I MAY 21, 1936 TODAY a "J par? R'rr^&L/^ nr goot?aiPOEfe4>^p,^ffi>. FAIRS ideas1 New York is all set now to holdj the largest World's Fair ever staged i In 1939. It wil! be the first truly in-! ternational exposition to toe held in! America since the Panama-Pacific Exposition in San Francisco in 1915. "file first World's Fair was the Crystal Palace Exposition in London in 1651. Prince Albert, Queen Victoria's husband, inspired It. He thought that British industrials and businessmen were behind those of the Continent in many ways. Bringing industri8l and commercial exhibits to London might stimulate British industry, he thought. The results o roved that he was right. Britain's great industrial and artistic development really began with that World's Fair of 1851. The real purpose of a genuine World's Fair is to stimulate the interchange among nations not only of goods but of ideas. *?* PROFITS . . . sometimes aim The motive behind many expositions which call themselves World's Fairs is that of putting on a big show to dfraw large numbers of visitors to a town or region, so that local business interests can make a profit by Belling them food anu lodging, gasoline and souvenirs. Staging a fair Is a good way to bring money Into a town. Chicago's Century of Progress "?xWWWtfVWWWAV.?.WWW.t l LILLIAN MAE 5 | BEAUTY SHOP J J Located over Postofflce on [ BOONE. N. C.

X was a small boy when my u father took me to the Philadelphia 0 Centennial of 1876. I still remember " vividly some of the exhibits which *' started my childish mind to try to c figure out the whys and wherefores of various human activities. a I got a lot out of the Chicago- 0 Columbian Exposition of 1898, the I P i'an-American at Buffalo in 1901, the St. Louis World's Fair of 1904 v and various smaller expositions that v I have vi3ited. t TED! irch logs 38 inches long, 10 inches it full 38 Inches long.

Wool prices will probably start off t 30c per pound or better this year, j he better price being offered for j ool will be a temptation to a large umber of farmers to sell their wool s it is sheared instead of waiting >r the Pooled Wool to be sold. With W. W. Mast and W. R. Biiligs, and J. L. Fox on our Wool comlittee this year, it seems that these icn should be able to sell the twen-1 .* or thirty thousand pounds of wool i hich will be sold through the pool L a hotter price than individual irmers will be able to get for their imperatively small lots of wool. Every farmer should hold his wool ir the pool or until the pooled wool, sold in order that he may get the ice which his wool is worth. L?a3t year, eighty-three farmers lipped 8S4 lambs through the lamb iol direct to market, without havg to pay anyone handling charges 1 their lambs. These farmers made l average saving of $5.00 or more ich, by soiling their Iambs through le pool. So far as I know, every irnier who shipped his lambs thru' ic pool last year WU3 well pleased i ilii u u: pnw ne received lor iu* imbs. V We will begin shipping pooled^,* imbs this year as soon as a deck' f iambs can be made up and we 'ill continue to ship once a month tiercafter, until all the lambs In the ounty arc sold. It will be to the advantage of all heep growers if a larger percentage f the lambs are shipped through tire ool this year. The farmers of Watauga county rfll save money on their lambs and /ool this year if they will only get ogether and stick together with heir lamb and wool pools. Vlany Farmers Taken From Delinquent List. Columbia, S. C., May 16.? Paylent of over $1,424,400 of state and ounty taxes in North Carolina has emoved the names of thousands of armers from delinquent tax lists nd helped reduce farm tax sales in he state to less than half of the 933 level, according to Julian H. Scarborough, general agent of the 'arm Credit Administration of Colmbia. Some 12,900 North Carolina farmrs refinanced their debts through he Federal Land Bank and Land Sank Commissioner since the Farm Jredit Administration was organized nd, in many instances, the loans ricluded funds to pay back taxes wed by farmers to local tax authorities. The total amount loaned for the mrpose equals an average tax payitont of about $110 per farmer refllanced. The $1,412,400 covers tax paynents in connection with $28,187,000 if land bank and Commissioner loans nade in North Carolina from May 1, 933 to January 1, 1936. About 5.1 ter cent, of this amount was used or tax payments. Payment of back taxes as a reult of Federal land bank refinaning ha3 provided timely assistance I o the various counties to pay school eachers, county officers and meet -ther local government expenses.

Reynolds To Address Junior Convention Members of the Junior Order from Lliis area are expected to join those of other sections of North Carolina i" the observance of the first annual home-coming celebration to be held at the Junior Order orphans home, Lexington, N.

The complete program will be completed within a short time, state officials of the order have announced. FARMER BLAMES POLITICS FOR ACCIDENT INCREASE Raleigh. May 15.?Captain Charles D. Former of the highway patrol expressed the opinion today "in a way, politics might be considered indirectly responsible for the increase in automobile accident fatalities now being noted." The captain reasoned, he said, "with the increased interest in politics in recent months the newspapers have practically deserted our safety campaigns and many of the civic clubs, which have done a great deal to reduce accidents with their drives, have stopped even pretending to talk safety on the highways and have begun discussions of politics. "Its a fact that virtually ali have abandoned their safety campaigns. "Yes air, they've just about forgotten safety and resumed their old habits of driving fast and reckless."
