Preparations for the Great State Fair (By Samuel T. Meares) Preparations are now rapidly un der way for taking care of the large ly inrreased number of exhibits at the Great State Fair this year. The fair will be held Oct. 15th to 20th, and it is gratifying that a special committe will visit every home in Ral eigh which will accomodate visitors COst of living to the consumer. All so that none of the tremendous ciowd members agreed in their discussions will be without comfortable quarters that the price fixed will permit of a at niflht. Another precaution which fourteen-ounce loaf of bread for five was wisely taken by the Executive cents, allowing a fair profit both to Committee, was improvements to the the flour manufacturer and the bak walks in the fair grounds and the'er. race track so that if rainy weather shi'ufd prevail the pleasures and be nefits f the great fair need not be diminished, for indeed this year, the fair will not only offer better and learn amusements than ever te-'hv fore, but beneficial lessons are to betjoni learned which are vital just at this time when food conservation and food production is of such imprtance. Every farmer boy should go as well as every housekeeper in the State and visit the new womans building. The fair belongs to the people and Presi dent Everett will spend his resource-'for fulness in making it a grand meeting place for North Carolinians. Edsecomb Farmers Selling Hogs "Xorth Carolina farmers have a better market for hogs than the far mers of the Central West have" This striking declaration was made by Mr. L. W. Shook of Edgecombe coun ty, who was in attendance at the State Farmers Convention in Ral-. e;ph. Mr. Shook ought to know what he is talking .about because he rais es and sells several car loads of hogs evry year. The Richmond and Bal t:more markets pay 50c to 75c per li'ir.dred pounds more for hogs than the ( hicago markets according to Mr. Shink. observation. It will surprise most North Caro lina people to know that farmers of Edgecombe county have shipped dur-R-' the last twelve months 30 car "ds of hogs, generally 80 to 100 5 to $4,000, depending upon the v.e l'hn ,,f the animals.

Of the major cases, including spinal and joint tubercular troubles, 46 per cent can be cured. University News Letter.

ANOTHER LIBERTY LOAN Next Liberty Loan Compaign Runs Through October May Advertise The Same. The opening of the next liberty loan campaign has been set tentatively by the treasury department for October 1. - Subscription books will close No vember 1 unless the program is alter ed. The amount, the interest rate, the denominations of the bonds and other details will be announced after Congress disposes of the pending bond bill. Indications are that the next of fering will approximate $3,000,000, 000. Whether it will be advertised by the government through paid newspaper space is under considera tion, but Secretary McAdoo said the cost of such an undertaking would exceed the appropriation now avail able for the purpose. He added that there could be no action until more light had been received as to the cost of an effective advertising campaign and until Congress had decided what amount will be allowed for advertis ing for future issues. CHILI) LABOR LAY Is Held Unconstitutional by Judges James E. Boyd in Western N. C. District. Federal Judge James E. Boyd, of the western district of North Caro lina, Friday held the Keating-Owen child labor law unconstitutional and enjoined the United States district at torney, William C. Hammer, and his "successors, assistants, deputies and agents" from enforcing in the dist rict the provisions of the act of Con gress which were to become operative Saturday. The decision of Judge Boyd came at the conclusion of three days of argument on the constitutionality of the act. The attack on the constitutionality of the federal child labor law came before Judge Boyd on injunction pro ceedings brought by Roland P. Da- genhart and his minor sons, Reuben and John, of Charlotte, who sought to restrain the Fidelity Manufacturing company from discharging the two boys from the company's cotton mills at Charlotte. FIRST DRAFTED MEN Five Per Cent of Cleveland's Quota Leaves Friday for Columbia, S. C.

A Near Accident Saturday afternoon, near the Cen tral Hotel, there occurred a small ac cident, which could easily have been fatal. A man from Ellenboro was driving a car which collided with a Mr. Green of South Shelby, who sustained minor injuries. It seems that the car struck him while in action knocking him to one side, thereby saving him from serious harm. Send The Star to Soldiers Let The Star follow your soldier hov.

(Signed,) MRS. J. C. SMITH, rresmeni BUILDING FOR FAIR ' : .. .'.' Erecting New Buildings for Big Gas ton Fair to be Held in October. Special to The Star: Gastonia, Sept. 1. There is no bus ier, place in Gastonia than at the grounds of The Big Gaston County Fair. The 1916 fair was housed in tents, with the exception of the cat tle, pigs and houses which had splen did equipment. On account of the tent people being unable to secure army duck because of the demand in equipping our troops, The Big Gaston County Fair which will be held Oct. 9-13th, was face to face with either not holding a fair, or going to the tremendous cost of building perma nent buildings. It was quickly decid ed to erect three new buildings, one 60 feet wide by 250 ft.long that would hold the field crops, fancy work, cooking 'and canning, mercantile ex hibite, manufacturers display, com munity fair exhibits, and miscellane ous exhibits, another building 60 ft. wide by 250 ft. long will house the school exhibits of Gaston, Lincoln and Cleveland counties as well as the corn club, canning club and home demonstration club exhibits of Gas ton, Lincoln and Cleveland counties as well as the corn club, canning club and home demonstration club exhibits of Gaston, Cleveland and Lincoln counties, also, in this building will be the free rest room for the conven ience of the thousands of lady pat rons. A modern poultry building, 45 ft. wide by 80 feet long will house the poultry of North and South Carolina. In addition to this the pig barn is being increased by half, with a num ber of changes and additions both to the horse and cattle barn. When this work is done The Big Gaston Cunty Fair will have the largest and most complete exhibition halls and barns of any fair in the Carolinas, except the two state fairs. THE PRICE OF BREAD Cheaper Broad is Unlikely Best Public May Expect is Pound for Dime. Washington, Aug. 31. Prospects nf on onrlv anrt rnrlieal reduction in breaa prices apparently vanisnea to night when Herbert Hoover, the food administrator, announced that the best the public may expect is a six teen ounce loaf for ten cents or pos sibly eight cents. The eight cent loaf of sixteen ounces is possible, Mr. Hoover said, only if bakers, retailers and consumers unite to eliminate wasteful distribution methods and co operate to obtain a standardized loaf. The price of family . flour, Mr. Hoover said, should be reduced at the present priceof wheat at least two or three dollars a barrel. Bakers' flour will sell little cheaper than at present C. I. Corby, who is serving for the bakers of the country as a voluntary aide to Mr. Hoover, said tonight that A sixteen ounce loai lor ten cents would represent a slight reduction in present prices. Standardizing, he said, would be hard to bring about, since varying costs in ingredients that go into bread have made it nec esary to increase or reduce the size of the loaf. No move will be maie toward3 price reduction, Mr. Corby said until the food administration has announc ed its plans for dealing with the bak ing industry. It may be a month be fore the program is ready, it was earned tonight. Pope Touched by Wilson's Reply Rome, Aug. 3. (Delayed) After President Wilson's answer to Pope Rpnedirt's npace DroDosals was pre sented at 12:30 p. m. by the British minister at the atican, Consignor Cerretti, newly-appointed assistant secretary of state, immediately took the document to the Pope.
