WEATHERS_President RENN DRUM-Local Editor Entered as second class matter January 1, 1905, at the post office at Ihelby, North Carolina, un'ler the Act of Congress, March 3, 1879. We wish to call your attention to the fact that it is, un,l has been our custom to chnrge five cents per line for resolutions of respect, cards of thanks and obituary notices, after one death notice has been published. '1 hi. will be strictly rdhered to. MONDAY, DEC. 7, 11)25. Present day telephone service h«s almost erased the “o” from Hello. Yes, most men have a code of ethics, but some are adjustable to reasons and circumstances. Don’t be surprised if the fel low who opposed woman suf frage talks overtime these days about “Ma” Ferguson, governoi of Texas. Our legislative puzzle: Shop lifters serve prison sentences. bu£ the fellow who has it charged never intending to pay, doesn’t pay. Now that the lawyers are through introducing letters in the Rhinelander case, perhaps the newspapers will begin pub lishing Santa Claus letters. A beautiful wi man turns’her beauty into money by going on the stage, yet some folks howl when Red Grange uses his shoulders for something other than lugging ice. The marriage record for one mptith from York county, in South Carolina, looks like the re cord of the entire year in Cleve land. New, divorces arc recorded in reverse style. As the years roll around Clev eland county citizenship will want to step to the reverse and pat the backs of the two county hoards for their great education al nacve in backing up the school building program. Our mythical pr'ze for the best paragraph pun goes this week to the Chicago Tribune con tributor who asks: “Was it Kip Rhinelander or Rudvard Kip bng who said “But she knifed me one night ’cause I wished she was while, and 1 learned about women from her.” BUSINESS SHELBY PERKS UP. Shelby is still growing Build ing permits this venr ,r**y nor eq'ual those of l»st yeow hut ev ery quarter of the rilm'd-w s manv and import out •h'O'v. n tho skvline of bus ires - Shot’"’, a duos eye-view oi nut- ' >■ Shelby on foot the i**« ' that the several building* • ■ ' being completed have added much to the apj eanuice of 'he lip-town section. And romon be • such buildings were not erected for appearance alone. The hand some new home of the A. Blan ton w holesale grocery corpora tion and the new ice cream plant have definitely placed an other street on the business man. The Royster buildings on South LaFayette and South Washing ton are great additions and arc among the best appearing busi ness buildings in town. Don’t for a minute think Shelby isn’t spreading. The next three months in the oninion of this paper will hear of the an nouncement of three or more business buildings, perhaps one or snore of vast magnitude. cTHild labor AND CRIMlk Noting that the majority of crimes nowadays are committed by young boys and young men it is well to note some of the ica sona assigned as the cause— rather one reason. Old timers not altogether friendly towards the child bor laws point such laws oip as the foundation. When a boy has no work outside of home that engages his attention, and a father and mother too busy at work lo direct his surplus energy and spirit into useful channels, a criminal results seven times out of ten. Tnat’s the philosophy of the old ttmei-8. A youth has too much spirit, drive and energy, commonly classed in the one word “pen”, to he'idle. He must do something, his.young. healthy body and mind overflowing with eagerness and activity must turn to som? If it’s not towards some tiling useful then his own mind through the ever present asso ciation will direct that surplus energy in some channel—and it’s a dangerous channel the mind of an undirected youngster will en ter usually. There’s a thought for parents. The labor laws may prevent your boy working at a regular job. but it’s the task rf a parent to see that he is engaged. All work and no play may make Jack a dull bov, but all play and no work will eventuallv giv-» Jack a pick and shovel job with Ihe county or a number of years in the penitentiarv. What’s your bo ydoimr? If he’s lb to 14 now whore will he be at the age of 19? THE FINEST ROAD The finest rood in North Cai • olina will be built sometime next year between (Jastonia and Char lotte. because the traffic be tween these two towns is th“ heaviest in the state, accord;ng to an official count made bv ih.> State highway commission. It. was revealed a few days ago when a count was made of th > vehicles passing over various mads that in a 12 hour period there were 1,890 vehicles pass ing a given point. Such a record exceeds any other stretch of highway in the state, hence the road commission is nlanning to build at a cost of $800,000. a 40 (Yot wide hard surface roadway, with both hard and sand-clay sur far s running1 parallel, each of the width of 20 feet. It is under stood that the new survey c'dr Ihe distance between the two towns from 22 to 1 miles. With ever :V>0.0t0 motor vehicles in North Carolina daily travelling iho highways the congestion de mands blonder roads to lesson the danger of travel. It spooks well for the western Carolina section tr have the heaviest traf fic of anv road ; in North Car olina and is further evidence of the fact that no part of the state exceeds Piedmont Carolina i1 progress and advancement.

