THE BIG RUSH
TO FLORIDA
Postofrice Department Finds It
Impossible To Deliver Mail
To the Hosts Who Have Al
ready Gone There.
Washington, Sept. 22.—According
the Postmaster General New and
Secretary Work, all road* lead to
Florida. Mr. New announced today
that his department was overrun
with Florida business. His state
ment is a most remarkabh one and
will be of interest thro'.,uhout the
nation.
The department of the interior is
keeping tab on the movement, to
Florida and other section of the
south for the coming winter. Hun
dreds of automobiles pas., over the
main thoroughfares from tl.e west
and east to the south every week.
Mr. New said:
"The tremendous growth—the tre
mendous influx for the winter—has
nearly swamped all FloriJa offices
and made it necessary to establish a
branch of the postoffice department
at Miami to aid in maintaining the
postal service.
' The rush has been witb-.tut prece
dent in the history of the postoftkv
department. Postofficos that have
been organized to serve populations
of 10,000 have been failed upon to
serve more than 100,000, ui;d it is a
manifest impossibility.
"People from northern spates have
flocked to Florida in regir>unts, bri
gades and armies, very few of them
having made any provision in ad
vance for permanent postu! address
es. Letters are sent to them to those
Florida towns, addressed general de
livery. As a result there are lines
blocks in length or long r at many
of the smaller offices.
"In many cases there_ is no room
in the building to handle the mail.
This year people have pme to
Florida before the season opened.
They are down there now.
"1 have made arrnngi iv. 'tits to

With the band this year is a saxa
phone quartette which has achieved
fame in musical centres throughout |
the world. There will also be a daily 1
performance by Herbert White xyl- j
ophone soloist, who makes delightful j
music on his strange instrument.
It will also be of great interest to
lovers of good singing to know that |
Miss Gertrude Van Deinse, who is j
known as "the girl with the million !
dollar voice," will be with the Victor,
organization.
The band will play daily and
nightly programs on the grounds

management of the fair is delighted!
with the prospect for good music •
this year, because many people at- j
j tend the fair just to hear the music. .
Those who attend for that purpose.
this year will be delightcl beyond
' expression.
The securing of this band and
accompanying artists is a very ex- j
pensive proposition, but the announ-:
! cement has been made many times
by the management that the cost is
not considered when it comes to j
, pleasing the people. This is every
( body's fair, and everybody is wel-,
come.

MT. AIRY PLANS *
TOBACCO SALES
Auction Warehouses Will Open
In Granite City October 5.
Mount Airy, Sept. 24.—The tobac
co market will open here Monday,
October 5, with experienced tobacco
men in charge. J. S. Ball will be
auctioneer for the Planters ware
house, and A. A. Fowler will be auc
tioneer for the Lovill warehouse. Mr.
Ball has been on the market here for
years, but Mr. Fowler comes from
Kentucky. However, he i* known in
this section, as he formerly sold for
Brown's warehouse in vVinston-Sa
lem.
Practically the same buyers will
be on the market who were here
last year. Mr. Joe Dobson will have
charge of the co-operative ware
house, which will open Tuesday, Oct.

er experienced men will complete the

Madison Road
Under Construction
Madison, Sept. 30.—Work of grad
ing for the surfaced highway that
will connect a Walnut Cove with the
hard surface road from Winston-
Salem and thus link Winston-Salem
and Madison, has recently been start
ed here. The road will follow the
north bank of Dan river bv way of
the W. li. Carter place an 1 will cross
the river near Walnut Cove.
It is undersood that the road has
been laid out on the north bank of
the river in order to do away with
railroad crossings, as the present
j highway to Winston-Salem crosses
J the Norfolk and Western tracks a
j few miles south of town. A new
| concrete bridge will be built across
j the Dan. The completion of this
I project will give western Rocking
! ham approximately seven and a half
miles of hard surface road.
I
Get Prime Steers
For Winter Feeding
I Raleigh, Sept. 20.—The inexperi
enced crop farmer who plans to buy
la few feeder cattle this fall for fat
| tening during winter will tind that
j steers will fatten as easily as cows
and will bring higher prices when
finished.
"Old cows of equal breeding with
steers will make the same gains hut
| when finished they will not command
the same price on the market due
to the fact that much of the fat i>
laid on as intestinal fat or in other
places where the cuts are of low
value." says Prof. R. S. Curtis of the
Animal Husbandry Department at
State College. "With steer.-, the fat
is accumulated over the hack, loin,
and sides or in the region of high
| priced cuts. Feeders should he gtiid
-1 .'d by these facts.
"This does not moan tb"t feeder;-
should not buy females because  f
tentimes the local market wdi not
nay the price for good lis: .-bed
steers and will take the fattened
females readily. It will al-o iquir.
less capital to purchase ami feed ol i
.cows as they can be boujrht at a
• iteai .')• price. Considering th. fact,
i however, that old cows wiil oft on be
ihin wlvn purchased, thej will put
en more we : Kht, much of whi. a is
as fill, and can th. iefoii I>.
fid i ! less margin. By tin- is
nie;;■. ' it t-ie difference between
cost at ; vide price will be les> than
with . It should always be
kept in LI:!! I that the old ILA.- when
finished !!. be sold more l adily on
the local •: aiket, while steers go to
the nioiv iti . viniinating markets of
the largi i . liters."
Mr. Curti- slates that the man who
takes a pri > in fattening cattle,
who knows b. v. io get into the mar
ket and is acquainted with the chan
nels of trade will find it more profit
able to feed steel's.
