The State Farmers' Convention opened at the A. & M. college this morning with quite a good attendance for the first day and farmers and their wives and daughters continue to come in on every train with indications that there will be one of the very best records lor attendance in the history of the organization . The farmers were welcomed by President D. H. Hill, of the college, numbers of the farmers in addition to President B. F. Shelton, of Speed, ex pressing their appreciation for tho privilege of coming to the state capi tal and the college for such a confer ence of farmers on practical every day subjects of agriculture. There was a practical address by Dr. Francis E. 'Harrington, of the United States public health ser vice on the conditions as to health Uiat exist in the rural life of the state, including especially the present state of lack of sanitation and general lielath precautions. This was followed by a talk by Dr. W. S. Rankin, of the state board of health, on methods o remedying the conditions pictured and what is being done now in this direction. ' He enumerated the prac lical methods that are being applied by the state board of health in its campaigns, which must be largely through a campaign for education. There was a helpful and illuminat ing address on the medical inspection of school children as leading toward the general improvement Of health conditions in the rural as well as the city schools. This was by Dr. G. M Cooper, chief of tho United States Bureau of Sanitation. President B. F. Shelton, of Speed, delivered his annual address, which he made intensely interesting by paying special attention to the method by which he has scored such a signal success in developing the plantation he now operates so successfully al Speed .from the poorest farm in the county to the really most model and fertile anywhere around. At the con elusion of his address President Shelton was called upon to answer many questions that indicated that his story of farm development had made a lasting impression. This afternoon the convention di vided into three sections. One, with Agronomist C. R. Hudson in charge, heard an address on the preparation of land for seeding, by F. T. Meacham of Statcsville; one by 13. F. Everett, of Palmyra, on small grains to be grown in the coastal plain section of the state; another on grass mixtures for different soils, by C. B. Williams, of the experiment station. There was a most interested discussion of these subjects, led by J. M. Hendrix, oi Cana; G. T. Richardson, New Bern; R. W. Scott, Haw River, and E. D. Weaver, of Weaverville. There was another conference sec tion on livestock, conducted by Prof. Dan T. Gary, in which A. U.

Ethel Kaufman in William Fox Pic -1 ture, Wormwood. The delicate, flower like character of Miss Kauffmah's beauty and her dainty, girlish charm combine to ren der her, probablytlic only actress so perfectly endowed by nature to de pict the unfortunate little heroine of the Corelli books; whose life ends in' the night-shrouded Seine. Miss Kauff man comes of a theatrical family and was born in Germany. She played many important child parts in the kaiser's realm and achieved quite a little fame as a juvenile actress. When her family came to this coun try, Miss Kauffman deserted the stage-and devoted herself to educat ing her voice and to acquiring perfec tion in her profession. She has play ed in several companies headed by well-known stars, but it was in the motion picture field, which she only recently entered, that this newest and daintiest of screen stars was des tined to attain the summit of her ambition. Women Smoking. Are you expecting to marry a young lady of fashion, and do you object to women smoking? If so, H would be well to pop a question with reference to the young lady's use or cigarettes before popping the usual question. Otherwise there may be bad disputes in the future house hold, and, if you are- sufficiently illog ical to indulge in the weed yourself, you may .find it necessary to forsake the habit in order to produce a sim ilar reform on the part of youi better' half. For, if constant rumors from relia ble sources are to be accepted, it is becoming the general custom for so ciety women in Baltimore to smoke. Of course there have probauly been isolated cases of women smokers ever since Sir Walter Raleigh receiv ed that douche of water from his hor rified valet. Then ir or 20 years ago single women above the 30-year mark who wished to assume an attitude ol worldly wisdom began to partake of cigarettes and highballs instead of the rather domestic tea and plum cake. And now, rumor has it, the debutante of a year ago has begun to add her own share of Egyptian or Turkish aroma to the atmosphere of the dressing room. The younger mar ried women, too, have succumber to the charm of. tobacco and frequently join their husbands with a cigarette after dinner. And, bo it is said, the young husbands are not at all opposed to it. "I think it may bo said that smok ing has become the rule with the so ciety girls of Baltimore; those who don't smoke are exceptions," said a debutante of a winter or two ago who had just refused a proffered cigarette. "At a reception not so long ago, re freshments were served at little ta bles and at every single one of them girls were smoking with the men. And I ho habit is rather general in the wo men's dressing rooms at dances and clubs." So far apparently the young ladies have conlinod themselves to smok ing in private and have contented themselves with cigarettes not the ordinary domestic variety, but those Turkish and Egyptian brands witn ,'old tips which come in brilliant scarlet and vivid purple boxes. One young woman, however, seems to be on the verge of setting a new style. Talking to a friend the other Jay she remarked with a smile: "Uncle Dick has offered me a $10 gold piece if 1 can smoke a whols cigar. . Do you think it will make me 11?" Baltimore Sun.

