Appears tonight.
Kannapolis, April G. —Seeking atone
incut for the !> to 0 loss suffered at
the hands of Rockwell high last week
the hard scrapping company of local
highs are undergoing some ripping
practices, preparing the way for the
return clash here Friday afternoon
witli the Rowan boys. The inelec will
be fought off at the Cabarrus park
and from all indications should be a
stringent affair.
Every local man is in top condi
tion and a tale entirely different from
that of last week should ■ result in the
r outcome. Red Fowler, JJic heavy j
i sockjng shortstop-pitcher, will receive
the call to display his slab wares for
Kannapolis, while Rhinehardt, who I
slow balled the locals out of triumph
last week, will again tackle the task
for the aliens.
“THE TOWELER’’ MAKES DE
BUT.
“The Toweler,” a brand new week
ly newspaper, will blossom forth here
Thursday afternoon in its initial ap
pearance to the local reading popu
lho(v It will be devoted entirely to]

Roads Approved By Local Board.

Raleigh, April 5. —On aecoufit of j
tlie numerous requests for mileage to'
the state highway system the com-1
mission will consider only those |
roads approved by the local govern-1
ing body, it was announced today I
following an all-day executive ses-,
siou of the commissioners here.
Local road governing bodies were J
reuiyested to stpte preference of th •
life of expenditure where more
than one road was recommended.
Contracts today were awarded for
111 of the 20 projects on which bids
were received March 20. Nine of
these projects are subject to a map
being twisted on the courthouse door
in the" respective counties showing i
proposed changes in route. If no ob
jection is made by the road govern
ing bodies of the county or town in
which the" changes occur, the eon
tracts- wij automatically become
valid. ...
Fenner and Beane Cotton Letter.
New Orleans, Apr. s.—Cotton was
strong and prices a shade higher to
day owing to the return or gains and
prospects of further delay in plant
ing. The map shows very little raw
fall outside northern sections from
Dallas to Chattanooga, but reports
gathered at midday told'of consider
able precipitation in southern and
central sections. The forecast is for
generally unsettled rainy weather in
the southern and eastern belt. Cables
were some easier tban due owing to
renewal of hedging in Liverpool and
domestic dry goods markets are re
ported to have quieted down. Trac
tion My alt branches of the trade are
waiting to see how the crop gets off.
The generally accepted view is that
both preparation and planting are
backward at the present time and
the market is more responsive to bad
weather than to favorable. Reports
were in circulation of the suspension
of an important Japanese house

! ork. April o.—Th, ‘‘rubbrr
neck wagons" stationed at * strategic
points throughout the city, chiefly in
tlie Broadway section, furnish an un
official but decisive tent of that “metro
politan air” which visitors desire and
comparatively few New Yorkers have.
The barkers for the, great busses,
decorated with Chinese lapterno as
a lure to visitors, watch the pawing
| throng with an eagle eye for potential
j sightseers. If the bnrker singles out
| ah individual (roii! the passersby for
j his “spiel” it is considered ail un
j failing sign of tlie bucolic air. Con
sequently it is the ambition of many
New Yorkers to pass the busses with
out being invited to “see Chinatowu
j while you're in the city.”
I Some New York names with a rural
sound: Inwood, Throggs’ Neck, Itiv
erdnle, Featherbed Lane, Gun Hill
Hoad and Hunt’s Point.
A general impression, formed from
talking with no less than six motion
picture actors and actresses on the
eve of their departure for California,
is that screen players prefer New
York to California.
The tears at- leaving the environs ]
of Broadway, however, in some in
stances suspiciously resembled the
croeodile variety, llt was revealed
that an actress who reluctantly gave
up her apartment here when Holly
wood called, formerly had a “west
const contract,” meaning that her ex
petises, including rent, were paid as i
long as she wep away from California.
It seems that no show house is’
really .complete without an art dis- j
play of some kind. Expressionistic !
paintings, in keeping with the type,
of plays offered on the stage of the :
New 'Playwrights- Theater!,- Are hung I
.ij». the theater’s balcony. j
“M<jv t rnp at-linicY’ is a
that convinces many visitors New
"Yorkers either have no homes or never
stay in them. Bpt one explanation
is tlie small size of most apartments,
and the other is that many “New
Yorkers" live miles out, of town, in
the suburbs.
Two French Deserters of the
Wcrld War have been living for
twelve years in the fol'est caves or
the wooded mountains. They .return
ed to their native village, Vollins,
and are facing a court-artiul.
Lift Off-No Pain!

! . Doesn’t hurt one bit 1 Drop a little
1 “Freezone” on an aching corn, in
stantly that corn stops hurting, then
shortly you lift it right off with
fingers.
Your .druggist sells a tiny bottlq of
“Freezone” soy a few cents, sufficient
to repi.ove every hard corn, soft .cork,
or corn between the toes, and the foot
calluses, without soreness or irrita
tion.

Love’s Labor Lost.
A short time ago, in Richmond j
county,. Ga.. a negro and his wife
were brought before a magtstraate
on a charge of fighting. The - magia- !
tratae, essaying to ast as iienceqiak-. I
er. said to the woman: ,
“Mandy, you should not lose your ■
temper and beat Mose every time lie i
does something you do not like. 1
You should try heaping coals of fire j
on his head."
“Well, jedge,” responded the worn- ]
an, "I ain’t never tried dat, but I ]
did lam him on de liaid with a red- i
hot skillet, hut it didn't do a par- ]
tide ob good.”
Frank’—l don’t see how you can '
tell these Smith twins apart.
Hank—That's easy. Mabel always i
blushes when she sees me.
Schrain, the artist—l'm wedded to 1
my art. . ‘‘ • ■
Critic—Apparently a secret mar
riage.
Joe —HJd’o. Elmer, how’s every
body at your house?
Elmer—We've had a little sick
ness. Little Robert fell and hurt his
iftead and the doctor has had to c >mc
j every day for 'a week.
Joe —That’s too bad. Is lie m ,oiis
■ ly ill?
Elmer—Oh, Robert is all right.
Bqt the shock of seeing him fall put
my wife to bed with a severe nervous
attack.
i The young husband was anxiously
awaiting news of the birth of hlk
first child. He was paciug up and
; ] down .the hall when the doctor came
■ lout aud told him to control himself
;or else take n walk around the block.
, “But. I tell you I'm scared to death,”
'protested the young man..

high and low for it? Well, yesterday.
I put on a vest I had not worn for
years, and what do you think 1

"Your watch- —splendid !"
