SHELBY SHORTS WHEN A CURE IS ASHAMED AND BLUSHES A contributor, aiglng as “E. Z.'\ offers this explanation of the dif ference between an old-fashioned girl and a modern girl: "An old-fashioned girl blushes when she la ashamed and a modern girl la ashamed when she blushes.” ORATOR ONCE SANG FOR HIS CHOCOLATE Until recently we had never heard that in his newspaperlng da-'g Clyde Hoey was fond of chocolate candy (and may be yet) and he sang for his daily sweets. In those days chocolate was a rarity hereabouts but Ebeltoft kept It. The young newspaper editor would saunter over to the bookstore once a day and start nibbling candy while the bookstore sage read hi the rear. Finally, he would notice the tptruder In the candy case anti would come up to deliver a lecture. Whereupon the editor began sing lng and Ebeltoft would dash to the rear, hands over his ears, exclaiming •Omigoshl" He’d rather let the visitor have his '111 of candy than hear the singing. REAL TALENT SHOW IN IN RELIGIOUS PAGEANT Viola Thomas who directed the negro pageant, "Heaven Bound." anu every member of the cast, from the saints to the red-tailed devil deserve commendation for staging one of the best entertainments Shelby ha witnessed in many years. It was as gripping(an exposition of natural talent—singing, acting and pantomine—as Is seldom seen. Some of ti.e performers, the majority of whom have had little or no training, ccuid with expert direction, be hits anywhere. He was not used In that role In the pageant, but It would be a treat to hear Sam Graham's tenor in a solo part. Sueh has been the success of the pageant, prepared by the negro teachers of Shelby and the county, (it Is being presented the third time this week), that they should offer a similar presentation every year Anything comparable to “Heaven Bound” each year would soon build into an annual event that would be looked forward to by the entire section. Why not a presentation every year? NO MONEY IN IT; JUST GOOD-WILL Here and there, with the Lindbergh kidnapping the major topic at every turn, one hears some of the cynics say that there would not bJ so much to it if It were not for the play-up being given by the news papers “to make money.” The kidnapping was one of the biggest stories in more than a decade, but a one-armed man could count on his finders the newspapers that have profited out of it—in money. Take The Star as an example: In order to give the readers the best service t> contract was made with the United Press to furnish the latest wire developmenls up to an hour before press time. This service was also combined with bulletin protection. And the cost of the U. P. protection alone to The Star will double and triple the money coming in from all street sales Pi the paper. “Covering the story” was even more expensive for the big papers. They have been spending thousands Installing special wires and operators, sending out staff men, and securing rush photos that cost hundreds to prepare and deliver. It is all done for Uie benefit of the reader, to maintain the good-will of the circulation. A paper which does not go to additional expense at times to give its readers the latest cannot hold a good circulation for any length of time; readers soon realize they are not getting what the> might get elsewhere. Therefore the expense of giving that coverage. Tl.e paper makes nothing of of it directly, but Indirectly holds and builds its circulation. That’s what counts in the newspaper games. The boat equipped newspaper plant in tire world .would be worthless without a reader. The value of a newspaper is not, by far, just the material and mechanical equipment. The real value is the circulation—the good-w.'ll of the readers. It is surprising, to one in the game, how many people think that a newspaper makes ends meet, If It does, by the subscription price cr a nickel per copy. The $2.50 paid for an annual subscription to The Star by a reader WILL NOT pay for the paper and ink used in the 150 copits he or she gets during the year, not to mention the salaries of a score of employes, and other expense. How, then, the skeptical may ask, is a paper kept going? By advertising, and the sensible advertlsei does Lot spend money and advertise in a paper that does not have a good cir culation and does not carry a news service that causes the paper to be read by every member of the family in every home where it goes. Pardon the shop-talk, but even a columnist—the king's Jester and clown of the newspaper game—must be serious, or attempt to be sex lous, at times. ) HELLUF! What about some more tips on long service records with the same firm? 5,000 HOMES RECEIVE THE STAR Every Other Day. That Means 20,000 in tense Readers.

Inset are the sorrowing parents and the stolen baby It is reported that Colonel Lindbergh ha? received assurances from the kidnapers that the baby is alive and well, but no official rontematlon was given by the Lindbergh family. Nobody's Business By GEE Me GEE Evolution Of Tf Spe-Shoes A. D. 1S30 Daughter: "Mother, wont you; please talk to daddy and ask him1 | to let me go to a party tonight a’; Sara Smith's home?

D. 1925 Mother: "Daddy, it’s nearly 3 o'clock. O, I am so worried about daughter. She left with Kay Lan> mity about 8 o’clock and I have w idea where they went. Daughter has been smoking too much here of late, and she is possiblly trying to be too nice by taking a little toddy occasionally.’’ Daddy: "Why don’t you lay down the law to that girl?’’ Mother: "Since when did you stop laying down the law to your children? What can 1 do with ,her? [She never asks me what to do and what not to do.” A. D. 1928 Mother: "Daughter and I will be away a few hours. Take good care of the house and kids, Lemme have ten dollars. We'll need a few stnoKts and possibly some other things at Ithe drug store. Stop looking at me [like that, and don't forget to put ithe cat out and bank the fire." I Daddy: "All right, darling." A.

Hun.> up; don't look so much tike a Jacir ass. O, why did 1 ever marry such an excuse for a husband?” Aged In The Slicks I think I have previously stated in this column that I was bom very young and in the country to boo< I was exactly one year old at my first birthday: 1 remember it well —because 1 was given a nice oil cloth bibb for a pre ent, the pur pose of which was to keep milk and pot-liker and other vegetables from ruining my pretty lit tie lindsev dress. <1 had 2 dresses, one for Sunday and 1 for the balance at the time). When I ‘>camo along" a nur«e was an unknown miahtity, except the Older children nursed the youn ger children. I raised 3 tine guts and 2 fine boys my. elf, brothers and Sisters. It seems that I inher ited that nurse job for the younj «er. off-springs, and I was never demoted or promoted therefrom. Nurir.g war easier then than .1 appears to be now when a kiuj wanted to bawl, why, I just moved] him out of bawling distance from] ma and let him bawl. It was good! for the lungs. One good thing about bringing up a child long ago was—they lied only one garment in the summer time to fool with and only 2 in tre winter time Nobody tried to dodge such diseases as measles, mumps, whooping cough ana yellow jar.-] decs but ma made a pretense at j keeping us well: she made us- wear an assy-flddlty ball around our necks while going to school.

The public did not pay for little things like schools then. All of my 9 brothers and sisters carried their dinners in separate buckets—to avoid fights at big re cess. I can see my dinner right now: 2 big biscuits that I bored holes in with my finger and pour ed therein some ho-made sorghum, and X generally had a dessert con sisting of a piece of fried sweet po tato, or possibly a flitter. (That's what we called fried bread). Nothing has ever been half so good to me as those school dinners. Occasionally our teacher would go to sleep during big recess arid the guy that made a noise loud enough to wake him up got a good bumping on a stump the next day.
