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.

batters to face him ia a five inning fracas;

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. MeOnrnex
singled; and Smith swiped third, later
cmmtinng when Harrison fumbled the
ball in ail attempt to tag McCarnes.

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.

DROUGHT IS SEVERE
IN THE MOUNTAINS
Springs Thai Have Never Failed Be
- fore Now Are Dry.
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.

During epidemics, he is continually on the road. He draws heavily =

In return for his stock your doctor expects you to be business

He can’t stay in business unless you pay him.
S 3 Would you expect your grocer to wait indefinitely for his gj

When you fail to pay up promtly in the business world your
