HER NEWEST DOLL.

He watches Gladys while she writes;
He sits beside her as she sews.
She fondly mods and smiles at him;
kiss to him she often blows.
To callers she denies herself,
Lives quite retired since Lent's begun.
But morning, noon, and night he's there.
Caressed and welcomed, Lucky One!
He is not handsome, for fact;
With grace or wit is not endowed.
For downright ugliness, in truth,
You'd single him in any crowd.
It's just from feminine caprice
That Gladys VOWS he's sweet" and
dear
Declares that fortune, happiness,
Depend upon his presence near.
There's cunning in his twinkling eye,
But Gladys simply won't believe
That while she wastes her love on him
He's laughing at her in his sleeve.

Although I hate him worse than SIM

Health Officer H. L. Stillson of Benn-

board of health, report on conditions at
the county court house and Jail. At the
request of the local health officer the
State board recently made an inspection
of the county building at Manchester and
the findings of this examination consti-
tute sweeping condemnation of the
building, particularly the Jail, from a
sanitary point of view.
In its recommendation the report says
that "the necessity for increasing the
size of the building to meet the obvious
requirements make change of site APP
parently necessary. We therefore
recommend that such change be made
where ample room may be secured for
light and air."
At the last session of the legislature a
bill was passed providing for the build.
ing of a new court house and Jail with a
referendum provision to be voted upon al
the annual March elections when it was
overwhelmingly defeated, not a single
ballot being cast in its favor in several
towns in the northern section of the
county.

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 contain SO acres.
When questioned regarding the Bill
ings gift, one of the State fair commits
sion said:
"While it is difficult always to estimate
the value of such property, it is safe to
say that the grounds and buildings could
not be duplicated for fifty thousand dol
lars. Not only is it a splendid thing for
Vermont family to have given to the
people of the State such generous gift,
but it sets great precedent for the flu

ed in little State like Vermont when
the mountain line is forgotten and Sec
tionalism and self-nterest are cast aside
and the whole State pulls together in the
interest 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 to
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 the
west side Of the State as well as on the
east side, have taken a strong interest in
the success of the fair.
THE people of Vermont in September
will attend fair held upon grounds
owned by them and in which every per.
son in the State has as much interest as
every other person. This is one reason
why all should attend and make it e
