GREAT INTEREST BEING SHOWN
IN FAIR TO BE AT AsHEYILLE.
Numerous Entries Being Received
From Various Sections Of Western
Carolina Success Predicted.

Asheville, N. C.-The large amuse-
ment grounds at Riverside park have
been put in readiness for the fourth
annual session of the Western North
Carolina Fair. and ample accommoda-
lions have been provided for the ex-
hibits in the various classes, the
amusement features. the convenience
OF the visitors and the parking of ,au-
tomobiles and hitch and feed lot for
horses.
With the date for the fair but a
snort time off, the MANAGEMENT is re-
celV1ng scores of entries each day, and
IL appears now that this years exhib.
It's Will be the most varied and COM
prehens1ve ever shown at a fair in
this section of the state. All of the
counties of Western North Carolina
will be represented among the exhibit
tors, and the indications are that
prizes, premiums and ribbons will be
taken to every section of the western
Counties from the Asheville fair.
Never before has as much interest
been shown in the fair as this year,
and the management D that
thousands of visitors will be in at
tendance during the four DAYS of the
annual exhibition, October 10, Ia. Is
and 16. In addition to the many euca.
tional and instructive exhibits. the in
teresting displays by Western North
Carolina manufacture, the spirited
contests of various kinds and the regu-
lar entertainment features, plans have
been made for the most elaborate mid
way ever seen in Western North Car
DINA, and a nightly display of fire
works which promises to draw visitors
from miles around. Both of these de-
Partments are new ones at Western
North Carolina fairs, but they were
secured this year with a view to fur
nlshing more enjoyable forms of en-
tertainment for those who have seen
he exhibits and are DESTROYS of being
amused, as we'll as the visitors who
prefer to be entertained rather than
spend their time going through the
various departments.
Considerable speculation is being
engaged in as to the naming of the
last day of the fair. Educational
Day." Labor Day. and Western
North Carolina Day. sound plausible
enough, but some trouble is being ex-
perienced in finding a name for the
closing day when the management de-
clares that the aid will be charged
With laughing gas and magistrates
will marry young people free Of
charge, The blues will have no chance
&c bloom on the final day, it is declar-
cd, and the management of the fair
association has offered a prize to the
who suggests the best name
for the day. Scores of names already
have been proposed and some of them
sound appropriate. No trouble is an
ticipated in securing a suitable name
for the final day. All. persons regard
less of whether or not they are exhibit
tors Or visitors to the fair are invited
to suggest a name.

HOLDING MARKETABLE EGGS.


The department advises the farmer
who specializes IL marketing eggs TO
market his product frequently. The
farmer often makes US of an egg case
in which to keep his eggs and carry
them to market. Sometimes he owns
the case and sometimes it is furnished
by the storekeeper. Often the case is
one holding 80 dozen eggs, and as
there is a tendency to wait Until tie
a is filed, which takes considera-
bic time with the average-sized flock
before taking it to market, the quail
ity of some of the eggs will have suf-
fered appreciably. Fifteen-dozen size
cases are also used for this pur-
pose and are much preferable, as they
encourage more frequent marketing.
Another factor which influences the

The Henderson CountyFTeachers as
sociation in monthly session Saturday

Remarks on the benefit of such d
commencement to- the educational

adopted the plan without a dissenting
vote.
Prof. 1. C. Griffin, superintendent of
city schools of Marion, substituted for
Prof. D. F. Giles of Marion, who could
not be present to fill his place on the
program. Professor Griffin spoke in

frequencyaof marketing is the distance
of the farm from the village or coun-
try store. The greater the distance,
the less often are the trips made, ana
consequently the less convenient it IS
to market eggs frequently.
The department has made inYestiga-
.tiens on 80 Kansas farms to discover
how the distance from market infu-
ences the frequency of marketing eggs.
Twenty-six of the farmers sent their
eggs twice a week to market, 81 sent
them once a week, and 3qonly once in
two weeks.

ECZEMA
IS DRIED RIGHT
UP WITH SULPHUR
Use like cold cream to Subdue
irritation and clear
the skin.

Constant or intermittent irritation
producing itching and red. angry
Eczema patches on the skin is readily
relieved with bold-sulphur cream.
The moment it is applied the itching
stops and the healing begins, says
a noted dermatologist.
1t effects such prompt relief, even
In aggravated Eczema, that it is a
never-ending source of amazcmeut to
physicians.
For many years bold-sulphur cream
has occupied a secure position in the
treatment of cutaneous eruptions by
reason of its cooling, parasite-destroy-
ing properties. 1t is not only para
siticidal but also antipruritic and
antiseptic and nothing has ever been
found to take it's place in overcom-
tions OF the skin. While not always
establishing a permanent cure, yet IN
every instance it instantly stops the
agonizing itching: subdues the !rrita-
ton and heals the infamed raw
skin right UP and IL Is often years
later before any Eczema eruption
again appears.
Those troubled should get from any
pharmacist an ounce of bold-sulphur
cream and apply 1t directly upon the
affected skin like you would any
ordinary cold cream. 1t isn't un-
pleasant and the prompt relief af-
forded is very welcome, particularly
when the Eczema is accompanied with
itching-Advt.

1t is rather disconcerting to talk
TO the Health department statis-

House Judiciary Committee by

Stir.

Nothing which has occurred hitherto
this session has caused so much con-
sternation among members of the
House cnd Senate as the action of the
House judiciary Committee in report
ing out the Hobson prohibition amend
ment and the Mondell woman suffrage
amendment.
The Judiciary Committee practically
says b. this action that it refuses to
be made the goat" 1t insists the
1Aouse itself must meet the issues.
For years the Judiciary Committee
has been regarded as sort of con-
venient graveyard for legislation not
desired by the leaders of the ma
jority in Congress. In this case, the
members of the committee are not de-
sirous of being used in the customary
fashion.
With the resolutions on the calen-
dar. 1t will not be easy to prevent a
test vote on them. 1t is true, the
opponents OF prohibition and OF suf-
frage will do a lot of parliamentary
maneuvering to try TO prevent votes.

AS n matter of fact, it has been
recognized for some months that il
would not be long until the House
was forced to vote on both these
issues. Members have been hoping it
would be avoided until the short ses-
sion and, perhaps. until the next
Congress. But It looks doubtful, in
the light of the Judiciary Committee 8

prohibition do succeed in stallinC off

embarrassing to a candidate for re-

Writer'S cramn a Misnomsr.

Medical authorities now claim that
writer's cramp" and other similar
states of apparent muscular paralysis
are actually due, not to the firing of
the muscles, but to brain fag. 1t ap-
pears that the particular part Of the
brain which controls special combina-
tons of muscle action, such as the
movements of writing or the working
OF a telegraph key, tends to become
more quickly exhausted in some indi-
viduals than in others Such exhaus.
ton leads to a state in which the
brain Is actually unable to send out
its necessary messages TO the hands
and fingers to write, tap key, hold
violin bow, etc. Furthermore, once
the nerve cells, the batteries" of the
brain, get thoroughly run down, it is
not easy to restore their energy. Here
tofore 1t has been supposed that all
troubles of the kind were due simply
to everything of the muscles con-
cerned.
