The common house-fly, is no less prolific. One fly now can multiply to more than a million within the next few i months. Obviously then we should, do our fly swatting early. But more effective than swatting individual flies at this season, in the j editor's opinion, is effort to elimi- j nate breeding places for flies. If there were no garbage, carrion, and filth scattered about there would be no flies. Everything flung careless ly out the back door to decompose may become a breeding place for the world's worst disease carrier. Open dumps, debris scattered about is everybody's business, for disease flies have no respect for boundary lines. It behooves all of us, therefore, to see to it that our town is kept clean and free from fly hatchery. Let us all take extreme care about our own property, and then insist that our neighbors exercise the same de gree of thoughtfulness. VALUE OF ROMANCE Ennui, morbid introspection, and a sense of the futility of existence overtakes one occasionally. You wonder what it is all about—this am bition to accumulate money and trouble, this turmoil and grind of a mechanical age, this absence of a common body of ideas and ideals to which one may dedicate one's ef forts. When such a mood captures your spirit, there is one avenue of escape.! Go to your bookcase at home or to the public library, and find therein a bit of delightful romance. Delve into the works of one of the old mas- i ters, such as Dumas, or Scott or any one of hundreds of kindred writers. \ Again life becomes a glorious ad-*j venture. Things that seem squalid: disappear. There are brave deeds j done in the King's service, and when the hour to retire approaches you find yourself reluctant to return to ( this commonplace existence with its fiscal problems and stupid routine, I but still you will return to it with j pulse that beat a little more rapidly j and an eye a little quicker for the | beauty and color that life can pre-! sent. . * %. ft" * * WALKING AS A SPORT With the passing of Edward Pay- j son Weston a few weeks ago the . period when walking was regarded as J a god sport came definitely to an end. It would be difficult to raise j great public interest today in walk-j ing marathons, in hiking as a com-; petitive enterprise. Today we mustj have sports that are sensational. This is a hardboiled era, not greatly different from the times that pre ceded the fall of the Roman empire. We will assemble by the hundreds of thousands to watch a few super athletes exhibit their prowess, but we show little inclination to develop sports that are for the many. Walking was once a source of re creation for all and a sport availa ble to large numbers. That a few like Weston had attained amazing power in this, does not change the fact that it was once a pleasant rec reation for the many and today al most a lost art for everyone. Of course the writer realizes that the pendulum in all things swings from one extreme to another. The day may eome when groups will go out on hikes, when everyone can be interested in walking as a sport, and when the open road will be some thing more than an invitation to burn gasoline and wear out tires. 1 PREPARE FOR | THE WEEVIL! ! The farmers seem to have be come quite indifferent as to what ! the boll weevil may do to their cot ton crop this summer, although at tempts have been made to put them ' on their gaprd by State agencies, and in South Carolina, particularly, by the boll weevil's arch enemy, David R. Coker, the Hartsville farmer. Mr. I Coker, viewing the menace with alarm, is moved* to send out a special warning that will apply to the North Carolina cotton area in general. His warning is incorporated in the shape of a press bulletin and is to this ef fect: "WeeVil infestation in this section is heavier than it has ever been at this season, practically all of the April cotton has a very large weevil | population waiting for the early j squares and in some places the young cotton also has a heavy infestation, i Unless we have exceptionally dry | weather from about the middle of j this month until the latter part of July, these farmers in this section who do not poison their old cotton at once and their young cotton about 10 days or two weeks hence are not going to make a crop. According to the past eight years' experience there are five chances to three that the weevil will do heavy damage. "The cost of materials for the early applications of poison will run under 20 cents per acre. Can any farmer afford not to carry out the early poisoning program when his materials will cost him npt over 75 cents per acre and probably less than 50 cents per acre? Now is the criticel time. Do not delay unless you are willing to swap half * your cotton crop for a million boll wee vils." The farmer who is minded to pro tect his crop from weevil ravages will take heed.