We wish to call your attention to the tact that tt is and nas oeen our custom to charge five cents per tine tor resolutions of respect, cards of thanks and obituary notices, after one death notice nas oeen published, mis will be strictly adhered to, FRIDAY, SEPT. 18. 1931 TWINKLES Just a week from Tuesday and it will be fair time! The location in Shelby of a classing office by the N. C. Cotton Co-ops was a good move. It will facilitate the grad ing cotton and get the farmer his money without unneces sary delay. ,i e Twinkler has an idea that men drawn as Federal court jurors from neighboring counties for the fall.term in Shelby are not a bit reluctant about coming. Y'ou see. Federal court and fair week hit here at the same time. The New York Daily News published recently a photo of President Hoover as he would appear if garbed in a loin doth similar to that worn by Ghandi, the skinny yet mighty leader of India. Yes, yea; but a contrast in physical make up; double-chins and rolls of fat on one, wrinkles and em aciated lines on the other. I HELPING THE UNFORTUNATE AS A RULE, says Arthur Brisbane the high-salaried edi torial writer, "the poor take care of each other, those that have little helping those who have nothing." A very precise observation and a very truthful declar ation. Jt is the fellow who has felt the pinch himself who is ready and willing to aid those more unfortunate than he. This winter, however, it appears as if everyone in fair circumstances will have to help those less fortunate if un told suffering and want are to be avoided. A good prevent ive before the bitter winter weather arrives is to urge every one to conserve and put away all available food supplies. There Is an abundance of fruit and vegetables in Cleveland county now. Not one iota should be wasted. Can, preserve and dry; it will mean much before another spring. ACTIVE CHURCH SEASON THE FALL MONTHS will see much activity and much of interest taking place in the churches. Soon the rapidly growing Kings Mountain Baptist As sociation will gather with the veteran minister. Rev. John W. Suttle presiding as moderator. It is one of the outstand ing Baptist organizations in the South and its assembling is always a high light of the year. In the Presbyterian churches a unified program of evangelism has been planned for the synodical year of 1931-32. This program is to a great extent outlined and motivated by the committees on men’s work which is head ed in the synod by Rev. H. N. McDiarmid, Shelby pastor. Ere long the Methodist Conferences will be in session. Ministers will have their pastorates changed and Methodist congregations will he wondering if their pastor will remain or who the new minister will be. Among those who stand the chance of being moved are Rev, L. B. Hayes, Rev. W. R. Jenkins. Rev. R. L. Forbis and others in the county. The fall is an important period in the religious program of Shelby and the county. AIMEE AMU HER MA PEGGY JOYCE, Gloria Swanson, or any of the luminaries at Hollywood who have embarked upon unusual matri monial adventures might get a few tips on having their amorous carryings-on better publicized by journeying to up town Los Angeles. Aime Semple McPherson, the Angelus Temple evange list, and her mother, Minnie (Ma) Kennedy, have it all over the cinema stars in getting the headlines when they find a love (?) mate. A few months ago Mrs. Kennedy had her honeymoon torn asunder when it was learned that her new “daddy" had another wife. Then last Sunday Aimee, shining light of Angelus Temple, slipped quietly away to Yuma. Arizona, and was married to a 200-pound baritone singer of her tem ple organization. What happened? Up popped a young nurse who said that Mr. Hutton, Aimee’s new husband, was really her man, having wooed and won her without marry ing before stealing the heart of the feminine evangelist. Undoubtedly, there’s something about that California coast atmosphere that instils matrimonial longing and boom erangs with matrimonial disruption. Anyway, thanks be, those California love tangles give relief from monotonous depression headlines and silly prophecies about prosperity being ready to hop, skip and jump around the corner. DANGEROUS WOMEN WONDER HOW MANY fabricated stories by women have sent innocent men to death or to undeserved punish ment*? Down in Jones county, eastern North Carolina, the other day a 19-year-old girl in a well known family came in home with a story abouLbeing attacked. She had been held, she said, in a thicket for an hour and a half by a myster iously robed man who assaulted her twice. She was not positive, due to his hood and robe, whether her assailant was white or black. The revolting story, however, stirred the section.

