A Landmark Gone :—Heavy’s (By RENN DRUM.) """“What’s that you say— Heavy’s cafe sold?” “No. it can’t be, surely.’’ “Yea, but it is. Heavy has decided to be a rooming house proprietor, and a roaming house proprietor only.’’ ’ Oh, Gee! Oh, Gee! Heavy’s sold. Oh, Heck! And, Oh, Gee! What are the boys go ini: to do when they leave their dates, anywhere from 12 to 2? Perhaps a hamburger at Hoav' ’s place at the late hours when boys go home aft er long, lingering kisses, but Heavy not there to enliven t h e drowsy conversation. How are the beys going to make it ? The old boys could not. No, not hardly. Wishing all the luck in the world to Tommy Foudefl we’ll have to say that Heavy’s place without Heavy Wipulci Ik- about the same thing .> tire Democratic party with no Jeff erson. no Bryan, no Wilson—or baseball with no Cobb, no Speaker, bq^ Ruth—or the prize right racket tyrth no Rickard. Heavy—known when he signs a Pheck as Earl Lybrand—has had . more to do with the scores of ro mances that have budded and de veloped among Shelby youth than aay young, middle-aged wife will ever know. Many a lovers' quarrel has been patched up in Heavy's 666 Cares Chills And Fever, intermiten^ Remittent and ' Bilious Fever Due to Mafctria. It Kills The Oerms. ON THE SQUARE The popularity o f Sinclair Gas and Opaline Oil is due largely to the fact that it is manufac tured on the square and sold likewise.

Purest products re fined to the acme of excellency have re sulted i n Sinclair gas that leads in the * judgment of exper ienced autoists. CLEVELAND OIL CO.

Never has there been a ball game—football, baseball. or what have you—participated in bv I | a Shelby team that, has not been re Iplayed and then played again on ! night after night at Heavy's. Maybe the young fellows of this balloon trouser. hot-shot age can I get along without Heavy 's place. I They’ll- have a hard time doing it But the older fellows, the boys cf yesteryear, couldn't have made if They'd have left town. Imagine Shelby without a Heavy's place three, four or five years ago? Where after midnight you could find Fred Wagner. Jake Rudasili. Dick Gurley. Bob Doggett. Ralph Royster, Jesse Washburn, Harold Griffin, the Hennessa boys. Georg1 Small. Gerald Morgan. BUI An drews. Tom Moore, Harry Hudson— all of 'em? Youths came to Heavy's at midnight tor their lunches, came and passed on with the years into matrimony, and, as life is. other youths were there to take the va cant stools. But what'll the boys just ndw blooming out into Ion, trousers and red suspenders do for a hang-out when every other joint in town has Closed for the night and “hit the hay," Darned if 'we know. Do you? Heavy's roll call was a nightly event just a few years back. It was never written, that roll of Heavy's, but each night it was called. From i the habit of years he knew juot when this boy and that boy would be coming in from hi^ date The early daters arrived first, took chairs and smoked awhile as they waited for others to straggle in. Along about 11 Heavy would take a peep at the clock and sav: "Well, it's about time for Bob. or Jim. or John to be coming. And in about five miqutes Bob. Jim. and John would come walking in. their eyes: blinking at the lights after what might have been "heavy dates' in the dark. Midnight came. The courthouse clock boomed out the hour. Twjs ur "three more shot brakes to their car at the curb. One by one, . or two by two—as they j happened to be dating—they wan- | dered in until Heavy’s gang was | there. No need for a roll call. Oc casionally one or two fellows would fail to show up and the next day, after his late morning nap. Heavy would call to see if he was Sick. DR. CHARLIE H.