—Charlotte Observer. j PICNIC FOR TELEPHONE OPERATIVES ;' I On Friday evening the operatives j | from Forest City, Caroleen, Ruther- ( fordton and Shelby will enjoy their , 'annual picnic to be held at Pine View j Lake near Shelby. This is indeed a most enjoyable occasion when all j the operatives get together and en- ' joy a big picnic dinner and also to i tell of their "trials and tribulations" \ in answering their many thousands j of calls during the day and night. ! We want to "brag" just a little here j on the efficient force we have here, j who are always ready and prompt i in giving us service. Sometimes we are cross and angry and when we i call, sometimes just think of an oper- j ator as a part of the machinery, but ! there is nothing too good to say of i our force who are ever alert, some- 1 times saving our property from fire. 1 or calling the Doctor quickly for us J when we have a dear one sick. We [ ! hope you have a happy time. 1 : i 1 AUTOMOBILES DRIVEN BY BROTHERS COLLIDE j Richard Moore, his wife and two ' i children, of near Oakland, were j 1 1 bruised and one of the children ser- j iously injured Saturday afternoon,' 1 about five o'clock, when the Ford in \ which they were returning to their ;' home was wrecked in a head-on col- , lision with a Chevrolet driven by i £ Will Moore, a brother. ! c i r The accident occured when Will j Moore, who was alone in a Chevro- ■' let sedan, coming toward Forest j 1 City, attempted to pass a car at J Harris Oil Company, and forced his 1 brother off the road. The impact of ( the two cars practically demolished the machines. Richard Moore and his family 1 iwere taken to the Rutherford Hospi- 1 tal where they were given an exam j ination and their - injuries attended j to. Will Moore was given a trial- in Recorder's court Monday, there be ing three or more charges against !him. He was given; a six months ' road sentence, suspended on condi- I tion that he does not violate the j prohibition laws for a period of one j I year, and a small fine. •LEWIS FAMILY REUNION SUNDAY, JUNE 30 ! II Rutherfordton, June 17. —The an • i nual Lewis reunion will be held Sun j day, June 30, at the home of Repre sentative George Biggerstaff, four ; j miles west of Rutherfordton, on 5 j Route No. 20.

MELODY" COMING i TO HORN'S THEATRE 1 i I i 7 1 This All Talking Sensation 1 Will Be Here Saturday ■ j and Monday r I ; "The Broadway Melody," an ela i! borate production filmed by Metro ; j Goldwyn-Mayer with all-talking : singing and dance effects, is the at ■ traction which will be at Horn's Thea jtre, Saturday and Monday, June 22 t'and 24 It is the most vividly por ; j trayed drama of back stage life to ! i reach the screen, with all the glam . ' our, tinsel and clatter for which life ■; behind the scenes is famous, repro duced in truthful and vivid manner. The story, an original by the cele brated playwright, Edmund Gould ing, relates the sad yet humorous experience of a small town "sister i act" that looks like material for the | Follies but flops in rehearsal. Thru 'i it all runs a humanly interesting j romance, such as is carried on only lin the average life of show people, ! whose chief aim in living is to en | tertain the public for which they per ! form. I The dramatic climax is a most heart-gripping episode, for after struggling to keep her "little sister" from wandering off the straight and narrow, the good Samaritan sees true 1 love take its course by sacrificing her jown lover. Anita Page and Bessie jLove appear as the "sister act," and | Charles King, musical comedy star. ;as the helpful song-and-dance-man lover. Kenneth Thomson plays the idle rich and handsome stage door John jnie, who endeavors to gain the at tentions of Miss Page and is the ulti mate cause of the cyclonic climax, j Mary Doran, Eddie Kane and others ;of note are in the supporting cast. | Harry Beaumont, responsible for j "Our Dancing Daughters" and other successes, directed the new produc- tion, which is interspersed through out with specially written musical scores. DR. AYERS CONDUCTING REVIVAL IN ASHE Dr. W. A. Ayers, pastor of the First Baptist church left Monday for West Jefferson, where he will hold a two week's revival meeting. In his absence R. R.
