With some of them like this (), arul some of them like this )(, they still wear skirts shorter and shorter. THE MASONIC ORGANIZA tion is a secret brotherhood, and the strength of the fraternity here may be noted by the hand some Masonic Temple on the cor ner of Washington and Warren streets, but perhaps it is not giv ing away any of the vital secrets to say that on Friday night when the lodge meets to elect its offi cers, following an annual custom, the big Blue Lodge will seem empty no matter if every one of the comfortable seats is filled. Just last week these Masons buried the man who has perhaps given- more of his time and mind to Masonic advancement than any other in this section of North Carolina. Of course, all Masons V.reaboit's know the person re ferred to, but for those not so well acquainted with Shelby and not Masons it might be said that the man was the late Will R. Hoey. He served several times as mas ter of the lodge and oft filled every chair of the lodge. How ever, his big role was that of coaching Masonic candidates along and being a brother and a friend to them. The candidates to whom he has taught the rituals of Ma sonry number over n hundred and they perhaps knew him better than any one outside of his parti cular family. They loved him. That’s saying enough. So, as we say, every chair me.y be filled Friday night, but there will be an empty chair. The Ma sons present will sense it, for few Masonic meetings have been held in many years that were not at tended by man who will not be present Friday night or thereaft er. But some time bac'- tS-> lodge decided to hang the photo graphs of all past masters in toe big reception room, and that to gether with the friendship left be hind will remind many of his prei er.ce. THE STY HE NEWS OF KE cent days has it that the dainty little thing known as the Flapper will wear only 12 ounces of clothing this summer—who’d a thought it weighed that much ?—; and that he-men are to begin wear* ; ing silken step-ins. Clothiers for men in Shelby so far have not filled up their shel ves with the new undies for men, and so far, they say, there has been no demand for other than the various makes of Beevcedees. So those who worry about Shel by's declining manhood need wor ry no more for a time. But ^he 12-ounce outfit of the young lady recalls to the mind of Eugene Ashcraft, of the Monroe , Enquirer, just how the sweet young things dressed back in the 60’s. He quotes the following ’ style edict for flappers of that day: (Please compare with the 12 ounce rig.) “How should our girls be dress ed in winter? In the first place make a waist of canton flannel; let the sleeves be long. Make a pair of drawers of the same mat erial, long enough to reach the top ; of the bootee, and button them up on the waist; then flannel gar ments made in the same manner except the drawers; they should be finished with a band and but toned just below the knee. Next the hops (if they must have them, I but girls arc much better off with | out them), and over them a warm, I light skirt. Lastly the dress, which should be a woolen mater ial, made with long sleeves and l the waist and sleeves lined with i cotton. Strong boots with heavy | soles and warm thick, woolen stockings. When she goes out she ! should wear a warm sacque and , mittins.” I TODAY’S QUESTION: IT WAS Pershing who said: "Lafayette, i we are here,” now who was the American who dropped down in Paris with the remark: “Well, here we are”? And who was j “we" ? No prizes will be given for per ; feet answers, but those who do not answer 101 percent will take the I head of the nincompoop class. MEMORIAL EXERCISES AT ELLIOTT CEMETERY OX JUNE 5. IS ANNOUNCED Editor of The Star. In conformity with usual cus tom, memorial exercises will be observed at Elliott cemetery on the afternoon of June 5, 1927. The graves will be decorated at 2 p. m., by friends of the departed, aft er which will follow an address and vocal music. ■•**«» It is here suggested that a day 1 he appointed beforehand, say May I 28. 1927, or June 4. 1927; to clean off the cemetery and adjust the graves. This is a beautiful cus tom and has become quite prevalent at all rural burial places in this re igion; and suggests the quotation from Rudyard Kipling’s ‘•ReeeS j sional", ‘Lest We Forget.’ Double Springs Notes Of Interest A Smallpox Scare Is About Over —Personal Mention of People (Special to The Star.)

