Then it might be a good idea to move July Fourth up to July 2. the day of the highway hearing here, and have a joint celebration or fireworks party, as the case may be. The new $10,000 bills will carry the picture of Chase, V« Twinkler is informed, and, one thing sure, most of us In the chase after one will do well ever to get a glimpse of hint, •• • "June Is Not. Prolific In Weddings This Year,” informs the News and Observer* And if Raleigh w-ere as near the South Carolina line as is Shelby we suppose the word "bar ren” would have supplanted "not prolific.” “3 ♦tDancerV Colorful Career Ends) with Prison Term,” informs a headline.

Smith, has not had a single disgruntled remark or wisecrack to offer—even about the guests at the White House and the bishop in the stock market. Even those who were “again” the Demo cratic candidate because of his associations and affiliations, Including Raskob and Tammany Hall, must admit that the candidate himself is a square shooter and a good loser. And the same list might also include Senator Carter Glass of Virginia, who was a right-hand helper to Woodrow Wilson. Bishop Cannon has taken every opportunity since the election, as he did during the campaign, to ride the able Virginian, yet Senator Glass is sport enough to tell inquiring newspapermen that he has no remarks to make about, the bishop and the stock market, and is “unconcerned.” Do you suppose the good bishop would have sajd nothing more to newspapermen had the shoe been on the other foot and Senator Glass in the public eye because of some act con sidered a bit indiscreet for a senator? We ask you to jud<e by events of the past. TAYLOR AIDED COUNTY 'J'HE DEPARTURE of Prof. V. C. Taylor from Lattimore, where he has been agricultural instructor for several years, for Surry county, where he becomes farm agent, is not only a lofs to the Lattimore section but to the entire coun ty. The Star hopes at an early date to publish a summary of the achievements of Prof. Taylor and his agricultural students at Lattimore, but the summary is not necessary to state that during his stay in the county Prof. Taylor has been an integral factor in developing agriculture. There is a saying, often heard in the rural sections, that you cannot teach an old dog new tricks, but the Lattimore agricultural teacher not only started out a bunch of fine young farmers but he so instructed them and brought ahout the cooperation nf the parents of his pupils that his instruction may be seen even m the farming tactics of the elderly farmers of that progressive section. » ^ It i« a cooperative bunch up the Lattimore way/ They buy their farm needs in a body, thus securing better prices, and they go about their farming in a systematic, business like manner. A glance at the fields in the Lattimore sec tion or a glance at the records of the farming activities there will show that. Although the agricultural teacher will be missed the work he started there will he in evWence for many years to come as the section and the countv continue heir agricultural advance. READING FOR THE DOUGHBOY JT MA\ BE that any number of Star readers who are book lovers have already read George Seldes’ “You Can’t Print that,” but those who have not read the book should do so just as soon as it may be secured from the publishing house or your bookseller. As the title suggests, the majority of the topics writ ten about, or rather incidentals thereto, have never befor» appeared in print unless smothered under censorship or coated with honey so as not to injure the feelings of those written about. Information possessed by newspapermen and never published would make the tastiest reading the public eye could fall upon. George Seldes is and has been one of Americas outstanding newspaper reporters and war cor respondents. His reportorial field not only covered thf portions of Europe he visited as a correspondent during the Vorld War, but in his book he takes up much of the unknown behind the curtains in Italy about Mussolini; in Russia about the Bolshevikic rule, and of England’s proud imagfna tion concerning her navy. The fact that the censors during the war and since have turned thumbs down upon the in formation Seldes gives in his book does not mean that the i hook is a series of scandal stories and sensations; the writer does a pretty good job of proving that the facts support his writing. The American doughboy, the infantry boys who were used as cannon fodder in the repeated drives to break the German lines, will be particularly interested in one of the opening chapters devoted to the war. Just a few hours after (he Armistice Solder. and fellow newspaper writers slipped across the Armistice line and interviewed Marshall von Hindenburg. For publishing that interview Seldes was the defendant at a court martial hearing, and was the goat, so to speak, of the propaganda methods to help the other Allies retain their pride by failing to acknowledge that the Amer- ! ican troops really furnished the impetus necessary to decide the conflict. No one knew, or was in position to know, more about what factor broke down the German morale than the German Commander, the iron von Hindenburg. He told George Seldes that "the American infantry won the war.” The tears streamed down the cheeks of the forceful leader of the attempt to lick the world as he made the statement, but he made it. Today because of political reasons von Hinden burg cannot repeat that statement, but Seldes does in his book, with details very interesting, for the