Major, wuie s report 101- lows: To the Executive Committee of the Fifth Annual Corn snow, amDracing Livestock conference and Poultry Exhibit. "If is the verdict of the people upon w hand fhat the 1917 show was a access. It was advertised as a district Fair and a ten-county event. It served the purpose of stimulating the people jf the ten counties participating a spir t. of co-operation and unity of enter prise that T have never before seen dis alayed in this section. "It is worthy of record 1 hat the visi tors to bur fair were loud in their praises of the exhibits and the general scheme and conduct of the fair. Many took "occasion to say that it was a bet ter fair than they had seen at other places. I was told personally that Jt surpassed the Autumn Fairs at Ontario, :an.. Richmond. Va.,' and Atlanta, Ga, was told that it was far ahead of the ilaleigh State Fair this year in many respects and of other fairs throughout .his section. 'm the brief space of time I had at my disposal, I worked very " hard to make this year's event a success. cat erer measure of a- success we, have- atr ;ained is due largely to consistent nterest and splendid support and co iperation of the members of the execu tive committee. I congratulate you upon what has been done for this sec tion of North Carolina and I am- glad to have been an Instrument In your hands in furtherance of the develop nent of agricultural and kindred in iastries hereabouts. ' Railroads Couldn't rtelp. "The difficulties this year haves, been ttceedinffly great. , When I accepted the chairmanship of your organization I had every reason to believe that the TiHroads this year would lend their full w-operation as usual. It developed !iat on account of the war they could PTe no reduced rates, operate ho spe tial trains and could not even bring tae trains in 'operation into "Wilming ton on schedule time. To. offset . this iraback.- the idea of off erincr automo bile prizes to induce people to come to the fair by automobile was conceived. This broue-ht erood results hut not near ly so eood as might have been expected ia the matter been advertised for a n?rer period. In addition the roads throughout this section, on account of tae storm in .the late summer, were ex ceedingly bad. so that automobile trav- as materially limited.

Hii-ji nave Deen nut iortn A resolution directing' the secretary t write the board, of county, commis sioners requesting tem to consider the mattery of improving Carolina Beach boulevard, ? was the most important matter taken.up at thf regular monthly meeting of thje board of education yes terday afternoon. ' . v E. T. Burton, Esq., county solicitor, appeared before the board and urgently requested that some action be taken In regard to this stretch of road. Mr. Rnr- ton made it plain that he did not know whether he was. addressing the proper Doay tor this purpose .but was sure that the public deserved that the road be put "in better condition. The members of the board felt they had no authority, to take any action in the affair, but, were firm xn their 'belief that something be done for'the benefit of the children who traverse this road. On-the request of Prof. D. C. Virgo, principal of the ' Williston Industrial School, $25 was donated to aid In de fraying the expenses of the colored fair. The resignation of Mr. D. L. Gore, from the hoard of trustees of the Wil liston school, was accepted with regret, and the appointment of his successor left open. :-.- Mr. Fv M. McGowan tendered his resignation as a member of the school committee" from Wrightsboro, and Mr. Oscar. Hinton wes selected to fill the vacancy. . . Mr. Charles B. Xewcome was dele-r gated to attend the state educational meeting in Charlotte November 28-30, as the representative of the local board. A letter was read from the teachers of the Peabody school, thanking the board for granting them an increase In salary. Through Mr. Blair, a similar expression was received verbally from the white teachers of the. city. F. M..Hollis, colored, asked permis sion of the board to .buy an ,-unusedJ school house near Masonboro, for use as a church. . The offer to sell was de clined, but permission was granted to the colored.people to use it as a church. Supt. John J, Blair, of the city schools. and Supt. Washington Catlett, of the county schools, submitted their first reports" of tahe year. ' The board's finances were audited.. . LIBERAL RESPONSE IS MADE Five Districts In County Report Fine Showing For Army Y. M. C. A. . "Work Othe'a to Hear From. .With only five out of sixteen., dis?- tricts reporting the 5 rural section of New Hanover county is credited in the Y; M.;C A. campaign with a total of $598 today. . This is a remarkable showing, since eleven districts are yet to make their first reports. Just what will be shown; when the eleven dis tricts are reported is hard to estimate, are optimistic and are : strong in the belief .that the people of the county will roll up a big sum for the Y. M. C. A. war work. It is reported at Y. M. C. A. Head quarters that the farmers, farmers wives, the-boys and girls have entered into the campaign with a zeal and de termination to make a record in the various school .districts. Great rival ry ' is expected to exist between the various school districts and it will be a fight to the finish to see which one contributes the largest sum to this im portant,, war work. Reports. for yesterday was as lows: - - Winter Park ......... East Wilmington Masonboro With $6,300 secured for the first two days' canvassi In Wilmington, thi city, was well in line with -the -total secur ed, throughout the country for army Y. M. C. A. fund on the first lap, of the campaign, which amounted to over 11 million, dollars.