MANUFACTURING CONCERNS, FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS, RAILROADS, ETC., —USE THE— BUDGET SYSTEM By means of a budget system all expenses are determined upon a fixed income. A great many individuals are adopting the ?:udget plan—it is noth ing more or less than a systematic con trol of their expenses- which is a much better means than drifting alcng in a “HIT or MISS” fashion. A simple method is to set aside 10% or more of what you make and figure to live on the balance, and often then there may be some left to add to your 10% fund. Try the budget system for awhile; it may be beneficial. First National Bank SHELBY, N. C, RESOURCES OVER FOUR MILLION DOLLARS. MADE _ cg^itlcltc knownth!.... U. S.

Children To Send Doll Abroad Central Children to Send Doll to Japan For Festival Which Is Held Annually. The primary department of the Central Methodist Sunday school is planning to send a “friendship doll” to Japan. They are anxious for others to do the same. The plan is this: The people in .Tapan have a beaijtiful family, custom celled the “hina matusra** ("festival of dolls). It comes each xvear on the third day of the third month. All the dolls of all the children, their mother’s, grand-mothers and those of preceding generations are brought out of the “ancestral room' for the hina matusra, and what a wonderfully happy day. It is being planned by a commit tee .on World Friendship Among Children to send 100,000 “friend rhip dolls” to Japan to serve as messengers of goodwill from Am erica's children to Japan’s children. There are about 4,500,000 girls in Japan between the ages of 6 and 14. The children of the primary de partment of Centra: Methodise Sunday school are enthused over the idea. We are planning our “farewell party” for our little mes senger for the carry part of De cember. We do not want to be sel fish in this beautiful and wonder ful plan. Wc think it would be a fine thing for Shelby to send at least one dozen dolls. So we are asking the different Sunday schools of Shelby, the Missionary societies of all the churches, the Men’s Bi ble classes, all the day schools, the Woman's club, ihe Kiwanis club, and ary others who will, to join us in sending a messenger of good will. I have taken the matter up with the committee in charge in New York city and will be glad to furn ish any information as to kihd of dolls, time and place to be seijt, upon request. If interested, please let me know not later than Friday, November 12. Yours for friendship. MRS. F. R. SANDERS, Sujt. Primary department of Central Methodist S. S.

CHICAGO RIVER ONE THAT FLOWS UPHILL Chicago,—Chicago has the only known river in captrv.’ty that flows uphill. It is named after the city. Instead of flowing into Lake Mich igan, as a normal river should, the lake flows into the river. This is not a phenomenon of na ture but an engineering feat of man. The river i« formed hv a drainage canal, which in turn con-1 nects with the Illinois river and’ eventually with the Mississippi river. Engineers turned the river back ward so that Chicago’s sewage would not pollute the lake. As n river is probably has caused mor«, Kiief and cussing than any other. ! Chicngoana every once in a while ! wonder what should be done with ! it I Some would like to bridge it over with a wide boulevard; others want to fill it up, while another group, l railing at the government which | maintains that it is navigable and | must be kept free for traffic, want j t«> ban it as a carrier and put in ; fixed bridges. After moving west a mile, the river divides, one branch meander | mg north and the other Routh, so that Chicago’s loop, virtually is an island. Proponents of the boulevard idea hold that the covering of the | - treem would rtdiove traffic and give the downtown area a larger j breathing space. All bridges across the river, and | there are scores of them, are mova ble because every once in a while a flat boat pulls through carrying I a long freight car or n sh'mr -t rime -kind moves inward, halting street traffic as one bridge alter i another is lifted. I Those who wish to see fixed | bridges installed are petitioning | tlu government to rule that the stream no longer is navigable. But the war department suil holds that the river must be kept open to ship 1 traffic. Automobile Salesman—This con i trots the emergency brake.
