The Star’s Holiday VOL. XXXIII, No. 108 “Covers Cleveland Completely.” SHELBY, N. C. WEDNESDAY DEC. 1G, 1025. Published Monday, Wednesday and Friday Afternoons. $2.00 A YEAR IN ADVANCE They may not turkey trot in this section, but before citizens of the county realize it Shelby will be known as a turkey town, if the far ,vCr- keep on raising gobblers and snipping' them. Perhaps that’s news to Shelby • who disposed of turkey dinners galore, but it’s nothing else than There are more turkeys raised in the county than are disposed of locally, Mr. C harlie C. Green, who handles thickens, turkeys, feeds, paints and various cereals and desserts for fea thered fowls on Trade street, has the proof that Cleveland county, is rank ing almost with mountain counties in t e .-h.piping of turkeys. Including the 40 gobblers he creat ed tip and shipped yresterday and to day. Mr. Green, has shipped out of Shelby 300 or more turkeys this sea ton—and y’ know turkey season be gins at Thanksgiving and runs kyond Cbrstmas until the hungriest get tired of gobbling gobbler. Most of the turkeys he has ship ped were husky birds, Mr. Green sav: and Cleveland county turkeys were much in demand on markets in near by cities. That brings to light a new source Of revenue for Cleveland farmers. A- Mr. Green looks at it turkeys of fer a good money making sideline for farmers. Gold bricks are cheaper per pound in the big cities this season of the year than are turkeys. Every one should know what-gold brings per pound. Turkey trot to your own conclusion. And when it comes to getting the nest out of fowls Mr. Green can give most farmers good advice. He has been catering to feeding chickens al most as long as Dick Brabble, at the Central hotel, has been feeding humans. Two weeks ago last Saturday ■< prominent farmer of the county and hi- wife drove up to Mr. Green’s place on Trade street and informed him that at home they had some 100 liens, which did not lay and refused to lie about it. The 100 hens arc worth about as much alive as one good chicken would be fried, they told Mr. Green,, much like a father would take his children to a doctor to diag nose their weakness. Two sacks of special feed for hens lacking energy were carted out to the car by Mr. Green. “$7 is the bill”, he remarked, and the farm wife very near fell out of the car seat: “The chickens are not worth that,'” she ex claimed. But friend husband thought otherwise and the feed with Mr. Green’s directions was taken home. Saturday two weeks after the frst trip, they came back after more feed, “well, was it worth $7,” Mr. Green asked. "Yes, seven and then $14 more,” the farm wife replied. "Those hens brought in $21 in two weeks," Most folks put their money in the 1 ark for security, but Mr. Green's motto for chicken farmers is to put the money in Security feed and have more to bank. It’ll make a lying hen go to laying, he says. If the city of Shelby, meaning the folks who live herein, was to write a -Santa Claus letter do you suppose it would sound like this: Dear Santy:— Please see to it that the new traffic signals get installed be fore you arrive. If they don't we’re afraid you'll get in a traf fic jam and won’t get all the way around. And when you’re making out your list for Shelby, please include a few more lights for the court square; a new street for South Shelby; a new building for the Courtview corner; a skyscraper for the Miller block; another fac tory for the town; a plan where by automobiles can't be stolen; a way for Shelby to get advertised —and many other things.

Dee. 14 — Hatcher t Hughes, native Tar Heel and former j university student and instructor who has lately gained national fame ! as playwright, c-anie hack Saturday | t. the scene of his student labors and ! told a fascinating story of the rough read over which he traveled to meet •success. 1 he former Cleveland county man made it clear that he was throwing no damper on Tar Heelswith aspira • tirns to act or write for the New York stage. He said their chance is as good as anybody's but he made a strong suggestion that such little theater groups as the Carolina play r.iakers afford an excellent opportu nity for writers and actors to achieve fame in their native communities. He praised the work of the Caro lina Playmakers and foresaw the time not far away when Frederick Koch's i ream of a (ompanv of players, grad uates of such schools as the playtnak ers, would be going here and there about the state presenting a reper toire of original folk piays. “It will be a long time before the lest New York plays are sent on the road,” he said, “and so why wouldn’t it be a good idea for each commun ity to produce its own drama?” He was introduced by Prof. John M. Booker, of the English department. Ho spoke in the new Playmaker theater. He was guest of honor at a dinner given by the Sigma Upsilon literary fraternity of which he is a member. He left at midnight for Charlotte to visit hi.- mother before returning to New York. ARE WE PROUD OF THE QUARTETTE? Russia.

