LEE B WEATHERS_...... President and Editor S. ERNEST HOEY __..._Secretary and foreman RENN DRUM..... News Editot A. O. JAMES... Advertising Manager Entered as second class matter January 1, 1905. at me postoirice At Shelby, North Carolina, under the Act of Congress March 3. 1879 We wtsh to call your attention to the fact that it is and has been our custom to charge five cents per line for resolutions of respect, cards of thanks and obituary notices, aflci one death notice has been published. This will be strictly ndherred to, FRIDAY. SEPT. 20. 1020. TWINKLES And it’s next -Tuesday morning that we'll all lie joining, the procession of family flivvers mil to the lair grounds. Tf we fail to see you at the fair Tuesday we’ll suppose you’re sick -or in jail. The size of a newspaper staff these days, w« judge, is determined by Ibe number of big football tamps to which staff writers must be sent for special features. Of course these Communists, who are “trying to over throw our government,” are very much impressed, as they visit our court returns, with the great respect we seem to show for our own laws. Parents and school officials should see that every school child in Cleveland count gets to the opening day of the fair Tuesday. It is the big day of the year to the youngsters, they are to he admitted free, and not a one should he per mitted to miss the occasion. The Greensboro News notes that two hoys were caught and arrested the other night in Davidson county while try ing to break in a school building. Perhaps those hoys, you can’t always tell, read The Star’s article about Governor Max’s discovery that of all the white boys in the State prison there isn't a single high school graduate. The headlines charged thqse eight so-called "Reds” in Charlotte the other day with attempting "to overthrow North Carolina.’’ And seeing as how they have failed to at tain success so far Ye Twinkler would suggest that they consult those who know something about such things-—say Senator Simmons, Frank McNinch, the Cotnam brothers and the bishop. * VITAL HEALTH FACTOR FOR PIEDMONT CAROL1NAS MORTH CARdLlNA soil no doubt has the same iodine prop ' erties that have been discovered in South Carolina and should capitalize on this vital health factor. Dr. William Western chairman of the Southern Health Research Com mission of South Carolina has discovered that vegetables grown in South Carolina have a greater content of iodine than vegetables grown in any other state in the union, and South Carolina is pointing out its possibilities in an economic way.. If it is true that Piedmont South Carolina is rich in iodine content, the same thing is true of North Carolina soil and efforts should be made to make the Carolinas the leading vegetable section of the nation. Senator Royal S. Copeland, M.D. whose health articles are appearing in The Star and who is one of the outstand ing authorities in the nation health subjects, says this dis covery of iodine in vegetables and fruits "was the most important discovery from a health standpoint during the last hundred years.” Iodine, as is well known is a cure for goiter and other physical deficiencies. It is learned that one of the large pickle factories of the nation, established a plant in South Carolina where iodized vegetables will he grown and marketed through a nationwide advertising campaign. HOW THE BUS DRIVERS MAY DO IT ^/EDNESDAY’S issue of The Star carried an appeal from drivers of two score school trucks in Cleveland county to the people of the county asking that the latter assist them in preventing accidents to the hundreds of school children transported daily to and from school by these buses. The appeal speaks well for the bus drivers as it shows that they are deeply interested in the young children they carry about each day, and are very anxious to see that 'none of the youngsters are killed or maimed while being transported. Hereafter these bus drivers say that in stopping their buses to load or unload children they will exhibit a white flag for passing motorists to see so that they may stop their motor cars and not take the chance of endeangering some young life. Any motor cat- driver in Cleveland county, man or woman, with a spark ot feeling and consideration in his or her breast will hark to that appeal of the bus drivers in whose care are hundreds of young lives each day. Children seldom hestitate for the second thought; they dash, without thinking, right across the road, many times from behind a parked bus right into the path of a speeding car. Then a tragedy! A lite snutfed out— a young, eager life just at the beginning! It is too late then to wish that you ha’d stopped when you saw the school bus picking up or unloading chil dren. And your conscience will not excuse you just because the child did not think of the danger. But, as'The Star sees it. there is an even better wav for the school bus diners to go about it. And that method is to see that the law, especially passed to cover such cases, is enforced. A couple of years back the North Carolina legis lature passed a law saving that any motor vehicle must come to a full stop when the driver sees a school bus ahead taking on or unloading children. Perhaps we have been asleep, but wo have not heard of a half dozen people being hailed into court for violating that law. Yet hundreds of motorists vio late that regulation daily. Bus drivers right here in Cleve land county say that a car seldom stops while they are load ing or unloading children. When a car does stop, these bus drivers say. they know instantly that it is a motorist from Pennsylvania or some other Eastern state. They have a sim ilar law there and IT IS ENFORCED. Out-of-state motorists respect our laws and the lives of our children more than we do. This respect came from enforcement, and it is about the only, way in these speed-mad times that such a respect can be created. The Star will do all possible to help the bus drivers present their appeal to motorists of the county, but in doing so it would remind the bus drivers that motorists! 