TWINKLES The fciscball season opens at: the high school park today, and as far as sporting Shelby is concerned, Spring has ar rived. ,Ndw that he has brought and then non-suited two big dahiiaHe ciises in local courts it seems as if this man Van-;j has1 received sufficient publicity to run for some office. TSie Raleigh News and Observer announces that on Sun day it'vnlitell just what the recent legislature did. And un less we miss a guess there may be a few of the lawmakers who will read the paper to find out just what was done. Enforcement of the laws is the chief item on the Hoo ver slate, it is said, and whether or not Mr. Hoover gets fhefn enforced, it must be admitted that the non-enforce ment of the law is the chief drawback to America of recent years. The change in the city charter making it so that the nexf mtfyor of Shelby will have to have a majority vote to go iri office came along at an opportune time, for on the fol lowing day Shelby’s list of candidates for the office reached three with more than a month to go before the election comes off, f a ' a * At this time it may be appropriate to remind that after the first announcement of a political candidacy, which is news, that The Star has ah advertising rale which applies to future boosts of any candidate’s qualifications or to criti cism of an opponent’s lack of qualifications. All of which ji heralds, in a mild manner, the approach of another election in Shelby. The recent disappearance of a Charlotte minister was headed by one newspaper in this manner: “Minister Leaves Flock Waiting.” Of course that minister or no other min ister has ever had to wait on his flock either for his salary “ or to have them hear him preach; neither has he been in terrupted during his sermons by members who waited too late before starting to church. Oh, no! It all depends upon where you get your news from Ra leigh af to what you hear. Early in the week, just before the Mjo.Urned, afternoon papers headlined that the leglslatut# Ttad been “antagonistic” to Governor Gardner. A day or so later at least three morning papers summed up the legislative session as one of friendliness to the leader in the executive mansion. With such conflicting reports it is presumed that one at long range will have to be content with the impression that Governor Gardner and the legislature got along “so-so.” f WORKING THE PUZZLE i, as Will Rogers might say it although more intel ligently, the North Carolina General Assembly has end ed its season, during which the lawmakers passed 1,080 new laws, aherit Miich the people know’ very little about, and it could be that the creators know very little more. While Governor Gardner is in the appointing mood it might be well for him to appoint some cross-word puzzle expert to ex plain those 1,080 new laws we are to obey. Just one thousand and eighty new laws and just about 80 of the many thousand we already had being enforced now and then. And if you do not believe that it takes an expert to interpret the material for our new law* books, just ask a school man what there is to the new school law. He doesn’t know, and if he doesn’t, who does? NEED ANOTHER AYCOC'K •yHE recent legislature, among its other deeds worthy of commendation, fittingly honored the late governor, who has been revered for years throughout the State as the “im i mortal Ay<#ek.” Of that recognition The Gastonia Gazette says: - In its closing day the General Assembly passed a bill providing for the placing of a statute of Charles B. Ay cock in the remaining niche the State has in Statuary Hall in the capitol at Washington. It was a fitting tri bute to the memory of a man who was known as North Carolina's “educational'' governor and who was more largely responsible, perhaps, than any other man for instituting a renaissance of learning in the Old North Siatfe. AycOck’s name is indelibly stamped on the pages of Nprth Carolina’s history and the honor thus bestowed is but a modicum of our debt to him for his life and labors. That the selection of Aycock to fill the only remain ing place the State had in this National Hall of Fame will, we believe, meet with general endorsement over the State. Tlfft honoring of Aycock will, without doubt, be gen erally approved by all North Carolinians, and in line with tfie"thought, and in view of North Carolina’s recent apathy about Schools and educational facilities,* perhaps 'the hon oring of Aycock may induce another man with Aycock’s edu ducational vision to come forward now. Certainly another ■such leader is needed.

