We wish to call your attention to the fact thet it is, and has been our custom to charge live cents per line for resolutions of respect, cards or thunks and obituary notices, after one death notice has been published. This Will be strictly edhered to. MONDAY, JULY 5, 102G. TWINKLES. If outsiders were told as much of our local beauties as are the natives, how the otate would spread. There was little kicking it is said in the fight at Raleigh be tween the one-legged man and the no-legged man. A Rutherford negro, living to the century mark, has tasted ll quor only one time and that when he was sick. Perhaps that little “toddy” was responsible. Shelby banks are paying divU dends and being the financial in stitutions of a community, no better business barometer could be asked. ONE improving fact about ... Saturday’s primary was that ev ery candidate did not state pub licly that he was positive of win ning. News is again dull over North Carlins. Proof of the fact bein,T contained in the frequency of Raleigh poltical stories of recent weeks. The Star would offer congrat ulations to the winners of Satur * day’s primary, and consolation ... to the losers—that is. if-losers who receive such handsome : »otes need any consoling. % A new successor to the boll weevil is being renorted in some sections, heralded as the green flea. Naturally there had to be „ something to feed the pessim ism. v , It is a timclv move made by the Chamber of commerce in censoring unworthy advertising. The right kind of advertising Is of great value, while the othOi tvpe is worse thru money cast 'i away. The era*' of th° Asheville rnirsj later and his friends is ore wherein the oualit’os of • • >i friendship may he tested. TV-. " Chapnell may lose numerous friends over the incident bet o"c i of those who sticks by will be ' worth a dozen of the deserting type. Congratulations are in order to the Waco that shined over the week-end as the result of the turning: on of electric lights there at the ^omnletion of the Waco plant. Which is another step in the general progress ot Cleveland county. ROADS AND FARMS Sam Lattimore. Cleveland county farmer, had an interest ing topic to talk on at a land bank meeting in Columbia last week. “What has Good Roads Meant to the Farms?” North Carolina’s agricultural progress the buildinv of a great highway system might be taken as an example. Rut to get a more direct answer to the ouery, ask a Cleveland county farmer who motors to the market now, yet remembers when he made similar trips with his father a quarter of a century back. ANENT A MATTER. £: The outcome of Shelby’s halt holiday during the summer . means little or nothing in terms - of the holiday itself, but it speaks none too welifor a reoui site apparently missing—that of , co-ooeration. Without presenting a brief . for or against the half day clos ing The Star would go on record as not. enthusiastic over matters B that have come up in regard to the situation. One way or the other there should be cooperative agreement. When it isn’t present in minor matters it’s a certainty that ft will be missing during important situations. Shelby should be large enough by now to overcome the rivalry of the cross-road town. But is it? GOOD BOOSTERS THEY ARE. What will AsheviUes flappers and curbstone cowboys do next to attract the attention of the reading public? In the years to come when the historian of Carolina’s mountain metropolis outlines the growth of the town due credit should be given these young folks of the af<er-war creation. Some thoughtful editorial writer noticed the other dav that although Asheville is a health; resort the citv has a larger per centage of physicians than any other in the state. And likewise, could it be that some flappers and more sheiks wind their way to “The Land of the Skv” after hearing of the many rides and episodes of Asheville’s younger set. rejuve nated by modern Websters into flappers and sheiks? Value of Liming in Improvement of Soil Productivity Greatly In creased by Application. (Prepared by th« United Stuteij Depart nent of Agrioulturff.) The productivity of ninny soils can be greatly increased by the applica tion of lime. Lime arts various ways; It helps to break down organic matter. It corrects acidity, and it improves the physical condition of the soil. By hastening decomposition of the organ ic matter, lime helps to make such matter available ns plant food for whatever crops may be grown. Lime should not be applied to soils deficient In organic matter, however, especially in warm humid climates, without tak ing steps to maintain or Increase the supply of this essential Ingredient, ns, otherwise the outcome vylll be a de cline In yields. The best way to in crease the amount of organic matter In the soil is to apply manure or turn under green crops, such as crimson clover, eowpeps, soy beans, red clover, and hairy vetch. On some low-yield ing land the ttiming under of a good growth of crimson clover has doubled the yield of the succeeding crop. 1,1 me Is frequently used to correct acidity, a condition widely found In the eastern part of the I'liited States, and detrimental to the growth of cer tain crops. Another result accomplished by lim ing is nn improvement In the physical condition of the soil. Soils of u com pact nature are rendered more per meable, in consequence of which they become more retentive of moisture, less likely to wash, and more friable. Sandy soils also ore benefited, being made more retentive of moisture. Ap plication of lime is particularly bene ficial in the case of leguminous crops such *ns clover and alfalfa. Liming .may also increase the availability of other minerals, such ns potash, by ren dering them more soluble. Detailed Information relative to liming soils may be