states that on such and such a day
the "grammer” grade exercises will

TIGHT, OMEOMT
A local reader of this colyura who
believes in Scotch efficiency and
who plays the stock market and
reads the Wall Street Journal
some may doubt that there is a man
with such contrasting traits—asks
that we reproduce the following
from the Wall Street Journal about
Scotch efficiency:
“The Scotch have always been
known as a thrifty, efficient xace,
and here is a new proof thereof
from Glasgow, Scotland. A profes
sional pipe lighter has been em
loyed there to keep street railway
laborers from wasting their time.
This man’s sole duty is to refill and
light the men’s pipes as fast as they
go out. His job was established by
an efficiency expert, who found the
men wasted too much time lighting
their own pipes. The men, however,
have to furnish their own tobacco
and matches."
SHELBY DAY BY DAY
Or Shelby ahavings: A New York

Perhaps for the same reason that
“True Stories” and “True Confess

is making a success of his new job
as farm agent in Surry county ... .
Shelby census-takers say there are

up an alibi, perhaps, to get away
from home after June,
RUDY'S FIRST ONE
“Dear Typetosser:
My wife and all the goils in the
neighborhood have been so crazy
about listenin’ to Rudy Vallee croon
his silly love songs over the radio
that for weeks they’d never let me
get close enough to the dial to hear
Amos ’n Andy. It’s a sight how the
wimmen are crazy about the curly
haired, honey-tongued Rudy boy.
But last week I brought my wim
men folks outen this spell and now
I get to hear Amos ’n Andy every
night. I thought as how I’d write
and tell you about it for mebbe
there might be other men who are
fed up on havin’ their girl friends
rave about that sheik. Here’s how
I done it: I saw in the Charlotte
News that Rudy’s first wife had got
married again. Since The Star
didn’t have that piece in the paper
I cut the story out of the Charlotte
paper and pasted it up on the
radio. That broke ’em. Up to then
they thought Rudy was such a nice
little boy that he’d never been close
to a woman since he used to say
his lay-me-down-to-sleep at his
mother’s knee. Since they’ve found
out that one woman got enough of
his croonin’ mighty quick, divorced
him and then went and married a
sailor, they're not so hot about him
anymore.
Yours til my sun sinks M Sunset,
West Shell y Wes.

more contributions like South Shel
by Sam and West Shelby Wes. They
make It easier to fill up this space.