AVERAGING SEVEN RlNGEPP OUr OF TtN SHOE? <H/?0WN — the man who would so abuse a young girl. Two or three men, including a 35-year-old farm hand, were arrested and rushed to jail to prevent any likely violence. Tt could have been that partial identification of one of the men would have resulted in a tragedy. After a day, as it was, the girl modified her story. What was it? Instead of being so brutally man-handled, according to her rebuilt story, she had voluntarily walked into the woods! with the 35-year-old farm hand and remained there for more than an hour. Her relatives, alarmed by her absence, start ed a search. They thought they saw a man making a hur ried getaway/ The girl had to have a story and she told of the assault. Think, by sticking to her original story, how she might have endangered some innocent man’s life and freedom. The averting of a tragic aftermath in this instance should be a warning for the future. Be sure, be certain! No Better Time To Buy Farms Than NowOn Which To Earn Livelihood There Have Been Worse Times, Ssyi Taylor. Two Cleveland County Speakers On Program. Hendersonville, Sept. 14.—'"Busi ness conditions In the ‘early nineties' were such as to make our present 1 slump in business look like ‘good tildes,’ yet there are still numerous men without jobs and many of them have been working for others so long that they have lost the knack, if they ever had it, of working for themselves," declared R. J. Taylor, vice-president and secretary of the Federal Land Bank of Columbia, S. C., here today, before a large as sembly of directors, officers and borrowers from 37 National Farm Loan Associations in this Rnd ad joining counties, called for the pur pose of discussing affairs of the as sociations and the making of long term, first farm mortgage loans. Drift Back to Country. "Many men are walking ttie streets of towns and cities, willing to work but. unable to get jobs, but there arc increasing numbers who are purchasing farms and assuring themselves a living and good shelter at least," continued Mr. Taylor. "We are positive of this for the inquiries for farms coming to the bank front people living in towns and cities have increased remarkably in the last year and the sales to this class of people are much larger than ever before. Many of them were farmers a few years ago and were enticed to town and city jobs when those were plentiful and wages were high. Those who have saved enough to make the Initial payment on a farm are indeed lucky for they can solve not only the unemployment problem but provide themselves with a live lihood and an opportunity to devel op comfortable farm homes with as many luxuries and conveniences as they ever had In the cities. rarm me need no longer or me Isolated life of a few years ago. The automobile has annihilated distance and made neighbors of those who live across the county or even the state, the telephone has put the markets at the end of a wire; the radio brings enterjainment, and so on, through a multitude of improve ments or refinements of farm life. Yet these farms, cleared and in op eration. can be purchased in many instances for prices which represent about as much as was expended ori gtnally by those who settled them in making them habitable and ready for crops. What a far cry from the hardships of the pioneeri "Prices of farm land have dropped so low in some places that they have been fully, or overly, deflated. That means that they should enable an Intelligent farmer to earn a living, pay the interest and taxes, and lay aside something for Improvements or a 'ratnv d#v ’ There are thousands 4 I ————-— ; of people who have decided to en j gage In farming In this state in the (last year and there are many others 'who have added to their holdings while prices are low, thus reducing the overhead on their total acreage. A Million Dollars Worth of Sales. "The Federal Land bank and local National Farm Loan associations have sold more than a million dol lars worth of land during the last eight months which Is several times as much as was sold during the first eight months of 1930. We expect to exceed this record during the next half year. There is no reason why this should not be done for the bank is offering bargains which must be disposed of. It is not in the farming business, neither axe the associations. It takes long-term loans only, taking only first mortgages. However, on the farms which have been foreclosed it is making very at tractive terms, but insists that the down payment must be sufficient to make it a real sale. Subsequent pay ments providing for gradual reduc tion of the purchase price, with privilege to pay part or all of the balance at any time, is arranged so as t;o make it possible for the pur chaser to work his way out of debt. "The price which has been placed upon these farms frequenty has no* relation to the original ap praised value. The farms have all been reappraised taking into consid eration present conditions. The bank officials are convinced that the peo ple to own these properties usually live in the vicinities where they are located They know the true value of the properties and are good judges of what they are capable of producing over a series of years, and after all, that is the real test of the value of the average farm. That is why we are selling so many farms to the neighbors." Cleveland Men Speak. The meeting was called to order by N. S. Whitaker of Mars Hill, chairman of the group. S. G. Rhodes, secretary of the association at Fletcher, acted as secretary of the meeting; A. J. Rankin, secretary at Gastonia, discussed Factors to be Considered by the loan committee; Henry B. Edwards .secretary at Shel by, spoke of our responsibilities; L. A. Kiser, secretary at Kings Moun tain, talked on the subject of Profit from Livestock and Poultry; C. M, Earle, assistant treasurer of the Fed eral Land Bank of Columbia, dis cussed Delinquencies and Real Es tate. The meeting was held in the court house and luncheon provided at Skyland hotel. The associations in dtstrict No. 1 of North Carolina number 37. They have capital invested in the Federal Land Bank amounting to $252,280. They have loans outstanding num bering 3.226, for a total amount ag gregating $5,000,000. These 37 asso ciations have 65 farms in foreclos ure.

Blimp Moored To Highest Building New York, Sept. 16.—A small ccm ; mercial dirigible carrying two men was moored Wednesday at the top of the Empire state building, high est building in the world which rises more than 1,000 feet above 5th ave nue at 34th street and which Is topped with a mooring mast. The blimp is the same one which ran awry in a high wind a week ago and narrowly escaped being blown out to sea. It had made an earlier attempt to tie up to the Em pire state, but had been prevented by wind. The dirigime ha,; no equipment for coupling to the tip of the mooring mast so Its crew merely drove it above the building and dropped landing ropes, a ground crew stand ing on a balcony below the top of the mast caught the ropes and pulled the blimp down. The ground crew held the blimp for something less than ft minute in a breeze registered on the wind indi cator on the mast at 45 miles an hour and then set it free again.
