Mrs. Vanderbilt State Fair Officer

THE thousands of Tar Heels who
1 annually visit'the North Caro-
lima State Fair will find when they
90 to the siXty-first annual fair in
Raleigh from October 16 to October
20 that greater attention has been
paid to their comfort and enter
tainment than ever before.
And, all of this thought and pro-
vision for their satisfaction and
happiness is due primarily not to a
native son or native daughter. but.
in a large measure, to Mrs. Edith
Dresser Vanderbilt widow of
George w. Vanderbilt, who for
many years has been a resident of
the Old North State, for which she
cherishes an extreme fondness.
AS president of the State Fair AS
sociation Mrs. Vanderbilt has given
most generously of her time and
ability in behalf of the people of
North Carolina. She was also
president of the association last
year and during her presidency last
year she brought about almost a
revolutionary change in the State
Fair amusements. Believing that
the old Midway" was detrimental
to the health and happiness of its
habitues and that more whole
some means of amusement could be
provided, she had abolished the
Midway" with it's attendant ca
rousals, gambling and cheap jovial-
ity. In its place she had substi-
tuted special exhibits from even the
remotest parts of the State and
much community entertainment. so
that all of the features that have
made community fairs truly success
full will he found at the State Fair
this year on a greatly enlarged
scale.
Under the direction of Mrs. Van
derbilt arrangements have been
made for cintes;s in community
singing and the singing of folk
songs under the leadership of a
song expert. This should be espe-

cially interesting. for the North
Carolina mountains are remarkably
rich in folklore.
Perhaps there is no one more
modest or more abhorrent of pub
licity than Mrs. Vanderbilt. Indeed
from her one would gather that
she contributes little or nothing TO
the life of North Carolina. but one
hears a very different tale from the
native North Carolinians. They
value her not because she is a wo-
man of fashion and wealth attract
ing to the State many visitors of
wealth and distinction, but because
she is a woman of ability, striking
charm, imagination, generosity. who
takes a keen and sympathetic in
terest in the advancement of the
State in which she spends a large
portion of her time.
MRS. VANDERBILT and her
lNl daughter. Cornelia Wander
bnt, are very much attached to
their beautiful home at Bntmore,
n. c., where they entertain exten-
sively Cornelia, in fact, can be
taken or mistaken for a real North
Carolinian-she even has the Tar
Heel tones and drawl-that is, some
of them. They have had one house
party on top of another all sum-
mer at Biltmore.
Mrs, Vanderbilt. quite uninten-
tionally. of course. and perhaps un-
consciously, has disturbed consid
erably the hearts of the eligible
middle-aged masculine celebrities
of the Old North State. Once ru-

lR the opportunity TO view such
q notable collection of mas
terpieces Of art as that which now
sdorns the walls of the two south
rooms Of the Art Gallery of the
National Museum. For three weeks
or more-that Is. ever since the in
stallation of the John II. McFadden
collection Of British masterpieces
local artists rave been calling to
pay their professional respects to
the work of the great masters and
local lsymen have been calling to
express their admiration in impress
sionistic rather than professional
terms-to recognize a greatness in
phase of art for which they have
not the technical vocabulary for
praise, but which appeals to their
sense of eternal beauty none the
less because unvoiced. .
Among the artists whose work is
exhibited are names that are re-
vered in the realms OF art-such
names as Sir Joshua Reynolds. Tur-
ner. Gainsborough, Romney. Sir
Henry Raeburn. Harlow and Nor

While the collection consists
chiefly Of portraits. there are new,
ertheless a few paintings of town
and country scenes representative
Of English life and history. There
are some historical characters and
some Ladies" and Misses" who

Another historical character Is
John Wesley, the founder OF Meth

is looking out upon the world with
a beautiful confidence and serenity
untouched apparently by any
doubts concerning the origin and
destination of Adam and Eve.
The portrait OF Master Bunbury
by Reynolds. and one Of Master
Thomas Bisland. by Raeburn. are
especially charming. Master Bun
bury Is q lad of 10 or thereabouts,
with a delicate, artistic face; Mas

THE next Alnav dinner at wash

that so many officers are now on

pleased to have these affairs take
place occasionally throughout his
administration. 1t now develops
that owing to the Secretary's OBJ
jectiOns to a demonstration by the
Pacific Fleet upon his return from
Japan. the conclusion was reached
that he did not care to have the
Alnav dinner held as a Homecoming
to him as it was originally pro-
posed. The Secretary's objection to
the demonstration by the fleet upon
his return was that it might inter
fere with the regular program ana
add to the cost of fuel. He is dis
couraging all movements of the
fleet which are not purely military
in their character.

ing Alexander Adm.

Miles Cannon, commissioner O
agriculture, addressed the people o
Oakley last Friday night in the How
ellis opera house. Mr.. Cannon spoi;,
as a farmer to farmers and told
somewhat of the work being carried
on by his department. AS election
day is not far distant, his remarks
had a political significance. The
commission form of government was
defended and the Alexander admin
istration was severely criticised.
In combating the argument thar
the commission form of government
Expresses the taxpayer, Mr.. Cannon
gave figures to show just what per-
centage of the taxes goes to pay for
this form of government. According
to the statistics quoted, only one
and one-half cents out of each dol
lar of taxes is spent on the commits
sion form of government; ten cents
out of each dollar is spent on state
institutions; the remainder of each
dollar goes to the counties, munic-
ipalities, school districts, etc.
Mr.. Cannon stated that the depart
ment of agriculture has been of great
assistance to the state in standard
izing farm products. AS a result of
improved methods Idaho potatoes
have brought the highest prices in
eastern markets. The STANDARDIZED
tion of farm seets has also been a
great benefit.
Mr.. Cannon devoted considerable
time to criticism of the Alexander
administrations, asserting that they
were of the show window variety,
not manufactured to wear well, but
Just to hold their shape and finish
until the term was over.
