folks. You can make it just what
you want it to be. If the people
come, if they enter into it with the
determination to make it such it
will be a great success. Providence
has bountifully blessed the labors
of us all this year. The material
is in the homes and on the farms
of this county. to make an exhibit
bition that will be second to none
in this nation. 1t is the duty of
every man. woman and child to see
to it that the exhibits are at the
Fair. To succeed will be source of
JOY and pride to us all. The JOUR-
NAL has unbounded confidence in
the people of this county. We be-
lieve that they will make the Jack
son County Fair of 1914 a monu-
mental success, setting record
that to reach the people of another
county will be obliged to get up
early in the morning and hustle.

drinking real cider and that so
commonly offered on fair grounds.
Arrangements will also be made
with the various organizations ,serv-
ing lunches to offer a baked apple,
a most toothsome delicacy, with
every lunch, or an apple pie or
flap jack-in fact apples in every
conceivable form.
EXHIBIT PARCEL POST PACK
AGES.
Special attention will be given to
the advantages that the the parcel
post offers to the apple growers in
selling direct to the consumer. All
forms of packages for this purpose
will be on exhibition. 1t will be ar
ranged, too, that any visitor can
give his order for such quantity as
he wishes to be sent to him direct
from the apples on exhibition, and
they will be sent without delay.
The Norfolk and Western Road has
been making large use of the in
creased mailing facilities offered by
the parcel post. which has already
proven of great assistance to the
Virginia farmers, whose example is
we'll worthy of imitation in this
State.
No pains will be spared to en-
phasize the advantages offered to
the growers of all fruits to preserv
these against the rainy day and al
SO to cut down the waste through
decay, which is one of the heaviest
drains on the possible profits of
successful orcharding. There will
be full exhibits of all canned and
preserved fruits and ARRANGEMENTS
will likewise be made for the sale
of these in order.
DISTRIBUTE APPLE BULLETINS.
And to further popularize the
growing of apples there will be dis :
tributed bulletins giving them many
ways in which they may be pre-
pared and how and where to grow
them. The real men will all be
asked to have their offerings of or
chards listed for distribution so
that any who are interested III
planting fruit trees will be given
every opportunity to ascertain the
best place to 90 and also the best
methods to pursue.
1t is proposed to make this exhi-
bit in every sense of the word con-
tribute to the large use of North
Carolina apples here in this State.
In order to have these plans fully
carried out, Mr.. Fooshe will take a
trip into the apple-growing section
within the next few days for the
purpose of securing exhibits. And
then later he will attend the several
fairs in Western North Carolina for
the purpose of getting the very best
OF their exhibits for the State Fair.
In addition to this general exhi-
DIT in the horticultural department,
there will be the exhibits of fruits
in the exhibit of the North Carolina
Department of Agriculture under
the supervision of Prof. w. N. HUT,
which will serve largely to empha-
size the Importance of the apple
crop to the Old North State.
1t will pay every North Carolinian
to come to the State Fair October
1874, to see the big apple exhibit,

Marine valley leads to the deep open
ing between the Ardennes and the
northern Vosges, while the valley Of
the Disc is the logical highroad from
Belgium.
History has emphasized repeatedly
how all roads along these valleys make
naturally relatively easy paths for ap-
proach to Paris from the east and
north, and the military problem is, ac-
cordingly, that of defending these
somewhat narrowed lanes by which
the traditional foe must come.

Could Kaiser Hold Paris?

The strategic significance of the Pa
risian defenses has been materially al
tered by the developments since war
was declared. Undoubtedly the unex-
pected opposition on the part of the
Belgtans and the British cooperation
with the French have added to the
gravity of the problem confronting the
kaisers general staff because the in
cident delays have given the Russians
the time in which to effect their com
plete mobilization.
Somehow the wheels of the Russian
organization have moved faster than
was believed possible by General Won
Moltke and his associates of the
kaisers general staff. and the question
now is: Can the Germans effectually
invest Paris even should they be able
to force their way to the military ell
Vlrons of that city? Won't the Ger
mans have to withdraw more troops to
check the sudden advance of the vast
armies of Russia than was first imag-
1ned? Would this leave a sufficient
force to hold the French in check
around Paris?
The Brattleboro daily reformer. (Brattleboro, Vt.) 1913-1955, 1914-09-05

The Notifications of Paris consist
of three distinct circles sweeping
around the city-frst, the solid wall
of masonry IS feet high, extending for
- miles around the ola sections Of
Paris; second, the system Of l. dctach-
ed forts arranged at intervals, two
miles beyond the wall, and making a
circuit Of the city 81 miles long; and,
third, an outer girdIe of forts - miles
long on tine heights commanding the
valley of the Seine. Each of these cir
clos Of masonry and steel is complete
defence in itself, the forts being link
ed together with redoubts, with has
ton and glacis, which permits a cross
fire against approaches from any dircc-
tion. The magnitude of the system is
shown by its area, which extends over
100 square miles.

road which connects with all the forts,
and has spurs connecting it with the
places designed for field fortifications
But it is one matter for the besieger
to pass through the intervals and take
the city and another to take the forts.
They are as a rule protected by barbed
Wire entanglements, intended to delay
the charging infantry, and to hold it
under fire from the fort and from
trenches Immediately protecting the
fort. After the barbed wire has been
cut or blown up by land torpedoes,
built especially to smash such obstruc-
tons, the charging columns have to
pass over mined ground. The usual
mines are fougasSes. explosives fired
electrically from the fort. which throw
tons of rock or other missiles into the
air. If these barriers are surmounted
the charging troops must face q coun-
ter charge from infantry held in

armies remained intact the country
would not be beaten. And even should
the allies fail to keep the Germans in
check still the biggest task is ahead
of the kaisers troops. The investment
of Paris would prove n vastly different
proposition from that which the sol
diers of the fatherland had to nego-
tate forty-three years ago; the French
have prepared for this second coming

Natural Advantages.

Paris enjoys an enormous advantage
strategtcally because of natural con-
ditions, and the French military en-
gineer has ayailed himself of all of
these typographical accidents. Paris
lies at the confluence of three rivers
the Seine. the Marine and the Disc
and it is by the valleys of these three
streams that the enemy would have
to come when advancing into France
from the northern and eastern from
tiers. The valley of the Seine trends
directly to the historic gap of Bel
fort" which stands between the Swiss
Jura and the southern Vosges. The
