Be Mrs. Madge Webb Riley Telephone No. 80 .9 d Lowe was also a most oh arm ini' honoree. Miss Lowe is from De troit, Michigan. The foot of the modern girl has within ihe last deeade outgrown the 4B size which for generations was the average size of the foot of the American woman. Athletics and dancing are said to be the j cause. Breeders and trainers of canaries cluim that both the voice and the temper of the songsters are spoil ed by ja’/j music. Walking aids the complexion, ac t'oiding to an expert in physical cul ture, but most of the ladies have their delivered. Now that the fourth of July has ■ passed, there is nothing much to do except labor until Labor Day. How About All This Rain We’re Having? Something’s Got To Be Done About It Or We’ll Be Wet Gastonia Gazette. What of this weather that we are having now? What about the showers that have come almost every after noon since the last of May? How long will they last? There is an old superstition that if it rains on St. Swithin’s day, or July 15, that it will rain every day for 40 days. Look that one over. Thus far, this old belief is being lived out. Last Friday was the 15ih and we had our usual show er although it came a mite earlier than its wont. A display of elec trical forces appeared with the rain and thunder, thus giving the Saint's day a nice start. Since then, every day has seen its quota of drizzle, drop and driz zle. The mornings may be hat enough to sizzlle but the late aft ernoon or night are sure to change that to drizzle. There have been more showers during the past month than there have been in Gastonia since shower baths were invented. One man de clares that he is going to knock the ceiling off his bath room in or der to save the water bill. He says that it rains every afternoon about his bath time, nnd what could bet nicer than a nice shower of rain-! water from the blue cerulean? It| saves soap, too. Really, people about town carry :heir slicker* and umbrellas with :hem much as they do matches and t-anity cases. It’s being done this leason for no other reason than that it rains. And rains hard. Gastoniu’s street sweeping de partment is having a picnic since its job is. being done by Jupiter Pluvius every afternoon. There’s simply no use in going over it all again like some plcaunish house wife who has to follow the m'aid around-to see that everything is' well done. One of the favorite plays to read' around here is “Rain." Raincoats are the principal topic of discus-J sion when it comes to dress and ' rainfall is the main trend of talk among the country gentlemen. The farmers have a lot to kick about or swim about as the case may be if there has been hard enough rain on their farms. The ducks are doing all right but there are little chickens two months old which have not seen dry land yet. Gows have seen so much rain that their milk tastes even more line rain that you get from the dairy. Hay, grain and corn are so damp that they are liable to fer ment and give off liquorous odors at any time. Revenue officers have no right to prowl around a man’s house now because he smells liquor It’s simply the corn fermenting because of excessive moisture. But our merchants fare a little better during the showers. The sun will be shinning brightly, when alt Of a sudden a few heavy drops of rain will send people on the streets scurrying for their doors. Once inside, it is not hard to per suade even n {Scotchman to buy something. If it is matter of buy. ing slickers, rain-or-shine or rub ber boots, it is even simpler. Al most anyone will extract the re quired sum from his pocket and purchase some trifle. Old St. Swithin must have been right. Perhaps when he was born the elements mourned in such a sad lament that the winds howled and the rain came in sheets. His birthday was unlucky for Gaston, because too much rain is sufficient. Who ever heard of it raining all summer? Some fellow down in South Carolina predicted in the winter that it would be so wet this sumer that fish would be coming up for air. And for once it seems that a South Carolinian is right. They sometimes are, you know. What we need now is a little of the old fashioned summer with a few clouds of dust to blow up around our neck. A little sunshine to melt wilting dispositions and tired feelings. Yet, we have some more of July and all of August to look forward to. And as Blue beard said as he slit the throat of his seventh wife, “You never can tell. A true test of honesty is return ing from a vacation trip without a hotel towel. * Aviators are planning to cross the sea in. flocks and may be mis taken for sea gulls.