AIL YOU HAVE TO 00 is my it And You. Too, Will Praise HER# JUICE, Says Charlotte Woman "I fool that if everyone suffering from indigestion and stomach trouble as I have would jut... try HERB Juice, that you would have more boosters than you could possibly listen to.” said Mrs. Mannie MeVton, who re sides at 403 E. Fourth St. Charlotte, N. C., in a recent conversation tvith the HERB JUICE man. Mrs. Mannic Mellon “It certainly is remarkable how quickly this wonderful remedy has re lteyed me of a very stubborn case of indigestion, as well ns a very run down condition.’’ continued Mrs. Mel ton. “Before I started taking your HERB jtilCE 1 would have severe gas attacks after eating. It just seemed that my food would not digest ami I was in a very poor state of heultn generally. My appetite was very poor, and it seemed thnt what I man aged to eat would sour, causing gas to form on my stomach, which bloat ed me very badly and causing me a very uncomfortable feeling. Finally I started using HERD JUICE and after taking only three bottles I frankly admit that I feel like a new person. My food now seems to digest properly and my appetite has 'ap proved wonderfully, and I am, never bothered any more with these gas at tacks. I honestly believe that HERB JUICE is the most remarkable medi cine that I have ever used, and I can not say too much in its praise.” For Sale by all druggists. adv. April Dry Month On County Farms Lack of Rain Puts Farmers Several Weeks Behind in AH Lines of Their Farm Work. Continued reports of “being be- j hind’ on the farms of Cleveland coun ty owing to a lack of rain in April ' are heard about Shelby. Added to the reports are others say big that streams supplying water to power plen|s are getting low, which i? rather unusual for the spring sea son of the year. Ancnt the dryness the Charlotte Observer says editorially: "This is the first time in my ex perience,” remarked a Mecklenburg farmer to the Observer yesterday,■ “that I have planted seeds in the ground and got nothing from th< y round in the month of April.” And j remarks of that kind indicates the ex- ] isting troubles of the farmer, for j April has not only proved a cold j month, but a dry one. In some fields ! octton has popped above ground, but■ in the majority of cases the seed are awaking the rain that will give them life. The season was favorable for j farm preparations and the crops were cast with the best prospects, but the j ground is giving up nothing in the | way of growing crops. The continued j dry weather is creating some concern I in the minds of farmers that we may he even now threatened with repeti tion of the drought of the past year— for that drought hnd its. birth about this same time. It is altogether un likely. however, that experience of that kind could come two years in succession. For all that., whe people are anxiously scanning the weather re ports each morning in hones of some tokop of a coming rain. It is not alone the farmers that tire suffering, but the truck growers anil gardeners are m proachlng the stage of despair. The hope is on an early rain, for without that, gardens and farms will fare badly. Mother’s Day Program At S.

The oicture, aside from its dramatic value, is a mar velous record of a woman holding on to life to complete her last task. As the last scene was shot she collapsed on the lot and had to be carried to her home. Dying a few days later, thousands thronged to her funeral. So great was the crush that five persons were injured. It is one of the mod remarkable pictures we have ever shown. (,y , ^ —THURSDAY & FRIDAY— Norma Talmadge in “KIKI.” This is a super spe cial.

Cleveland Gardner is the sixth child in a family of 17 children, and a son of the late Leonadus S. Gardner of this county. lie was born and reared to manhood on his father’s farm near Lawndale in Cleveland Comity. After finishing the public schools in this county he attended the Hollis High school and Piedmont High School, later graduating with the degree of LL. B.> at our own State University in 1916. It may truly be said of Mr. Gardner that he is a “self-made” man. Being a member of a large family he was compelled to work and pay every cent of his expenses through both high school and college. And upon finishing his college work he immediately located in Osage County, Oklahoma, where he formed a partner ship with Hon. R. B. Boone for the practice of law. Mr. Boone was a native of this State and formerly practised law at Durham. North Carolina, under the firm name of “Boone, Biggs & Bryant,” and known as one of the strongest law firms in North Carolina. Shortly after the law firm of Boone & Gardner was organized, Mr. Boone was made judge and this partnership dissolved. Later Mr. (Gardner was made solicitor, which position ho resigned upon returning to North Carolina. Mr. Gardner has had considerable experience as prosecuting attorney and his many friends throughout Cleveland County feel that he is unusually well qualified for the office of Solicitor for the Recorder’s Court to which he aspires. An Oklahoma pastor in the following letter addressed to the Citizens of Cleveland County highly commends Mr. Gardner, and says that “it is fine that men of his type offer themselves for public service COLLINS WORTH, OKI. A. April 22, 1926. “To the Citizens of Cleveland County, North Carolina: “Recently it was my deckled pleasure to hear that my good friend. P. Cleveland Gardner, a native of Cleveland County, is formerly practised law in Hominy, Oklahoma, where for several now a candidate for the office of County Solicitor. Mr. Gardner years I was intimately acquainted and associated with him. “Knowing, therefore, the high character, the splendid repu tation and decided ability of Mr. Gardner I am glad of the oppor tunity to lend this testimonial in his behalf, in fact I cannot speak too highly of him and his efforts for betterment of conditions in Hominy while he resided here. "In church work he was one of our most active leaders. A Men’s Bible Class was organized and taught by him in the First Baptist Church of which I was then pastor. This Bible Class .soon became the largest Sunday School class in our city.. Aside from that phase of special effort and devotion to religious causes he was a regular attendant upon church services and a liberal subscriber to the church budget. “It is my pleasure to comm'end Mr. Gardner to you and too it is fine that men of his type offer themselves for public ser vice.” (Signed!

Going To College Not So Popular London—Going to a university is lot nearly as fashionable in Great Britain as it is in the United States. In England and Wales the ratio of students to the population ia one to 1,200. In Scotland there is one stu dent to every 400 population, whili, in the United States is one to 300. Dir- Ernest Barker, principal of King’s College, London, told the Con ference of the Central Council of the Ar.socration of University Teachers that, in his opinion, Scotland’s high percentage of college students is due to its educational traditions, while in the United States universities have social vogue. Germany has one university stuuert j to every 600 persons, and Dr. Barker jsaid this high average is due to the concentration in the universities of legal training and training for the service of the state. Englund and Wales have 30,000 stu dents now and Dr. Barker does not expect that number to increase more than 10,000 in the next two decades. He expressed the belief that it is desirable for this increased number of students to be scattered among small universities as larger universities are apt to become “an agglutinative com bination of separate departments, with teachers too numerous to know anoth er in addressing audiences of the di mensions of public meetings.” In his opinion, big universities arc apt to run to seed in “organization” and the heads of departments may be come so consumed in management that they have little time for education. He said the true way for students to learn is to have personal touch with teachers, which may easily be lost iii greater institutions. New uniersities in England arc de firable, especially one in the south west, said Dr. Barker. Knob Creek Grave Cleaning.