Hupmobile Creates Big Running Featj From Detroit to Phoenix, 26G9 miles, in 84 1-2 hours running time, is the feat performed by a Hupmobile Six sedan—brand new when it left the former city. The run was made by H. H. Lahr,! president of Arrow Motors, Inc., of | Phoenix, Hupmobile distributors for Arizona, for the purpose of checking j personality, the capabilities of the new ly announced car. After driving at slow speeds until past Chicago to allow the car to be broken in properly Mr. Lahr began setting a faster pace, hanging up an average of approximately 35 miles an hour for the last 2100 miles. This is \ higher than the average speed of the transcontinental motor car record, and was made through those parts of the country generally considered to be the severest tost of an automo bile’s ability. Many of the car’s more outstand ing capabilities were forcibly brought out during the trip. Despite the high speed at which it was driven after be ing broken, in slightly more than 18 miles were made per gallon of gaso line after 5500 miles were reached. Oil changed regularly each 500 miles, with actual consumption estimated by Mr. Lahr ai not more than a gallon. Four quarts of water were Used. Roads were generally bad from St Louis until well into Arizona, he told Hupp executives. “Heavy rai ls had made them muddy or slimy, and treacherous. Many of the paved roads were quite rough. “The ear’s performance was tho roughly tested across the Kansas plains and in the Rocky Mountain country further West and South. For instance, It went over the famous Ra ton Pass in high gear all the w'ay, passing many larger and higher pow ered cars easily, and up over the top at better than 35 miles an hour.” After the car’s performance almost across the country, Mr. Lahr was de cidedly enthusiastic concerning it. “I predict that it will be a remarkable success both from the company’s and the distributor’s standpoint, and from that of its owner,” he said.

The religious authorities of the Roman Catholic (hutch, front the Pope and Cardinals down to parish priests, have put their ban on such in decent dressing, and I give them my Methodist apostolic benediction. I wish our Bishops, instead of wasting their time on the hopeless task of uniting two bodies so different as Southern and Northern Methodist, would send out a circular letter ap pealing to tiie women, and especially the mothers, of Southern Methodism to put a stop to following the fashions of the lewd women of Paris, and set the example of adorning themselves in ‘modest apparel.'” we wish our readers to know, how ever, that the management at Mon treat lias labored for years to correct this evil, but thus far without result. Some of the mothers are the strong-! est objectors to any restrictions, a 1 fact that does hot speak much for the modern mothers. This growing dsiplay of the body at the bathing places of Church Sum mer Conferences is an evil that indi cates a lowering of our moral stan dards, and also of social decency. We read and hear many defences of;the modern girl, and it may be, that, by a stretch of the imagina tion. the French phrase may apply, “Honi soit q«i mal y pens.-;" but we belive that the evil is independent of the mind. The young women of our day walk our streets with enough of their per son exposed to arouse evil thoughts in the minds of many, and then when some brute commits the nameless crime, a mob, equally as brutal, pro ceeds to take the law into their own hands. The wiser plan would be to re form the social life. It looks as if we are drifting along the same stream that carried Rome to her ruin. When we are disposed to criticise the management of our sum mer conferences, let us remember that the remedy for this evil lies at home with the mothers, rather than with the -management.

Guaranteed Fresh. t PHONE 65 Cleveland Drug Co. Shelby. N. r The Moorcsboro Creamery recently offered a prize for the best essay tending to show the value of the dairy and creamery industry. The essay winning first prize follows; When we think of a task we imedi ately study out our reason for under taking it. .After a thorough investi gation of why it pays farmers to keep Dj»ry cows in this section of the country we find the following reasons. 1st—The farmers have plenty of time and labor to give attention to the cows. 2nd—For the next eight months or during winter season dairymen get the highest prices for their milk pro ducts. ' ;tfd—The cows relation and econo mical relation to the farm. First the farmers have just finish ed gathering their crops and with their spare time can give the neces sary attention to the cows, by this we mean to the milking, feeding, de livering of the milk, get bedding for the animals and wash up the uteri s'ls. Top at this season of the year cows can he bought at a comparative ly smaller price because the people have kept a large number of cows during the grass growing season, now that they must be fed, the ma jority of farmers will sell all animals except these needed to supply the home table, so farmers should buy them while they are cheap and they "ill over pay for yhe food they eat. Now some farmer* will argue that good cow., will not pay for what they eat, but let me ask this question. How many farmers have figured what it will cost to feed a cow so as to make her valuable property? North Carolina experiments have pro ven that the approximate cost is a hout 24 cents per day for each cpw, then let us figure our results. A good dairy cow will give 3 gallons of milk per day. In 3 gallons of milk you "ill get about one pound of butter fat, valued at 45 cents this gives u return of 45 cents per day, plus the skim milk for feed, we compare it with corn for hogs, or powdered milk for poultry. 5 lbs skim milk equals one pound of corn, one pound of corn costs 3 cents there fore 20 lbs skim milk divided by 5 equals 4 lbs corn, tio one days milk from one cow 'vHH be 12 cent plus 45 cents for fat mak ing 57 cents per day for each cow, pius the value of the manure. Then if we sell whole milk we get 50 cents per gallon. By the laws of nature cows are re lated to the farm because they con sume lots of feed and give to the farmer a valuable return for what they have utilized. No animal gives a food well balanced for mankind as that given by the cow. Another im portant return is the manure, which gi'es the soil its best stimulant and reduces the need of so much commer c’«l .fertilizers that our present-day farmers are using. Every pound of good manure is equal to a pound of commercial fertilizer, so let us keep more cows, grow better crops and live at home within the laws of na ture. La.stern North Carolina does not have half as many dairy cows as it ought to have. Thousands of farmers ■n other sections of North Carolina and Virgma are not more than half supplied with milk, cream and butter. Now is the golden opportunity for a 1 farmers to get good cows cheap, t here wasn’t such a bountiful sup ply of hay and other kinds of feed made last year, so now is the time for farmers to get busy and profit by t.ns paying industry, namely that of producing milk and butter, in so do ing we would not only be helping ourselves in a financial way, but be helping the public by furnishing the very best food that can be obtained.
