coastal sections of North Carolina

areas are reported by the county

vice for the week ending October 10,
1921. The weather Bureau reports
favorable weather for cutting hay
and late forage crops.
Preparations for sewing wheat are
going forward and fall plowing is
making satisfactory progress. The
harvesting of corn is well under way,
the crop being entirely harvested in
many areas. Most of the cotton crop
Iof the state is open now owing to
the unusually warm weather in Sep
tember and the crop is being gather
ed rapidly. The marketing Of tobacco
which is practically ali harvested, is
in full swing; sales are reported as
moderate. Late gardens are being
planted in some of the southern pied
mont counties and truck is reported
to have improved in Forsyth, but
the crop generally is poor. "A great

MUSICAL ATTRACTIONS
COMING TO RALEIGH.

Raleigh. Oct. 15-With six big
musical events following the Fail
Week Concerts OF Titta Ruffo and
Frances Aida, music lovers of North
Carolina will soon be making plans
to attend the series of concerts pro-
yided for the coming season by the
Park Musical Bureau.
Beginning with Ricardo Martin
famous tenor of the Metropolitan Op-
era Company and Covent Garden of
London, who appears on November 3,
and continuing until March 4, when
Anna Pavlowa comes with her re-
markable Ballet Russo and Russian
Symphony Orchestra, a most con-
spicuous array of musical talent will
be heard in Raleigh. Reinald Werren-
rath, famous baritone, who shared
honors here with Geraldine Farrar
three years ago, comes on December
16; Rachmaninoff, pianist, on Janu-
ary 9. Anna Case, soprano of Metro
politan Opera Company on February
13, and Sousa with his band on Feb
ruary 27.
These six concerts comprise a ver-
satile group of musical talent that
could hardly be surpassed. Six entire
1y different kinds of events are pro-
vided, enough to satisfy the average
persons musical entertainment for
an entire season. The artists were sell
ected through cooperation with the
several school and colleges of Raleigh,
whose patronage and encouragement
have aided the Park organization for
the past seven years in bringing the
best available music talent to the
Raleigh Auditorium where vast audi
ences may be entertained and in
structed at low cost per person, a
condition that is possible in only the
comparatively few cities with such
facilities.
Arrangements have been made to
provide season tickets for the six
concerts at rates even lower than the
pre-war charges that have been set
for single concerts. At saving of 20
per cent or more, season tickets are
offered, just one purchase being re-
quired to secure the same seats for
all six concerts, all at one time.
These season tickets go on sale

thing went fine during the recess OF
Congress but the new tax program
has knocked the bottom out of the
governments aspirations. And the
awkward part of the situation is that
the executive branch of the govern
ment which is trying hard to bring
about a business revival is handicap
ped by the attitude of members OF
Congress who are mostly concerned
with a bill that looks well in print,
measure that seems to relieve the
moderate incomes but ''soaks" the
people with capital. The viewpoint
of the former is economic, the latter
is purely political. President Harding
alone can reconcile the two and be-
fore the tax program is finally COM
pleted, his Intervention is expected
so that a bill may be framed not for
the benefit of a class but the whole
country.

A Notable Business Lecture Coming
Arrangements have been made by
the Business men of Minot to bring to
this city on Friday, Nov. II at 8
o'clock in the Association Of Com
merce Rooms the most famous Ame-
rican Business Lecture on the plat
form: "Getting the Most Out of Re.
tailing."
Under this head, Mr.. w. H. Farley,
well known business expert and busi-
ness organizer, will discuss the vari-
Gus questions that are Of special in
terest to merchants and business men
everywhere. He will show how
cooperation and organization will
make for better community and city.
He will show practical improvements
in service and store organization that
will please the general public and
draw trade. He will show how prop
er advertising will change losses into
profits, how systematic, continuous,
newspaper advertising pays the larg-
est dividends Of all, how system en-
ables merchant to know at all times
of guessing.
With the aid Of several thousand
feet of moving picture film, Mr.. Far.
ley will give most interesting and
timely discussion.
It isn't theory. It isn't over the
heads of people. 1t is solid horse
sense applied to merchandising.
Practical, every day, solid experience
given in this way with lecture and
pictures makes a double impression
through the eye and the ear-that is
sure to be of lasting benefit to every
business man or sales person who at
tends this lecture.
Every merchant or wife of mer-
chant, every salesman or clerk, every
business man, and all those interested
in seeing Minot become a better
business center should not fail to
hear Mr.. Farley.
A glance at this outline of the lee
ture is sufficient to show it's great