X can stretch a dime from a grocery store, thru a meat market, and half around to the baker-shop be fore it shows any strain. I pet a nickel Just like a flapper pets a poodle. Yes sir ree, I know the value of a quarter from experience. Now when we find ourselves In need of some talcum powders, we don't: rush down to the drug store and pay a dollar and 75 cents for a 36 cent package of Madame Hoooski's Beauty dust, tut instead —we go to the 10 cent store and get a big 5 cent package of talcum powders for 2 nickels, and fetch It home and open it and drop in 2 or 3 drops of Hoyt's German cologne, and presto I We have a pound of high grade odor smotherer. And when we get hungry for chicken salad, we simply buy a cheap beef roast, and bake it the first day, and eat a few meals therefrom, then we re-stock it into what is known as hash, and we cat ja few meals from that concoction, and the residue—meaning the re mains of the original roast, is tak en and a few cubed Irish potatoes are added, plus a small chicken feather now and then, and before anybody knows it, except the home folks, we are serving chicken salad sandwiches. Ol course, as everybody knows, hair cuts are selling for 33 cents in most towns. Such things are nec essary even In the mo6t disrupted families, but being 73 percent bald headed, the said baldness being caused from having too much sense when I was young, I see no | need of spending so much money for a haircut when I have no hair. I get a first class tonsorial trim ming every December, and during January, February. March. April, and May—my wife shaves my neck, and long about July, she takes the sheep shears and severs the long hair that is trying to crawl down my back, and by thus exercising her culinary art of elimination, I manage to go to December again before having to darken the door of a barber shop. Shoe shines are another neces sary luxury in this complex civili sation of ours. I get a good boot black tl out of every 99 is of that stripe) to give me a real shine about once every 3 months, and after that —I won't walk in the dust, or kick anybody if their britiches are dirty, or stumble over anything, and by being careful. I manage to keep my shoes looking fairly good for a long time, but brush them off with my handkerchief just before I go into the church, or meet a good-looking woman. I certainly do save my money Since the war. I have bank ed $2 95.

Only to say ipers, "Native of North Caro Nobody’s Business CEE McGEE— (Exclusive in The Star in this section.) of fistic history was pulled off last last night in Bill Johnson's pas ture, the contestants being Mike Clark, rfd, and Max Sexton, the former champion featherweight of Wild Hog and the latter the cham pion heavyweight of Devil's Cross Roads. The fight was refereed by Lou Cusser of Punk Row. The fight by rounds follows: First round: Mike rushed from his corner before the whistle blew and gave Max a strong upper cut, and knocked him against the rails. (N. B. The ring was composed of a vacant hog pen.) As soon as Max got up. he rushed Mike and they clinched. The referee pulled them apart and removed 8 wire nails from Mike's right glove, and a whet-rock from Max's left glove. Then the whistle blew again. Score: I hit. I run. Second round: Mike and Max both danced around in the center of the pen. and while Mike was blowing his nose, Max gave him a hard kick in the seat of his pants —and the Impact knocked 3 rails from the ring. Mike retaliated by catching Max by his thick black hair while he biffed him with his brogans on the shins and knee caps. Lou could not get Mike to turn Max's hair loose, so he got a pair shears and cut the bunch of hair off so's the fight could pro ceed. Score: 2 hits, 2 runs, 5 er rors. Third round: Max rushed Mike and struck him on the head with a piece of stove wood which he had concealed in hi? overalls. Mike showed a come-back by grabbing Max around the neck and biting a big chunk of hamburger from his left ear. Max then kicked Mike in the stummlek and it looked like a knockout, but the apparent end of the fight was due to the fact that the concussion of the contact of the knee of Max was so sudden and un expected that Mike swallowed his squid of Browns Mule, and natur ally that dared him for a few' sec onds. Score: No hits, 1 run, 7 er rors. Fourth round: Mike landed sev eral heavy blows on the referee's left Jaw and butted him in the right side before he found that Lou and Max, and while Mike was back ing away from Max to avoid a drive to the eye, he stumbled over a slop bucket and fell sprawling, and Max landed on top of him and proceed ed to®Jelly-fish his face, but Lou managed to pull him off with the help of all 3 of the audience. At this juncture, the bets shifted from. 5 cents on Mike to 10 cents on Max. Fifth round: Neither one or the fighters was able to get up during this rouaid, so the whistle blew, and the seventh round began. Max threw a rock at Mike, and hit Lou on the head, Mike spat in Max's | face, and Jerked his suspenders off and while Max was holding up his britches, Mike beat the lard out of him with his left, and while neith er was knocked out, Mike got the decision. “Cro6s-Eyed” Capon stood in Mike's corner, during the fight, and some think that influenced the referee wrho owes Capon 3 dollars, therefore the fight may be held again in April. Score: 7 lilts. 2 runs, 6 errors, including the referee's de cision.

