MORE ABOUT
THE SCHOOL FAIR

The time for the Randolph Coun'
ty School Faur Is fast approaching,

tentioL Of teachers, pupils aud pa
irons to the importance Of this Fair
aud urge their presence at same
October 9 aud S. Ii any one in'
terested failed 70 receive a "Program
aud regulations" folder, same may
be obtained By notifying the County
Examiner. The importance OF
these EXHIBITS and contests can
hardly be over estimated. II gives
pupils, patrons and teachers an OPP
portunIly to learn what other
schools are doing, thereby getting
ideas beneficial TO all concerned.
And then, too, the social feature
should not be overlooked anymore
than should the good derived from
the inspiration gaiued at such meets
The Entertainment Committee
will see that all who come will be
properly cared for aud hopes to have
several hundred children, parents
and teachers here during the days
of the fair. The people Of Pooa'
hontas have already shown their
interest ia this school rally by sub
scribing so literally and in such
numbers to the expense fund, and
it is hoped every one who Is inter
ested IN the cause OF education will
share in the advantages Of this raj
ly and help to make it all a good
fair should be. We realize this as
an educational feature u somewhat
new to many Of the people Of the
county. but such fairs are held in
every county III all our leading ed.
ucational states and this Is but one
more move to put us'nearsr the de-
sired goal. So let Us all enter into
this work with enthusiasm.
Some Of the schools may close
before the date of their fair, but
this need not interfere with those
schools entering, for the work can
be prepared and contestants selected
before school closes. Then send it
in as per instructions ard arrange
to have contestants present. BE
sure to read regulations carefully.

Patent Law Association
Makes Change in Name

At meeting yesterday OF the Patent
Law Association of Washington in the
Washington Loan and Trust building,
the name of the organization was
changed to THE American Patent Law
Association" and provision was made
for the organization of advisory coun-
ellis in different localities throughout
the United States.
1t was pointed out that for num-
ber of years the members residing out
side the District have exceeded those
living here. and that within the past
year the growth in the nonresident
membership has been so large that now
FLY two-thirds of the membership are
non-residents. 1t was decided that the
American Patent Law Association
would be a more appropriate name since
the organization has now become really
national in scope.
The proposed advisory councils will
be- It is believed. of great advantage
to the association in carrying on Its
work in connection with matters per-
tain'ng to legislation and administration
relating to the patent system.
Officers of the association are: Ernest
w Bradford, president; Frank L
Browne. first vice president: ]. H.
Brickenstein. second vice president;
Eugene G. Mason, secretary. and Lang
don Moore, treasurer.