' Now York, Aug. 21. $;!0,000 is what it cpst an owner because he had su preme confidence in his race horse. Eddie McBride is the owner and two year old George Smith is the horse that figures in this story. George Smith went to the Saratoga (N. Y.) track with an unbeaten re cord. There was much speculation as to the value of the horse. Finally McBride put a valuation of $30,000 on him. John Sanford, the millionaire, who has a string of speedy horses, be came interested in the Oeorge Smith horse and looked hm over, the day before George Smith was to run his first Saratoga race the Sanford me morial stake. ' "You want $30,000 for him now, but how much will you want if he win, tomorrow's race?" asked Ban ford. "He's yours for $30,000 now or af ter the race," said McBride. Sanford hesitated for a moment, and McBride taking the hesitancy to mean that Sanford wasn't sure about the qualities of the horse, burst out with: "I believe you're skeptical and other are skeptical about George Smith. He's run on ail kinds of tracks, against all kinds of horses and under all kinds of weather conditions. And he's never been beaten. That ought to be proof that he's a real race horse, but I'll go farther. I ll run h'm tomorrow and I'll beat the field with him." "Oh, that's not necessary. I like that horse and I'll buy him right now Make out the bill of sale and I'lj make out the check." And right there is where McBride made his $30,000 error. Instead ol accepting the propostion he answer ed: "Let's put the sale through tomor row night. I want to run Geoigt Smith under my colors tomorrow for the last time. I want to run him against this classy field and demon strate to all that he's the greatest two year old in the world. And if he doesn't win you don't have to buy.'.' George Smith ran that race. He was a favorite in tho betting. And George Smith, the hitherto unheal on finished a miserable sixth finished behnd a lot of horses of the selling platter variety in comparison. Oh yes, the $30,000 sale is off. INDIANS HAVE JINX CHASER. The improved showing of the In dians is due largely to the fact tha. they are now equipped with one ot the best little jinx chasers in base ball in the person of a youth named. South worth, au outfielder and pincl, hitter, recently secured rrom the bushes. Couthworth performs more jinx chasing tactics than any player since the days of Josh Devore. He's a:- superstitious as George Stallings and he never misses a chance to jiux the opposition. Whenever he goes to bat he spits on his bat. He claims that will bring a hit. If he's on the coaching Hues and a batter steps up to the plate in h pinch, (Southworth rushes to the plat" takes the bat out of the batter's bands, spits on it, makes a few mys tic signs over it and then hands it back. Southworth believes that crossed fingers on. his part will cause the opposition pitcher to issue a base on balls. If Southworth stands on one loot, after one of his teammates gets on the bases, that man will score pro vided Southworth can stand on that foot long enough. The kid may never develop into a Ty Cobb, but the fans consider him worth the pi ice of admission as a side issue of the straight nway baseball. And furthermore, the New York fans who saw him in action here were delighted with his "pep" and his en thusiasm and they're hoping they'll see a lot more of him.
