SHELBY HUBBIES— HAVE NEW ALIBI Nowadays Shelby husbands who stay out a bit too late at night have a new alibi to offer the angry better half when they come slip ping in in the wee hours. “My dear,” they say, “I intended to be home by 9 or 9:30 but» you know, they got me on the county court jury uptown and I just had tc sit there until now.” Chances are, too, that some of the wretches will be telling the truth At one night session some time ago Judge Maurice WeatiTfers threatened to send the jury to the hotel for the night unless they reachd a verdict. Some few of the fellows just had to get home. They hadn't been out that late—midnight—-in years. So in a few minutes they brought in a verdict. One night last week the evidence in a case was not in until midnight and as 2 o'clock approached there was no verdict and a mistrial was ordered. Of course, ladies, we’re not saying that it’s Jury-duty every night. But you'll more n likely find out that. BLESSED EVENTIN’ “Where,” comes the howls from three of the six or seven regular readers, ‘'was the colyum Monday?" Walter Winchell, the slang-slinging New York columnist, would ex plain it as part of the period devoted to recovery from a blessed event Reproduction of just a portion of the wise-cracks, puns and remarks tossed at this corner over the happening that Winchell so well named would take too much space. And then, y'know, there's the customary embarrassment, modesty, etc , and so on. “More than likely,” pops up one wit, “he’ll not mind arriving in Cai olinas’ best town on Friday, the 13th, but think what a shock is in store for him when he gets old enough to realize that of all things he might have been he is nothing more than the son of a newspaper co/’umlst— and what’s tougher, named after him, too!” Another crack: "I heard that he was known as 'Little x until he got his new name. What did that mean In newspaper parlance—'Extra Edition'?” Then what a kick the boss got out of slipping in the announcement the line that "BOTH parents are doing as well as could be expected.” It's quite an occasion, if you haven’t experienced it land we hear some few haven’t), don't let anyone spoof you about it. Now, since time about is fair play, you tell us about your baby. 5,000 HOMES RECEIVE THE STAR Every Other Day. That Means 20,000 intense Readers.

There’s Truth In 'It’s balanced Ingredients make it healthful'' I Nobody’s \ Business By GEE McGEE A ’'Rough” In the Diamond. Hiram Brockton, like Jack Iv ans in jesterdajtt piece. was a schoolmate of mine, but he did not “mate ’ very much with me or any body else—as the common run of boys and girls were not good enough for him. Hiram always tame to school spick and span, sail or-boy collar and sallor-boy hat, blue velvet britches with silver buckles on them, red shoes and a pocket handkerchief -that last named being an article practically unknown to school children—at that time. Hiram had pretty curly hair and it was kept well-trimmed. Hia mother or father always fetched him to school in a rubber tired buggy, but they never would let anybody ride with them—should they overtake anyone in the road. And if it looked like rain, papa or mamma, or Jerry, the house man, would always trot up to the school house and take Hiram home a whirling. Hiram was awfully stuck up. He poked fun at Jack Ivvins because of his big brown biscuits and sor ghum molasses, and ate his own lunch—egg custard, pound cake, boiled eggs, ham and sweet cakes -r—where everybody could see what he had so's their mouths would wa ter. (I have known my own mouth to water for 5 hours after watching that bird devour a meal then fit for a king or a queen with plenty Jack) Hiram's folks always bragged i about Ills brilliance and culture and told the teacher to be nice and pleasant to him at all times. He studied but very little and pouted very much. He Jogged along and got through our country school by some hook or crook, mostly crook. Nobody liked little "Smarty" as we all lov ingly called him. We hated his pretty leather srhooll satchel and his fine knit drawers and under shirt—the first most of us ever saw and he kept us mad all the time crunching candy and never offered us a jmell of it. But time kept on a -moving. Hi ram began to drink and carouse around when he got big enough to cuss out loud. His father and moth er could not control him and he talked back to them and bused them whenever he thought U desir able. He was sent to college. He flunked, of course. He was sent to another college and flunked again of course. He kept on going, how ever. and kept on flunking till he flunked through at the bottom of his class. He wasted his family’s money for several years-till It was about all gone and then he drlited—and drifted—and drifted. Hiram finally wrote Jack Irvins a letter and begged for help. Jack Ivvlns. the big hearted buainesa man gave Hiram a fairly good job in the mailing department of his firm and Hiram is making a Hying, but that's all. Jack