- There will be no let up by the local .committee in charge of thedrive as they are. determined to continue work - until the city's' quota of $15,000 is raised. . Wilmington must and will do her part, - the committee declares, and while the results of the campaign so far j.has not .been what they wished, they, are far from being discouraged. Many .of those who have . given . money or made pledges are asked to increase their amounts, as it is believed they have not appreciated the importance of giving freely. - - Meet . Today At 1 If oon. The captains of . all the teams will meet today at noon at the association building for. -an., important conference. and air are urged to attend. , Plans for c&ntinuing the campaign will be discussed. M Hundreds of1, subscriptions "And do nations were secured yesterday as a resut of the tireless activity of the workers, who were on the ,,go from early morn until late at night. While they had hoped to secure the allot ment for Wilmington by ' night, they are willing to continue their canvass and will today make another drive for money. v . Confusion has been caused by the designation of the purpose of the money as being for war relief work. rne money subscribed last summer was for war relief for the Y. M. C. A"., the Red' Cross and. other organizations. but only $5,000 of the $40,000, contrl buted by Wilmington, went to the Y. M. C. A. The remainder went to oth er forms of war relief work. The money-, secured In the present cam paign ;will gd; to the Y. M. C. A. BOy Do Good 'Work. . Of the $6,300 subscribed to date, $1. 000 was pledged by the boys of the city.. One hundred boys have each promised to earn $10 for the fund. The team standing for the boys' division follows; High school, $240; Y. M. C. A., $220; grammar school. $200; Boy Scouts. $150; Business Boys. $140. The youngsters will make a drive on the railroad' offices today. They will meet at ' 5 o'clock at the association' build ing for an address by Mr. Roger Moore. . Stirring appeals for the army Y. M. C. A. fund were made last night by four minute speakers. Lieut. Wilbur Dosher spoke at the Royal; W. P. Mangum Turner, Esq., " at the Grand, and H. E. Rodgers, Esq., at the Bijou. Tonight at S o'clock addresses will be made in. -behalf of the campaign by Louis Goodman, Esq., at the Royal; Dr. Edward Jenner Wood at the Gran t, and Mr. J. C.

This meeting will take on - the nature of booster and 'g'et-tog'ether meeting. Luncheon will be served. , Formal invitation has been received by the members of the North Carolina Landowners association ."-from 'Mr. Clement S. Uckert vice-president of the Southern Settlement Development Or ganization, with general offices at. Bal timore, i to attend -a meeting of the principal owners of cut oyer, unused and idle lands, located fn the coastal plain area of -the south Atlantic and gulf states, to be held at Savannah, in .the Savannah hotel, at 10 a. m., Monday. November 19. . Invitations have been issued to the members of the " Florida 'Landowners association, to the. members of the Georgia .Landowners association, and to the membership of the Southern Land bureau, located at New Orleans, and which embraces cut-over lands in eastern Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama. The principal owners of such lands in - the-eastern - Garolinas are urged to attend this meeting. The primary purpose of the meeting, as stated in the call, is to consider some of the problems connected with an effort to bring these vast areas of tnd into a present day profitable and' . beneficial use. particularly, with respect to the livestock industry. As is pointed out, the problem is practically the same in the eastern Carolines, as in southern Alabama. or southern Mississippi. These lands should be employed today for the purpose to which' they are best suited, It is declared, until a sufficient number of settlers can be secured to transform them into individual farm ing operations. ' It is further pointed put that they could be and should be raising herds of bee.f and dairy cat tle, .hogs and sheep, and thereby in creasing the supply of meat,, (leather and wool in this critical period of the world's history. Four Tilings To Do. And itis further pointed out that t be -four principal steps that are es sential to a permanent" and prosper ous livestock industry -are . to' elimi nate disease-Miog cholera and the tick; introduce permanent pasturage and adequate forage; Improve the breed and to change the psychology of the - people themselves, getting them to think in terms of, steers instead of bales of cotton. !