^ i It may or may not be noteworthy, but to spell diet you merely add a “tM to “Hie.’ - JIT THE IVIES - Beam Brothers throw a picture ui the screen tonight one of the beat pictures to be shown here lately, It is Richard Pi* in “Mar. Power.". Alao a Fox News. Tom Mix in “The Broncho Twister" which is due for tomor row at the Princess theatre, makes the Brady mansion look like a sieve. A gang of desperadoes, working for Brady, are holding prisoner Brady’s beautiful step daughter, who wants to wed Tom Mason, the starring role of Mix. Tom shoots up the place and does it effectively, because these scenes were staged just after he had re ceived n “one-man/' machine gun, which Chicago friends sent him. John Barrymore in “Don Juan" is the attraction at the Webb thea tre again today. -The writer saw the play last night, and this is to lie said of it. For a romantic drama which it is,perhaps none better was ever put on the screen. It is exceed ingly spectacular and elaborate, the mere physical aspect of the performance, meaning the beauty of the scenes, will repay an at tendance. Barrymore is entirely convincing in the light-o’-love role, and Jack Dempsey’s Estelle Taylor, rises to new heights in her interpretation of the imperious Lucretia Borgia. It is a rarely good uerformance, one that pleased the big audience, and is more than well worth seeing. - PENNY CHUM - CHURCH LETTERS FOR SALS at Star office.

McNEELY Company -Drama Of The Undefeated■ (By Harry Stillwell Edwards, in Asheville Citizen.) i Year by year the story grows; the wonder story of the South! No I man may prophesy the end! Sixty years ago no human mind neld a vision of the South of 1926. Sixty years ago no human mind wildest dream of her progress! There is romance in it. And poetry! And tragedy! And retri bution! But above all, drama! The drama of the defeated, the crush ed, the ruined, who came back through half a century to win! | For the South has won the victory, j Appomattox was her sunrise, not her sunset gun! Again that faithful historian of ; the S/iuth. The Manufacturers Record, takes up the story of its annual Blue Book of Southern Pro i gress; a book that should be made accessible to every Southern boy j or girl. What we as a people have ■ done is important, often grandlv j but what we are doing is vital. ; ’Tis the forward look that counts, j ■ Here is a part of the story as told i in the Blue Book: The South embraces 969,237 square miles of territory—apuroxi mately one-third of the United States. Its population is 39,711.000; an pr' ximatelv one-third of the whole, j In New England over 60 per cent | of the nopulation is foreign stock, ; and 23.3 per cent foreign born. | Rhotje Island leads with 69 per ; cent of foreign stock followed by i Massachusetts with 66; and Con I necticut with 65. Westward the i percentage runs down to 50. In the South including even Mis | souri and Oklahoma, the percent < age of foreign stock is about 8 as compared with 48.2 for the whole (country otherwise. The West South-Central states have 13.5 per cent foreign bom popula tion: the E^st South-Central only .8 of one per cent; the South At ; lantic 2.1. North Carolina has but | .7. These figures do not constitute i a degression from th^ drama. They l are necessary to the profoundly in j foresting thought that the glory | of America today and possibly her i safety tomorrow, rests with the i Anglo-Saxon blood. The South has 3,32,303 farr\: a ■ little more than half of all in the TInifed States. It has 38.5 per cent of all the farm acreage; 34:5 per cent of the crop land, and 36 percent of all farm property in the South is $15, 462,648,885. A three-fold increase in twenty-five years! We are talk - ing about billions. And about peo ple who stood irf the ashes of their homes sixty years ago and gazed (over only desolation to their hcri I zons. Greater agriculture advantages exist in the South than anywhere else in the United States. Every table of figures proves it. They show, 'too, that the South furnishes about one-half of the commercial truck crops—$156,787, 000. Also more than one-fifth of all the wheat grown in the United ! States—175,000,000 bushels. And more than one-third of all the corn—805,111,000 bushels. And about one-fifth of the oats; 1,152, 418,000 pounds of tobacco—more than 80- percent of all the whole crop; and practically all of the cot ton. Cotton Here is romance enough for a hundred columns like this. Cotton, produced by Southern lab or, under Southern skies, with Southern capital, and ofttimes with none at all! The defeated arise from their ruins of their own homes, paid their debts with their own labor, and turned the balance of trade in favor of America, with one product—cotton. Maybe the answer to “who won th^ war?” is found in one word—“cotton.”