This will be strictly adhered to. FRIDAY, NOV. G, 1025. Another boost for Cleveland county farms is that they sup port so many automobiles. Ike of Casar adds that the world would be gloomy indeed without sunshine in these days of transparent skirts. It’s nothing new to Cleveland county boys that Boiling Springs has prize-winning damsels. Those who predict that the Florida boort is nearing an end should be careful about their! prophecies. What proof is there j that the statement Barnum made; is not true even yet?. The Florida Times-Union be-1 litves the slaps on the back go to hard working folks as the mos-l quito rarely gets a slap until he] goes to work. What about the! singing encore? The newspapers should quit criticising the Prince of Wales about his riding. He’s just had his ninth fall from the back of a horse. He’s bound to be a game guy to keep getting back astride his mount. Seme of the editors we venture would not have tried even the second time. COTTON AND BALLOON TROUSERS. Whv put cn a “Cotton Stock ing Week” to boost the wearing of cotton goods in order to ad vance the price of the staple’' Why not boost. instead of criti cise. the craze for balloon trous ers? From observation a goodly part of the general run of trous ers includes cotton, and some times much cotton, and as vet we have not heard that the Oxford bags present an exception as re gards the cotton. If a nair of cotton hose will ad vance the price of cotton a per centage of a cent per pound, tb’nk what a nair of Oxford bags will do for the price no’* b'de? f’omnsring the amount of cotton in ordinary rolled hose the "o ton in 18-ineh bottom trousers; o*' conservative estimate it mi b' be said that one dm'* sto*e of tea-hounds with their Ovfo ■ ’ bags use more cotton goods th*n rn entire citv of flapwrs with their knee-ventilating hose. Then there is another side. Or. a vote, we believe, the popular df* cision would be to keep the silk stockings and stand the balloons if possible. That for looks. And considering what America spends annually for appearance looks should count some. IN THE GAME A HALF CENTURY. On November 16 10 days lienee. Col. Wade H. Harris, edi tor of the Charlotte Observer, wll have checked off 50 years as a newspaper editor. The Char lotte chamber of commerce plan •< a banquet in his honor. That should bring good cheer to the veteran writer, for through the passing years an editor writer often of the appreciation of an other’s work, of his banqueting and toasting, but seldom is the praise cf the banquet table re turned. That’s part of the “game’ learned years back by the Ob server editor, and our hope is that he withstands the shock and really enjoys the occasion. Back of the banquet one sees the mindful hand of Clarence Kuester. The Charlotte chamber of commerce has accomplished wonders in recent years with Kuester as the dynamo and no more loyal boosting, building co operation is in evidence any where than of the Observei through Colonel Harris to Kues ter and his enterprises. A fitting pair they are. and much have they meant to Char lotte. Recognition of their sendee is now in order—Kuester is to be giveTT an automobile to replace the old boat that has press-agent ed Charlotte in all sections of this and adjoining states, and Colonel Harris is to have a big banquet in his honor. Just a glance at the Queen City of today and its morning newspaper is ample proof that the pair deserves all honors coming. What Irvin Cobb really meant was that the state in gen eral should have what Charlotte .as—a pair like Harris and Kues U r. Our good wishes for the Col onel at the 50th anniversary of service in a “game” that at last offers a reward other than that 'A the satisfaction of serving. A SERVICE NOT REALIZED. Owing to a lack of funds Miss] Irma Bowman will soon end her services as public school nurse. Few, it seems, realize the blow the ending of that service is to Shelby. In our opinion one of the most important departments of the lo cal school system blotted out be cause of a lack of funds. Miss Bowman has served well and the health that, many children as grown ups a few years hence will (n.joy they owe to her. Perhaps they then will appreciate the debt more than we do. What is an alert mind in a diseased body ? How much is an education worth to a sick man? Watch r* healthy child progress in school then compare the progress with that of a child that never feels pood. That’s answer enough to the school nurse query. No more efficient nurse could have been secured than Miss Bowman. None would have ^riv en more loyal service with the welfare of your child ever to the forefront. In the ending of her services she deserves, and h is earned, the spoken appreciation of those who really know the value of health in a child. The monthly record of the Ki wanis club could show no more deserved entry than that of the club’s appreciation to the school nurse; the parents of Shelby’s youth could show no more ap preciation for the care of their children than bv an expression of thanks to the school nurse; the children themselves will iq time, express theirs. They move than any others will realize with the passing years what such service meant to their future sue cess. Education may equip one to make money, hut money will not buy health. Yet it will, when used in securing an efficient caretaker of our children’s health while they are young. The family doctor does his part, hut he can’t do it all, though he does assume many roles without ie ward. S'c by M t'uvlst Will Be Interested In the Following Editorial Appear i.;.