roimcl lawn H; --SHELHY SlDELlfJB TS— By Itenn Drum. A weather prophet down to ter Is predicting a bad stoi m bout November 3. He doesn’t say but Shelby observers suppose is looking for a come-back of election wind. Alarmists have 1 looked for the time when -ill hot-air of campaign thunder JUld unite and create a devastat ing hurricane. There are two candidates on the county ticket for the November ♦lection that may ot get all the votes, but they do corner more duplicate letters of the alphabet than any of the (their. D. D. Dodd is one of the Demo cratic candidates and C. B. Bubi> is' on the Republican ticket. Kii mii ate one “o” and Dodd’s mime Would be ci mpored'cf “J)’s,” while Bubb has four of the second alpha betical letter; in Ids name. There’s u highway sign down or. LaFayette strmt in front of the Wray-Hudson store that has arous ed the curiosity of paeans-!,; . 1; reads ‘Highway 20 and Highway IE—L or 11,” meaning that the motorist can turn either to the right or left and gc d cri el the*- ot the two highways. High school boys. ivmiPg the *ign, say that such is impossible. One might turn off Lafayette' .to •Liter the left or right and get on highway 20, but according to the city traffic ordinance left turns at the next corner are forbidden. That's one of the wrong asperls about the sign. The other is, how could a motorist going south on LaFayette get on highway IS by turning, eiibo- to the right or left fit the First National corner.' HiO traffic expo t who can solve that problem must be a real wizard. About 21 percent of th* Shelby population will corridor the good year ld'.?6 a dismal failure. f in. e who bank heavily on cotton nrice* reached that viewpoint before last Friday and on that day the remainder of the 21 percent fell in line when the Charlotte Highs he I feated Shelby in football. fn other words it is considered a poor year hereabouts when cot ton sells for 11 cents and Char ; lotto .smothers Shelby in football. But those in need of a little en couragement should remember thi l there’s time yet for cotton to come back and Casey Morris hasn’t turned his boys loose in the chain* pie whip football games yet. The report carries about town and even gets published in a news paper thnt .Shelby •; to havo a new Southern passenger station. It may be just a report. but there’s nothing the town needs worse. A day’s ramble abort Shelby a la Pepys. Cn early.'.forsooth not because of the tootling of the Easiside fac tory whistle, and to towrie at the same hour as Mac McConnell, the Scotch proprietor of ye Pigg'y Wiggly grocery shoppe, doth wend his way to the place where house wives pi.’i: of their own provisions and thereby saveth en the cabbages the price of a clerk’s hire.

(Which mus.. need be explained as Patton doth hath a wife.) For with the modern craze of bobbing among the feminine hotjy-totsies Patton doth be one of the favorite “bob bers,” and with that in view doth he not aid in the accessories of the nocking games by giving to the necks an appearance that wilt at tract the firms of the vouths wear-1 ing of Oxford bags? This old world is fraught with changes. Dad when he was wont to bringerh his court ing matters to close quarters would, say: “That light hurteth my eyes, j Shouldn’t it be turned lol'Vr.” And ye son of these days muchly mod-1 evn doth say as he approaches nen- -1 er to his heart’s delight: “OU tur tle step-ins! what a bob!” And when five minutes hath past the encircling pose of futr.er and son doth appear to be the seine.

PHONE 24 <3 Anthony & Anthony unerergeh BLDG PALE & PEAKED Texas Lady Was Advised by Her Mother To Take Cardui, Which She Did With Good Results. Hamilton, Texas.—Mrs. Gladys Poitevint, of this city, says: “At times 1 suffered awfully with pains across my back and through my sides. 1 would have to go to bed :md stay two or three days at a ! time. It was very worrisome. I managed to keep going, but.... did not enjoy myself at alL “Ono day my mother remarked on how bad I looked. She said: ‘You look so pale and peaked, why don’t you take a bottle of Cardui?’ Sha had taken it herself a number of • times, end it had always unproved i her health, so she thought I had , better try it. “I got the Cardui and began tak ! ing it, and from the first dose or two I could see a change for the better. Too first thing I noticed was that ray appetite was improved. I began to do hungry and I enjoyed my meals. 1 slept better at night. : My it'st was so much quieter that 1 gat tho benefit from it. I kept on i with the Cardui and cook it for , several months. The pains in my 1 bach arol sides grew less until they finally quit bothering me.” Try Cardui for your case. At all drug stores. NC-170 CAM (Continued from first page.) charlotte squad DEFEATS SHELBY the Shelby backs and the result was that the young backs had to look for the ball and ward off a tackier before getting started on attempted runs. It was one of fate’s little caprices that the only Shelby back able to tear through the Chap* lotte line was also the back who fumbled the most. Mauney tore through the Charlotte defense sev eral times for good yardage only to weaken after his gain. Once the Shelby sidelines had a vision of a touchdown when the youth sprinted through the line and sec ondary defense only to fumble and drop the ball when he had practic ally clear sailing ahead. That was the luck that followed Shelby through the game, the fumbles coming when they hurt worst and Charlotte taking trained advan tage of every break. There were occasions when Har ris, Bridges and the olher light weight Shelby backs seemed to be going good only to be smothered ; with a Charlotte avalanche on the ! next play. Contrary 10 that offence i it took practically half of the Shel- j by eleven to hold the charges of | the big Charlotte backs—that is unless Moore or Beam were in the tackling role. Shelby would gladly forget that game, but it will re member the unconquerable Moore. The two lines wobld plough togeth er and a big Charlotte hack -would start tumbling over. Then the sidelines would see his body stiffen. 'gin to waver backward and final ly flop back for a loss, and after a few such thrills the sidelines al avs watched for a dilapidated ar.d battered Moore to come out of the' struggling: mass. The Charlotte ■ forward wall time after time crush-1 ed under the fierce Shelby tackle, I but somehow it seemed he always slipped from the crush of bodies just in time to stop the play. Much Color There was almost as much color to the game as appeared in the classic of two years ago. Bedecked Charlotte cars pt :a<J«d Shelby streets hours before the game with the High's battle cry or “Char-LOTTK! Char-LOTTK!” and just before the game started the Shelby student body led by girl cheerios and Sinelaii "s band formed a snake dance over the field. There after, until the Shelby spirit lagged as the local eleven was battered down, rival cheers filled the air and the general atmosphere was that of 4 collegiate gridiron struggle.

