Bedtime Yarns. ‘•My dear.” exclaimed the hus band when he arrived home late and found his wife waiting for him, “you’d never guess where I have been tonight.” “Oh, yes I can,” replied his wife, "but go on vfith your story, anyway.” who fays?

Distributors Around Our TOWN Shelby SIDELIGHTS By RENN DRUM Only recently one of the men who may be the “next governor” of North Carolina was a visitor to Shelby (somehow or another Shelby has a wide acquaintance with next governors and governors), and while in town making his courtesy calls, he, without realizing It, let it out that he is go ing to be a hard man to beat because he knows the game he is in. While talking with several friends on the street, one friend made r f erence to another of the fellows who aspires to be "next governor” and a recent public statement the latter had made. Whereupon the visitor reached in his vest pocket, hauled out a newspaper clipping, and said “Yes, I have that statement >ight here.” He didn’t say so, but one could tell by the twinkle In his eye that he believed that statement held over a few months might give his rival trouble. No doubt it will, and that is why the colyum classes the visiting can didate as an expert politician. He perhaps has never read after Lloyd George or any other foreign states man, for North Carolina leaders, as we observe, seldom travel far from home to find fe model whereby they may shape themselves. Yet in h's political career to date he has reach ed a conclusion that has also eman SAM BEATS ALL HE HASEVER SEEN “This new Sargon medicine heats anything I ever saw for buildiug ud a run down system. “An attack of 'Flu’ left me in bad ly weakened condition and I tegan ’ III i nl f,—m ANDREW J.

The man in public life who goes on record with a certain statement today may tomorrow find that statement cutting nts own throat as it hangs over him like a ghost. Once was political leaders kept their vanity albums full of clippings about themselves, but nowadays, if they still have their eyes on higher peaks in life, they file clippings about their rivals and prospective rivals. This man who was a visitor to town has no doubt been filing away statements made by other prospec tive candidates since the day when he himself feasted his eyes upon the executive mansion in Raleigh and decided that in time to come he would make his home there for a time. • • • That brings to mind, since the trend is toward politics, that Col. Kirkpatrick of Charlotte has an nounced himself as a candidate for governor in 1936. By 1940 at the present rate It may be that proud North Caro lina parents in announcing the birth of a boy child will make the card herald double tidings by stating that the new off spring in 1970 will be a candi date for governor of North Car Una. By another geenraiton off springs may be anticipated as future governors in the man ner heirs were awaited by roy alty in the days before princes decided to take their hard' knocks in life by falling off hones instead of receiving them in matrimonial disputes. Grasshopper And Ant. Those fortunate enough to have felt recent declines of the stock market may not fully appreciate such verse as is reproduced below, but It is good reading to those fel* lows who have in time past trotted out the African dominos for two bits only to see "snake eyes” or "box cars” staring them in the face. The verse, borrowed from The New York Times, is entitled “The Grasshop per and the ant”: The grasshopper sang, "Oh! why be a slave? Why work and worry and scimp and save? The life for me is to laugh and lark it, Flying around on a rising market!” The ant kept on with his humble chores. Far away from the trading floors He delved till his form was lean and lank, And he stopped each week at the savings bank. The market broke. The grasshopper crashed. Then swift to Wall Street the vise ant dashed And bought for a rise with all his power— And lost his roll in the next half hour. A Riddle Of Life. Possibly there may be no connec tion between the two incidents, if incidents is a strong enough term with which to describe the two events, but observation is that stocks and skirts dropped about the same time. One gave the college boy a heartache, and the other wounded his dad. But as F. P. A. says in The New York World, and F. P. A. has done mare talking about the fall of stocks than about the fall of skirts, "Our observation leads to the con viction that the new long skirts are no real handicap to veteran ieg crossers.” The Town’s Wrist Watch, Ebeltoft speaking: "Seems to me that some judge or grand jury some months back ordered that the court house clock be repaired and start ed to running. Wish they'd do it now that the trees on the court square have shed' their leaves and the clock can be seen from the :nain business streets.” Mebbe the commissioners will put a new timw-piece in the court house’s sock when Santa comes around? A Heavy Load. Boss: “What are you two doing walking so slowly up those itiirs?” Midnite: "W«Ts workin’ boss. We’s can-yin’ dis desk up stairs.”* Boss: "I don’t see any desk.” Midnite: “Fo1 de Lord's sane, i Carbon, we don forgit de desk.” BELWOOD NEWS OF CUT WEEK i (Special to The Star.)

DENTIST4 ABANDONS DRILLS FOR A FUNG AT SCULPTURE Dodge City, Kan.—When a plan was suggested to have a statue <« Boot Hill commemorative of the cowboy who dubbed this town the "cowboy capital,” the question of a sculptor came up.

In three months he completed a statue of concrete, and its unveil ing was attended by 20,000 per sons, many of them men and wom en who had been in the Southwest fifty and sixty years.