|» It •» he Charlotte News of V . ti.Ksday Afternoon: Th' people of the Tryon Street Method;: t Church appear to have drawn an unusually outstanding pas te r and the city generally a citi zen and minister of uncommon cap acity in th" assignment here of Rev. A. L. Standford, who comes from Shelby to take charge of the destines of the local organization. Mr. Stanford is given credit for having been the moving spirit in the construction of a handsome hew church of his faith in Shelby, and he would seem, therefore, to have been allocated to the local kingdom for just such a time and accomplish ment us this here in view of the pro jected plans for the unification of the Tryon Street and Trinity Churches and the construction of a new house of worship for the united congrega tions that will be the most commo dious and elegant in the State. He has a big task ahead of him in the local field and one in the de noucement of which he, and those associated pridefully and joyfully with him, will,receive the well wishes of the people of the community gen erally, whatever their church affilia tions may be. Lutheran Church of the Ascension. Rev. N. D. Yount, pastor. Sunday school at 10 o’clock. All who are not now taking part in some other church, are heartily invited to meet with us regularly. Morning worship,, 11 o’clock, sub ject: "A Few Pointers Along the Highway of Life." Evening worship. 7:150, theme: "Is it Honorable to Surrender?” We have but few conveniences (in the South La Fayette school building), our membership is not large; but wi st and ready to serve you with soul satisfying services. Come. While other countries need it most, the United States uses the most per fume. Adam really meant it when he told Eve she was the only woman on earth for him. ^ Much Efficiency By E.J0%)Kath BEGIN HERE TODAY John W. Brooke, hardware man ufacturer and widower, has ar ranged with Economy and Effi ciency Corporation, Limited to take over the management of his household. He leaves town without informing his three grown children Constance, William and Alice, of his plans. II. HEDGE, efficiency engineer, assigned to the job, arrives at the Brooke mansion and breaks the news to the surprise trio. His credentials proved genuine Hedge joins the family at dinner. He tries to make it clear that he is (here as their father’s representa tive and expresses the hope that they will soon be keenly inter ested in the experiment. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY Experiment! The Brookes looked interested. W'hat sort of an experi ment ? But if Mr. Hedge was aware of the interest he did not at that time gratify curiosity. Instead, he branch ed off into things that were quite irrelevant, things that ordinary folks talk about. He was a rather good talker, yet he did not do all the talking. He managed to lead the Brookes into it, and presently they found themselves conversing with this strange person as though he w'ere actually a familiar member of the household. Dinner was proceeding with aston ishing ease. Billy had thawed to the point where he took up his favorite .1 7? J IS <5 » amusement of teasing his .sisters. “By the way, Connie,” he asked, “have you dad’s letter there?” She produced the letter, and her brother read it with solemn face. “Down here it says, ‘Treat him as you would me.’ quoted Billy. There was a look of quiet amuse ment on Hedge”* face. “Well, why don’t you Connie?” de mundod her brother. “I—1 don’t quite understand,” she stammered. There was a flush on her cheeks, partly anger, partly confusion. Some thing was coming, she knew; she could have annihilated her brother. “Don’t understand?” echoed the de mon. “Well, you know how you al ways treated father when he sat down at the table.” Constance was blushing furiously. Of course she knew! It was her in variable custom to kiss John W. Brooke on top of his expansive bald head. She blushed at the memory of this, and she blushed anew at the memory of her salutation to Hedge, hack in the library, when before she had glanced up from her magazine, 1 she thought he was her father, i For an instant she contemplated j flight. She dared not look across the 1 table, where sat the person who was to be treated according to the in junction of her father. Alice sup pressed a giggle; Billy was grinning If Hedge was laughing, she would die But Hedge was not lutighing. He did not appear to be conscious of the dire confusion of Constance. Instead, he was regarding the butler with a cold glare. “Come here!” he commanded, rais ing an imperative finger. The butler approached. "Nar name’s Horace, isn’t it?” “Why—yes, sir.” “Then listen, Horace. I’ve been watching you. Do you realize that you waste from thirty-five to forty per cent of energy every time you .walk from that door to the table?” The voice of Hedge was rasping. Horace’s lower jaw sagged slowly. “In the first place.” continued Hedge, emphasizing his remarks with incisive gestures, “you take a longer route than is necessary. Take a di rect route—so-—and you save, three steps. Lengthen you stride and you save two additional | steps. Let mo see you step out. There! You see it can be done. There are two equally short routes by which the table may be approached. Alternate them. It saves the rugs. Walk faster. It saves time. And turn down those lights a long the wall. They’re unnecessary and it will save electricity. After this evening, put only one log on the fire. I It saves wood. That will do.” If the butler was frozen into an image