Bingham, for a rose from & nearby vase. Tony asked for a kiss. The stunt worked perfectly. Don and Anita made a bit of fuss, to be sure, but "Tony beamed. He knew just a bit more. And when Mrs. Bingham brought up the problem created by the oncun married couple ? Tony and Lola? because there were twelve people and but six bedrooms, Tony knew even more. He was about to speak, when Anita interrupted. "J have an idea, why don't the gentlemen double up and we girls do the same?" "The very suggestion I was goin? to make!" Tony smilingly exclaimed. "But Mrs. Barnes and Lola can sleep together and I can share Mr. Barnes' room. Then you married folks won't be Inconvenienced at all!" Anita agreed very heartily, which Tony noticed, and Don almost drew blood when he bit his lip. When they had arrived at their room, Tony and Don entered Into a slight altercation. Jiu-jitsu seemed to have several points over brute strength, and Don suffered considerably. He did, In fact, rather badly wrench his arm. While Don could only groan at the thought of h i s consistently delayed honeymoon, Tony came to his rescue by promising to blame It on a slippery rug...

"Tony, its a pretty cheap way. to get revenge.' Bringing Lola uy here!" "Why, Moms!" "Moms? Never minu that! I know all about Lola and the Connecticut house." Tony was delighted at her admission of joalousy. "Did she tell you?" he arked. "You know, she was only there once." . "It doesn't make any difference!" "Now wait a minute!" Tony interjected. "You've had your any!" she suddenly exclaimed. "Now let me have mine) I divorced you to give you your freedom ? and for no other reason. And you've found happiness with Lola. Please. Tony, stop "I. haven't b?%en persecuting you. I know H must have seemed that way ? but I was clumsily fighting for, happiness.
