THE NEWS-HERALD, MPRG ANTON, N. C., SEPTEMBER 2 1ST, 1922., 4 ni2 GENERAL PERSHING WILL ATTEND FAIR Big Plans On Foot For the State Fair This Year; "Military Day Will Be Occasion of Pershing's Visit Definite announcement that General John J. Pershing, commander of the American Expeditionary Forces dur ing the world war will attend the North Carolina State Fair on Wed nesday, October 18, has been made public by Mrs. Edith Vanderbilt, pres ident of the fair. The announcement, which was con tained in a telegram from Mrs. Van derbilt to Col. Albert L. Cox, of Ral eigh, served to stimulate plans for making Wednesday "Military Day" at the fair and it is now expected that Wednesday will overshadow. Thurs day, which is usually the "Big. Day" at the fair. In order to do honor to America's greatest war hero who will make his first visit to the State cap itol on the occasion of the fair, posts of the American Legion throughout the State will be asked to send rep resentatives to the fair and. units of the State's national guard and a de tachment of troops from Camp Bragg are also expected to be on hand. 'Arrangements for "Military Day" are in the hands of Colonel Cox and details have not yet been worked out. It is probable, however, that, the pro gram will include a speech by the General in the forenoon and some so cial function in his honor in the even ing. While the visit of General Pershing will cause attention to be concentrat ed on Wednesday, special plans are being made for each of the other big days of the fair. Tuesday will be "Breeders' Day." All of the live stock exhibits will be on display and judging will begin in all departments on Tuesday. Breeders from other States as well as North Carolina will be on hand to see the Battle of the Breeds. Following "Military Day" on Wed nesday, "College and Football Dav" will be observed on Thursday. The annual gridiron classic between the University of North Carolina and the North Carolina State College al ways attracts thousands of visitors to Raleigh, all of whom want to take in the fair in the mornine and the evening Right of way will be giv en the football game in the afternoon but special arrangements will . be made to take care of the collegions before and after the game. "Mothers', Children's and Flower Day" will be observed on Friday, the last day of the fair. Children will be privileged visitors during the dav and every visitor to the grounds will be presented with a flower, dogwood blossoms having been designated for that purpose. KNOW NORTII CAROLINA Bion II. Butler. A glance at the map tells about the whole storv of Nature's conspir- a- i- - T r t: i. acy io maKe iNurui Carolina Kreau Seacoast at one end that provides ocean transportation to norts of the world, short rail carriage to the centers of population. Mild climate in summer and winter, which makes a good agricultural section and a de sirable place to live in. . High mountains in the west. These shelter the State from the blizzards of the west and also affect the rain fall giving an abundance all over the State. Liberal rain falling on the high attitudes affords vast water power, a the streams carry the water downward to the sea. From the mountain summits to the fall lie is a long distance, giving a big drainage area, consequently a big volume of water to drop to the sea, as well as a big drop. So North Car . olina has a great electrical possibility. Soil and climate conditions make easy the production of crops like cot ton, tobacco and timber that are the raw materials for mills and factories driven by elctric power, and the State annually renews both its raw material and its power. While other States use up their iron ore and glass sand, and their coal and their gas fuel North Carolina goes ahead making its constant resources, and it is the one State of the Union that has its man ufacturing plants based on a perma nent source of power and material. Here is an agreeable section in which to live. People from every where come to North Carolina for recreation and holiday. Here is a section in which industry is encotrr aged by an abundance of the things needed for many times the population we have. Here is a section from which products can be carried away on sea or land. We have no moun tains to cross to get to sea, or to the big buying markets of the North and East which means, to the bulk of the people of our own country and the bulk of the people of the world. No man lives who will see the day when North Carolina does not have ample power for all its industries, ample raw material to supply them, or ample agricultural products for its people.. This is one State that can not squander its assets nor exhaust them. No other one quite like it ex ists. That is Nature's conspiracy to make North Carolina great. CURTIS-FLEMING.

For those who may live in future life to read or speak' in public, there is more in such exercise than mere fun: Six little thistle sticks. Flesh of freshly fried fish. Two toads, totally tired, tried to trot to Tedbury. The sea ceaseth, but.sufficeth Us. Give Grimes Jim's great gilt gig whip. Strict, strong ' Stephen Stringer snared slickly six sickly silky snakes.

Susan shiheth shoes and socks, socks and shoes shineth Susan; she ceaseth shining shoes and socks, for socks and shoes shock Susan. You know the tongue-twister Peter Piper, but there are others which are harder. One of the worst is "Mixed biscuits." Try saying that rapidly, and if you succeed, -say this: "Stop at the shop at the top of the Sloane street." ' Then try saying over and over again, just as fast as you can: "Six slender saplings," and see if your tongue does not get nicely twisted. Some people contend that it is ex tremely difficult to say even such a simple thing as "Troy boat" fast, and many times without getting the words mixed.

There are few sections where the weather at haying time is always ideal. That is the one time of year when speed is the essence of good farming. It is no uncommon happening for some farmers to lose several tons .of hay by a delay in getting it off the ground. . - This work is now speeded up by using the Fordson with the Roderick Lean Cutmore Mower. The CUTMORE is attached direct - to the tractor between the front and rear wheels in the position where the driver can have perfect control over it. The power is taken from the worm gear that drives the rear wheels, so it is always even and dependable. The CUTMORE makes hay cutting with the Fordson a one-man job. There is ample power for cutting' the heaviest crops, including alfalfa, clover, vetch, velvet beans, pea hay and lespedeza. ' The cutter bar may be' disconnected in a few minutes, so that the tractor may be used for other work. The draw bar is always available for pulling a wagon, rake or other tool. Attached to your Fordson, the CUTMORE means greater speed and economy of handling your hay crop. BURKE GARAGE CO, Ifyoa want to ave all you raUe, equip your farm with STANDARD FORDSON EQUIPMENT. 1 knew him when he was a boy What one is there of us that bps not felt the glow of satisfaction, over the outstanding success of a UfeAong friend!
