SETS EXAMPLE
The Coa?tal Pain Fair Association
?t Tarboro, representing ? district
fair for tne eastern part of the Stat,
has offered a striking example in co
operation between fairs anb demon
stration agents in its 1918 memor
andum concerning iuter-county ex
hit its. Unber the joint manage
ment of C. A. Johnson, Secretary
of the Coastal Plain Fair, aad R.
W. Freeman, District Agent of the
Extension Service, the fair associa
tion has made some spledid plans
for coanty exhibits this fall.
The memorandum, as drawn up
by Mr. Freeman and accepted by
Mr. Johnson is in part as follows:
Hie counties of Hertford, Bertie,
a'fax. Nash. Edgecombe, Wilson
Greene, Pitt, Martin, Beaufort,
^Washington and Hyde or Tyrell,
have agreed to put on a county ex
hibit consisting of specimens of
field, orchard and garden crops,
models of farming utenvIs, conveni
ences of educational value, bhoto
? graphs of farm scenes in respective
counties and enred meats. The
class of products is to be represen
tative of each county's type of
Sericulture and, proportioned ac
cording to ,rie discretion of the
county agent.
The premium is u> cvubisi ui ?
trophy cup for for the best county
exhibit. So other prize will be
given. The fair association ia to
bear all expenses of setting up ex
hibits, incuding agents expenses,
freight dray are, etc., the cost to be
limited to $50.00 per couirfy. The
fair association will furnish drays
and tranfers to unload and unload
all of the exhibit?, "this to be done
under the supervislan of the County
agent.
The fair association has agreed to
put in uniform shelve* in all the J
. booths, and to make it pwsible to
have the front of the booths closed,
whenever advisable. One of the
directors of the fair association has
been designated as the director of
the inter-county exhibits depart
ment, and will be directly in charge
of the inter-county building.
"It ia co-operation of this kind
states Mr. S. G. Rubinow Chair
man of the Fair Committee, "which
makes the Coastal Plain District
Fair one of the best fairs in the
State. Last year the Gaston Coun
ty Fair, under the wise and efficient
management of J. M. Holland, the
Secretary of the Fair, and John B.
Steele, the Gaston County Demon
station Agent, set the pace for the
State in the number aod
character of its exhibits. The large
number of community exhibits
displayed necessitated and inter
community building, which was one
of the attractions of the season.
There is no doubt but what the fair
work of the State is growing in in
terest and in value.

Pierre Hamp, a Prtndi medical au
thority, estimate* that of the 88,000,
000 people of all ares still living la
France 4,000.000 Boat die of tubercu
losis. The war will have killed about
1,000,000. This means that man with
all of his Inventiveness la far leas em

There have been over 400,000 new
cases of consumption In franco sine*
the war began. This la why, despite
the number of new hospitals, there la
still not suffldsat space available tm
tuberculosis cases.
The Question ef Psnslena.
Of course first consideration la ac
corded to ths ever popular wounded
men. Therein lies the tragedy of the
consumptive soldier. With the new
cases coming In dally from the
trenches the consumptives are not
as helpless as the wounded mea.
When discharged from the army the
severely wounded are allowed a pen

WHAT THE VICTORY OR
DEFEAT OF GERMANY
MEANS TO EVERY AMERICAN
(Contributed by ALBERT PAYSON
TBHH17NK. author and globe-trotter,
10 the National Swurlty League's
? uiiipnlsn of Patriotism Through t!du
atlon.)
Germany's victory would mean all
I bat the alarmists have said?the set
buck of humanity, democracy, clvlliza
Hon, rights of man, etc. But, to Amer
ica, It would mean Infinitely more.
If would mean our first national de
feat ; and, thus, would smash our per
fect record for victories?a record as
old as our nation?a record that means
more than the right to brag. Even as
a beaten army never wholly regains Its
old form?even aa a beaten ring cham
pion sinks at once Into desuetude?so
oar nation (its traditions of victory
gone) woald suffer far worse deteriora
tion than the mere fact of defeat could
inflict
It would mean that the man who has
risked all In his country's struggle for
Right could never again feel Ms former
calm certainty that Right moat tri
umph. Thus, the moral tone of the In
dividual, as wall as of the nation,
would Inevitably be lowered.
This country has never embarked In
a war of conquest. From 1775 to the
present we have foaght for Liberty or
for Union or tor the Oppreeeed?ever
for aome sterling principle of right.
From childhood we have been taught
to believe that the high nnselflshnaaa
of oar war alms has given ua the vic
tory. We have seen the decay or de
struction of men and natlona that have
battled for dominion?a? Germany la
now battling. Should we fall la thla,
our mightleat war for the Right, the
average t?n must loaa forever the
simple Faith which has led our dear
country from nothlngneaa to its prea
ent eetate. For that Faith, more than
for anything elae, oar sacrifice Is ?
hundredfold Justified.

Although (it'rmuny. while yet a
"friend," Intrigued agalnat our peace
and order, urged Japan and Mexico to
make war on us. and murdered our
men. women and children, there are
those among us professing loyalty and
Intelligence who practically say this Is
not our war and appear unable to real
ise that the defeat of the boche Is as
vital to ua Americana as was the vlc
tory of 1776.
Then we declared for Independence;
now we flght to maintain It
It is not merely that we flght In
answer to Indignity snd material In
Jury done us through attack on our
rights as a nation and on the Uvea
of our cltlxens?not merely to uphold
oar place among self-respecting peo
ples?thst we are at war; but literally
for our self preservation aa a republic.
To musile this war-mad wild beast
we have taken up arms?that the
world shall be aafe for the freemen of
the world. *
The world cannot rest In peace while
Germany holds the destiny of other
peoples In her blood-dripping hands.
The world cannot live In peace with
a people that commits, or penults her
sponsors to commit In her name, the
foul acts gf treachery, of vandalism,
of bestiality, of murder, that have
marked the trail of the German army
over Europe. ^

be the German doctrine?then shall we
fall nnder the domination of a people
that have robbed and raped and looted
and burned and killed, that the

Prusslanlsm Is devoid of honor,
truth; Justice or merry, as Its own acts
hare proved, and Its defeat Is a neces

world and the freedom of civilization.
For the safety of American institu

all our strength.
