While the whole United States was filled with the tidingrs of the achieve ment on Pine Needles golf course of the two skillful young women, Misses Glenna Collett and Miss Virginia Van Wie, who played such a fasci nating game into the twenty-second hole Saturday afternoon before a de cision was reached, local observers were none the less interested in the local aspect of the situation. That Pine Needles tournament, the first of its kind, had been talked about, and Mr. Everett Had Been In Fail ing Health for Past Three Years Editor Vass Pilot, “ Vass, N. C.

The white high schools of Moore county have been invited to partici pate in the Fifth National and Third International Oratorical Contest made possible by the co-operation of fifty- three newspapers in the United States. The North Carolina phase of the con test, sponsored by The News and Ob server of Raleigh, contemplates the widest possible participation by the various schools in county-wide elimi nation contests, district contests in twelve districts which, largely, will follow the lines of Congressional dis tricts, and finally a State contest in Raleigh. The subject for the contest is the constitution and contestants are lim ited to ten minute original orations which must be confined in subject matter to one of two subjects: The Development of the Constitu tion. The Present significance of the Constitution. County superintendents and prin cipals of high schools all over the State have been asked to co-operate in making the contest a success. Although this is the first time that North Carolina high schools have been j)ermitted to enter the national and international contest, a signal recog nition has been given the State in that the headquarters of the Southern Zone, in the National Contest, has been established at Raleigh and here the State winners from North Caro lina, Virginia, West Virginia, tucky, Georgia, Florida and Alabama will meet in a Zone contest to select (Please turn to page 2) Farmers Study International Harvester Machinery at , « .

The affair was in charge of H. L. Hotrick, of Lex ington, a representative of the In ternational company, who looked af ter the picture show which carried on for several hours, and who talk ed about the nature, the whime, the construction, the operation and every thing else abobut tractors and farm machinery in a most interesting way. The ghow commenced at 10:00 o’clock in the morning, and after an inter ruption for the dinner was resumed afternoon, and continued until well along toward evening. The visiting farmers stayed until the close of the meeting, for the affair was a novelty. Machines were shown in all condi tions of pulling down and putting to gether, in working shape, in repair, in handling when trouble comes, and those who were present say they found out more about tractors and farm machinery than a year's ex perience working alone wouBd afford. It is not often as interested a crowd of enthusiastic farmers get to gether, nor that they take such an interest in studying the machinery that was shown them. The picture above shows a bunch thfe step leading into the furniture de partment of the wareho<use where the photographer snapped them as most of them were ou the way down.