The talk ran to this and that as the wee morning hour.-, grew larger—mostly talk that Heavy would start, about baseball. or football, or anything Along about 1 o'clock they'd takp a final sandwich and start home m pu.r Usually by 2 o'clock the cafe was empty and Heavy began shutting up for the night, but mighty few fellows ever wandered in alter a ‘‘late date" to find Heavy asleep and the door locked at any hour. Mothers may expect their wan dering boys in earlier hereafter— not that any of them ever got in*o any meanness at Heavy's But here’s hpping that somewhere over in his Arcade hotel HeavyWill open up a lounge room for the boys to hang out and chat in. especially on winter nights. Heavy : place was and has been an institution in Shelby for years, or rather Heav was and is the institution: Just as much as the court square. th water fountain, and Ebeitoft. Now Heavy's sold out. What memories that announcement mu have brought to many youngsters, and those who have been young sters about the town. And another thing before we so to bed. Arriving in town from the Democratic whoopee at Houston with a cigar in our mouth, the col vum was frequently asked if that, was the best weed A1 put out, and if Smith money was getting . e scarce. Such questions having been asked until they bore we've decided to be trank1 about it: We've never smoked a cigar, or even a cigarette, •that A1 bought, nor have we han dled in anyway anything that Smith money purchased, but. since were confessing we did drink a mug of beer at the expense of :t Hull delegate down to Houston But the court square water is bet ter and were still for Ai as has been. And that's that! Preserve Only The Fresh Eggs Raleigh.—Only "those eggs that are fresh, clean and sound of shell should be preserved or ‘put down ’ for use next winter. One spoiled egg will, in many eases, cause tha entire lot to spoil. ■‘To be absolutely sure that the eggs are fresh and the shells sound, they should be candled," says A. G. Oliver, extension pGuitryman ut State College. "Am old shoe box may be used for this purpose by cutting holes in it to fit the egg and fitting it over a lamp or an elect ire bulb /"This test will show up any por ous or cracked shells and will also show if germination has started. This is a safety-first precaution and as it takes only a few minutes time, should be practiced by every housewife before -putting-down any eggs." For best results infertile eggs should be used but fertile eggs can be used with good results if they are put down each day. If this is done the danger of germination will be eliminated. Never wash the egg before preserving as this re moves the natural protective coat ing on the shell. In preparing the solution, M Oliver advises one quart of water glass to nine quarts of pure water. The water should be boiled and cooled before mixing with the water glass. For containers, a clean stone jar is the best but tin or wood vessels may be used A six-gallcn jar will hold about fifteen dozen eggs. Mr. piiver states that the eggs at the top of the container should be covered by at least one and one half inches of the solution. It is not necessary to fill the jar at one time ; as fresh eggs can be added each day taking care, however, that the i eggs on top are always covered \ with the solution. The containers should be kept j covered to prevent evaporation and ! should be stored in a cool place un til needed. Grow Fertilizer In Home Garden Raleigh—Too many fruit growers in North Carolina depend entirely upon commercial fertilizers such as nitrate of soda and sulphate of ammonia to suply plant food to their orchards. According to H. R. Niswonger, extension horticulturist at State College, these nitrates will maintain growth for a while but in the end some form of green manure must be turned under. “The growth and fruitfulness of a tree depends largely upon tne plant food and moisture content of the soil and this can be maintained by the use of cover crops," states Mi*. Niswonger. During the past year 350 app'2 growers and 150 peach growers have planted sweet clover and vetch in their orchards for soil improve ments purposes. The vetch was sown last August at the rate of fif teen pounds to the acre . and the sweet clover sown this spring at the rate of 15 to 20 pounds per acre. The vetch was turned untiei early this spring with just enough plants left for reseeding. CARD OF THANKS. We wish to extend many thanks to the good people of this commun ity for their help and sympathy shown us during the sickness and death of one of our little twins. Hugh Lee. May God's richest bless ings rest upon each of you is our prayer. Mr. and Mrs. E. D. Clark. “Blind Senator” Greatest Speaker Among Democrats Gr.re May Re Invited To Shelby During Campaign This Fall. Humorous Orator. Since Shelb;, people who heard the Houston convention by radio considered Senator Gore's address as the best made, and since there is some likelihood that the "Wind senator" may come to North Caro lhia during the campaign. The Star today reproduces a portion of the Gore address. The speech, as written below by a special writer at Houston is not complete, as the "blind senator' unable to read had not prepared copies of hie speech, the words ot which merely rolled out as his rap id-fire brain and sure-fire humor kept working. Here goes the featur • writer's description of the talk '.much of the humor is left out >: Then former Senator Gore of Oklahoma. got up to second the ■naming of Senator Jim Reed. Gore, known for year's as "the blind senator." gets the crowd, speaking humorously as. he stares out with sightless eyes, He says the Republican have pick ed their candidate from the side walks of London, not New York. .*Fcur years ago they went to New England for their candidate: this year they hate gone to Old Eng land. He says they'll be singih; for a campaign song. "My Bonnie Lives Over the Ocean. That gets a great hand "Like the story," he goes on, ‘of Remus who was court martialed. A friend asked him what for Oh,' says Remus. T'sc court martialed for a furlong ' "You don't mean a furlong, you mean a furlough *No. sah; I means a furlong: they says I went too fur an' stayed too long.' The conven tion rocks with laughter. "Mr Hoover"—goes on the blind man— we/iy too tur and h>. -lay: .1 too ionp~ "They say that before Novembe:" : —he goes on—"Mr Hoover is goin; to take out his first papers." The whole hquse hot. alls and roars®at that. The “blind senator" has a re markable memory. They say he never forgets a name. Now he goes on to sav that the Republicans al ways win because they stick to gether. and he quotes the advice of a- ©eurocrat. “Let us kies and mat-s up. no matter who wp have to kiss.’ ' More laughter. "We have it on the Republicans in one thing: We won't ihave to. kiss in the dark." He goes oil with his talk about ; Jim Reed But he can't keep from ! wise-cracking. He mentions the ! Republican plank that they "be lieve in honesty." ' [ "Now." he adds slowly, "why 1 bring that up?" - Borah Believes In Santa Clans, There is another gigantic chuckle when he refers to Senator Borah as ; a man who "still believes in Santa j Calus." But how in hell does Eorah know j that they ain't gonna steal no more" he says dryly, and the house ' comes down. Gore is the best thing we’ve had yet. They'll nominate ! him for president if he keeps th>i up. "Brother Will Hays is a better hand at taking up collections than !!!]!!

