WEDNESDAY EVENING OCTOBER 18, 1916 Price Two Cents h h PARTIAL PROGRAM FOR CATAWBA COUNTY FAIR Biggest Line of Exhibits, Largest Number of Amusements and Best Attractions Ever Pro videdSpecial License and Cneap Fare to Grounds in Automobiles. This time next everybody, wi I be right in the middle of the ! !ig Fair. A v i . i t to some of the dairv farms showed bustle and ae tivity in preparation for this event. No ii'ooming debutante every receiv ed more careful grooming than Ca tawba county's famous cattle are now receiving from their faithful care lakers. The reporter was not in itiated into the mysteries of their tnilet,, so he cannot say what brand i.f cob! cream, talcum powder, etc.. wa used, but the various carders, cuinbs, brushes and cloths were be ing wielded very effectively, until their coats shone like velvet, anil their back hair was without a tan gle. They all looked like winners. The same may be said about the poultry. Cocks and cockerels, hens and pullets, are being critically examined its to physical and featnerly perfec tion. Their legs archieing scrubbed, ton;l and wattles oiled. (We were going to say that their eyebrows were heing penciled, but we are not so sure about the eyebrows.) Anyway, Farm l)cn.i'iift rater .Mask says he is going to have the biggest and best poultry eshihit ever held in Catawba county; and that is saying lots, because Hick ory's fairs have been noted for their tine poultry. The perfection of the dairy herds is .in. , old story to most of tis, and only a few know about the beef cattle. I 'or this reason Record and Democrat i-ivtders should not foj-'g'-'t to take a uoi.il look at the tine herd of Hertford U.'f eat tie that Mr. J. A. Whitener w',11 have on exhibition.

There is a most recent in dication of this in plans that are now practically completed for a steamship line designed to run from Finnish One- of the most striking features of the present economic conditions in the country is the flood of ready money. The Bank of Finland has greatly increased its note circulation, and denosits in, private banks have increased to enormous figures. This flood of money is due m erreat part; to the Russian government s expen diture for the maintenance of troops military necessities, and fortification work. The difficulties in the way of ex porting and even the unfavorable communications with many parts of interior Russia also resulted in much money staying in the country which otherwise have g-one abroad.
