The Battle Of eennIneton.

This is Bennington Battle day-but
forget i'll The Bennington battle was to
the Revolutionary struggle what an incl
dental mosquito bite is TO dog that is
flea-intested. Just bite on the side. as
it were.-Rutlsnd News Of August Is.
II is strange how much misinformation
man or q newspaper can give forth and
the foregoing paragraph from the News Is
fair example. II the News had ever
read United States history il would know
better than to exhibit such complete lack
Of intelligence Of one of the most stirring
chapters Of the story OF the American
Revolution.
It is probably waste OF time to at
tempt to teach the News anything, but
really il ought to know that the Battle of
Bennington WIS the turning point and
perhaps the decisive stroke OF the strug-
gle of the colonies against the mother
country. Burgoyne, hitherto victorious,
lost at Bennington over fifteen per cent
of his available lighting force aud much
more than fifteen per cent in moral effect
and prestige. II led directly to the cap
ture of Burgoyne and his army at Sarato-
ga two months later, and it was the cap
tUre of BurgOyne that brought the help
OF France'and fnai victory.

able little yelp at one OF the brightest

t4elpIne New industries.

In discussing before the Montpelier
board Of trade plan for raising funds to
aid new industries, r. A. Rowland stated
that it had been his experience that firms
that had to have aid to get established in
q city were not often successful. In most
cases this is true. There may be excsp-
tional cases. but they are few and far be-
tween. II is more frequently the case
that an industry that has been induced to
locate in q community by reason Of free
rent, exemption from taxation, or q gift
in some ether form, is seeking new pas
lures as soon as these gifts stop. The
promiscuous buying Of industries is net
profitable. The Times believes boards of
trade can do more to build up their COM
munities BY studying local conditions,
making known their home resources and
the advantages offered, perhaps aiding in
the starting OF some new local industry
suited to the location, helping those en-
terprises honestly looking for location
to find q suitable one, and they will de-
velop faster and in a more substantial
manner than those towns making gifts.

At meeting of the Vermont Aero
club, recently formed in Rutland, it was
proposed not only TO arrange for coming
balloon asceLsions but to perfect the or
ganization and get at the most effective
way Of helping along q growing interest
in ballooniDg and seronautics and boom
ing the club throughout the state.
The work of preparing literature, tell
ing OF the purpose of the club, is under
way and the officials think that a distri-
button of pamphlets and membership ap-
plication blanks, together with personal
work, will bring the club in touch with
many people throughout the state who
will be interested in ballooning both as a
sport and from scientific and war stand
points. In this way it is proposed to
make the organization statewide in scope
and interest.
The officials Of the club state that the
only qualifications necessary for member
ship are an interest in baIlooning and en-
thusiasm to push the work along and help
make the Aero club q source OF pride to
the state as well as helping to bring the
state itself nearer to the front with the
sister states Of New England.

SAC Own Fair Grounds.

When the state fair commission throws
open the gates to tie fair grounds at
White River Junction for the annual
event, which takes place Sept. 81, %, %
and "a, the people of the state will enter
upon state property, or, in other words,
their property.
The commission has just received from
the Billings family of Woodstock deed
conveying to the state Of Vermont the
fair grounds at White River Junction.
The grounds contains 90 acres.
When questioned regarding the Bill
ings gift, one Of the state fair commits
sion ssid:-
"While it is difficult always to esti-
mate the value of such property, il is safe
to say that the grounds and buildings
could not be duplicated for fifty thousand
dollars. Not only is it 9 splendid thing
for Vermont family to have given to the
people of the state such q generous gift,
but it sets great precedent for the fu.
ture and shows " hat can be accomplis he'd
in little state like Vermont when the
mountain line is forgotten and sectional.
ism and seIf-interest are cast aside and
the whole state pulls together in the in
terest Of any state enterprise.
"There is no question but that the pub
lie spirit which prompted the great gift
OF the Billings family was largely due tC
the interest taken in the state fair by the
people Of Vermont and to the fact that
the undertaking was made possible be
cause the people as a whole, both on tn,
west side of the state as we'll as on tn,
east side, have taken a strong interest il
the success Of the fair.
1.-THE people of Vermont in Septembel
will attend 8 fair held upon ground
owned by them and in which every per
son in the state has rs much interest a
every other person. This is one reason
why all should attend and make it grea
state gathering"

prominent railroad magnstes whose
presence at the coming state fair is

ment E. II. Hartman, Mr.. Meilen and
others are to be exhibited. There prob
ably will be just enough low minds to

Serious Automobile Accident

As the result of serious autu mobile
accident at Sponord Lake, n. H., Friday
afternoon, A. II. Forbush, q Boston
broker, lies unconscious at the Brattle-
boro Memorial hospital with but slight
chance for recovery.
Mr.. Forbush came 20 Brattleboro to
inspect the six-cylinder Ford automobile
owned by ]. G. UlIery aud which Mr..
ullery had advertised for sale. They
started out to test the machine. going to
Chesterfield and Spofford Lake, n. H.,
about ten miles from there. On their re-
turn, they stopped at the cottage OF
Linn ID. Taylor OF Brattleboro, where Mr..
Ullery left the engine running at the
neutral and got out to speak to some one
at Mr.. Tayior's cottage. Mr.. Forbush,
who claimed to be able to run the car,
said that be thought be would take
short run up the road, turn around aud
pick mp Mr.. Ullery on his way back.
Before Mr.. Ullery could utter protest,
Mr.. Forbush had started the auto and
was travelling along the road at about
eight miles an hour. When be had pro-
ceeded for about 20 rods, the onlookers
saw the machine suddenly swerve and,
barely grazing a large pine tree, it tore
over the eight-foot bank and, dropping to
the beach, rolled over into the lake. AS
the machine went over, il turned q COM
plete somersault and Mr.. Forbush was
pinned under the car, the back OF the seat
falling upon his neck. DR.. +. H. O'Con-
nor Of Brattleboro, who happened 10 be
close to the scene OF the accident. rushed
to bis assistance. Several people removed
the machine from the PROSTATE man and
he vas carried to Mr.. Taylor's garage,
" here the doctor worked over him for
two hours without restoring him to con-
sciousness. He was badly bruised and
although his neck was not broken it is
feared that his brain and head we're in
jured so badly that he cannot live. The
ambulance was summoned from Brattle-
boro and q nurse was sent with it from
the Brattleboro hospital.
While no explanation OF the accident
can be made, it is believed to be due to
the fact that Mr.. Forbush had a wooden
leg and was not able to control the ma
chine, although be had previously owned
similar car. Between forty and fifty
people saw the accident, many OF them
being in boats out on the lake, and these
said that he made no attempt to leap
/ from the machine and made no outcry.
The automobile was badly damaged.
Mr.. Forbush, who is about 80 years
old, is employed by wiggin & Elwell,
bankers and brokers, Of So State street,
