WHAT A BLOW THIS MUST BE TO THEM. Poor old Odd McIntyre! We hope he doesii t feci hurt. Last week Ramblin’ Bill, the Cleveland county boy who has been many places and seen many things, wrote that he valued this tangle 3 type more highly than New York Day by Day. And today comes a message from an Intelligent tbound to be) young Mew York lady who says that she reads this colyum regularly but never read McIntyre but once in her life, and that time she was visiting in Shelby. But as for Walter Winclrell, she says “That's something else again.” Walt, y’know, Is the guy who talks out of school and tells when certain prominent families are expecting the stork and what-not. Thanks, ma'am; if you'd move to Shelby we’d place you in the first low—the brunette second to the right—of the Miss Shelby contestants. Speaking of the Musses Shelby (there’s quite a number of them how), an anonymous note informs that there’s a girl over at the Cleveland Cloth mill who should be in the contest. Why not name her? There are several of those w’hite-and-blue uni formed lassies who wouldn't be out of place in a beauty contest. GIVE EM A SWIFT KICK; IT'S OKE HERE Says the Avenue Ambler of The Gastonia Gazette Not infrequently the worthy are forgotten, while the glory -,of ih? undeserving lingers on. We should like to nominate for oblivion: Virgil, because he wrote the Aeneid. Thomas Heflin, because he brays like a jack-ass A. D. MacLcam, on general principles. .Josephus Daniels, because he thinks he can run the state of North Caroltna, and because he thought he could dress the navy in striped pajamas, and for a lot of other reasons we can’t print. Mabel Walker Willebrandt, because she thinks she is the smartest woman in America. Bishop Cannon, so we won't have to read about him in the papers anymore. Robert Montgomery, because of that look on his face, Sidney Smith, because he changed the comic strip to a tale of trag edy. And everybody who disagrees. “If it were not for the /spotlights on the court house uptown Shelby would be so dark at night,’' chimes in H. H. C., “that we’d have to dig up grahdpap’s lantern and carry it with us when we go to the talkies.” Keep howling, mate; that’s the only way we got easier swinging doors at the postoffice. IN m GOOD OLD DAYS; WHAT, WHAT? Remember about 17 years ago when 300 of the 330 telephone pa trons in Shelby got all hot and bothered and threatened to take out their telephones if the proposed &0-cent increase in rates was put into effect? That was the year—1914, if you’re not good at figures—when Sloop’s drug store staged a contest and gave away a pony. Who got it? Ladd Hamrick, of Boiling Springs, won the Hoey oratorical contest that year. 'It was in April of 1914 that the Hartness roller mill began opera tions. The town was so enthused over the new Industry that it fell sorry—really, it did—for tank towns that did not have roller mills. Be fore then Shelby’s elite had been shouldering a turn of com and toting it to a corn mill, or buying flour made in Milwaukee. A big Tom Thumb wedding was staged In the spring of 1914 with Raymond Carroll aa the groom, Mildred Clendenin as the bride and Bre vard Lattimore as the parson. And, oh,-boy! The ladies were not stepping so high wide and hand some then. Hobble skirts! That was the spring John Ross escaped from the stale prison. What double murder was he convicted ol? Shelby Shorts: Wonder how Shelby seems to Harold Gratfin, ol Sam soun, Turkey, without Heavy's cafe and bacon-and-tomato sandwiches at midnight? ..... Somebody out at the telephone office, maybe Sam Gault or mayhaps some of those siren-voiced hfcllo girls, reads this col yum . , . The new telephone directory has this comer's name spelled right for the first time and the only complaint ever made about it wa an innocent little line herein . . . , The best golf story we’ve ever read was “The Finisher” by Talbert Josselyn in the last issue ot Collier s “Wonder,” wonders a reader, “if Betty Buttle hasn't been entered in rhe Miss Shelby contest for fear she’d run off with the show?” .... Sh-h-h! .''Cap’n" Frank Jenkins and Jay Dee Lineberger have the Cleve land Springs golf course in the best condition ever . . The whole place looks as hoity-toity now as the swankiest country club in Southern Cali fornia, especially on Friday afternons when the ladies are around the club house bridging, golfing or between-me-and-youing ..... W. H. Queen has been in the painting business for 30 years . . . How many women do you know who have been in the same business t,hat lofig, or longer? ... Carelul there, now! .... And did.you notice that pun in the Eskridge News Friday about the hubby, the maid, the w>ife and the chauffeur? Tush! Tush! AND ADDRESS IT! A Teader butts in with this: "Lately you have referred to & Shelby boy who met a girl and married her nine days later. Then you told of the young man who would not announce his marriage. Items of that type are better with the names given. Will you please give them?” Yes’m; send a stamped envelope. We do business just like Dot Dix and Doc Copeland. Our secrets, advice, and tips are not to be trundled nut: in nnhlip frwv «a on->a-al FAT FOLKS MAKE OTHERS RICH Some of the old-timers, y'know, said that it is an ill wind that doesn't cany along a good puff for somebody. So it is. Many people, we judge by all the interest in dieting, do not get such a kick out of being fat. Its a nightmare, or maybe two nightmares to them. But. on the other hand, did you ever realize that the fat folks are making somebody—just who we know not—rich a penny at a time? More Shelby people, to get down to the point, are interested in their weight than you might think, or you and you and you. Last week Chiv Champio nand Alf Eskridge unlocked the penny scales in front of the drug store “just a whisper off the square'* and in it were 6.235 coppers. Lessee now—one, two .three, four, five, six—that mounts up to sixty-two dollars and two bits, doesn't it? Believe well get a pair of scales, set them in front of the Woman’s club room, then quit our job and go fishing. Maybe it's a bum idea but Woolworth had something like that on his mind when he started cor nering all the buffaloes and thins m America.

TRAINED experts compute ft; but property owners—individually and collectively — create the conditions which determine the cost of their fire i nsurance. Several major factors enter into the de termination of fire insurance rates, such as structure; occupancy, the quality of private and public fire protection, ex posure from other property and seneral loss experience. Surveys AnUeUt The agent who writes your insurancecan obtain an itemized explanation of how your insurance rate is computed. There is nothing secret about it. STOCK FIRE INSURANCE companies solicit your interest, and offer free of charge the advice of rate making bureaus to assist in eliminating hazards or correcting defects which may affect your rate. Seefc Courts*! Do not attempt unsound fire prevention measures, but seek the counsel of the accredited experts of rating bureaus who desire to tell you the proper way to make improvements. Insurance companies generally prefer risks eligible to a low rate to those which carry higher ones. A low rate i nd icates better conditions, better main tenance and less chance of fire. In North Carolina fire insurance rates are computed by the North Carolina Inspection and Rating Bureau, with offices at Raleigh.
