NEWSPAPER HEADLINES ARE frequently ambitious. "Dot-" DtroUyt. generalissimo of the Cleveland County Fair, wants that fact ex plained. The last issue of The St; . had a big headline "Dorton Will Take Care of the Ha6i*r Kt'The Fair Next Week.” Ri«h) iWjjjy, there were those who pictured" in Iht.ir ■ ~--J-V U— 1 minds , the fa r secretary walkin'' about with a yoUing baby under ojir arm. two mere hanging to the oth'r hand, and a half down or to tag i ginfe at his trouser legs begging for ' .

C. ght. dir! not beve the rods? to say in the headline that Horton had made adrangementa to have the babies eared .'or, Those who reed the entire story caught the drift, but many folks are headline read er*- only. And that’s that. THE BABIES WILL HAVE THE time of their'fives at the fair. Those who do not crawl about in the nm sery under the grandstand will mere than hfov nave iho protect - :ng arm of son" young ‘hlek about them v.hile riding th» ferns wheel, or the other spooning zkwipr. Babies, y’knovv. are not usually fend of the dark, but what would, you give to see a movie reel de picting the events in the dark place., of the by;; house, and other unseeing' contraptions, entered - >y cttttfs and their GalShads? TO BE BRUTALLY FRANK about it the real drawing card of fair.week has nothing to do with, exhibits, champion chix, and prize winning pica; To the kiddies fair week means Coney Island snow balls. pop-corn, and rides 'galore; o the petting r.gc it is courting week (hot court week, but sooner or late: when the divorce get. therei. while tire clown get the eye of the old folks, who get the idea that there is' something funny in life. FROM UPCOUNTY COMES THE word that the ministers of thr county and Editor Page, of Kings Mountain, aie in to do come ey plaining for Secretary Dovton. Iri that section, reports have it, the people are somewhat riled about the edict keeping onlookers out of the fair grounds on the Sunday before and after the fair. Perhaps they ; never hod it explained to them As j the col'yum heard it the nwnteters | and Editor Page petitioned fair of j tlcials to take that step. After | thinking it over the fair officials ! agreed. The ministers, you see. j want the crowds on Sunday and the 1 fair wants ’em for five days In be tween. If they go to the fair grounds Sunday the ministers can't get ’em and the lair would more'n likely not gel, ’em lor the five days. So you see? Yes. FROM THE SUBTERRANEAN brain territory comes the idea that the new Indie:; rest room will not I suffer from use since those who j might use it are likely to line up 1 about the tent where living models ! will present .several tajnpus art j scenes to see just how many hus - band', ranker' ir. bv mistake—of ANOTHER THING: THE FEL Icv v.ho '.eld stock in the county fair buck when it first started may dr»p-dcad from, surprise when the.’ i.Cv> a big line c.‘ p -ople forming to get in on iteckhvlders' passes. AND WHILE THE FAIR IS here the colyum would pa:* aior.', a tip to J D lineberger, acting secretary of the chamber of com merce. Why not go out and try to ; ifir. up me of the trained /leas, call it Miss Shelby, and Stave it try a hop to Paris? Find a sea dog, turn the flea adrift and in a week Shelby would be famous. THAT CLEARS UP THE FAIR propaganda. Except that the open ing day Is Tuesday, if you’ve let it slip.
