Some times maybe with'a heart ache
Waiting for the Spring-time to eome.
Watting neoth its snow white shroud
Waiting thu new iffe it would make.
I caressed the rose of the Spirngtime.
Knowing the frosts of Whiter would

And cover the rose with its hoar;
Yet knowing again in the Spring

DO YOUR SHOPPING AT HOME
Kings Mountain timtlies are, thluV
tag about their Chrbitmas shoppng
considering the purchases that musi
be madt' for the holiday.
We "suggest to all buyers that they
give Kings Mountain merchants at
opportunity to supply their wants
The least thai can be expected 1'
that those who live here will inspoclocai
stocks before 'thinking nboui
spending tneir money eisewttere.
fTrading at home Is a form of clvJ
loyalty that pays dividends. It is out
way for every citizen to make a eon
tributlon to the business interest!
that support local Institutions fu'w
give employment to local people. 1
all of us weald resolve to buy a
hme. us far is possible, the resul
would be noticeable.
The hire of buying somcthin)
cheap often fools wise, buyers bit
price Is not the only guide to'Intel
ligent spending. Of course given e
tjual values the buyer is mitumlly go
ing to spend his. 'or her, inone;
where the price is cheaper. That i'
tho rule follpwed by successful met'
chant's in purch-.tsintt the goods the'
sell and there is nothing against i'
Local meieii'tnts are entitled to t
chance to see you what you want a
a price that you can afford. The:
are pot entitled to charge you mori
for the sain.' goods thun reliable me
cbattta elsewhere. We feel sure .tha
our merchants can pieet eompetl
tlon and that th?*r stocks are atnph
to offer you variety In selection.
Buyers should never forget th>
saying that no matter how cheap yot
make aa article there Is alwayi
somebody else who tan make an in
ferior product and sell It for less. It
tact, beware of "just as good" met
, chantlise. It Is economy to buy reco)
s. nized values, that stand up unde
use and rave behind them the ser
vice that none but local merchanti
and sellers can supply.

Hta reason was. "1 do not like th<

I asked' him then if he refuse*
to sell merchandise to the womei
tse did not like, or take money fron
customers who had no use for hint
As matter of fact, the only soum
reason why anyone should' buy ad
vertleing space In any purer is tha
it stimulates sales or builds goo*

Then Kings Mountain .wouid be by

He says it would only be about

J The Way
? To National Recovery
By RAYMOND PITCAIKN
Recent polls among the Americai
people have demonstrated an increasing
? demand for curtailment of reckless exr
penditures of public funds.
This doesn't mean that the peopli
r want to im leas money In circulation
It means. Instead, that they want U
see more money more widely distributee
among all car cltlsens.
For what the people realize Is tha
if the more government disturbs publli
confidence through political cxtrava
gance, the more it discourages enter
1 prise on the part of Its citizens.
And they realize further that ii
p marked contrast to government hand
outs, expenditure by private enterprisi
j Is productive. It creates new goods, nev
, Jobs, new needs?and the means to sup
ply those needs. For
productive enterprise benefits si
" the pssple. rather than a few. By la
creasing employment. It spreads Incomi
1- to everyone, rather than to the bene
t flclariee ?f limited bat powerful pros
I sure group*. It means more homer
larger payrolls, higher standards o
living.
' Our history demonstrates this. Sin?
p America first became a nation Uv
r- greatest factor in her prosperity ha
) been productive enterprise, ..ot publli
spending. It wr.s her ftnm, her fas
tcries, her eommereo. her worhers ne
her political theorists and spenders
that made America groat.
? When the new Congress meets, thi
demand for encouragement rather thai
it curtailment of the productive capadtl*
> of the American people must he one o
L Its first considerations.

"You realty think so. Rick?"
Richard mot tho 8 ah lb On the
Ulnray, and borrowod a fivepound
noto to entertain Leslie. The
old gentleman had been selling
Wombats like mad, and ?H generously
flush. After dinner, Richard
and Leslie went to the Soo.
There, by the penguin pool, Richard
kissed Leslie, after he bad, a*
he said, "skipped all the approach
work." Leslie seemed to like it.
At home, George-Anne and her
parents were playing bridge With
miss fortune, who, with in* Kohtb
shaking out sieevefuls of honor*,
won several rubbers. The gains
over, George-Anne took Ills* Fortune
to her room.
"I'm so afraid; you'll go sway
and make a home of your own,"
the old lady said. "If I know you'd
stay, I'd never be afraid again!"
George-Anne said the C'arletons
undoubtedly would stay. It was tha
Invitation they had been Waiting
for. But what about the will?
George-Anne's work was only half
done.
On his way home from Leslie1*.
Richard ran into Duncan MacCrae.
who remarked he was off to India.
"Why don't you stop In and say
good-bye to George-Anne?" Richard
invited.
"She detest* the sight of me."

saw Richard, assisted by Duncan
and George-Anr.c. With a tolerant
smile, she closed the door.
George-Anne v/^3 not- so tolerant.
After Richard was helped off
with his shoes, she confronted Duncan
in flic hall.
"You did it on purpose!"
"I did not! How could I know one ,
boftle of champagne and a few
small b-andles could make a man
drunk?"
Duncan apologised further. He
said he couldn't live without GeorgeAnne,
although she was "a badtempered,
bad-mannered, outrageous
female." Richard told Mm, ho
said, that she was pining away
for love.
"You got him drunk and made
him say it!" accused George-Anne.
"If you were a man, I'd knock
you down for that!"

Duncan denied thla. "Richard Is

George-Anne suggested that Duncan
go home. Ho told her be might
go farther than that. There was a
chance, he said, that hie regiment
would go to India.
"Chanee or hope?" angrily demanded
George-Anne.
Miss Fortune shook her head as
Duncan departed.
"Young people are so foolish,"
she said. "They don't know love
