DESERVED TRIBUTE
“When the cat's away, the mice
will play” is an expression with
which we are all familiar. The writer
is going to take advantage of the
absence of the Herald editor and
use his columns for a purpose which
we are positive he will never use
them for — namely, to pay him and
his publication justly deserved tri
bute.
Mr. Lynch, as the front page story
states, is down on the coast for a
few days rest.
We first met Mr. Lynch in March, j
1935, just a short time after he be
came editor of the Herald. At that
time, he realized fully that there
were many and varied problems to
be faced, tremendous obstacles to
be overcome, were he to mak a suc
cess of his business venture in Kings
Mountain. We admired the manner
in which he viewed the task ahead;
not in a foolishly optimistic vein,
not with a "boy, I'm going to set the
woods afire" attitude, but with a
strong determination to build slowly,
solidly; to make the Kings Moun
tain Herald a definite asset to the
town, to use it’s pages in the inter
ests of progress and development,
to give to advertiser and subscriber
alike a paper of great mutual bene
fit. To give the most complete state
ment of his feeling toward Kings
Mountain in the fewest possible
words, it is necessary to write only
one sentence: he was intent on be
coming a good citizen.
Time passes. We return to Kings
Mountain and find what? We find
that in a period of two years, Mr. j
Lynch has developed the Kings I
Mountain Herald from an unattrac- j
tive, mediocre sheet of little interest !
into a lively, up-to-date weekly news
paper. We find now a paper of pres
tige and importance, a publication
which deserves and receives that all I
important support from advertiser
and subscriber. We discover that .vtr I
Lynch has not only made a success
of his newspaper venture, but has
carved a place for himself. in the
progressive citizenry of Kings
Mountain, has made a world of
friends, has definitely become a good
citizen.

ed without effort; the sleeping po
liceman does not catch the prowling
burglar. Persistent working, a de-1
sire to accomplish, a goal to strive 1
for all are letters of the word "sue- j
cess." . i
For the very first time since Mr |
Lynch came to Kings Mountain, the
Herald goes to press this week in
his absence. However, he will be
back, at the helm next week, rested
after a well-earned vacation, ready
to cary’ on. We, and others we are
sure, wish him continued success
Congratulations to the Herald and
to you. Mr. Lyuch!
Well, we’ll probably get shot for
writing this, but isn't it better to
gi^e a person one little dandelion, if
you’re sincere, and say “you are”
than a truck-loan of roses and say
"he was"?—n. C. MoSwain.
NO LONGER A"LABOR"
QUESTION
The labor situation has reached a
point where it affects every citizen
The unlawful occupation of prop
erty by workers to enforce their
demands, and the breakdown of our
law enforcement agencies in pro
tecting the property owner, is a new
experience in the United States. It
is but one step removed from revo
lution.
If one class of citizens can dispos
sess another class of the use of
their property- it is only a step furtll
er to take over such property per
manently. Wt have witnessed that in
Itussia and Spain.
If workmen stop and think, they
will see that they are destroying
their own safety and liberty when
they foment revolutionary practices.
INFLATION AND
THE BUDGET
The feeling is growing among out
standing authorities that if the
threat of inflation is to be eliminated
the Federal budget must be balanc
ed.
Signs of inflation have already ap
peared in "boom" conditions thar,
though they may appear temporarily
beneficial, actually imperil sound re
covery. There ean bo no stability so
long as our fiscal policy is in a !
state of confusion.
Inflation hits hardest at persons of |
moderate means — persons with
fixed salaries and wages, or fixed
returns from investments. Under the
High Quality Eggs Bring
Good Prices
"You can't get good prices for j
poor eggs,’’ said C. J. Maupin, exten
sion poultry specialist at State Col
lege.
Yet many poultrymen help beat
down prices every' spring and sum
mer by flooding the market with in
ferior eggs, he continued.
Good eggs can be produced in hot
weather, he added, if poultrymen
feed and manage their flocks as
they should. Here are a few things
Maupin said that will improve egg
quality:
Produce only infertile eggs. Infer
tile eggs keep better and are of n j
more desirable quality than fertile
eggs. i
Gather the eggs twice a day in a
wire basket or other ventilated con- j
tainer. Allow the eggs to cool for 12
hours before packing them in cases. !
Eggs should be kept in a cellar or I
other place where temperature re-!
mains between 35 to 60 degrees.
Air should circulate freely be
tween the eggs. If the air becomes
too dry in hot weather, a few pans
of water set on the floor will help
keep the roo mmoist.
Take the eggs to maket at least
twice a week, if possible. Clean eggs
brink more attractive prices than
dirty eggs.
Don’t try to save money by skimp
ing on feed. Poorly fed birds can’t
produce very many good eggs, but it
is a good plan to 6ave feed by culling
out low-producing birds.
Farmers who wish to preservo
some, of their eggs for home con
sumption next fall and winter con
do so with sodium silicate, or the
water glass method, which is inex
pensive. Only sound eggs should be
saved as defective eggs are likely to
spoil.

