CLOSES I '?-OPERATION
Raleigh, July 16.? Mrs. Edith Van
derbllt. President of the North Caro
lina Agricultural Society, has Juat
completed a tour of Eastern North.
Carolina ln the interest of the 9Ute
Fair. . She went on the warpath for
the purpose of urging eloaer coopera*
tlon between the county and commu
nity fairs and the State Fair. She
met with a gratifying response from
the large crowds that heard her the
past week.
She spoke at Monroe, Wilmington,
New Bern, Klnston, Ooldsboro and
Wilson, and vlrited several other
points in the State. She made the
trip In approved stump speaking
etyle, traveling by automobile so that
she could make better time.
Her poke bonnet hat caught the
fancy ot her audiences, and many a
Tar Heel farmer Is ready to wager
that she is going to make the Fair
this year the big success that she has
ir. mind. Certainly she wlil If those
who heard her speak can aid her in
realizing her ambition, it Is declared,
for these farmers found that she Is a
real womanly woman without frills
or furbelows.
Mrs. Vandnerbilt in her addresses
explained that the proper function of
a State Fair or any fair for that mat
ter is not the amusement of pleasure
seekers but the development along
proper lines of education in agricul
ture, industry and general knowledge.
She ventured to say that there is
no other State on the Atlantic sea
board that can present so much in the
way ot natural resources as North
Carolina and she ventured further to
predict that a State Fair on a State
wido basis and financially organised
would do more for North Carolina In
At* jretri than a million dollar* sp?nt
In any other war. Even aa It li last
year'* fair brought favorable com
ment* from as far north aa New
Hampshire and aa tar west as Wis
consin.
The logical conclusion of tbe pro
gram of the Agricultural Society, ahe
?aid. Is to build u9 an. Institution that
? ill belong to the State and that will
adequately represent the State.
INSCJLvMCE GBOm*? CHE.U'EB
Not long ago in the United States
Bureau of Labor Statistics reported
that electricity was the only large
Item in the cost of living which had
shown say reduction in cost to the
< onsumer since 1917.
Whether or not this indicates a
tecognltlon of the truth that tlie ex
pense for Are insurance protection re
presents only a small percentage of
the Individual overhead Is not made
Viear. or whether it was merely an
overt- ijtht of the Bureau In overlook
ing this bulkwark of modern society.
It is a matter of record, however,
that between 1912 and 1922. the aver
age rate charged in tbe United Staes
for fire Insurance coverage decllnec.
to the extent of 7 cents for each $100
of Insurance carried.
The astonishing feature of this
situation la the fact that the reduction
took place in the (ace of heavy ad
vances for railroad fares, rents,
wages, advertising aud other neces
sary Expenses.
Irish potatoes from home grown
mountain seed were from 7 to 10 days
earlier than those from Maine and
Canadian seed, and the yield was
equally as good, as shown by reports
from the Tidewater counties.
