WEATHERS_President j RENN DRUM ____ Local Editor; -=-----! Entered ns second da.-s matter January 1, ]f*05, at the postoffice a'. Fhelby, North Carolina, under the! Act of Congress, March 3, 1870. We wish to call your attention to the fact that it is, and has been out j custom to charge five cents per line; for resolutions of respect, cards of thanks and obituary notices, after one death notice has been published. This! will be strictly adhered to. FRIDAY, JAN. 3D, 1923 Once was when they blew out the j gas, now they step on it. The airplane is now 21 years of age, but the Foiu arc still in the major ity. The fellow who has a habit of tak ing short cuts to reach bis destination usually makes the final one on time. Ac. the Old Home Town cartoonist . would put fi Governor McLean suy to the legislature: “llul 'or Newt." The governor of North Caroline said t > the predicted "next governor" of North Carolina on Tuesday. "What are cotton reed worth?” “If the next mod bond issue goes ; like the two preceding we may join with Tam Bowie and ask that some thing he done for two "Lost Provin ce -''.e ,hhn; 1.210 people came to j Shelby 1n 1X4 to play golf on the Cleveland Sprh .rr> links. Isn't it a pity j the Seaboard did not.get. to haul them. But now that the motor busses run} right through the course why worry?; Before long the opening scene at! our favorite movie house will no ( doubt be described a;, follows: "OutI where the hi rod flows free and fre fluent - at Herrin wlit-re the slow shooters die.'’ Old timers out from the West avow that ther’s always “some feller that can pul! quicker than you and the law of averages and a hunk of lead will eventually get the best’’.- Exit S. tfleiy rHTST-7'—* . -t: 1 t nother eclipse comes hlnfljf . >, , e■increasing imagin-, et ion of headline writers the c ensors i may ban the reports of the big dance I In the heavens. t North Carolina led all the states in' the Union in the increase in wealth per inhabitant from 1912-1922—and since then have led in spending. Now since Greensboro bus remark-' ed on the criminality of Charlotte, ami consequently the remaining por-1 tion* of Mecklenburg, maybe the rest of the state will watch with interest; the rehearsal of two Revolutionary j battles—Guilford Courthouse and the Hornets Nest. While the daily papers are noting, rome with scorn, that the state slip ped agriculturally in 1924,, will some one be so hind as to note that Cleve »land county advanced more than ever during the year. They wondered why th Country Gyntleman termed Ciev ’and “the example farm county of the Quick Step State.” Will someone please locate the sev eral thousand pessimistic folks who declared Cleveland county this year would fell short of last year’s cotton crop. One or two have remarked “I told you so” sin?e the announcement that the county had established a new record with over '10,000 bales, but along with other* we are keeping the peace and rejoicing in our prediction being upset. OI K EDITION TODAY, Toe Star is pleased to preesnt to the farmers of Cleveland county this edition which is largely devoted to the interest of the Co-operative Cotton Growers association of which there are already 800 members in Cleveland. Following this edition Mr. McGill, dis-! trict representative, will hold “follow up" meetings in an effort to add new members to this already strong or ganic" ton. Co-operative marketing bus } -.t*d the experimental stage and it i t now an established fact that the cotton grower; of the south can cell their cott on to better advantage I through co-operative marketing than by the old dumping method of “every i man for himself and the devil take the; hindmost.” Leading men have endors-l ed it, and fruit growers have proven i it that co-operative marketing is not! only to the advantage of the grower but to the manufacturer and the ad vantages increase or. the organisa tion grown in membership. Cleveland is the second largest cot ten growing county in North Carolina, yet the membership is far behind what It should be. In presenting these ar guin'- for co-operative marketing it is 1 lo ? ' .-rease the membership, . for '« nses the power and desired results . re more potent. Read j this issue carefully: consider the ar-i jumcnts advanced by men who knw^, attend the “follow up" meetings and .lien we feel you will be convinced that this organization means much to the cotton industry right here in Cleve land. KAISE MORE FEED. Cleveland county has established on enviable reputation a a cotton grow ing county, but we are nogk <big tin feeds for man and beast. Hay, corn.' potatoes, pork and poultry need • • thb time more emphasis than cot top. l.mw ever important the cotton .is as a money crip. \V are makii j pleni!' i herdway in dairying wht-v takes sec ond place in value of farm pro ducts, we do not ..end away fe rmat, or*:' poultry inb.u: try i: be> nming more and more profitable,. potato! through the scientific storage n.eil<>d* are bringing in a good revenue, but we are 1 uving (■»' much hay red grain from the we. t. Of epur- e la-1 year . local weather condition- cut the feed crops short and disappointed our farm ers to such an extent that we will be" forced to buy S2l.Kl.000 worth of feed suffs from otner states, but the-e imps have been raised here sqccttw fully and every farmer should do -hi* hi -1 to make enough t<> feed his stock. T e financial drain which i- caused by buying grain and hay make a big hole in the cotton fuiiei r. cotton mo-, ney and if Cleveland is to balance its agricultural progress we must give more attention to the growing of those two crops. Without t hem, our big cotton crop- is not so profitable after all. ' , | AT TIfE CROSS