The sixth most important thing in the world is advertising, and advertising telling who you are where you are and what you have to offer the world in the way of service or commodity. The only man who should not advertise is the THE GREAT STATE FAIR. er he knows it or Hubbard. not. By Elbert Stopping the Paper. said an irate citizen of New York city to James Gordon Bennett be cause of some article in the Herald the citizen did not like. Bennett pleaded with the citizen not to do that. "Do not take the bread out of my mouth," urged Bennett. The He Thinks that the Only Man Who can not Afford to Advertise is the One Who has Nothing. Half of the population of America are engaged in farming. Farming is a priminal need, because we get our food out of the soil. Next to food love is the second requisite, and no man is loving, lavely or lovable who is on half ra tions. Richard Cobden put this cocisly when he said, "The ratio of mar riages keeps pace with the price of corn." Only well fed people are capable of love, and a corn-fed pro duct is always prosperous. Next to farming in importance comes transportation, because a thing has to be at a certain place at a certain cime in order to possess value. The railroads bridge time and annihilate space. The third most important thing in the world is manufacturing, which is taking raw products and combin ing them into forms of use and beauty. The fourth most important thing is distribution. Our great cities are centers where vast warehouses are located, and these warehouses gath er together the products of the farm, the factory, the mine and the sea and distribute them to the millions who need them. The fifth most important thing in the world is banking. The banker is one who takes the savings of the people and loans out again a certain per cent, of these savings to the people who can use money to make more money. Statistics show that with a fair capital to start on the banker can safely loan 85 per cent of his deposits and at all times stand ready to meet the checks of custom ers.

Clean Programs for This Year. We have just received from the North Carolina Agricultural Society a striking little booklet that is a man who has nothing to offer, and bright gem in its class. It is tiny, such a person is a dead one wheth-1 Dut f facts and figures about North Carolina and her Great State Fair that will be held for the fifty first time at Raleigh on October 17, 18, 19, 20, 1911. There are only eierht small rae"ea and a near vpsv I am going to stop your paper," tasty cover, all of a size to fit in the ordinary envelope. Cuts show a birdeye view of the Fair Grounds while the Fair is going on and Lin coln Beachey flying in his Curtiss aeroplane over Niagara Falls. There is an appreciation of North Carolina that carries a point in every man was obdurate and said he would j paragraph, a fact in every sentence, I ceacn editors a lesson not to print statements their subscribers did not approve. They separated. Next afternoon they met again. Bennett said to him: "I thank you very much for not stopping my paper." "What do you mean?" asked the irate subscriber. "I mean," said Mr. Bennett, "that I have just come from the office, where I found all the presses run ning and people buying the papers as fast as they could be printed and I thank you for not carrying out the threat you made to stop my pa per." The angry citizen replied: "I did not mean I was going to stop your presses, but that I was going to stop my subscription to your paper, and I went to your office this morn ing and did so." "And so," said Bennett, "that was all you meant when you said you were going to stop my paper." "Dam your subscription!" said the busy editor as he hurried along to gather fresh news for his paper. Ex. gathering points for pure-bred stock in the South, mention is made that the Percheron Society of America is this year offering its special prizes at the Raleigh Fair, which is one of only four Southern Fairs to be so honored, It is stated that by reso lution of the Executive Committee questionable shows and doubtful games have been forbidden the grounds. On the amusement side there is borne the news that the Fair has contracted with the Glenn H. Curtiss Company for aeroplane flights each day of the Fair on a guarantee-to-fly basis, the avitator to be Linloln Beachey or Hugh Robinson. Beachey is the birdman who flew under the bridge at Niagara, while Robinson did likewise at Cairo, 111., under a railroad bridge over the Ohio. These two were the only flyers to finish in the cross-country race from - New York to Philadelphia, and both were CATARRH SUFFERERS. If You Don't Know about Hyomei Try it at E. T. Whitehead Company's Risk. page. The marvelous progress of the State is told in a comparative table of crop figures for 1905 and 1910, and a similar alinement of statistics of the manufacturing industries. In addition there are comparative values of farm land and buildings, clothed in a style ps attractive as the stars at the Chicago Aviation Meet. story it tells, and all in one small ; where Rearhev mdp a nownd for altitude 11,578 feet.

A city girl vrites: "It is a fond dream of mine to become a farm er's wife and meander with him down the pathway of life." To which the Dahlonega, Ga Nuggett replies: "Ah, yes, that is a nice thing! But when your husband meanders off leaves you without wood and you have to meander up and down the land pulling splinters off the fence to cook dinner, and when you meander along in the wet grass in search of the cows till your shoes are the color of rawhide and your stockings are soaked, and when you meander out across 20 acres of plowed ground with a club to drive the hogs out of the corn field and tear your dress on the barbed wire fence, when you meander back home and find that the billy goat has but ted the stuffin' out of your child, and find the old hen, with 40 chick ens in the parlor, you'll put your h-rdr on ycjr h:rs ?n1 "eali?e that j meandering is not what it is cra:k-jeduptobe."
