PAGE SIX DINNER STORIES Conductor, to woman with .seven children—Are these all your children? Mother—No; I had to leave the other three at home ‘‘Not happy? With so beautiful a bride? Why, man. you got the girl who was the talk of the town!” "So I discover.” Mrs. New had called at the grocery store to register a complaint. “I order ed a doren oranges from you today,” she said sharply, “and you only sent me me 11. How wan that?" "Well, ma'am.” explained the grocer; "one of them was so bad that I took the liberty of throwing it away for you.” “Just a minute, please." called the clerk at the postoffice window. "This let ter needs another stamp.” "Why? asked the girl who had left* it. "It's too heavy for two cents.” "Oh. all right,” agreed the girl, delv ing into her purse, "but I should think: all another stamp would do would be to make it still heavier.” Jake—Say. Bill, an auto ran over Jim on the bridge. Bill—Oh, heavens, was he hurt? Jake—No, he was under the bridge, fishing. Dave—l've got a present for my' girl's 21st birthday. His Dady—Well, why not give it her? You've been a fool, hanging on to it for 10 years. This was after the lovers’ quarrel. "I can never forgive you,” he cried. "Last night you said I was a lobster -But. my dear." she replied, coyly, “you must remember how crazy I am about lobster.” ... With a glad cry he took her in his arms. SALE OF LAND FOR CITY TAXES.

I 111 addition he twirled one of the best, league games seen in many a day. blank-j ing the Cannons. 1 to 0, and allowing but two b'ngles. Not a Cannon reached third base. . Harrison's "ere" as a hitter of note fell considerably after whiffing three times , on Parker's hooks. The lone score came in the third stanza when Smith took a walk; L.

Midway applied tile emergency braves on tlie fast moving Cabs today while Walters was in top-poteh form, holding the Cabs to four licks, and one run, the sub-station boys wiuuing 2 to 1. Harvey Peeler, late of Ursinus College, played a highly creditable game for the winners. He figured in both markers the Midways registered. Since joining the league two weeks ago Peeler has hit safely in every time at bat. He has faced the opitosing twirlers fifteen times. Funderburke contributed the featured fielding act when lie made a beautiful stop of Cavin's hot liner behind third base in the fourth inning and whipped the ball across the diamond to Thornburg, peggiug the Midway runner out. Thornburg was susiiended indefinitely by President John S. Carpenter, after he hud been ousted from 'the game for dis puting the umpire's decision. Box score: Midway ABR H PO A P.

The Bleachery nine will be afforded the opportunity to cinch the rag in the Twilight league today when it clashes with the Midway club at the Cannon Pa rk.

Should the Midways triumph, the other clubs will have a chance to tie play-off for first hon ors will be staged iu the next fortnight in the event the tie materializes. Jimmy Efird will toe the slab for the league leaders while Bavin will probably be sent to the hill for Midway. At the Cabarrus field the Cabs will be host to the cellar occupants, , Gannon. Fields will do the hurling for the Can nons and Charlie Brown, latest addition to the Cabarrus staff, will fiing them over for the fighting Funderburke work ers. J. , Why the State Law? Charlotte Observer, People motoring through' North Caro lina are moved to wonder every once in a while what’s the use of a State law regulating speed out in the country, in suburbs and through villages. Some towns post “Speed Limit 12 Miles.” Others are a little more liberal nnd make the limit 18 miles. And what’s more, travelers are held up by local poliee and made to pay. On the Hender son County section of the State road from Hendersonville to Asheville, signs are posted. “Bpeed Limit 30 Miles.” The State allows 35 miles, but motor cops are on the road to see that motorists do not go as fast as the State allows. It looks as If there should be deliverance of some kind from Raleigh in adjustment of the speed law situation. If a county or town can enforce laws contrary to the laws laid down by the State, then the public ought to be ofl ciafly informed. It is a simple question, whether the State hw holds over any law a county or town may choose to make.