Ill, NO. 6 Virginia-Carolina Chemical Corporation Copyright 1929 Laughs at Weevils They've found a new cotton called the Acala variety, that laughs at the boll weevil. Rut just to keep thing* in balance, they’ve found a new boll weevil that laughs too. Acala cotton, first discovered in southern Mexico in 1906 by this government, is a superior upland type, says the U. S. Department of Agriculture. It is one of the earliest, and most prolific of the kind and produces better and longer fiber than other large-boiled varieties. It grows so fast it beats the weevil, and Acala cotton brings a premium in communities that are careful not to mix their seeds. As for the boll weevil, he’s called the Thurberia. But that’s another story. -V-C "I have used V-C, and although the boll weevil hit our county hard I made over a bale to the acre.”— J. W. Long, Tarboro, N. C. v-c “You would not try to overdraw your bank account. You should be equally sure that you do not overdraw ' your soil fertility account'”— N New Yobi Central Lines. ^ -v-c Gold Dollars from Waste Cottonseed oil was known among the Chinese before 1700,—ahundred years ahead of the rest of the world. They burned it in lamps, feeding the rake to cattle. Then some chemist whose name has been forgotten dis covered that the oil could be eaten. By 1890 over a million tons of seed were being crushed—for nothing but the oil. Little by little other developments were worked out, first for separating the seed from the hulls, thus getting more oil and leav ing a cake that could be used as feed or fertilizer; then for cleaning the hulls to get linters. In 1926 they crushed 5,528,243 tons of cotton seed. Its value was $256,027,431— and two-thirds of this got back to the man who grew it. . . . Yet most of us can remember when cot tonseed could hardly be thrown away. Cue the scientists credit! "Scientific farming hai p»id well all along, but it ii not the acientific farmer who ia complaining. He hasn't the time. He is bv*y making money.”—H. H. Heimann. Old Friends .. and New Southern farmcra who are stall in their prime can remember helping their fathers haul V-C Fertilirera to the springtime fields of long ago. Now their aona are helping them— and V-C remains a family institu tion. Could V-C be otherwise than reliable, with auch traditions behind it? Other regions too are following the choice of the Old South as they in their turn discover that fertilizing pays. V-C's good name keeps on opening the way to new friends— whom the years will ripen into old ones. -V-C ‘ Our* is a new country, but much of our farming area is already crying for more commercial fertilizer.”— American Farming. -V-C You’ve got to have a properly BALANCED fer tilizer to get a good cotton yield. There must be enough nitrogen in it, enough super phosphate, enough potash,— and not too much of anv one. Use the RIGHT GRADE of V-C and pick real money off your acres. -v-c Two things—yield per acre and quality of product spell all the PROFIT in farming. V-C Fertilizers in crease yield and improve quality. Therefore V-C and Profit are partners. Premiums in Pure Seed Communities are learning to pro* tert themselves against hybrid cot tonseed—“run of the gin” seed— “pot lurk” seed—by getting tews passed that keep anybody in the neighborhood from growing an off variety of cotton. In 1936 tbs Cal ifornia legislature enacted a special law on this point, says the U. S. Department of Agriculture, wh— several counties were established as pure seed districts for the Achte variety, with no other kind to be grown there. "The effect has been highly beneficial,” says the Depart ment. “A1I the farmer* of these communities hare seed of the beet quality to plant, and the fibre is ef uniform quality that brings a pre mium.” -V-C “V-C Firnuswt* push the crop to maturity and enable you to get easily a bale to the acre, even under boll weevil conditions.”—T. H. Barnes, Coats, N. C. -V-C i arming s Great r uture ‘‘No other country has such im* mediate possibilities for the develop ment of its agriculture as the United States. We have vast acreages of good land from which the virgin fertility is now practically exhaust ed; we lave intelligent farmers, highly efficient machinery, the beat organised system of research, teach ing and extension that the world has ever known; and a fertilizer in dustry prepared to compound the proper formulae and supply the de mand."—Dr. Firman E. Bear, Ohio Stale University. ' -V-C The “mercerizing” of cotton fabriee i* named after John Mercer, who discovered how to do it in 1844 -V-C "I am so thoroughly sold on high grade commercial fertiliser that I would consider it folly to plant a row of cotton unless a liberal application had been applied before planting. I use a 15-5-5. My advice to the average man would be to increase the amount of fertilizer he baa been using. It would prove a projilah'e investment.'’—J. M. Aldrich. —*V IRC IM V-C A ROM NA CHKMirU rORPORATIO> Wider Horizons HAT lie* beyond? That la the Y Y quest which drives men on—over the horizon to greater, better things. The farmer’s boy watches the express train glide away into the distance and wonders what lies beyond. Some day it will take him to the State University where he will learn the science of agri culture. Already the drudgery of tilling the soil has been lifted by modern equipment, which the steel rails have brought. The day of the business-farmer is here.