- 4. Further, it is argued that the pub lic domain of the. United States is prac tically exhausted;- thatfree home steads are largely, a matter of the past, and that the last great remaining area of low price lands In the .United States are the - million's .of acres of cut-ovef land , in the south Atlantic and gulf coastal plain area, and that some con certed, effort should be made to make these lands available in proper 'units, and on the uniform basis of-financing for settlement, especially at the con-. elusion of the present world war. This can. only , be done by united effort by co-ordinated, well developed, well " de fined pans, in which the interest of the government, the states, the trans portation lines, the financial institu tions and the landowners themselves must join. ' ' ; Discuss 'Settlement After War. . . Mr. Ucker has an" idea- that the characteristic "back to- the land" movement of soidierss-after the war will offer the southeast 'a" wonderful opportunity. "Where will the soldiers go when the armies are demobilized at the -close of the war?" he asks. "What will the nation do.-to assist its heroes of foreign battle fields to eturn to peaceful occupations under conditions favorable alike to them ' and to the body politic?" t -; "If the history of all great" wars,' in cluding the war between the ' states, repeats itself, a large number of the returning soldiers regardless of pre vious occupation, will go to the land; and, the coastal plain section of the south, with .Its millions, of acres, bf Idle agricultural lands, offers "the "one big. opportunity for the soldier's home stead; the one big opportunity for Hhe south to develop itself ; and,: in . that development.- to. perform a' great na tional . service" says Mr. Ucker, " . (" "It is a" matter of common"r'kn6wt edge," he says, "that at : the close ; of the war between he" states, 'thousands of the soldiers on "both ' sides, accus tomed to the out-door life of the army, losing place in their previous : employ ment, sought homesteads AOn the' free public domain in Kansas. . Nebraska, Iowa, the- Da'kotas and other", western states." ' - ": - .V' England Preparlnsr .For It". "That England is ""anticipating-;:a similar movement of her . soldiers at the close of the war is -shown, by the fact," says Mr. Ucker, "that Sir, Rider Haggard was appointed at the 'out break of the Warvby that' government to make an intensive study of agricul tural , conditions fn all parts .'of'- the British . empire with ; the : view . to pro virftnc roa rlr-mnde homesteads for t her soldiers after . 'demobilization -of - her army."'. ' '. "The; coastal plain section of1' the south, comprising practically ,75,000,000 acres of cut-oVer lands -;. suitable' "for agriculture, constitutes - the, only, re- : mainln g area - of ; cheap land r in.' the United States adapted! to tne,;coloniza-' tion of-American soldiers, atfthevjclbse' of the war," 'says Mf . , Ucker. ' and. he emphasizes the, .tmpqr.tanceof Immedi ate action 'if the south is to rise fto its opportunity and its national- duty and .utilize its unoccupied; lnis .for: the' benefit o .fthe discharged 'sol,dier4 'who. otherwise may' go to foreign"-couritrijSS: whose governments, like England.', shall -have had the forethoughtvto pre pare against, the day,- whether.' tht day- shall be measured 'by "years'' or months,, or weeks; 'hep yfe g.rfnes. shall finally- be emobUzedL,and t.hel soldiers 'return', to peacefurpursiiits.""

' "I r fully appreciate, the-, difficulty ' in the1 way ;of ' providing' homesteads i?ji the south:.that "will attract as "did .the free public homesteads of the west' 4ft er r1865," says' Mr.' Ucker. "The; land here is in private . ownership, in- some cases the' boundaries are not clearly deniarked; and at the ; present time there I s lack of . classification arid ' lack of stabilization, in price". But it' 'is .cheap; and;..?in th" case jof Georgia, where the Tprrens Mand- title ' Jaw has been recently- enacted, titles 'ca.h ea's-. ily be perfected.- ; vThe..;, " government's guarantee was .behind 'thehoinjeatekd on the public ddmairi; "the 'purchaser knew he- would get good title arid the these .were ' the chief The Safesti Place 1 For your Liberty Bond or for other valuable papers is a Safe Deposit Box in' our modern Steel Lined Burglar Proof Vault.

The chief problem in adapting the cheap lands of the south to the homestead idea is that of stabil izing prices; guaranteeing quality by proper classification; providing a plan for long ' time payments, and the working out of an economic, farm unit, of 160 acres, more or less, according to the needs and resources of the pur All these questions, it is Mr- Ucker'e belief, can be worked out by a proper getting together of bankers, land' own ers, state immigration , bureaus, and the federal government, so 'that all the transactions relative to the home stead shall have; a sufficient amount: of Ldisinterested government ana state supervision to guarantee tneir integ rity. The subject is to be thoroughly discussed in the meeting at Savan nah. - '"'"'. - ' '" . FILES VOLUNTARY PETITION. Asks Mr. Robert T. Gnltley, of Parkton to Be Declared a Bankrupt. Mr. Robert T.
