 Hour, of Labor
 Probably none of the handicaps which New England endures are greater than the legaI hours of labor in force in her several states. Our ntirhboring state. Massachusetts once the greatest or all cotton textile states, has had forced upon her iS-hour week. Small wonder that she CaEnot continue lp compete with Gen@a Kentucky Mississippi. North Carolina and south carolina. all of which operate under 60-huur law. Small wonder tha; tf,. great silk in- dusIry in our own sf;4fe finds il bur densome to meet the demands for in- creased wages when in competition with New Jersey which operates un- der 60-hour week.
 "Of course, there arr those who say. without knowledge Of facts. that production is greater under the short er working schedule. I need only point out that in a recent study of 4S6 plants with 375.U0o cmployes it was shown that under the 4S-hour week only 2.9 per cent increased pro- auction: only : per cent maintained production; while in 90.l per cent production was materially decreased. Similar conclusive arguments may al- so be found for your particular in- dustry-for the metal industry, boots and shoes, silks. woolens. cottons and other industries.
 'f say to you. therefore. that we must look to our lanrels, Whereas New England once furnished the en- tire country with textiles, today every towel used by the Pullman company is made in kanuapolis North Caro- llna.

they were manicured by Misses Verna
Fogg, Carolyn Sparks and Grace
Cummings in costume.

for the desirable details in the pre-
sentation and handled the performance
so that there was an elegant profess

''The County Fair"
Splendid Success
Local Talent Shown In Eastern
Star Show Wednesday
Night

THE County Fair given at tht
Broad Theatre Wednesday evening
was apparently liked by the partlclp-
ants on the stage but the audience
which filled the theatre, not only alo
that but also thoroly enjoyed the me
ly varied entertainment. 1t was pre-
sented by the Penns Grove Chapter
No. sc, of the Eastern Star II the
ladies with a few men comprised the
cast in old fashioned costumes.
1t was a real old style county 1alr
with exhibits of patch work quilts n
vegetables, to which Joe Craig, as
Uncle Jake Spruceby brought IN ms
big "pun'kin." Then Boss Jones, VINO
was running the fair, according to MS
elaborate announcements, imposlngIy
rendered by Hansen DolbOw, person
ally climbed the long step ladder 70
hang the quilt for Sophonla Perkins
Miss Sophonia was characterlzeq by
Mrs. Josephine Hunt and she, incident
ally, did some great climbing AFTER
Boss Jones, himself.
Elizabeth Diver, as Widow SmlthelS
came early with her almanac and was
the leading character until the end,
which was marked by her obtaining
her husband number five. Inc one
to fall was Widower Jones VINO came
in with his two boys. In this part
Jacob Barnes proved to be an except
ional actor and when it came to the
proposals his clever actions OF a hefV-
Gus sutton were so realistically zone
that the audinece had very many
hearty laughs before the WHO"
accepted. In the parts OF the WIDOW
er's children Frances HoIton and JACK
Sickler were quite at home on the
stage by the way they kept going with
the scrapping with each other OF any
body they could find. Little MISS
Frances did have more than a usual
share of attention, but she Won IL D.!
such mischievous antics.
The gawky Handy Andy was on
hand at all times to do efraHds Iot
Boss Jones and the women at the tar
and he was realistically acted by JOS
eph Gentieu. His girl friend, GlggIlhg
Sal. BY Mrs. Pauline Gentieu, was
right with him in the many funny
doings. which included grabbing eat
from anybody's lunch basket. MI.
Gentieu rendered a solo Of "She4s Ne
Pal2 very finely and Mrs. Gentieu
during the song acted with him M a
manner of a country boy and girl. II
may be stated that these two did about
the finest acting of the evening.
Mrs. Frances Cramer as Mrs.
Scheitzenberger and her seven child
rem did finely adopted acting with the
"gute Kindern."
The bride and groom at the County
Fair" were the big sensation with Mrs.
Marietta Holton, as Birdie, and Harry
Barber, as the groom. The bride was
so generous with the affectionate gush
that the groom was kept there with
the blush, and that could not have been
more realistic. The two were so good
at their parts that they were "the
scream of the evening"
Jere H. Long, as Prof. Sparatti, an
nounced grandly his acts for the fair,
the first two being the operate singer
and the wild man. Mrs. Alonzo Van
neman, of Deep Water, gave a very
we'll sung number, Lilac Tree" Then
the wild man, Robert Walker, made
a good showing, but the professor said