says he would do more for Hiram if he deserved it. And that's the way it goes. It just looks like the "wrong" crowd always succeeds anyhow. Yesterday and Today. When I was a baby, mother did not give me a dose of medicine ev ery time I sneezed. I am thankful for that. Babies have a hard time these days. They are bathed and rubbed and violet-rayed half to death before they know how to — , crawl. They have to drink tnllk till they get big enough to throw rocks -and then mother splits a grain of rice and bolls It for him or her and her or him drinks the soup made therefrom On the doctor's advice, all food must bo sterllled and possessed of vitamin “B'' before a 15-months old baby touches It. Vitamin "C" Is served for breakfast and 2 calories of stuff that contains vitamin "D” are given for his or her lunch, and milk, with 9999,777 bacteria, must be served to the little darling heat ed to exactly #5 degrees Fahrenheit from a bottle that has been washed and scrubbed and soaked for 3 days —at • 43 p m. and then he or she. and mebbe both- must go to sleep immediately thereafter Growing children »rr also punish ed with foods thst they don't like. The drug-stores end grocery stores are loaded down with baby foods that are good for nothing except to create merchandise traffic. Some smart Yankee can take 15 cents worth of wheat and mash it. a little then roll It slightly, then bake it temporarily, and then make it into crubs and sell it to some peculiar or particular mother for $4.00 I am thankful, too, for the lack of knowledge of breakfast foods when I was age-ing My trouble when I was lingering j along between 7 and 12 years of age was -getting enough to rat. Not that we didn't have plenty] but plenty was not satisfactory to me. No matter what our folks had on the table—corn bread and collards —or corn-dodgers and buttermilk— or peas and pea soup, we ate every thing In sight and sopped out the plates. Our babies ate anything any body else ate after they got old enough to know that it was intend ed for human consumption. Another thing I am thankful for is—we didn't have any spinach back yonder. The cows and billy goats have never had much use for their grasses and herbs—but spinach ts the only so-called vegetable that I know of at present that ain't hard ly fit for a billy goat or a cow to eat. If some quack doctor or dieti cian can get a few words into print that might intimate that snake eggs and doodle-snout are full of vitamins and other litter—immedi ately there afterthe cltlsenry makes a dive for snake eggs and doodle -snouts. Rating most breakfast foods is only a matter of wasting time and money. Ninety-five per cent of the baby concoctions ain’t worth two live republicans. I don’t ifltan to say that you can feed little Jerry on ham and eggs, but It's time to quit making him eat food that he doesnt’ like because Dr. Bull says It cured Billie Snooks. Nursing him Is all right If you find time to give him a few chances during the day— between bridge and beauty naps, but feed him also. Wheat Variety Te»t Begun At Ellenboro five DilfrrriU VirlrliM Are Under Demonstration on Brook'a hm. • Special to The Star > Ellenboro, Nov. 17.—With more interest on the part of Ellenboro farmers in the growing of wheat, oats and other small grains, the ag ricultural department of the school cooperating with Mr. B.

To Raise Water In Big Canal 87 Feet Balboa.—Canal officials have or dered the water level of Gatum lake to be raised to 87 feet. The rainy season is now drawing to a close, with yie customary daily heavy downpours, and more than 2,5000.000,000 cubic ft. of water will be impounded into the lake during the next 40 days. Eighty-seven feet is the highest lake water mark that can be main tained with safety. Heavy rains are causing officials of the canal n> concern iv 783.000 cubic feet of water per second can be disposed of through the spillway. Pure food, pure milk, pure water in all the things you eat or drink, you want absolute purity. Purity counts in cigarettes, too Making cigarettes as pure as they can be made is our business. And it’s your bus iness, too—because you smoke them. All the materials that go into the making of CHMTERriELD cigarettes are tested again and tgain by expert research chemists to see that they tre absolutely clean and pure. Just like the things /ou eat or drink. The tobacco is pure. The right kind—mild, sweet and ripe! Handled throughout by the most modern machinery. Tke paper is pure. Clean. White. The best cigarette paper that money can buy. There is cleanliness in every step of Chester field s manufacture. Old-fashioned methods have been discarded, and Chesterfields are ma3c and packed in modern sanitary factories where even the air is washed, and changed every four-and-one-half minutes. Every day more men and women are chang ing to Chesterfield. And changing for good! Four big reasons clinch the choice: Milder— Taste Better—Pure — Satisfy. <6 ■ - 51. litoiTT * Umj Toaacco Co.
