SLOGANS A slogan is a munieinal crun shell packed with snappy wads. If a town or city puts enough smokeless pow der in, it goes off. If not, it's a ‘dud’. Towns name slogans like mother name children—according to favor, family, or hope of reward, , A ern ■ut enumerator, one of these ten year locusts that swarm out of t le• Civil Service hive to lav waste the land, was getting down the name of a populous colored family when the mother concluded with Morphine, the youngest bov. “Where did you got that name, Mary," inquired the officer. “Well. Mister, one of my pals was reading in a book that mor phine belonged to the wild poprn fambly, and he sho got a wild pony, so I named him for his na."

He is very much in need of a suit of clothes, shoes, eocks, shirts and a change of under wear. He is also in need of a small sum of money and provisions.

A XIlKillliOR. “Bigger They Come” Harder They Fall” *< 'i* (Twin Cit.V Ti nt ncl I “Tin* bigger they come, tilo hsrd t'l' they fall," is a saying that lias rung true in the past few days. In a northern city a young girl and her husband, both earning but $4S a week, apparently were sick ; and tired of seeing their friends riding around in' limousines and at tending cabaret dniiees. Th”y were weary of their every-, day life, and their little flat where they probably had a stove, bed, (ires er and a gas or electric stove. Music drifting through the doors of a dance hail thrilled tlirni and the flow ng of the liquid coupled with the sometimes delicious odors, made i their blood tingle with excitement. They wanted some of this excitement but they did not have the necessary ; cash. Itut tile little brain of the win some maid started to work and down into the financial district she went with a startling tale of getting, rich qu’ek. Among some of the big gest: financiers of the country she told her story and they “fell” for her mus cal voice, sparkling eyes and vivacious manner; in fact, they fell heavily and when they hit they dropped $4f)t>(000 in cold cash into the lap of “somebody's darling,” Of course the girl Was arrested along with her husband, but it proved con clusively that the big ones “flop” sometimes even though they have handled millions of dollars them selves and have fought with the maddening crowds on the floor of the stock exchange. The girl outwit ted them, out talked them and out figured them. She was inexperienced yet her victims accepted her story. She sold stock and then took stock which netted an in ventory of nearly half a million dollars. It if; not always the poor and igno rant that are fleeced out of their hard earnings, but those who class themselves as financiers are some times the ones to “flop.” The case of the “innocent little girl’’ is further proof that “the big ger they come the harder they fall.” Describes Beauty of California (B, Mr.. 11 nitic Jenkins (Lul'ck, Un i' n hotel. 705 Last Pth SC, Los An • . Calif ) I vn v delighted m'-l filled with j v pus happiness whilst 1 stood on the loulv eras: y plains of tli • mountains i of Santa Monica; not more that 15 ; tr.’les from Los Angeh. I had already visited ni:tn.\ ranees around Los Angelas and L always felt ] a keen delight in the beauties of such i mountains. I certainly have enmyen I the lovelv green mountains and hills around Los Angeles. The Sant i [ Munich mountains are certainly lovely j uni in viewing their beauties many j Lively memories rush to our minds. : The fine green grasses which always ! retain their beauties are surely love ! ly, aril when we remend or the happi [ ness of the Indian and the squaw ; when they enjoyed all their delightful j hunts of bliss, and yet the same lovely I green grassy swards cover much of 1 these lovelv plains. As far as eye can I I cnetrate these beauties are eminent to the visitnres eyes. One can pene trate these beauties arid imagine the poor Indian and squaw pr -rent, nr,l so however, when we know all their raves are extinct on tie':e lovely plains 1 enjoy the scenery of the _hioun 1a.m surrounding Los Angele , a: >i there are several very prominent an I I eautiful. Much grading lias been done so that the passing of these high peak's, is lovely and enjoypdde. 1 hive to enjoy these delights at tinus, then there is. the fine tropical fruits of Southern California, which i; re than a life's dream. Gliding through Southern California joy must fill tech heart jus. to look at the trap* imri regions id’ all fr.uils, and all of the sweetest and best. One. can stand and enjoy this lovely scene for miles,1 urd too, the sun's beauteous rays are •t living wonder to behold. What a lovely r ight to see a large orchard or < mi gen, some ripe, some green and others filled with the beautiful blos soi.is. There can be seen orchards and orchards of walnuts of which so many ! arc found, and only tropical fruit isj present. 1 often regret I did not p ur cnase an orange orchard that I might now enjoy the beauties, however that day is in the past. I can now think in admiration from the lovely moun tains to the beautiful graves of South-1 cm California which I behold each day whilst in the enjoyment of my ! car. Dts Moines, la.—A great percent- | age of divorce case ’, should never I come into court, in the opinion of A. G. Miller, a'.’mony collector of Polk county. In his capacity of collector of ali mony, an office believed to be uni que in this country, Miller has had ample opportunty to observe the evils of divorce, anti has formed some definite ideas on the matter. Miller for many years a nolice cap tain on the Des Moines force, was named alimony collector two and a half years ago. His duties are de vot'd cut rely to see'ng that the children of wrecked marital adven tures are eared for. Last, year he col lects d more than $26,000 from di vorced husbands for the support ef • heir children. Divorced wives, though, with only themselves to care for mu. t collect their own alimony. Knforcing Support Miller has two means by which he can force husbands to cure for their children under pain of being sent to jail. One is through a bench warrant charging contempt of -court: The oth er is by indictment on a charge of 'de sertion The latter method, however,, is u id only when the h ; hand ha; left the stale ; and refuses to return. Tie hi-tamvs where Miller has i ausi d men to be '.ot to jail for fail ure to pay the' support, accorded the children by the court are few. Hi ■. t'ori*' in the matter is simple. A .man in jail cannot earn money, and it. .is tV<<> money that the chhlren need. Therefore, induce the man to pay what lie can without resorting to jail sentences. Incidentally, Miller would like to see a change in the laws governing such inses. He would do away w.th jail sentences. In place of them he would give the courts the power to place a man guilty of non-support of his children, in the custody of the sheriff who would work him on county projects. The money the irum earned over that actually needed for living expense would go to the sup port of his children. Some Gann.it Pay.

