IF VICTORY is YOUR GOAL if a victory is your goal On the battlefield of life, Every precious moment dole In training self for the strife. If you fall, do not stay down, Strive to rise and fight again; Perseverance wins the crown When heroic deeds are vain. —Mary Byan Coper. KEETER'S SPEECH We wish to commend Mr. J. u Keeler, former president of the Bus iness Men’s Club for his frank re marks about "those who go out of Town to Buy,” as the Herald has al ways been a great booster for trad ing at Home, with home merchants. We also want to thank him for calling attention to the number or times local merchants are called on to make donations and give prize-., when in lots of cases those asking for the donations are the same ones in front ranks of the army who trade out of town. When support is needed or something to be given, the local merchants are the ones called on, but when cash is to be spent— out-of-town merchants are called on. Mr. lieeter was expressing the opin ions of other Kings Mountain mer chants as they have several times mentioned this to the Editor of the llerald. But we do think Mr. Keeier was wrong in his idea about the Christ mas decorations. This, in our opin ion, is altogether a merchants’ prop osition. They are the ones who di rectly benefit by increased sales through the holiday atmosphere ere ated by the decorations. In othei towns the merchants associations and chambers of commerce defray the costs of the decorations. We feel the Street and Electrical Depart ments of Kings Mountain will co-op erate with the merchants in making this venture successful. We hope, Mr. Keeter, as one of the leading merchants, of the Best Town in the State, will reconsider and make an investment with other) merchants in Christmas decorations, so that Kings Mountain, like other towns, will be beautifully attired for that Glorious Season Christmas. GIVE THANKS Regardless of who you are or what your position or station in life may be, you have something to be thankful for. We remember a sign we read sev eral years ago which read some-! thing like this: “We complained that we had no shoes, Until we met a man who had no feet.’’ So we are positive every person alive on this great day —- Thanks giving — has something to be thank ful for. CONGRATULATIONS To the Men’s Club we say Con gratulations, upon your election of such fine type of men as your lead ers for the coming year. And to those elected we also extend you congratulations for the honor be stowed upon you by your club mem bers, men who know of your fine characters, abilities, and leadership. To both newly elected officers and membi rs of the Men's Club, we say Congratulations.

In yellow color is given to the fat by a pigment called Xan thophyll. This is found just beneath j ; he skin and as the bird lays, this pigment disappears in a fairly regu lar manner which indicates approx iimately the time the bird has been laying. Bleaching of the vent shows i he bird has laved 2 to 3 eggs. Where the earlobes are bleached the bird has been in lay from 2 to three ■.seeks. Bleached beaks mean from 6 to 8 weeks of fairly heavy produc tion and bleached shanks show that; the bird has been laying from four to six months. The pigment returns after the birds go out of lay in the same order. Q. -When should I apply manure to my garden plot? A.—For best results manure should be applied during the fall and winter and either turned under at the fall plowing or disced in dur ing early spring. If applied at all during the spring or summer it should be in a well-rotted condition, (tn average soils the rate of appli cation should be ten two-horse wag on loads to the acre.

Thanksgiving Day By RAYMOND PITCAIRN National Chairman Sentinels of the Republic ——J Again in 1937, as through many years of its history, our Nation celebrates from ocean to ocean, from Lakes to Gulf, the most typical of all American holidays. It is the observance of Thanksgiving ; Day—a celebration first dedicated to j reverend gratitude for bountiful har- ! vests; then later to appreciation of other blessings and promises of the : passing years. Never has America been without cause for such gratitude. For despite frequent problems, America remains, in a turbulent world, a land of faith and of fulfillment. That is true today, as in the past. While other nations follow the hide- i ous chimera of war, America remains j at peace with her neighbors. While other nations sacrifice the happiness of their people to the strut- ; ting show of nationalistic ambitions, i the American people still believe in personal opportunity and freedom. While other nations bow and scrape to tlie pretensions of dictators and their cliques, America is still dedicated to the proposition that all men are equal, and entitled to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. While other peoples suffer and die in the clutch of desperate economic and political experiments, Americans still enjoy the highest standards of life of any nation. There is the glow of promise, too— not only of plentiful harvests, but of rhanging attitudes by our national leaders which presage freer opportunity for production of the many require ments of the American people, and wider reemployment for those on whose enterprise and labor all production de pends, whether at the plow, the lathe or the desk. For these things Americans are grateful. For these they offer thanks to a Providence which blessed their efforts to make the earth yield more generously and to create by their own unfettered energy, the greatest, the freest and most bountiful land on earth. and key, in a special reserve fund which will accumulate interest over | a period of years and enable the j Government ultimately 10 pay the i benefits which the Social Security Act requires, his faith is based upon a m'scosception of facts. The $215,000,000 has all been spent for a variety of purposes: perhaps to help build Grand Coulee Dam. perhaps to finance \VP\ projects in street-paving, perhaps to pay the .lutes of efbeers in the navy—no cue knows precisely, since the dol lars that come into the Treasury :■ ■ not -n earnu vk<!d that they can !•« i ' nCC d win n they p,n out a •t A: f r the re- rvc fund wlilcn to s.;sly tit • money ■ did in hi: it: - vats for 'he pay 's s’ cf ; ■ - , • ; - under the Social ' ■ ;: i consists at pre-sen: meat I.