ROADS. •Shelby i at the cre«R-ro::ds. The | quest loti ir whether we i all take the j left-hand highway that runs a short ; distance and stop-, or take the right j hand highway that leads to future; growth and development. Extension , is. the right hand road and is the step; !bill should he taken at this time be-* pause we are hemmed in so to speak 1 y an invisible lira called a boundary Shat separatee', those of Shelby from those on the out* ide. Wo are nil one I' -.vn except in government. Why shouldn't the government be the * a me for all? • Of course it. i: largely" a matter of pride that we warn extension. It’s the yon pride that prompt us to build homes, erect public structure:'., ex .end cur Industries, provide the mod ern ant) civilizing conveniences such as better schools, electric lights, pav ed streets anti sidewalks. No town can ever reach its fullest growth without extension. Suppose there had been no extension iirrAeb^viUe, Hickory, Gasp tonia, Charlotte, Winston, Durham, Greensboro. Certainly the districts originally chartered could not give the rural dwellers the municipal advan tages without all had joined hands in helping. For a town to grow is as nat ural and logical as the growth of a child, but without extending the boun dary of a town, all growth is stunted and hindered. It has been .'10 years since Shelby had a boundary expansion. Shall we wait longer or do it now? It’s bound to come and this is the accepted time. SOONER OR LATER. Since Governor Cameron Morrison departed Raleigh and became Cam eron Morrison, attorney-at-law there has been much tali: newspaper con veKation-- about the deficit, Mr. Max well and such topics. The entire state took part; in section:- it was referred to as the “deficit," in others the quo tation marks were boldly left off, and then some, but nevertheless the en tire state took part in the talk. Soon er or later knowing Mr, Mornson and even considering his forgiving fare well we expected a comeback. And it has arrived. The former governor has challenged Josephus Daniels, editor of the. Raleigh News and Observer, to public debr.tr. over the state on mat > : iinenct' [JoruHiung to me state. It seen;:- that the ex-.goyer.nor fee’s that the former, secretary of the navy is hemp too plain about state finan ces anti is damaging the state’s cred it, and at the same time leaving none to brilliant impression about the Mor rison regime. He that as it may. The funny part is that a Raleigh correspondent of the Greensboro News, who is versed in gossip politi cal and has the ability to relate it a little better than any other in the state, wro; e too quick about the ex guvenior':-. unusual silence and his absence from the capital. Here’s how it goes: In the innards of Thursday’s l>aily News there was a story from Raleigh to the point that leaders there thought Morrison disciplined by the deficit and not likely to bother Ral eigh soon. But, behold! On the front page of the same paper, where late news is allotted, there was another story. And in it the ex-governor ruin ed thp prediction on the inside—for it bore a challenge to Daniels for pub lic debates on the deficit, or the “do ficit.” The silence has been broken Raleigh will be bothered—maybe. Af It was Mr. Daniels shift in referring the challenge to Governor McLean, who will have to bear the whole busi ness whether it 1m- “deficit” or deficit, was not what we would call the worst of moves. However it may go the state is as sured a bit of entertainment right in the season when things look dull in •-he political world. For with the law ^makers overworking' themselves and only two women con.-iderin;: running for governor in 1928 there will be lit tle for informal political groups to dis cuss unless the ex-governor does ar ia, g» a fee/ debate' or something while Governor M l, an goc about hi* malar of fir :.r ’tig the "Winder State."

Grow Cotton on a Business Basis To the Cotton ' irw . ‘w. e.f, f'P yelaml County: ’ ~ 1 take il that you are growing cotton as a business proposition rath jf,r than for pleasure or pastime. I ! take it, also, that you are growing cotton as a means to an end and not ail end itself. To make your business i "f growing cotton profitable there iave two things you must do: i 1. Produce Economically. I 2. Sell Advantageously, i tinder number one comes such 1 items a.- oil, seed, fertilizer, culti vation, insect nod disease control and these things must be given serious thought anti consideration. We must also realize that the unit of c' tton V HOMER B, MASK ] production is the family while in the manufacturing world the unit of pro jduetipn t: the machine. | Under number two we must cstah ; fish a sales organization on a bag • scale just as bier business has done. In other word , each producing unit, : the farm family, must cooperate with j other producing units in the sale oi ! their cotton. The North Carolina Cotton row j'ers Cooperative Association is the 1 sales organization through which | (KMt North Carolina growers are now ! selling their cotton. While these 36,. j.OGO growers have established n sales organization through which to sell j their cotton advantageously in the j markets of the world, there are thous jar.ds of growers who no doubt arc i producing their cotton at a very j low cost but m e selling at a loss be | cause they are still blindly dumping their cotton. Take my advice—join the N, C. cot ton Growers (''(operative Association and you will have tin efficient busi ness organization to sell your cotton |C.n the best markets of the world. Sincerely, —HOMER H. B. MASK. Scientists say the sun is warming up. About this time of year we can stand it. MANCHESTER CHAMBRAY (27-in. Wide.)
