TEMPERANCE TALKS

The following may awaken re-
Elections that will induce a change
from lukewarmness to action
Think of praying "Our Father
Who art in Heaven" and then vot-
ing with tax and license parties to
perpetuate the liquor traffic upon
earth, thus aiding the power of
darkness, or "Hallowed be Thy
Name. Then voting to legalize
the liquor traffic by tax or license,
which causes Gods name to be
continually blasphemed.
Thy Kingdom Come, then vot-
ing that Satan's kingdom-the sa-
looms, etc.-may continue, if they
will only pay the price which pol
iticians have fixed upon them.
Thy Will be Done, then voting
with and for liquor sellers to keep
on under tax or license laws that
which is the greatest hindrance to
having Gods VIII done on earth.
Give us this day our Daily
Bread" and then voting to legalize
that which takes the bread from
thousands of starving mothers and
helpless children; Lead us Not
into Temptation" then voting that
the allurements and destruction of
the saloons may go on under some
form of tax or license.

TOWNSEND COMMUNITY HALL
Women's Civic Club and Promin-
ent Citizens Back of Movement

A movement to have commun-
ity hall in this locality was given
support recently when a commit
tee of members from the Woman's s
Civic Club met with the Town
Board for the purpose of discuss
ing plans for the project, either in
securing a suitable place in which
to meet or have a new building
erected for the purpose. Efforts,
SO far, however, are based more on
the plan of securing rooms in the
same public place than in new
building plan, but the action would
probably result in q new model
home for the purpose later on.
The committee working in the in
terest of the needed project are
Mrs. Daisy Johnson, Mrs. Frances
Whitcomb and Mrs. @. P. Don
ovan. So far some progress has
been made and further action to
assure the success of the plan, will
likely be pushed forward with
vigor.

estrian must come out from behind
a parked car which obstructs the
vision of the oncoming motorist. He
may be near the crossing. In that
case there is only one thing for the
pedestrian to do and that is not to
step out from behind that car until
he has seen that the passage both
ways is safe. 1t is also the duty of
the motortst to guard against just
such an emergency.

Premiums Restricted
To Carolina Products

premium list has been printed and
is now ready for distribution, Mr..
schaub said. Those desiring copies
Iof the list should make application
directly to Mr.. Norman Y. Cham
bliss, manager, at Raleigh.
Until last fall, county home and
farm agents were able to give con-
siderable time to selecting, assem-
bling and preparing farm products
for exhibit at the annual State Fair.
However, the cotton plow-up cam
|paign, the tobacco work and the
emergency canning program pre-
vented the agents from taking an
active part in helping with the fair
in 1888.
This should not deter individuals
from selecting their choice live
stock, field crop and garden to be
shown at the fair this fall, said Mr.
Schaub.
Truth is said to be stranger than
fiction, but some people say they do
not hear it often enough so they
lean form any opinion about it.

The North Carolina State Fair
will restrict its premiums on agri-
cultural products to North Caro-
lima growers alone and will pay
competitors $4,000 for the agri-
cultural exhibits made.
This means that Tarheel farm
ers should plan to enter more of
their products at the Fair this year,"
says Dean 1. O. Schaub, head Of the
extension service at State College.
"We are asking our county farm
and home agents to aid growers in
selecting and preparing exhibit ma
terial when possible but we shall
not be able to aid in this work to
any great extent due to emergency
canning and crop adjustment pro-
grams now underway. The fair last
fall was an excellent exposition but
failed to measure the agriculture of
the State because of the few agri-
cultural exhibits made. l am hope
full that this will be remedied this
fall"
The State Fair will be held during
the week of October 8 to IS. The
