Come To The Fair

An agricultural fair, intermixed with a
limited number of midway attractions and
entertaining program features, is fine
thing for any county and does more than
most any other institution to promote To-
cal pride, goodwill and good fellowship.
Serving as medium of attracting and
assembling the best that is produced or
made on the farms and in the homes, an
agricultural fair, more than anything else,
shows just what county has. Last year
large majority of the people who visited
the Ashe Fair expressed surprise that there
were such fine fruits, vegetables and crops
raised in the county.
'Those sewing and canning exhibits are
the best ever saw anywhere" one lady
who has seen fairs in many sections of the
country, declared. 'Ive been living here
all of my life. but honestly did not know
we grew such perfect things" another per-
son asserted.
"By presenting the best that is produced
in the county, we sincerely hope that this
Fair will serve as an inspiration to all
farmers to farm more scientifically, to
plant more improved varieties Of seeds, to-
breed better livestock and to make their
farms and homes more prosperous and
more beautiful" the foreword in the Cata-
logue aptly points out.
Another thing that Fair does is to pro-
vide clean and wholesome entertainment
for young and old persons alike. Most of
the people living in West Jefferson were
amazed last year over the fact that there
were only three or four persons arrested
during the entire Fair week here, and
these persons were only charged with pub
lie drunkenness.
Practically everyone who attended the
Fair was so busy seeing interesting and
entertaining things that he or she had no
desire to "get into trouble or to get drunk
and fight Our people are, like everybody
else, hungry for amusement and good
Fair gratifies that yearning.
Another important feature of Fair is
that it advertises community and coun-
ty It creates a good deal of publicity out
side of the county, attracts people from
other sections and brings outstanding
speakers This year we are honored and
fortunate in having Hon. Kerr Scott and
Congressman R. L. Doughton to speak.
The benefits from a county fair ARE
numerous and we congratulate the various
civic organizations and the farm agents
office for their unselfish interest in the
Yoronootion of the AShe County Fair
We also commend the merchants of West
Jefferson and the county for their gener-
Gus contributions and support which real
ly make the Fair possible.
On behalf of the executive committee,
we extend a most cordial invitation to you
to enter and to attend the Fair here next
week. You'll enjoy it, and let's make it an
other big success!

Allies Reported Ready
To Finance hewU.S
{ Explosives Plants
Already Contemplate
Purchases in Excess
Of 500, 5000
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Heavy allied orders for explosives
appeared likely today to produce an
expansion Of American powder
manufacturing facilities comparable
to that now taking place In the
aircraft industry.
Great Britain and France, al
ready contemplating purchases in
excess Of 100000 900, were repre-
sented by munitions authorities as
ready to finance new factories as
they did in 1914-17. before the
United States entered the World
War.
The first evidence Of this was the
disclosure yesterday of a 81 l,427 900
Franco British advance to the Atlas
Powder Co. of Wilmington, Del, to
increase facilities for manufacture
of TINT, the explosive used in artil-
lery shells.
The concern was said to have con-
tracted already for doubling the
capacity of its plants In Missouri.
Larger Deals Delayed.
Uncertainties over the course of
the European conflict and taxation
difficulties with the Treasury have
delayed much larger deals, 1t was
said.
Negotiations have been in pro-
gress for months for a $25, ,000, 900
powder plant financed by France to
turn out an initial $25 900 900 order.
