RECEIVED A LET ter last week which inchoates that Anita Loos was not so very foolish when she wrote her book and gave it the title "Gentlemen Prefer Blondes. The letter was a plaintive little epistle written by a lonely young wife of a city not so far distant. ,-My husband,” it said in substance, “may be in your town. He's gone off and left me with a big blonde.” Those big blondes, Anita, sure do seem to have that “It” preferred by gentlemen, married and otherwise. Anyway, that's what the young abandoned wife inferred in her let ter, which didn't seem to lay the blame upon her Inconsiderate hub by—she wants him back—but rath er seemed to think the big blonde had tolled him off. Whether or not the police depart ment will locate the erring lesser half and send him back home re mains to be seen. Of course the lo cal law is not a bureau for adjust ing matrimonial troubles, but then it may be that some o! Uncle Sam’s laws will look askance at the man ner in which they arc living. THE LETTERS RECEIVED BY a police chief, and by all officers of the law, we suppose, tell of the in side of many heartaches and tribula tions in life. Life has its own little short stories, and some serials, fill ed with pathos, and the next time you read a short story do not con sider that it could rot have happen ed. Many strange things happen in life. Ask Chief Poston or some of the other officers of the law to per mit you to read the letters they re ceive in one month. One letter will be seeking a fair young daughter who became bored with the home routine and left town with some glib-talking strang er. Another will tell of a wife who tired of kitchen and household drudgery while listening to the hon eyed words of a would-be sheik with whom she departed town under the lure of travelling and seeing things. Still another will tell of a young boy in his early teens who followed the call of the wanderlust and the letter will usually come from a heart-broken mother sitting back home listening to every foot step coming up the front walk. Many times the police depart men* in & up i Dy as wen as in other town? or cities manages to render the aid asked by the letter writers. Often they do not, for the wanderer has moved on to another town. You never know what a blue coated police officer has on his mind when he watches you pass a street corner. Some whose con science may be pricking them think perhaps that the cop sees the bulge in the hip pocket, or knows that the car you are riding does not have the prbpcr license tag, but he may be looking to see il you’re a wandering husband, a run-away son, or a flee ing wife. THEN THERE ARE OTHER types of letters received by a police chief. Right often no doubt the gen eral public wonders how the officers got their information for a certain raid. More people tell the officers—on the “mum," of course—of law viola tions than you might think. Not long since the colyum was permitted to see a letter from a dis tant city stating that two autos, loaded with enough kick to fill many a hip flask, leave that city regularly for Shelby and this sec tion. Another letter comes to the po lice desk from a mother telling of nightly visits by her son which are eating her heart out. She can't stop the boy, will not the policemen do something about the other end. A day or two passes then a raid, and sans of many mothers have the temptation, that pulled them on, driven out of town. A man with a limited amount of imagination and some writing abil ity could take many of the letters that come to a police chief's desk, fill in the gaps, and write interest ing, throbbing short stories from life itself. Almost anything capable of being produced in the human im agination is more than likely hap pening in actuality out in the world. Perhaps it is a good thing that the general public doesn't have the op portunity of reading all the mall of ficers of the law receive. The read ing would tend to disillusion many about life being so wonderful. IP YOU WANT TO GET INTO an argument these days in Shelbv Just walk into any gathering and say "I don’t think it is right for a bishop to play with the stock mar ket. ’ And if that falls to get a come back try this one: "I think it 1s perfectly all right for a bishop to play the market.” If you fail to get an argument then, start talking with your fing ers for your hearers undoubtedly are deaf. AND. IF YOU CARE FOR SOME very Interesting reading—reading even hotter than the weather, don't forget that “Sleepy'* Cash's article on Senator Simmons, with a word or two about Governor O. Max will be in the issue of The Am erican Mercury which comes to the newsstands this week. Ebeltoft has ordered quite a number of extra copies. , The colyum is tendering the free publicity because of its great and steadfast love for Senator Furni fojd?? Shelby Star May Hit Major Leagues i Houston Lawing in Hickory Record.) The state championship Shelby baseball outfit of high school cir cles can now boast something mo:e than Just a state title. The Shelby team placed a player right into class “B” baseball from the high school field. Clir.e Owens Lee, Shelby youth, joined the Columbus club of the Southeastern league following his graduation from the Cleveland debut into professional balldom was one of the rarest feats ever witnessed in the South for a mere high school youth. Lee collected three hits from four attempts and handled eleven assists without a bobble In his league debut at Col umbus. So you can bet he's the idol of Shelby fans now, and just { wait, you'll probably hear more o: this youngster in the major league camps Star Advertising Pays Dr. D. M. Morrison OPTOMETRIST.

"1 was all run-down and weak as could be. I did not have the strength ol a kitten. Some days I could hardly lift my head from the pillow. "I looked like a skeleton. I wu so thin and haggard. It took all my will power to drag myself around the house. I never walked any far ther than I had to. for It hurt me to stand on my feet “My back and sides hurt me until I thought I could not stand It. "I saw myself growing gradually weaker and I did not know what to do. I tried several things but nothing helped me. “One day I read about how other women had been helped by taking Cardul. so I thought I would try It i I found It a splendid medicine. Af ter I began to take it I soon began to feel stronger and able to do things. “Prom that time to the present I have taken Cardul several times when I was run-down in health. It ! has never failed to help me." Cardul should help you. too. Try Star Wants Ad*.