To these thoughtful citizens, men. ' women, boys and girls we extend cur hearty congratulations. Many him | learned for the first time how easy i< is to accumulate a satisfactory sum I of money by the steady saving < r small sums regularly.

If he turns and fires and Kills an officer, he will perhaps ho justified both morally and legally. The warning against the use of firearms was prompted by the ad mission of a prohibition agent on eross-examination. that other officers fired their pistols into the air in an effort to stop Peyton Edwards, negro a liquor suspect. The firing faded to halt Edwards but lie was later arrested and in court .submitted to a charge of possessing “mash.” Jess Wyatt, who was recently con victed of manslaughter in Waive Su perior court for killing Stephen Holt. Smithfichl lawyer, based bis defense at lbs trial on the contention tit at- the buHek which killed Holt was not fir 'd at him or his automobile, but at an ..pen field. Judge Meekins condemn 'd t-he practice of officers inducing a 1 ner; on to sell them whiskey during; he trial of Ed. Harris, a while man who was caught selling a pint o' whiskey and was fined $30. He d<’- , hired that hereafter when he has been convinced that i nch a practice has been used he will discharge the . dr fenda.rt. A widow the mother of nine chil dren, was a defendant in a federal ; court recently, on a charge of selling | whiskeys Sh ■ was arrested after Beh- ! fiy l-aulkner, who has been active :n i securing evidence again, t booth a-1 gets and moonshiners, had secured p ut from her. At the trial wc man, Mrs. Fannie Bread, testified t-had Faulkner came to her house land be | gr-d her for a pint of whiskey on th • double grounds that h • was sick and "oiog fishing. She declared she gave him a pint that her husband had made before he died, and that F.ftk • kmr immediately drank nearly the whole pint. She said she told him to ousid r the whiskey a gift, but that he put some money on the table and walked out. Her arrest followed soot} ' after Prunes No Longer Held In Dnrcput'* PutjN.ES NO LONGER (time) .. Boarding House Fruit Nutritious and Delicious. here was a time when prunes were som.*wlwt in disrepute as a food; just why, is hard to say, but this is no longer true. One of the large, high class grocers in New York, City,, who has several retail stores in that city .,ays that he sells ten 25 pounds box es of prunes daily from one store. This is one of the many indications <•1 the popularity of this fruit. So says Lulu Graves, expert die ti tian, writing oil the use of dried f ruits and vegetables in the diet, a feature of the December issue of Hygeia, popular health magazine published by the American Medical Association. How to Cook Prunes Properly cooked prunes are nutri tions and delic ous. To be properly cooked, they should be washed tho roughly, covered with warm or hot water and allowed to stand until ten der. If kept on the range or else where to keep the water hot j... time is required. If not, afttr t?S soaking process they should be coo’"' ed for a short time, only below boiling point. Either process longed soaking or rapid boiling WiU cause the prunes to become mu*hv and make them unattractive in ■,/ pearance. No sugar need be added io California prunes of good quality but Oregon prunes are more tart and 0„., may prefer them sweetened a Some prefer the prunes uncooked ,v t r the soaking; it is not really tie- ' cssary to cook them, if they are tor' der. They may be served plain as i breakfast fruit or in combination with cereal.
