A NOTIIFR RIGHT TIMELY a rji. ..lion that, spring is arriving f.r-i a' In Shelby display windows wiif En. ter egg dye is being ad vi r i PROF. CARR. ONE OF THE ; ;!r : tors at the Sunday school framing. class at Central church IT- last week had a right unioue : l.c related to him by cne of his pU|Ts. According to the pupil’s joke if-ntis s- have learned that as a . :.!■ grows older the roots of bis h.vir grow farther and deeper into his head. If they ftrike brains, or gray matter, the hairs turn gray, hut' if they strike vaecnnm the 1 aiv came out. and baldness re sults. Prof. Carr has a bald pate and lit* a-n’t cot a laugh out of the joke yet, it is said. FRAZIER PATTON, THE bobber, whom this colyum has in troduced on a previous occasipn has n tip for the ladies. It’s danc ing. Square dancing. “If the women want to reduce tell ’em to keep up with me,” he says, “In s;x weeks of souare ['dancing I’ve lost 18 pounds,” he continued. Patton, hy the way, likes the pat of a square dance and when there’s no old-time “swing your partners” in Shelby he goes over to Kings Mountain or where there is one. Eighteen pounds in six weeks. That’s moving—rather, unloading. AT THIS JUNCTION THE colyum would beg the pardon of what readers there mav bo about the first question box in the last issue. The answer given to the first question was wrong. Oh! Al ready found it out, eh? Well, that was a part of the plan. The late II. Tom Hudson was Cleveland county’s first re corder. However, the colyum had ihe answer wrong at first, then ’car' ed the correct answer hut de- j cided to let it run and see if any-1 i no noticed it. They did. Before 5 o’clock last Friday afternoon the telephone had jin gled several times and a personal [ call or so was made to set the colyum right as to the history it attempts to tgach in the question box. Thanks, very much, those tips show that several folks tried the question anyway. Hereafter when you find a wrong answer the telephone num ber is 11. AND THAT GETS US DOWN to the answers for today. Have you already figured ’em out? If not ace if these answers are cor rect: 1. Col. Tsaac Shelby, a hero of the Kings Mountain battl'e. He was governor of Kentucky, where ho made his home after the war. 2. Col. Benjamin Cleveland, also of Kings Mountain fame. •?. Tom Dixon, native of Shelby. 4. The French general, LaFay ette, who helped the colonies win their freedom: Baron Von De Kalb , another Revolutionary fighter. Marion, Morgan, Sumter. Washington, and practically all the streets in Shelby except those created and named in recent years. ">• September, 1875. r>- 42,000 bales. 1924. 7. E. A. Rudasill, better known aa “Uncle Andy”. 8.

Get set for the next ten. pillilii niTTOWE (By International News Service) Toledo, O.—An echo of what was the first of the modern series of postal holdups participated in by women was heard here recent ly, with the return of Wanda IJr baytis, pioneer Toledo woman bandit, who came back after she served more than seven years i the Federal reformatory for we-, men, at Moundsville, West Vir ginia. The woman was convicted of participation in the $1,000,000 holdup of the Toledo main post office. Her brother, Joe Urbaytis ■s serving a 50-year term in the Atlanta Federal prison for 1ho same holdup. Wanda was arrested in Chicane j after some of the bonds which j were stolen in the robbery were traced to her. After the robbery, according to ■ evidence produced later bv the: government, she took $80,000 in' bonds, part of the loot. and fled to l Chicago. There, walking on a street, she saw Rev. Anthony Go rek, who had a small parish ir New Chicago, Ind., and had for merly been a priest in Toledo, where the girl knew him. Without telling him of the con-I tents of the package, she gave it j and asked him to keep it for her. ' Later, Rev. Gorek. reading in aj newspaper of the robbery, and of j the arrest of Joe Urbayus, opened i the package, and the bonds even-) tually were given to governments j agents. The priest appeared as a j government witness at the trial of i Wanda. Aft,er visiting her widowed mother here, Wanda plans to make her home in Detroit. Deer Star Reeders: Me and Sal is a gettin’ desperite over the situation the way things is situated now. Fu a long time we done purty well at our whiskey making busi- j ness til John and a whole lot of other fellers look hit up and nowj thar is an over production. Then; we decided to try our hand at cot-, ton, so we planted half an acre last' year, but our crop along with what other folks raised wuz too much sc-! the government sed, and the price! went down to jist a few degrees > above zero, so we had to quit cot-1 ton. About that time all the papers said fur me and Sal tu go into the poultry business and raise chick-1 ens -and wre wood soon git rich. Them papers air a liar! Sal went and got an old hen and sot her on 13 eggs and everybody else must a sot one too, fur now thar is more chickens than thar ?s any demand fur at present but the price may pick up a little if the supreme court decides