'will observe the safety rules far sooner if they are made to do so. And hern's our Suggestion to each and every school bus driver in ( leveland county: The next time a motor car shoots by a school bus when children are being taken on or un loaded, get the license number of that car and report it. In doing so the aim of'law will be carried out, or should be, and this paper is \villingyto lend its support to seeing that it is. If the officer to whom you report the eolation does not find out who the driver was and, therefore, does not hail him into court. The Star will gladly publish the name of that officer and tell of his blinking enforcement of the law. And if that careless driver is not meted out the punishment the violation calls for as written, The Star will also risk contempt of court by telling the presiding judge so. And in so doing this paper believes it will have the support of every father and mother in Cleveland county who have children going to school—chil dren they want to see alive again in the afternoon, not mangled under the wheels of an auto driven by some fellow hurrying nowhere in particular. What do you say, bus drivers? Nobody’s Business GEE McGEE— Travel Begets Knowledge. Travel broadens a fellow some-' thing terrible. A friend of tniiv who had never been away from I home made a trip to Punktown a ! few weeks and a steam roller ran over him. and he came home in a I ! box much broader than he was be- ! | for taking up travelling. i Lots of folks travel and never j see anything. I was on the Scenic 1 Limited ,oncc coming up Feather | River \ alley in California—the ! most, beautiful scenery in the i world, and half the folks In the ob ! serration car were asleep most of the time, and none of them had ever been through the valley be fore. I know thousands of folks that don't absorb anything when they •sec and read, Everything is only casual and matter-of-fact with them. I was riding along one day with a man who had been all over the country and was furthermore very wealthy. Over on the side of the mountain "HEINZ 57" shone forth in letters CO feet high. He asked: Wonder what that sign means?" That was inexcusable ignorance. Folks see" different things when they travel. A larmer is interested only in the com and cotton and grain patches. A sentimental old ! maid sees nothing but the sunset. ! A college professor glories over the beauty of the flora. A meat 'packer talks about the fine or poor type of cattle he gazes upon A flapper enjoys nothing but th" breeze and her chewing gum. A I preacher rejoices over the works of nature. A carpenter finds barns and dwellings out ol plumb. And a road-builder cusses the bad roads ■Jhat the other fellow built Road sign advertising ain't what j some folks think it is if i were j selling Dr Bunkeui's "yerb' pills. I believe I'd rather spend half of tile cost of billboards for newspa per advertising. People read news papers. but in my opinion only a small percent of the motorists read a very large percent of the ' bill board stuff About half of the travelling public prefers to see r pretty landscape rather than a big sign telling them what they ought eat. drink or smoke. v_ There are several methods of j travel, viz: foot-back. Ford-back, j and Pullman. Mr. Pullman hasn't got the,pull he had just prior to the inauguration of installment buying. The railroad companies think it is wortn 50 per cent more to haul a man while he's asleep! and the Standard Oil appreciat»s that surcharge very much indeed, j It doesn't cast some lolks ve-’v ! , much to travel. Uncle Joe s Sam mie made a trip through the moun tains a distance of 840 miles not long ago in his car. and the entire outing cost him only 2 dollars. It was this way: lie had 2 dollars of Ills own, alld he lionowcsj i'J dollars-from me and then he got a check cashed at a drug store lor 25 dollars, therefore—his total expenses were practically nothing. Yes, sir, travel broadens a persons l vision if he sees anything. The Lizard. The lizard is a cross betwixt an insect, a reptile and a quadrup ed. It is found in North America. South America, rail fences, od houses, Australia, pine fields, Asia. North Carolina, hedge rows, ana j elsewhere if gnats and flies are J plentiful, also in California. The lizard proper is a type of alliga tor which failed to make good. The lizard has 4 legs and 4 feet to match. 2 in front and 2 behind, as perhaps you have already guess ed. He can outrun a rooster, pul let. rat, cow, or horse, but is no match for a streakfield which has the same wheel-base and practical ly the same chassis and a stream line body. A woman has the same feeling toward a lizard as she has towards a mouse as each can do practically the same amount of damage if he or she should run up her limbs and beneath her gar ments, even though they be of light . thin texture. Therefore, a lizard r; not very popular amongst the fa.r sex, and is not used as a pet to any great extent. A lizard ran swim and can run backwards for a few' steps. He can also show his money and in that respect—he reminds you of the newly rich. His tail is almost as long as his body, but he can't help that, His eyes are black and he has no eyebrows to think of, therefore he is not envied by the flappers. His carcass is rough and rusty, but that is not his fault. He was born that way. and never learned anything about Balmohve soap which keeps that school-girl complexion. His period of longe vity averages about 5 years unless a crow or a hawk or a bee martin, or somebody else catches him. Lizards were worshipped by the Zulus way back yonder before au tomobiles came. but now' thev wr ship automobiles when thev have time to stop and think of them. There are 4 thousand speshees of the lizard tribe alone (very much alone, too* in Chtm and nearly as many in India, they are poisonous and bold over there, and will bite a fellow while asleep or awake or at church. He makes his den beneath the shade of an old apple tree, but is just as much at home up in the said apple tree He has it on h*s evoluted brother, the alligator, as he can climb a tree and she can t. The lizard is not considered an item of food in many countries, so far as we know, but we have not given that feature of his existence very much study. There are 4, 565.877 people in New' York thti never saw a lizard and there are 999.866,777 lizards 50 miles away that never saw a New Yorker. Per sonally, I don't think much of the lizard and the farm relief board, bill 1 believe that if We grl UUJ help from the latter, we shall have to cooperate, and I am in favor of that.

Roumania. — Miron Patriarch of Roumania and Regeir. was believed tonight to have little chance of recoveryvfrom his present serious illness. His physicians have found that he suffers from leucocy* themia 'a blood disease), with a probability also of cancer. The probability that the Patriarch will be unable again to exercise cares of state has led to consider able speculation as to his successor on the Regency. The party of Juliu Maniu was said to favor St. Ciceo Pop, Speaker of the lower house. The name of Dowager Queen Marie has been mentioned, but it is more generally suggested that if a mem ber of the royal family is chosen it would be the present exile. Print 0 Carol, father of young King Mich ael. The Patriarch has been living for tIre past several months in a coun try house amid the mountains and forests of Dragoslavele. He was born in 1867 in Toplitza, Transylvania, the son of a farmer. He became bishop of Karansebesch in 1910, be came archbishop in 1919. NOTICE OF SUMMONS North Carolina, Cleveland County.
