i ALENT FOR STATE CONVENTION.
Editor Holland of the Stanstead
Journal has had some unique and inter
esting, though not altogether agree
able, experiences in defending prohibi
tion across the line, and Vermonters
will be eager to listen to his ctory of
that fight. The W. C T. U. state
convention dates are Sept. 8-10. and
one of its strong features, will be a
mass meeting in the opera hall at
which Editor Holland, Rev. Wm. Shaw,
and other as well-known men will be
the speakers. Miss Anna Gordon,
long associated with ; Frances E.
Willard in W. C. T. U. work will be
present and speak Wednesday evening,
the 8th, at the reception with which
the, convention opens. Mrs. James
Borden Estee of Montpelier and Mrs.
Mary Grace Canfield of Woodstock,,
both brilliant women, will be among
the . speakers, giving suffrage for
women the important place which our
most thoughtful people assign to it in
connection with temperance work..
This work is one of the big things'
which engage the attention ' of our
people today and it is expected that
his convention .beginning two weeks
from this date will give evidence that
Vermont is in no wise' lacking in
enthusiastic interest. 5 ' '
Schools Open Next Tuesday.
F. Jay Bates .has returned 'from
spending the summer . in Connecticut,
and at the summer session of Columbia
university, New York, where he spent
seven weeks in study, and the profes
sor is busy getting : things in line for
the new school year which opens Tues
day. The rest of the teaching force is
expected the last of the; week and the
activities of the school will be wel
comed. Miss Ferrin has spent a part
of her vacation in study at the summer
session of Middlebury college.
Owing to the fact that a tuition rate
of $12 per term was printed in the
announcement issued vby the school
trustees it has been reported that
there was to be a tuition for local
students. This is not true. The tui
tion rate of $12 is for students attend
ing our high school from outside this
district, and in this event the town
from which they come pays the tuition
and the new rate is in keeping with
the new school laws.

THE COUNTY FAIR
The Most Successful Event in Years.
New Departments Prove Valuable.
Fine Racing.
. The Orleans County Fair last week
was a pronounced success. The at
tendance, while not extremely large,
was good, totalling about 12,000 for
the three public days. Nearly every
department was well filled with ex
hibits and several contained more
entries than ever before.
The races were particularly good
better than the summary ' indicates.
The track was fast and good time was
made. The string of horses was ex
ceptionally large and all were out for
the money; ;
The ball games were fast, especially
that on the second day between Iras
burg and North Troy. ; Irasburg won
the gams'by the score of 4 to 3,scoring
the winning run in the ninth inning.
The game on Wednesday was won by
Barton, who played Derby Line and
won from Newport on Friday.
There were 11 boys who entered the
boys' stock-judging contest and consid
erable interest resulted.' The winners
were 1st, Rawson Calkins of Westmore,
who stood far ahead of all others and
bis reward was $10.- Joseph Alexander
of Glover stood second and received
$5. E. Aldrich Alexander of Glover
was third with a prize of $3 and Lucian
J. Whitehill of Derby won the fourth
prize of $2.
The exhibit of stock this season was
well graded and some especially fine
registered stock was shown in several
departments. Charles Root of Crafts
bury had a fine lot of registered
Jerseys and Wm. Cameron showed
others which were equally good. '.
P. Eldridge of Glover and F. A. Willey
of Irasburg were among the exhibitors
of premium stock.
The big string of Herefords from
the Marston Stock farm of Orford,
N. H., were again shown this season
and, while not quite as many in number
as last year, the showing was very fine.
In the fat cattle line N. G. Simpson
of Lyndon Center carried off the pre
miums which were not taken by the
Orford bunch. In oxen and steers
Sherman Howland was winner of
both first and second premiums. There
was a very fair showing in grade
Jerseys. Several good specimens of
reigstered Durhams were shown by
Simpson of Lyndon as well as a good
number of grade Durhams. In regis
tered and grade Guernseys GrantWhite
of West Glover showed good stock in
both classes, as did A. F. HinckJey.
There was a good showing in swine
and a fairly good showing of sheep in
several breeds. The poultry showing
this season was better than ever
before, both in . quality and quantity.
There has never been anything like
the amount or poultry shown here
before and not only was the 'large
poultry house filled to capacity, but
an addition was built on the dog ken
nels which accommodated a large
number of pens, but which was not
adequate to hold them all and many
pens and crates were exhibited about
the house.
In standard bred horses Sam Bean
wa3 a premium winner and in general
purpose horses E. P Ducharme and H.
AL McLaughlin were the prize winners.
In fillies and geldings there were
several particularly good entries, as
well as in foals of 1915 and in two
year olds.
The new departure at the fair this
season, of a full fledged baby contest,
met with pronounced sucess."' There
were twenty-six entrants, from nearly
every town in the county and certainly
there should have been prizes enough
to have gone all the way around. The
judges, Drs. Nichols, Lanphear and
Buck, had much difficulty in selecting
the prize winner, but finally agreed
that the dinner set, awarded by the
Moxie company and valued ' at $30
should go to Miss Leota Ellen George,
daughter of Elmer and June Annis
George of Albany. In judging, not
only is the appearance taken into
account, but the weight, chest meas
urements and age also count and no t
child over one year old was eligible to
contest. The method used in this
contest is the same as used at other
fairs and contests in New England.
Another season it is expected that
cash prizes will be offered and there
will be more than one prize.
The Poultry premium awards will be
published next week.

CUNNING VERSUS WISDOM.
Cunning differs from wisdom
as twilight from open day. He
that walks in the sunshine goes
boldly forward by the nearest
way; he sees that where the
path is straight and even he
may proceed in security, and
where it is rough and crooked
he easily complies with the
turns and avoids the obstruc
tions. But the traveler in the
dusk fears more as he sees less;
he knows there may be danger
and therefore suspects that he
is never safe; tries every step
before he fixes his ,foot and
shrinks at every noise lest vio
lence should approach him. Wis
d6m comprehends at once the
end and the means, estimates
' easiness or difficulty and is'cau
, tipus or confident1 in due 'propor
tion. Cunning discovers little at
aftime and has no other means '
ofj certainty than multiplication
of stratagems and superfluity of
suspicion. The man of cunning
always considers that he can
never be too safe and therefore
always keeps himself enveloped
in a mist, impenetrable, as he
hopes, to ; the eye of rivalry or
curiosity. Dr. Johnson,