Blowing Rock, July 29.—The face of old Grandfather Mountain is becoming | very dry nnd wrinkled, not with old age I but for the fact that there has been lit tle if any rain here for the past two ] months. Springs that have never failed j with a steady flow of good cool water I j now refuse to even give any signs of a flow. People who. have come from far and near to enjoy the cool climate of J the Blue Ridge and her refreshing , water® are almost prone to think that j the reputation of Watauga's excellent summer climate is only a myth while others who have been coming up for the past years are qnable to recall anything of the kind in the history of the re sort. It is dry beyond a shadow <Tf doubt and unless rain sets iu within a few more days, itcople will have to spend their vacations elsewhere or be patient anil willing to go down the mountain side for their means of quenching thirst. Slimmer clouds have been noted in the distance, few have accepted the cordial invitational pleas of the in habitants, nnd the hope for ram con tinues to be rather vague. There is one class of people who are evidently prospering because of the long drought. They are the plumbers, nnd these plumbers happen to be citizens of the village. It has been rather hard for the foreign toilers to come in on a share of the spoils because the local men are on the job with the right spirit. Ditches are being dug over many paths and pipes being pot down to carry water from those springs that have not as yet gone dry. Six days a week do these plumbers labor with the result that Blowing Rock has quite an intricate water system that will prove of great advantage in the future should the clouds above fail to drench the soil with moisture euough to replenish the cooling springs. Trees and the like have long ago ap peared in dull autumn attire. It seems as if the foliage has spent all effort in drawing the moisture from the ground and now that there is nothing left but dry soil, the leaves are ■ falling as if -shamed by heir failure ot obtain enough H 2 O. Crops arc showing signs that are quite discouraging to the farmer. Fruits of the various trees are dwindled in size, not to be compared with the yield of last season. Still tourist come and go as if noth ing is wrong. Hundreds come for the week-end endeavoring to find that same refreshing environment that has charac terized this section in years past. Auto mobiles from every section of the coun try assist in dusting the pedestrians as he goes on his way. Business seems to be about as good as ever. The hotels are accommodating many some remaining for a week-end while others unpack for a longer period of time. WHOLE WORLD CRYING FOR NEIGHBORLY HELP Missionary Lender Declares People Ev erywhere Are Ready For Christ. Lake Junaluska, July 28. —One thing Christian jieople m«st do is to take Christ more .seriously, declared Dr. W. \V. Pinson, of Nashville, outstanding missionary leader of America and the orient, speaking to a thousand persons at the Lake Junaluska Methodist Southern assembly. "The problem the Christian church faces today,” Dr. Pinson contin ued. "is to make people of every land: believe we are as good as we think we are.- It is not more elaborate creeds, but more activity in living the faith we pro fess. Every nation has its eyes set upon the Christian church in closest scrutiny, and in many quarters they are saying that they like our gospel, but they don’t like the way we are practicing it. "Jesus isn't under criticism anywhere in the world.” lie asserted pleading for an interpretation of religion in terms of love and service to all the nations of the world. As a background for his address he took words from the 10th chapter of Luke, "Who Is My Neighbor?" As the man who had suffered and lay stricken by the side of the road was the man who needed n neighbor, so from every quarter of the world today, he said, comes the cry for the helping hand of a neighbor. “Mexico wants a friend who will not crit icize. South America needs sosmeone to stand by her side with a helping hand. China maddened by the reddening of her soil by the blood of her students, is ask ing for fair and just treatment, and Ja pan with the poison of the exclusion act rankling in her heart, is asking 'who is my neighbor?' He begged that the an swer to these calls for helpful service might be the answer of the Good Samar itan. who set the world a standard for neighborliness. He declared that the missionary pro gram of Christian churches was being hampered ou account of financial difficul ties and that practically every Protest ant mission board had decreased its mis sionary appropriations in the face of the fact that statistics show that savings bank deposits and investments have in creased and people are giving more gen erously for benevolences at home than ev er before. The evangelistic churches in the United States, during the past year, according to Dr. Pinson, spent $500,000,- 000 for benevolent work at home and ♦40.090,00 abroad. In the Methodist Episcopal Church. Sjoutii. he said, the proport’ou of giving was sls to keep our selves Christkms and bne rlollar to make the rest of the world Christian. Method ists of the south, he dedareed are giving one-tenth of one per cent, of their in come to save 40 millions of heathen for which that denomination is responsi ble. But if Christians of America fail to support tbe : r missionary responsibility, the native Christians will make good, he asserted, although failure to receive need ed help will make the light long and try ing. He begged that American Christians stand by their missionaries and send more of them. Prince Leave* Africa. Capetown, Union of South Africa, July 29-—Prince of Walts and party today departed from South Ameridan on board H. M. S.
