Farmers Federation v A society started by J. C. K. McClure in Fairview .township of Buncombe County has seem e"d to have struck the center when it .comes to help for the Farmer and land. The stores and the warehouses and buying for the whole of them has given a start to the agriculture "of Buncombe County thathas not been equaled by anthing so ' far In the history-of the county. It would be well that we study this organizatioriand see if . it has some lessons for us - and it mizht be well that we get : into Contact with it. The invest ment last year sold the products cf the farms and paid six per " cent on the investment and a five .per cent dividend to Jthe stockholders. Why could not " '.on have such '-an oram- Madison County Fair. The great things that are promised for the State Fair by their President Mrs. Vanderbilt makes some of the County of Madison wish that the County might have their Fair ' again. Last year there was a deficit in the funds which compelled those who had charge to delay in pay ing the prizes and in some cases decrease the prize. However the farmers and the women made a great showing and some of the ladies who sent their can ned goods to the State Fair re ceived first prize for the things done.- . V' ' Why cannot we have another this year. Perhaps the prizes might not be as great but at the same time many would be satis fied with the bine or red ribbon-. It is not the value of the prize so much as it is the fact of hav ing won the prize. Cannot . we get together and do something for the County along this line. If nothing else, at least we can get together and see one another and compare the best we have produced with that of someone else and then if ours is better we can hang on the wall the ribbon that we gained. , The Fair may not have paid in mon ey last year but it sure did pay in the spirit of 'competition and the worthwhileness of the ex hibits. It will take big work to get the Fair, started - again as there is some apathy, but at the same time why let the Fair die because, nk of failure in ex hibits but because the things were so good and the exhibits so many that the money hardly was enough tovpay the prizes.

I have been down through the hard coal section of Pennsyl vania, and the miners all say there is no strike only a suspension of work.
