MASTER CLEANERS
Are They Responsible?
Any “Master” Cleaner is indeed responsibe. He must be so in order to gat credentials
from The National Association of Dyers & Cleaner? of the United States rnd Canada, the
organization back of ail “Masters.”
Co-operative knowledge, financial ability, ownership of his own plant, and spotless re
pute—all these kre necessary to open Association portals to a cleaner.
An exacting organization to join, but decidedly well worth joining.

Salisbury, July 2.—“l’ve got a 38-

mna, to Plainclothes Officer Reid S.
Monroe, of the Salisbury police force
list night as he spied : the latter’s pistol,
not knowing that he was addressing an
officer.
“Let’s see your gun,” said the officer
awl Poley pulled a pistol from his hip
pocket and handed it to Officer Monroe.
“I’U just tuke it and you too, and let
you tell the judge about It,” the plain
clothes officer fold his new acquaintance,
and he is now in jail awaiting n hearing
which is set for Saturday at his re
quest.
The world's approval is cancelled by

Washington, July 4.—British attempts
to create a world impression that China
is in revolt against foreigners in general,
rather than against two particular nat
ionalities, are fretting some Far Eastern
experts in the State Department consid
erably.
Their information is that Chinese hos
tility is directed almost solely afcainsd:
the British and Japanene, that leaders
of the movement have gone out of their
way to express friendship for Americans
and that they have been surprisingly
successful In cheating a similar feeling
among the ignorant mass of their coun
trymen. who can’t tell white men apart
unless they're told.
* * f’J
It naturally isn't to Britain's or Ja
pan's interest to have it appear that they
especially are the objects of Chinese ha
tred.
It not only raises a question as to the
reason for such an attitude toward them,
and them alone, but might prevent them
from securing other nationalities'—Amer
ica’s mainly— support, if they should de
cide to adopt strong repressive measures
on a large scale. / ’
Japan, her contacts with the western
world relatively limited, can’t “doctor”
Oriental news very effectively, but Eng
land, largely in control of its sources, is
succeeding extremely well at it.
That there’s trouble the British free
ly admit—even emphasise—but no more
for them than for anybody else, accord
ing to . the dispatches they let get
through—dispatches which, in the absence
of much other information, are quite
generally passed along and reprinted
here, which is just what the British
want. ' — <Trj r

The worried officials, themselves pret

Mistaken public sometimes make it
hard for governments to stick to the pol

Just now it serves Britain’s purpose
to present to the Occident a picture of a

against all civilixuti.on.

For instance, when some roughneck
citizen of any other country thah her

and he’s drowned—quite a common occur

But if an Englishman does the same
thing, he's a "foreigner”—that's all.

All over the world local native-British

In South America it never ceases.
There’s no out-and-out clumsy misrepre

A “Cow Minded” Farmer In Stanly.
Stanly News-Herald. "~~
111 The Mecklenburg Tim A last week,
Sir. Zeb Green makes the following com
ment wl(ich will be of interest to readers
of the Stanly Newa-Herald:
‘IJ. C. Nance, a -‘cow-minded' farmer,
"bo lives near Stanfield, in Stanly coun
ty, has a fine herd of Jersey cows. Mr.
Nance's daughter remarked that the mem
bers of the family-tiaxe long ago learned
that they cqulduit risk him in a horse

care of himself anywhere in a cow trade.
R. E. McDowell, of Mecklenburg, evi
dently ranks in a class with the Stanly
county man when it comes to protecting
his interests iu cow track's. Tuesday
Mr. McDowell was wearing a sinilo of
abnormally large proportions. ‘I feel
like an absent or lost member of the fam
ily had returned,' said the noted Meck
lenburg Jersey breeder. A fine cow which
he sold to a Virginia man was for some
reason placed on the market for sale.
Mr. McDowell sent in a bid for sllO and
that bid brought the cow back home.
When it is explained that he sold the
cow for $460. and was sorry he sold her,
and then bought Her back for $l7O .von
can undcLtaiid why he was smiling when
the temperature was too high to produce
auy voluntary smiles.”'

Sciential ( ail* Man Idiot.
“Idiot Man'' is the title of a book just
published by Charles Riehet, a French
scientist, who won the Xoble physiologi

being of high intelligence, but a super
fool. In his review of al 1 the races,

pierce their nostrils as do black men,”
the scientist declares. “Spaniels, have
more sense than to stick feathers in
their hair as red men do. The lowest
animal would turn away in disgust if
anyone tried to get it to smoke opium
or to eat rotten fish, as yellow men do.
The white man is befogged by ridiculous
ideas and hindered by voluntary follies—