Constantinople.—A dress model is to be designed by the UnFn of Turkish women. Its object is to invent a moder ized national costume that shall be economical as well as elegant, and so prevent the present extra vagant spending on European models. There will he no attempt to do away with the new taste for di versity of color, and sufficient range variations will be left to satisfy individual tastes, but form and line will be made uniform. Latterly the light veil, which was the last relic of such dress, has given place to a colored scarf headdress imitated frotn Russia. This alone now distinguishes Turkish from foreign women, and it is itself threatened by the grow ing adoption of the hat.

Her screams brought her nurse and several neighbors to the scene. The would-be kidnappers were arrested with the witch doctor and a number of his patients. Mr. Hill Hudson is spending this :week ii. Baltimore ou business. State Cotton Crop Biggest Of History North Carolina’s Yield of Lint Per Acre Led. Good Conditions Throughout South. Raleigh,—The largest cotton crop in North Carolina’s history was produced last year when 1,21)4,490 equivalent five hundred pound bales were ginned to March 21 of this year. This was also the first time that extra good cotton con ditions existed throughout the en tire Southern states, resulting in the record crop of 17,910,258 bales finally ginned. North Carolina’s share of this crop showed an average of ove! 290 pounds of lint per acre from 1,985,000 acres picked. This yield is the largest of any of the cotton belt states. An abandonment of 1.5 per cent since the June 25 first estimates were made, was allowed. It will be recalled that corn* tions a year ago were very dry, and considerable shifting of cotton acre age occurred during June. For three years, the general criti cisms rnised against the govern ment’s estimates, during the grow ing season and particularly during August and September, have quiet ed down as the final harvest ap proached. The unusual shifting of the acreage last year was account able for the 3 per cent difference between the December 1 estimate and the final ginnings. The two years previous showed almost ex actly what the government had forecasted. The estimates are usu ally below the final ginnings in North Carolina. In North l arolina, Juno 25, 1920, there were 2.015,000 acres in cul tivation. In all of last yoar 1,985, noo icrrs were nicked; 290 pounds of lint were yielded per acre: 1 - 204.000 hales of 500 pounds each were nvoduced; and the ginnings < f tho 1920 erop to March 21 of this vear totaled 1,204,490 standard bales. Texas surpassed all Southern states in all respects, hut fell con siderably under the North faro lira yield of lint per acre. Okla homa aeme next below Texas, fol lowed by Georgia, Arkansas. Mis ■ i-.sippi. Alabama and South Car oli"*>. None of these states how ' — "-< e-trnassed North Carolina in lint yield per acre. °apre Highest Paid Employe Of State Draws Limit Allowed By I,aw, $15,000. Heal'T Officer Ranks Second With $8,000. Raleigh. —Road-builders and doctors are the highest paid state employes. Lawnmakers and the governor aren’t even in it. Drawing $15,000 a year, the maximum allowed by law, Frank Page, state highway commissioner, sits at the head of the salary list of the state. Next comes Dr. C. O’H. Laughinghouse, state heaKh officer, who gets $8,000. The gov ernor ranks third, endorsing his check for only $6,500 a year. The goverhor receives in addi tion, however, free rent, servant hire, an automobile, and $600 an nually for traveling expenses. Legislators get $4 a day for th" j constitutional 60-day session. If they stay longer it is without pay. A bill to submit the proposition of increasing legislators’ pay to the people was passed by the 1927 assembly, which also authorized the boosting of Dr. Laughing house’s salary. Bills aimed at'- in creasing the pay of other state officers and minor officials were murdered without ceremony. Su preme and Superior court judges were successful in getting in creases, however. Dr. Laughinghouse is now get ting the maximum salary allowed ' his office by law of virtue of ac tion of the state board of health at Durham last month. The legislators are seeking $600 a session for members and $700 for the speaker of the house and the president of the senate. The also want $8 a day for extra ses sions, not to exceed 20 days. The question will be passed upon by the voters in the election of 1928. Judges are better off as a re sult of the last assembly. Supreme court justices now draw $7,500 a! year and Superior court judges are [ on the payroll for $6,500—an an- J nual license of $1,500 in both cases. Salaries of constitutional offi cers of the state are fixed at: Secretary of state, $4,500; auditor, $4,500; public instruction, $5,000. Most other offices pay $4,500 ex cept that of revenue commission er where the pay is fixed at $5,500 and traveling expenses.
