I was decided 10 offer three prizes

Apropos OF the action Of the
directors OF the Batteukill Valley
Industrial Society last Saturday We
would quote a few lines from the
Dorset items OF May 10th. which
was a report OF the business meet
ing OF Dorset Grange OF May Sth.
II was also voted 10 have the Mas
ter interview the directors OF the
Fair Association and see II they
could not be persuaded TO offer a
prize TO the Grange of Bennington
or Rutland County making the best
agricultural exhibit II certainly
would be a good thing for the Bat
tenkill Industrial Society as well
as for the farmers. II would create
a healthy competition. and there is
no doubt but that there would be y
great display of farm products. Dor
set Grange would like very much TO
hear from the other Oranges IN this
section" The foregoing shows What
was being done on the subject over
a month ago. Credit should be
given where credit Is due.
The program OF the Dorset
Grange last week was very interest
ing and enjoyed by all present The
playlet presented by Miss Ruby Har-
wood as Mrs. Blekford and Miss
llazelN Seymour as Mrs. Tattleton
was most amusing, and caused a
great deal OF laughter. The young
ladies' were very good. acting their
parts 10 the letter. The Good
Roads debate was spirited, and we
hope will eventually produce re-
suits The discussion as to the
worth of the average boy brought
out varied assortment of ideas,
and considerable amusement. The
decision was that the boy was worth
al that he cost to bring up aud In
many instances proved 10 be worth
very much more. TIE coming
exhibit. the pr romosed G as,e EAbi.
bit at the Manchester Fair, and the
coming Corn exhibit to be held In
October were all brought up and
were freely discussed. Altogether
il was a very successful meeting.
The tuberculosis Exhibit and
Lecture in School Hall last week
was well attended and tho people
showed great interest In the diff
'erent displays for the prevention Of
-he disease. Dr. Ladd's lecture was
4 plain statement Of facts which all
could understand, aud which ht
proved by pictures thrown on the
screen There is no doubt the iec-
.ure will do lot OF good aud more
are will be taken TO keep the lily
lest out of the house.
