Travelled 4,O23 Miles; Saw Many
North Carolinians

Mr.. and Mrs. G. H. Paulsen
are back home from their auto
mobile tour to the west.
When they were going through
st. Louis, with a banner reading
"U. N. C.-Carolina" ON the
rear of their car, they were
hailed by a citizen:
"Wait there a minute-I want
to talk to youv"
He was C. A. Oettinger, once
of Charlotte, graduate of the
University in the class of 1910
and he wanted to know all about
what was happening in Chapel
Hill. In return for news he
showed them the way out of
town leading to Kansas City.
All along the route the trav-
elers were running across North
Carolinians.
Mr.. Paulsen, Mrs. Paulsen,
and their three children camped
every night, their canvas exten-
sion affording them plenty of
room. They went 4,023 miles
altogether, and all they had to
do to their car was to get a new
fan wheel. They Travelled more
than 600 miles in the State of
Kansas. Both Mr.. and Mrs.
Paulsen have relatives there.

AS always at this season,
when the University starts a
new year, Chapel Hill welcomes
many new citizens. Principal
ly these are members of the fac
ulty, but there are others be-
sides-school teachers, business
folk, workers in various trades,
and families who come to live
here while their sons and daugh-
.ters are in college.
Where to live? is question
that has given the newcomers a
lot of trouble. Some have been
lucky enough to be provided for
we'll in advance; Dthers have had
to snatch whatever quarters
they could, on short notice. Of
these last, some are looking for
ward to building homes of their
own. The congestion in the
town, despite the many new
houses put up, seems worse than
ever. On the campus, the Uni
Iversity is being forced to put
three students in a room, and
this state of erowdednes is re-
fiected in the rest of the COM
munity. -.e.t~F37 ~ .'1,~~-
These days, one of the urgent
duties of a head of a school or
department in the University
seems to be to buzz about and
find places for his professors to
live. For example, D. D. Car

merce, when he heard several
months ago that c. L. Lindsay

FAIRS IN COUNTY
BEGIN NEXT WEEK
FRS. VIII Be at Sunnysids Tuesday;
Final Celebration at Hlsboro
in October
A STIMULUS TO AGRICULTURE

With the Inauguration next
week of a series of local fairs,
ending with a county fair in
Hillsboro in the first week OF
October, agriculture in Orange
is receiving a powerful stimulus.
The first fair will take place at
Sunnyside Tuesday.
This years gatherings are an
inexpensive and unpretentious
beginning. Farmers and the
wives of farmers, and their sons
and daughters, are simply asked
to bring to convenient centers
the best specimens they have OF
grains and vegetables and live
stock and poultry and home
products. The exhibits will be
judged, and modest prizes will
be given. The necessary money
is to be raised by asking each
person who attends fair to give
ten cents.
r. P. Harris, the agriculture
teacher in the Chapel Hill school,
has been going about the coun-
try in a, house-to-house canvas,
telling about the plans for the
fairs and arranging for exhibits.
Even if farmers can't them
selves bring things to the show,
he wants them to come and look.
The value of the fairs, it is ex-
pected, will be so generally rec
ognized that they will grow in
favor and importance from year
to year.
John F. McAdam, the register
of deeds, is active in helping to
make arrangements for the final
county fair in Hillsboro.
The schedule of local fairs is
as follows:
Tuesday, September l8, Sun
nyside; w e dne d y, White
Cross and St. Mary's; Thursday,
Orange Grove and Cedar Grove
Friday, Damascus and Efand
Saturday, Chapel Hill and Hills
boro; Tuesday, Sept. 25, Mer-
ritt's and Murphey; Wednesday,

OPERETTA TO BE GIVEN
TWO NIGHTS NEXT WEEK

The stage is all set for the two
productions of "a Nautical
Knot to be given next Thurs
day and Friday evenings at the
Vashon theatre by the Vashon-
Maury Island Operetta society.
The cast is being drilled almost
daily under the skillful direction
of Mrs. A. W. Ganly, and a most
pleasing production is expected.
The following is the argument
of the operetta:
Act. l. Julia, the naughty belle
of Barnstapoole, is as proud as she
is beautiful. All the sailor lads
are hopelessly in love with her,
but she scorns them all. On the
eve of the departure of the
Bounding Billow" Tor a years
voyage. Barnabas Lee, a wander
ing artist, comes to town and falls
in love with Julia, who returns
his affection. The sailor lads, driv-
en- to despair by their rivals sue
cess, plan to kidnap Barnabas,
stow him aboard the Bounding
Billow' and carry him to sea.
They are successful in their
scheme and the townsfolk return
ing from seeing the ship sail, an
nounce to Julia that Barnabas was
on 'oard her.
In the meantime Nance-a gen
tie damsel-is loved by Joe Stout.
Joe is as baShful as he is honest.
and fearing a repulSe he induces
Bill Salt to propose to Nance in
his name. Bill promises to per-
form the task, but unfortunately
he meets Julia first, thinking her
the object of Joe'S affections, de-
livers the baShful Suitor'S message
to her.
Julia is a great believer in the
old saying. cone in hand is bet
ter than two in the bushes. " She
tells Bill to bid his friend try his
luck year hence. Bill, delighted
at his supposed success, seeks Joe
and informs him of the result, on
ly to learn of the sad mistake he
has made. The whistle sounds
from the ship "All aboard" and
poor Joe is obliged to sail without
seeing his sweetheart Nance.
Julia tells Nance of Joe's love
for her and Nance is heartbroken.
The Barnstapoolc girls, having
quarreled with the sailors, pre-
tend Indifference at their depart
ure.
Act II. takes place one year
hence. The townsfolk are wait
ing on the quay for the return
of the Bounding Billow." The
Barnstapoole girls meeting par
ty of artists down from town for
the day, take malicious pleasure
in going to welcome the ship, ac-
companied by the artists. The sail
ors, who during their fong alb
sence from home, had quite re-
covered from their love for Julia,
are much chagrined TO find that
the Barnstapoole girls are appar-
emily quite Indifferent to their re-
