TEN THOUSAND BOYS WANTED,
Wilmington Star.)


Mr.. T. 3. Browne, Of Ahoskie. N. c.,
director of the Boys Corn Club work
n this State, is already beginning the
corn growing campaign for 1916. He
wants 10000 North Carilina boys, and
t is to be hoped he will head such .
corn growers army in the great cause
which he is SO zealously promoting
The corn club boys have demon
strated the wonderful adaptability Of
North Carolina for corn growing and
lhe purpose If it all is to make an
asset of corn production instead OF al
experiment. The experimental stage
mas passed, for the demonstration has
Eeen so astounding in its results that
it is vitality important for every farmer
IN North Carolina to do as well, or
even one-fourth as well. as sixteen
year-old farmer boy.
The value of the demonstration will
be nil if intensive corn growing does
not result as rapidly as possible
throughout the State. The boys culti-
vate only one acre, so 1000 boys al
together will be Just that many sue
cessful units in further emphasizing
the fact that 100 or more bushels OF
| corn can be grown on an acre any,
! where in Tarhelia. The fathers Of the
boys in the State or some neighbor
can provide the boys with an acre Of
ground, and for that matter they
should enter into a generous rivalry
with the youthful corn scientists.
| The corn club boys have made q
marvellous record during the past few
years and now there is disposition
to encoura &c them In every possible
way. AS demonstrants the boys have
made good and they are wanted t.
take the lead along other lines az

OUR CITY's BANKS
THE BEST BAROMETER OF THE
COMAUNITY'S FINANCIAL
PROWESS.

The best barometer of any COM
munity's financial standing, which is
always the mud sill of Industrial pro-
gress and the bulwark of permanent
prosperity, is the showing of its banks.
The already published official
statements of Goldsboro's three COM
cercial banking institutions - the
Wayne National Bank, the National
Bank OF Goldsboro, and the Peoples
Bank. and each separately makes a
showing that Is not only most credit
able to its administration and busi-
ness growth, but also to the acumen
OF its officials and their ability to get
and hold business; while in the aggre-
gate the volume OF their deposits and
the scope OF their activities will COM
pare with any community In the coun-
try and excel any in the State, thus
proving anew the already unquestion-
able and unehallenged claim of the
Argus that we've got The Best Town
in the State.
The aggregate showing of these
three banks approaches nearly two
and half million dollars, and yet
within the career OF the Argus time
was when Goldsboro had only a branch
hank of the Bank Of New Hanover, at
| Wilmington.
We go forward.

strength Of 10000 men.
The proposed movement probably
would include the Fourth. Seventh

COUNTY FAIR
TO Be RARE TREAT
No Fee at the Gate and Ex-
hibit Space Free; Great
Education.
Single Judge System to Be
Used in Making the
Many Awards.

Although practically everybody in
Tulsa county now is aware that the
Tulsa county free fair Is to be held
here September 1917, it is possible
there are few who are yet unaware
of the true object Of this gigantic un-
dertaking.
In Offering the unusually valuabl.
premiums for exhibits, the sole object
Is cooperation and education that
harmony may prevail and the earning
capacity Of every industry in the
county doubled during the next few
years.
Inc fair will be conducted by the
people Of Tulsa county under the new
fair bill passed during the last ses-
sion OF the state legislature The man
agement is in the hands Of a board
or directors, two elected from each
township. The active management
lies with an executive committee
elected by the township directors.
Financed by the state.
The fair will be financed by the
state. There will be no charge at the
gate and no fees will be realized for
representing any branch of
industry inside the county. Exhibit
tors Of the county will be given their
space Tree or charge in the Oru r OF
their application, but the executive
committee has the right to refuse
space to any prospective exhibitor for
any reason.
Farmers are particularly invited to
join with the merchants and manu-
facturerg in making the fair a sue
cess through the proper interchange
OF Information regarding their Vari-
Gus lines Of business.
The premium list this year greatly
exceeds all former lists, both i'm the
Of money offered and the ad-
ditional prizes In the past prizes
had been offered only for farm prod
ucts, including but limited amount
of live stock. This year all these
branches Of industry are included. as
well as all the usual lists of farm
prizes.
Exhibits Of manufacturers from
outside the county will be heartily
welcome. but it is the intention to
charge small fee and they cannot
enter for prizes.
Single Judge system.

To work the same game within such
a short distance from Oklahoma
City.
Thousands Lost Here
Through bogus checks and forgcries
Tulsa business men, and not mfre-
quently the banks cf this city, lose
thousands of dollars annually This is
i'm spite Of repeated warnings. Much
of the days business here is trans
acted with the aid Of checks, which
probably accounts for the apparent
willingness with which business folk

or attempting TO pass bad checks.
Police have special orders to look for
just such persons, and, although they
are successful in many instances.
there are just as many Inn which those
guilty Of this kind Of outlawry go I'M

Mr.. Rayson's advice to members of
the Retail Merchants association is
Don't cash q check without YOU

ing the money or until he has been
satisfactorily Identified" This is the
only way embarrassment may be pre-
vented I'm Mr. Rayson's opinion

to divulge IT, as they have no desire
TO be singled out as an easy mark"
upon which other crooks possibly
would direct their attention.
Therefore, the only safe way TO