Store them away clean for another sea son’s wear. THE— WHITEWAY “Shelby s Quality Cleaners and Dyers.” -1C5-PHONES-106 “I have about 200 widows with : children on my books now,” Miller said. “With some men it is hard to sc ore payments for the support of children. With orders it is different, 'then, too, some can’t pay. Iri those j ca. i s we (lo the best we can.” The majority of divorces, Miller believes, are .the result of the state not providing some mrt of a com mon meetinj? ground where the par ties to the suit could meet and “talk ’ matters over." “A quarrel arises in the family over a trivial matter. The wife rushes out, see a lawyer, who lakes her money, assui s her she has a strong case and cautions her against “talking: th*- matter over” with any one. She leaves her home and she and husband do not meet until the. day of the trial, if they meet then. They have no opportunity to patch up their differences. Usually the d. verea is granted by d< fault, as few men will oppose their wives in a di vorce court.” Miller believes thi “common meeting ground” could be provided through the establishment of a re feree in d vorce. Parties contemplat ing would have to submit their case , to the referee. They would have a chance to meet, talk it over, and i then, if the referee decided the case was actionable a petition for divorce j could be filed. “The result would be that In many casGa the man and wife, meeting elsewhere than in court, would “get together,” settle their difficulties,1 and return to their home happy and contented,” Miller says.

Perhaps you yourself have made this same statement a number of times—if so, you will be ! glad to know that right here in Shel by you can now obtain a preparation called MILLERS HERB EXTRACT KNOWN AS HERB JUICE, that will relieve that condition. Thousands and thousands of bottles of this famous medicine have been sold in this ter ritory, and people from all walks of j life are daily being made well and strong through its almost unbeliev able healing powers. The following statement printed below was received the other day from Miss Daisy Hyder, popular and well-known Shelby lady of Shelby for years, and is but further proof i that HERB JUICE is a medicine of exceptional merit. Miss Hyder say«. 1 have found Herb Extract known as HERB JUICE to be entirely satisfac tory ir> e"or va; a? d rladly •,n\ th:s statement that others may know about it. My trouble was all caused from constipation, which had upset me in every way, due to this condi tion, my food would not digest prop perly, w;th the result I was always bothered with gas and indigestion pains, stomach seemed to be full of sour bile, and I always felt bloated after eating and could not rest well at night. A friend of mine told me about Herb Extract known as HERB JUICE, so on her advice I began us ing it. Today, I feel better in every way than I have for a long time, and give this medicine credit for my im provement. My bowels now act regu lar, stomach is in fine shape, and I never have any trouble from gas forming, or that heavy bloatihg feel :ng after eating. I gladly recommend Herb Extract known as HERB JUICE to every one who suffers as I did and am .sure if they will give HERB JUICE u trial they will be pleased too.
