The Joys That Got Away.

Copyright l92l by Edgar A. GuesI)
This NE Is like fishin' trip,
or so It seems TO me;
Beside a stream we SIT and dream
And hope Tor Joys 20 be,
OF varying sizes are the fish
We've caught at close OF day,
But though their meat was good To eat
The best ones got away
A goodly string of fish I've caught
TO more than fill the pan,
But always ] have passed them by
Just like my fellow man
And overlooked the meal they meant,
This sorry line to say:
~ should he glad n l but had
The ones that got away
I've caught run many a JOY In life,
My string Of smiles Ia long
I've had my share of weather fair
And happiness and song,
The years have kindly dealt with me
And Oft have let me play,
But sull I've thought ! should have caught
The JOY that got away.
Teach me to value what | win,
Nor sigh for what | miss
And let me smile and count worth while
My present store OF bliss;
At last when homeward shall turn
And lfe!ess lies my clay.
I'd not deplore or grumble DER
The joys that got away.

There was IL to 10 inches more
moisture in the soil the first Of

official state bureau statistics, Mr..
Avery said. so the excess moisture
supplied by the more than four
inches Of rain since Sunday Is super
fluous. The oats and barley are in
and the spring seeding is done
though. and the only direct effect
the rain will have on the farm work
is delay in the planting of corn. As
spring plowinE has been done uu-
usually early this year, and corn Is
not generally in until April /. this
makes no material difference. what
is true OF this part OF the state as

virtually true of the entire south

MORRISON 0RfaS
1921 STATE FAIR
MRS. VANDERBILT, PRESIDENT
or FAIR ASSOCIATION IN.
rRopucEp THE SPEAKER.
NOTABLE AGRICULTURAL SHOW
Ono Exhibit, From One Farm Alone Is
Composed Of More Than Three
Hundred Separate Items.
Raleigh.

Governor Morrison opened the six.
tieth annual session of the North Car
olina State Fair with a short speech
in. which he called attention to the
enviable position the State occupies
in the industrial and agricultural sta
tistics Of the United States. The Gov
ernor's speech followed brief intro
duction by Mrs. George w. Wander
but of iBltmore, president.
Outstanding among the myriad fea'
lures that make the Sixtieth Fair mo-
table are the dozen county agricul-
tural exhibits, recruited from every
section OF the State, from far west
Haywood with its magnificent show
ing of grains and grasses and fruits
and pumpkins, down through the Pied
mont and the Sandhills, to away east
and Craven county with its 12-pound
sweet potatoes, and such like things.
Scarcely less impressive are the
equal number of individual exhibits,
wonderful collections of the things
that can be grown on one farm, one
exhibit running as high as three hun
dred different items. Altogether they
completely fill the two buildings just
below the Arts and Crafts building,
and judges upon whom devolves the
task Of appraising them must needs
knit their brows before decision
comes, or else toss up coin.

is GREAT NEED FOR TEACHERS
"onIy Through Ever Expsndlno Facll.
tiles Can We Turn Out Product
of Disciplined Minds"

Williamsburg, Va. - Declaring the
nation confronts an educational cri.
sis" through lack of teachers and pub
lie school facilities President Hard.
ing appealed In an address here for
patriotic support of an educational
system commensurate with national
resources.
Mr.. Harding spoke before a gather.
ing of students and alumni Of the
College of William and Mary,
1T is no exaggeration," said Presi-
dent Harding ito say the nation con-
fronts an educational crisis, From
every corner Of the land from country,
town and city, comes the same report
that the housing capacity for our pub
lie schools is inadequate; that tens
of thousands of pupils have no place
for their studies; that teachers can
not be listed In sufficient numbers,
and that school revenues are insuffi-
cient. It may be said that, in this
realm of education, we have been
drawing on our capital, instead Of
spending the annual increment only;
we have been taking the teachers
away from the schools, and leaving
constantly increasing deficit in our
capacity to tnrn out that product OF
disciplined minds which only can be
insured through ever expanding facil-
tiles.

A PUBLICATION OF
GENUINE INTEREST
THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS THAT
FORMERLY LEFT STATES
NOW STAY AT HOME.
4 COMPLETE SHOPPING LIST
Observer Printing House Has Decided
to Publish Immediately Revised
and Enlarged Edition Of 10000,

Charlotte, N. c. - A publication
which is resulting in keeping at home
of tens of thousands of dollars that
formerly went out of the Carolinas to
the manufacturers of other states is
the Carolina Shopping List, which was
published co-incident with the Made
in.Carolinas Exposition by the Ob-
server Printing House at Charlotte,
according to reports from every Sec
ton OF the Carolinas.
This shopping list contains the most
complete list of Carolina Manufactur-
ers ever compiled. 1t was distributed
by the Charlotte concern without cost
and is now being consulted by thous-
ands OF merchants throughout the two
states who are coming to see the ad-
vantage of trading at home when
goods of the same quality can be Sc
cured at as low or lower cost than
they can be secured elsewhere. The
booklet was distributed through and
to Chambers Of Commerce, libraries,
merchants associations and other civ
ic institutions and also to merchants
and consumers.
The reception to the shopping list
has been such that the Observer
Printing House has decided to publish
Immediately a revised and enlarged
edition, of which 10000 copies will be
distributed. The cost of compilation,
printing and distribution will not be
less than $4,000, but the booklets
will be delivered free by the enter
prising Charlotte establishment.

