Last year this fair was a credit to your community and one of the best educational features of the county. We are counting on you to help make it a bigger and better fair this year. Don’t stand back and say “I have nothing nice enough to exhibit,” or, “Someone else will have something better than I,” then on the day of the fair say “Oh, I can beat this exhibit—if I had only brought mine from home.” There will be a committee waiting to re ceive and place your exhibits, so meet us there on the date mentioned and show the people what you can do. OLD-FASHIONED BABY SHOW Something new to the Sandhill Fair and yet old to many who have at tended Fairs in their early years, is an old-fashioned baby show. The modern baby show has so many com plications and ramifications, with weights and measures, etc., that it does not mean the same as the old fashioned one where premiums were awarded to the best lookin and best dressed baby, and it is the latter that we are going to have at the Fair. On Wednesday morning, Novem ber 8th, at 11 o’clock will be assembl ed in the grand stand all the babies of Moore county, Lee, Harnett, Hoke, Cumberland, Scotland , Richmond, Montgomery, Randolph and Chatham counties, whose mothers think they can win a prize and what mother does not think that her baby has it all over every other baby in the county? The Sandhill Fair Association is of fering the following prizes for the best babies: 1st 2nd For the prettiest boy baby under 1 year $5.00 $2.50 For prettiest girl baby under 1 year 5.00 2.50 For prettiest boy baby 1 to 2 years old 5.00 2.50 For prettiest girl baby 1 to 2 years old 5.00 2.50 For prettiest boy baby 2 to 3 years old 5.00 2.50 For prettiest girl baby 2 to 3 years old 5.00 2.50 Sweepstakes, prettiest baby in show— Purple Ribbon. PINEHURST At the regular meeting of the Pinehurst Community Club, which will be held on Friday of this week, the club will stage a Mock Thial at which one of Moore county’s most prominent business men will be duly tried by a Judge and Jury of his peers for the illegal appropriation of one second-hand automobile tire. I The State’s interests will be guard- ; ed by one Mr. Davis as Solicitor, as- I sisted by Mr. I. C. Sledge. Mr. : Davis, he of the fog-horn voice, has I given the case considerable thought I and when he stands up and hollers ' for justice, no doubt the court will feel inclined to give it to him to get him stopped. However, the defense is not wor rying over the matter. Contra, under the guidance of Prof. J. F. Casau and Mr. Loyd L. Gardner they intend to secure for their client a clean bill of health, whether he is entitled to it or not. Several rehearsals have been held and all who come will be assured of an evening full of mirth and good time. Remember and carry your exhibits to the SANDHILL FAIR after you have exhibited them at the VASS COMMUNITY FAIR LIVESTOCK MEN WILL MEET Beginning November 22, and last ing three days the State Livestock Associations of North Carolina will meet in Statesville for conferences and exhibits of pure bred stock. The first day, November 22, will be de voted to swine; the second day, No vember 23, to dairy cattle and poul try and the third day, November 24, to beef cattle and sheep. This is the second meeting of this kind to be held at Statesville. The first held some few years ago was of the most successful that the live stock men have experienced. Mr. R. S. Curtis, in charge of the Animal Husbandry work for the North Caro lina Experiment Station and Exten sion Service states that plans are al ready rapidly maturing for the* meet ing and many speakers well known in the United States for their know ledge of livestock have been secured to appear on the program. In addition some of the best known livestock men of North Carolina will also take an important part in the discussions. Dr. Tait Butler of the Progressive Farmer and a well known authority on livestock has already tentatively agreed to be present. A representative of the American Farm Bureau Federation has also been se cured for one day. At Statesville, Mr. R. W. Graeber, County Agent of Iredell County, and Mr. F. T. Meacham, superintendent of the Piedmont Branch Station will have charge of local arrangements and will be assisted by some of the leading farmers and business men. MR. PATTERSON EXPLAINS ASSOCIATION METHODS September 29, 1922. Mr. J. A. McDiarmid, Raeford, N. C. Dear Sir:— In reply to your letter of Septem ber 22nd, our method in selling the Association tobacco is as follows: A committee of tobacco men is ap pointed by the bankers and War Fi nance Corporation to value our to baccos in comparison with the prices that are being paid on the warehouse floors at auction, for loan purposes. This committee is composed of Mr. T. M. Carrington, President of the United States Tobacco Association, Richmond; Mr. John M. Taylor, to bacco merchant, Richmond; and Mr. Z. V. Gwynn, also a tobacco merchant of Richmond, and formerly supervis ing buyer for Liggett & Myers To bacco Company. After the tobaccos are appraised by this committee, a Sales Committee of this Association, appointed by our directors and composed of Mr. G. A. Norwood, President of this Associa tion; Mr. Bright} Williamson, Vice- President and Mr. S. T. Peace, a director of the Association, place a minimum selling price on the Associa tion tobacco and these tobaccos are not sold for less than the price fixed by this committee. We have been fortunate enough to sell a large per centage of our South Carolina tobaccos at prices very much in excess of the Sales Committee’s prices and we feel very much en couraged with the progress we are making with our tobaccos. There are quite a number of in stances brought to our attention where people are circulating all sorts of reports of damaging character, to the effect that we are not selling our tobaccos and others say that we are selling them, in some cases, for less than some particular grade might bring on the warehouse floors; but if we are so fortunate as to sell this crop of tobacco for our members at (Continued on page 8)
