track, in The Messengers opinion, in
its suggestion that rural isolation is a
contributing factor in crime, but ii has
not chosen an instance that happens
to illustrate the argument Mrs. Averill
came here from New Hampshire, had
nor lived in Vermont a year, and did
not reside In a rustic community.
Some day some Of our brethren that

State Aid for Fairs.

Every agricultural fair in Vermont
whose premium list amounts to 81 600
or more would be helped BY the passage
of the Stafford bill providing for a Sl0,-
600 appropriation TO aid the fairs of
the state. The apportionment would
be made according to the amount given
in premiums, and each fair would re-
ceive its proportionate share This plan
Is now in effect in Massachusetts, and
its working gives general satisfaction.
The Reformer has never advocated state
aid for agricultural fairs, but it firm
~ believes in an adequate distribution
OF whatever financial assistance Is deter.
mined upon. 1t firmly believes that If
any money is to be appropriated by the
state for this purpose the money should
be given to those fairs that have shown
their actual worth by demonstrating
their ability to live on their own re-
sources Moreover, il believes that a
majority Of the members of the pres
ent legislature will, after careful con-
sideration, view the matter in the same
light If any part of the states money
is to 90 toward the encouragement Of
competition among our agriculturalists
and livestock breeders, let that encour-
agement be offered where IL will re-
suit in the most good. In other words,
Let the state help those fairs that have
shown the desire and ability to help
themselves if il is 10 help any.-Brat-
tieboro Beformer.
