the State Fair.
In the Community Building, which
was effectively decorated with dra-
perry of the national colors and A
merican flags, the booths at the en-
trance were occupied by club girls
and women of Lincoln County, and
New Sight School respectively. Fig
preserves for commercial use, pine
Needle baskets and growing plants
were shown in the former by Miss
Eva Legett, home economics agent,
and Miss Burns and milk and dough-
nuts were sold for New Sight School
in the latter
New Sight Schools community ex-
hibit was one of the finest ever
shown at any Fair, we venture, and
will be a fine recommendation of this
section when shown later at Jack
son in the State Fair. Mr.. Albert
Davis was in charge. Practically ev-
cry kind of grain, vegetable and
fruit that can be produced in this
region was shown in fine develop
ment and tasteful arrangement The
display of needle-work, china paint
ing. etc., was of extraordinary ex-
cellence.
Arlington's display, with Superin-
tendent Smith of the Consolidated
School presiding, included a display
OF native woods, fine cotton, canned
and preserved fruit and vegetables,
fine needle work and many agricul-
tural products. "Grow cotton alone
and grow poor" was an instructive
slogan in this exhibit.
Heuck's exhibit, with Misses Will
lena Furr and Quinnie Cupit in
charge showed variety Of field and
garden products and needle work.
Two artistic quilts made by Mrs. Ma
r1on Furr drew the attention of wo-
men visitors.
Pine Grove sent creditable dis
play. The name of this community
worked out in bits of pine burrs was
an ingenious production.
Johnson Grove School sent an ex-
hibition in charge of Mrs. Wade
Laird and Mrs. M. o. Wilkinson.
which was especially interesting by
reason of the fact that it was hur-
riedly secured and representative of
every day activities of the neighbor-
hood. The handmade furniture of
native woods and cowhide sent by
Messrs. Newt and Eugene Foster,
was feature. The artistic arrange
ment of this booth and the informa-
tion given in regard to the exhibits
by the ladies in charge distinguished
it.
The Union Hall Exhibit, presided
over by Mrs. Pulaski Cameron, Mrs.
Estus Smith and other ladies of the
neighborhood, like it's predecessors
at other fairs, was a classic. Ex-
cellent workmanship, fine taste and
a striving for perfection character
lied this extensive display. From
the homemade corn meal in two COL
ors, white and yellow, to the scrap
book of published poems by Miss

Beautiful growing ferns Of many va
rieties which were on sale, and the
large and perfect apples raised by
Mr.. Will Mason and purchased for
demonstration purposes by Mr.. G. B.
Perkins, were two of the many pro-
ducts deserving special note. A tri-
butte to Mr.. Perkins, president Of
last years fair, and active in the
success of this one. was the placing
of his photograph beneath the name
of the community with the legend
"The man who made this possible"
Quentin, Franklin county, sent a
marvellous display of beautifully de-
corated cakes, sewing and candy.
Oak Grove, with Miss Beulah Will

exhibit from the Rev. N. f. Jacks,
"Noraetta Dairy Farms, and a re-
markable display Of cotton from Mr..
Luther Nations place.
Friendship sent display of cane,
corn, lespedeza hay, etc. A giant
weed stalk in full bloom was part of
this exhibit, and since fiourishing
weeds indicate rich soil Friendship
will claim the richest soil in the
county.

Navy Day.

The Navy rendered vital service
to the nation and to humanity dur
ing the World War. No great heet
action was fought to give spectacu-
lar emphasis to its vital contribu-
tion to the victory. But the convoy,
the anti-submarine patrol, the mine
barrage were essential factors in the
winning of the war and the saving
of civilization. So it has been in
every crisis of our history-the Ma
Wy has not failed. In the Revolution,
the war of 1912, the Civil War, the
Spanish American War, victory with
out the Navy would have been vir-
tually impossible. Today our peace
and prosperity are safegnarded by
the Navy. 1t is an agent of stabil-
ity in a troubled world. 1t carries
no threat, but it lends authority to
Americas voice, speaking for altru-
ism, justice and law.
On Navy Day we would celebrate
the conservation to duty of the per-
sonnel of the present Navy; the glo-
rious services rendered to the nation
by the Navy of the past. We would
emphasize it's unity with every inter,
est and activity of the national life.
1t is good for the people to stop a
moment and consider what has caus-
ed the nations prosperity and great
ness. The Navy has played no small
part in the progress of America to
it's present state of influence.
Those who proposed the celebra-
ton of Navy day, who urge upon
you what they believe to be an OPP
portunity of patriotic service, are
advocates of peace. They believe in
and support the policy of reduction
of armaments by agreement but re-
ject as absurd the faulty of disarm-
ament by example. Living in world
of reality they would foster the in

Agriculture in Canada has the sta

fled on and farmed without any in.

processes are going with the dwindling
availability of the land, and rapidly
passing is the epoch of the destruc-
ton Of soil values, and the abandon
ment of farms which have been rem

farming is a specialized profession re-

place of this spoliation there is an

BETTER
ROADS
AFFECTING GRADING
labor Costs, Character Of Soil Graded
and Time Limit on Contracts
All Counted.

Prepared by the United States Department
OF Asriculture.)
A great variation in the conditions
1nder which grading for highways is
lone in different sections of the United
States is reflected In cost data COM
piled by the bureau of public roads,
United States Department of Agricul-
ure, on 1850 miles of federal-aid road.
The figures cover the four-year period
I917-1921 and are based on a total Of
!4,500.000 yards Of earth.
For the groups of states the aver
age price per cubic yard is as fol-
.ows: New England and Middle At
.antic states, S1.33; East North Cen
raj, S0.6S; West North Central. S0.49 !;
South Atlantic, S0.61; East South Cen
trail, S0.41; West South Central, S0.35 /;
Mountain, S0.52; and Pacific states,
s0.61. The general average price was
sO.56.
Probably the most important factor
affecting the cost was the amount OF
grading to be done per mile, the
quantity being very small in the
groups having the highest prices. In
general 1t is noticed that where mostly
old roads are rebuilt, the light work
and tearing up the old pavement great
ly affected the cost. The amount OF
fine grading or trimming required for
the higher types of pavement was also
a factor. Labor costs, character of
soil to be graded, climatic conditions,
time limit on contracts, and cost of
detours for traffic also affected the
cost.
While each group of states did not
have the same volume Of grading each
year, and therefore the average figure
for the whole country is net truly
representative, 1t is interesting TO note
that the average cost Of grading grad