that the preachers can col lect what is due on their back sal aries. But as the courts is allers n little slow about deciding anything and me and Sal can’t wait forever about eatin; Sal is agwine to put up a beauty shoppe right here in the town of Casar. I told her hit were not no use to do hit, but she ’’owed that if the women down to Shelby wuz so confounded ugly that they had to go tu a beauty shoppe trt git their faces repaired what could you expect here at Casar up close tu the mountains. Sal will hob their hair any style they want hit and give ’em the Hens Knob curl and not charge ’em much fur the job; but she says that if she has tu wash their necks and scrub be hind their ears that they will have tu fetch along their own soap and pay her 15 cents per hour fur her time. And them wrinkles on your face, hit don’t matter how deep they air Sal can fix ’em. They won’t he no trouble at all if they wuz caus ed by studying about how tu git sum feller tu marry you; but if your wrinkles i - the direct effect of being already married tu sum no account feller, you may have tu make several trips tu see Sal but she will smooth ’em all out in the last chapter. Then another thing you’ll like is that thar v ill he no style nor stuck up doing around Sal's shoppe. Some ugly folks jist because they happen tu have a lit tle more money than othir ugly folks, think that they air not as ugly as pore folks is. Here at Ca sar we treat ’em all alike, fur Sal is no respecter of persons. A pore man has as much right tu be ugly as the rich man has, but hit allers seemed tu me like the rich had a big majority on that line. The old maid and the gay young flapper both can come—them on tuther sside of Wards crick and they of this side air welcome hero. Tu try tu make folks purty is a big job, hit’s a workin again Na ture, hit seems and I told Sal not tu do hit. But she is sot on trying hit and scs hit will he an easy job here at Casar tu the side of that hunch down tu Lawndale and at Shelby. IKK. “Stnrv of Joseph" Ts Play By Miss Howie’s firadf—Ucviv ia!

Two Comely Girls Have Been Pied Pipers In Many States; Fight Antonio Rats _ I _ _ (By Intei'national Nows Service) Ran Antonio.— Misses Helen Caldwell and Fvelyn Waif nr, of Kuntingtnn, W. Va., dispell the old theory that women are afraid of mice or rats. The two comely younif women are professional “Pied Pipers," not running from mice and rats, but running after them. They have been exterminating rats for cities for the past five years, they say. They have been employed by the city health department here to direct San Antonio's campaign against rats which cost the eitv about S1.H5K a year each to feed, according to estimates. Misses Caldwel and Wagar who have worked at the'r “trade'' in ■19 states, use the United States public health service formula of barium carbonate as their exter mination weapon. A Mistaken Belief It is common belief that county newspaper ■ eaten to the money side of ai.y question; fl at they are afraid to condemn wrong for fear it will lose subscribers or adver tising patronage; ’hat it is their duty to expose everything that is not exactly right and proper- -ex cept whfn the individual or his family is personally connected therewith, then of course i, should be suppressed. This is all wrong. A man en gages in the newspaper business to make n living, just l;ke anyone else in any other business. In a general way, the newspaper be longs to the community, hut the owner is alone responsible for it and what happens therein. It is not the duty of a newspaper man to ferret out any mean, contempi hle act any more than it is the duty of a citizen. The citizens of a community are responsible for the immorality of a town, for the breaking of law—not the news paper. How many business men are there in Marysville who will con demn a wrongdoer when they have reason to think it will lose them money and future patronage. And yet that is just what some people expect the newspaper to do. The trouble is the majority of people haven’t the moral courage to stand up for the right Let n newspaper condemn some wrong or expose a scoundrel, and some of these same people will com* around to the editor, privately, ant tell him he has done right, yei [Irhen it comes to saying it public ■r. their nerve fails them and th< paper is left to fight the battle alone—probably against one of its l«>«t patrons. If you have any grievance to make, do it publicly. If a news paper attempts a reform, either j social or politic, that you believe! is right and will result in a bene- j (It to the community, give it your support publicly. Don’t sit back; and say a newspaper has not courage to say what’s wrong until; you yourself rise above the a], j mighty dollar and stand for truth, j honesty and justice. It is the individual and not the newspaper that hasn’t moral cour age. Newspapers reflect tin1 wishes of the people and the com munity as a whole ami are the re sult of existing conditions which may be changed, if at all, by in dividual effort. Marysville (Knns.)
