Shelby, R-2.—Much early spring gardening has been done in this section during the fine weather of the past few weeks. Misses Pearl and Arthurina Camp gave a party at their home on Saturday night. Delightful games and music were enjoyed un til a late hour after which delicious refreshments were served. A large crowd attended and all report a good time. Mrs. Josie Gramlin of Gaffney, S. C., was a visitor in this com munity during the week end. Mrs. Charlie Blanton and family of Kings Mountain spent Sunday at the hoAie of her brother Mr. W. L. Harrill.

Harrill who has been seriously ill for some time seems to be improving. Mr. J. H. Hawkins has been on the sick list for the past few days. We hope he will soon be well again. Dr. Osborne Gives Prisoners Service The following from the State Prison News at Raleigh is of inter est locally: it has been customary for the past two or three years for the board of dental examiners to give practical examinations of appli cants before it. By doing this work at the prison it proves a goodly saving to the prison treasury, as the work is done free, and is a help to the State Dental board as shown in the letter. In addition to these examinations however the prison has its regular dentist, Dr. J. O. Osborne, former ly of Shelby. Dr. Osborne gives each prisoner the necessary dental attention upon his commitment to the institution. Dr. Osborne also makes regular visits to the outlj ing prison camps to see the teeth of the men are kept In proper con dition. At Caledonia farm however Dr. W. J. Ward of Weldon is the regular attending Centist. The of ficials realize that the proper care of teeth is a well paying invest ment, as bad teeth are often the cause of ill health. WACO TEAM DEFEATS BETHWARE OUTFIT 14-1 (Special to The Star.) The Waco Tigers defeated the fast Bethware quartet to the tune of 14 to 4, on February 7. The game was fast and exciting through out.

Grady led Bethware with four points.

A Thirsty Item. Columbia. S. C.—(INS)—Two hundred gallons of contraband li quor is in the death house of the penitentiary here awaiting “execu tion.” The liquor was seized in the no torious Hell Hole section of Ber keley county and is being stored in the death house until it is dispos ed of. The liquor was placed in the penitentiary by order of Gover nor John G. Richards. Some fellows would be dissatis fied if they had a job counting money on the halves. Near beer is about as satisfac tory as winking at a wax figure in a department store window with a glass eye. YOUNG STOWAWAY 151 APPEAL Youth Who Came From Genoa; Ordered Deported: Harrow | Interested I _ ' Mobile, Ala. — (INS)-- George J Miers, youthful stowaway, issued, an appeal today for any informa- i tion concerning the Miers family j of New York City and Florida, so j that they may eome forward and save him from being; deported. Immigration nu'horities ordered Miers deported following his ar- 1 rival here from Genoa, Italy, Jan uary 23, aboard the steamer' Texas. He had stowed away for five days before hunger caused him to eome out of his hiding place. The attention of Clarence Dar row, noted criminal lawyer of Chi cago. has been called lo the case, and be hns promised to argue Miers’ case before Federal Judge Erm'n, meanwhile he has intotest ed the local firm of Ambrecht & Hand to aid the boy. “There are 125,000.000 Ameri cans in this country,” Harrow sa'd. "One boy of his age who speaks 1 English and claims to he an : American cannot hurt them by remaining here. And if he is an American he should not be depriv ed of his birthright." Miers, who claims lie is 17 years old, says he was born in New York City and taken to Naples, Italy, when four years old. His father was John Miers, an Amer ican, and his mother was of Ital ian birth, but he docs not remem- j ber her name. His parents died several years ago in Italy, Miers claims. When the family moved to Italy, they also took two sisters, both of I whom married and are Jiving in Italy, but he has forgotten their j names. An older brother, now about | thirty-five years old, wss left in I this county and it is he that Gee. seeks to prove his claim that he is an American citizen. George has lost track of his brother and has also forgotten his name. — | In the good old days when a man ! reached for his hip everybody ran.; | Now just their mouths run. 1 "What’s that you call your mule, .Uncle?" i “I calls him Street Car,” nn swered the old colored man. "I ' recond dat mule get mo blame an' ■ abuse dan mos’ anything else in i dis town, an’ he go ahead cheer* j ful like jes de same.” -- Peddler Makes Fortune. Brooklyn—Samuel Ruben, who came as a peddler of ice lif> years ago, has formed a $125,000,000 coal and ice corporation here, which will sell^ore than a million and a half tons of coal in the win ter and the same amount of ice in the summer. t Checks Uncashcd.

Cutler, who recently died, had failed to cash a single one of his salary checks since 1019, am ounting in all to $16,141, In the midst of all the extra dividend news we have so fur fail ed to see where any farmer an nounced a stock dividend or au extra slice of profits. The merchants of Shelby have the goods to sell, and we believe they are entitled to your support. Look into their stores and see for yourself.

SHELBY MILK PLANT Sea Horse Craves Salt Water Bug For Lunch; Nothing Else Will Di By International News Service Chicago.—Fish put human epi cures to shame insofar as dis crimination at meal time is con cerned, according to Walter H. Chute, associate director of the 13,000,000 Shedd Aquarium which is soon to rise-in Grant Park, Chic ago. For instance, according to Chute when a seahorse wants a salt water bug for lunch, nothing “just as good” will do. It must be a salt water bug or the fish will go lunchless. In the same way, when a carni vorous fish insists his prospective dinner be alive and swimming and when a vegetarian fish demands a meal of aquatic weeds or perhaps cracked corn a substitute, how ever delectable, won’t do. Delicacies are necessary from time to time to vary the diet, ac cording to Chute and if one would tickle a fish’s palate, it is neces sar to throw into the pond such things as snails, angle worms, white worms, lobsters, oysteis, , clams, crabs, frogs and houj flies. Gastronomically fish arc divk cd into three classes; earnivoroi and insectivorous, vegotarion an omnivorous. Feeding the latter i Comparatively easy fc,r a]mo( anything will do. Bn. satisfy], the cravings of the vegetarians i fairly difficult for they spUtn ^ . hut vegetable matter while catei i ing to the plates of the earnivoi ous is quite complicated. In the varnivorous group a[ included ..rout, bass, pike and pit! erel. Pickerel and bass insist upo live food. Some fish insist upon the spaw of other food for a change an the aquarium plans to dole 0u herring spawn to such varieties Fish will be fed three times week except Sunday and holiday although a rotating tern o work will require attendants to b i feeding some varieties every da so visitors will be able to fja at ..heir dinner tables. , “where savings are k.catest” —MASONIC TEMPLE BUILDING— SHELBY, N.