Time For Action
By RA'l MONO PITCAIRN
!\ulionul CUuirnum
I_Sentinels ol the He public_
While official Washington wrangles
over the tax burden and possible meth
ods of retrenchment, the Government
shows no signs of reducing its costliest
feature.
That is the long, long payroll com
posed of public jobholders.
During the month of March, for
example, while economy discussion
crowded the news columns, the Execu
tive branch jumped its payroll by 2860
employes—reaching a total on March
31, of approximately 830,000.
That's bigger than the population of
at least ten of our states. And It doesn't
includes employes of the legislative,
military, or judicial branches of the
Federal government,
Their inclusion would raise still
higher the total of Federal jobholders
—all paid regularly out of public funds
charged against the American worker
and earner.
For March, alone, according to official
reports, the bill exceeded $128,000,000.
Naturally the public asks why, with
so much talk of economy, something
isn’t done to lighten this particular
burden.
Nor is the public alone in its question.
Various commissions, including at
least one Senatorial group, have rec
ommended a plan of reorganization
which, by eliminating some excess bu
reaus and merging others, could assure
real progress toward efficient and eco
nomic administration of our national
affairs.
But so far as Congress itself is con
cerned, there has been little, if any,
action on this proposal.
Independent studies have approved
the plan. A committee of Senate mem
bers recommends it. The public de
mands economy. Apparently only the
beneficiaries of Bureaucracy themselves
are opposed.
Whatever program of retrenchment
may ultimately be adopted—whether it
follows this or some other practical
plan—the time has definitely come
for Congress to stop talking economy
and to act instead.

rise far more rapidly than Income—

fiscal program.
sheets in time will be eligible to '
earn soil-building and divesion pay
ments by complying with the terms
of the program this year.
Those who signed work sheets for
1936 are not required to sign again
for 1937, Floyd, continued, but if
they have bought more land or other
wise made changes in their farms,
they should notify their county *•
gents at once.
Work sheets are used in preparing
information that will help farmers
plan their farming operations so as
to take part in the program and get
all the benefits possible.
The work sheets is not a contract,
Floyd added, and when a grower
signs one he does not place himself
under any obligation whatever. But.
a work sheet must be filed with the
county office If a grower is to re
ceive any payments.
He pointed out tnat there are two
reasons why work sheets must be
signed on or before June 12. First,
information from work sheets signed
after June 12 would be too late to be
of use to growers this year. Second,
the task of checking up on growers’
compliance with the program will
start in June in some counties.
Farm Questions Answered
Q.—Is it too early to turn my cat

A.—The chief value of lespedeza
for grazing is that it furnishes good
pasturage during the hot summer
and fall months when other pasture
grasses are dormant. For this rea
son the crop should not be grazed