SHORT FACTS produced 668,821 ounces of silver, as compared to 470,254 ounces the pre ceding year. On the best soil, young Douglas fir trees grow more three feet in height each year.

Copyright 1037 by United Artist* Corp. What Has Gone Before: When Rudolf Rassendyll, Eng lishman, meets Rudolf, King of a Balkan country, on a fishing trig, they discover an amazing resemblance. The Icing is drug ged on the eve of his coronation by agents of his brother, Michael, and the king’3 aide. Zapt, prevails on Rassendyll to impersonate him at the corona tion. Winie Rassenayil races to Strelsau, Michael plans civil dis orders which will enable him to seize the throne. Rupert of Uent :.au, another conspirator, con vinces Antoinette dc Mauban, Michael’s sweetheart, that Mich ael tcants the throne so that he can marry Princess f'lavia, the consort. Antoinette reacts jeal ously to the information. Chapter Four The great cathedral was literally crowded to the rafters with the dignitaries of state and church, the noblemen and noblewomen, the en voys of all nations, awaiting the arrival of the king for the corona tion ceremony. The arrival at the station, the of ficial welcome and the trip to the “Why should we deceive them?" asked Flavia, coolly. This stopped Rassendyll. He de cided to start all over. "You know,” he said, "I think the luckiest man in the world is the king of this country.” “Really," was Fiavia's retort, “you have always seemed to prefer Paris and the Riviera to your own country.” “But now I'm tho crowned and anointed king. New leaf, and ah that. Among other failings, I’ve rather neglected you, haven't I?” Flavia was icy now. “Two picture cards in three years.” That night guests gathered at the palace for the coronation recep tion. Flavia and Rassendyll sat on a couch in the drawing room. The masquerader was nor/ enjoying himself hugely. “Tell me, Rudolf,” she said, “what is the world outside really like? Is it as wicked and exciting as it seems in novels? What did you do on those long trips? I mean, when you weren't drinking?” "I, or I,” Rassendyll stalled, ”1 used to do fishing.” “Fishing!” cried Flavia, "you used to tell me you despised fishing." A knock on the door and Fritz entered, a worried look on his face. He bowed to Rudolf. “His highness. Josef was dead. — the king was gone! cathedral went zit without unto ward incident. As the cardinal placed the crown on Rassendyll’s head, and intoned "God save the king," the phrase was picked up and shouted by the throngs in the cathedral and in the street, to the accompaniment of trumpet blasts and the salute of cannon. After the last of the officiating ecclesiastics and nobles of the realm had paid homage to the newly in vested monarch, Prince66 Flavia advanced to the throne. As she reached the throne, she dropped to one knee, and repeat ed her oath of fealty: “I, Flavia, do become thy vassal, swearing to serve thee in truth, with life and limb, until death findeth me, so help me, God.” Flavia was the loveliest vision Rassendyll had ever seen as she lifted her head and looked into his eyes. "Do I kiss her," Rassendyll whispered to Zapt, who nodded as sent. Rassendyll reached down with both hands, drew her to her feet, and rising himself, kissed her on both cheeks. Michael, half beside himself with rage and chagrin, gazed upon the events like a man in a coma. He knew tile newly crowned king was an imposter, but to make a move now would only expose his own plot against the real king. He kept his peace as Rassendyll and l'!avia left the cathedral arm in arm, entered the royal coach of stage, a huge, lumbering affair, drawn by l i. 'it cream - colored horses, and began the triumphal coronation procession thro a ,h the Btrc --of Strelsau, bowing Dvciuent |y to t re cheeilng onlookers. .Vi ri.e swaying cc tch tumbled through the cobbled e rests of the c' v t ;n, K.v-scadyil ticij a glance !)!■.-> hoc ■sea, 1 F'-'Vln. v>..‘ \vc get on cog' Duke Michael, la waiting to pay his respects, sire.” "Let him wait," said Rassendyll, affecting the petulant arrogant manner and tone of the real king. After a wait just long enough to put him into a smouldering sulk, Michael was admitted. Rassendyll greeted him cordially. “You know, brother,” he told him, “this was a day I've always dread ed. Queer feeling something might go wrong. But with you in charge it was foolish to worry, wasn't it?” “It’s gratifying to find your majesty in such excellent spirits after the strain of the day,” said Michael acidly. "Thank you, Michael, never felt so fit. It’s the excitement, I sup pose, first time I’ve ever been crowned, you know.” And Raesen dyll laughed heartily. After a few moments, Michael excused himself and Rassendyll re turned his attention to Flavia. Saying goodnight to Flavia, and making a rendezvous for the mor row, a rendezvous which Rassen dyll knew could never be kept as his masquerade was over, ho be lieved, he joined Zapt and Fritz. The three left the palace by a secret passageway, mounted wait ing horses and rode for the hunting lodge to rescue the real king and return him to Strelsau and the Princess Flavia. Inky darkness and ominous sil ence hung over the royal hunting lodge as Col. Zapt, Fritz and 11a: sendyll turned their foam-flocked steeds into the courtya: d, after a grueling ride from Streisau. “ICo lights," common cd Zapt, “that's odd.” A door ’“ft ajar i r crccreU the old soldier's anxiety ns hurried into the IcJ front door.
