There will be four in Randolph this fall and you should plan to attend one of these fairs. It should be the aim of every farmer and his wife to do whatever he can to build up his home commun ity. The more he interests himself in work of this kind the better the community will be, and the better will be the place where he is bringing up his children. The aim of every father and mother should be to raise their children the best that is in their pow er. To give them the best opportun ities possible, and in order to do this they must interest themselves in community betterment Better schools, that their children may have the proper educational training and de velopment. Better churches, that they may be directed into the right way of thinking and living while they are still young. Better community spirit, and things of interest for the young people so that we can hope to keep the young people on the farm. Some training on the things that will be their lifes work. Community fairs play their part in this great drama of life and we should take a part. Com munity spirit and interest helps to do the other things mentioned, and the friendly rivalry at these fairs between friends helps keep the boys and girls interested. When Sow Red Clover To my mind there are only two months in the year to sow clover, namely September and March. Since king in this county I find many farmers who say that they do not any success with seeding clover in the fall. The reason for this is that they sow the clover with the wheat along in October. This is too fete tor best results. I realize that good results are sometimes securred Ijr this practice especially if the win ter is very mild. However I am sure that better results will be secured by an earlier seeding, or wait until spring. Clover can be seeded with oats in September, but I would cer tainly advise anyone who plans to seed clover in the wheat land to wait mntil march. I believe that if this practice is followed that we will have less trouble with getting good stands. In practically every case that I have observed where this practice was fol lowed good stands have been secured. A. good stand, however, does not dean that you will have clover. Your land must be in proper condition, and en most of our soils we need an ap plication of a ton or more of lime stone per acre to correct the soil acidity. Land will sometimes grow food clover for a while and then get so that it will not and the farmer wonders why. There are several good Masons, but here is a very common one. Clover, or any legume for that Batter, is a heavy feeder of lime, and as none of our soils at best have much fime it is soon exhausted. Even in the great limestone belt of the cen tral west they are beginning to use lime, because they have exhausted the lime from the top soil that they use. There is still plenty of lime lower down but it does not help the crop. NORTH CAXOLTXA PICTORIAL ATLAS OFF PS5 Albert T. Dntauaoacfl Pietorel At las of North Carolina is off the press. it is s neat and attractive volume de voted to the displaying of subjects of statewide importance and contains ' many illustration. It presents a con cise, authentic, and complete story ! of North Carolina today. There are three sections to the book, one of which is devoted to statistics and U- I lustrations of subjects of general Im portance ana another section gives a sketch of each county, list of manu facturing plants, and features of the state that rank as distinct features in the world. Pictures of roads, bridges, schools and public buildings are in cluded. One section of probably more interest is that devoted to two-page displays of each of the 56 towns and cities in the state having over 2,500 population. Due to the activities, of the Asheboro Woman's Club Ashebbro is included in this section. On these two pages are some interesting sta tistics with reference to Asheboro and it carries illustrations of the plants of the Home Building and Material Company, Randolph Chair Company, Asheboro Wheelbarrow Company, Acme Hosiery Mills, and the Central hotel, county courthouse, graded, school building, and the First Nation al Bank. The illustration of Asheboro Wheel barrow Company's plant appears not only in the Asheboro section, but also in that part of the book devoted to special features in the state, this com pany being the only one of its kind in the state. The price of the book is $2.50. The Woman's Club will soon start taking orders for the book and it is hoped that a number of people will take advantage of the opportunity to sup ply themselves with a copy of this in teresting work. science are wHh vs. Instead ef selnf PORT BILL WILL NOT SX v MAD PARTISAN ISSLT sarnnsed as President Cooiidge was. that there was not more craft and corruption, the people of the United ' William G.

This Is Democracy's Year Senator Vardman of Missippi in his first race for the United States Senate was told by one of his friends: "Gov ernor, I am your friend. I am your strong friend. But I don't want you to run for the Senate. You are certain to be defeated." Vardaman's reply was: ''Hell is full of such friends." Demo crats who go around forecasting Dem ocratic defeat this year have no pass ports to heaven. This is Democracy's year. With a platform and candidates which appeal to the intelligence, the honesty, and the patriotism of the American peo ple, with Republican officials soiled with oil and smirched with graft and corruption in its very center in Wash ington, success should and will be ours.

SUNBURN A day at the beach, the soft, springy sand, a dive and a swim in cooL sparkling water, forgetful of the burning rays of that ball of fire in the sky. It's glorious while it lasts. But those burning rays did their work. Their fire is on your arms, your shoulders, your neck. Clothes are a burden, every move is painful, every action is torture. Swab LICARBO on that sunburn. Away goes the soreness, out goes the fire. A slap on the shoulders brings a laugh instead of a cry of pain. LICARBO makes the day after a pleasure, the day before a fond memory.
