LUCK The scientist Who transformed the three leaf clover into a four leaf va riety didn't do it by lack. He did it by work. The man who built the business that pays ns our wages didn't build it by luck. He built it by work. The house you live in wasn't built by luck, but by work. 11 The shoes on our feet, the clothes on our back, the hat on our head. Are they the product of luck. The cereal and coffee on our break fast table, the sugar, the plate and cup and spoon?Did they just happen ; onto our table by accident? Or did someone plan and work to bring them to Our breakfast? Earth, air, fire and water were the i four natural gifts to man. Out of these four elements man has devel oped civilisation. How did man Ac complish this marvelous task? Did he do it by shaking dice, or ? hunting four leaf clovers? Not much? He did It by his own skill and applica tion,?work. All human progress is the result i of the inborn spirit of man to apply i his head and hands to improving his own condition. The secret of success is WORK.? American Educational Association. ' ; ' . f CAPITAL NOTES LAW OF I SUPPLY AND DEMAND Washington, Aug. 10 (Capital News Service).?Economists and statisti cians in the Nation's Capital ars point ing out an odd example of the work ing of the law of supply and demand. So vast are the forces involved in the operation of the law that it is not usually easy to see them except in the perspective of much elapaed time. But the result of the strikes has con tracted this period so that the entire operation can be seen in a single ex ample. Lack of coal in this country has caused a sudden demand upon Brit ish coal mines, which in turn caused a sudden rush for ships to carry the coal to the United' States. The im mediate result has been an increase in ocean freight rates from England to the United States amounting to a hundred and ftfty per cent, or from seven to seventeen shillings a ton. A ship's journey is there and back. The usual amount of freight space available for the return journey has caused a great drop in freight rates for the transportation of grain from the United States to Europe which has been aided by the inability of Ameri can railroade to promise grain deliver ies at shipping ports, due of course to the railroad strike. In England, jdueh coal, a demand from America, and insufficient ships send freight rates up. In America, too many ships and a scarcity of cargoes send freight rates down from 14 cents a hundred pounds to 11 1-2, with the prospect of going to 10 cents, which figure is much below pre-war mini mum. n FAIR IN AHOSKIE, N. C. 1 LOOKS PROMISING | The Atlantic District Fair Asso- 1 ciation will hold its second annual fair ? October 24-27th. It is time for the ? officers and members of the associa tion to make this fair second to none in the state. Realising what this means, the officers of the aMociation are putting forth their best and fore most efforts to make this desired ac complishment a reality. Considering the shortness of our existence and experience in the fair world, our fair of last year compared favorably with any in the state. In fact, in some respects, it was in a class by ityelf. As this is a district fair consisting of six counties, we are de pending this year as never before on the concentrated support of each and every county. As an appreciation ef the counties' support, separate space will be allotted to each county in the exhibit building. Medals will be given to the county holding the highest num ber of first prises. The secretary is making encourag ing reports to the executive board rel ative to the work being done by the committee of each county. This in it self is a concrete evidence of the new life, vigor and interest of our people and demonstrates as never before the usefulness of the fair as an institu tion of general uplift. Our midway promises to be preg nant with first class amusements. Al ready, several high class attractions have been secured while negotiations are being made for carnivals and other attractive shows. The associa tion will offer larger prizes than ever before which naturally guarantees good racers. Everything points to a greater fair year than ever before. Begin now to prepare your exhibits. Anything that shows brain, skill, art, or science is wanted in our exhibit building. Premiums for superiority are offered for the same. It is the earnest desire of the entire associa tion to have his or her talent on ex hibition at the fair. This is our mot to, why let it be yours? Make the Atlantic District Fair second to none in the state. w r mnrnia I W. D. BROWN, Secretary. North Carolina, la tho Superior Hertford County. COURT NOTICE TO CREDITORS. G. C. Picot and S. P.
