The receipts to go to the Fair. The other articles will belong to the owners. By adopting this rule, it helps the smr.ll girl or club to compete for the premiums against the larger club or girls who have better oppor tunities to get up the display. The proposition is simply how much ' can I put in for the premium offered?" If, however, any exhibitor had rather have his exhibit than the premium offered, he can do so. Remember that this year the Fair opens on July 23rd. This is "House keeper's" day and interesting ad dresses will be delivered on subjects of much interest to housekeepers and young girls on the art of canning, preserving, etc. Also bear in mind that your exhibit is to be placed on or before July 23rd. Premiums offered above are by the Fair. Usually there are private or individual premiums offered. We are not prepared to offer any before this goes to press. There are no premiums offered for anything not mentioned above. If however any one wishes to exhibit poultry, live stock, or anything from the farm, he can do so at his own risk. On "Wyatt" Day, July 24th, one of the State's most gifted and noted speakers, Hon. James H. Pou, will deliver a Patriotic address on the War Situation. The largest crowd ever seen in Johnston County will be in Selma on that day. The Mayor and the Committee want every one connected with the town and with the Fair to be as free from labor as possible, that they may enter into the enjoyments of the day. Everybody bring dinners. An ample supply of ice water will be arranged convenient ly for all. Respectfully, JNO. A. MITCHENER, Chm., J. P. TEMPLE.

Range: Breeds in southern Canada, southern Alaska, and the higher moun tains of the western United States; winters in much of the United States and south to Guatemala. Habits and economic status: In habits and haunts this tiny sprite re sembles a chickadee. It Is an active, nervous little creature, flitting hither and yon In Bearch of food, and in spring stopping only long enough to utter Its beautiful song, surprisingly loud for the size of the musician. Three-fourths of its food consists of wasps, bugs, and flies. Ileetles arc the only other Item of Importance (12 per cent). The bugs eaten by the kinglet are mostly Bmall, but, happily, they are the most harmful kinds. Tree hoopers, leafhoppers, and jumping plant lice are pests and often do great harm to trees and smaller plants, wh'le plant lice and scale Insects are tho worst scourges of the fruit grower ? In fact, the prevalence of the latter has almost risen to the magnitude of a national peril. It is these small and seemingly Insignificant birds that most successfully attack and hold in check these lusldious foes of horticulture. The vegetable food consists of seeds of poison ivy, or poison oak. a few weed seeds, and a few small fruits, mostly elderberries. What Becomes of the Goats. The reported coat shortage in the United States may bo due to anything from Hritlsh interference with neutral trade to the fact that neighbors with autcB honk loudly before the houses when returning home at midnight. What becomes of gotten goats is an other of thoBo questions like that con cerning the whereabouts of lights that go out. ? Springfield Kcpubllcau. BENTONSVILLE MOWS.

Needham I. Parrish departed this life June 12, 1K17. He contracted pneumonia and only lived twelve days. All that loving friends and kind physician could do could not stay the icy hand of death. He leaves to mourn their loss a devoted wife and four small children, father and sev eral brothers, sisters and a host of friends. His funeral was conducted by his pastor, Rev. J. M. Duncan, at Farrish Memorial church. Interment was made in the family burying grounds at the church, by the Woodmen of the World, of which he was a mem ber. Weep not, father, wife, and friends, for your loss is his pain, but try to live so you can meet him in that bet ter world above for he pave pood evidence of his eternal happiness be fore he died.

Over 3, .">00. 000 Motor Car* In United States. In the Year 1916 the S??\< r al State* Collected More Than 8ti.">,000 In License Fees. In 1910 there were 1,007,332 more motor cars registered in the United States than in 1915. This was an in crease of 43 per cent. The gross to tal of rt mistered cars, including com mercial earn, was 3,512,91X5; the num ber of motor cycles registered was 2*0,820. The several Stat< s collected n registration ".nd license fees, in cluding those of chauffeurs and oper ators, a total yro > revenue of $2",, 8f, 5,369.75. Of this amount 92 per cent, or $23,910,811, wus applied di rectly to construction, improvement or maintenance of the public roads in 43 Stat' s, according to figures compil ed by the Office of Public Koads of the United States Department of Ag riculture. The figures for 1910 correspond very closely with the annual percent age increase of motor car registra tion of the last three years. This yearly increase has averaged 40 p< r cent in the number of cars and 50 per cent in revenues. When vi wed over a period of years, tiie increase in motor car reg istration and gross revenue !ias been remarkable. In 1900 the tots>.l State registrations were approximately -48, 000 cars, on account of which the several States collected in fees and li censer, a total gross revenue of about $190,000. Only a small part of this was applied to road work. In 1910 the $25, 8(55, f>09. 75 collected formed near ly 9 per cent of the total rural road and bridge revenues of the States. ?
