emplihcation of q duty well performed
we need but to briefly review the
growth and merit of our annual exhibi'
ton. The law creating the state
Board OF Agriculture was enacted in
1S46, and four years later the first
agricultural fair under its auspices
was held near Cincinnati. Tracing its
history from that time, when a few
tents sufilced to house the exhibits, to
the stupendous Exposition of today,
with its one hundred and fifteen acres
of park ground, on which it has been
necessary to erect seventeen nam
moth brick buildings to accommodate
the various displays, we note the won
derful advancements that have been
made during the past half century, and
marvel at the progressiveness OF our
state.
Well conducted agricultural and in
dustrial expositions truly mirror the
greatness of state, and they are now

An American official in England tells
the following as illustrative of a well
known Scotch characteristic:
Upon his accession to the throne OF
Norway, King Haakon VII. was APP
pointed colonel in chief of certain
Scotch regiment. While dressing for
parade duty an enthusiastic subaltern
was communicating this information to
a fellow soldier:

Why Blue Monday.

Monday Is the busiest day OF the
week for me-" said the physician
to the man who had been waiting
half an hour to see him. II wont
try to put up a bluff and tell you
that my office Is so crowded every

ish things on that day, because they
have time to, and they pay for 1t.
In the first place, people eat indi-
gestible, rich food on Sunday that
they would not think OF eating on
any other day. They eat too much
also; in fact, some people nibble away
all day, and in consequence they have
indigestion-for no one has indigestion
so quickly or so acutely as the person
who Is used to regular, wholesome
living, and once in a long while tries
the doctors always in order Mon
day. Then, again, Sunday gives a
person more time to think of his Ills.
A man who will stoically bear pain
on working days and drive it away

frightened at the slightest ache on
Sunday He gets to thinking about
it and comes to the conclusion that
it is serious symptom. So he goes

are planning to entertain the vast
throng of home-comers, and the citl-

viding suitable entertainment and

The ease OF accessibility of the
Capital City by the various steam and
electric railways centering there, to-
gether with the low passenger rates
now in force in Ohio, make a trip to
Columbus inexpensive, and with the
unusual attractions of the Fair and
Home Coming it is freely predicted
that Columbus will be called upon to
entertain the largest gathering this

obstacle in this work is The inability
to secure teams TO haul the garbage

Montpelier should adopt the plan
that is being used in many other