glory and re nown of the American doughboys who have never been given the proper credit-for their daring ajid consistent on slaughts on the German lines. ' You’ll never regret reading this book. Not only is the information contained therein of unusual interest for those wish to keep history straight and can do so only with the inside facts, but it is also one of the best written books we have encountered in many moons. Nobody’s Business GEE McGEE— (Exclusive in The Star in this section.) Picnics. There are two kinds of picnics, vlzzly: one Is held out in the woods where there are 99,000,000 ehiggers and the other Is held out in the woods where there 99, 000,000 million ehiggers. X have always enjoyed picnic:;, both be fore and after. I uster have a girl that was such a good girl she'd let me pick most all of her chiggers off, but some sulphur was used on those that were hard to get. There Is generally a lot of love made at. a picnic. I made a little bit too much of it once, and I thought for a while that I was go ing to get married, but we final ly fell out about the dress she wore one Sunday which I said didn't fit her, and she never spoke to me thereafter, so I got out of matrimony on account of that dress. She turned out all right though, but how she manages to take care of 11 younguns Is more than I can fathom, and I am a great, fathomer when it comes to matters appertaining to domes ticity ansoforth. There are all kinds of people! who go to picnics, but after all, they can be divided into two classes. as follows: One kind takes a basket full of good food, and the other kind forgets to take even a basket, but just goes along with Uncle Joe and Aunt Min ervy. The crowd that never fetches anything along always seems to do the most eating, and I have seen them eat from one end of the table to the other end and half way back in less than 5 minutes. Old Mrs. Hukston made it. a point on all picnic occasions to take a great big basket along, but the only thing that I ever saw her extract therefrom was a loaf of bread, and mrbbe a potato custaid, but Just as soon as the victuals were spread out, she'd get her a plate and heap tt knee high with the choicest things in sight, and then fill a gobbler full oi tea, and take herself off to one side and sit down in the shade and eat and eat till she got red tn the face and bloated in the stummick. How she lived through so many pic nics has always been a mystery to me. But excusing chiggers. pic nics are wonderful. My grocer says that he has help ed to pay for 19 new automobiles during the past few months, but so far. he has never ridden in one of them. That man talks a little too plain to suit me. He told me that Uncle Joe’s son. SammSe. bought a ham from him on credit last week and took it to a filling station and swapped it for 9 gal lons of gas and a quart of oil. I wish he'd lay off my kinfolks. Since congress met to bring about farm relief, wheat has de clined only 23 cents a bushel, but corn has dropped just 17 cents per bushel. and cotton is only 2 cents lower than it was before they met, and timothy hay sagged off only 5 dollars per ton. how ever—goobers are stronger, having advanced a quarter of a cent. If they keep this effort, up. they cer tainly will relieve the farmers ol all they’ve got. notiy: t will not be responst bull for detts made by m.v cousin bill Clark, who left my bed and board without cause and never paid for same nuther, and who ever sees fit to risk him for any thing in my behaff will do so a: her own jennocjy, and he has a big skyar Just, above his left eye where 1 struck him once when he called me a hoover dimmercrat, and his years is nearly bit off too, which took place when him and I was rastltng once, so if anny body sees or hears him, please rite or foam me and got It reward. he took my knife and 3 of my dog, off with him ansoforth. <p Y i raised him form a baby, he was a runt babv>. yores trulie, mike Clark, rfd. Cotton Letter. Nru York, June 26.—Liverpool cables were strong on the opening, thus forcing. New Orleans down as usual. The labor organizers got about all of the money the opera tives had. and then told them to go back to work, all of which had a weakening effect on cheese cloth and calico prints in Africa.

Miss Stake, one of our leadin'; flappers, has devised a plan to keep the stocking from wrinkling at the knees.

Lawndale Defeats Henrietta Outfit (Special to The Star 1 Despite the absence of Lad Wray, who is now in the Shelby hospital with a broken Jaw bone. Lawndale easily completely outclassed the Henrietta club at Henrietta Satur day afternoon by a score of 15 to 4. Hoyt Cline, pitching lor the Lawn dale club, reminded the fans of the good old days past when he used to get on the mound and shout for the Wolf pack of State college. This was the first game that Cline had at tempted to play in about five years but even with this he showed the fans some real hooks. The batt.r.g honors of the day go to Lem Spar kler and Dave Wallace The former going to the bat 5 times and ob taining 2 doubles and 2 singles, staking the Henrietta fans twic», the latter obtaining 3 hits out ot 5 trips to the bat. Little Harvey War lick pulled the only sensational catch of the day by robbing one of the Henrietta men of a clean hit. Herney Champions peg to second was, as usual, almost invariable to the spot and Sock Blackburn was right there to grab the ball. This is the tenth straight game the Lawn dale club has won and has had a comparatively easy lime with all of them.