His motto is Give me Lib erty bonds or give me cash " The G O H elephant has got to go through this campaign with a teapot on its dome," The Convention squeals. The band play.-- a long amen! "The Republican party does not intend to face its record in this campaign. It intends to divide the Democrats upon prohibition and re ligion How can they make an is^ sue on prohibition and religion when they haven't got either one.' ' Whoop.v'oi joy He says they have not "enforced either." He some times thinks the "etephone ought to tie preceded by a white mule " Gore says ne d like to make tills campaign Light against bigotry and intolerance, "if we lose every state in the union." He quotes Hoover as saving . that a program of farm re lief has been, planned. He ought. Gore goes cn. "to make restitution before relief and that gets a hand The Republican administration has been relieving the farmers, it has been relieving them of their farms. The man who gets two-thirds of the votes in this convention ought to get three-thirds of the country s democracy. And that goes for who ever is nominated If there is honor among thieves. there certainly ought to be honor among Demo crats."

Vivian Walker. 7. as they lay asleep m their board ing house room in the Revolution Mill village here. She then shot and killed herself. The bodies of the three were found by Pauline Joyce, daughter of Mrs. Jettie Joyce, boarding house keeper, when she went to call the HJlliards for breakfast The bodies of Hilliard and the little girl, child of the woman by a previous marriage, were lying on the bed. That of Mrs. Hilliard was . lying on the floor. A pistol with three discharged shells were lyioa near the woman's hand Three notes were found on a table In the room all signed by Mrs. Hilliard. One address to Mrs. Joyce instructed her what to do with the bodies. A second was ad dressed to a Mr. Walker, of Draper, the woman's first husband from whom she was divorced. The third, not addressed to anyone, was writ ten as poetry. t None of the notes gave any rea son for the shooting. Probably the biggest thing a farm woman gets out of the annual camp is the three meals a day that she does not have to plant or pre pare t WELL. BOYS, THEY’RE OFF NOW!