obtained from stale agricultural colleges or the United States Department of Agrleul tore. Good Points to Observe in Raising Baby Chicks Till' old HllngC "blond will tell" is II tnii' tun* in regard to Imliy chicks, ac cording to .1. \V. I .unit), Kansas state agricultural veterinarian. A danger oils clik'ken disease, bacillary white diarrhea, Is t rims in I tied through the egg of the mother hen to her off spring, according to I.umli, and while the Infected hens show no visible symptoms of tho disease the germ Is present and affects the young. As n rule the noninfected hen will produce o(* more ^ggs annually than will an Infected hen, While the eggs of the former have a higher percentage of hatchablllty and the tier cent of liv able chicks from the noninfected hens is four times as large as the number of chicks from diseased hens. Cardinal points to observe In either hatching, buying or raising baby chicks are: 1. Procure eggs or chicks from test ed flocks or flocks known to be free from disease. 2, Do not hatch eggs from tested and non-tested flocks in the same In cubator. .1. Disinfect incubators, brooders and houses. ■4, ltaise chicks on ground not used for that purpose ttie previous year. f». Follow a carefully worked-out system of brooding and feeding and thus maintain all the natural resist ance of the chicks to disease. ■- v, Rotation Is Advisable in Producing Tomatoes In tlie production of tomatoes crop rotation is advisable regardless of soil type or locality. By this means losses caused by insects an” diseases are ma terially reduced. ... an ideal rotation tomatoes will not ..cllow tomatoes nor will there be included potatoes, pep pers, or egg plant, because of the dan ger that the latter crops may transmit diseases affecting the tomato. In gen erul, tomatoes should lie grown in a rotation covering at least four years and Including one cultivated crop in addition to the tomatoes and one or more soil-building crops. Doddu's Eweninff .

He hud decided he would see] - -,, both people JUKI animals, anil also lie would take h look at some ol old Mother Na ture's very own children. First of all mi lle Brownie went to call on Maggie lie wore hit Invisible coat so Maggie didn't see him hut she talked to him and told ldin her thoughts right out loud. “I Envy You Lit- °f c,’urs0 s,le tie Paddy." talked directly to Paddy and not to Illllie P.rownle, hut Itillle P.rownle knew s!ie was quite willing he should hear what I’nddy was hearing. "Oh. Paddy," said little Maggie. "! wish I were you. I am so tired and I've lind grippe. "I have to undress at night and go to hed and In the morning I must dress again. “And I'm still so tired that it Is nil such an effort. You can just lie down and you’re In bed for the night and with n Jump you can get up and he all ready for the day. "I do envy you, I’addy. You lead an ensy life. "When you don’t feel well you don't have to dress and undress, and even when you feel well you don't have to go to such a lot of trouble. “Dear me. but I envy you, little Paddy,” Maggie said. “You're a very lucky, lucky little dog." plllle went nest to call on three children nnmed Donald and Erie and Michael. Donald was the youngest of the three and lie was wearing a bright blue sweater and Ids eyes were bright blue and Just matched the sweater. Ills hair was golden, Erie and Michael were older and they looked older, too Donald looked- still like a very little boy. a very beautiful and lovable lit tle boy. They had so many nice toys nt their house. There were toys and toy pets made of fur—such nice pets to love. There was a little man made of fur with arms and legs nnd a body of fur. though Ids head and hands nnd feet Were of stuffed cotton nnd Ids eyes wore heads and bis mouth and nose of worsted. He was a very handsome little man. Then there was a pine cone bird. It had been made out of a pine cone anil was a very unusual, hut quite Inter esting looking bird. There was a queer black cat toy which could do tricks. So as you can see the toys nt the house where I>on aid and Michael and F.rlc lived were Interesting. Then Billie Brownie saw an eld friend of Ids—an Airedale dog which had spent his time, or much of Ids time, looking out of a window of a city house and had grown to know all the neighbors upon the street. He had sat with Ids front paws and legs out of the window and had looked up and down the street for hours at a time. Well, Billie saw that he and Ids faintly had moved to another street, and he recognized Billie and Billie recognized him and they both nodded nnd spoke to each oilier and were .lust ns pleased as could be to see each other In this new neighbor hood. Then Billie saw some camels and he thought how dignified they looked la spite of their humps and the bundles on their backs and the way they were packed for work, nnd even In spite of the way they chewed. Their months moved so peculiarly, and they were, certainly, oddly shaped. nut they had n great dignity about tliem, a true dignity in the way they held their heads. And Rillle saw i sunset. He saw tiie sun going tie hind a hill Just as lie was about to turn u eorner to see It and he thought It was slightly inconsid erate of the sun to be a slaTe to his habits that he wouldn't stay up a second later to see uu old friend. Queer Black Cat uut then lie saw him a little fur ther down the line of the horizon where the hills were lower so that the sun was still above them. Oh, the sun was so red and the hills were so blue, but certainly the sun did keep to his hours and certainly he was a creature of routine. Still it was the best way, Bill!* knew. It would be very upsetting should the sun take to acting queerly! Surface Salvation Sunday School Teacher—Now what boys and girls, Is the golden text toi this Sunday?