RAILROAD STRIKES
MAY Be PENAL|zED
PROPOSITION is CONSIDERED
FOR DRASTIC AMENDMENT
TO EscH-cUMMlNS LAW.
PRESENT Law IS INADEQUATE
Public Opinion Is Depended Upon by
President to Provide the Penalty
Without Resort to the Courts.

Washington. - Having In mind all
Eventualities, the administration is
canyassing the alternatives in the
event that strike should be persist
ed in after the Railway Labor Board
has done all that 1t can to adjust the
controversy. For the fact is the Escn'
Cummins law, which created the La
Dor Board, did not provide penalties
for violations of its decisions. Presi'
dent Harding hopes that public opin'
ion will provide the penalty-that re-
course to the courts will be unneces-
sary. Needless to say that would be
a solution more in harmony with the
wishes of the President than any 9TH
err That's why he dismisses as pre-
mature all proposals which take into
consideration a possible violation by
the unions OF the mandate Of the rail
way board
Nevertheless. there is a well defined
feeling in administration quarters
which recognizes that some kind OF
policy must be pursued If, indeed,
public opinion does not compel re-
spect for the decisions OF the Railway
Labor Board. The policy unquestion-
ably will be an amendment to the
Esch- Cummins law imposing fines and
Imprisonment on all persons convict
ed of melting strikes or lockouts in
defiance OF the decisions of the Unit
ed States Railroad Labor Board. Such
drastic step is inevitable if strike
should be called,

Comment ON HUN .
CABINET CHANGES
ANEW MINISTRY WILL BE OF NO
' NO GREAT IMPORTANCE Is
VIEW EXTERNALLY.
COUNTING ON PROCLAMATION
Next Payment on ReparatIons VIII be
Met, but Doubt Exists as to That
Failing Due In March.

Washington. - Germany's cabinet
changes are purely political and not
economic.
Unless the new Chancellor adopts
an attitude Of hostility toward fulfill
ment of German obligations to the AL
lies, the new ministry will be of no
particular importance externally.
This is the view taken In Washing
ton where the approaching proclama-
tion of peace between Germany and
the United States is counted upon to
help any new ministry shows the same
good faith as did Chancellor Wirth In
attempting to meet reparation pay
ments.
The cabinet change in Germany
comes at critical moment. The next
payment due the Allies from Germany
is November Is. Official reports have
indicated for some time that Germany
would pay the installment due next
month though there has been some
doubt about her ability to meet the
next one in March. The feeling here,
however, has been that II the German
cabinet were properly supported 1t
would be able to consolidate the var
ious elements in the situation so as
TO get by the March payment too.

MEETING WIDELY ADVERTISED.
Similar Gatherings Are Advertised to
Be Held at Lille. Bordeaux, Lyons,
st. Nazalre and Other Places.

Paris. - Seven policemen were in
jured by the explosion of bomb
thrown into a crowd in Wagram ave-
nue. during meeting held by the
French communist party in protest
against the conviction for murder in
Massachusetts of the Italians Sacco
and Vanzetti. Several of the mani
festants were hurt and six persons
were arrested charged with disorderly
conduct.
The meeting had been widely adyer-
tised as protest against the Ameri'
can government, capitalists and the
execution" OF Sacco and Vanzetti. The
speakers were bitter in their vituper-
alton of the American government
and expressed execration of American
capitalists.
It was openly announced that the
Nantes communists will hold a mani
festation before the American consul
late there.
Similar displays were announced
for Lille, Bordeaux, Marseilles. St. Ma
zaire, Lyons and at other places, wher-
ever the American government is rep
resented.
The demonstration which, accord.
ing to police information, was to be
held in front Of the American am
bassy here, did not develop.

Meeting Of Farmers. Union.

Moetin9 OF Farmors OntoHs
A half dozen matters Of vital inter.
est will receive attention OF the State
Farmers union at its annual conven-
ton In Raleigh November 16, II and
Is, and chief among these is expected
to be the ever-present problem of tax
alton.
The farmers are always interested
in this subject, and taxation talk has
not ceased since first steps towards
reyaluation were taken. There has
been only an intimation that this
will be the big subject, but the stating
OF .. w. Bailey, who thinks taxation
day ana night, for speech before the
convention is taken as a positive an
nouncement that the farmers want to
hear all they can about 1t.
Although the union, numerically, is
not as strong as 1t was few years
ago, members believe the organiza-
tion a more potent and influential one
than at any time In its history. The
membership, which numbers around
10000, is made up largely of the most
influential and substantial farmers OF
the state. Governor Morrison has
