Those that can’t play football take their exercise in a snake dance during rest periods. And, listen once and you’ll never worry about a lung infection invading the high school. Without all of which the world would not spin. The most public place in Shelby-— have you ever thought what it is? Our first contribution—we’ll guess afrain if it’s wrong1—is the new foun tain on the court square. And, don’t forget, these people who tack up le gal notices will find the place where the most eyes flit over. These’s al ready one notice on the interior foun* tain walls. Almost as good a place to advertise as in The Star? ? ? The motto of Kiwanis is “We build”, but it should have been "We unite'* from the appearance of the spirit that invades the Kiwanis meetings at Clev eland Sorings. Thursday evening we saw talking together; two preachers, two rival lumbermen, and two physi- j oiars who do not practice on the same patients. And the preachers were talking about a jug—as a musical in. 1 strument; the lumbermen were dis cussing chicken, and the doctors were, of all things, having a good time talking about the preachers. Yea, such is the Kiwanis spirit and Char lie Burrus, who doles out the spirit. It's rather late to say it, but if you want to witness the big Legion Armis tice Day celebration, it’s time to start. And then the boys will present flash es of Action” in the evening at the Princess theatre. Another McIntyre vision of Shelby — the fire department front: A big, 1 gaping doorway. A scintillating red truck in the background. Two chairs propped on each side of th£ doorway. | Two people are in the chairs, they’re both “snoozing.” But remember “Red” and Bobby work 25 hours each day. I The extra hour is two hours in one when they’re both trying to get off. This item is a tribute to Shelby as well as advertisement for Kelly Cloth-! ing company. Some years back the { Kellys smarted selling gents clothing. Apparently they have made a success at it. A large number of suits in Pied- j mont. North Carolina bear on the in side label—"Kellys, Statesville, Moor- ! esville and Kannapolis.” Now they’ll add Shelby, and they tell us that in branching out again they considered a number of coming towns—Shelby won the consideration. Which brings the conclusion that we Cleveland county people think a lot of Shelby, but these big chain concerns with business experts al ways on the alert evidently are also impressed with the Cleveland county seat. F’rinstance, Gilmer’s, Efird’s Rose’s, A. & P., Piggly Wiggly, Wool- , wor.h and now Kelly’s, a North Caro lina outfit. These concerns did not lo cate in Shelby just because they had enough extra money to stock another store. There is no doubt about it, Shelby has the “ups” on visiting athletic 1 teams when the contests are staged here. The visitors first ride over 2,-! 941 bumps and the overhead bridge and then the athletic field and ceme-| tery flash into view at the same time.1 They’re strangers and don’t always know what started the cemetery. Shelby has not long been in the brokerage business, meaning that the ticker of the stock broker has not long i been a part of the business hubbub of up-town Shelby—and naturally there are those who have not yet become' familiar with the details of the “put and take,” mostly take some of them > say, by telegraph. Recently one of l the “there are those” eased up the 'stairs to the brokerage of H. and B. i Beer. For a few minutes he listened; at the ticker and watched the chalk in , nimble figures change the reuding | j over the big board. Finally he gave I his disgusted opinion: “Huh, that’s j easy. If I was playin’ the thing I I would buy when it was low and sell when it was high.” Mr. Galloway, wheeled, looked, and also grunted with disgust, and turned back to his fig-1 ures on the'board. The ticker kept ticking—and so far as we’ve heard i j Wall street did not tremble at the i nearness the street came to bank ruptcy. Bits of conversation heard in front of the Cleveland drug store: “See what Governor Morrison said about Max Gardner when he heard the port bill was beat?” “Yea, and although I was one of the few that voted for it I’m glad it was beat now since I’ve read that out* i burst.” The sentiment no doubt is similar to that of many thousand voters over the state. These Tar Heels like good losers. The arrival of the ZR-3 seems to be a case of Hans across the sea.—New York Herald Tribune.

SAYS SMOKING POES NOT AFFECT HEART Smokers can enjoy their cigars and cigarettes without worrying about the development of heart disease, says Hygeia, popular health magazine of the American .Medical association, nuoting Dr. John Parkinson, London physician. “The evidence of tobacco causing permanent heart disease is meager,” Dr. Parkinson says. “Well authenti cated cases due to tobacco alone are very few or non-existent. Smoking has a slight, though definite, effect in accelerating the heart rate and rais ing the blood pressure, but the palpi tation of the heart following smoking is chiefly due to a heightening of the smoker’s sensibility to the increase in the heart pulse rate, accompanied in many cases by indigestion.” The fact is, the magazine declares editorially, much has been said about the dangers of smoking that the av erage sensible man has stopped smok ing altogether or has greatly curtail ed the number of cigars or cigarettes per day on account of augue and unu sual pains long before he consults a physician a? to a disturbance of the heart. V (N. C. Christian Advocate. A Bottle of Wine Destroys a Bible. Wine is destructive even in the corner stone of a church. If “wine is a mocker,” as the Bible declares, when hid away in a brick wallfaj from the pave of man, what should we expect from its effects in a man's stomach ? But we let the Cleveland Star tell what a bottle of wine deposited in the corner store of the old Methodist church in Shelby did for the contents of that corner stone. The Star says: “When the old church was sold to •1. K. Webb, the corner stone was re moved and the contents opened, but lo and behold, all of the records were illegible because the wine had fer mented in .the course of years and saturated the other contents of the] sealed box. The records were, there fore, so rotten by the dampness and ape that even the Bible could not be opened. None of the records placed there when the building was erected were in any sort of preservation.” Henry Ford has withdrawn his of-j fer for Muscle Shoals. He probably; discovered that its operation would not be so profitable for the people as he at first estimated.—Columbia Rec- j ord. WHY HAS THE FIRST NATIONAL BANK OF SHELBY THOUSANDS OF AC COUNTS AND RESOURCES OF OVER FOUR AND A HALF MILLION DOLLARS? BECAUSE— For more than twenty years it has been the friend of Cleveland county. BECAUSE— Every officer and clerk has the fact con stantly in mind that the customer is the most important individual connected with the bank. They know the bank is not operated just, to pay salaries, but to give a definite service. BECAUSE— This bank has to offer every line of le gitimate bankinir service from making change to securing Foreign Exchange. BECAUSE It is essentially a Shelby and Cleveland County institution, having the confi dence and trust of the public over a long period. In fact over three generations. FINALLY— * > The big outstanding reason why this bank has thousands of depositors is be cause it has wanted them and worked unceasingly for them! No account has ever been too small to receive careful at tention. We appreciate small accounts! Every customer means another ardent supporter. The monv.v value of an ac count has always been subordinate to the useful service able to be rendered to the public. First National Bank OF SHELBY, N. C. Capital and Surplus $500,000.00.

Penurious saving is not thrift. A man who will deny his family or himself the necessities of life is not a thrifty individual. However, there is a thought quite worthy of your con sideration: A DOLLAR NEVER RESTS UNTIL IT IS SAVED. Money will travel until it reaches the hands of a saver. Many of your dol lars are now drawing inter est in another man’s sav ings account. Four Per Cent Compound Interest And Safety. Deposit Your Cotton Checks " With Us. We Loan On Warehouse Receipts.
