North Carolina Women to Organize
to Honor President's Wife.
Mrs. K. J. . Reynolds, State presi
dent for North Carolina of the Ellen
Wilson Memorial, is making plans
for the organization of committees of
leading women of the State for the
purpse of raising funds for the per
manent memorial to the wife of Pres
ident Wilson. It is hoped to have
the movement indorsed by the State
Federation of Women's Clubs, the
- Daughters of the American Revolu
tion, the United Daughters of the
Confederacy, the Colionial . Dames,
Church Societiese, and other social
and patriotic orders of women, as
well as by individuals, and not only
their endorsement, but their active
co-operation in the movement.
The movement of the memorial, al
though it originated in the South, is
national in its scope, and it is expect
ed that before long women all over
the country will be working for it
and will make it onef the greatest
enterprises of the sort ever underta
ken by the women of this country.
To Educate Mountain Youth.
When the matter of a memorial to"
Mrs. Wilson was laid before the Pres
ident last summer by Mrs. B. I.
Hughes, of Rome, Ga., the town in
which Mrs. Wilson was educated,
suggesting that Mr. Wilson advise I
the form the memorial should take,
he wrote expressing his appreciation
and stating: "My own judgment
would be that it would be best to
raise a fund which should be an en-
dowment.the interest of which should
be used to pay the way through
school of mountain boys and girls,
because I know that this is what Mrs.
Wilson would have done if she had
had the means and opportunity. She
was paying for the education of sev
eral herself from year to year. It
might be called the Ellen Wilson
Fund for the Christian Education of
Mountain Youth."
ing, will give a realistic exhibition of
an aeroplane attacking a fort. From
a height of two thousand feet he will
hurl real high explosive bombs on a
solid fort below. The fort will re
turn the fire until it is demolished in
a cloud of smoke and dust. It is a
vivid touch of real warfare. Besides
this, there are many other splendid
attractions including Cotton's Com
edy Donkeys, the Skating Bear, The
Human Loop, the loop fifty-feet in
mid air, etc.
A new feature of this years' Fair
and one. that is sure to prove one of
the best, is the grand Floral and In
dustrial parade under the direction
of the Raleigh Rotary Club and the
review of the National Guard by Gen
eral Young and Staff. V
For the agriculturalist there will
be the competitive County Exhibits,
made up of blue ribbon winners from
the county fairs, boys' and girls' corn
clubs, poultry clubs, tomato clubs,
and pig clubs. Another new feature
which will add interest to this, is the
motion pictures exhibit of the treat
ment of the diseases of cattle and
poultry, furnished by the United Sta
tes government.
For the mothers, there is the Bet
ter Babies' contest under the direc
tion of the Womna's Club of Raleigh.
This is but part of the scores of
things that should bring you to thei
Fair October 18-23. Begin to plan
your trip now and be sure to go.