of blank amazement, the same was equally true of the Brookes. They sat rigid in thjur chairs, star ing at !f. Hedge. Vanished was the | agonizing confusion of Constance; vanished the diabolical glee of her brother and sister. No emotion touch ed them save that of superlative as tonishment.. It remained for Billy to recover speech. “What—what the blazes do you call that?” he demanded. “That,” said Hedge, quietly, “is a kindergaiden lesson in efficiency.” "You mean that you are going to try—” “Young man, you are beginning to ! get the framework of an idea.” There v, as an instant of silence in the dinning-room, while Hedge plac idly stirred his coffee. His amazing outbreak over the inefficiency of Ho race subsided as rapidly as it arose. He had relapsed into a satisfied calm. “Are we to understand,” began Constance, coldly, "that our father i told you—” “Your father told me nothing. I have never seen him.” “Never saw him! Yet you mean to sny that he sent you here?” “He made full arrangements with the company of whieh I am a repre sentative," replied Mr. Hedge. “The Fconomy and Efficiency Corporation, Limited. We have recently effected a reorganization of his business. We have, in 1 is absence, now been plac ed in charge of his household.” “And you actually propose to live here ?” “I am living here,” responded Mr. Hedge, sipping his cofTes. “You must learn to separate a fact from a mere intention. My immediate personal ef fects I brought with me. My trunk will he here in the morning. By the way, Horace, did you take my grip to Mr. Brooke’s room?" The butler shook his head; speech had not yet returned to him. “Do so at once or cause it to he done. I shall occupy Mr. Brooke’s su;te.” Horace .g a:iced at Constance and hesitated. jHe received no sign that would soitye ns a guide to action, and presently disappeared from the room, hify hoiid wagging pitifully. Constance bit her lips. ‘ May 1 venture to ask your plans? she inquired. “Certainly. They are simple. To make it brief, my plans are to put your father’s household on an eco nomic basis that will correspond to that on Which his hardware establish ment is now operated. I may say j that these plans are also his, but the accomplishment of them has been turned over entirely to me. I shall of course, expect you co-opcration. “And if we should decline to co operate?” f “That is an impossible conCngcn cy.” Constance arid her brother ex changed glances, and both of them looked at Alice. Here was a fool who 1 had rushed in where an angel fear ed to tread; where even John W. Brooke, hardware magnate, often walked with circumspection. “When I say that I expect your co-operation,” continued Mr. Hedge in a less formal tone, “I may say that I can easily show you why we should co-operate. The science of eliminating waste and installing effi ciency is a fascinating one. It pos sesses strong elements of romance.” Alice's eyes wore a hypnotic stare. “Your father, although an unbe liever, recently became interested in it. 1 may now say that he is a i strong advocate. His business has been completely reformed.” “Was there anything the matter wi‘h it?” demanded Billy. “Over two hundred thousand dol lars’ worth of annual waste,” said Mr. Hedge promptly. “We do not know, unfortunately, the annual wates of his household, but I under stand that no accounting has been kept. However, that will be reme died. I should judge, from a very casual inspection, that anything up to a fifty per cent saving may bo achieved. In any event, the work will be one of great interest.” The son of the household hud an an angry exclamation on his bps, hut Constance checked him with a sign. She was thinking rapidly In stinctively .she felt that the time was one for caution. If there was to be a battle, it would be necessary to make the cus tomary reconnaissances. She had carried with her the tiny bit of paste board which the vistor. handed ner in the library; now she picked it up from the table and glanced at it idely It was merely a play for time, but the successor of John W. Brooke was prompt in turning the trifling inci dent to account. “If you will note my card,” he said, “you will sec that it is about one-half the area of the customary business card. That saves paper. You will note that there is no sup erfluous ‘Jtr.’ and that the Christ ian name is represented by an initial. That saves ink and type. A similar saving is represented by the letters ‘E. E..,’ which serve adequately to designate Ihe nature of my business. The entire card is supplied at a forty-two-per-cent reduction over the cost of the average business card. The matter may seem trifling; in reality, it is important. It is a pri mary step in scientific management. ‘‘But what does E. E. mean ?” ask ed Constance, studying the penurious scrap of pasteboard. ‘Efficiency Engineer.” “It would seem,” she observed critically, “that your card requires a verbal explanation.” “Possibly -to the uninformed,” replied Mr. Hedge. “Even so, con versation is cheaper than paper and ink. You now understand what E. E. means; it will never be necessary for you to inquire again during the per iod of your natural life. But in the same period, if it were necessary to print ‘Efficiency Engineer’ in full on all similar cards, the expense in paper and ink would doubtless run into thousands of dollars, to say no thing of the time and cost of com position. It would be an economic fallacy.” There was an unmistakable note of enthusiasm in the voice of Mr. Hedge. NEXT CHAPTER: Scientfic man i age-ment under fire.
