COUNTY The Carnation Milk Co. offers r> full time mai'ket for 'whole mil'; to the farmer?, of Cleveland county and-| this is something that shoud r.t- ~Vt not only the farmers but the /bust* , tress men as well. iThfs county .Is a great agricultural county, particularly so in cotton, hut cotton brings in- money only ?nce a year, while dairying furnishes a monthly Income. "Hre psice of whole milk doe? not Juetify a large Investment, but the Carnation Com3>any is so convinced' that the farm will hp ftAtlnflprl fcvith .1 rpnHv market for their surplus milk that it id willing to build a receiving ata tion nit considerable cost. Farmers are only asked to give the plant a trial for sixty days. In that time the plant should prove its usefulness to the community. Under crop control our farmers are raising more feedstuffs than ever before and this enables them to maintain cattleV at a minimum cost. Even the cotton itself has a by-product in the form of seed which make excellent rattle feed. The fer tlllzer fromc attle goes back Into the soil to cut down the commercial fertilizer bill. Cerlainly the farmers should give the milk station a trial. It has the endorsement of the state and county farm officials and local civic clubs who have made thorough Int. vestigations of milk plants at other places where they have been open siting satisfactorily for a number Of years. I What helps the farmers helps business generally and If we can diversify our crops and add to the farm Incomes we already have, land values will be maintained and the standards of living will be raised. Farmers who have received questionnaires! should fill them m at ?nee and return them to the county agent or to the teachers of agriculttrre In the various rural high schools, if they are not properly infnmibfl An n n? nelni en A ail.k VII bii i jn'iiii miu WISH iur | ther Information, these teachers and agents will advise with them. There Is no obligation whatever to give the proposed milk station a Slv'y days trial next spring when the plant will open. That Is fair enough. ?Shelby Star.

Weiher you handle pick or wheel barrow or a set of books, dig ging ditches or editing a newspaper, ringing an auction bell or writing funny things, you must work. Don't be afraid of killing yourself by over working on the tunny side of thirty. Men die sometimes, but It Is because they quM at 9 p. m. and don't go home until 2 a. m. It's the Inter, vals that kill; my son. The work gives you appetite for your meals; it leads solidity to our stugtwr; it gives you a perfect appreciation of i -a holiday. There are vouns men ?ti?

Isn't it?" stammered Robert, acutely embarrassed. "Yen, Isn't it terrible." she responded, really, looking at the paper for the first time. "You know, that's the kind of newspaper work I'd really like to do. I ?> or ? I work for the Globe, you know ? but I don't do this kind of work. But I've studied criminal psychology and I'd be . good at this.. She leaned a little closer and put a sympathetic hand on his shoulder. Robert gulped, and Involuntarily drew back a little. "If you want to do It so badly," said Hilda, "why don't you ask them to let you?" Robert's boyish mouth set with a new, a great resolve. "Doggone It, I think I will! Yes. TO dolt right now!" He reached for the teleShone and called Mr. Wilson of he Globe. "Hello, Mr. Wilson? This is Mr. Randall again!" Robert poured out bis story: be bad been reading about the Gladys Fontaine ease; be eras a keen student of criminal psychology; he was certain that.he could be of great assistance to Deakon Maxwell, the Globe's ace reporter wfao was covering the ^y. there's no queetlon about it," replied Wilson caustically, winking at the covey of reporters who stood about his desk. "After all. Maxwell's only been doing this for thirty or forty years ? he needs somebody like you!" "Oh. thank you. Mr. Wilson!" caroled Robert. "Thank you very much!" And he hung up, while Wilson sat and stared into space for a long time, too dasod to replace the telephone on its hook. .

He said- i. was all right ? they need some body like me! Why, Just imagm r? I'm going to help him!" The most famous reporter in t-. city, accompanied by Ed, his r.i.uiful photographer, cast a final, lingering, regretful look at the glorious array of bottled ambrosia on tne mck ear 01 Veroni j. where the duo had put in an ar-" dent afternoon of cogitation on the Fontaine murdor caee. Then, riving Veroni that familiar graceful wave of the hand that meant "Charge it ? to my friend," he led the way to the precinct etation house for a view of the police lineup. At the station house Robert found them and introduced himself briskly as the young man who had been assigned to help them cover the biggest murder case of the year. It would be a very great pleasure for him to work with them...he was an ardent reader or Mr. Maxwell's journalistic works...and he was looking forward to entering with them into the great fraternity of the knights of the press...and quite a lot more besides. It was a fairly routine lineup, consisting almost entirely of water Iid Deakon with a flourish. trowA bums and alcoholics. The prospects for good copy looked very thin indeed to the alumfaced scribes who sat apathetically watching the proceedings. A little, pale, stooped f o r in mounted the dais. "So, you're heier again. Benny?" said the police captain. "Oh, yes, sir.". "And I suppose you're goln' to tell me that you hilled this girl, too?" "Oh, yes sir, I did...but I didn't mean to.. .honest I didn't. '. .1 meant to kill Ma He was a bad man ? and she was my girl." The assembled detectives and reporters laughed uproariously. "Throw tnla Casanova out He's killing me," said the Captain. 80 Benny wee elected, shrilly protesting that Gladys Fofetaine had keen his girl and that he bad killed her. And the eeremony of the line-' up was over. Outside, While h t s colleagues -from the Globe looked on sourly, Robert listened sympathetically to Benny's story. Then he dipped Into his trouser pocket, hauled out a large-calibre roll of hllla, and peeled off a couple. ' "lfow you take this and get -yourself something to eat!" Deakon's eyes, watching, assumed axothalmlc proportions. He ran, not walked, to the scene, with tho faithful Ed a close runner-up. They assured Robert that they had mud a a terrible mistake; they hadn't realised that he was the Mr. Randall; they apologized for their rude inattentiveness to him, and welcomed him proudly to the glorious fraternity of the Fourth Estate. "Ed. we must talte steps to make amends," raid Deakon with a flourish. "To cement this newformed friendship ? to down tho past ? and drown the future ' And taking him each by one arm affectionately, they propelled him toward Veronl's place.
