DAVIS ON THE STATE FAIR
SECRETARY OF THE STATE FAIR
COMMISSION SAYS NEXT ONE
WILL BE RECORD BREAKER.

Fred l.. Davis Of Hartford States
That September Attraction Will
Excel Those That Have Gone Before
In the Number and Quality Of At
fractions.
Fred l.. Davis OF Hartford secretary
of the State Fair Commission, was in
this city Monday and in CONVERSE
ton with a representative of the
Journal expressed his belief that the
State fair to be held at White River
Junction September 1923, would be
record breaker In the number and
quality of attractions furnished. Mr..
Davis is now negotiating for great
barbecue feast to be held on the first
day of the fair which will be served
free to all visitors on the opening
ay of the exhibition.
Other attractions will be the famous
diving horses, King" and Queen
also the finest trapeze act now before
the public in which five people pa tic
ipate and very clever comedy in
which five people take part.
1t is expected that the best racing
ever seen in the State will be furnish
ed as there are no important races in
Massachusetts or Connecticut or else
where in Vermont during that week.
For this reason, the entries exceed by
35 any other race meet in this circuit.
Some of the fastest horses entered in
New England will seek the $4,000 Of
fered as stakes and purses for this
week The Norwich University ca
diets will give drills, wrestling con-
tests on horseback and melee contests
which consist in knocking off of he'll
NETS and other interesting features
including a fitting contest and the
picking up of handkerchief from the
ground by the rider when the horse
is in full gallop. The fitting contest
was an interesting feature of last
years State fair but this year the ca
diets have practiced faithfully for the
event and closer contest is expected.
The construction of Morgan horse
ring was begun yesterday on the fair
grounds, the expense being borne by
the Morgan Horse Club. On one side
of the ring seats have been erected
sixty feet long and five tiers high
from which spectators may view the
Judging of the horses, This club has
offered a large number of special
prizes and it is expected there will be
assembled for the fair the largest and
the best exhibit of Morgan horses
ever seen at any one place in the
world. The industrial department
of the Boston and Maine railroad has
set out 80 apple trees on the grounds
which will form one of the interest
ing exhibits of the fair. State Fores-
ter Halves ha sset out white pine, Nor
way spruce and other seedlings
which will make an exhibit of more
than ordinary interest
A great number of special prizes,
islver cups and trophies, have bee1
offered in addition TO the regular pre-
miums. A check for $500 was receiv-
ed recently from President Charles S.
Mellen of the New York, New Haven
and Hartford railroad which will be
offered as special prizes the nature of
which will be announced later. AL
ready it is certain that laree num-
Der OF cattle will be exhibited at the
fair and the outlook is excellent for
the best fair ever held in Vermont,

A CIRCUS ROMANCE.
BilIposter With FOrepaugh-SeIIs Car
Receives Message From Old Love.

Receives Message From Old Love,
There probably was no happier man |
in Montpelier or the entire Green
Mountain State for that matter, Mon
day than Dick Simpson of Paola,
Kans., a billposter employed on ad-
vertising car No 1, of the Forepaugh-
Sells circus which has been in the
city since Sunday morning while the
crew of advertisers have been engaged
in billing for the coming of the big
show three weeks hence.
Simpson had Monday received a
message from his sweetheart from
whom he had been parted several years
and left with the car for st. Adams
from which point he planned to leave
for Cleveland, O., last evening to
claim the girl whose time faded pic
ture he had carried in his watch for
many years.
The message that will bring the
lovers together was written on cir
Gus poster, the message read, "Dick,
Come back. 1t was all my fault.
Jennie r. Harris, 1917 East Bird St.,
Cleveland, o."
Simpson was at Barre yesterday af-
ternoon posting bills for the coming
of the big show. In opening UP one
of the bills he beheld the above legend
and address,. After completing his
work he returned to the advertising
car and told his story to Harry B.
Graham, manager of the publicity
conveyance.
Mr.. Graham is cupid at heart al
though he does not resemble the mis-
chievious. little god in male pulchri-
tude. He gave Simpson leave of alb
sence to go to Cleveland and clasp
to his bosom the woman from whom
he had parted way out West in Kan
sas nearly ten years ago.
Simpson was rather shy telling the
story but Mr.. Graham was conversant
with most of the details and con-
sented to tell most of the facts to 3
representative of the Morning Journal.
"A ueCdue dSO ClupSOu anu MISS
Harris were boy and girl sweethearts
back in the little farming village Of
Paola. Happy was their love amid
the sunflowers and waving corn in
the prairie commonwealth. One day
the green eyed monster of jealousy
instilled its poisonous venom in the
mind of the Western lassie
Then Simpson went away with a
circus. When he returned the next
year he found that his little sweet
heart had moved with her parents to
Cleveland, o. AS much as he loved
her he swore that never would he re-
turn to her until she summoned him.
Time went on and the message did
not come. Simpson learned of how
Jennie's parents had met reverses in
fortune, how she had been forced to
go to work for the Morgan Lithograph
Company of Cleveland. Yet his pride
stayed the will that would have taken
him to her side.
Yesterday the message came and
unless the Rutland and New York
Central lines fail in their duty Simp-
son is half way to Cleveland and his
long lost sweetheart.
Mr.. Graham explained that the girl
has evidently heard that Simpson was
a billposter with the Forepaugh-Sells
show and took the posters as the
maanc of communicating har hilIet
deux.
This means of transmitting mes
sages is often employed by country
girls who write on eggs but as far as
is known this is the first instance of a
circus poster being the means of unit
ing pair IF long lost lovers.

Hints for the Laundry.

An apron worn while hanging the
clothes helps keep them clean.
Black cotton hose should be dried
and ironed df at alD, on the wrong

Combinations for Meals.

There are no fixed laws regarding
the choice of certain vegetables to
serve with certain meats, but custom
has arranged certain combinations be-
cause they undoubtedly harmonize.
The composition of foods should
be studied by all intelligent
housekeepers as we all want
to serve we'll balanced meals.
We would not want at one meal. pota-
toes, rice, macaronl, tapioca or corn
starch, because any two is plenty OF
starch for a meal, and one is enough.
When fish takes the place of meat
we feel the need of rich sauces and
a dessert of more nutriment, as fish
does not contain as much as meat.
In the simple. everyday life Of most
homes, the dinner comes at noon. and
the majority of homes are satisfied
with two courses.
II rich soup is served, one needs
a very little for the main course, and
heavy dessert of pudding steamed
or baked with sauce. makes a good
meal.
During the summer months the
heavy puddings give way to fruits
salads, gelatine desserts, and ices oi
all kinds, which may or not, be large
In food value. salad with an oi
dressing with sandwiches. and a cur
of tea or cocoa, is a good meal.
When one is serving heavy roas
like pork with accompanying vege
tables. very light dessert should b'
provided.
When rich cream or hard sauce 4
served with a light dessert, 1t add
greatly to the food value of the dish
Raisins and nuts are an ideal des
sert. and one that may always b.
ready in an emergency.

Silk Seams.

The making of silk blouse is rem
dered all the more difficult, where the
home dressmaker is concerned, by
the fact that the seam to lie fiat must
be ironed, while hot iron is only too
apt to mark the silk indelibly. By
far the best course to pursue is that
of passing each seam. open or closed.
over the upturned edge of warm
iron. With both hands the seam
should be pulled taut and slowly
passed over the iron. care being taken
to avoid touching more than the
seam with the point or side and there
by marking the material underneath.