! The Allies had it; the enemy lacked it. Friendly labor had it and grew fat; enemy labor lacked it and starved. In 1926 the South produced Swi4.340.000 worth of cotton, and $150,000,000 worth of cotton seed. Other products followed in be wildering figures. Barley, buck wheat, rye, velvet beans, peanuts, sweet potatoes, white potatoes, cabbage, sugar cane, Tice, all hay, sorghum cane, soy beans,' eowpeas broom corn, pears, grapes lettuce, asparagus, peppers, carrots, oranges, granefruit, apples peaches etc. The values run into billions. The diversity is complete. What an anomaly! The greatest “one-crop” producing section, con tinuing and increasing the crop enormously, now shows the great cst diversification not only in America but in the world. Why? Because the South is at once a farm, ahome and a factory. It runs all the way down the At lantic and along the Gulf sloping, as a garden should, t othe south east and south, its bosom bared to the kisses of the morning sun. Be yond ^ts mountains that pluck moifttufe from the clouds and shed it impartially right and left to the eager fields, lie the grain lands that rot in the long,ripening heat of the afternoon, drained by mighty rivers; irrigated by many streams. ' Between the East and West, the mountain slope and mountain valley green with grass and golden-with grain. Why? Because the latitude Is that which has most favored the human race from time immemorial. In it man was born. And the arts, and agriculture, and civilisation. “There Delos rose nnd_ Phoebus sung.” There, too, was Gethsemane of the soul of man—his Calvary his resurrection. Man first Tea ,-«J to be an animal only in the hti tutle of the South and became man as we know him. Why? Because it was this high produce of-humanity' blest with faith, with high }deau of home and heaven, with courage aye, sublime courage! which, h,.ar! ing the banners of the Saxon, came into this heavenly land, set up those banners, ail(j giving themselves to the soil and to God, fought the world to a standstill for their posse.-sions And they still possess them’ What the bold adventurers and their children have done with thcse lands has been crudely outlined But there is a vaster story which the Blue Book holds and this space cannot contain. It is the suiry „f the South’s manufacturers, mining and building and development. The fascinating story of iron, gas, oil, cement, hydro-electric power, cot. ton and trade. Think of the drama behind cotton alone! From con tentment with the first values, crude lint, the South now manu factures 67 per cent of the cotton' its fields produce, and retains at home the second and third and even the fourth vahies as the scale ascends. It is this battle for these upper values that has forced New England capital Southward. The value of the South’s crops and livestock products in 1926 was $5,232,000. The value of its mhnu factures, $10,372,185,00. It takes a mighty fine imagination to hold these figures, but in them is *um% med up the material triumph of the South. Anti much of the spirit^ ual. For while it is true that our. late enemies have ta'ketn our hondsjS and invested otherwise heavily i# the South, the basis of it was faith"' and confidence. And that faith and; confidence the South won on thef field of battle, and by patience^ conservation and indomitable cour age in the long struggle with pov erty, and by the way her peopl lived up to the pledges of AppumaJ tox. When an enemy raises you it i'ri something to be proud of. bap when he stakes his money on yota —and he is a New Englander-4 you may settle down contentedly jn the knowledge that you aret pretty much all right. Limlbergl ’ did not build his plane, fashion hi: i eompass, or manufacture his gas/ ! But he crossed at his objective safely. - *t | And on his own the Southerner! has brought the old ship of state, treasure laden and gay with flut$ ^ terir.g banners across the troubled j waters of ’65 to safe anchorage ii the pleasant harborage of ’2d.