SYNOPSIS
Carol Howard felt that no
thing would ever free her from
her life of genteel drudgery for
the romance she dreamed about.
Then one morning a letter ar
rived telling her that she had
won an unbelievable fortune in
the lottery. With her temNn
valid aunt gone to Brighton,
Carol and her friend Kate plan
their new life, and await the ar
rival of Carol’* fiance, Ronnie,
from Ms five-year sojourn in the
Sudan. The apartment is to let,
and a stranger has arrived to
inquire about renting it.
Chapter Two
He stepped across the threshold,
hat in hand, and Carol noticed that I
he was as pleasant and gentle as '
he sounded. A high, cultured fore
head with carefully btushei^wavy ■
hair and deep-3ct, thoughtful eyes ,
were the first things that met her
glance. Then she noticed that his
slender, well-knit figure was simply
draped in clothing that was quietly
eloquent of breeding and taste.
Within a surprisingly short time
she was completely at ease with
him. She liked his appreciaton of 1
Cut I’m glad I found out about it
in time."
Ronnie became cold and grave
“If you feel that way about it," h»
said slowly, “I’m glad too." And
donning his hat, he walked rapid
ly from the apartment.
Carol sat stunned for an instan<
then raced after him. As she open
ed the door, Lovell confronted h«e
again. "Shall I call him back?” Se
inquired blandly.
"No, it's nothing important," she
said with sudden decision. “Won*
you come in?”
It seemed now that Lovell wa»
very much taken with the flat. Bis
when Carol told him that she woule
only be gone for six weeks, he de
murred. "It's hardly worth mj
trouble,” he said. “But I’ll think it
over and telephone you.”
"The number is Baywater 6098,”
Carol said.
He whipped a small book from
his pocket and extracted a pencil
from the back of its binding. "The
name is Howard,” he inquired, look
ing into her eyes.
Carol felt, with a curious sense
of fright, that she was being drawn
toward -this stranger. There was
a mixed quality of hurt gentleness
and some unplumbed depth in his
eyes. "Miss Carol Howard," she
spoke.
"Of course,” he apologised. "you'll be dining vAth pour fiance."
the good things she had bought for
the apartment. From his conversa
tion she soon learned that he was
wealthy, traveled, that he was seek
ing the apartment because the
neighborhood brought back his boy
hood. He told her that he was a
chemical engineer, but that his
principal interest was amateur
photography.
Kate returned and went out again
tor their tickets to Paris. Then the
bell rang again, and this time it
v'as Ronnie. Carol noted with mix
ed feelings that he was unchanged,
Just a bit older. He stared for a
moment at her visitor, who sudden
ly remembered that he had not been
Introduced. “Lovell, Gerald Lovell
L the name,” he said with a laugh.
With a meaningful glance at them,
be said, "You must excuse me.”
When he had gone, there was a
moment's awkward pause. Before
the conventional greetings were
over, Carol launched into an ex
cited account of her good fortune.
Ronnie was singularly unmoved by
her good fortune, evidently troub
led by something.
“You're not including me in this,
arc you?” he asked.
“Why, of course, darling!”
"But I have to be at the office
Monday to take over my new Job.”
Then Carol understood that Ron
nie was hurt that all his efforts
■earned to him to have dwindled
to nothing beside her crazy stroke
•f fortune. She could not keep the
Irritation from edging into her
voice and very soon they were quar
reling openly. Ronnie was deter
mined not to be a rich woman's
husband, was Intent on staying with
his job. She was exasperated at his
adamant attitude.
"The money has gone to year
head.” be shouted.
"Oh, stop it Ronnie!” she an
swered. "You’ve spoiled everything.
"I hope you don’t mind if I make
a note of it,” he said. “I make a com
plete record of everything I do in
this book.”
“What are you putting down
now?”
"Dinner with Miss Carol Howard
tonight,” he said as he wrote.
“But really,” she protested, “I'm
leaving for Paris the first thing in
the morning.”
“Of course,” he apologized. “You’ll
be dinning with your fiance.”
Even after he had gone, Carol
could not get his eyes out of her
mind. It was with a sense of pleas
ant surprise, then, that she glanced
up from the gangplank of the chan
nel steamer the following morning
to see him tipping his hat to her
from the deck. Kate was curious
about Lovell’s being on the boat,
inclined to read something into it.
But Carol dismissed it as a simple
coincidence.
On the crossing, Lovell cleverly
engineered Kate out of the way
and became most persistent in hts
attentions to Carol. She liked hlae
for his sauvlty, his gentle manners
and his knowledge of the world.
And she was, more than all, flat
tered by his attentions. So, when
he asked for the privilege of slew
ing her Paris, his Paris, she readVy
consented.
Even Kate became sharply awara
of the attractiveness of this strange
man, when they started out un
their gay tour of the cabaret life
of Paris. He was their constant
companion. On their second eve
ning in Paris together, Caro) turn
ed gleefully to Kate and asked her,
“Do you like him?**
"I'm just crazy about him," Kate
spoke with enthusiasm. "D*you
know. I’d better be trotting back
to London before this affair turns
Into a triangle."
They laughed at Kate's quip.
