Ksnnspo’is, May 25.—Realizing thet public speaking is not a loot art, official* of ihe vaiious civic organizations of the city are now laying plans for annual contests to determine the best speakers, essay writers, etc., among the children of the city. Four worthwhile medals or pru-.es in some form will be given to the f v.r youths who the judges of the occa sion select as the best - deelaimor. ho.-t debater, best reader, and best i .sayist. The literary societies will be the me dinm through which the plan will be in augurated. Each society will be called upon to take part in funrishing a contest ant. The contest will probably be held during the early part of the Fall, so any boy or girl wishing to train himself for the finals will have ample time. It is seen that the above will be of interest to the youth of Kannapolis high school. During the past few years the men who have been able to speak while standing before a body of people have been looked up to for aid in putting on campaigns. During the Liberty Loan drives. Red Cross campaigns and numer ous other similar drives made daring the World War, thousands of public speak ers were in demand. The schools and universities all ready realize that jio matter wdiat profession a man may fol low, he will be called upon sometime to appear in pblic as a speaker. This Week at the Y. M. C. A’s.

CABS PROMISE TO BE IN THE 1025 RACE Davis and Fields Are Let Out—“Smdky” Johnson to Succeed Fowler as Field General. Having tasted defeat in the opening J games under the active managerial reins of Fowler, local baseball followers of the Cabarrus Twilight league cellarites, are now focusing increased attention on the team the “Smoky” Johnson, newly elected field general, will turn out. Johnson has had wide experience as an athletic lpanager. He piloted Kan napolis high school teams in 1923, 1924 and 1925. Johnson also led the foot ball and basketball teams that represent ed the local high during the 1924-25 sea son. There is no doubt but that Johnson will put the necessary pep into this club, for he is a scrapper on the ball field and does not believe he is licked until the last ball is caught. So he will find the Cabarrus fans backing him to the limit as long as be keeps up his usual pep. To eliminate shaky spots in the in field Johnson has released Davis and Fields. He let it be known that several other players may expect their pink slips before another wee kpasses. Dellinger Signs With Bleachers. The brightest star to drop into the Bleachery lineup during the “offi sea son” was the youngster, Clarence Del linger, former star high school outfielder. Dellinger is reported to have a wealth of ball playing brains and ability. He is expected to strengthen the outfield. mJC M ii at..

Baiting the Bridegroom. Rome. Alay 25.—One of Italy's best known and most aristocratic clubs will have nothing to do with :i. member who so far forget himself as to lead a bride to the altar. The organization is strict ly a bachelors’ club 1 , and for a member to lapse into matrimony is regarded as a most serious offense. As soon as his intention becomes known he is solemnly tried in the club court, with the presi dent as judge, when he is allowed to plead in extenuation of his offence. On the skill of his pleading and the quality of the excuses he tan make depends his fine, which may range from SIOO to $250. This is devoted to a sumptuous dinner, at which all the members appear in mourning garb. At i,ts conclusion the president reads the sentence ol expul ■ siou, and the delinquent is led from the i club premises to an accompaniment of groans and lamentations. Every member upon joining the club is required to take a solemn vow of life long bachelordom, and those who prove false to their vow have their names added to the “roll of traitors.” which is promi nently displayed in the smoking room of the club.

Monday, May 25, 1925 Trading at Home. Raleigh News and OBserver. The North Carolina Alerehants Asso ciation meeting in Charlotte hears re ports of a fine year's work while the individual merchants are exchanging sim ilar reports of their own business. The merchants of North Carolina are reaping the benefits of co-operation. The day of cut-throat competition has given way to business ethics in which compe tition is confined to the quality of service I performed. That leads up to a tiling which most of the local merchants are aroused about —mail order houses. President Dixon in his address to the merchants told them that the mail order business is in creasing. But he offered no relief in the way of legislation. His sole solu tion, he said, is in the merchants them selves. , Said he: “You may pass all the legislation, is sue all the ‘trade at home’ propaganda you wish, blit that is not going to make folks trade at home, unless the home merchants improve their stores, give their customers what they want, and when they want it and at a price they should pay. “As patriotic citizens it is our duty to improve our stores, increase the effi ciency of our employes, improve our serv ice and. by persistent advertising, en deavor to make it more attractive for our home folks to trade with us and. by helping the home merchants, to help themselves.” This is good advice from a man who knows. Though pressure has been brought up on by her many friends, who fear for her health, Lady Astor declares Rbe has no intention of retiring from Parlia ment.