Warns South Not To Get Panicky Over Cotton Now Columbia, S. C.—The federal intermediate credit banks are prepared to advance $200,000, 000 if necessary to meet the present cotton price situation. Eugene Meyer chairman of President Coolidge’s cotton committee, said upon his arri val on a tour of the cotton belt. In a statement issued before he went into a conference with cotton men and bankers of South Carolina. Mr. Meyer warned the South not to be come panicky ever the report ed prospects of a large govern ment cotton report Monday.

THE COW HAS NOT TAKEN HER RIGHTFUL A PLACE IN EVERY COUNTRY— Our Great South Needs More Cows. Our Great Cleve land County Needs More Cows. Cows to furnish milk for people who have long done without it. Cows to furnish milk and butter for boys and girls who have starved for muscle-making, bone making fool. Cow’s to cure a one crop agriculture. Cows to eat crops that should be growing in place of cotton. Cows to furnish a year ’round income, without which no people.are pros perous or happy. Cows to help build and maintain a fertile soil— OUR GREAT SOUTH— OUR GREAT COUNTY NEEDS MORE COWS There are right here in this civilized country thousands of hoys and girls undersized, diseas ed, with weak bones, bad teethe dull intellects, starving for the cheapest and best food on earth— MILK. This old cotton crop is alright to sell one month in a year but it’s treach erous and disappointing when we depend on it the other eleven months of the yean A cieam crop sells every week in the year winter and summer it pays the bills, and keeps tfye money jingling in bur pockets. Our old Southern fields that have been leached And gulled and robbed under the curse of a “one crop” farming can still be patched with Bermuda and Lcpedeza into val uable cow pastures. WE NEED MORE GOOD l COWS We urge our farmers to buy more good cows, more sows, more hens, and cash in on these cash crops 52 weeks in the year, and not denend up on any one crop. We urge you to sow lots of wheat, ' oats, barley, vetch, etc., now, for feed next year. Cleveland County is in good shape, let’s stay in good shape. BUT NOW — RIGHT NOW Is the time to prepare for greater and better things. Wm. Lineberger, I’rcs. SHELBY CREAMERY CO. SHELBY, N. C.

You also have a cash market for your chickens and eggs 52 weeks in the year. | Predict* A Storm During November Chester's Famed Prophet Looks For Sleet and Snow Abcdt Election Time Cheater, S. C.—J. Martin Grant, Chester county unusually success ful long distance weather prophet j predicted sleet and snow early in | November for the middle west and ' northwestern states, and while the I cotton states will not be whipped by sleet and storm they will get a killing frost. His forecast is as follows: “A regular storm period is central on November I, 2, and rr. I The mercury disturbance will also I be felt at this period. As we enter ! November a low barometer will ! change to warmer. Cloudiness and I rain will be in progres* from the i west to east across i.iie country, i The rain will turn to sleet and | snow in the middle west and north i western states, and rising baro \ meter and change to colder. A i sharp cold wave will follow in the I rear of this storm, spreading over j almost the entire country, caus ing heavy frost far into the south i from the 3rd to 4th. A genuine i killing frost may be looked for in i the cotton states central on the i 4th as I have predicted over nine months ago.” A bank in Polk county realizes the value of legumes on the farm and has financed ' a purchase of 3,000 pounds of vetch seed which the county agent will deliver to farmers at five cents per pound below the local selling price.
