Nq State Fair will be held this year, becabse the government finally decid ed t accept the offer of the North Carolina Agricultural Society to make the fair grounds and huildings a part of the new army tank camp.

One of these requirements directly concerns the subscri bers of The Asheboro Cou rier,' limiting the sending of ' the paper only to those who keep their subscriptions paid A in advanee. ' The War Industries Board will not permit those from whom paper and other mate-. , rials -necessary in the. piibli-: cation of The Courier to fur nish these materials unless ; order of the Board is fully complied with. The order is effective in the month of September. No fur- ther notice will be given to subscribers. There is a print- ed label on each subscription paper that shows how each subscriber stands; the date of this label being the date to which the subscriber has paid. Each subscriber is re- quested to pay in advance BEFORE OCTOBER 1. The ' Courier does not want to lose or cut off any subscribers,but can take no chances of being cut off , from materials neces- sary for publication of the newspaper. The Government has made this request, and thte manage- I ment of The Courier has agreed to comply and obey without murmur every re quest oft the Government. The Courier, is not saying Jiow long for you to pay in musi oe-Kepc paid m advance,- Q and there will be only enough newspapers printed each week to supply Nsubscribers who have paid in advance, and each one is asked to pay immediately and not wait un til the last minute to get their subscriptions in shape. Most of The Courier subr sciibers are paid in advance, and those who arc net paid in advance will no doubt pay promptly and without mur mur. These are extraordinary times, is the only reason The Courier offers for adopting this rale. The War Industries Board X says every newspaper should- adopt this rule, and all will agree that itis the duty of every one to conform to these requirements and obey in- structions.
