•i >me people who really and truly
i iijay watching a fool do foolish
thing..'
Kindly sound your‘horn in the
lallowiiig manner: toot, t-o-o-t.
t — a—1>—i. t——od——t, when the
■ ay in trout of you chokes down and
can t 'get his starter to work—ih
congested traffic. That's the way
all lunatics act.
3.' When .someone hits .you in the
back end. and tries to explain it to
hi, hold vour temper—and tell him
• hat it was all your fault—-that you
held out your hand but that you
have a small hand, and he could not
possibly see It, and offer to pay fof

as tan!:.
4 When you overtake a large
uck or a covey of large trucks tlv.it
: ecupv all of the middle of the road,
! stop right in your tracks, turn
j around, go buck home, und try to
Ivnake your trip tomorrow. Of course,

5 Don’t dim your lights when

't hings I'd Like To Know.
1 1 can’t understand how it Is
I that we have thousands of miles of
jtiood roads, and hundreds of fine
i school houses, and plenty money for
! all public demands—while our farms
j are being sold for taxes, our farm
! dwellings and tenant houses are rot
jting down and our farmers are able
j to.make only a bare (very buret liv
I big.
, 2. I can’t understand how so
i many of us have to hunt an hour
or more for a place to park our cars
—while bread-lines are just around i
the corner—and hundreds of wom
en and little children in our com
munity are half fed and tliree
j fourths starved—and the officers of
| the law can catch only the poor
man drinking or peddling booze.
3. I can’t understand why the
[land banks and the Insurance com
ipanies continue to fore-close mort
gages on real estate that they can’t
or won’t utilize after they come Into
possession of it—while there Is a
possibility that the man who owns
it would at least pay a fair rental
for it and mebbe something on the
principle when the Republicans get
out of office and the Democrats are
given a chance to bust up the big
monopolies and give the working
men u probable prospect.
4 I can't understand why a cot
ton mill hand earns only $1.50 a day
while his brother gets $1.50 per hour
[ loc doing a little job of plastering
that very little intelligence and only
a smattering of experience arc re
quired, nor can I understand why a
board of directors will pay one man
a bonus of $1,345,000 per year while
thousands of the men who made
that money are loafing—waiting for
(business to come back—to Wall St.
5. I can't understand why our
congress and our legislatures con
tinue to appropriate so much money
for useless purposes tin many, many
cases) while they know it will serve
only to bankrupt our country in the!
long run. I can't understand why a i
politician hasn't got backbone;
enough to stand up for the rights of'
his people instead of sitting down I
for what tickles his political fancy, ;
6. I can't understand how the
man in debt will ever get out. I
can't understand why a poor man
prefers a car to ride in rather than
a house to live in. I can't understand
how “Big Business” ever got such a
strange-hold on our nation. I can’t
understand why so many men ure
crying for the return of whiskey
when they don't want their own i
younguns to drink it, and I can’t
understand why I have been goose j
enough to write this article which
I don’t understand.
Meat Is Cheapest
That It Ha'S Been
In Several Years
Washington.—Families with small
or restricted incomes arc told by E.
W. Sheets, of the agriculture depart
nlent, that they would find inex
pensive cuts of meat cheaper than

bandry division, said meat now
costs less than in many years, with
breast and neck of medium lamb
selling for as low as seven and one
half cents a pound.
Pork shoulders, he added, could He
bought for 14 to 19 cents, and picnic j
shoulders at from 13 to 21 cents. !

tomatoes and onions, were urged by j
the bureau of home economics for!

In the old days, y'know, when we .started to go a 'lushing we took the
mattock and shovel and Journeyed down behind the barn to dig our
l'tshing worms. Well, all that's over now folks. H, M , oup of Shelby's
hardware store proprietors, informs that there is on sale iibw a liquid
known as "GiUvin" which will draw the worm, from the ground without
any digging. All you have to do, so they tell 11.'. is. to put. a couple teu
spoonfulls in a tub of water, pour the water on the ground, get your bad
can and wait. In a lew minutes the worms—big or, nice ones that
should make any fish's mouth water—will begin craWllng out. An added
feature is that the worms will be whole when they crawl out. Remember
in tin old days we frequently cut them in iwo with the mattock?

FOR VOIIR INFORMATION
Reynolds Tobacco Company, we art' Informed at the Piggly Wiggly,
was not the first business concern in the country to use cellophane wrap
ping paper. Not by a Jugfull! Go in (lie average grocery and youH find
that Mr Host, the Shelby baker, wraps his cukes in cellophane or some
thilts Very similar then to. And the majority of other bakery cakes are
so wrapped. Likewise, clothiers will tell you that certain brands of shirts
are wrapped in a similar paper.
(P. S. Rut please note that the Camels go the ups on the others by
idling the |)eople about it a la newspaper advertising. Us newspaper folks
can do most anything except to make enough money to retire or buy
new attire for tin Easier parade.)

Shelby shorts: The out-of-town newspapers have been saying quite
a bit about flvc-crnt loaves of bread, but they’re not so much in evid

otir guess-is, by passing out that info in a Star ad .... A recent issue of
the Billboard, show and carnival publication, carries a photo of a carni
val scene in Shelby ht,I930. It’s a photo this colyum has referred to

the court square. Grouped around the f err is wheel were men with 10
galion hats, and gawking at flip strange sight with them were women ill

approaching city election because of a lack of interest.
