Winston, the orator of the day. Prof. M. C. 8. Noble delivered a most practi cal and helpful address. His gen eral theme was "Progress and Pa triotism." He illustrates with catchy phrases and excellent stories. His comparison of the old times and the new was a charming piece of humor which greatly pleased his audiance. Mr. R. L. Brown, of the Oxford Orphan Asylum, made an excel lent presentation of the work of that great institution. - For fifteen years this picnic has been he|d here by the Masons' of Northampton, Hertford and Bertie counties.

Browne Urges Boys Not to Forget That Prizes Are Offer ed to Promote Growiag for Production. Mr. T. E. Browne, asistant in charge of Boys' corn club work, has just issued instructions with reference to the exbitits for the ?State fair, including the prizes which bare been alloted for ex Wbits frons the Cpastat plain, the Piedmont, and tlm Mountain sec tions. The -fair association offers eight prizes to each section in ad dition to three sweepstake prizes $25, $15 and $10. open to both boys and mgn of the whole State. The special premiums for the boys in each of the three sections are: tst, $7.ob; 2nd, $6.00; 3rd. $5.00; 4th, $3.00; 5th, $2.00, and three prizes of $1.00 isacb.

"We don't want you to loose sight of thfr fact." says Mr. Browne in his letter, "that these premiums are given to .promote the growing of those types and varieties of corn which, under the proper conditions, produce the largest amonunt of shelled corn per acre. The farmer wants that corn which will give him the largest number of bushels of sound corn for a given amount of labor and fertilizer. In order to further this most important idea the awards at the fair this year will be based upon the following scale of points; PrMificac.v, 60 per cent; type of ear, 30 per cent; type of stalk, 10 per cent.?News and Observer.

John son, of the North Carolina Experi ment Station, the improvements un the farms of North Carolina during the period from 1900 to 1910 was seven per cent annually r?f the value of the crops produced during the year. "According to the census of 1910," says Mr. Johnson, "the value of the crops grown in North Carolina during the previous year amounted to $142,890,192. The iiicrease in value of farm buildings, equipment, and live stock on the farms was $102,672,412. This amount is 70 percent of the value of the one years crop as given above, and if we distribute this !>er cent increase in value over the ten year period, it seems that the farmer has been able to put at least 7 per cent of the value of his crops into better equipment, more and better live stock, and improved farm buildings. Putting this money into these improvments is equivalent to mak ing that much profit above his living expense. Not only has the farmer bettered himself by im proving Ins farm, but his land has increased in value during the same length of time about>142.5 percent of this unearned increment in ad dition to the other profit. The other profit of 7 per cent is not on total capitalization of his farm either bat-is on his annual earn ings." Warranty Deeds for sale at the Herald office 26c. the dozen ?

"The Water's Fine" Seasonal Hints on Bathinf. "Come on in, the water's fine" the word these days. Nothing so relieves the situation in hot weather as a nice cool bath or a iwim. It rs the order of the day from the long suffering baby L?uiidled up in two many clothes to the "stout" over nourished, under ixercised woman with the fan end rocking chair, from the hot tired workman to the sunburned school tniy who frequents the "ole iwimmin hole." And why shouldn't the boys live )h intimate terms with the swim ming hole. Shame on those 1 nervous, neurestlienic trouble turning parents who are constantly idmonishing their boys "not to jo near the water." It is silly to 1 my the least. Now actually who 1 :ver heard of any hoy's being in ured by goinji swimming, when iver they want to and for about as ong as they want to? It is one of 1 .he finest and best exercises known. S'o small boy is ever willing to 1 ,ake a bath but show us one that won't go swimming whenever he jets a chance. Furthermore, to know how to 1 iwim is a important oart of any iducation 'these days. Yale re- 1 juires that every graduate be able 1 o swim 800 yards before receiving 1 lis diploma. If every boy told .he truth and obeyed his mother, 1 low many men would know how : ? swim I The most important precautions ibout swimming are to learn how oswim by the assistance or in the [iresence of some other good I iwimmer, to avoid swimming in Hlthy water, containing sewage 1 pollution. (A little clean mud won't hurt but filthy water is liable to be' swallowed.) To use horse sense about going in over Dne's depth or out too far and about staying in the water too leng, also about plunging into cold water when overheated, especially with a weak heart. Finally don't go in for about two hours after meals. Appreciation. The curtain descended slowly.
